I AIN'T GOT LOVE
A gorgeous doll A classy miss
With most men yearning for one kiss
But still, I ain’t got love
Yes I can make the traffic stop
The cream that rises to the top
But still, I ain’t got love
I’m Wall Street’s wiz
A wonderkind, their hero
But when it comes to sweet romance
Guess I’m batting zero
So here I am Atop the heap
Just all poised to take that leap
But still, I ain’t got love
Attending school While as a boy
I was the teacher’s pride and joy
But still, I ain’t got love
When I grew up To stately rank
I made more dough for poppa’s bank
But still, I ain’t got love
I’m front page news
No other guy is prouder
But in romance I’ve no degree
Got to take a power
The corporate world says I’m a wow!
I’m rich and famous, man and how
But still, I ain’t got love
OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF
MIND
Out of sight, out of mind
There is no peace this heart of mine
can find It’s out of place, and
somewhere out of time
Out of sight, out of mind
I still see you with me
You’re in my dreams,
I hold you constantly
I can’t forget those
haunting memories
Out of sight, out of mind
Bridge:
Try as I might to find new love
The same old feelings
keep giving me a shove
We had it all, just you and me
A great romance that all the world
could see
Nothing stays quite the same
And maybe I’m the one
who’s still to blame
For if I’d only asked you to remain
But, out of sight, out of mind
Tag: Last time only
It was good, it was fine
But, out of sight, out of mind
I'M GONNA STOP LOOKIN' ROUND
I’m gonna stop lookin’ ‘round
for that romance
And let the love come
right to my door
I’m playing hard to get, you can bet
Won’t be a fool like before
I’m gonna stop lookin’
‘round for that romance
Ain’t gonna search for one to adore
There’s gonna be a
change something strange
Won’t be the same anymore
I’ve made my mind up
Make no mistake about that
Ain’t gonna wind up
just like a rat in a trap
I’m gonna stop lookin’
‘round for that romance
I’m gonna stop pacing the floor
I swear by stars above
No more love
Until it breaks down my door
I’ve made my mind up
Make no mistake about that
Ain’t gonna wind up
Just like a rat in a trap
I’m gonna stop lookin’
‘round for that romance
I’m gonna stop pacing the floor
I swear by stars above,
no more love
Until it breaks down my door

THE VERY FIRST THING IN THE
MORNING
The very first thing in the morning
With dawn’s early light
My sleepy brain flashes a warning
That something’s not right
I arise and rub my eyes
To brush away this dream
Much too much sweet music
Sun too bright with it’s beam
I tell myself I’m in a nightmare
And go back to bed
But never before did a nightmare
Remain in my head
It’s so real the way I feel
It must have come from above
The very first thing in the morning
It dawns on me That I’m in love
I tell myself I’m in a nightmare
And go back to bed
But never before did a nightmare
Remain in my head
It’s so real the way I feel
It must have come from above
The very first thing in the morning
It dawns on me That I’m in love
HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR EVENINGS
How do you spend your evenings
Are you at home alone
Do you find strangely thrilling
Each ring of the telephone
How do you spend your evenings
Have you found someone new
Did the flame die forever
The night that you said
we were through
Do you try to live over
Our love unsurpassed
Do you cry cause ifs over
A thing of the past
Why couldn’t it last
How do you face the music
What do you tell your heart
How do you spend your evenings
Now that we drifted apart
Do you try to live over
Our love unsurpassed
Do you cry cause it’s over
A thing of the past
Why couldn’t it last
How do you face the music
What do you tell your heart
How do you spend your evenings
Now that we’ve drifted apart
How do you spend your evenings
without me
IT JUST AIN'T
SENSIBLE
It just ain’t sensible
For you and I
It just ain’t sensible
For us to try
A dreamers dream
A hairbrain scheme
Would stand a better chance
A beggar’s debt
A better bet than our
half-baked romance
It just ain’t sensible
That same old ache
Incomprehensible,
that same mistake
We must agree
That we’ll be free
In spite of that old yen
It just ain’t sensible
To love again
We must agree
That we’ll be free
And just remain good friends
It just ain’t sensible
To fall in love again
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW
Things are different now
At last my heart is free
No longer do I find you always on
my mind Life seems good to me
You made love a thing quite nameless
How can you think you are blameless,
so shameless
Well, you have taught my heart it’s
foolish to be true
And I would gladly share a brand new
love affair With anyone but you
Now don’t expect that I’ll be waiting
To worship and kowtow to you
For things are different now
Now don’t expect that I’ll be waiting
To worship and kowtow to you
For things are different now
DOT COM BLUES
The Internet speaks loud and clear
From morning to noon,
even the dead of the night
I'm cyberspaced cut, my dear
I got those dot com, I got those dot com
I got those dot com blues
It's virtual, sometimes it's real
Well tell me what's next,
give me a break from Yahoo
It certainly has a strange appeal
A bit of 'lectronic sex with
a touch of voodoo
I'm going crazy seeing spots
on my screen
It must be time for a break
I got online to make my life
a little easier,
now it's getting cheesier
A fatal mistake
I'm strectching myself a bit too far
I ask for some Java,
get a Netscape latte
I'm even online in my car
A virus is sure coming on
there's no time to delay

I'M IN LOVE WITH AN ESKIMO
Up in old Alaska cold
Resides a heart lot
Their confreres are polar bears
It’s life that’s far from hot
When desire they pitch there woo
Far retired in some igloo
There they keep away the chill
Rubbing noses oh what a thrill
On a tear Came down from there
A frosty man quite pure
Cold and numb She’s now become
That one great paramour
Though I woo her with amorous
glances
It’s plain that her heart’s not aglow
She coldly spurns all my advances
I’m in love with an Eskimo
Tender scenes in the movies just
bore her
So we never go to the show
Romance just fills her with horror
I’m in love with an Eskimo
She has never called me dear
And will never shed a tear
Whenever we’re far apart
Even candy everyday
And on Sunday a bouquet
Won’t drive the cold from her heart
I’ve been left in the
depths of dejection
Still that never makes her feel low
My dog shows me more of affection
I’m in love with an Eskimo
Though he's handsome and proud
as Apollo
His normal reactions are slow
The place called his heart
Must be hollow
I’m in love with an Eskimo
I had hoped that like waves in the ocean
He’d drift toward me with undertow
But he seems devoid of emotion
I’m in love with an Eskimo
He won’t call me on the phone
Though he knows I’m home alone
Just waiting there for his ring
He won’t linger after dark
When we’re walking in the park
He’s just a stuffy old thing
He won’t sit on a bench on a June
night
He shies clear of all mistletoe
He’s also quite wary of moonlight
I’m in love with an Eskimo
Though she’s gorgeous
and lovely as Venus
She isn’t for me that I know
She keeps that same distance
between us
I’m in love with an Eskimo
When I squander my money to
please her
She tells me I’m wasting my dough
She’s as cold as an ice-cream freezer
I’m in love with an Eskimo
She won’t let me hold her hand
Doesn’t seem to understand
What romance is all about
She dismisses all my pash
As just sentimental trash
To her I’m just a good scout
It’s just useless to try to reform her
Her heart is as cold as the snow
An iceberg’s considerably warmer
I’m in love with an Eskimo
When he greets me he’s always quite
distant
A handshake, a distant hello
His temperature must be subnormal
I’m in love with an Eskimo
He has never heard tales
of Dan Cupid
That kid with the arrow and bow
The big lug’s exceedingly stupid
I’m in love with an Eskimo
He’s allergic to romance
Doesn’t give a second glance
Whenever I’m dressed to kill
My most ravishing perfume
Makes him want to leave the room
His sense of love is just nil
Though I hoped that our romance
would sizzle
I’m left with that mood indigo
It turned out to be just a fizzle
I’m in love with an Eskimo
BY AN OLEANDER TREE
The time was long ago
Two hearts all aglow
The moon hanging over the sea
On the night we meandered by an
oleander tree
Though we only had lust met
Still I can’t forget
The spell that you cast over me
On the night we meandered by an
oleander tree
You softly sighed to me
And I heard voices croon
A southern melody from some old
fashioned tune
Though our love affair has died
Memories live inside
Of something that never could be
On the night we meandered by an
oleander tree
You softly sighed to me
And I heard voices croon
A southern melody from some old
fashioned tune
Though our love affair has died
Memories live inside
Of something that never could be
On the night we meandered by an
oleander tree
