Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave White lightening, bound to drive you wild Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl Love me tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Every word of every song that he sang was for you In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could you do? Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please |

Hard to get
Impossible to hold Straight as an arrow Like a burnin' fuse In the long cold dawn, By the side of the road, A hopeless case, A perfect thing Love is ... what you want it to be Love is ... heaven to the lonely Show me what you want me to do Cause love is what I've got for you Close my eyes Search the stars Cry for help Wake up cold You're in my system Under my skin Raw emotion Please don't go Love is .... What you want it to be Love is .... Heaven to the lonely Show me what you want me to do Cause love is what I've got for you Can't live on promises Won't sleep with lies Don't understand the things you say Til I read 'em in your eyes Gotta run on instinct, gotta go by feel Gotta trust my senses to know if it's for real Love is ... what you want it to be Love is ... heaven to the lonely Show me what you want me to do Cause love is what i've got for you Love is... |

I wonder what would happen if I fell
Would you pick me up and be my wishing well If I shared my secrets would you promise not to tell I wonder what would happen if I fell I wonder what would happen if I smiled Would you be the mystery in my eyes I'll consent to marry you if you never lie And I wonder what would happen if I smiled Looking for a sign in the eyes of love Waiting for an answer from the stars above Would you be my story when there's nothing left to tell I wonder what would happen if I fell Would you be the rockinghorse I ride If I showed no fear and held you like a child Running through the darkness till there's morning in the sky Would you be the rockinghorse I ride Then I ride, ride, you can be my rockinghorse, so giddy-up I said ride ride, ride ride, I said ride ride |

Little tramp comin' up the strip with a hundred dollar smile
Sparks flyin' off her fingertips, drive the young cop wild Some nights are wound so tight like a storm about to break Better stand in your doorway when everything starts to shake You get restless like a cat waking up at midnight, Hungry, never quite satisfied Chorus: This is our world and these are our times This is our world and these are our times Little brother like a street god with a drop dead attitude Say he's looking like a shadow now, runnin' low on green and food Some lives are wound up tight like a wave about to crash Hard times seem to multiply while the joy runs out so fast You get restless like a kid crawling out of a bad dream Hungry, never quite satisfied chorus repeats 2x (Solo) Make way for the son of a rebel wired to a bottle of flame He's got two black eyes and a purple heart and a bone hangin' on a chain These times are like dynamite, a head-on with history Some fool's bound to burn it all down, don't care about you and me He'll get desperate like a child in the eye of a nightmare Hungry, never quite satisfied chorus repeats 2x... |

Sonny say you will, take me strolling with you out on the boardwalk
'Cause you know you always make me feel Like we are lovers on parade with your sweet talk You look so cool but I know that you care The way you run your fingers through my hair You make me feel like I'm a star on your sleeve The way you hold me it's so wild and sweet And Sonny say we will, go walking down by the ocean 'Cause the night can get so still, and lovers they can get the notion The street is crazy with the summer heat Lost souls collide and try to land on their feet You make me feel like I'm no ordinary girl Why don't we walk out of this every day world And Sonny say we will, spend the night all alone together This is some kinda wonderful, Sonny let it last forever Oh Sonny say you will, Sonny let it last forever and ever and ever Sonny say you will, I know you will I know you will |
