Crosseyed Heart
I love my sugar but I love my honey too I’m a greedy mother, you don’t know what to do I’ve got a cross-eyed heart Oooh she’s so sweet but she drives me round the bend I go round the corner and find another friend I got a cross-eyed heart
Heartstopper
My babe don’t like me, she loves me just the same I just can’t help it, it goes against the grain But when she holds me something starts anew She forgives me, and I forgive her too She’s vegetarian, but me, I love my meat She likes it when it’s cool, but I just love the heat But when she holds me something starts anew She forgives me, and I forgive her too When we walking down the street, oh it blows their minds Everybody wants a piece, a piece of mine Even if I cross the road she’s always on the phone I don’t know who she’s talking to, but I’ve walked home alone But when she holds me something starts anew She forgives me and I forgive her too That bitch don’t like me, but she loves me just the same And when she loves me I don’t feel no pain She don’t like me [repeat]
Amnesia
Nowhere, nowhere Don’t know who I am, forgotten my name I got no address and who the hell’s to blame Knocked on my head, everything went blank I didn’t even know, the Titanic sank Nowhere, nowhere Check my past parts but it seems I’ve been around But I can’t remember time like baggage lost and found Thought I met mother, she said "You don’t belong to me Behind you must be trouble, broken hearts and misery" Nowhere, I’m talkin' nowhere (Remember) I try and jock my memory it’s a futile exercise When you amount to nowhere, ha, you don’t get a prize How can I regret, it’s so easy to forget You know everything I do, I know nothing about you No-fucking-where (Remember) I can’t recall the past Nowhere, nowhere Nowhere
Robbed Blind
Someone stole some money Who it is, it ain’t quite clear Stolen from my honey She holds my stash 'round here The cops, you know, I can’t involve them They’d only interfere So, I hit the usual suspects But I drew a blank round then I’m robbed blind, robbed blind Found a letter to her It was from a, a friend of mine It was a plan to screw me That’s what he had in mind The cops, I, can’t involve them Don’t want them coming near 'Cause this thing is getting personal And picture is now quite clear I’m robbed blind, robbed blind, bled dry The stash, no longer matters And he ain’t hard to find Cause he leave the money, honey But the heart you stole is mine The cops, I, can’t involve them God knows what they could find But I’ve learned a lesson from my girl Whose faith is yet to been defined Been robbed blind, robbed blind Robbed blind, thank you sweet Bled dry, that was a damn good try Robbed blind, been robbed blind Robbed blind, bled dry
Trouble
Just because you find yourself off the streets again That don’t mean that I can help you or I ain’t your friend Baby, trouble is your middle name Your trouble is that, that’s your game Now you’re out of circulation, out of reach and out of touch Let me keep you in the loop, though I can’t tell you much Baby, trouble is your middle name The trouble is that, that’s your game Just because I can’t see, see you anymore That’s because honey, you’re doing two to four Baby, trouble is your middle name The trouble is that, that’s your game Just because you find yourself, back to jail again That don’t mean that we can connect You know, I’m still your friend Baby, trouble is your middle name The trouble is that, that’s your game Even though you are still inside I could get you off the hood But I know if I get you out I won’t get a second look Baby, trouble is your middle name The trouble is that, that’s your game Trouble Too much trouble Too much trouble Too much trouble

Just A Gift
Just how I resist a kiss that don’t exist? It’s behind me You’re just like shooting stars hanging round in bars Well it bores me If you find yourself in need and need a friend to call Well you know where I live And I’ll open up that door Whatever they may say, there’s nothing that can stay behind me Cause this just a gift and you give me a lift Come on, surprise me If you want and feel a need to call You know my name My address hasn’t changed at all and I’m still the same That’s all right. That’s all aright That’s all right with me Nothing’s what it seems maybe just a dream If you should find me Cause I’m hanging around in bars with alot of shooting stars And they bore me If you find that you may need a friend You know who to call If you want I’ll meet yo down the stairs and open up the door Cause that’s all right, that’s all right That’s all right with me.
