----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The back fence gossip ain't been this good
Since Mabel ran off with Tom
#01)
As the trees reach for the sun above
So my arms reach out to you for love
#02)
Come on home to your adobe
And slap some mud on the wall
The roof is leaking like a strainer
There's loads of roaches in the hall
#03)
Listen, mister, can't you see I got to get back to my baby once more
#04)
You got me sewed up like a pillow case
But you let my love go to waste
#05)
Yesterday's love was like a warm summer breeze
But like the weather, you changed
#06)
Out in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
#07)
Stars appear and shadows a-fallin'
You can hear my heart a-callin'
#08)
As I took those steps
Toward that open door
Knowing all the time
Oh Lord, I just didn't wanna go
#09)
But a little gold ring you wear on your hand
Makes me understand
#10)
That rockin' music you call bad
Was just about all Johnny had
But with a shout
You threw it out
And so you made your Johnny sad
#11)
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
#12)
I'm going downtown to Joey's place
And I know it darlin', I'm gonna walk right in and I'll see your face
Yes, you'll be dancing with someone new
Here comes the pain
#13)
Along came a native girl
Did a native dance
It was like in paradise
Put me in a trance
#14)
Grew up in a rusty shack
All I had was hangin' on my back
#15)
Now, I'm not one that gets around
I swear my feet stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before
#16)
Hello there, female
My, my, but you do look swell
#17)
If I can't reach up and know that you'll be there
Then this old world ain't spinnin' anywhere
#18)
Ah-her name drives me insane
#19)
Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
#20)
Sunny afternoons that made me feel so warm inside
Have turned as cold and gray as ashes
As I feel the embers die
#21)
Exactly what you say
In that very special way
#22)
She left you last night
And today you called me on the phone
Asked me if you could come over
'Cause you didn't want to be alone
#23)
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
#24)
What happened to the world we knew?
When we would dream and scheme and while the time away
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
Use your arms for lovin' me
Baby, that's the way it's gotta be
#T1)
She's in my way every day
What can I say? How can I play?
She won't let me be
Oh, can't you see?
I'm going to chase her away - shoo!
#T2)
