Lyrical Response

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

I got a little change in my pocket goin' jing-a-ling-a-ling
Wants to call you on the telephone baby, a-give you a ring
But each time we talk, I get the same old thing
Always no hug-ee no kiss-ee until I get a weddin' ring

My honey my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself

[row_33]

What would people think?
What if people knew?
Instead of bein' off to school
All day I was with you

Makin' lo-ove, makin' love
Makin' lo-ove, makin' love

[WhoTom]

You take my body
I give you heat
You say you're hungry
I give you meat
I suck your mind
You blow my head
Make love
Inside your bed
Everybody

Get down make love

 

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Every morning there's a halo hangin
From the corner of my girlfriend's four post bed
I know it's not mine but I'll see if I can use it for
The weekend or a one-night stand

 

Couldn't understand
How to work it out
Once again as predicted left my broken heart open
And you ripped it out

 

Something's got me reeling
Stopped me from believing
Turn me around again
Said that we can do it
Why'know I want to do it again

[Gray Beard]

Well woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream I don't believe where I've been
Come on, let's do it again

 

Do you, you, feel like I do? (how'd ya feel?)
Do you, you, feel like I do?

 

My friend got busted, just the other day
They said, "don't walk, don't walk, don't walk away"
Drove him to a taxi, bent the boot, hit the bag
Had to play some music, otherwise he'd just crash

 

[WhoTom]

Sittin' and starin' out of the hotel window.
Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again.
I'd like to get some sleep before I travel,
But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in.

Busted, down on Bourbon Street.

Set up, like a bowlin' pin.
Knocked down, it gets to wearin' thin.

They just won't let you be, oh no.

 

[Gray Beard]

At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

 

My my my Delilah
Why why why Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more

[Another Fan]

Hey there, Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
What you do to me

 

(Note: I couldn't stand this song when it was on the radio every day years back.) 

[SinceThe70s]

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns

'Cause he's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone (all alone)
All alone in her time of need

 

 

[KD in CA]

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

 

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

[SinceThe70s]

Jenny jenny who can I turn to
You give me something I can hold on to
I know you'll think I'm like the others before
Who saw your name and number on the wall

[Gray Beard]

 

I was searchin' (searchin') on a one-way street
I was hopin' (hopin') for a chance to meet
I was waitin' for the operator on the line
(She's gone so long)
What can I do?
(Where could she be?)
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you

 

You gotta slow down (slow down), sweet talkin' woman
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'
Hold on (hold on), sweet talkin' lover
It's so sad if that's the way it's over

[ExiledInIllinois]

Well, I've spent a lifetime lookin' for you;
singles bars and good time lovers were never true.
Playin' a fools game hopin' to win; 
and tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again.
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places,
Lookin' for love in too many faces,
searchin' their eyes and lookin' for traces
of what I'm dreamin' of.
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover;
I'll bless the day I discover 
another heart lookin' for love.

[WhoTom]

We walk away with memories
And clutch them to our hearts
We're disembodied entities
We move in fits and starts
For burning wine
Intoxicates,
And takes all caution in its flames
All lovers are deranged.

 

 

[Gray Beard]

Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were

 

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?

 

Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were

[KD in CA]

She was seaside sittin', just a smokin' and a drinkin' on ringside,
On top of the world, oh, yeah
She had her drink in her hand she had her toes in the sand and whoa,
What a beautiful girl, ah, yeah
What a sweet talkin' honey with a little bit of money can turn your head around
Creatures from the sea with the look to me like she'd like to fool around
What a snappy little mammy gonna keep her pappy happy
And accompany me to the ends of the earth, ah, yeah that't what I said

 

Here I am, ain't no man of the world, no
All I need is a beautiful girl
Ah, yeah beautiful girls

[WhoTom]

One summer day
She went away
She up and left me
She gone to stay
But now she gone
And I don't worry
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world

 

[SinceThe70s]

It must be summer
'Cause the days are long
And I dial your number
But you're gone, gone, gone
I'd set out searching
But the car won't start
And it must be summer
'Cause I'm falling apart

 

I try your sister
On the Jersey Shore
She said you might be stopping by
But she's not sure
So I call your mother
On Long Island Sound
She said it must be summer
'Cause you're never around

[Gray Beard]

Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop

 

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

 

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

[WhoTom]

Dance all night and whirl your hair
Make the night cats stop and stare
Dance all night, go to work
Do the move with a quirky jerk

Shake it up
