Baby Said

B A B Y S A I D

baby said she’d love me
she’d always stand beside me
baby lied . . . but that’s all right
baby said forever
baby said never say goodby
she left that night

baby said a lot of things a
fool wouldn’t buy
she got caught a thousand times
I sorta let it slide
baby said she loved me
I think she thought she did
baby said a lot of things
she was such a crazy kid…

baby said honey
you ain’t got no money
I like that so
my old man’s made of loot
and it don’t buy no truth
and Baby knows

baby said save me
sometimes I think I’m crazy
She’d say anything–even the truth
But once you surrendered
it really was forever and
there wouldn’t be nothing anyone could ever do

baby said she’d love me
she’d always stand beside me
baby lied . . . but that’s all right
baby said forever
baby said never say goodby
she left that night

baby said a lot of things a
fool wouldn’t buy
she got caught a thousand times
I sorta let it slide
baby said she loved me
I think she thought she did
baby said a lot of things
she was such a crazy kid…

Turn Your Dimmer Down Low

Wake up baby, turn your dimmer lights down low (2)
When it gets yellow like this it hurts my eyes
but it eases my soul

Come here baby pay those monkeys in the shadows no mind (2)
Those monkeys are my demons — they been waitin for me such a long time

I been down — but it never looked like up to me (2)
I been down I guess it just aint what it used to be

Angel in the Bottle

Angel in the Bottle

There’s an angel
in the bottle
but the devil’s still alive
inside of me

I’m sitting
here in limbo
got my whole life
in back of me

Baby I thought
I’d be the one to save you
but I never dreamed
I couldn’t save myself

Well theres one thing
that by now is plain
through these forty years
of life death and change

There’s something broken
down inside of me
deep down inside, you see
I got this pain-

There’s Always Trouble

THERE’S ALWAYS TROUBLE (In a Fool’s Paradise)
(C) 1990, TK Major

9/7/90

There’s always trouble in a fool’s paradise
There’s always trouble but the fool don’t realize

Trouble comes knocking just whenever trouble wants
trouble knock down your front door and take everything you got

[ch] There’s always trouble but the fool don’t realize
there’s always trouble in a fool’s paradise

There’s always suffering, plenty to go around
but give it to some other guy, on some other side of town

I don’t know my neighbors and they seem nice enuff
but if the Insane Crips come and blow them away

it  makes it tough to maintain my bluff

[ch]

Trouble stay out of my backyard I can pretend it don’t exist
sure enough I feel real bad for that poor fool the trouble hits

but it really aint none of my affair I fold the paper away
cause I sure enough know I don’t wanta read bout
the trouble (clearly) headed thisa way (comin any day)

[ch]

Theres always turmoil in the heart of Babylon
but you go where the gold is and the rest just tag along
theres always loserrs in the race to stay alive
theres always casualties but sometimes the strong survive

Without Warning

Y O U C A M E W I T H O U T W A R N I N G

You came without warning
on a monday morning
the day was all shot through
by shadows from the past
afterimages of the last
time that I was with you

and it didn’t take nothing
to see that I was something
that you just had to do
Well it mighta been right
on a Monday night
to release a little energy with you
— it mighta been right
in the end it came down to you

And I didn’t mean maybe
when I put it to you baby
There’s just time space and nothing more
But instead of pain
we could have pleasure again
just like before you heard about the fall

so when you come come
come come come around me
please take some form
take some from I can see
Well ghosts are fine
but I like some flesh on mine
Ya can’t steal my love
Ya can’t have my love for free

Tell It to Me in a Language That I’ll Understand

tell it to me baby in a language that I’ll understand

tell it to me baby
in a language that I’ll understand
I don’t speak french italian
hollandaise or hindustan
look like a straight talkin woman
why dont ya give it to me like a man

don’t put it between the lines
I won’t get the inference
dont make some dialectical comparison
cause I don’t know the difference
just come right out and say it
and then lets see the evidence

I know ya got something to say to me doll
don’t bother  putting it in words
I think I know what youre thinking
only I think I thought of it first
i guess the question is
do you want to fall in love [right now]
or do we gotta talk all night first

STUPID SHOES

Hey pretty mama
have you heard the news
Daddy’s gonna buy you
some stupid shoes

Hey pretty baby

Daddy’s gonna part with
some of his green

Go down to K-Mart
Buy whatever you chose
Cause Daddy’s gonna buy you some
stupid shoes

Hey sweet darlin
have you heard
Daddy’s gonna buy you a
stupid bird

And if that stupid bird can’t sing
Daddy’s gonna break both of his wings
and if that stupid bird cand Do the King
Dadd’ys gonna do something terrible to that poor thing

Hey there shnookums
have you heard the word (heard the word, heard the word)
Daddy’s gonna buy you a
stupid T-Bird

Computer assisted aerodynamic design
and Dady can pay for it on time

And if they recall the Ford T-Bird
Daddy’s gonna kidnap Henry Ford the III

Stood Up to Your Love

Posted on by TK Major
Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

I STOOD UP TO YOUR LOVE

ya said its hard to love you
and I useta find that true
but now its impossible
no matter what I do (but)

I stood up to your love
I stood up like a man
I gave and gave and gave
until I didn’t give a damn

if this is the best love
ya can shove into my face
maybe you should shine/save it
caus I seemta lost the taste
(cause I no longer have the taste)

I used to see ya
in your fishnets and mini skirt
I just wanted to know ya
not roll with you in the dirt

but thats your idea of love baby
no matter who gets hurt
you wanna do what you wanna do
you get yours first

well im here to tell ya
better not want me truly yours
cause party of the second part
just ran around the world

I don’t know how ya lost control
but one day I just woke up
one day I was a zombie
a slave to this thing you call love

the next day the fever broke
the mirror was icy still
I looked for your reflection
as you sat on the window sill
For the first time I saw your eyes
the icey timeless calm
I knew I was almost lost
and my soul was almost gone

Pretty Little Head

Pretty Little Head

Babe I’ve been alone for such a long time
this loneliness tearin’ me apart
I got a pain in my head and a fire in my loins
and a whole lot of empty in my heart

If you had a thought in your pretty little head
Then maybe we could talk
today we’re alive tomorrow we’re dead
so I think right now we’d better rock

I look in your eyes and I wonder what
is going on in your mind
Are you really where you are
or where you’ll be tomorrow night?

your leg touches mine beneath the table
I feel your hand slide up my thigh
I feel kinda dizzy I feel kinda high
I feel like I’m gonna die

If you had a thought in your pretty little head
Then maybe we could talk
today we’re alive tomorrow we’re dead
so I think right now we’d better rock

It’s Only Been a Million Years

It’s Only Been a Million Years

One day you’ll wake up
and figure out I’ve gone
Only thing surprise me
took you so damn long

Only been a million years
since I had a dream
It’s only been forever
since I felt a thing

one day I love you
next day I don’t
Hard to believe
You didn’t know

It only takes an instant
for the hottest flame to die
it only takes forever
to spend your life wond’rin’ why
