Ain't nobody (Gary Moore)

Reason To Lie copyright Michael R. Shannon 1991

Did you really want me to tell you
That her body is firm as steel
Did you really want me to describe our loving
If you want me to I will

I've been hiding the truth about her
But, I guess I'm just easy to read
She's my callipygian Venus
She's got everything I need
Darling, I had a reason to lie

I didn't want to hurt your feelings
I didn't want to make you cry
But, I've got to have her loving
If I don't I just might die

So, I know you feel betrayed
And, it's time for me to go
You lost your man to another
If you met her you would know
Why I had a reason to lie
-solos-

So, I know you feel betrayed
And, it's time for me to go
You lost your man to another
If you met her you would know
Why I had a reason to lie
Why I had a reason to lie
Why I had a reason to lie
Why I had a reason to lie
Why I had a reason to lie

Just Too Cool copyright Michael R. Shannon

See that dame, I can tell at a glance
She's a chick that knows how to dance
She's just too cool, she's just too cool
She's just too cool, and man, she really can swing

See that cat with the nervous feet
He's a cat that moves with the beat
He's just too cool, he's just too cool
He's just too cool, and man that cat really swings

The joint is rockin' they're havin' a ball
Packed with swingers from wall to wall
The band is smokin' the music's so hot
Grab who's ever near, show what you've got

It's just too cool. it's just too cool
It's just too cool, and man this joint really rocks
-solo-
It's just too cool. it's just too cool
It's just too cool, and man this joint really rocks
-solo-

It's just too cool. it's just too cool
It's just too cool, and man this joint really rocks
It's just too cool. it's just too cool
It's just too cool, and man this joint really rocks

15 Minuter From Spent copyright Michael R. Shannon 1991

Well, I'm 15 minutes from spent
Baby, what you want me to do?
Well. I'm 15 minutes from spent
Honey, why can't you be true

You got me running ragged
Just to keep you high
You'll be out all night long
With some other guy

Well, I'm 15 minutes from spent
Baby, what you want me to do?
Well. I'm 15 minutes from spent
Honey, why can't you be true

Crying, lying, in my face
That's all you seem to do
I've had it with your cheating ways
Can't you see we're through
-solo-
Well, if I had some money
I'd leave you right away
Baby, I just ain't ready
For the games you play

Well, I'm 15 minutes from spent
Baby, what you want me to do?
Well. I'm 15 minutes from spent
Honey, why can't you be true

What You're Looking For

15 Minutes From Spent

Lose the Night copyright Michael R. Shannon

He feels so horribly all alone
And though his shoes are pointed home
He's got a job that he must do
An honest man, he'll see it through
Her heart is beating in her throat
As she buttons up her overcoat
And as the tears burn in her eyes
She wears a smile as her disguise

Let's lose the night, burn it into daylight
Don't worry it'll be all right
There'll be others, so let's lose the night

They work the jobs no one else will do
Sweatin' bullets they dodge'em too
They keep it simple, keep it real
Never complain they're made of steel

Let's lose the night, burn it into daylight
Don't worry it'll be all right
There'll be others, so let's lose the night
-solo-

Bad times will come, and rain must fall
Into our lives, yes, one and all
But live your dreams, and fight the fight
Shout it loud, you can lose the night

Let's lose the night, doing what we feel right
Don't worry it'll be all right
There'll be others, so let's lose tonight
Let's lose the night, doing what we feel right
Don't worry it'll be all right
There'll be others, so let's lose the night
Don't worry it'll be all right
There'll be others, so let's lose tonight
