Neneh Cherry Album

Who’s that gigolo on the street
With his hands in his pockets and his crocadile feet
Hanging off the curb, looking all disturbed
At the boys from home. They all came running
They were making noise, manhandling toys
That’s the girls on the block with the nasty curls
Wearing padded bras sucking beers through straws
Dropping down their drawers, where did you get yours?

Gigolo, Huh, sukka?
Gigolo. Gigolo, Huh, sukka?

Who’s looking good today?
Who’s looking good in every way?
No style rookie
You better watch don’t mess with me

No moneyman can win my love
It’s sweetness that I’m thinking of.
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I’ll give you love baby not romance
I’ll make a move nothing left to chance
So don’t you get fresh with me

Get funky. Yeah Timmy.
Tell it like it is. Check out this DJ.

So you say you wanted money but you know it’s never funny
When your shows worn through and there’s a rumble in your tummy
But you had to have style get a gold tooth smile
Put a girl on the corner so you can make a pile
Committed a crime and went inside
It was coming your way but you had to survive
When you lost your babe, you lost the race
Now you’re looking at me to taker her place.

Who’s looking good today?
Who’s looking good in every way?
No style rookie
You better watch don’t mess with me

Smokin.’ Not cokin.’ Get funky sax.
Looking good, hanging with the wild bunch.
Looking good ina Buffalo Stance.
Looking good when it comes to the crunch
Looking good’s a state of mind
State of mind don’t look behind you
State of mind or you’ll be dead
State of mind may I remind you
Bomb the Bass...rock this place!
What is he like? What’s he like anway?
Yo’ man what do you expect the guy’s a giggolo man
You know I mean?

No moneyman can win my love
It’s sweetness that I’m thinking of.
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I’ll give you love baby not romance
I’ll make a move nothing left to chance
So don’t you get fresh with me

No moneyman can win my love
It’s sweetness that I’m thinking of.
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I’ll give you love baby not romance
I’ll make a move nothing left to chance
So don’t you get fresh with me

Wind on my face, sound in my ears
Water from my eyes, and you on my mind
As I sink, diving down deep...deeper into your soul.

No moneyman can win my love
It’s sweetness that I’m thinking of.
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I’ll give you love baby not romance
I’ll make a move nothing left to chance
So don’t you get fresh with me

OK, you’re on your own, it’s late
Your girlfriend is on another date with the hero in your dream
Turn around, ask yourself. So, you think you’re gonna win this time Manchild?

Is it the pain of the drinking
Or the Sunday sinking feeling
The car never seems to work
When it’s late your girlfriend’s on a date
And the hero with her in your dream
In your sleep it seemed to like you
Turn around and ask yourself
Turn around ask yourself

Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you’re in

Could you go undercover
And sell your brand new lover (could you)
Be someone else for a night
Maybe someone else will love you
You sell your soul for a tacky song
Like the one you hear on the radio
Turn around ask yourself
Turn around and ask yourself

Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you’re in
Manchild, he will make you cry
Manchild, Manchild, Manchild

From Monday down to Friday
You’re working on another man’s car
Or is it in the factory?
It doesn’t matter where you are

Just turn around and ask yourself is this communication
Accentuate the positive and give some illustration
See Manchild, you’re no one, you turn the microphone on
Control communication when I’m kickin’ it and so on
To the point that I need, the air that I breathe
Into an audience that’s waiting and ecstatic to receive
For the meantime another mean rhyme, I keep on sayin’ it
I know what the time is the crowd will keep playing it
Through the speaker boxes loud’s my diagnosis
‘Cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses.
Enough R-E-S-P-E and C-T
Respect yourself express no stress the mike is easy
Just believe that all you need is the air that you breathe.
Turn around ask yourself

Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you’re in
Manchild, he will make you cry
Manchild, Manchild, Manchild
He’s the apple of your eye

Once bitten twice shy, why don’t you bite me again
Just take it in the right and go tell your friend
Are you ready for the words I turn the microphone on
A figure of speech to reach you at the back and so on
The style I’m stimulating dance floors
Raise your body temperature now and
This demands for power in the amp you know louds my diagnosis
‘Cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses

Down this wild street walks
Walks a child with no trace
Of ever being as young as her sister is
A local neighborhood crush the boys would hide out and watch
Her hanging washing on the line all the time

Chorus:
More like a woman she talks like one
She was the first girl, she was the first girl
To turn the boys on
Boys boys
Wrapped around her finger
So young
Making love was only dreaming
This girl she's got another story
When they are gone she blows them kisses on the wind

At the corner shop half way down the block
All the radios pumping to the way she walks
Past the fly boy's art where her name's engraved
Sweet liberty is what it says

Chorus:

The price of puberty's got
A way of showing
It doesn't come in easy stages
Her mother's face in the pot
She won't ever leave it
She needs a bell to ring the changes

Chorus...

Spreadin faster than an eye can blink
So I had to sit down and take time to think
Of how to spread the word to people all across the land
To make sure they putting out a helping hand
Neneh Cherry notice hurry so it must be told
About a group of people left in the cold
Caught by a plague slowly they fade
From immune deficiency you see called "AIDS"
No knowledge of the facts, kept in the dark
Scolds my soul and it hurts my heart
The young and elderly just running blind
Hurts so bad they denied their own kind
Papa turned around and said that ain't mine
It just made it hard for life on the line
And it's a shame to see a little child mature
Growing up knowing that there ain't no cure

I've got you under my skin
I've got you under my skin

... Pure pain they give me...

I had a friend once by the name of MARY JANE
Out with the guys and getting high was her only game
And now the tears in her eyes, there she lies
It drove her crazy, all the boys say that's it
I told you so but you reached the point of no return
Instead of pride you take the hardest way you had to learn
Oh mommy dearest, don't you know that I miss her so
That's why I sing this song
Just to let her know

I've got you under my skin
I've got you under my skin

I've got you deep in the heart of me
Down so deep in any part of me
I've got you, got you, got you under my skin

I've got you deep in the heart of me
Down so deep in any part of me
I've got you, got you, got you under my skin

Use your mentality, wake up to reality
I'be got you deep in the heart of me
Share your love, don't share the needle.

Autumn Breeze, a Spring Tease
summer days and winter nights
The seasons change and that's a fact
Is it not

Why it's the Next Generation.
And do you know what comes
From the best love in the world you could possibly ever have,
Yes it's the next generation

The children are the chosen ones,
society's got it's piorities Wrong. The schools are closing down.
Don't be messing with our future - black babies, white babies,
Quarter Puerto Ricans, two sixths Chinese,
any combination you could possibly imagine,
but this important as the ground
We walk on, people are people you know what I mean,
Even the baby with a portaphone
attached to its' buggy Pushed by a clone
and the black market baby that unwanted baby.
For 50,000 it belonged to the rich
well he didn't like his face,
She said it didn't matter
'cause her husband was a surgeon.
Ha ha ha ha - urr - sick
Ain't ain't that ain't that sick -

Sometimes and mess on your clothes that you worry about
Whether it's really worth the sacrifices that we all have to make
no matter how rich or poor
Why yes they're the next generation honey
(free up)

Push push push, in the bush down on your knees with the birds and bees
your basic needs is what you're fulfilling
This dude down this way must be making a killing
'Cause then in the morning

You planted a seed that won't grow a tree
'Cause the love that's showing is a baby growing
Inside there's a life that's well worth knowing, knowin, knowin

no matter how rich or poor
Why yes they're the next generation honey
You know, you know you see some people look at them right,
Old people, guys on the corner holding on, girls right walking
Arm in arm, spittin' on the pavement or whatever
And you wonder right if they've forgotten or if they just
Can't remember that they ever were small one time,
'Cause god knows we got to save the babies right,
'Cause if we don't save the babies
we ain't Gonna have a world to live in right
And god knows we love this world right,
ain't that, right so right.
Right right right... right uh uh...

I'm in a home run, I'm in a home run,
On the last stretch,on the last stretch.
I'm in a home run, I'm in a home run,
On the left foot, with the right foot.

I'm in a home run, I'm in a home run,
On the last stretch,on the last stretch.
I'm in a home run, I'm in a home run,
On the left foot, with the right foot.

You could have reached for me, saved me from lying
And I wanted to touch you.
But I was stuck on my island,
With a puddle of misunderstanding like a sea between us.
When we anchored our love in the harbour seems so long ago.
When we anchored our love in the harbour seems so long ago.

I'm in a home run, I'm in a home run,
On the last stretch,on the last stretch.
I'm in a home run, I'm in a home run,
On the left foot, with the right foot.

Come rain come shine I'm leaving this love ghetto.
Come rain come shine I'm leaving this love ghetto.

Chasing you is haunting me, but I know that girl is lying.
You upset my chemistry.
Baby I'm sick of crying,
Forever is only like the sky and the sea between us.
When we anchored our love in the harbour seems so long ago.
When we anchored our love in the harbour seems so long ago.

Come rain come shine I'm leaving this love ghetto.
Come rain come shine I'm leaving this love ghetto.

I can't see a way every day we are the same
Turning round and round I pick you up and then you let me down
Never will I blame, never will I hate
I'll just have to go saving you from saving me.

I'm in a home run, I'm in a home run,
On the last stretch,on the last stretch.
I'm in a home run, I'm in a home run,
On the left foot, with the right foot.

Come rain come shine I'm leaving this love ghetto.
Come rain come shine I'm leaving this love ghetto.

I'm in a home run, I'm in a home run,
On the last stretch,on the last stretch.
I'm in a home run, I'm in a home run,
On the right foot, with my left foot.
On my right foot.

What your eyes tell you, your ears can be deceived
And the poor teacher can always be relieved
In the love ghetto

What your eyes tell you, your ears can be deceived
And the poor teacher can always be relieved
In the love ghetto
In the love ghetto

What your eyes tell you, your ears can be deceived
And the poor teacher can always be relieved
In the love ghetto
In the love ghetto

Out of control
MMM- stick it where it hurts
Girl, I'll be peeling you off the ceiling. That's right Hee Hee
Ladies and gentlemen- Neneh Cherry

Well you laughed at me right in my face
At the wrong time and in the wrong place
You turned around and said "I'm all shook up"
Said to me "I'm your sweet buttercup You're lying, you're lying,
Begging him to stay and crying
You're lying, you're lying, you're never satisfied

Heart, heart you can't break my heart
Hard, hard you think you're so hard
If you meant what you did it wouldn't been half as bad
But you did it in spite and that just isn't right

You took my man and didn't mean it
But you did it to hurt my feelings
What I should do is slap you in your face
You left me here with a pain below my waste
You lose a guy you move into the larder
You got no style, why don't you try a little harder
Chocolates, bananas, doughnuts and salami
Aint gonna fit coz you're full of boloni

Heart, heart you can't break my heart
Hard, hard you think you're so hard
If you meant what you did it wouldn't been half as bad
But you did it in spite and that just isn't right

Only back alley rats take other peoples cats
And then strike back, that isn't where I'm at

Anyway, it's gonna get you anyway
Anyday, I'm gonna get you, get you

Heart, heart you can't break my heart
Hard, hard you think you're so hard
If you meant what you did it wouldn't been half as bad
But you did it in spite and that just isn't right
I thought you were my friend. God, you're just so digital girl.
You're like one of those cabbage patch creatures - DJ

You're burning the candle at both ends
You're gonna feel the heat
If everything you do comes back to you
By now you'd be dead meat
You took my man and took his body
Strapped him to your bed just to have his baby
Everybody knows you're a phoney
You just want his alimony

Heart, heart you can't break my heart
Hard, hard you think you're so hard
If you meant what you did it wouldn't been half as bad
But you did it in spite and that just isn't right

If you're gonna play with my soul,
Why don't you take a look at your own first.
No pain is lean enough, it's always filled with hurt,
And those feelings, you know I felt them first
and it hurts.

So why don't you stop phoney ladies
In my face to cramp my freedom,
Phoney ladies that mess me up,
Calling names to cramp my freedom
And you don't even wanna see them
Calling names to cramp my freedom
Phoney ladies that mess me up.
Nobody's gonna grab my freedom,
Nobody's gonna mess me up.

You becoming a victim of the game,
Don't you forget I'm your sister and your friend too.
The way you treat me will put this house to shame,
Your secret conversations put you in the frame.
In the frame

So why don't you stop phoney ladies
In my face to cramp my freedom,
Phoney ladies that mess me up,
Calling names to cramp my freedom
And you don't even wanna see them
Calling names to cramp my freedom
Phoney ladies that mess me up.
Nobody's gonna grab my freedom,
Nobody's gonna mess me up.

No money money money can buy what we've got,
No money money money can buy what we've got,
No money money money can buy what we've got,
No money money money can buy what we've got.

You're playing games,
trying to make me jealous.
It'll never save us now.

So why don't you stop calling ladies
In my face to cramp my freedom,
Phoney ladies that mess me up,
Calling names to cramp my freedom
And you don't even wanna see them
Calling ladies to cramp my freedom
Phoney ladies that mess me up.
Nobody's gonna grab my freedom,
Nobody's gonna mess me up...

When you dance all night giving it all you got,
And you cover me in your body sweat
Like liquid honey, your kiss is so sweet
You're my fantasy.
Oh won't you stay with me.

You're driving me wild.
You're driving me crazy
Baby,
You are Outre risque locomotive, driving me crazy.
Baby baby,
You're a super static automative, crazy or lazy.

I know the flesh is weak,
I pray my soul to keep providing me with dignity.
My body's clean but my mind is so bad
if you want some of this
you've got to be my man, don't you see.

You're driving me wild.
You're driving me crazy (baby)
Baby,
You are Outre risque locomotive, driving me crazy.
Baby, baby,
You're a super static automative, crazy or lazy.

Hey boy your love is kicking
No I think your love is dope
What am I gonna do when the night is through?
I got an obsession and you know that's you
Punping in my body, driving me crazy
Ina dry land you're like an oasis
Making me hot, making me lazy - you amaze me.

So you be the train and I'll be the track
You turn me into a mono maniac
There ain't no stopping me when I go off
I don't show off, I need to cool off
My body's pullin' me in each and everyday
Coca Cola Kool Aid wet my whistle baby, baby, baby

Everyone's looking for a true love
Everyone's looking for a true love
for the true love

Baby,
You are Outre risque locomotive, driving me crazy.
Baby, baby,
You're a super static automative, crazy or lazy.

I make sure to preserve what I have
My body's clean but my mind is bad
You know some girls and boys it's sad
Lost their love and all they had
Layin' layin' down all the time
Layin' layin' down on the ground
Being better known as a doormat
Hey what kinda life is that
So climb into my head
Let's do the dirty
You wanna go to bed
Don't get shirty
The answer is no, 'cause your love is dope
Can't you see it's not that I won't, just wait, just wait

Baby,
You are Outre risque locomotive, driving me crazy.
Baby, baby,
You're a super static automative, crazy or lazy.

Baby,
You are Outre risque locomotive, driving me crazy.
Baby, baby,
You're a super static automative, crazy or lazy...

I can see this picture of myself
In a green dress I felt lost
The first time I went to school
I was 4 feet 2, 6 feet scared and so distressed
This dress was green, I was the best dressed
I'd ever been, first day at school
I said teacher teacher I know my ABC's
I want to read and write, I want to understand
Why the sky never ends and why the sky is blue
And not white - right
But when I spoke my heart broke
'Cause it was plain to see that school
Would never be the picture for my fantasy

I know where I'm going and where I'm coming from
So here I come, so here I come
I know where I'm going and where I'm coming from
So here I come, so here I come

Slowly I came to discover
Time, heals, time feels so young
When you're having fun
At 13 my kiss was sweet and not deep
Covered in blush kiss 'n tell
My lips were deep red and shiny as hell
In my stairwell kiss "n" love discovered me
Undercover my fantasy my first kiss hit and miss
He wasn't impressed 'cause I wouldn't get undressed
Wrote my name on the wall - my hair was pressed
He had blue balls

If you want to rock you've got to roll it
If you gonna live you've got to show it
And if you're gonna do it, you got to do it right - don't you know it

I know where I'm going and where I'm coming from
So here I come, so here I come
I know where I'm going and where I'm coming from
So here I come, so here I come

On the rooftops I seen panties drop
And thru the windows behind the screens
In the red light after a fight love was made
Love was saved
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 in hell just to go straight to heaven
I might have been lost but now I'm found
I got my two feet on the ground

I know where I'm going and where I'm coming from
So here I come, so here I come
I know where I'm going and where I'm coming from
So here I come, so here I come

I know where I'm going and where I'm coming from
So here I come, so here I come
I know where I'm going and where I'm coming from
So here I come, so here I come...

When you turn around baby,
I'll be watching you,
I can see through you,
maybe then you'll see,
that I ain't playing.
I'm to be taken seriously.
you know what I'm saying?.
and so the story goes.

one night when I was shaking,
and I definately wasn't faking,
I was lost in a trance,
doing my own dance,
my girls on my side,
were concentrating on the music playing,
and the speakers vibrating,
I shut my eyes, and the next thing I knew,
all I could smell was leather and brute,
imposing on my groove, standing on my side,
and licking your lips, and rocking your thighs,
I wanted to die laughing, at your serious,
I've come to save you expression,
but I held my breath and said who are you?

Baby, my name is Drew,
I'm gonna make you my bitch,
maximum tender,
feminine gender,
come on baby it's time to surrender,
I'm Drew,

(So what you gonna go)

I just want to get into you,
hey bitch don't be so uptight,
we can make a date through tonight,
and then before hell breaks loose,
I'll just turn up the juice.

I say:
Hey all you people my name is mr smalls,
and some of the girls are saying I am the one with the greatest heart,
no matter where I go (gimme a break) no matter who i show
and I'm mr smalls

(Is that right, wait now),
I stomped this joint from top to toe,
I found nothing but half pint two bit guys,
acting out the parts, who might have been charming,
some are in a movie being batman and robin,
it's not the way you look, cause you ain't half bad,
it's the way you act that makes me sad,
you know you think you're finger licking and that's the problem,
looking rightin the mirror ain't gonna solve it,
thats something special deep inside,
called heart and soul might give you style,
all that time you sent looking at yourself,
you're so transparent,
it makes me sick

Baby you said I'm vain,
but i've got so much to gain,
for instance if i had you,
here's what i would do,
dine you by candlelight,
hold you baby all through the night,
and the love that i give to you
will be cooking like your mama's stew

I say:
Hey all you people,
(sorry?)
my name is mr. smalls
(I didn't hear that!)
and some of the girls are saying
I am the one with the greatest heart
(the greatest what?)
everywhere I go, no matter who show,
(don't try me)
I'm mr. smalls

Give me some more

I ain't impressed,
I ain't getting undressed just yet,
I'm saving my personal stash,
for a male who can handle me with care,
I don't beat around the bush,
cruise a little, wicked and slow,
I can't take none of that degenerate stuff,
a little discretion can melt me like butter,
and I'll give you sweet love,
'til you cry to your mother,
we can wear out the backbone in my couch,
you care where i am, what I'm about,
I'm not about to change, more or less,
I know what's morally right for me,
there are certain conditions you see

Hey all you people,
my name is mr. smalls,
and some of the girls are saying I'm the one with the greatest heart,
everywhere i go,
no matter who I show,
and I'm mr. smalls

Hey all you people,
my name is mr. smalls,
and some of the girls are saying I'm the one with the greatest heart,
everywhere i go,
no matter who I show,
and I'm mr. smalls

(I've heard everything this is tops)

Hey Drew why is it you got to treat ladies
like they were hanging off a meat hook, that's you problem man?
My problem, my problem is you got an attitude!
Yeah and you know what you leave us with...
what?
...feminine itch
Ah that's cool! I can dig that, you're a bitch baby!
I ain't gonna be your bitch!
You what???
I'm finished with you drew!
Ah come on baby...
Forget it you're tired!
If you want to call your mama you can use my car phone!
Yeah, your car phone, I'll phone Australia...
I'll phone Panama...
I'm the phone way down in Mississippi
That's cool, I'll pay the rent!
Next week now baby, we can do this like, Brutis...
I'm going on my own, see you later honey, later,
much much much much much much later.
Well I might give you a ring

Who's that gigolo on the street
With his hands in his pockets and his crocadile feet
Hanging off the curb, looking all disturbed
At the boys from home. They all came running
They were making noise, manhandling toys
That's the girls on the block with the nasty curls
Wearing padded bras sucking beers through straws
Dropping down their drawers, where did you get yours?

Gigolo, Huh, sukka?
Gigolo. Gigolo, Huh, sukka?

Who's looking good today?
Who's looking good in every way?
No style rookie
You better watch don't mess with me

No moneyman can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of.
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I'll give you love baby not romance
I'll make a move nothing left to chance
So don't you get fresh with me

Get funky. Yeah Timmy.
Tell it like it is. Check out this DJ.

So you say you wanted money but you know it's never funny
When your shoes worn through and there's a rumble in your tummy
But you had to have style get a gold tooth smile
Put a girl on the corner so you can make a pile
Committed a crime and went inside
It was coming your way but you had to survive
When you lost your babe, you lost the race
Now you're looking at me to take her place.

Who's looking good today?
Who's looking good in every way?
No style rookie
You better watch don't mess with me

Smokin.' Not cokin.' Get funky sax.
Looking good, hanging with the wild bunch.
Looking good in a Buffalo Stance.
Looking good when it comes to the crunch
Looking good's a state of mind
State of mind don't look behind you
State of mind or you'll be dead
State of mind may I remind you
Bomb the Bass...rock this place!
What is he like? What's he like anway?
Yo' man what do you expect the guy's a gigolo man
You know I mean?

No moneyman can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of.
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance

I'll give you love baby not romance
I'll make a move nothing left to chance
So don't you get fresh with me

Wind on my face, sound in my ears
Water from my eyes, and you on my mind
As I sink, diving down deep...deeper into your soul.

No moneyman can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of.

OK, you're on your own, it's late
Your girlfriend is on another date with the hero in your dream
Turn around, ask yourself.
So, you think you're gonna win this time Manchild?

Is it the pain of the drinking
Or the Sunday sinking feeling
The car never seems to work
When it's late your girlfriend's on a date
And the hero with her in your dream
In your sleep it seemed like you
Turn around ask yourself
Turn around ask yourself

Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you're in

Could you go undercover
And sell your brand new lover (could you)
Be someone else for a night
Maybe someone else will love you
You'd sell your soul for a tacky song
Like the ones you hear on the radio
Turn around ask yourself
Turn around and ask yourself

Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you're in
Manchild, he will make you cry
Manchild, Manchild, Manchild

From Monday down to Friday
You're working on another man's car
Or is it in the factory?
It doesn't matter where you are

Just turn around and ask yourself is this communication
Accentuate the positive to give some illustration
See Manchild, you're no one, I turn the microphone on
Control communication when I'm kickin' it and so on
To the point that I need, the air that I breathe
Into an audience that's waiting and ecstatic to receive
For the meantime another mean rhyme, I keep on sayin' it
I know what the time is in the crowd we'll keep on playing it
Through the speaker boxes loud's my diagnosis
'Cause I believe in miracles and words in steady doses.
Enough R-E-S-P-E and C-T
Respect yourself express no stress the mike is easy
Just believe that all you need is the air that you breathe.
(Turn around ask yourself)

Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you're in
Manchild, he will make you cry
Manchild, Manchild, Manchild
He's the apple of your eye

Once bitten twice shy, why don't you bite me again
Just take it in the right and go tell your friend
Are you ready for the words I turn the microphone on
A figure of speech to reach you at the back and so on
The style I'm stimulating dance floors
Raise your body temperature now and
This demands for power in the amp you know loud's my diagnosis
'Cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses
