Richards-Jordan

No time for weepin' baby, no tears need flow
Let no one tell you how you should grow, yeah.

Stretched to the limit honey, locked in the hole
Hung out to dry, still on a roll.

Ready, willing, able and big enough.

Run in the front door, run out the back
Wall in your face and a gun in your back.

No time for weepin' baby, no need for tears
Let no one tell you honey, how you should grow.

Big enough, big enough yeah
Big, big enough, yeah yeah
Big enough.

Ready, willing, able and big enough
Ready, willing, able and big enough.

. . .


Richards-Jordan

Giving up lovin', easy to do
People so pitiful they never come through
Honey, honey, honey, I ain't that way
(You want a little bit) once in a while, come on and get a bit
You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah) you shouldn't take it (yeah)
You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah).

Take a look around you, tell me, what do you see ?
People with little bits try, tryin' to smile
Most of what you've gotten is free (yeah)
(Yeah) you shouldn't take it so hard (yeah).

You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah) you shouldn't take it so hard (yeah)
You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah).

Yank it up baby or go get yourself a new name
You want a little bit once in a while, yeah you got a taste for it
You shouldn't take it (yeah) you shouldn't take it so hard (yeah)
(Yeah).

You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah)
You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah)
You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah)
You shouldn't take it so hard (yeah)
...

Richards-Jordan

Well it's a struggle, baby it's a struggle, yeah yeah
If it's a struggle between love and hate, baby's gonna have to wait
Yeah yeah huh yeah, ooh yeah struggle.

I'm in the middle, you're not the only one
You're not the only one, you're not the only one.

It's a struggle, it's a struggle, baby, baby, baby, yeah
Well it's a struggle to make ends meet honey
Under pressure to express yourself
Then admit it, don't deny yourself, yeah yeah.

Hard to fight, struggle, struggle.

You and me should never feel neglected
Overlooked, overworked, overhooked, yeah.

Doing as you're told, hell on hold
Through the night, without a fight
You gotta face the day.

If you struggle baby, it only tightens up, yeah yeah
Uh yeah.

. . .


Richards-Jordan

Well hung, friend of mine, he's size 8, I'm size 9
Shucks my dear, I'm gonna get a lick from you
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember that I could have
Yes I could have, uh yes I could have
I could have stood you up but I did, did, didn't, yeah yeah.

Short fuse, lights blew out, power came back, hear them shout
Shucks my dear, gotta get a lick from you
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember that I could have
Yes I could have, baby but I could have
I could have stood you up but I did, did, didn't yeah yeah yeah.

My shoes, walk down the street, only trouble is they ain't on my feet
Dig them kicks, they belong to me
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember that I could have
Baby could have, yeah I could have
I could have stood you up but I did, did, didn't, didn't yeah.

Rip it up, rip it down, change the shape of the whole damn town
Shucks my dear, I'm gonna get a lick from you
One thing, one thing too, one thing to remember that I could have
Yes I could have, yeah but I could have
I could have stood you up but I did, did, did, did, did, did, did.

I could have stood you up but I did, did, did.

Richards-Jordan

Make no mistake about it mm, but things ain't what they seem
I'm gonna scream and shout it, this is just a dream.

A simple conversation, every now and then
A touchy situation yeah, fascinates a man.

(What shall I do, if I should see you)
(And have to pretend that we have never met ?)

It's not a cheap sensation when you touch me with your hand
A little complication but it can hypnotize a man.

How we gonna hide it ? This thing with you and me yeah
Everyone can tell by now, I just can't lie, you see.

(What shall I say to hide it ?) to hide it baby
(No words can convey your lips melting into mine).

(No mistake, no mistake) make no mistake baby (make no mistake)
(Make no mistake) about it (no mistake) mmm (make no mistake) mmm c'mon.

Make no mistake about it, I'm gonna make you mine
No need to talk it over, we're running out of time.

(I've made up my mind about you, oh)
(I know in my heart that you have the same point of view).

(No mistake) this is it (no mistake, make no mistake) mistake
(Make no mistake) oooh (no mistake) make no mistake baby (make no mistake) oh baby
Oh yeah (Make no mistake) make no mistake (make no mistake) ...

. . .


You made the wrong motion
Drank the wrong potion
You lost the feeling
Not so appealing

Why do you think you got no friends
You drove them all around the bend

Oh yeah
You don't move me anymore

Now you wanna throw the dice
You already crapped out twice

Oh yeah, Oh yeah
You just don't move me anymore

One face so seamy
The other don't see me
It's better that you kill the light
You're giving us all a fright

Oh yeah
You don't move me anymore

How you gonna keep your wealth
Can't even defend yourself

Ah yeah
Oh no
You just don't move me anymore

What makes you so greedy
Makes you so seedy
No matter how you flip that dime
On our side is time
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

It's no longer funny
It's bigger than money

You just don't move me anymore

. . .


Richards-Jordan

How I wish that you were here again
How I wish that you were here again
Uh if I could see you and touch you with my hand
If I could feel you, but I know damn well I can't.

How I wish that you were here again
How I wish I had you near again
If I could see you, oh just now and then
Oh if I could feel you but, I'd do my time again.

(Oh honey, honey, honey, yeah)

If I could kiss you, caress you now and then
Ooh just to thrill you, I'd do life again, yeah.

(Oh honey, honey, honey, yeah)

How I wish that you were here again
(Oh honey, honey, honey, yeah)
How I wish that you were here again
(Oh honey, honey, honey, yeah)
(Oh honey, honey, honey, yeah)
(Oh honey, honey, honey, yeah)

. . .


Richards-Jordan

(Oh rockawhile, rockawhile, rockawhile, ....)

Baby won't you stay with me rockawhile ? Baby stay yeah
I don't need to lie, you can believe it or leave it
Baby won't you stay with me and rockawhile ? Hold your breath babe
Close the shop, close the shop, yeah (rockawhile).

[ ...................... ]

Yeah baby come up here and rockawhile (stay with me) c'mon, yeah yeah
(Tell me what you want now)
I don't need to lie to you ( stay with me yeah) baby, baby, stay with me and rockawhile
(Rockawhile) yeah yeah
It's no cheap shot there, baby's just a square (rockawhile) yes she is.

[ ...................... ]

Come over, just rockawhile, have to rock in style
No strings attached, just me and rockawhile, just you
C'mon now baby stay with me, stay with me ...

. . .


Richards-Jordan

Whip (whip it up)
Whip (whip it up).

Don't know what you dream at night honey
Close your eyes and see, leave the rest to me
I'll be stealin' in if you give me half a chance
C'mon baby, let's get this dream to dance.

(Whip it up)
C'mon whip (whip it up) whip it up, whip it up.

Well it seems so sad to me, the way we carry on
Why, why baby can't we get along ?
I ain't deceivin' you and if you ain't deceivin' me
Then someone else has lied to us, yeah don't deny it.

Save it for another day, don't save it for me yeah
If I ain't good enough (for you) then maybe you ain't good enough
Good enough, good enough for me.

Whip it up baby, just a flick of the wrist
Twist of the mind, whip it up, whip it up, whip, whip it up ...

. . .


Richards-Jordan

She swears that I'm the only one, what about yesterday
Oh I'd like to believe, somehow I still suspect (locked away)
She ought to be (locked away)
She ought to be locked away.

My mind is racing, footsteps lead me to jealousy
I'm losing my grip, I can't trust the way I feel (locked away)
I ought to be (locked away)
Throw that old key away.

My friends say that your friends say
Uh that I ain't worth your time
I know what you must hear
Don't let it interfere (locked away)
Ought to be (locked away)
They ought to be (locked away, locked away).

We can do anything, any trick in the book
We can go anywhere as long as we get (locked away)
Ought to be (locked away)
You and me (locked away, locked away)
We ought to be locked away (locked away, locked away, locked away).

(Locked away, we ought to be locked away).

. . .


Richards-Jordan

Tell by her movement, a flick of herhand
You know where you stand
What does it mean ? it means a lot, ah huh, oh yeah
What does it mean ? Tell me.

Tell from a distance, tell from a glance (it means a lot)
Tell by the way she dance (it means a lot)
(It means a lot) Call it love, takes two (it means a lot)
What does it mean ? (it means a lot) takes two.

If she is shy if she should blush (it means a lot)
It should tell you enough (it means a lot)
We'll call it love (it means a lot) takes two baby (it means a lot)
Oh what does it do for you ? Does the same thing for me
Trial by jury, trial by judge, get this thing out of court, let's call it love.

What does it mean ? (it means a lot).

Call it affection, we call it love (it means a lot)
Heaven's above (it means a lot) ooh cool it (it means a lot)
It means a lot (it means a lot).

Ain't no illusion
Little lie, it means a lot ...

(It means a lot, it means a lot ....)

Don't get too excited baby before the facts.
