Karaoke Night with Stoney!

[stoney321]

Okay, I want lots and lots of spam back with the lyrics to the song you are performing tonight at Club Stoney.  (Sounds like a Rasta bar, so:)  Eh Man!  You tink you can sing? 'Ere we tink EV'RYBODY sing.  Watch me now, one time.

 

Midnight, by Yaz

Midnight it's raining outside (yeah) he must be soaking wet
Everyone is sleeping tight God knows I tried my best (but)
Darling you know it looks bad
Just lost the best thing that I ever had (well)
Still I don't know hwy I did him wrong
It's too late now he's gone to say

Baby! oh no! Can't leave me now
Said think about it please
Cos I love you and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong (oh, before I did you wrong)

Heartache, heartache yeah
When I saw his face I could see how bad I'd let him down
Cheating when he was working hard I just had to mess around
I knew from the start he ain't got much money
I should have stayed content with all that good sweet honey
He's a good strong man and I love him so
So how on earth can I let him go?

Baby, oh no! Can't leave me now
Said think about it please
Cos I love you and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong

And now it's midnight it's raining outside
And I'm soaking wet still looking for that man of mine
And I ain't found him yet
Well all of this rain can wash away my tears
But nothing can replace all those wasted years
In all of this I tell you I have learnt
Playing with fire gets you burnt
And I'm still burning

Said, Baby!  Nooooo! Can't leave me now
Said think about PLEASE!
Cos I love you and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong

You say you';; lose your pride
Well don't you know dear, don't you know
I'll lose so much more if you go now
Oh no oh no no...

 

Now it's time for you to hit me with your numbah one karaoke tune!

The best roller skating song ever is "Funky Town." However, not one I would karaoke. But this one? Oh, hell yeah.

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you.
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Just the other day I heard a of a soldier's falling off.
Some Indonesian junk that's going round.

Chorus) Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things."
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war.
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.

Chorus) Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
Then I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my KISS records out.

Chorus) Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay. Sue's alright...Stoney's alright...Karabair's alright...

Whoo!!! Late night skating and karaoke!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It's about to be "slow jams" and "all couple skate." I'm wicked good going backwards. I'm about to put in a request for Xanadu... Someone stop me!

[grifyn.livejournal.com]

They used this song on a commercial not too long ago. I hope Cheap Trick got lots and lots of money, because it made me want to KILL.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Well, Robin Zander needs the hair implant dough. Hope it worked out.

[grifyn.livejournal.com]

Listen... I feel the need to preface this with a disclaimer: It was the 80s, and I was 9. There's was a roller rink in town. Our after-school program went there a lot. This song gave me a great big happy, and I'm sure it made my hair bigger with each listening:

Just a small town girl living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere

A singer in a smoky room, the smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night.
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting up down the boulevard.
Their shadows searchin in the night
Streetlight people living to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill, everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice. Just one more time.
Some will win some will lose some were born to sing the blues.
Oh the movie never ends. It goes on and on and on and on...

Don't stop believing.
Hold on to the feeling.
Streetlight people.

Who were the streetlight people? The world may never know. Would I karaoke this? With enough Long Island iced teas in me, anything's possible, though I'm more likely to stalk the stage while ineptly belting a Faith No More song.

There is no shame in the karaoke/skating rink.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

While I have no idea who the streetlinght people are, I do know this: enough LITs in anyone can bring about good times. Followed by a massive headache.

I tighten my glow-in-the-dark fat laces on my speed skates and start shaking and singing: Rapper's Delight, by SugarHill Gang. It's 70s Skate!

(Not all, but the middle part)
I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop
rock it out baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang
the boogie to the boogie da beat

I said I can't wait til the end of the week
when I'm rappin to the rhythm of a groovy beat
and attempt to raise your body heat
just blow your mind so that you can't speak
and do a thing but a rock and shuffle your feet
and let it change up to a dance called the freak
and when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
rest a little while so ya dont get weak
I know a man named hank
he has more rhymes than a serious bank
so come on hank sing that song
to the rhythm of the boogie da bang bang da bong

well, I'm imp the dimp the ladies pimp
the women fight for my delight
but I'm the grandmaster with the three mcs
that shock the house for the young ladies
and when you come inside, into the front
you do the freak, spank, and do the bump
and when the sucker mcs try to prove a point

we're treacherous trio, we're the serious joint
a from sun to sun and from day to day
I sit down and write a brand new rhyme
because they say that miracles never cease
I've created a devastating masterpiece
I'm gonna rock the mike til you can't resist
everybody, I say it goes like this
well I was comin home late one dark afternoon
a reporter stopped me for a interview
she said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
that I'm vicious on the mike and the turntables
this young reporter i did adore
so I rocked a vicious rhyme like I never did before
she said damn fly guy I'm in love with you
the casanova legend must have been true
I said by the way baby what's your name
said I go by the name of lois lane
and you could be my boyfiend you surely can
just let me quit my boyfriend called superman
I said he's a fairy I do suppoose
flyin through the air in pantyhose
he may be very sexy or even cute
but he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit
I said you need a man who's got finesse
and his whole name across his chest
he may be able to fly all through the night
but can he rock a party til the early light
he cant satisfy you with his little worm
but I can bust you out with my super sperm
I go do it, I go do it, I go do it, do it , do it
an I'm here an I'm there I'm big bang hank, I'm everywhere
just throw your hands up in the air
and party hardy like you just dont care
let's do it dont stop yall a tick a tock yall you dont stop
go hotel motel what you gonna do today(say what)
I'm gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spank drive off in a def oj
everybody go hotel motel holiday inn
you say if your girl starts actin up then you take her friend
I say skip, dive, what can I say
I cant fit em all inside my oj
so I just take half and bust them out
I give the rest to master gee so he could shock the house

**********
Time to skate over and grab a coke.... Someone take the mic!

Re: There is no shame in the karaoke/skating rink.

[grifyn.livejournal.com]

We used to sing this at the lunch table in elementary school in hushed tones, since the Baptist vibes around had alerted to the fact that it was evil. I remember it especially well because I was dancing around to it while on the stage in the auditorium, didn't see the edge, lost my balance, fell on my arm -- broke it. Because white girls in the boonies are not ready for the 'hood, yo.

Brass Monkey - that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey - junkie
That funky Monkey

Got this dance that's more than real
Drink Brass Monkey - here's how you feel
Put your left leg down - your right leg up
Tilt your head back - let's finish the cup
M.C.A. with the bottle - D. rocks the can
Adrock gets nice with Charlie Chan
We're offered Moet - we don't mind Chivas
Wherever we go with bring the Monkey with us
Adrock drinks three - Mike D. is D.
Double R. foots the bill most definitely
I drink Brass Monkey and I rock well
I got a Castle in Brooklyn - that's where I dwell

(repeat chorus)

Cause I drink it anytime - and anyplace
When it's time to get ill - I pour it on my face
Monkey tastes Def when you pour it on ice
Come on y'all it's time to get nice
Coolin' by the lockers getting kind of funky
Me and the crew - we're drinking Brass Monkey
This girl walked by - she gave me the eye
I reached in the locker - grabbed the Spanish Fly
I put it with the Monkey - mixed it in the cup
Went over to the girl, "Yo baby, what's up?"
I offered her a sip - the girl she gave me lip
It did begin the stuff wore in and now she's on my tip

(repeat chorus)

Step up to the bar - put the girl down
She takes a big gulp and slaps it around
Take a sip - you can do it - you get right to it
We had a case in the place and we went right through it
You got a dry Martini - thinking you're cool
I'll take your place at the bar - I smack you off your stool
I'll down a '40 dog" in a single gulp
And if you got beef you'll get beat to a pulp
Monkey and parties and reelin' and rockin'
Def, def - girls, girls - all y'all jockin'
The song and dance keeping you in a trance
If you don't buy my record I got my advance
I drink it - I think it - I see it - I be it
I love Brass Monkey but I won't give D. it
We got the bottle - you got the cup
Come on everybody let's get ffffff

(repeat chorus)

Who were the streelight people?

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

Perhaps the streetlight people were aligned with Mr. Roboto?

Re: Who were the streelight people?

[grifyn.livejournal.com]

So. Many. Songs. Stuck. In. My. HEAD! ::dies laughing:: I thought that was the coolest song in the world when it came out. I thought it was BADASS.

Tommy used to work WHERE?

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

oh dear lord. there may be a generation gap, but for those of us born during the Ford administration, there was only one great roller skating song that counted:

Once upon a time not so long ago:
Tommy used to work on the docks
union's been on strike

He's down on his luck - It's tough
so tough.
Gina works the diner all day
working for her man

She brings home her pay for love
for love.

She says: We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.
We've got each other and that's a lot for love -
We'll give it a shot.

Ohhh ---oooohh

We're half way there -

ohhhh--awhhhh

Livin' on a prayer

Take my hand and we'll make it
I swear - awh-awh --livin' on a prayer.

Tommy got his six string in hock.
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk -
So tough
it's tough.
Gina dreams of running away
when she cries in the night
Tommy whispers: Baby
it's okay
someday.

We've got to hold on to what we've got . . .
etc etc

The great thing? I had to look up those words, and I was shocked by what half of them were. And kids, I've KARAOKED this song before. MANY TIMES. I guess the answer to that riddle is, by the time you're karaoke-ing Bon Jovi, you're too drunk to retain the words.

Re: Tommy used to work WHERE?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I like that you are pretending to not know those words. Hee! And the DJ is calling for an all couple's skate with Slow Jams, so if we are heading back into 80s territory, then the next song (and I'm blinding grabbing someone's hands, BTW) is

Take My Breath Away, by Berlin

Watching every motion
In my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
Turning and returning
To some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today
I am unafraid

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching every motion
In this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn my way and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away


Seriously? I'd crack up if someone "turned to me and [said] 'Take my breath away." Someone take the mic and I'll ask the DJ about some Duran Duran.

Re: Tommy used to work WHERE?

[grifyn.livejournal.com]

Oh, lord. This is the night for nostalgia apparently. The thing is? I still got the long, long hair! My headbanging ability has not been impaired by maturity! (Peanut gallery: "What maturity?") YEAH!

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf
Another day, some other way
We're gonna go, but then we'll see you again
I've had enough, we've had enough
Cold in vain, she said

(Pre-chorus)

I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winnin'
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart

(Chorus)

Round and round
With love we'll find a way just give it time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why

Dig

Lookin' at you, lookin' at me
The way you move, you know it's easy to see
The neon light's on me tonight
I've got a way, we're gonna prove it tonight
Like Romeo to Juliet
Time and time, I'm gonna make you mine
I've had enough, we've had enough
It's all the same, she said

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Yeah!

Solo

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf

(Chorus)

Round and round
With love we'll find a way just give it time, time, time, time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why, why, why, why
Round and round

It's time for the speed skate: if everyone can approach the cones...

To get your motors revvin':
Dr. Feelgood, Motley Crue
Rat tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood
He deals out in Hollywood
Got a '65 Chevy primered flames
Traded for some powdered goods
Jigsaw Jimmy he's runnin' a gang
But I hear he's doin' O.K.
Got a cozy little job sells the Mexican mob
Packages of candycaine

(Chorus)
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood

Cops on the corner always ignore
Somebody's getting paid
Jimmy's got it wired, Law's for hire
Got it make in the shade
Got a little hideaway, does business all day
But at night he'll always be found
Selling sugar to the sweet
People on the street
Call this Jimmy's town

(Chorus)
He's gonna be your Frankenstein

I've got one thing you'll understand
He's not what you'd call a glamorous man
Got one thing that's easily understood
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood

He'll tell you he's the king
Of these Barrio streets
Moving up to Shangri La
Came by his wealth as a matter of luck
Says he never broke no law
Two time loser running out of juice
Time to move out quick
Heard a rumour going round
Jimmy's going down
This time it's gonna stick

(Chorus)
He's gonna be your Frankenstein

Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand
Some people call him an evil man
Let him introduce himself real good
He's the only one they call "Feelgood"

Fine! You've coaxed it out of me! Happy now?

[grifyn.livejournal.com]

Now everybody, have you heard
If you're in the game, then the stroke's the word
Don't take no rhythm, don't take no style
Got a thirst for killin' - grab your vial...

Put your right hand out, give a firm handshake
Talk to me about that one big break
Spread your ear pollution both far and wide
Keep your contributions by your side and ...

Stroke me, stroke me
Could be a winner boy, you move quite well
Stroke me, stroke me
Stroke me, stroke me
You got your number down
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now

Put your left foot out, keep it all in place
Work your way right into my face
First you try to bed me, you make my backbone slide
But when you find you bled me, skip on by...

Stroke me, stroke me
Give me the business all night long...
Stroke me, stroke me
Stroke me, stroke me
You're so together boy...
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now

Better listen now, said it ain't no joke
Let your conscience fail ya, just do the stroke
Don't ya take no chances, keep your eye on top
Do your fancy dances, you can't stop you just
Stroke me, stroke me...

I mourn the phasing-out of my Megadeth-headbang-upraised devil fingers icon. It would be so useful right now.

A special shout out to Gryfin...

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

(My fave is Girls on Film, but this song has the craziest lyrics. Seriously. WTF? How do you smell like you sound?)

Hungry Like the Wolf, Duran Duran

Darken the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is a afire
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
Woman, you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
You feel my heart, I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, al lrunning inside
And i'm hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

"Push It" by Salt N' Peppa - How this song got played at Skateworld I will simply never understand. I mean seriously, there were like 6 year old kids skating to this. Wheeeee!

R U ready?
Pum, pump, let me see you jump
Shake your rump, push it real good
Break it down with the funk
One love, like the LB say, right, right
Music Makes Us High, but you've been given shade
'Cause I stay paid, sippin' lemonade
Don't be mad 'cause I got it made
Diva-hatin' waitin' snake in the grass
Look me up and down when I pass
Vibin' with your girlfriends
Jealous of my dividends and my Benz, and my ends
Like no other butter,
Smooth like cream, I keep in milky
When I move on the scene
Got you fiending, on lock down, can't you tell?
Never fell, black queens doing it well
We be the crew that you wanna step to
Sisters with an attitude, now how my mic sounds?

1-My mic sound nice
Check one, check 2, everybody make way
Party people coming through
Throw your hands up, put 'em up
Bounce, hold steady, are you ready?

(repeat 1)

We make you burn with the hot track
Spin and scratch the hot wax
So I could grab the microphone and climax
Bars stay lean and cream keep stacking
Dr. Suess cracking the beats with no slacking
So move with the groove, makes your knees weaker
Salt-N-Pepa coming through your speaker
Hot blazing, so amazing, 150 proof raisin' the roof
Who got the juice now?
Yeah, poppa, I'm gonna break you off something proper
Show stopper like Frankie Crocker
Female phenomenon, when you get off, then put me on
Miss Jiggy, hell yeah, huh, the bom digi
Microphone check one, 2, brand new coming through
You know how we do, stay on point like a needle
Who are you to judge like Ito?
Recognize Salt-N-Pep's stello
(repeat 1, 1)

I'm about to make the whole world bounce
Make it freaky 'til you're drippin'
Salt-N-Peppa got me in the VI sippin'
On the dance floor, nonstop how we movin' in
Game so tight, lubrication couldn't loosen it
B.L.A.Q the bomb
Y'all know Chi-Ca, Chi-Co who matching my flow
Shake what your momma created until it hurt ya
Daddy came to freak it down
And work ya, what time is it?
P to the E to the P to the A
Lay my game down precise like every day
Display many styles for years I've been here

Iced out sex appeal I put your lights out
Pull your mics out, we rock the party
Freak your body, no need for a shottie
I'm gonna make you sweat all night, hold tight
All heads turn when I snatch the mic
Send the party into orbit
Coppin' drop tops 'cause I can afford it
Ain't nothing, party over here
What you doing on the other side?
We came here to get live, take a ride
With the S and the P, hey, pep mc
Shine every time just like the Lex be
You wanna test me, don't floss

We got the flow tha'll break you off
Decent, leave you locked like the precinct
How we get down worldwide
Everybody know about the sound
Let it pound in your system one time
All up in your mind how we shine? Genuine
(rpt 1, 1, 1, 1)

ALL COUPLE SKATE. ALL COUPLE SKATE.

True, by Spandau Ballet

So true
funny how it seems
always in time, but never in line for dreams
head over heels,when toe to toe
this is the sound of my soul
this is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world
but now I've come back again
why do I find it hard to write the next line
when I want the truth to be said
I know this much is true
With a thrill in my head an a pill on my tongue
dissolve the nerves that have just begun
listening to Marvin all night long
this is the sound of my soul
this is the sound
always slipping from my hands
sand's a time of t's own

LAST SKATE - LAST SKATE

Get the boy/girl you want to make out with before your folks come pick you up! This was the most fun I've had in LJ EVER!!

When Doves Cry, by Prince

Dig if u will the picture
Of u and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can u my darling
Can u picture this?

Dream if u can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and u

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Touch if u will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase u
Even doves have pride

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold (Ya know he's 2 bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (Maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other (Why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like

When doves cry
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)

Don't Cry (Don't Cry)

When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry

When Doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry, doves cry
Don't cry
Darling don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't don't cry

There was a period there in the 80s when, every time we turned on the radio, Prince's "Raspberry Beret" came on. Without fail. Sometimes when we just THOUGHT of the song, it would come on.

Song comes on. Looks of betrayal are exchanged.
"All right! Who was thinking of the damn song?"
"I wasn't!"
"It was YOU!"
"No, no, not me!"
"I want to know who thought of the damn song!"
"Fine, it was me. I was thinking 'damn, I hope they don't play that damn 'Raspberry Beret' song."

Too lazy for lyrics, but --

I worked at the roller rink from 1979-81.

My votes would be for Blondie/Rapture and Heart of Glass, Robert John/Sad Eyes, Pretenders/Brass In Pocket, The Knack/My Sharona, Ozark Mountain Daredevils/Jackie Blue.

Also: Foghat/Slow Ride, and Styx/Renegade (men's backwards)

Robert John/Sad Eyes, Styx/Babe, and Peaches & Herb/Reunited (couples only. duh.)

grifyn sent me. Blame her for the bad memories this comment has elicited.

P.S. I'm the one on the left in the shiny red jumpsuit. ::cringes in amused shame::

I'm gonna use my arms, I'm gonna use my legs...

"Brass in Pocket" is AWESOME. But "Back on the Chain Gang" is still my favorite Pretenders song.

Okay, we talked the DJ into one more song - we waited for Dovil, but I guess she's not coming

Reunited, Peaches & Herb (the second Peaches, I belive and it is nOT Angel.)

HERB
I was a fool to ever leave your side
Me minus you is such a lonely ride
The breakup we had has made me lonesome and sad
I realize I love you 'cause I want you bad, hey, hey

PEACHES
I spent the ev'ning with the radio
Regret the moment that I let you go
Our quarrel was such a way of learnin' so much
I know now that I love you 'cause I need your touch, hey, hey

CHORUS: BOTH
Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey, hey

PEACHES
I sat here starin' at the same old wall
Came back to life just when I got your call
I wished I could climb right through the telephone line
And give you what you want so you will still be mine, hey, hey

HERB
I can't go cheatin', honey, I can't play
I found it very hard to stay away
As we reminisce on precious moments like this
I'm glad we're back together 'cause I missed your kiss, hey, hey

CHORUS: BOTH

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ba-a-a-by

Lover, lover, this is solid love
And you're exactly what I'm dreamin' of
All through the day
And all through the night
BOTH: I'll give you all the love I have with all my might, hey, hey

CHORUS: BOTH with FADE in middle

~Damn. We closing out this session of sing-n-skate, hope to see ya back here shaking yo groove thang real soon. We out!
