I don’t buy what I make, don’t give but I take it from you.
Well the most that I want is all you’ve got and that’s true.
I can help you along with a smile and a song, oh yeah.
But you’re out on your own and you ain’t gonna get nowhere.
Chorus
Are you man enough, are you man enough,
Are you man enough for me?
Are you man enough, are you man enough
Are you man enough for me?
Sweet smell of success sure got you into a mess,
But the smoke in your eyes don ’t tell you no lies.
Now it’s plain to see that were gonna stay number one,
It ain’t just for money, no, you know that we do it for fun.

She got the devil in her eyes
She got the devil in her eyes
She got the devil in her eyes
She got the devil in her eyes
I’ve seen through your lies,
So thinly disguised.
When you try to fool me
You only treat me mean and cruelly.
You thought you were smart,
You captured my heart.
I remember my friends said,
“Hey man, you must be out of your head”
Chorus
She got the devil in her eyes
I’m sure she’ll make you realise
One grab and then you blow your mind
On the level there’s a devil in her eyes
I must’ve been blind
To fall for your kind
But each time we break up
You come around to kiss and make up
You thought you were smart
You captured my heart
I remember my friends said,
Hey man, you must be out of your head”
No use pretending,
No use lying
My heart is aching
By the devil in her eyes
Chorus
Written by Phil Wainman and John Goodison (Utopia Music/Dick James Music)
Hey Momma, don’t lay it on down to me.
Hey Momma, you know how it must be.
Know the way so you don’t have to show it.
Momma don’t lay it on down to me.
Chorus
Don’t knock it. Don’t knock it.
(Play that song to me)
Don’t knock it. Don’t knock it.
(Sure sounds good to me)
Don’t you know that I’ve gotta feelings,
Thoughts inside my head start reeling.
Don’t knock it, play it to me.
Hey momma, if I dance all night s’alright.
Hey momma, and I think that it just might.
Show you the way to what’s going on.
Moving and a grooving and a rolling it along.
Hey momma, if I dance all night s’alright.
Chorus
He momma, don’t you tell me anything.
Hey momma, feelings my own just do my thing.
Don’t give a damn to what they’re saying,
My kinda music's what I’m playing.
Hey momma don't knock it, play it to me.

Spoken:
If you don’t love me now there’s nothing left for me.
I’ll sit and dream about the days that used to be.
It’s you and only you
What aches I’m going through
Cause if you care at all
Just write it on the wall.
Baby all I want is you
Another love won’t do.
Chorus
Maybe tomorrow, there’ll be a change of heart
Maybe tomorrow, we’ll make a brand new start
You may get tired of your running around
You’ll miss the love that you once found
Maybe tomorrow, you’ll be returning,
You’ll be returning to me.
If we should meet someday
Don’t look the other way
Just smile and say hello
I’ll know if I should go
Try not to think about it
Baby now I’ll live without it (live with out it)
Chorus repeat

I’ve been living down town LA.
I’ve gotta a 48 Chevrolet
But every time I put that car on view
There came a 43792 I’m a bustin' you.
43792, I’m bustin' you.
I took a bottle from a whisky still
To a fella who was feelin’ ill.
But I do recall I drank most of it too.
Well, when I was losing view,
I got a 43792, I’m bustin' you.
Now looky here.
I was making up some time,
With a chick on the country line.
Well there I was, my birthday suit on view.
There cam a knock on the window too,
And a six foot voice in blue
Said “I’m 43 792, I’m bustin’ you.”t;
43792, I’m bustin you.
Well, a friendly down town judge said,
“Son I don’t bear no grudge
But I&sequoia;d move away from here if I were you.”;
The a voice I’m sure I knew said:
“I’m getting a transfer too.
I’m keeping my eye on you.
’cos I’m a 43792, I’m bustin’ you.”
43792 I’m busing’ you.
(spoken)
Every damn chance I get
I’m gonna write your name in this little black back
’cos you’re no good for this neighbourhood
(ad lib)

Last night you turned this boy into a man
And last night you made me see what’s good for me
Your touch filled a need I never knew#
It’s too much, just one taste seems such a waste
It’s something only you can give me
It’s something only you can do
Chorus
I need a hair of the dog that bit me
I need a touch of your sweet sweet love
I need a hair of the dog that bit me
Give me your love tonight, tonight.
(repeat)
Alright, you got your bread tight in your hand
By daylight your company don't some for free
Maybe you didn’t even know my name
But baby I’ll never tame this burning flame.
It’s something only you can give me
Something only you can do
Chorus
Written by Dave Mount and D Mindel (Evolution Music/Island Music/Cherry Music)
Lucy’s a woman who lives just for kicks
And I guess I'll never change her.Does what she wants to she know all the tricks
No I’ll never rearrange her.
Chorus
La La Lucy, La La La Lucy,
I’m telling you what you gonna do
La La Lucy, La La La Lucy,
It’s all over for you, don’t you know that it’s true, because
You know I told you once before
No messing or your out that door
I mean it now and I meant it then
Ain’t gonna take you woman back again.
La La Lucy, La La Lucy,
It’s all over for you, don’t you know that it’s true.
Her time will come when she’s out on her own,
She won’t have me to depend on.
Then she’ll find out as she sits all alone,
She’s got no love to lean on.

I hurt your feelings when I said you’re kind of green,
Of an age that’s in between
And you don’t know what love means.
You think you love me.
Maybe lover has made you blind,
’cos you're full of new emotions of a young and foolish kind.
Chorus
Show me you’re a woman
'cos a woman has the kind of love I’m needing.
Show me you’re a woman,
And I’ll show you that I’m a man.
Just give me what I'm after
It’s a smile and a sound of your girlish laughter.
When you are a woman, I'm your man.
Don’t try and fool me ’cos I know about your age,
And it’s written on a page of the memories that I save
I know you’re only trying hard to do what’s right
But you’re young and so you might have to wait for Cupid’s bite.

Johnny is a joker (He’s a bird)
A very funny joker (He’s a bird)
But when he jokes my honey (He’s a dog)
His jokin’ ain’t so funny (He’s a dog)
Johnny is a joker that’s a tryin’ to steal my baby
(He’s a Bird Dog)
Chorus
Hey Bird Dog, get away from my quail,
Hey Bird Dog you’r on the wrong trail.
Bird Dog, you’d better leave my lovely dove alone.
Hey Bird Dog get away from my chick.
Hey Bird Dog you’d better get away quick.
Bird Dog you’d better find a chicken little of your own.
Johnny sings a love song (like a bird)
He sings the sweetest love song (you ever heard).
But when he sings to my gal (what a howl)
To me he’s just a wolf dog (on the prowl).
Johnny wants to fly away and puppy love my baby.
(He’s a Bird Dog)
Chorus
Johnny kissed the teacher (he’s a bird).
He tiptoed up to reach her (He’s a bird).
Well, He’s the teacher's now (what a dog).
What he wants he can get now (what a dog)
He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby.
(He’s a Bird Dog)
Chorus
Written by Boudleaux Bryant (Acuff-Rose Music Publishing)
How come you’re the kind of guy that’s crawling round the garbage in the back street.
It’s tome that you took off my friend and found yourself another night time beat.
How come that hazy twilight world came down on you and like a fog surrounds you.
Stand over here, right by my side, I’m gonna give you everything you need.
Chorus
Use your imagination, open up your eyes.
Use your imagination, c’mon and give it a try.
Use your imagination, open up your eyes.
Use your imagination, c’mon and give it a try.
How come man your drinking, slowly sinking, making hookers on the back street.
Five ’'ll get you, ten my friend, the ends you tie ain’t never gonna meet.
How come with your shining daybreak, dark clouds fell and turn the world against you.
I've said it once, I’ll tell you now, right here’s the place where you’ll find all you need.

Let’s go for a little walk, under the moon of love
Let’s sit right down and talk, under the moon of love.
I wannna tell you, that I love you
And I want you to be my girl.
Little darling let’s walk, let’s talk
Under the moon of love.
You look so lovely, under the moon of love.
Eye’s shine so brightly, under the moon of love.
Hold me close
Hold me tight
And be my love tonight.
Little darlin’ let’s walk, let’s talk, under the moon of love.
I wanna talk sweet talk
Whisper things in your ear.
I wanna tell you lots of things I know you waiting to hear
(come on little darling take my hand)
Repeat from begriming
