No Security

I got a bird what whistles
Baby got a bird
Honey got a bird - it would sing
Baby got a bird
Honey got a bird - it would sing
Without my corinna, sure don't mean
Sure don't mean a natural thing

I learned to love you baby
Honey for i call
Baby for i call your name
Baby for i call
Honey for i call your name
I love you corinna
It sure don't mean
It sure don't mean a natural thing

Have mercy, have mercy
Baby on my hard luck
Honey on my hard luck soul
Baby on my hard luck
Honey on my hard luck soul

I got a raimbow round my shoulder
Looks like silver
Shines like klondike gold

Well i love you honey
Honey tell the world
Baby tell the world i do
Honey tell the world i do
Baby tell the world i do
Ain't no woman in fourteen counties
Love me baby like the way i do

I got a bird what whistles
Baby got a bird
Honey got a bird - it would sing
Baby got a bird
Honey got a bird - it would sing
Without my corinna, sure don't mean
Sure don't mean a natural thing

I was a butcher cutting up meat
My hands were bloody i'm dying on my feet
I was a surgeon 'till i start to shake
I was a falling 'till you put on the brakes

Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now

I was a pitcher down in a slump
I was a fighter taken for a sucker punch
Feeling bad i guess i lost my spring
I was the boxer who can't get in the ring

Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey there ain't no stopping me
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now

I was a hooker losing her looks
I was a writer can't write another book
I was all dried up dying to get wet
I was a tycoon drowning in debt

Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey there ain't no stopping me
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now
Hey, hey you got me rocking now

Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl
Her eyes were hazel
And her nose were slightly curved
We spent a lonely night at the memory motel
It's on the ocean, i guess you know it well
It took a starry to steal my breath away
Down on the water front
Her hair all drenched in spray

Hannah baby was a honey of a girl
Her eyes were hazel
And her teeth were slightly curved
She took my guitar and she began to play
She sang a song to me
Stuck right in my brain

You're just a memory of a love
That used to be
You're just a memory of a love
That used to mean so much to me

She got a mind of her own
And she use it well
Well she's one of a kind
She's got a mind
She got a mind of her own
And she use it mighty fine

She drove a pick-up truck
Painted green and blue
The tires were wearing thin
She turned a mile or two
When i asked her where she headed for
"back up to boston i'm singing in a bar"
I got to fly today on down to baton rouge
My nerves are shot already
The road ain't all that smooth
Across in texas is the rose of san antone
I keep on a feeling that's gnawing in my bones

You're just a memory of a love
That used to mean so much to me
You're just a memory girl
You're just a sweet memory
And it used to mean so much to me
Sha la la la la

She got a mind of her own
And she use it well
Mighty fine, she's one of a kind

On the seventh day my eyes were all a glaze
We've been ten thousand miles
Been in fifteen states
Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind
I hit the bottle and hit the sack and cried
What's all this laughter on the 22nd floor
It's just some friends of mine
And they're busting down the door
Been a lonely night at the memory motel

I was out in the city
I was out in the rain
I was feeling down hearted
I was drinking again

I was standing by the bridges
Where the dark water flows
I was talking to a stranger
About times long ago

I was young
I was foolish
I was angry
I was vain
I was charming
I was lucky
Tell me how have i changed

Now i'm out
Oh out of control
Now i'm out
Oh out of control
Oh help me now

And the girls in the doorway
And the boys in the game
And the drunks and the homeless
They all know me

And the police on the corner
Give a nod and a wave
As they point me
To my final destination

I was young
I was foolish
I was angry
I was vain
I was charming
Feeling lucky
Tell me how have i changed

Now i'm out
Oh out of control
Now i'm out
Oh out of control
Oh help me now

In the hotel i'm excited
By the smile on her face
But i wondered
How was time
Gonna change her

I was young
I was foolish
I was angry
I was vain
I was charming
I was out there
Tell me how have i changed

Now i'm out
Oh out of control
Oh i'm out
Oh out of control

I got nasty habits, i take tea at three
Yes, and the meat i eat for dinner
Must be hung up for a week
My best friend, he shoots water rats
And feeds them to his geese
Don'cha think there's a place for you
In between the sheets?

Come on now, honey
We can build a home for three
Come on now, honey
Don't you wanna live with me?

And there's a score of harebrained children
They're all locked in the nursery
They got earphone heads they got dirty necks
They're so 20th century
Well they queue up for the bathroom
'round about 7:35
Don'cha think we need a woman's touch to make it come alive?

You'd look good pram pushing
Down the high street
Come on now, honey
Don't you wanna live with me?

Whoa, the servants they're so helpful, dear
The cook she is a whore
Yes, the butler has a place for her
Behind the pantry door
The maid, she's french, she's got no sense
She's wild for crazy horse
And when she strips, the chauffeur flips
The footman's eyes get crossed

Don'cha think there's a place for us
Right across the street
Don'cha think there's a place for you,
In between the sheets?

Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls go passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

A smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what i said
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend

Don't need a whore
I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest
But i need someone i can cry to
I need someone to protect
Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But i'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

(m. jagger/k. richards)

Well i told you once and i told you twice
But ya never listen to my advice
You don't try very hard to please me
With what you know it should be easy

Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know. oh no. oh no

Well, i'm sorry girl but i can't stay
Feelin' like i do today
It's too much pain and too much sorrow
Guess i'll feel the same tomorrow

Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know. oh no. oh no

Well i told you once and i told you twice
That someone will have to pay the price
But here's a chance to change your mind
'cuz i'll be gone a long, long time

Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know. oh no. oh no
Well, this could be the last time
