A Bad Case of Loving You


I'm burnin' up with fever, can’t control my temperature
There’s no need to call the doctor cuz I don't want no cure
Because this feeling that you give me is something so brand new
And I don’t want to get over this bad case of loving you

Just promise me darling, you’ll always be true
Then forever and always I’ll love only you
I never knew love could feel like this
And all it took was your touch and tender kiss 

I went and told my brother, but ain’t nothing he could say
Don’t need counsel from my preacher because the only thing I pray
Is this feeling that you give me will last my whole life through
No I don’t want to get over this bad case of loving you

Just promise me darling, you’ll always be true
Then forever and always I’ll love only you
I never knew love could feel like this
And all it took was your touch and tender kiss 

I just want this feeling to last my whole life through
No, I don’t want to get over this bad case of loving you
All I want is you
Baby all I need is you.

A Bad Case of Loving You

  A Little Bit of Crying

I’ve grown tired of your excuses, I already know just where you’ve been
Getting truth from you is elusive as a pot of gold at a rainbow’s end
Don’t come telling me you’re sorry and you’re gonna change your ways
Because I treat you like a Ferrari when I only earn a used car’s pay

A little bit of cryin’ used to help you get your way
But now I know that you’ve been lying, I know about the games you play 
So, I won’t be on my knees begging you to stay 
And a little bit of cryin’ ain’t gonna help you out today

Don’t I treat you like a lady? So why do you want to break my pride?
How funny your name is Mercedes, because you really took me for a ride

Well a little bit of cryin’ used to help you get your way
But now I know that you’ve been lying, I know about the games you play 
I won’t be on my knees begging you to stay 
Because a little bit of cryin’ ain’t gonna help you out today

I’ve already blocked your number on my phone
I’m better off without you and on my own 

I won’t be on my knees begging you to stay
Because a little bit of cryin’, a little bit of crying, a little bit of cryin 
Just ain’t gonna help you out today

A Little Bit of Crying

Footprints in The Sand

Awoke to news this morning that you left us all behind
Gone without a warning, much too soon, before your time
Let me say my brother now you fly among the doves
I hope you know how much I will miss you, hope you knew how much you were loved

Now life goes on without you, it’s just part of the great design
But please don’t ever doubt you will ever be far out of mind
We’ll work through the sorrow and find a reason to smile again
And look beyond tomorrow when we’ll meet again my friend

And though I can’t touch you anymore, I know you’re walking thru Heaven’s door
I know he’ll lead you by the hand to take your place with the boys in the band
No it will never be the same when somebody mentions your name
I’m feeling lost and my heart feels hollow, so I will follow your footprints in the sand

Footprints In The Sand

Mama Tell Me The Story Again

I reflect on those golden times when Mama would sit down and read a nursery rhyme
Hey Mama, tell me the story again
Little Bo Peep had lost her sheep, before the story ended I went fast asleep
Hey Mama tell me the story again

Like when Old King Cole was a merry old soul with his fiddlers’ three
And the one about the Emperor who had no clothes, what a silly fool was he

And it gave me such a thrill, when Jack & Jill came tumbling back down the hill
Hey Mama, tell me the story again
Jack was nimble, Jack was quick jumping over his candlesticks
Hey Mama, tell me the story again

Does Little Jack Horner still sit in the corner having his Christmas pie?
When Georgie Porgie kissed the little girls, why did they have to cry?

Now it seems I’m lost in time, in between my sanity and losing my mind
Hey Mama tell me the story again
They think I don’t know the truth but in my mind I’m happy back in my youth
Hey Mama, tell me the story again.

Mary, Mary you're quite contrary how does your garden grow?
And Little Boy Blue fell fast asleep in the haystack with no horn to blow

I’m much older and my days are long, I’ve known for years that Mama’s dead and gone
But Mama, tell me the story again
I can see her by the window there, reading to me softly in her rocking chair
Hey Mama, tell me the story again
Please Mama, tell me the story again.

Mama Tell Me The Story Again

Dedicated to friend & mentor Herbert E. Allen.
Music was his soul.
You are forever in my heart.

Here In My Heart 

So many things that I wanted to say
But somehow the words got in the way 
But when I think of you, it brings a smile
And it’ll carry me through for a little while

I’ll dance to your tune in the morning rain
Let it wash away the pain
I’ll sing your song for the world to hear
So that a part of you will stay right here in my heart

Your life here on this earth was guided from above
Now you’re flying home on wings of love
I’m gonna miss that twinkle in your eyes
And It’s so hard to tell you goodbye

I’ll dance to your tune in the morning rain
Let it wash away the pain
I’ll sing your song for the world to hear
So that a part of you will always stay right here in my heart

And although it brings a tear
So now my friend we must part
And I will always hold you dear

I’ll dance to your tune in the morning rain
Let it wash away the pain
I’ll sing your song for the world to hear
So that a part of you will always stay right here in my heart
