I'm alive! And I see things mighty clear today, I'm alive!
I'm alive! And I'm sitting here and doing my thing, I'm alive!
And I'm real! I can breath and touch and see and feel, I'm alive
I'm a man! I don't care if I'm right or wrong, I'm a man
Na na, na na, na na, na na.

I'm a man! And I'm red and yellow and black and tan, I'm a man!
I'm alive! And I'm doin' my thing and singin' my song, I'm alive!
And I'm real! I can breath and touch and see and feel and I'm alive!
I'm a man! Who don't cares if the hair's too long, I'm a man!
Na na, na na, na na, na na.
Baby, baby, baby, baby yeah yeah

Your captivating eyes
The clever way they smile stops him in his tracks
And add your pretty face you keep him in his place
He'd do anything you ask

They've broken the mold
More precious than gold
When you're standing there the world disappears

It would be a crime to ever let you go
He should be inclined to keep you very close
No one else compares
You're a cut above the rest
He'd be such a fool if he should ever leave you

Be careful what you do he's so in love with you, you might tear him apart
To watch the way you move, it's obvious that you were made for breaking hearts
The pout of your lips, those soft fingertips
The curve of your waist, you're perfectly made

It would be a crime to ever let you go
He should be inclined to keep you very close
No one else compares you're a cut above the rest
He'd be such a fool if he should ever leave you

It would be a crime to ever let you go
He should be inclined to keep you very close
No one else compares you're a cut above the rest
He'd be such a fool if he should ever

It would be a crime to ever let you go
He should be inclined to keep you very close
No one else compares you're a cut above the rest
He'd be such a fool if he should ever leave you

Your captivating eyes
The subtle way you smile sets him in a spin
The subtle way you smile

. . .


Something wonderfull is happening here
It's indescribable but don't let it dissapear
Take this moment now before it's lost
Give yourselft away, don't come to cost

We got love
That's all that's really here now
We got love
And all we need is now

Come and go with me let's enjoy de vew
Make this day complete forget your solitude
This time has come for us so take my hand
It's written on your face I know you understand

We got love
That's all I feel here now
We got love
That's why we still here now

All the way all the world
It's the universe so wave
It stays you and I
And the way we feel today

We got love
That's all that's really here now
We got love
And all we need is now

We got love
I see it in your eyes
We got love
And it's a beautiful sign

Day trippin', so reapin'
Girl in a rock and roll band
Lights out, so loud
Better than you ever had

Feels like music
Pumpin' trough your veins
Feels like music
Coming back again

Shake down, take down
Knocking to a different beat
One touch, head rush
Drop it one more time for me

Feels like music
Like you ain't never heard
Feels like music
All around the world

Well, If you're wired by the sound
And you want to sing it out, sing it!
Yes, If you're wired by the sound
And you want to shake it down, shake it!

Feels like music
Like you ain't never heard
Feels like music
All around the world

Midnight, so fine
I love the way you twist and turn
Don't fight, hold tight
Baby, let it burn, let it burn

Back it down! Hoo! Come on! Yes!

Feels like music
Pumpin' trough your veins
Feels like music
And coming back again

Day trippin', so reapin'
Girl in a rock and roll band
Lights out, so loud
Better than you ever had

Feels like music
Pumpin' trough your veins
Feels like music
Coming back again

Feels like music
Like you ain't never heard
Feels like music
All around the world

Shake down, take down
Knocking to a different beat
One touch and head rush
Drop it one more time for me

Feels like music
Pumpin' trough your veins
Feels like music
And coming back again

Feels like music
Like you ain't never heard
Feels like music
All around the world

I got myself
By an obsession
It's on
Another dimension
Don't need a whole
At protection
‘Cause it give me
All I've been getin'
It give me life, hope,
Dreams, golds, you know

You've got to give
A little a love,
Give a little a love
Go on just do it,
You can't confuse it
Give a little a love give
A little a love
Go on and do it, Go!

Leaving in a world
When is plenty
So how
I come running and empty
When we been touch
By so many
And still
There's more without many
Without any life, hope,
Dreams, golds, you know

We've got to give
A little a love,
Give a little a love
Go on just do it,
You can't confuse it
Give a little a love,
Give a little a love
Go on just do it, go!

You know you got to do
What you can
You know you got
To try to understand

You've got to give
A little a love,
Give a little a love
Go on just do it,
You can't confuse it
Give a little a love
Yive a little a love
Go on and do it, Go!

I have wonder, a million miles
Suffer, many times
Felt the weakness, when I was strong
Held sweetness when it's was wrong
I've touch tight and low
But wherever I go

The road, always returns to you
My love, It still belongs to you

Seen you crying, tears of rain
I know, I cause you pain
Lef you shatter on the ground
But what matters is here and now
Cause all that I know is wherever I go

The road, always retunrs to you
My love, It still belongs to you

All the bridges that I've build are unbroken
All the memories that live come with knowing
Every thing I've never done
Every thing I've ever done

. . .


I see the girls by the pool
And they are playing it cool
And they are playing it fine but,
I miss the rhythm divine

I miss their elegant touch
It's all a little too much
You gotta do it in style,
And rhythm...

I see the guys on the street
I see the people they meet and
They are playing it smart
But I'm not buying that part
They are playing it tough
That's strictly doubious stuff
You gotta do it in style,
And rhythm...

I see the people around
They're spending dollars and pounds
They think they are so debonair, but
I'm not buying that flair
They got all the right moves
But I'm missing the groove
You gotta do it in style,
And rhythm...

So when you check someone out
And the music is loud
Don't concentrate on the lips,
Just keep your eyes on the hips
And if there's plenty of swing
Then sure enough there is zing.
You gotta do it in style,
And rhythm, and rhythm, and rhythm, and rhythm.

You gotta do it in style, and rhythm,
Style and rhythm, do it in style,
Do got to do it in rhythm, do it in rhythm,
Style and rhythm, style and rhythm
Well, you know what I mean
Style, rhythm, oh whole lot of rhythm,
Oh whole lot of rhythm, Oh yeah...

I've got male intuition
I've got sexual ambition
I'm the last great tradition
Let me state my position

The older I get
The better I was
It's all just a show
It's all just because
The show must go on
What else can it do?
I'm gonna drop the load on you

Sugar, sugar daddy, Sugar

I got no inhibition
I got all the ammunition
Got the moves with position
Can't you see my condition?

You gotta get your hands dirty
When you're digging a ditch
And … gods
Revenge on the rich

Got the money got the moves
Got the looks and the brakes
Got the shirt got the shoes
Got what it takes

You've got to lay it down
Tell me what you need
You've got to lay it down
Get up, up from your feet you know
I get it down
You wanted sorrow, want it sweet
Daddy always gives you what is good for you

Sugar, sugar daddy, Sugar

I've got male intuition
It's a desperate condition
Nearly out of ammunition
Sexual ambition

Whoa!
Holy schmoly
I'm a one man army
Yeah, a one man mob
Woo-hoo
I'm the McDaddy
You don't send a boy to do a man's job

And you make me feel
Like I'm not alone
I've been singing this song
Since before you were born
Baby, you're invited
But your friend can't come
He's a little too excited
Maybe a little too young

Ah baby, you're invited
But your friend can't come
He's a little too rich
Maybe a little too young
The show must go on
What else can it do?
I'm gonna drop it all on you

Sugar, sugar daddy
Sugar, sugar daddy
Sugar, sugar daddy
Sugar, sugar daddy
Sugar

Summer's gone
It could not stay
It ran it's path
It's yesterday

Like a moment's fire
That lost it's burn
It fade it fast
And wont return

So I walk on
And make my memories
And hope is not gone
Because I still believe
There's a reason for passing time
These are the seasons of my life

I've long for spring
And the winter's cold
I felt the sing
Of the unknow
My frozen heart
Held me bound
Until the time
It turn around

So I walk on
And make my memories
And hope's not gonne
Because I still believe
There's a reason for passing time
This are the seasons of my life

There more I live
Then more I grows
No more than this is
Is all I know
For time as run
But I don't mind
For life's begone
Once more inside

So I walk on
And make my memories
And hope's not gonne
Because I still believe
There's a reason for passing time
These are the seasons of my life

. . .


From the first time that I heard you I knew
I'd be hooked on you forever like the blues
People told me you would hurt me, so untrue
Cos after all these years, you're the one thing thats still here
Cos of you there's no alone
You've been with me through it all

[Chorus:]
Never Never Never Never gonna give you up
Running through my blood
Never Never Never Never leaving you behind
Always on my mind
Can't get enough of your highs and your lows
You take me places where nobody goes
And if you went away, I would never be the same

Oh your sweetness is like sugar on my lips
When you're not around its your melody that I miss
Like an old friend you come back to me so quick
And after all this time I've still got you in my life
You and me we're going strong
You and me we still belong

[Chorus x3]

. . .


Come to the door Ma, and unlock the chain
I was just passin' through and got caught in the rain
There's nothing I want, nothin' that you need say
Just let me lie down for a while and I'll be on my way?

I was no more than a kid when you put me on the Southern Queen
With the police on my back I fled to New Orleans
I fought in the dockyards and with the money I made
I knew the fight was my home and blood was my trade

Baton Rouge, Poncitoula, and Lafayette town
Well they paid me their money Ma I knocked the men down
I did what I did well it come easily
Restraint and mercy Ma were always strangers to me

I fought champion Jack Thompson in a field full of mud
Rain poured through the tent to the canvas and mixed with our blood
In the twelfth I slipped my tongue over my broken jaw
I stood over him and pounded his bloody body into the floor
Well the bell rang and rang and still I kept on
'Till I felt my glove leather slip 'tween his skin and bone

Then the women and the money came fast and the days I lost track
The women red, the money green, but the numbers were black
I fought for the men in their silk suits to lay down their bets
I took my good share Ma, I have no regrets

Then I took the fix at the state armory with big John McDowell
From high in the rafters I watched myself fall
As he raised his arm my stomach twisted and the sky it went black
I stuffed my bag with their good money and I never looked back

Understand, in the end Ma every man plays the game
If you know me one different then speak out his name
Ma if my voice now you don't recognize
Then just open the door and look into your dark eyes
I ask of you nothin', not a kiss not a smile,
Just open the door and let me lie down for a while

Now the gray rain's fallin' and my ring fightin's done
So in the work fields and alleys I take all who'll come
If you're a better man than me then just step to the line
Now there's nothin' I want Ma nothin' that you need say
Just let me lie down for a while and I'll be on my way

Tonight in the shipyard a man draws a circle in the dirt
I move to the center and I take off my shirt
I study him for the cuts, the scars, the pain,
Man, nor the time can erase
I move hard to the left and I strike to the face

. . .


I forgot how much it hurts, to see you cry
And just how inconcent the world seems when you smile
There was a little kiss in the back of the car
Looking right at me, his eyes spells with the stars
I felt so happy and so true
In that moment he remind me of you

I've seen that face looking back at me
It's like a mirror reflecting everything
A faded distant memory
Pulling at my heart

I wanna to protect to you, from any pain
Keep you close to me, so you will always feel safe
You know how much I love you, my sweet precious child
I would do anything, I'll walk trough fire
I see part of me in you,
And when you look at me it all come shinning trough

. . .


Salty skin on my body
Sweated pores like rain
I can feel the attack
But I'm known to pain
The cold is creeping in
And it chills my veins
I've got one more minute, twenty four hours to go

No redemption in my heart
No illusions owned for start
What I did I cant take back
There's no use in wishing that
The bell is ringing now
And the clock counts down
I got one more minute, twenty four hours to go

Angels wont help me now
This fate is all mine
Darkness is fading out
And so is my time

Hear the footsteps at my door
I don't struggle anymore
As i take my final breath
I don't feel what lies ahead
Im leaving to a place
Where ill see your face
I had one more minute, twenty four hours ago

One more minute, twenty four hours ago

. . .
