I Wanna Be Loved

You tell me that you love me
And you say you will be true
But then you’re out all night
And soon you wanna fight
What do you really want me to do?

You say that you want me baby
But you don’t know how I feel
I wanna be loved but I can be real

You tell me that you miss me
And you’re coming in a few
But then you hang up the phone
And now I’m here all alone
What do you really want me to do?

You say that you want me baby
But you don’t know how I feel
I wanna be loved but I can be real

Look here baby!
I can be real
What’d I tell ya!
I can be real

You say that you want me baby
But you don’t know how I feel
I wanna be loved but I can be real

Look here baby!
I can be real
What’d I tell ya!
I can be real

I Feel Your Presence

I just had a dream and you were there
You were counting out your share
All your precious lines are now on file
I see them right beside your smile, tonight
I feel your presence here tonight

Was your visit planned or just a token?
Is your message still unspoken?
You have always been on this scene
You are the end and the means, the archetype
I feel your presence here tonight

Why aren’t you satisfied? You have so much
Where did you find that magic touch
All your precious lines have made it clear
You have nothing left to fear, Or fight
I feel your presence here tonight

I feel your presence
I feel your presence
I feel your presence here tonight, tonight, tonight

Florentine

Florentine… You're so far away
But this love of ours will never fade
Florentine… I wait and I pray
For the right to bring you home someday

Why does this government want so much to keep us apart?
Is there not just one who can feel this true love in our hearts?

My faith is burning bright and all in this world can see
I know somehow someway Heaven will bring you to me

Florentine… You're so far away
But this love of ours will never fade
Florentine… I wait and I pray
For the right to bring you home someday

For this love of ours will never fade

Rain Tonight

It was midnight
Laura Mae sat at the door
A man was trying to sell me
Something I could not afford
  He said it looks like rain tonight.

There were two men
at the bar most of the night.
One was looking crazy,
the other just not quite right.
  I said it looks like rain tonight.

She was steely-eyed
with a smile full of regret.
She winked as she assumed
that I would jump to light her cigarette.
  She said it looks like rain tonight.

The door flew open and the fool blew in
I heard Momma say, “Don't tell me that again!”
I headed for the corner ‘cause
I knew that didn't sound right.
   I said it looks like rain tonight.

Don't Know How To Love You

I don't know how to love you anymore than I have
I don't know how to love you anymore than I have

I whisper sweet things
Baby in your ear
I make sure that I act my best
whenever you are near

I said I don't know how to love you
(don't know how to love you)
Any more than I have

I placed you on a pedestal
way up in the sky
I never look at another girl
I'm always home on time

I said I don't know how to love you
(don't know how to love you)
Any more than I have

I'm workin hard not runnin around
and out chooglin all night
I bring you everything
that my money can buy

I said I don't know how to love you
(don't know how to love you)
Any more than I have
Any more than I have
Any more than I have

I’ve Been There

I’ve been there many times before.
I’ve been there. I’ve been…
Doubting everything that I thought I knew.
I’ve been led astray and washed ashore.
Longing for the day when I knew what to do.
What to fear and what to ignore.

I’ve been there many times before.
I’ve been there. I’ve been…
Cast aside, given up and left for good.
I’ve been all alone and talking to myself.
Longing for a day when I know where I stood.
Taken down or left on the shelf.

I’ve been there many times before.
I’ve been there. I’ve been...
Standing on the dark side of epiphany.
I’ve been lost and found in my own scheme.
Searching for a path that might recover me.
Still I was holding on to my dream.

I’ve been there many times before.
I’ve been there. I’ve been… 
Standing at the crossroads of calamity
I’ve been riding high. I’ve been laying low.
Walking on a tightrope of audacity.
Still I am driving on bloody but unbowed.

I’ve been there many times before.
I’ve been there. I’ve been there.

River of Shame

You’re gonna drown in a river of shame
You’re gonna drown in a river of shame
You're gonna pay for your evil ways
You're gonna drown in a river of shame
You've been runnin round late at night
kiss all the boys let em hold you tight
You're gonna drown in a river of shame

I told you once. Baby, I told you twice
I told you once. Baby, I told you twice.
I don’t need you staying out late at night
I told you twice. Baby, I told you twice.
I've had enough of you runnin around
this time I'm gonna put you down
You're gonna drown in a river of shame

You're gonna drown in a river of shame
You're gonna drown in a river of shame
You're gonna lay on the bottom and pray
You're gonna drown in a river of shame
I'm gonna wrap a chain around you
throw you in the river see what you gonna do
You're gonna drown in a river of shame

Take Me Back to Libertalia

Sitting by the avenue.
She waits for me; she thinks of you.
And all the things that you could not do.
Too many ways to quarantine
Too many strays in between
Too many days staring at a blue screen
Take me back to Libertalia

Sunsets and silhouettes
No worries and no regrets
No social debt and damn little Internet
Free to stand and free to sit
No tax and no permit
No traffic jam and no speed limit
Take me back to Libertalia

Breath deep, relax unwind
Take it easy and you might find
A state of grace and peace of mind.
Sailboats and white Rum floats
Turquoise shore and corral moats
Where you can toke whatever kind of herb you smoke
Take me back to Libertalia

Freedom!

From the fields at Runnymede to the shores of the TST,
from Selma to Montgomery…
We cry Freedom! (Freedom!)

In the Ascent of Man no Truth is greater than…
it was always the plan…
To have Freedom! (Freedom!) Freedom! (Freedom!)

From the Prise de la Bastille to the Warsaw Uprising
and the beaches of Normandy…
We cry Freedom! (Freedom!) Freedom! (Freedom!)

Peace and prosperity are the fruits of liberty.
To be all that we can be…
We need Freedom (Freedom!) Freedom! (Freedom!)

From the plays of Aristophanes to John Mill’s On Liberty,
Havana to Miami…
We cry Freedom! (Freedom!)

The God who gave us light to see wrong from the right
intended that we should fight…
For our Freedom! (Freedom!) Freedom! (Freedom!)

Fight for our Freedom! (Freedom!) Freedom! (Freedom!)
For our Freedom! (Freedom!) Freedom!

The Words (Just Get in the Way)

Many times I’ve tried to tell you
Many dues I’ve tried to pay
Many ways I’ve tried to spell you
But the words just get in the way
The words just get in the way

Many times I’ve tried to cheer you
Many fears I’ve tried to slay
Many ways I’ve tried to steer you
But the words just get in the way
The words just get in the way

Many times I’ve tried to stir you
Many prayers I’ve tried to say
Many ways I’ve tried to spur you
But the words just get in the way
The words just get in the way

Many times I’ve tried to spare you
Many dreams I’ve tried to sway
Many ways I’ve tried to dare you
But the words just get in the way
The words just get in the way
