Luck Of The Draw 1991

All At Once

Had a fight with my daughter
She flew off in a rage
Third time this week
Don't tell me it's the age
Don't know how i lost her
I only know that it's a shame
Ever since her daddy left
The girl ain't been the same.

Chorus
All at once i hear your voice
And time just slips away
Nothing they can say could hold me here
Take me where i only feel
The wind across my face
Let me know there's someplace left for me
Waiting just for me.
Ah, who am i kiddin'
I should have known he'd never leave
The time we spend together
Is harder than the time between
You wouldn't think it could hurt so
To see 'em out the other day
If that's what he calls leavin'
I guess i threw it all away.

Chorus
They say women, we're the stronger
Somehow we always make it through
Hell, that ain't how i feel right now
I don't even think it's true
Looks to me there's lots more broken
Than anyone can really see
Why the angels turn their backs on some
Is just a mystery to me.

Come To Me

All i ever wanted
Was a love to be true
More than just enough to get me by
I want a love to see me through

I don't need another well spent night
Another clever, sideways glance
I wanna look my baby in the eye
And know there's nothin' left to chance

So if you're tired of bein' lonely
Beat up and confused
Darlin' there is only
One thing you can do
Come to me
I'll be the one who's waiting
Come to me
I got what you need
Come to me
Won't be no hesitating
I know what you mean to me

I'm gonna hold out for the one i want
Ain't gonna settle for less
Cause the kind of love i'm lookin' for, baby
You can't fake, you can't finesse

I ain't lookin' for the kind of man, baby
Can't stand a little shaky ground
He'll give me fire and tenderness
And got the guts to stick around

So if you're tired of bein' lonely
Beat up and confused
Darlin' there is only
One thing you can do
Come to me
I'll be the one who's waiting
Come to me
I got what you need
Come to me
Won't be no hesitating
I know what you mean to me

Good Man, Good Woman

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Midnight, i'm wound up tight
Slowly comin' down in the daytime
I been lyin' low from work, hangin' over from the hurt from you babe
But i'm gonna suffer through the strain, till i get a
Better thing with you, darlin', me and you.

So far to see ahead
When i can't seem to drag myself out of bed
Gotta find me a good man, a good man, a good man.yeah.

You better stop, think about what you're saying
I was seriously dedicated, in the game of playin'
You made ten thousand promises you could'nt keep
I forgave you when you lied, pleaded and weeped
Put up with your disrespect and neglect
What an experience, i'll never forget.

Till now, everything i did was wrong. (i'm sorry, baby)
Today you're free, but we live alone.
Gotta find me a good woman...good woman...good woman...yeah.

It was twelve o'clock in the midnight hour
I heard the door slam, and then the shower
When i got up, you were already gone
I slipped and fell, from the water you left on.

Gotta find a good woman
Gotta find a good man
Gotta find a good woman
Gotta find a good man.

I Can't Make You Love Me

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me

Chorus: cause i can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and i'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'cause i can't make you love me, if you don't


I'll close my eyes, then i won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and i'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And i will give up this fight
Chorus: cause i can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and i'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'cause i can't make you love me, if you don't

Luck Of The Draw

You dust the bottles on the bar counter
You're writing screenplays on the side
Three nights a week can keep a girl workin
Sometimes it's good to lose your pride.

These things we do to keep the flame burnin
And write our fire in the sky
Another day to see the world turnin
Another avenue to try.

It's in the luck of the draw, baby
The natural law
Forget those movies you saw, little baby
It's in the luck of the draw, baby
The natural law
(flame keep on burnin)
Forget those movies you saw, little baby
(wheel ever turnin).

You turn around and say it's last orders
You fix the ribbon in your hair
Tomarrow's letter by the hall doorway
Could be the answer to your prayers.

No Business

Yes, i'm lonely- hope you didn't catch it
Don't want to be down where i last behaved
I broke his heart now i can't patch it
This time it's grave.

I kept track of all the love that i gave him
And on paper, well, it looked pretty good
He left a note that said he couldn't stay here
As if i could...

I guess my love's got no business, no business calling his name
I guess my love's got no business, nobody to blame.

One of these days i thought we'd get it together
After all that boy was made for me
But all he left me was a mouth full of feathers
Little bird got free.

He always said my love was one sided
I tried to keep up with supply and demand
But there was one way that pie was divided
It was a big piece plan.

I guess my love's got no business, no business calling his name
I guess my love's got no business, nobody to blame.

Well, now i'm getting desperate, baby, getting illeagal
I got the law doggies on my trail
The hawk's out and i could use an eagle
To go my bail.

You say you're itching baby, so go ahead and scratch it
But if it jumps off, don't look at me
You swore to god that i couldn't catch it
But your dog's got fleas.

I guess my love's got no business, no business calling his name
I guess my love's got no business, nobody to blame.

Not The Only One

I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction
Feelin' that i'd always be the lonely one
Then i saw your face, on the edge of my horizon
Whisperin' that i wasn't the only one
The lonely one

Once chance intervention, see what it can signify
The slightest misapprehension, baby
And we'd have passed each other by
When i heard your sweet voice callin'
Saw your light come shinin' through
I couldn't stop my heart from turning
Churnin' out my love for you, my love to you

I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction
Feelin' that i'd always be the lonely one
Then i saw you face, on the edge of my horizon
Whisperin' that i wasn't the only one
The lonely one

True love or perfection
It seems like it's overdue
Then just when you least expect it
It comes sneakin' up on you
When i thought that i was dreaming
Felt your body close to mine
Now love takes on a different meaning
Together till the end of time

I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction
Feelin' that i'd always be the lonely one
Then i saw you face, on the edge of my horizon
Whisperin' that i wasn't the only one
The lonely one

I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction
Feelin' that i'd always be the lonely one
When i saw your face through the web of my confusion
Whisperin' that i wasn't the only one
The lonely one

One Part Be My Lover

When he looks in her eyes
He sees only the truth
Telling him he's been living a lie
Over and over like a line in a song
About all the love he let pass him by.

To her he might be the man of her dreams
To find where she's been hiding inside
Broken or battered, it really don't matter
Her heart's like a wave and he's the tide.

They're not forever, they're just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away.

He's like a boxer who had to retire
After winning but killing a man
He's got all of the moves and none of the courage
Afraid to throw a punch that might land

Not too much later she can't meet his glance
You see her start pulling away
Over and over like fire and ice
One is color, one is grey.

They're not forever, they're just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away.

So if you know how
Why don't you say 'em a prayer
They're gonna need all the help they can get
They remember too much about what went wrong
It might be they should learn to forget.

Forget themselves in each other
And leave what belongs in the past
Carry their hearts like a newborn child
Cause it's only the moment that lasts.

They're not forever, they're just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away.

Papa Come Quick (jody And Chino)

Papa come quick, joy's gone to the city
What we gonna do now that jody's gone
She left a note on the tv and papa it's a pity
What we gonna do now that jody's gone.

Mama's been cryin in the kitchen since mornin
She cried right through as the world turns
I seen it myself and papa it's a bitch'n
Let's haul ass before the baby gets burned.

Gas up the old ford, get out the road map
They got a head start about half a day
Load up the shotgun, put it in the gunrack
Jody's with chico down in east l.a.

It must have been that wild-eyed, silver-toungued schemer
A girl like jody don't think for herself.
Him and that harley and his damn jalapena
Smokin that stuff'll make you hurt yourself.

Papa come quick
Papa come quick
Papa come quick
Papa come on

First verse
Gas up the old ford, get out the road map
They got a head start about half a day
Stop at the mobil, pump up the the flat wheel
Jody & chico and his ding dang deal.

Slow Ride

Feels like nothin happens fast enough
Well maybe i just want too much
But when something's wrong between us, baby
Nothin feels right.

I think it's time we cleared the air
Take a long drive far away somewhere
Tell me everything you feel inside
We got nothin but time.

Slide over, baby
Here by my side
I wanna take you on a slow ride
On a slow ride.

Your history shows on your face
Yeah, you've been hurt you've been betrayed
Now we can't change the past, but we can
Leave it behind.

We'll forget about tomarrow, baby
We'll just steal away into the night
And we'll just be two shadows, darlin'
In the dashboard light.

Slide over, baby
Here by my side
I wanna take you on a slow ride
On a slow ride.

Something To Talk About

Verse 1
People are talkin, talking 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under covers
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing, something we don't, darlin'

Chorus
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love?

Verse 2
I feel so foolish, i never noticed
You'd act so nervous, could you be falling for me?
It took a rumor to make me wonder
Now i'm convinced i'm going under
Thinking 'bout you every day
Dreaming 'bout you every night
Hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really show it, darlin'

Chorus

Bridge
Let's give them something to talk about
A little mystery to figure out
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?

Chorus
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?

Chorus

Tangled And Dark

Gonna get into it
Down where it's tangled and dark
Way on into it, baby
Down where your fears are parked.
Gonna tell the truth about it,
Honey that's the hardest part.
When we get through it, baby
You're gonna give up your heart.

Gonna get into it, baby
Gonna give them demons a call
Way on into it baby
Gonna find out once and for all
Gonna get a little risky, baby
Honey that's my favorite part
When we get through with it, baby
We're gonna give up our hearts

Well there's no turnin back,
No turnin back, this time
Well there's no turnin back,
No turnin back-

No use in runin
It's always the same
You can count on the panic
It's the faces that change
We might have a change
To get this love off the block
So take a deep breath
Let's look under that rock

Repeat first verse
