Ray Sawyer

I've got a couple more years on you, babe,that's all.
I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall.
And it ain't that I'm wiser - it's only that I've spent
more time with my back to the wall.
And I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby, that's all.
I've walked a couple more roads than you, baby ,that's all.
And I'm tired of runnin' while you're only learning to crawl.
And you're headin somewhere , but I've been to somewhere
and found it was nowhere at all.
And I've picked up a couple of years on you baby , that's all.
Now sayin' goodbye, girl don't never come easy at all.
But you've got to fly 'cuz you're hearin' those young eagles call.
And someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and tall.
And you'll say I've got a couple more years on you, baby - that's all.

When your body's had enough of me
And I'm layin flat out on the floor
When you think I've loved you all I can
I'm gonna love you a little bit more
Come on over here and lay by my side
I've got to be touchin you
Let me rub your tired shoulders
The way I used to do
Look into my eyes and give me that smile
The one that always turns me on
And let me take your hair down
Cause we're stayin up to greet the sun.....
And when your body's had enough of me
And I'm layin flat out on the floor
When you think I've loved you all I can
I'm gonna love you a little bit more

And you know where my mind has been
I guess I learned my lessons

(Shel Silverstein)

(Hey play the guitars)
(I love to hear the guitars play)
(Oh I love to sing, I love to sing)

She was dancing when I seen her, in a Mexican cantina
In a neighbourhood they call La Zona Roja (hahahaha)
She had a child's smile, but she told me, in a while
It would take a lot of gold to get to know her (Oh)

Acapulco Goldie, donde did you go
You said you'd always hold me
But you run away with me Acapulco gold

(Oh that's a terrible thing you did)

I knew there's no-one cuter, then she said she was a puta
I said "What does puta mean?" Hmm and so she told me... (Oh no)
Then we went to meet a dealer, we smoked and drank tequila
Then the lights went out and I guess that's where she rolled me (just like)



Acapulco Goldie, por que did you go?
You said you'd always hold me
But you vamos away with me Acapulco gold
Yes, you run away with me Acapulco gold

(Oh Goldie)
(How can you do these things to me?)
(Where's my gun?)
(Who took my gun?)
(On no, I don't feel good)
(I don't feel good babe)
(Start the guitars)
(Start the guitars)

Lay down let's explore this tenderness between us
there ain't no one around at all to see us
and baby would you mind if maybe you and I
took a little time to find each other.
Baby we got all the time in the world
so why don't we just take it nice and slow
we got everything we need to plant a loving seed
and all the time we need to watch it grow.
Stay down, stay at least until the fire stops burning
at least until the room has stopped it's turning
and when the embers dying low we're lying in the afterglow
it'll be as sweet as anything we've known.

[Chorus]
Thank the good Lord for rock and roll, thank the good Lord for gin
Thank the good Lord that women are made to satisfy their men
Thank the good Lord for Black and Red and our good buddy Will
Thank the good Lord most of all for good old Bad Eye Bill

Bad Eye Bill from Mary Ville, got a yellow dog named Black
A blond haired wife called Red, that runs around behind Bill's back
Bad Eye Bill and his buddy Will are known to take a drink or ten
Will would pick up an old guitar and Bad Eye Bill will sing

[Chorus]

Bad Eye Bill got locked in jail 'bout a week or so ago
Swore to the jailer and the preacher that the good Lord had saved his soul
Bill went home found Black and Red in bed with his buddy Will
He shot 'em all and he started singin' and he's still singin' in jail

[Chorus: x2]

I'm your friend, you can talk to me
I read your face, I see misery
So the one you love has left you dry
Don't start believing that you're gonna die
Just pick your heart up off the floor
And try, try again.....
You'll find better love next time, baby
Don't give up and I know you're gonna find
Better love next time, baby
Someone will be waiting down the line
With better love, better love, better love, better love next time
Sometimes it's better to let it all go
I've been there and I think I should know
So have a good cry, wash out your heart
If you keep it inside it'll tear you apart
Sometimes you lose but you're gonna win
If you just, if you just keep hanging in
Better love next time, baby
Don't give up and I know you're gonna find
Better love next time, baby
Someone will be waiting down the line
With better love, better love.....
Better love next time, baby
Don't give up and I know you're gonna find
Better love next time, baby
Someone will be waiting down the line
With better love, better love.....
Better love next time, baby
Don't give up.....

We have short time to stay
Our night is slipping far away
Caught up within bad memories
Our growth seems certain to decay

Now this feeling's so alive
But, as you or anything, we die
We die

Let's stay here for a while
Eyes so round and bright we gently smile
Live for the moment, not the past
Why do we always fall so fast?

Clyde played electric bass
Played it with finesse and grace
Sat on the porch ain't got no shoes
Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues

Misery loves company
That ol' dog sings harmony
Tambourine tied to his tail
You can hear him howl, you can hear him wail

c'mon Clyde
Clyde played electric bass, Clyde played electric bass
Clyde played electric bass, electric bass
Electric bass
c'mon Clyde, c'mon Clyde

Pickin' the bass 'n' singin' the blues
Singin' the blues, singin' the blues, singin' the blues

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh Yeah

Geordie girl she got the dollar
Down the road you can hear her holler
c'mon Clyde there's things that need doin'
Clyde keeps pickin' and singin' the blues

He don't care

Clyde played electric bass
Played it with finesse and grace
Sat on the porch ain't got no shoes
Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues

c'mon Clyde, c'mon Clyde, c'mon Clyde
c'mon Clyde, c'mon Clyde, c'mon Clyde

Dooley Jones was doomed since the day that he was born
All because his mama was Sadie Jones
Cruel words upon him ever since he was young
You ain't got no daddy boy you ain't no man's son

Children heard the facts at home
Talked them up in school
Teased him 'til his mind was bent and bruised
(you ain't got no daddy Dooley Jones)

Weight upon his shoulder
A thorn stuck in his soul
His body walks and talks
But his mind has no control

Dooley Jones, Dooley Jones
You're no man's son, you're no mans child
Spring time satisfaction
This infants heart is wild

Dooley walks the highways
Every day for miles
Babbling to birds flying by
(Babbling to the birds as they fly by)

Somewhere some man hides his eyes
'Cause Dooley is his child
Son of seasons pleasure
Forever runnin' wild

Dooley Jones, Dooley Jones
You're no man's son, you're no man's child
Spring time satisfaction
This infants heart is wild

Dooley Jones, Dooley Jones
You're no man's son, you're no man's child
Spring time satisfaction
This infants heart is wild

Forever runnin' wild
Oh Dooley
Forever runnin' wild
Spring time satisfaction
Ever runnin' wild
Forever runnin' wild
Ever runnin' wild
Forever runnin' wild

Dooley Jones was doomed since the day that he was born
All because his mama was Sadie Jones
Cruel words upon him ever since he was young
You ain't got no daddy boy you ain't no man's son

Children heard the facts at home
Talked them up in school
Teased him 'til his mind was bent and bruised
(you ain't got no daddy Dooley Jones)

Weight upon his shoulder
A thorn stuck in his soul
His body walks and talks
But his mind has no control

Dooley Jones, Dooley Jones
You're no man's son, you're no mans child
Spring time satisfaction
This infants heart is wild

Dooley walks the highways
Every day for miles
Babbling to birds flying by
(Babbling to the birds as they fly by)

Somewhere some man hides his eyes
'Cause Dooley is his child
Son of seasons pleasure
Forever runnin' wild

Dooley Jones, Dooley Jones
You're no man's son, you're no man's child

Everybody must be on drugs, in this town
Or maybe there's a strange new bug that's been going round
'Cause people are all smiling and waving as I go by
Everybody loves me but I don't know why

It used to be a kind face was a rarity
But now I got friends coming out both ends just to visit me
But it don't make sense 'cause my confidence has been destroyed
Everybody loves me but I'm paranoid

What ever happened to the cold cruel world I used to understand
When every road was paved with wet cement
Back when if I was hanging off a cliff you'd be walking on my hands
Somebody please tell me where all the good times went whooo

Every time I needed something, no-one'd ever give me nothing, it'd never fail
I had to sit right down and write myself a letter just to get mail
But now my ears are singing from the damn ding-a-linging of the telephone
Everybody loves me but I'm comin' home

What ever happened to the cold cruel world I used to understand
When every road was paved with wet cement
Back when if I was hanging off a cliff you'd be dancin' on my hands
Somebody please tell me where all the good times went whooo

Every time I needed something, no-one'd ever give me nothing, it'd never fail
I had to sit right down and write myself a letter just to get mail
But now my ears are singing from the damn ding-a-linging of the telephone
Everybody loves me but I'm comin' home

Elvis, he's a hero, he's a superstar
And I hear that Paul McCartney drives a Rolls Royce car
And Dillon sings for millions and I just sing for free
Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me
Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me (everybody's makin' it)
Everybody's makin' it big but me (everybody's makin' it)
Neil Diamond sings for diamonds and here's ol' rhinestone me
Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me
Well I hear that Alice Cooper's got a foxy chick
To wipe off his snake and keep him rich
And Elton John's got two fine ladies and Doctor John's got three
And I'm still seein' them same ol' sleezos that I used to see
Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me (everybody's makin' it)
Yeah, everybody's makin' it big but me (everybody's makin' it)
Oh I've got charisma and personality
Oh how come everybody's makin' it big but me
Wha-what's wrong with that
I haven't seen nothin' wrong with it Rick
Well I paint my face with glitter just like Huey does
And I wear the same mascara that Mick Jagger does
And I even put some lipstick on, that just hurt my dad and mum
Everybody's makin' it big but me
Oh, everybody's makin' big but me
(Everybody's makin' it, everybody's makin' it, everybody's makin' it bi-ig)
Yeah, everybody's makin' it big but me
(Everybody's makin' it, everybody's makin' it, everybody's makin' it bi-ig)
They got groupies for their bands and all I've got is my right hand
And everybody's makin' it big but me
Everybody's makin' it, makin' it, makin' it, everybody's makin' it bi-ig
Everybody's makin'

(Shel Silverstein)

Some men need some killer weed, some men need cocaine
Some men need some cactus juice, to purify the brain
Some men need two women, some need alcohol
Everybody needs a little something, but Lord I need it all

To get my rocks off, get my rocks off
Get my rocks off the mountain, and roll 'em on down the hill

I may do you one time, and I may do you more
I may turn you into something, that you ain't ready for
I might want your body, and I might want your bread
I might want your momma to come visit me instead

And get my rocks off, get my rocks off
Get my rocks off the mountain, and roll 'em on down the hill



Sometimes I dream of chicks, to bring me ever lasting joys
Sometimes I dream of animals, sometimes I dream of boys
Sometimes I kill the living, sometimes I raise the dead
Sometimes I say just screw it all, and crawl back into bed

And get my rocks off, get my rocks off
Get my rocks off the mountain, and roll 'em on down the hill

I don't feel much like smilin' today
If nobody minds, I'm gonna let my mind slip away
'Cause I don't feel much like feelin' your way
All my dollar bills are turning into nickels and dimes
If things got worse I couldn't get more behind
So it don't matter anyway

It's one of them old days, you know the kind
It feels like my neck's hung on a clothes line
And someone's hanging me out to dry
And I don't feel much like smilin' today
Ain't takin' no chances
Of givin' no answers away

I was feeling alright when I went to bed last night
I woke up at ten and when it began was ready to fight
I've been thinking about drinking about a pint and I just might
'Cause I don't feel much like smilin' today
If nobody minds, I'm gonna let my mind slip away
If nobody minds, I'm gonna let my mind slip away

I don't feel much like smilin' today
If nobody minds, I'm gonna let my mind slip away
'Cause I don't feel much like feelin' your way
All my dollar bills are turning into nickels and dimes
If things got worse I couldn't get more behind
So it don't matter anyway

It's one of them old days, you know the kind
It feels like my neck's hung on a clothes line
And someone's hanging me out to dry
And I don't feel much like smilin' today
Ain't takin' no chances
Of givin' no answers away

I was feeling alright when I went to bed last night
I woke up at ten and when it began was ready to fight
I've been thinking about drinking about a pint and I just might
'Cause I don't feel much like smilin' today
If nobody minds, I'm gonna let my mind slip away
If nobody minds, I'm gonna let my mind slip away

To think that I'm the kind of guy
Whoever could have kept her
Would be taking too much credit on myself
And seeing us together you just knew that she'd look better with somebody else

And now she's gone, no-one's surprised least of all not me
I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need
Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need
Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need

You knew that we had plans for San Francisco in September
But I didn't see California in her eyes
And by the end of summer, someone made a better offer
You know, I'm not surprised

And now she's gone, no-one's surprised least of all not me
I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need
Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need
Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need

Just a quick goodbye
Nobody's crying, no nobody's crying
I always knew that I was just a comfort
In her time of need

And now she's gone, no-one's surprised least of all not me
I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need
Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need
Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need

And now she's gone, no-one's surprised least of all not me
I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need
Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need
Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need

Who's gonna water my plants?
Who's gonna patch my pants?

I park on a side street
Slide up the back stairs
Knock on the door and whisper "It's me".
Step into the darkness

She waits in the shadows
Oh she's so wild
Willing and free.

I must be crazy comin' up here again.
She's got me comin' and goin' eatin' out of her hand.
I should be far
Far away
But I'm layin' in her bed instead

And I'm in
In over my head
In over my head.
Yes
I'm in

In over my head
In over my head.
I've never tasted lips any hotter
And I'm gettin' deeper with every kiss.
I can't help it
I want it
I love how she loves it

I've got to keep comin' for more of this.
I must be crazy...

I park on a side street

She's got me comin' and goin' eatin' out of her hand.

The tiger, he looked out of his cage and smiled
He said come here boy, I want to talk to you a while
He said I once was running wild and free just the same as you
But it's one step from the jungle to the zoo

Its one step from the jungle to the zoo
You better watch out or they're gonna get you too
They'll clip your claws, cut your hair, make a pussy cat out of you
Its one step from the jungle to the zoo

He said son when you go running through the grass
You bet look out for all the hidden traps
They'll feed you sweets and goodies 'til you're too fat to move
Then its one step from the jungle to the zoo

Its one step from the jungle to the zoo
You better watch out or they're gonna get you too


They'll clip your claws, yank your fangs, make a pussy cat out of you
Its one step from the jungle to the zoo

Only one step from the jungle to the zoo
You better watch out or they're gonna get you too
They'll clip your claws, cut your hair, make a pussy cat out of you
Its one step from the jungle to the zoo

Only one step from the jungle to the zoo
You better watch out or they're gonna get you too.....

Knowing she's there makes it possible to live
Knowing she's there giving all she's got to give
And when the road got long and the load got heavier
She'd whisper babe I'm in love with ya
And made it easier to bear knowing she's there

Knowing she's there when I reach out in my sleep
Knowing she's there to hold me when I'm weak
And when the nights got cold and the days got drearier
She'd whisper babe I'm right here with ya
And made it easier to bear knowing she's there

Why did it make me take the lady's love for granted
How could it live so deep in a woman and never notice a change
Why doesn't any love ever go the way you planned it
And why doesn't any woman ever stay the same

Now knowing she's there instead of being here with me
Just knowing she's there giving him what she gave me
And it ain't that I can't live without it
But every time I think about it

Something inside me screams
Something inside me burns
I feel something inside me tear
Knowing she's there

Knowing she's there
Knowing she's there
Knowing she's there

Knowing she's there makes it possible to live
Knowing she's there giving all she's got to give
And when the road got long and the load got heavier
She'd whisper babe I'm in love with ya
And made it easier to bear knowing she's there

Knowing she's there when I reach out in my sleep
Knowing she's there to hold me when I'm weak
And when the nights got cold and the days got drearier
She'd whisper babe I'm right here with ya
And made it easier to bear knowing she's there

Why did it make me take the lady's love for granted
How could it live so deep in a woman and never notice a change
Why doesn't any love ever go the way you planned it
And why doesn't any woman ever stay the same

Now knowing she's there instead of being here with me
Just knowing she's there giving him what she gave me
And it ain't that I can't live without it
But every time I think about it

Something inside me screams
Something inside me burns
I feel something inside me tear
Knowing she's there

Knowing she's there
Knowing she's there
Knowing she's there

Just a little ol' boy about twelve years old, working on my daddy's farm
Gotta help him build an ol' chicken coop, gotta help him paint the barn
I was carryin' a load 'bout twice my size, not quite enough to brag
Papa just smiled and looked at me and said "Son let the loose end drag"

Son let the loose end drag
Son let the loose end drag
Papa just smiled and looked at me and said
Son let the loose end drag

When I got to be a man I started makin' plans to get me all the love that I can
I was sitting in a bar getting pretty far with a honey on my right hand
When up stepped a stud he was looking for blood 'cause the lady didn't come in stag
When you're caught in the middle you can bet your life that it'll be "Honey let the loose end drag"

Honey let the loose end drag
Honey let the loose end drag
When you're caught in the middle you can bet your life that it'll be
Honey let the loose end drag

Now my life is almost done every day I tell my son, the words my daddy handed down to me
You gotta hang on very tight to the things you know are right, let the fly-by-night things be
When the Devil calls your name and he says he won the game, and you know there ain't no turning back
When he says you're gonna die, you just spit right in his eye, and don't let the loose end drag

I ain't gonna let the loose end drag
I ain't gonna let the loose end drag
When he says you're gonna die, you just spit right in his eye, and don't let the loose end drag
I ain't gonna let the loose end drag

Eyes bright in the midnight moon
Lock up the boys, tie down the girls
Love monster's on the loose again
Teeth flash, a blinding grin

Hot dreams in the midnight hour
Girls in the window beg please come in
Body hard, muscles strain
Love monster's on the loose again

All his lovers remember his hands
Driving them crazy like a Superman
For some it was enough, for some his teeth
And some just quiver and faint at the memory
From New York City to Hollywood
From Tokyo to New Orleans

Jungle drums had beat it out

Love monster's on the loose again
Driving them crazy like a Superman
All his lovers remember his hands
For some it was enough, for some his teeth
From New York City to Hollywood
And some just quiver and faint at the memory

From Tokyo to New Orleans
Jungle drums had beat it out
Love monster's on the loose again

Hot dreams in the midnight hour
Girls in the window beg please come in
Body hard, muscles strain
All his lovers remember his hands
Love monster's on the loose again
Driving them crazy like a Superman
For some it was enough, for some his teeth

And some just quiver and faint at the memory

Some just quiver and faint at the memory
Some just quiver and faint at the memory

I don't need to see you on a television screen
I don't wanna see your face on Time magazine
I know that you are finer than any movie queen
I wanna see you face on the pillow next to me

I don't care that you ain't been to all the finest schools
It's alright by me if you forget the golden rules
'Cause you got that body and you know how to use it
and I got my guitar so I can make my music

Makin' love and music, makin' love and music
Makin' love and music, makin' love and music
Makin' love, makin' love, makin' love, makin' love

You don't need to think that you need fortune or fame
I get so excited when you whisper my name
Your sweet love is all it takes to make my fire burn
All it takes is music to make my world turn turn

Turn on my guitar, that'll turn me on
Keep the music playing and let the feeling come
You'll be the woman and I'll be the man
And we'll make love and music any time we can

Makin' love and music, makin' love and music
Makin' love and music, makin' love and music
Makin' love, makin' love, makin' love, makin' love

Makin' love and music, makin' love and music
Makin' love and music, makin' love and music
Makin' love, makin' love, makin' love, makin' love

(Shel Silverstein)

I guess the dance is over now
So you just curtsey and I'll bow
And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne

Then I'll just take what's left of me
Right back to where it used to be
And you'll go sail your magic carpet, far across the sky

I wish I could have made it
More like the movies for you
Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been
I'm sorry when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins
Did you girl?
No you never got to hear those violins, no

The castles that you built so high
Were just too steep for me to climb
And I guess these dirty streets of mine
Were just too rough for you

I wish I could've helped you see


Just one of your sweet childhood dreams
But though I tried I could not make not one of them come true

And I wish I could have made it
More like the movies for you
Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been
I'm sorry when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins
Did you girl?
No you never got to hear those violins

Oh I'm sorry when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins
No you never got to hear those violins

But though I tried I could not make not one of them come true

And I wish I could have made it
More like the movies for you
Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been
I'm sorry when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins
Did you girl?
No you never got to hear those violins

Oh I'm sorry when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins
No you never got to hear those violins

I guess the dance is over now
So you just curtsey and I'll bow
And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne

Then I'll just take what's left of me
Right back to where it used to be
And you'll go sail your magic carpet, far across the sky

I wish I could have made it
More like the movies for you
Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been
I'm sorry when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins
Did you girl?
No you never got to hear those violins, no

The castles that you built so high
Were just too steep for me to climb
And I guess these dirty streets of mine
Were just too rough for you

I wish I could've helped you see


Just one of your sweet childhood dreams
But though I tried I could not make not one of them come true

And I wish I could have made it
More like the movies for you
Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been
I'm sorry when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins
Did you girl?
No you never got to hear those violins

Oh I'm sorry when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins
No you never got to hear those violins

Mary, if you ever want me, I'll be right here
And Mary, this thing we got is too good to throw away
And Mary, I'm just the one to kiss away all your tears
So Mary, I'm gonna keep it right here and keep it warm every day

Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The one that's too high for you to climb
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The rock that you wanted was right here all the time
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The one that's too high for you to climb
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The rock that you wanted was right here all the time

Mary I know that somewhere, I'm in your mind
Mary there's a mountain rising high behind
And Mary you think you can climb it, go ahead and try
But Mary you go up laughing but you always come down crying


Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The one that's too high for you to climb
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The rock that you wanted was right here all the time
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The one that's too high for you to climb
The rock that you wanted was right here all the time

Oh Jesse, why have you come
I thought you would be kind enough to let me cry alone
Just now as I've learned to live without your love
You walked back into my life again
Oh let it die, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain
I suppose you've come to play a game
Come to deal the cards in a game I cannot win
But no matter how they fall the hearts are always in your hand
And I am forced to fold once again
Oh let it die, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain
Oh let it die, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain

Oh Jesse, why have you come
I thought you would be kind enough to let me cry alone
Just now as I've learned to live without your love
You walked back into my life again
Oh let it die, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain
I suppose you've come to play a game
Come to deal the cards in a game I cannot win
But no matter how they fall the hearts are always in your hand
And I am forced to fold once again
Oh let it die, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain
Oh let it die, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain

Oh Jesse, why have you come
I thought you would be kind enough to let me cry alone
Just now as I've learned to live without your love
You walked back into my life again
Oh let it die, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain
I suppose you've come to play a game
Come to deal the cards in a game I cannot win
But no matter how they fall the hearts are always in your hand
And I am forced to fold once again
Oh let it die, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain
Oh let it die, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
But I loved her so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
We'd laugh and we'd sing and do funny things
And it made our hearts glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
So why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere child of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
Ooh, with eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
So why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again

Penicillin Penny she's the queen of the sunset strip
If she ever gives you any then you better see your doctor real quick
From the back seat of Cadillac cars, to the floor of men's room bars
She's Penicillin Penny and her future's written in the stars

She's Penicillin Penny and ever since the day she came and came
They say she's had so many, she gives 'em all numbers not names
I always call her Hun' but she calls me 1001
And Penicillin Penny starts to boogie when the day is done



She's Penicillin Penny and if you ever see her passin' through
Better run into your house before she stops and lays a little on you
If you ever let her in your door it takes 20 million units
Or more to cure the love that Penicillin Penny's gonna lay on you
