2. _ Don't Mess With Me
Fly like an eagle,
An outlaw of the sun,
Stealing 'round your bedroom door
A case of hit 'n run.
Sinner, sinner,
I'm no angel you can see.
So I will tell you now
And I won't say it again,
Don't mess with me
Oh baby, don't mess with me.
Ride like a demon,
The devil's only son.
A whiskey drinking son of a bitch,
I've only just begun.
Sinner, sinner,
I'm no angel you can see.
I told you once before
And I won't say it again,
Don't mess with me,
Don't mess with me.
Soothe me baby like I soothe you,
Treat me baby like I treat you.
Soothe me baby like I soothe you,
Treat me baby like I
Fly like an eagle
An outlaw of the sun,
Never take what sleeps around
But, always get your fun.
Sinner, sinner,
You're no angel I can see.
I told you once before
And I won't say it again,
Don't mess with me,
Don't mess with me.
'cause I'm a sinner
And sinners ain't the loving kind.

3. _ Come On
I don't go looking for trouble,
It's always coming my way,
But, I've been looking for you,
And like the summer sun, you welcome my day.
So come on, come on,
And give your man some rock 'n' roll,
And get yourself some sweet rock 'n' roll.
I'm just a soldier of fortune,
Must be the gypsy in me.
I ain't along when I say
I never needed love so badly before.
Hear me singing "Come on, come on"!
Give your man some rock 'n' roll,
And get yourself some sweet rock 'n' roll.
I keep singing, "Come on, come on"!
"Come on, come on"!
Give your man some rock 'n' roll,
Give your man some rock 'n' roll,
Come on and get some sweet rock,
Come on and get some sweet rock,
Come on and get some sweet rock 'n' roll.
Must be the gypsy in me,
Can see the angel in you.

4. _ You 'N' Me
Well it's five in the morning
When will you be home,
I'm tired of waiting here baby
All on my own
All I got for comfort is some cheap red wine
But, the thought of what you're doing gives me no peace of mind
You 'n' me, it's got to be just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
Can't you see what you're doing to me
I know those page three girls
In the playboy books,
Ain't got nothing on you
In the way that you look
But, an eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
When you get home
You better give me some truth
Tell me no lies
When I ask you the questions,
Tell the truth
Your lies ain't gonna make it no more
Tell me no lies,
Baby you're no exception to the rule,
Because I've heard it all before
And babe believe me I never forget
You 'n' me, baby baby
Just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
If you don't stop what you're doing to me
I'm gonna do it to you
Tell me no lies
When I ask you the questions,
Tell the truth
Your lies ain't gonna make it no more
Tell me no lies,
Baby you're no exception to the rule,
Because I've heard it all before
And babe believe me, I never forget
You 'n' me, baby baby
Just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
Can't you see what you're doing to me
You 'n' me, baby baby
Just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
If you don't stop what you're doing to me,
I'm gonna do it to you!

5. _ Steal Away
And when the day is done
I'll find you woman, and run,
Don't ask no question.
And you won't get no lies,
And if you steal away,
I'll be your only lover.
And I will love you till the day that I die.
And if you steal away,
I'll turn your night into day
And get you crying like a dog for a bone.
And if you say you will,
I'll be your only lover.
And if you're good,
I'll never leave you alone.
Now, woman, don't be shy,
I see that look in your eye,
A little snake-bite won't do nobody wrong.
And if you shake what you got
I'll be your only lover,
And I'll be howling for you all night long.
Steal away, steal away,
Steal away, steal away.
And if you steal away,
I'll turn your night into day
Don't ask no question,
And you won't get no lies.
And if you say you will,
I'll be your only lover.
And I will love you
'Til the day that I die.

6. _ Bloody Mary
When you're waltzing down the High Street
Singing that sweet French perfume song;
Looking out for the boys who couldn't sing along.
Moving like a dancer on the ballroom floor;
Sweet ballerina, get me begging for more.
When you're rolling your eyes behind your Dior shades.
Bloody Mary, the queen of the ball.
Bloody Mary, you want it all.
I've been looking for you; looking for me.
I like sugar in my woman more than saccharine.
Too much sweet talk make a nice boy mean.
All in all, Mary, you're no good for me.
Just like a bee-sting, babe, you're a pain in my heart,
Hurting me more and more.
You get me down on my knees when you talk dirty to me.
Bloody Mary, the queen of the ball.
Bloody Mary, you want it all.
I've been looking for you.
Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary.
Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary.
You know that Madame Palm and her five sweet daughters
Couldn't give a man what the doctor ordered.
Oh, Mary, I love the way you turn it on.
Bloody Mary, the queen of the ball.
Bloody Mary, you want it all.
I've been looking for you.
Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary.
Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary.
You know that Madame Palm and her five sweet daughters
Couldn't give a man what the doctor ordered.
Oh, Mary, I love the way you turn it on.
I told, oh, Mary, I love the way you turn it on.

7. _ Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City [Live]
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cause you ain't around.
Baby, since you been around.
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity, child
Ain't no love 'cause you ain't around.
Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Why know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
To the county line, that's why
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cause you ain't around.
Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Why know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
Woman, to the county line, that's why
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
There ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cause you ain't around.
There ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cause you ain't around,
'Cause you ain't around.

9. _ Might Just Take Your Life [Live]
I got more than I asked for,
There ain't nothin' I need.
I took all 'til I had more,
I'm always takin' the lead
Old man shakin' dice down on the street,
Try'n to make a livin' somehow
But I'm really sure about gettin' things sorted out
And I'm gettin' ready right now
You can't hold me,
I have told you
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life
I've been called by many names
And all of them are bad
I can take it all the same,
It's all I've ever had
I've got somethin' that you can't get
But one thing you can see
Gettin' there ain't easy
But it sure was hard for me
You can't hold me,
I have told you
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life
Every time I take a look
There's someone close behind
They never used to make a pass,
The things that crossed their minds
Now they tell me that it's all right
And they want to be my friend
They're ridin' on my back
When is it goin' to end?
You can't hold me,
I have told you
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need

You never leave her alone,
I can see you never learn
When you're playing with fire,
You get your fingers burned
There ain't no use in crying,
Baby don't delay,

There ain't no use denying,
When you need it deep inside

13. _ Take Me With You
Every time I see my baby home,
I want to kiss a little better so I get stoned.
Gonna spread her pretty legs so I can see,
Sweet lip honey be the death of me
And I will discover you'll be my midnight lover,
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.
Sometimes when I'm feeling low,
I go looking for a lover where the bad girls go.
Sorry little girl, If you can't stay,
Your red light mama gonna show the way.
And then a certain madness,
Will 'crease my heart with sadness
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs,
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs.
I know love and what it means,
It's a skinny little girl in tight ass jeans.
I love to hear'em moan and cry,
'cause God made men to satisfy.
And with the fire returning,
I feel the fever burning
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs,
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs.
Oh, take me with you.
Every time I see my baby home,
I want to kiss a little better so I get stoned.
Gonna spread her pretty legs so I can see,
Sweet lip honey be the death of me.
And I will discover you'll be my midnight lover,
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs,
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs.
Take me with you.

15. _ Love To Keep You Warm
If you want love,
You gotta be cool
And if you deny it,
Then baby you're a fool.
I'm telling you now,
Don't you hide it away.
Because you need to keep you warm both night and day.
I could come home
Late at night
And after some loving,
Baby, it would be alright.
I've given up trying
Lying my way.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day.
I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me.
Maybe if you want my love,
You know you got it easily.
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold,
You know I won't be far away.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day.
You gotta have love
If you want schooling baby
I'll be around,
I'm ready for fooling
But, don't hang around.
And every morning I know I will say.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day.
I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me.
Maybe if you want my love,
You know you got it easily.
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold,
You know I won't be far away.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,
I said you need love to keep you warm both night and day.

16. _ Long Way From Home
I would do anything I could to be near you,
Walk all night in the pouring rain
To be at your side
My heart is aching for love,
My body's shaking with desire
Believe me, baby, when I say
I will drink you dry
I would do anything to be near you,
You're everything any man could claim
I see your face in the night,
I hear you calling my name
But, it's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do
I'd been looking for love for so long when I found you,
Too many years I walked alone
When I touch you inside I feel you burning me with fire,
Believe me baby when I say
I will feed the flame
I would do anything to be near you,
Walk all night in the pouring rain
I see your face in the night,
I hear you calling my name
But, it's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do
I would do anything to be near you,
You're everything any man could claim
I see your face in the night,
I hear you calling my name
But, it's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do
I would do anything I could to be near you,
Check in on any night time flight, I don't mind
My heart is aching for love,
My body's shaking with desire
Believe me baby when I say
I will drink you dry
I would do anything to be near you,
Walk all night in the pouring rain
I see your face in the night,
I hear you calling my name
But, it's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do,
It's a long long way from home

17. _ Mean Business
You're taking a walk on the wild side
If you're gonna take a chance with me,
I'm gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see
So don't you knock on my door
If you don't want an answer
Or gimme a beat
If you don't want a dancer
I've got my love gun loaded,
I've got you in my sight,
I never take no for an answer,
So you'd better say yes tonight
I told you the score
Right from the start,
You'll never get to heaven
If you break my heart
So if you don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cause it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me
You say you want my money,
I say you've got no sense,
If you just want to bleed me dry
Stay on your side of the fence
No mercy you can see
'Cause seven to eleven made a fool out of me
So if you don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cause it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me
You're taking a walk on the wild side
If you're gonna take a chance with me,
I'm gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see
So don't you knock on my door
If you don't want an answer
Or gimme a beat
If you don't want a dancer
So if you don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cause it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me

18. _ Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cause you ain't around.
Baby, since you been around.
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity, child
Ain't no love 'cause you ain't around.
Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Why know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
To the county line, that's why
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cause you ain't around.
Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Why know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
Woman, to the county line, that's why
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
There ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cause you ain't around.
There ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cause you ain't around,
'Cause you ain't around.

19. _ Walking in the Shadow of the Blues
I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it you can never understand
So many times I thought about it
And now I know just what it means to be a man
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cause I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
All of my life I've had a strange reputation,
I've been the black sheep of the family all along
I never know if in my heart I'm really guilty
But, I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cause I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
My father said you're crazy,
He said what you gonna do?
I left with my guitar and said
I'll leave it up to you
I'm gonna live the life I love
And live the life I choose,
And I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it I will tell you once again
All of my life I've been caught up in a crossfire,
'Cause I've been branded with the devil mark of cain
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cause I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues,
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues

20. _ Fool for Your Loving [Live]
I was born under a bad sign
Left out in the cold
I'm a lonely man who knows
Just what it means to lose control
But, I took all the heartache
And turned it to shame
Now I'm moving moving on
And I ain't taking the blame
Don't come running to me
I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man
So, I can say it to you, babe
I'll be a fool for your loving, no more
A fool for your loving, no more
I'm so tired of trying I always end up crying
Fool for your loving, no more
I'll be a fool for your loving, no more
I'm tired of hiding my feelings
You left me lonely too long
I gave my heart and you tore it apart
Oh baby, you done me wrong
Don't come running to me
I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man
So, I can say it to you, babe
I'll be a fool for your loving, no more
A fool for your loving, no more
I'm so tired of trying I always end up crying
Fool for your loving, no more
I'll be a fool for your loving, no more
I'll be a fool for your loving no more, no more, no more
So, I can say it to you, babe
I'll be a fool for your loving, no more
A fool for your loving, no more
I'm so tired of trying I always end up crying
Fool for your loving, no more
A fool for your loving, no more
Fool for your loving no more
