Love Ain't That Smart
03:37
|

I wasn't in my right mind, I knew better
Nothin' was clear but the love in your eyes
Passion cut off all fear of pain
No logic at all released in my brain
That was the first time but not the last
I'm standing here baby ready for another chance
I was a fool to fall so far
But I'd do it again with you
I don't know how to guard my heart
Cause love just ain't that smart
Your touch cut off all my good sense
The state I was in was so intense
That was the first time but not the last
I'm standing here baby ready for a second chance
I was a fool to fall so far
But I'd do it again with you
If we could take it from the start
but love just ain't that smart
at letting go or giving up
getting over your sweet touch
Love forgets all your wrongs and it helps you carry on

Blame It On My DNA
03:44
|
|||
I got my daddy's mean streak, my uncle's evil eye
The lips my momma gave me could make a grown man cry
My grandma's good intentions of hiding her cigarettes
didn't keep me from addiction or failing that damn drug test
Somethin runs so deep, deep into my veins
that causes me to do all kinds of crazy things
I used to blame the devil for my evil ways
Now I blame it on my DNA
Aunt Betty liked to dance and stay out all night long
I guess that's why my feets ton't ever make it home
until the sun comes up on my skin so fair
Now all my guilt is gone in just one strand of hair
Thank God for modern science or I'd be scared as hell
what freedom I now have that there ain't no wicked spell cause I used to blame the devil for my evil ways
Now I blame it on my DNA
Ain't no changin' a leopard's spots or the way wine makes me feel
so I raise another glass to Grandma's sex appeal
Here's another toast to my family tree
If it wasn't for all of them I wouldn't be all me
Somethin' runs so deep, deep into my veins
that causes me to do all kinds of crazy things
I used to blame the devil for my evil ways
Now I blame it on my DNA

Seventeen
03:40
|

I was in my purple polyester dress
You in your fedora looking your best
Cheech & Chong was on the stereo
at our picture perfect homecoming dance
We were wild and free, seventeen
Free birds, flying in the wind
For just one day I'd like to go back again to
Wild and free, Seventeen
Dancin' at Charley McGruders
Gettin' in under-age was a piece-of-cake
The girls just smiled at the bouncers
Only a fool would have turned us away
Repeat Chorus
Everything changed after our senior year
I went off to college and he went to jail for five years
But the more I know the less I understand
So let's go back where we knew everything
Repeat Chorus
I was in my purple polyester dress
You in your fedora looking your best

Just Believe
04:01
|
|||
Ain't nobody ever get out easy
We all got a hard way to go
It's a dark world when you're swimmin up from downward swirl
Love don't care where you been
Love don't need you to give in
Love is and always will be
Have a little faith in me
Just Believe
I wanna see you shine
Just Believe
I'll be by your side
All you need oh is to believe
Oh baby, you better believe in love
Lonely nights make a body ache
Pillow over your head
But if you ain't been broken hearted
then you ain't been out of bed
Love don't care where you been
Love don't need you to give in
Love is and always will be
Have a little faith in me
Repeat Chorus

In Between Times
04:23
|
|||
Sweet kisses at the door
Fingers linger for awhile
We let go and say goodbye
In the between times
You'll be on my mind
Between now and then
Until I see you again
Love is all you'll find
Leaving always comes too soon
Even though we were makin' love til noon
I know you'll be home with me tonight
but until then baby
Repeat Chorus
No matter how long the hours become our love will stay strong
Though there may be days we are tested and torn I promise you
Repeat Chorus

Ready
03:56
|

Love is a journey whether short or long
I got to know baby if you want me to come along
Cause I've memorized every move you make
Im; sitting on ready even if I have to wait
I'm gonna be Ready, Ready
Even if I don't get to go
My heart is full of love, you know
I'm Ready, Ready
Oh, even if I don't get to go
Cause sweet devotion is what I want to give you
I know you got all the good things that a woman needs
Here I am baby, willing
All you got to do is just believe
Even if I don't get to go
My heart is full of love -- you know
I'm Ready, Ready
Oh, Ready even if I don't get to go

Hell Gettin' Out
03:34
|
|||
I was laughing and playing, runnin' when I should walk
You were lookin' both ways when I hit you so it wasn't your fault
Love's an accident waitin' to happen everytime I turn around
To be such fun gettin' in
Love is hell gettin' out
I as tryin' but only lyin' to you as well as myself
It was over long before I ran off with somebody else
Life is way too short to waste it on the wrong one anyhow
To be such fun gettin' in
Love is hell gettin' out
Am i just in love with the feelin' of fallin' in love
Only happy when I'm reelin' never known' which way is up
Never meant to hurt no one
Never meant to hurt myself
When I look back on what I've done it's a wonder I have any heart left
But love takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'
Better luck next time around
Love is easy gettin' in
Love is hell gettin' out

Should'a Known Better
04:26

Shoulda known better
I'm better off now that I know
I keep holdin' on
But I'm gonna have to let you go
You been playin' me for a fool
Told me that you left her
Now I know the truth
I shoulda known better
The summer heat musta gotten to me
I musta lost my mind
I opened up and let you in
You were trouble from start to end
Shoulda known better
I'm better off now that I know
No more weepin' eyes
It's time your ass hit the door
You gave me nothin' but the bitter blues
Said, "I ain't kickin' it with her"
While she's lyin' right next to you
I shoulda known better
Shoulda known better
Now winter winds are blowin' in
Still you can't decide
Guess you won't never be true
So I'm gonna make it easy for you
Shoulda known better
I'm better off now that I know
I keep holdin' on but I'm gonna have to let you go
I should have known better
Shoulda known better

Better Off Than On
03:13
|
|||
We gave it a try, we gave it our all
We traveled to unknown heights then we began to fall
It was fun while it lasted but love can't live on fun alone
On a train bound for heartache
I think we're better off than on
Today I heard one of our old songs
I turned it up but the feelin' was gone
Time has a way the pain don't last too long
On a train bound for heartache
I think we're better off than on
We didn't cheat and we didn't lie
But we had plenty of reasons to say goodbye
When the passion was lost the love began to die
I guess the two of us just didn't see eye to eye
We gave it a try, we gave our all
We traveled to unknown heights then we began to fall
It was fun while it lasted but love can't live on fun alone
On a train bound for heartache
I think we're better off than on
Better off than on

Cook It Up
04:13
|
|||
We were outside skimmin' rocks
the first time I heard my momma call
Y'all come on in now it's time for supper
Sista' always wants to lollygag
Catchin' fireflies and playing tag
But we better behave don't miss out
Arrive before the biscuits rise
cause she'll be servin' up smiles
Momma's in the kitchen
Daddy too
Everybody's hungry for her soul food
Momma's fixin' somethin' good
cause she cooks with love
aw cook it up
Maters, taters and back-eyed peas
Collard greens aw lawd hoo weee
Daddy has to loosen up his belt
Welcome all but don't be late
Don't you dare hesitate
Or you'll be gnawing on a bone
Arrive before the biscuits rise
cause she'll be servin' up smiles
Repeat Chorus
