Lyrics

Faith
03:16
Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you, uhh

But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too

Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
Oh when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man, baby
But I'm showing you the door

'Cause I got to have faith
I got to have faith
Because I got to have faith faith
I got to have faith, faith, faith

Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please, don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to lover boy rules

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I wait for something more

Yes I've got to have faith
Unh I got to have faith
Because I got to have faith, faith, faith
I got to have faith, faith, faith

I just got to wait
Because I got to have faith
I got to have faith
I got to, got to, got to have faith

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I wait for something more

'Cause I got to have faith
Unh I got to have faith
Because I got to have faith, faith, faith
I got to have faith, faith, faith
Father Figure
05:37
That's all I wanted
Something special, something sacred
In your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked
At your side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
Maybe this time is forever
Say it can be

That's all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side

Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
But something tells me together
We'd be happy

I will be your father figure
(Oh baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine
(I'd love to)
I will be your preacher teacher
(Be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind
(It would make me)
I will be your father figure
(Very happy)
I have had enough of crime
(Please let me)
I will be the one who loves you
'Til the end of time

That's all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken
For a crime
That's all I wanted
Just to see my baby's
Blue eyes shine
This time I think that my lover
Understands me
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be
Strong, baby

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
'Til the end of time

If you are the desert
I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger
Hunger for me
Whatever you ask for
That's what I'll be

So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared
But then laughed as you cried
Beautiful darling
Don't think of me

Because all I ever wanted
It's in your eyes, baby
And love can't lie, no
(Greet me with the eyes of a child)
My love is always tellin' me so
(Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
Just hold on, hold on
I won't let you go, my baby

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind, baby
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
(So I am gonna love you)
'Til the end of time
I will be your father
I will be your preacher
I will be your daddy, whoa
I will be the one who loves you 'til the end of time
I Want Your Sex (parts I & II)
09:17
There's things that you guess
And things that you know
There's boys you can trust
And girls that you don't
There's little things you hide
And little things that you show
Sometimes you think you're gonna get it
But you don't and that's just the way it goes
I swear I won't tease you won't tell you no lies
Yeah...
Don't need no bible just look in my eyes
I've waited so long baby now that we're friends
Every man's got his patience and here's where my ends
I want your sex
I want your love
I want your sex
I want your
Sex
It's playing on my mind
It's dancing on my soul
It's taken so much time
So why don't you just let me go?
I'd really like to try
Oh, I'd really love to know
When you tell me you're gonna regret it
Then I tell you that I love you but you still say no
I swear I won't tease you won't tell you no lies
Yeah...
Don't need no bible just look in my eyes
Ooh...
I've waited so long baby out in the cold
But I can't take it much more girl I'm losing control
I want your sex
I want your love
I want your sex
I want your
Sex
Sex
Ow
(it's natural)
(it's chemical) Let's do it
(it's logical)
(habitual) Can we do it?
(it's sensual)
(but most of all)
Sex is something that we should do
Sex is something for me and you
Sex is natural sex is good
Not everybody does it but everybody should
Sex is natural sex is fun
Sex is best when it's one on one
One on one
(hoooah) Sex
I'm not your father
(hoooah) Sex
I'm not your brother
(hoooah) Sex
Talk to your sister
(hoooah) Sex

(hoooah) Sex
Whooo...

What's your definition of dirty baby?
What do you consider pornography?
Don't you know I love it 'til it hurts me baby?
Don't you think it's time you had sex with me?
What's your definition of dirty baby?
What do you call pornography?
Don't you know I love it 'til it hurts me baby?

Because I love you
Let me hold you
Oh

Baby you've been so unkind
Oh

That's right all night

But the question is
Will we ever-ever?
Sexy baby's (sexy baby's)

Keep me guessing
Keep me guessing with a promise
Ooh...
I know we can come together
But the question is
Will we ever-ever?
Together
You and me
Ow
I want to hold
One More Try
05:51
I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me
Say you love me
But if you don't just let me go

'Cause teacher
There are things that I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me no
So you think that you love me
Know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go

And teacher
There are things
That I don't want to learn
Oh the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong, you're not that strong
Let me go

And teacher
There are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh so I don't want to learn
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Who just isn't willing to try

I'm so cold
Inside
Maybe just one more try
Hard Day
04:48
Won't you give me a break?
Somebody give me a break now

Down, down, do-do-do-down
Don't bring me down, down, do-do-do-down
Don't bring me down, down, do-do-do-down
Down, down, do-do-do-down, down, do-do-do-down

I've never been one for playing games
You can move your mouth forever
But the words sound just the same
Something like, bang bang you're dead
Couldn't we just make love instead
Say yes cause it's what we do best
And I've had such a hard day

Take me where their eyes can't find us
Without you I may as well just

How much do I have to say?
What more do you have to see?
What will it take to make you love me?
Well, you're not the first, you're not the last
You're not even the one who loves me the best
But all I think about is you

So take me where their eyes can't find us
Without you I may as well just

Down, down, do-do-do-down, do-do-do-do
Down, down, do-do-do-down, do-do-do-do

Take me where their eyes can't find us
Without you I may as well just

Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down, down, down, down, down
Don't bring me down, down, do-do-do-down

Please don't wander from my door

I've never been one for playing games
You can move your mouth forever
But the words sound just the same
Bang bang, you're dead
Shouldn't we just make love instead?
Say yes cause it's what we do best
And I've had such a hard day

Don't bring me down
So don't bring me down
Won't you give me a break?
Somebody give me a break now

Don't bring me down
Sweet little boy with, oh, such a big mouth
Harsh words can get you into hot water
When people don't understand you, baby
I'm always here for you
And I, and I will never bring you down
Down, down, down, down, my baby

Trust me, I want you to trust me, trust me, tru-tru-tru-tru
Oh, trust me
Cause I won't bring you down (don't bring me down)
I won't bring you down
Do you trust me (yeah)

Such a hard day
You had a hard day, such a hard day
You had a hard day, such a hard day
You had a hard day, such a hard day
You had a hard day, such a hard day, day, day
Won't bring you down, won't bring, won't bring you down
Won't bring, won't bring you down, my baby

Down, down, do-do-do-down
Down, down, do-do-do-down, down, do-do-do-down

Won't you give me a break?
Somebody give me a break now
Won't you give me a break?
Somebody give me a break now
Won't you give me a break?
Somebody give me a break now
Won't you give me a break?
Somebody give me a break now
Hand to Mouth
04:36
Jimmy got nothing made himself a name
With a gun that he polished for a rainy day
A smile and a quote from a vigilante movie
Our boy jimmy just blew them all away
He said it made him crazy
Twenty five years living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

Sweet little baby on a big white doorstep
She needs her mother but her mother is dead
Just another hooker that the lucky can forget
Just another hooker
It happens everyday
She loved her little baby
But she couldn't bare to see her living
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

I believe in the gods of America
I believe in the land of the free
But no one told me
(No one told me)
That the gods believe in nothing
So with empty hands I pray
And from day to hopeless day
They still don't see me
(See me)

Everybody talks about the new generation
Jump on the wagon or they'll leave you behind
But no one gave a thought to the rest of the nation
Like to help you buddy, but I haven't got the time
Somebody shouted save me
But everybody started living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

There's a big white lady
On a big white doorstep
She asked her daddy and her daddy said 'yes'
Has to give a little for the dollars that we get
Has to give a little
They say it's for the best
Somebody shouted
Maybe
But they kept on living from hand to mouth
Hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

So she ran to the arms of America
And she kissed the powers that be
And someone told me
(Someone told me)
That the gods believe in nothing
So with empty hands I pray
And tell myself
One day
They just might see me
Look at Your Hands
04:38
I loved you once
But look at you now
You're in someone else's bed
I loved you once
So I don't know how
You're with a man like that
You'd be better of dead
He don't care
He don't treat you right
It's not fair
I still want you at night
Can't you see you made a mistake girl
He treats you like dirt and I hate it

Na na na na na na lady look at your hands
You got two fat children and a drunken man
Betcha don't, betcha don't like your life
Betcha don't, betcha don't like it
Ma ma ma ma baby look at your hands
You should have been my baby when you had the chance
Betcha don't, betcha don't like your life
Betcha don't, betcha don't like your life now

He hits you once
He hits you twice
He don't care about the blood on his hands
But that's OK
'cause it's his wife
"It's the only thing she understands, " he says

Say you're gonna leave him
Say you're gonna try
But you're only talking
Oh I know you think I'm a young boy
But I'm good and I think we can make it

Well excuse me baby but it's making me mad
The only one you want is the one you'll never have
It's so sad
The only one you'll never have
It's too bad
Only one you'll never have

Na na na na na na lady look at your hands
You've got two fat children and a drunken man
And I bet you don't like your life now
Monkey
05:06
Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving into it
Do you love your monkey or do you love me?

Why can't you do it?
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
(Monkey, monkey, monkey, yeah, y-yeah)

Oh, I count to ten
But I don't know how, and I don't know when to open my eyes

Baby, if you kiss me again
Like you did just now, like you did just then (then, then, then)
Just, just, just (do it again)

I've had the rest
Now it's time I had the best
So you tell me that you won't do anymore

Well, I'd write your heart a letter
But I think you know me better
If I keep on asking baby, maybe I'll get what I'm asking for

Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving in to it
Do you love your monkey or do you love me?

Why can't you do it?
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
(Monkey, with a monkey, monkey, yeah, y-yeah)

Oh, I hate your friends
But I don't know how and I don't know when to open your eyes
Yes, your monkey's back again
Do you want him now like you did back then? (back then, back then)
(D-do it again)

I tried my best but your head is such a mess
So I guess that I don't want you anymore
Well you say you care about me, that you just can't do without me
But you keep on dancin' baby 'til that monkey has you on the floor

Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving into it
Do you love the monkey or do you love me?

Why can't you do it?
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
(Monkey, with a monkey, monkey, yeah, y-yeah)

Don't look now, there's a monkey on your back
Don't look now there's a monkey on you
Don't look now there's a monkey on your back
Don't look now there's a monkey on you

So you tell me that you won't do anymore
If I keep on askin' baby, maybe I'll get what I'm askin' for

Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving into it
Do you love the monkey or do you love me?

Why can't you do it?
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
(Monkey, with a monkey, monkey, yeah, y-yeah)

Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving into it
Do you love the monkey or do you love me?

Why can't you do it?
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
(Monkey, with a monkey, monkey, yeah, y-yeah)
Kissing a Fool
04:36
You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death and from my heart
Strange that you were strong enough
To even make a start
But you'll never find
Peace of mind
Til you listen to your heart

People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will
If you let them
Steal your heart from you
People
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
We should have seen love through

Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
Covered me with kisses and lies
So goodbye
But please don't take my heart

You are far
I'm never gonna be your star
I'll pick up the pieces
And mend my heart
Maybe I'll be strong enough
I don't know where to stars
But I'll never find
Peace of mind,
While I listen to my heart

People,
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will
If you let them
Steal your heart

And people
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all

But remember this
Every other kiss
That you ever give
Long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man
One you really can surrender with
I will wait for you
Like I always do
There's something there
That can't compare with any other

You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death and from my heart
Strange that I was wrong enough
To think you'd love me too
I guess you were kissing a fool
You must have been kissing a fool
