Best Of Lari White

(lari white/al anderson)

Well i guess you might'a heard of me
That i'm a little loose and fancy free
Darling, i don't wanna leave no doubt
I'm the girl your mama warned you about

The place is jumpin' and i'm in the mood
Why don't you let me change your attitude
Well i know a good place to start
You gotta get a little wild at heart

I'm crazy, baby, crazy over you
Maybe baby i can make you a little crazy too

I think you oughta loosen up that tie
Call your mama with alibi
Tell her you won't be home 'til after dark
You gotta get a little wild at heart

I'm crazy, baby, crazy over you
Maybe baby i can make you a little crazy too

Shake it loose and let it all hang out
I wanna see you do the twist and shout
You don't have to be a billionaire
No modern day fred astaire

You're really rockin', now your doin' fine
It didn't take you long to lose your mind
You can't stop it, honey, once you start
You gotta get a little wild at heart
You can't stop it, honey, once you start
You gotta get a little wild at heart

I was just thinking how nice it would be
To have someone to kiss me good night
I was just thinking what i really need
Is someone to hold me real tight
I was just thinking
Of finding somebody i could mean everything to
And it's funny you should happen to walk into my life
'cause i was just thinking of you

I was just thinking of a walk in the rain
Underneath an umbrella for two
I was just thinking of the sound of my name
On the lips of a lover so true

I was just thinking
Of a moment of magic that lasts a whole lifetime through
And it's funny you should happen to walk into my life
'cause i was just thinking of you

I've felt your tender touch in every romance i've read
And i've seen your sweet smile in my dreams
There's a feeling i get, like we've already met
And it's almost too good to believe

I was just thinking of a moment of magic
That lasts a whole lifetime through
And it's funny you should happen to walk into my life
'cause i was just thinking of you

(jess leary/jody alan sweet)

Blue moon is rising, all hope seems gone
A heart can be lonely only so long
Baby, don't worry 'cause somebody cares
Call out my name and i'll be right there

If you need a shoulder strong enough to lean on
If you need a hand that fits like a glove
If you need a heart then hold on steady
Cause i'm ready, willing and able to love

I know you're wary, you've been hurt before
But it's time to move on, now, and close that old door
Open your heart, wipe those tears from your eyes
You've got my number, don't even think twice

If you need a shoulder strong enough to lean on
If you need a hand that fits like a glove
If you need a heart then hold on steady
Cause i'm ready, willing and able to love

You think it over, my offer still stands
And if you're still uncertain, i'll say it again

If you need a shoulder strong enough to lean on
If you need a hand that fits like a glove
If you need a heart then hold on steady
Cause i'm ready, willing and able to love

Well, i should have been home hours ago
I always lose track of the time
I'll just hold up this wall while i try to recall
A thought from the back of my mind

Oh yeah i remember, it began with a wink
When you caught me looking at you
So don't ask me if you can buy me a drink
I know what you're trying to do

Lead me not into temptation
I already know the road all too well
Lead me not into temptation
I can find it all by myself

I've the best of intentions, lord, i mean to be good
And stick to the path i should go
But seems the harder i try, the further i slide
'til i'm lost down that same dead end road

Now you're a good lookin' thing, and that must be the best
Proposition that i've had all day
But there's no need for subtlety, darlin', just get thee
Behind me and i'll show you the way

Lead me not into temptation
I already know the road all too well
Lead me not into temptation
I can find it all by myself

(stephony smith/terry burns)

Love, i watch you sleep and i realize
You're everything i've ever wanted
And now, all of my dreams have come to life
I always knew that you were out there somewhere
And now you're here by my side

I've been waiting for your love, baby
I've held this vision in my mind
I've been waiting for your love, darling
All this time
I was a lonely girl 'til you stepped in my world
So glad i never gave up
Anticipating i've been waiting for your love

Time slipped through my hand, with each grain of sand
I felt you get closer and closer
And hope was all that i had to keep me strong
No one could touch the dream i held inside me
That's why i held out so long

I've been waiting for your love, baby
I've held this vision in my mind
I've been waiting for your love, darling
All this time
I was a lonely girl 'til you stepped in my world
So glad i never gave up
Anticipating i've been waiting for your love

Yeah, i was a lonely girl 'til you stepped in my world
So glad i never gave up
Anticipating i've been waiting for your love
I was a lonely girl 'til you stepped in my world
So glad i never gave up
Anticipating i've been waiting for your love
For your love, for your love

(lari white/john rotch)

I know what it is you're tryin'
When you're tryin' to be so cool
Everywhere you go you're a romeo
With a smile and a line so smooth

But the trail of hearts lying in your wake
It looks like a six lane interstate
And there's a big, bright, red light telling me tonight
Not to slow down, get my heart out of sight

Chorus:
So you won't get the taste of this, not even a kiss
The fact your middle name is heartache ain't no coincidence
You made a livin' out of lovin' and leavin' 'em to fall apart
So now you better understand you'll never lay a hand on one
Itty bitty little single solitary piece o' my heart

I know what it is you're doin'
With all that cooin' and a wooin'
But you can't fool me, i got a degree
I learned a lot from hard knock schoolin'
Well, i used to jump in wholehearted
Every time a new love started
But it was just a chase, then replaced heart, thrown in my face
Not any more, my love is to good to waste

(repeat chorus)

I said now you better understand, you'll never lay a hand on one
Itty bitty little single solitary piece o' my heart
