"Love is Love (Live and Let Love)"
Love is love, it’s what it is
What you get is what you give
It doesn’t matter who’s lovin’ who
As long as somebody is lovin’ you
Don’t pass me your judgment I’ll spare you mine
You’re not your brother’s keeper don’t try to be mine
Love is hard and love is fast
It strokes your cheek, it kicks your ass
It can be crazy but it’s sublime
You’ll see it all in love’s good time
We’re all on the same road let your baggage go
Everyone’s entitled to the love they know
Love is love, live and let love
Love is love, live and let love
Love is blind, you should be, too
What does it matter? Tell me, what’s it to you?
Don’t criticize any love you see
Live and let love and let the lovers be
Love is love, live and let love
Love is love, live and let love
Soli
Love is blind, you should be, too
What does it matter? Tell me, what’s it to you?
Don’t criticize any love you see
Live and let love and let the lovers be
Love is coarse, love is fine
One man’s poison is another man’s wine
Whenever love dares speak its name
Lend your ears ‘cause it’s all the same
If you’re a man or a woman or in-between
Love your king, love your queen
Love is love, live and let love

Just Won't Let Me Be

"Just Won’t Let Me Be"
I met you on a Monday, we cruised all over town
I met your momma on a Tuesday, she said: Don’t you let my little boy down
Don’t want no fussin’, no fightin’ no feudin’, no gripin’
No cheatin’, mistreatin’, no heavy drinkin’
She must be crazy – what is she thinkin’?
She just won’t let me be
She just won’t let me be
She just won’t let me be
She just won’t let me be
Saw you and you momma on Wednesday drivin’ around in my new car
I walked downtown on a Thursday - my wheels were parked at the bar
I saw you sittin’ with your momma drinkin’ Whiskey – using my credit card
I stepped right up and put you her down: This time you’ve just gone too far
She said: no fussin’, no fightin’, no feudin’, no gripin’
No cheatin’, mistreatin, no heavy drinkin’
You must be crazy – what’re you thinkin’?
She just won’t let me be
She just won’t let me be
She just won’t let me be
She just won’t let me be
Solo
I had to leave him on a Friday, I hit every bar in town
Brought a new boy home to meet my mama, she said: don’t you let my little girl down
Don’t want no fussin’, no fightin’, no feudin’, no gripin’
No cheatin’, mistreatin, no heavy drinkin’
I said: mama you must be crazy – what’re you thinkin’?
She just won’t let me be …

"Soul"
I took the job, it was something
A muted version of a life line
I kept checking I was good enough
While I passed the time
Then the music came and woke up my life
It was strong
It said "What do you want to say?"
Felt the sound of Stevie, Whitney, and Luther
Move in me
I'm going to sing it my way
My way
I'm not singing it if it doesn't have soul to me
I took her on, she was something
A stepping stone along the way
But I knew it wasn't good enough
So I couldn't stay
I met you and you woke up my life
We were strong
A lesson in what I need to be
Felt the sound of love
Keeping me grounded
Now, I feel it everyday
So, I say
I'm not singing it if it doesn't have soul to me
If I feel it, it's got soul
I'm not singing it if it doesn't have soul to me

"I Wouldn’t Wish (Your Lovin’ on My Worst Enemy)"
When I first met you I thought it was my lucky day
But now that I know you, I know I’ve got to run away
You got a mean streak, Baby, wider than a country mile
You smile like an angel but you bite like a crocodile
Chorus:
I wouldn’t wish your lovin’ on my worst enemy
There ain’t none so blind as a girl that just won’t see
I never knew what you were doin’ to me, but now I’m finally free
And I wouldn’t wish your lovin’ on my worst enemy
Go on, get lost, babe, I’m tired of lookin’ at your sorry hide
After all the lowdown, dirty, rotten, stupid, stinkin’ tricks you tried
You’re a sidewinder baby, you curl up before you bite
Now I got your number but I won’t be callin’ you tonight
CHORUS
You took my heart, chewed it up, spit it out, tore it apart
I shoulda known we were finished right from the start
I learned my lesson, learned it in a real hard way
Now I got you where I want you – really, really far away
CHORUS

"Nothing to Say"
I’m walkin’ with you, I’m feeling a little blue
I wanna make you love me but I don’t know what to do
Doot-doo-doo, doot-doo-doo, I’m just singin’
I wanna take you home but it’s too far away
I wanna take you out but I don’t have no money
Doot-doo-doo, doot-doo-doo, so I’m just singin’
I go: Doot-doo-doo, doot-doo-doo …
Life is short, what can I say?
Won’t you just look my way
We may have all the time in the world
But right now I want you to be my girl
You want me to wait but I’m wastin’ away
Got nothin’ to do, I got nothin’ to say
Doot-doo-doo, doot-doo-doo, … I’m just SINGING
Bass Solo
Bass & Voices: Doot-doo-doo, doot-doo-doo, …
I’m just singin’
Keys solo / Guitar solo
I wanna take you home but it’s too far away
I wanna take you out but I don’t have no money
Doot-doo-doo, doot-doo-doo, so I’m just singin’
Doot-doo-doo, doot-doo-doo …

"Tonight I'm Out Drinking"
He left on Friday, Saturday I was sinkin’
Sunday I cried, Monday I died, Tuesday buried me
Tonight I’m out drinkin’, oh, woe
So I’m sittin’ here and I’m thinkin’
On this stool, getting’ stinkin’
I drag my feets through the streets
Hit on every guy I meet
‘Cause tonight I’m out drinkin’, oh, woe
Why’d he have to leave me high and dry?
It hit me like a shot between the eyes
Goes to show that love can go awry
Keys Solo
Why’d he have to leave me high and dry?
It hit me like a shot between the eyes
Goes to show that love can go awry
My eyes are crossed, my ears are ringin’
Through the beers the tears are still stingin’
So fill my cup, it’s never enough
Gonna tipple till my bottom’s up
‘Cause tonight I’m out drinkin’, oh, woe …
Guitar Solo
