I've Only Gone And Done It

Better Not Be Too Real 
 
Words and Music by Don Billow

 
Yeah I’m trying to see through your disguise
I know you're in there but you’re hard to recognize
Maybe I’m afraid to be part of you and all of me
Maybe it's just too much to expect 
Or is it really lack of faith that has me wrecked
 
You better not be too real
Your safer as a fantasy that I can conceal
But Ok let’s play
Take me where you want today
But you better not 
Better not be too real
 
I keep on looking for the magic that puts us right
You lay it out there then you say I need to fight
Lay it out for me lay it out 
Promise me you’ll let me in only when I tell you when
Don't touch too much leave my doubt alone 
You’re playing games inside my soul too close to home


You better not be too real
Your safer as a fantasy that I can conceal
But Ok let’s play
Take me where you want today
But you better not 
Better not be too real

Better not be my inspiration 
Better not see my flesh and blood
Better not ask me to show you
What we might be 
I wish I could be what you need

Shoulda known better than to let you in
Shoulda known better than to check me out
Shoulda known better
Shoulda known better
 
Shoulda known better than to let you in
Shoulda known better than to check me out
Shoulda known better
Shoulda known better


Better not be too real
Better not be 
Better not be too real
Better not be

Better not be too real
Stand up speak for yourself
Better not be
Get up and stand your ground

Better not be too real
Stand up speak for yourself
Better not be
Get up and stand your ground

Better Not Be Too Real

Back in 2008 gas prices were way high, and Lisa came to me with this idea. Lisa is the lead singer, I sing backup, and Mr Mystic does a short Deejay near the end.  SusieCool

Pain in the butt, Pain in the neck
pain in the knee, what the heck
a hundred pains that make me grump
But nothing great as the pain at the pump

I had a headache past time to go
I slammed the car door on my toe
a four letter word just slipped out
the little one laughed, and screamed it out
my head is throbbing to the beat
My toe’s a mess, starts to bleed
I’m 10 minutes late where I should be
And the gas is smack on “E”
I held back from crying till I saw that sign

Pain in the neck Pain in the rump
Pain in the back Pain at the pump (repeat)

Mobile, Exxon, Chevron, Shell
Three, four dollars plus…what the hell?
As if they need more of my dough,
a car wash too? The answer,  NO!
The numbers keep on rolling 
Seventy, eighty, ninety nine
The jackpot’s high, but my bank account 
is at the bottom line
suddenly that hummer, not so cool, mm mm bummer
		CHORUS

Scrolling, numbers keep on like slot machines
only problem is all I got is 
A couple quarters left in my jeans  
Oh those guys are grinning, winning 
They think they’re going to get me
But the numbers keep on spinning
Forget this SUV I’m buying a hybrid

Pain in the neck Pain in the rump
Pain in the back Pain at the pump (Repeat and fade)

Pain at the Pump

Linger   © 2009 Lisa Firestone, my litle muse, BMI

 	Oh how I love,  oh how I love
	oh how I love to linger with you
	Oh how I love,  oh how I love
	oh how I love to linger with you

Listen my lover there's a chorus of bees
looking for hungry flowers to please
a bucket of sunshine’s pouring through
my window pane

I really should go, got so much to do
but nothin' feels better than
bein’ right here spoonin' with you

	Oh how I love,  oh how I love
	oh how I love to linger with you
	Oh how I love,  oh how I love
	oh how I love to linger with you

I’ve got twenty five things on my to do
and just can't get outta bed with you
‘cause when I try to make my move
I get tackled again

Tangled in blankets, baby, it’s bliss
Feels like heaven when you lure me 
with your sweet kiss

	Oh how I love,  oh how I love
	oh how I love to linger with you
	Oh how I love,  oh how I love
	oh how I love …

the fan is swaying to and fro
like bossa nova hips
trail your lazy fingers 
over my curves
and dips

	CHORUS 2x

Linger With You
