Chorus
Oh, Mrs. T, you look at me, you got those eyes that could set a boy free
A nine year old shouldn't be so bold with his teacher they keep telling me
Verse 1
She couldn't look much better in that angora sweater that she wore so perfectly, love crazed as a boy could be, that feeling took a hold of me.
My friends were all smitten, all helpless kittens caught up in her sensuality, but i couldn't let it be, I had to make her see the man in me.
Chorus
Bridge
I dreamed someday we'd be together, I can't go on like this forever, this fire is burning inside of me
Verse 2
Every lunchtime I'd be the first in line hoping that she'd cast her eyes on me, but gradully I began to see, she rarely ever noticed me.
When the school year ended, my dreams descended when I moved up to the next grade with a teacher that was twice her age, I finally had to turn the page
Chorus

Verse 1
I keep hearing more of the same, you must think it's some little game
Knowing you has made me feel ashamed
I don't want to hear no excuse, I ain't never been big on abuse
We are through, I'm cutting you loose
Your clothes are wrinkled and your hair's out of place
You can't look me straight in the face
I'm starting to wish I could erase my past with you
Chorus
So don't you call me up on the phone, hey bird dog get away from my bone
Can't you see, I want to be alone
Solo
Verse 2
Things worked better when you knew your place, I keep catching you off your base
I don't want to start no federal case but what can I do?
Chorus
Outro- All alone yeah...............
(Hey, why don't you disappear ? Take a long walk off a short pier, then I won't have to hear)

Her Father's Daughter
04:14
|
|||
|
Rows of houses, packing papers, on the bike I go
with every toss i made, the world would be ok
On collect days, ringing doorbells begging for my pay
some tips would come my way, not sure this job's ok
Then I saw her at the screen door with her face aglow
I shyly looked away with out the guts to say, oh...
Please stay awhile longer give me a chance to make this moment stronger, her walk had that way , I've got to make my play
She is her father's daughter, she touched my hand and graced it with a quarter, that was the day, I knew I'd find a way
I didn't always get to see her on collection day, I was so forlorn, I mopped across her lawn. My best friend knew her, he's her neighbor and he would always say, "just look her way and firmly say, that ...
You could never be without her, your mind is filled with all these thoughts about her. Her walk had that way, you've got to make your play.
She is her father's daughter, she touched your hand and graced it with a quarter, this is the day you've got to find a way."
Years later , at the lamp post I held her oh so tight. We kissed alot that night, I finally got it right now
I could never be without her, my mind is filled with all these thoughts about her. Her walk has that way , I finally made my play
She is her father's daughter, she touched my hand and graced it with a quarter. That was the day, we finally found our way.
I could never be without her, my mind is filled with all these thoughts about her That was the day, we finally found our way

Verse 1
I like the way that you feel, the way you feel is so unreal
I like the way that you look, from the first look that I took
I like the way that you act, I like it all and that's a fact
Verse 2
I feel the way that you like, when my emotions start to spike
When you're hot in a clinch, and you can feel each solid inch
When we touch I feel we share, feeling which nothing can compare
Chorus
I like the way that you feel (repeated)
Verse 3
If you like that you feel, you can with me yourself reveal
Then let's put in the time, let's explore each others mind
You sho nuff got that sex appeal, I like the way you make me feel

Love's A Liar

Verse 1
As a little boy I remember watching all the bigger boys at play
Stealing kisses from the girls in cold December, melt their cold hearts like sunny May
Bridge 1
But boys can't cry or show their pain when true love finds another
He'll go out the way he came, but he'll know enough to come in from out the rain...and I remember
Verse 2
The first time I ever held her sweet body next to mine
She said "I'm never ever gonna leave you"
Which of course she did when she changed her mind
Chorus
Ya Ya Yoh....Love's a Liar
Ya Ya Yoh....Love's in vain
Ya Ya Yoh....Love's a Liar
Ya Ya Yoh....but I'm gonna love again
Bridge 2
Late at night on a platform bare it's windy, it's cold and it's raining
I won't let another pass me by, I'll take my chances and climb aboard the train

Verse 1
We found our passion on that summer day, we made a life that was here to stay. There was a sparkle and a silver light, we saw a future that was ever bright,
Chorus
But now it's over an done before it's begun, I always thought that we would be as one, but it wasn't that way, her heart was slipping away, I never thought that we would end up this way
Verse 2
We had each other, we had great designs, she had hers , mine was left behind. I held us up during troubled times. we made it through and she reached her prime
Chorus
Bridge
I might have lost my way along the line, she said she needed just some time to find..all of those dreams that we had shared through the days, but lost the spark along the way.
Chorus

We found our passion on that summer day, but now the life we had is yesterday

Thoughts keep spinning all through our restless minds, always seeking what is true.
You know you're special but you're fed a jaded line, and you hope your friends will pull you through..
Chorus
You don't have to live like you think they want you to
Throw out your doubt and your worry. You're strength will carry you
Find a path that is true and kind, clear the clouds let yourself unwind and
Cross the line, leave it all behind, don't believe the lie in front of you
Verse 2
Up and down, round and round they tell us so
What is real and we should know
On a never-ending river it seems that we will flow
Till a sane spark begins to glow

Chorus
It's the little thing you do , the little things you do, it's the little things, the biggest part of you
Verse2
Your soft kiss and warm embrace, you speak my name as if saying grace, I want so much to give it all back to you
Chorus
It's the little things you do, the little things you do, it's the little things, that really ring true

When I crash into a world of woe, and I'm not sure which way to go
We hold hands, I close my eyes, and I can feel my spirits rise
Verse 3
You wink, you pout, you toss your hair, the way you slide in to a chair
baby, I want to get so close to you
Cause it's the little things you do, the little things you do, it's the little things that make me love you....I love you (repeat)
