(Makin' it) makin' it, doesn't matter how many
(Takin' it) takin' it
Well I can't shake it off of my back, damn monkey
It's either too tight or it's too slack.

That's all it is, ninety nine
How much, yeah
Now, ninety nine
You better hack it baby.

Yeah my time exploded, space blew up
Need something in my dixie cup
Oh let me get it right
There's the best pair of lips I've kissed all night, yeah.

How much, well give it to me
I'll pay you later, ninety nine
I got a pocket calculator
Yeah wake up, it don't make sense
Nickles and dimes, ninety nine.

Yes the lion and the lamb are locked in an embrace
You won't get it till it's in your face
Oh I got me out of deeper red
Don't panic.

Ah it's where I want to be
Yeah, a useful member of society
I just need a little of that old money.

Gimme ninety nine, yeah
Well I can't shake it off of my back
God damn monkey
Yeah, it's too tight or it's too slack
Yeah some things never change
Price of bullets remains the same
Here we go, hand over fist, slap on the wrist
Umm, nine nine.

That's all I'm askin' for, how much ?
How much do you want to give ?
Just a little bit, nine
Yeah they operate, look at the state of my baby
Well, it cost 20 grand, pitfull.

Yeah, that's a nine
Put your money where your mouth is
Cough it up
Ooh nickels and dimes
Yeah ...

Richards-Jordan-Drayton

It's just as wicked as it seems
Just run out of dreams
Better of two evils, babe
It's one time too much
Baby, how can I say what's in my heart, what's in my heart ?
Come a long way, well since you beat it up (beat it up, beat it up).

As wicked as it seems yeah
(Why don't you get ?) get all over me ?
(Why don't you get ?) get all over me yeah ?
Just a two way street but now it goes one way
And now for me there's no way out (no way out) one time
(Why don't you get ?) get all over me ?

As wicked as it seems yeah
It's playtime but it's far too late
It's gonna too hard on (hard on, hard on it)
What you gonna give
(It's not enough) it's not enough for me
So I soften the blow, so the bruises don't show
I've got the expertise.

No broken necks, mm no broken hearts
Well we used your deck
All I did was play the cards (now the check)
Now I find (it's not enough) it's not enough for me
Now you want to give (is not enough) is not enough for me yeah.

As wicked as it seems yeah
(Why don't you get ?) get all over me ?
Yeah one time
(Why don't you get ?) get all over me ? (Why don't you get ?)
It's easy getting in
(Why don't you get ?) get all over me ?
But it's a hard way out babe
(Why don't you get ?) get all over me ? (Why don't you get ?)

. . .


Richards-Jordan

Eileen, won't you lean on me ?
This is no life living here without you
This is no way for me to get along yeah
Now that I know I'm no good without you
Eileen, Eileen.

Eileen, won't you lean on me, please ?
How much I had baby when I had you  ?
I'm destitute this way yeah
I'm doing time living here without you
Eileen (Eileen, Eileen) Eileen.

Eileen, I'm coming clean yeah
I guess no substitute will do yeah
What do I do, baby, to impress you ?
Now that I'm blown and thrown out the way, oooh ..

Eileen, ooh yeah (Eileen).

Eileen, you can lean on me
Baby I'm dead in a cruel world without you, yeah
Eileen, lean on me, lean on me
Eileen baby won't you lean on me ?

Lean on me, lean on me ...

. . .


Richards-Jordan-Wachtel

Now listen to me baby, I keep it on so low
And I whisper to you sister, now we're all alone
Take no notice of me baby like a dream
Gonna keep it quiet so I can hear you scream.

Words of wonder are the words I wanna hear
Words of wonder are the words I wanna hear.

I'm sticking to you baby until I arrive
And I'm half dead, a quarter alive
A little bit is missing, wonder where it's gone
Pay me no attention, I babble on and on.

Words, those words of wonder are the words I wanna hear
Yeah those words, the words of wonder, they are the words I wanna hear.

Dripping from your lips, yeah that's the way it goes
That's the way it comes, ya' know what I mean
Now that your talkin' to me baby
Still you say that I'm obscene.

Words, words of wonder, they are the words I wanna hear
Words, those words of wonder are the words I wanna hear.

Let me roll it over baby
Now I got to jam it up, make you weep and moan
Go around the back baby and make yourself known.

The words, these are words of wonder
These are the words you better learn
These are words, these words of wonder
These are words you ought to know.

You been talkin' to me sweetie.

You know I babble on and on
Ooh, I run away my tongue
(Giving thanks and praises)
(Low friends in high places)
I'm gonna whisper these words of wonder ...

. . .


Richards-Jordan-Wachtel

Yeah yeah, oh yeah
I hear you talking and me I'm walking
Oh let me make it clear, I'm outta here
You know it makes no sense to me
Yeah you get no fence around me
Oh yeah, yap yap, you're talkin' too much, mmm
Yes far too much.

Even in my sleep I hear you babe
It makes me weep when I'm awake.

Well I hear whispers around me, baby
I get the echoes come 'round the bluff
Mmm I get all my secrets back, mm it's quite a shock
Mmm yeah, yap yap, you know you talk too much
Yeah, yap yap yap, it's driving me down
Oh it ................................
Keep walking me over, over, over, over.

So what's your message babe ?
Come on, yes, talk to me.

.................. (over, over, over, over)
Well I hear you talking
It makes no sense to me
You see me walking, you get no fence around me
Oh yeah, yap yap, talk to me

. . .


Richards-Jordan-Drayton-Dash

I'm waitin' baby, between the lines
Believin' is deceivin'
Watch you move, brand new walk
Body talks in a word
Body talks, baby, yeah
You make me shiver, just a quiver
The way you shake, it's a good sign
My heart aches, yeah.

(Body talks) shimmy shimmy shake
It's not so hard baby, hard baby
It's the way you move
(Body talks) read your hips
You make me bite my lip
(Body talks) waitin' on the flinch
(So alive).

It's just a look and I read it like a book
It's nothing you said, it's something I read
It's the way you move
It's the way you move.

....

. . .


Richards-Jordan-Wachtel

I'm on my way, it's you I have turned to
How many days have I to love you ?

I got to say this is inside me yeah
I've got to have someone to guide me.

Hate it when you leave, hate it when you leave
Hate it when you're leaving me
Hate it when you leave, hate it when you leave, yeah yeah, yeah.

You're everywhere I go even though you're miles away
But I see, see your face everyday, oh and I love, I love it.

It's a hard game you play yeah.

Hate it when you leave, hate it when you leave
Hate it when you're leaving me
Oh hate it when you leave, hate it when you leave
Yeah I hate it when you're leavin' me
Hate it when you leave, hate it when you leave
Hate it when you're leaving me.

It's killing me, no arms around me, yeah
Living this way, so underhanded, yeah.

I gotta make you stay, I gonna habit.

Hate it when you leave, hate it when you leave
Hate it when you're leaving me
Hate it when you leave, hate it when you leave
Hate it when you're leavin' me
Hate it when you leave, hate it when you leave
Hate it when you're leaving me

Richards-Jordan

We scorch the earth for all it's worth
Last night, you in ecstasy
Now you don't remember me.

It's runnin' too deep
It's runnin' too deep for me.

The sirens and the curfews through the night
Everybody's locked up tight
What's going on ? It's been dark for much too long.

It's runnin' too deep
Runnin' too deep
You know it's runnin' too deep for me.

If heaven looses face, what will take its place ?

Runnin' too deep
You're runnin' too deep for me.

We've torn the treasure from the land
Watched it turn to ashes in our hands
We scorch the earth for all it's worth
Last night, you in ecstasy
Now you don't remember me.

Runnin' too deep
Runnin' too deep
Runnin' too deep for me.

. . .


Richards-Jordan

You will but you won't, you do but you don't
The more that you say, you don't do it anyway
You know that you don't.

Ooh you've got it in for me, you always did anyway
It's a sin to me, yeah.

Guilty or not, it's time that I got myself out of here, yeah
Caress me baby, slap me my face
Ooh don't hurt me baby.

You're big but you're bad, like something I had
Sensitive words they get on my nerves, it's driving me mad
You made a mess of my heart.

(Do what you won't, do what you don't)
(Do what you won't, do what you don't).

I need your hands running over me
I like the way that it feels, yeah yeah
Without a sound, hey baby help.

I need your hands running over me
I like the way that it feels
I need your hands running over me
I like the way that it feels.

You will but you won't, hu you do but you don't
Yeah you go yes and it's no
I don't till I know where and which way to go
Put a gun to me and to the way that I feel.

I'm gonna get out of the way
Can't you hear what I, hear what I say yeah
I want to make up your mind
I want to rearrange it babe
You got me mind.

. . .


Richards-Jordan

I'm just letting you in, maybe you know
Let me tell you something
It's so painful to say
Which way to go, I don't know.

There's a demon in me, demon in me
Demon in me, yeah I can't live without it.

Every river must flow, shine the light
And I want you to stay but I'm forcing you out
Ooh baby baby, I've to express it (it's such a mess).

Demon in me, demon in me
It's a demon in me, demon in me, yeah yeah.

Between you and me
There's a demon in me
It's a demon in me
...

Oh I'm warning you up 'cause you slide on my mind
Hammers on my heart, yeah yeah
Which way to go, I don't know.

It's livin' in me, the demon in me
(Demon in me, demon in me ...)
