Little South Of Sanity

There was a time
When i was brokehearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned - yeah
'cause me and them ways have parted
That kinda love was the killin' kind
(so listen)

All i want is someone i can't resist
I know - all i - need to know
By the way i got kissed

I was cryin' when i met you
Now i'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now i'm dyin' 'cause i let you
Do what you do down on me

Now there's not even breathing room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when we're makin' love
Must be one and the same

It's down on me
Yeah, i got to tell you something
It's been on my mind, girl i gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you do to me takes my breath away

Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
That's a fire i can't resist

I was cryin' when i met you
Now i'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now i'm dyin' 'cause i let you
Do what you do to me

'cause what you got inside
Ain't where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
'til you give your heart away

I was cryin' when i met you
Now i'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now i'm dyin' just to let you
Do what you do, what you do down on me
Baby, baby, baby

I was cryin' when i met you
Now i'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' when i met you
Now i'm dyin' 'cause i let you
Do what you do down to, down to, down to

I was cryin' when i met you
Now i'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery

Come 'ere baby

You know you drive me up the wall
The way you make good for all the nasty tricks you pull
Seems like we're makin' up more than we're makin' love
And it always seems you've got something on your mind
Other than me
Girl, you gotta change your crazy ways - you hear me

Say you're leavin' on the seven thirty train
And that you're heading out to hollywood
Girl, you've been givin' me that line so many times
It kinda gets that feelin' bad looks good

That kinda lovin' turns a man to a slave
That kinda lovin' sends a man right to his grave
N
(chorus)
I go crazy, crazy, baby, i go crazy
You turn it on - then you're gone
Yeah you drive me crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
What can i do, honey
I feel like the color blue

You're packin' up your stuff
And and talkin' like it's tough
And tryin' to tell me
That it's time to go
But i know you ain't wearin' nothin' underneath that
Overcoat and that it's all a show

That kinda lovin' makes me wanna pull down the shade,
Yeah
That kinda lovin' yeah, now i'm never gonna be the same

(chorus)

I'm losing my mind
Girl, 'cause i'm goin' crazy

I need your love, honey, yeah
I need your love

(repeat chorus)

I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy
To see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When i was goin' insane
Tryin' to walk through the pain

And when i lost my grip
And i hit the floor
Yeah, i tought i could leave
But couldn't get out the door
I was so sick n' tired
Of livin' a lie
I was wishing that i would die

(chorus)
It's amazing
With the blink of an eye
You finally see the light
It's amazing
That when the moment arrives
You know you'll be alright
It's amazing
And i'm saying a prayer
To the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot's a permanent vacation
And a how high can you fly with broken wings
Life's a journey - not a destination
And i just can't tell just what tomorrow brings

You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But i just couldn't listen
To all that righteous talk
I was out on the street
Just tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay alive

(chorus)

"to all of you people out there
Wherever you are - remember:
The light at the end of the tunnel
May be you - goodnight"

You wonder why you got holes in your shoes
You wonder why they got more money than you
You wonder why you got nothin' to lose
It makes no sense, don't try to figure it out

You gotta - walk on down
Walk on down - walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down - walk on down - walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Yeah, huh

Well, she says that she loves you
In your mind there's no doubt
You feel like a stranger
When the lights go out
As you lie there awake you think
'this ain't no gift'
Don't try to figure
That weight's to heavy to lift

You gotta - walk on down
Walk on down - walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down - walk on down
'cause i got no time to lose
It's my life if i choose
Put on my walking shoes

Walk on down - walk on down - walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down - walk on down - walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down

(i'm dreaming tonight, i'm leaving back home)
Right!

Take me back to a south tallahassee
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Gotta get back to the real nitty gritty

Yes sir, no sir
Don't come close to my
Home sweet home
Can't catch no dose
Of my hot tail poon tang sweetheart
Sweathog ready to make a skilk purse
From a j paul getty and his ear
With her face in the beer

Home sweet home

Get out in the field
Put the mule in the stable
Ma she's a cookin'
Put the eats on the table
Hate's in the city
And my love's in the meadow
Hands on the plow
And my feets in the getto

Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothing
Ain't no good when boss man's
Stuffin' down their throats
With paper notes
As babies cry
When you're rockin' in the street

Home sweet home

Mama, take me home sweet home

I was the last child
Just a punk in the streets

(repeat)

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the cover
Still i talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen noting
'till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways

I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times i can remaniesse
'cause the best thing lovin'
With her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, like this!

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin' like you just didn't care

So i took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
And i know love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Ah, just give me a kiss - like this!

School girl sadie with the classy kinda sassy
Little skirt climbing way up her knees
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When i noticed they was lookin' at me

I was a high school loser
Never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me something i missed
Then my next door neighbour
With a daughter had a favour
So i gave her just a little kiss, like this!

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin' like you just didn't care

So i took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Just give me a kiss - like this!

I'm down a one way street
With a one night stand
With a one track mind
Out in no man's land
The punishment sometimes
Don't seem to fit the crime

Yeah there's a hole in my soul
But one thing i've learned
For every love letter written
There's another one burned
So you tell me how it's gonna be this time

Is it over?
Is it over?
'cause i'm blowin' out the flame

Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns
The knife inside of me

Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there, girl
Yeah i swear, i'm telling you, girl yeah 'cause

(chorus)
There's a hole in my soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul
Yeah, i should have known better
'cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Yeah, yeah

I'm as dry as a seven year drought
I got dust for tears
Yeah i'm all tapped out
Sometimes i feel broken and can't get fixed

I know there's been all kinds of shoes
Underneath your bed
Now i sleep with my boots on
But you're still in my head
And something tells me this time
I'm down to my last licks

'cause if it's over
Then it's over
And it's driving me insane

Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns
The knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there, girl, yeah, i swear
I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause

(chorus)

Yeah, is it over?
Yeah, it's over
And i'm blowing out the flame

Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns
The knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there, girl, yeah, i swear
I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause

(chorus)

Oh, oh...

(good night taj...good night chelsie!)

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm
Come on

(chorus)
Lovin' you has got to be
(take me to the other side)
Like the devil in the deep blue sea
(take me to the other side)
Forget about your foolish pride
(take me to the other side)
Oh take me to the other side
(take me to the other side)

My mama told me there'd be days like this
And man she wasn't foolin'
'cause i just can't believe the way you kiss
You opened up your moth with bated breath
You said you'd never leave me
You love me, you hate me, i tried to take the loss
You're cryin' me a river but i got to get across

(chorus)

I'm lookin' for another kind of love
Oh lordy, how i need it
The kind that likes to leap without a shove
Oh honey, best believe it
To save a lot of time and foolish pride
I'll say what's on my mind, girl
You love me, you hate me, you cut me down to size
You blinded me with love and, yeah, it opened up my eyes

Lovin' you has got to be
(take me to the other side)
Like the devil and the deep blue sea
(take me to the other side)
My conscience got to be my guide
(take me to the other side)
Oh honey, take me, take me, take, take, take, take

Take me to the other side
I'm lookin' for another kind of love
Oh, lordy, how i need it
The kind that likes to leap without a shove
Honey, you best believe it
Now i ain't one for saying long goodbyes
I hope all is forgiven
You loved me, you hate me, i used to be your lover
You know you had it coming, girl
So take me to the other side
Take me to the other side, take me to the other side

Lovin' you has got to be
(take me to the other side)
Like the devil and the deep blue sea
(take me to the other side)
My conscience got to be my guide
(take me to the other side)
Oh honey, take me to the other side

(chorus)

There goes my old girlfriend
There's another diamond ring
And a all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing
So baby, what's the story
Did you find another man
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made
When you don't look back i guess
The feelings start to fade away
I used to feel your fire
But now it's cold inside
And you're back on the street
Like you didn't miss a beat, yeah

(corus)
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep
In the night, withouth thinkin' you lost
Everything that was good in your life
To the toss of a dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go

Yeah,

Girl, before i met you, i was f.i.n.e - fine
But your love made me a prisoner
Yeah, my heart's been doing time
You spent me up like money
Then you hung me out to dry
It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
'cause you had me in deep
With the devil in your eyes

(chorus)

Guitar!

Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me that it's better when you're all alone
Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch
Tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that much
Tell me you ain't dying
When you're cryin' for me

(repeat chorus)

Tell me who's to blame for thinkin' twice
'cause i don't wanna burn in paradise
Oh, let it go, let it go...

I don't wanna burn....

Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound of my gun
Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound, it's the sound...
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah....

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do
What did he put you through

They say when janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue
What did her daddy do

He jacked the little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under
The lightnin' and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the rain

Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do
It's janie's las i.o.u.

She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believes me
The man was such a sleeze
He ain't never gonna be the same

Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Everybody is on the run

Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody's on the run (honey, honey what's your problem)
'cause janie's got a gun (tell me it ain't right)
Janie's got a gun (was it daddys cradle robbin')
Her dog day's just begun (that made you scream at night)
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody's on the run
Janie's got a gun

Workin' like a dog for the boss man
Workin' for the company
I'm bettin' on the dice i'm tossin'
I'm gonna have a fantasy

But where am i gonna look
They tell me that love is blind
I really need a girl like an open book
To read between the lines

(chorus)
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up whn i'm goin' down
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up till i hit the ground

Jackie's in the elevator
Lingerie second floor
She said 'can i see you later
And love you just a little more'

I kinda hope we get stuck
Nobody gets out alive
She said 'i'll show you how to fax
In the mailroom, honey
And have you home by five'

(chorus)

In the air, in the air, honey one more time
Now it ain't fair
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up when i'm goin' down

Love in an elevator
Goin' down

(chorus)

Gonna be a penthouse pauper
Gonna be a millionare
I'm gonna be a real fast talker
And have me a love affair

Gotta get my timin' right
It's a test that i gotta pass
I'll chase you all the way to stairway, honey
Kiss your sassafrass

Cruised into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced a grime on his door
She a long lost love at first sight
Baby, mabye you're wrong
But you know it's all right - that's right

Back stage we're having the time
Of our lives until somebody says
'forgive me if i seem out of line'
Then she whipped out a gun
Tried to blow me away

(chorus)
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady

So never judge a book by its cover
Or who you gonna love by your lover
Love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a venus
Lord, imagine my surprise

(chorus)

(baby let me follow you down)
Let me take a peak dear
(baby let me follow you down)
Do me, do me, do me all night
(baby let me follow you down)
Turn the other cheek dear
(baby let me follow you down)
Do me, do me, do me, sue me

What a funky lady
Oh, she like it, like it, like it, like it
Oh, he was a lady

(repeat chorus)
