What The Hell Is This?

My goodness! Here I come again y'all, runnin' thru the city. I'm just checkin' my traps you know...
Everybody talkin' bout, if I wanna have some fun to go on down to the YMCA.
If I go anywhere it's gonna be the YWCA, you know, I might catch me somethin'...
I'm tellin' you it's rough! Listen...
VERSE 1
Findin’ a job, it ain’t easy
Especially one that ain’t greasy.
Got find one in a hurry,
My money’s gettin’ funny and it’s got me worried.
Got a good education,
But it seems I stay on vacation.
The economy’s low in our nation.
Someone tell me what the hell is this?
CHORUS
They got me runnin’ through the city
like a chicken with my neck off,
Tryin’ to find a job, get me somethin’ down.
The real nitty gritty, it’s a pity
What the heck ya’ll, everywhere I go
They just turn me down.
Not today is what they say, find a needle in the hay,
Promises, promises, they never stop.
You know it’s getting’ hard when you can’t find a job at
Jack-in-the-Box…Damn!
VERSE 2
Brother finally gotta job that paid off.
Three days later he got laid off.
It made him sick and he needed a doctor.
When his wife got the bill, it shocked her.
Someone tell me what the hell is this? (x 3)
SOLO
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Took my woman to the grocery store.
I ain’t gonna take her down there no more.
Price of groceries ya’ll done got so high.
I lean on the counter and I moan and I cry.
Someone tell me what the hell is this? (x 3)
VAMP
Lawd, lawd, lawd, lawd. Won’t you help me find a job.
What the heck, I’m deeper in debt.
Findin’ a job it’s so hard.
They got me down so low. I got to look up
To tie my shoes. My nose is scrapin’ on the floor.

See Saw
03:05
|

Sometimes you love me, like a good woman oughta...Sometimes you hurt me so bad, my tears run like water...You cuss me out, right before your friends...Then you kiss on me baby, when we're alone again...Your love is like a See Saw, goin' up, down, all around...Sometimes you tell me, I'm your sweet candy man...And then sometimes baby, I never know where I stand...You pick me up, when I'm on the ground...And as soon as I get up there, you send me tumblin' down...Chorus...When you kiss me and I like it, and I ask you to kiss me again...I reach for you but you jump clean outta sight...You change just like the wind, it ain't right!

Male Side

Now ladies, I gotta little something I wanna tell you right now, I hope it will help us at this particular point in time...please listen...Well they was talkin' 'bout us men back in the 90's, they said we need to take a feminine look... I've always been a friend to pretty women, I don't need to read that stuff in no damn book...You know I never like to hang out with the jock boys, but I could still kick their butts on the field...I found my own way to woo the ladies, they always knew my deal was real...You outta get in touch with my male side, I'll go at any pace you wanna go...What will it take to get you on this ride, If you don't show me, will never know...A woman is not so complicated, she go by feel, don't care about my rules...But when I stick my foot across that thin line, It's time for me to go back to school...But sometimes you girls will confuse me, say you don't want to, but maybe you do...I don't play no games with that stuff baby, my love is strong enough to see us through...Chorus...Well nature made us different for a reason, sometimes we just will not understand... Well sugar, let's focus on the pleasin', be my woman, you'll be glad that I'm your man. You know that I'll go easy with you baby, I know exactly what to do...Come on let's take this thang to the next step, all I need is one clear sign from you...

Three Time Loser
03:30
|
|||
I wonder how many teardrops gonna fall tonight
& how many heartaches can a man have in one life?
I lost a lover, I lost a friend
I'm through with love, and I just can't win
3-time loser, 3-time loser
I wonder how many hours for true love I will have to wait
I wonder how many heartaches for true love I will have to take
Lost love once, lost love twice
What kind of love is worth that price?
3-time loser, 3-time loser
1-2-3, in misery, a 3-time loser
Repeat 2nd verse
Lost my woman, lost my friend
I'm through with love, and I just can't win
3-time loser
...vamp and fade

Well, when I want to rock steady,
I know, I got to get ready,
Close my eyes, and I let myself go.
Listen to, oh, Baby, let the music flow,
CHORUS
Turn on your light and stay with me a while,
And ease your worried mind,
Turn on your light, now Babe.
And stay with me a while and rock steady.
Yeah, oh, now rock steady,
Yeah, rock, rock steady.
When my love gets a little bit too heavy,
She's mine and I got to get ready.
Close my eyes and let myself go,
I listen too, yeah, and I let the music flow.
Yeah, it's flowing now.

Luv Stuff
04:48
|
|||
Well they never pick me up baby, but you sure did...It was closin' time, the California Girl, she was stuck in that desert grid...Well we made a little magic, oh yeah, we sure passed a real good time...But my past was too fresh, and I ain't the overnight kind... I had to get back on my feet, I needed some air...You were so sweet, but I wasn't quite there..Well that luv stuff, it's so tough...Well I kept your number baby, but you did not do the same...I called you out of the blue...You called me another man's name...But you said come on up here Crawdaddy, and I will be a part of your plan...So I was off like a prom dress, I ran to you as fast as any man can. When I started to shake, you made me relax...It went down at the lake, but you brought it right back...Well that luv stuff is so tough...Well there's nothing so strong, as a love that's brand new...And when your old love has left you, you know the new one will really sting you...I've got all these feelings
baby, and you're the one who made me feel this way...And although it's time for me to go, you know I really rather would stay...I don't know what's a rebound, and what's the real thing...Got to see you again, see what love can bring...Well that luv stuff is so tough.

Let's go get stoned...Everybody...You know my baby, she won't let me in...I got a few pennies, I'm gonna buy myself a bottle of gin...And then I'm gonna call my buddy on the telephone and say, Let's go get stoned...I work so hard, on the job all day long...Everything I try to do, always seem to turn out wrong...That's why I wanna stop by, on my way home, and say, Lets go get stoned...Now let me tell you one more thing...It ain't no harm to have a little taste, but don't lose you cool, and start messin' up the man's place...It ain't no harm, just to take a little nip, but don't you fall down, You might bust your lip...Chorus

V1
When you're driving down the highway at night
And you're feelin' that Wild Turkey bite
Don't give Johnny Walker a ride
Cuz Jack Black is right by his side
You might get taken to the jailhouse and find
You've been arrested for drivin' while blind
V2
Just the other night with nothing to do
We broke a case of Proof 102
And started itchin' for that wonderful feel
Of rolling in an automobile
You could say we were out of our minds
Let me tell you brother we were flyin' while blind
Tell 'em like it T-I-is
GUITAR BREAKS
V3
Well they had us up against the wall
Hey it's only blood grain alcohol
There ain't no cause for alarm
We ain't out to do nobody no harm
How could anyone be so unkind
To arrest a man for driving while blind
OUTRO
Lookee here
Ahh take me home now
Thas right
Lemme run this red light
Mmm hmm
Run it down
Stop this messin' around

CHORUS
Na na na na, na na na na na na,
Na na na na, na na na na na na,
Na na na na, na na na na na na,
I’m 38, you’re 22.
I surely hope that combination will do.
I got 16 long years on you
But years mean nothin’ when I’m turnin’ blue.
A side of me was dead for so long.
Crazy Dick, I thought he was long gone.
You came along, reminded me,
I still got it, Wee JT.
CHORUS
She’s hangin’ out all the time with the stars.
They all want to get next to her in the bar.
But I just want for her to ride in my car.
But I must remember, her boyfriend’s not too far.
She’s part knock-out, and part cartoon.
One of her looks, can fly me to the moon.
If she wanted what I got it would not be too soon.
But in the meantime, I’m just stuck here in this tune. . .
BRIDGE GROOVE
She’s bodacious. Lord, she is fine.
I really dig her Daffy Duck mind.
I’m just a-hopin’ that one day she will find,
A clever little way to swing from my vine.
All the boys in the band will agree,
She is pure personality.
She’s bringin’ back my funktionality.
That little brickhouse, Wee JT.
That little brick shithouse, Wee JT
And the white girls say...
CHORUS
