1 - Play The Blues

I love to play my rock'n'roll but I've played the Blues before
Had my share of broken hearts but I don't play the Blues no more
So if you meet the girl of your wildest dreams she's gonna turn out to be a curse
Love will hit you bad boy, but the Blues will hit you worse

If you wanna know how to play the Blues... get yourself a woman

Muddy Waters sang out the truth back in 1941
Woman gonna get to you like Jimi Hendrix with a gun
Mr. Fred McDowell lot hit pride when he begged his girl to stay
Mr. Robert Johnson lost his life with too much love one day

So if you wanna know how to play the Blues... get yourself a woman

(Repeat 1st verse)

So if you wanna know how to play the Blues... get yourself a woman
Pick it sweet and slide it slow


2 - Lovercall

I might not be the flashiest dresser in the room
I might not know how to look a girl in the eye
I might not have the right pickup lines
but I'll tell you what I got
You see when I was growing up I got the inside scoop I used to watch all the older fellas work down the block
That's right when the used to work I used to watch and when I watched I learned.... the Lovercall, baby

If you want to do it do it right
Up and down side to side
Baby we can do it for a night
Don't hold me back

Now you gotta look sharp fellas
And oh you gotta act right
You see, no woman in her right mind's gonna waste her time if you ain't on time
Let's not talk about how I know that - I'm just here to pass down what I know to you
You see, when I was growin' up I got the inside scoop I used to watch all the older fellas work down the block
That's right when the used to work I used to watch and when I watched I learned.... the Lovercall, baby

If you wanna do it do it right
Lick it up side to side
Baby we can do it for a night
Don't hold me back
Hold me back

That's right I love it when they lovercall baby
Do you like the lovercall?
I love the lovercall

3 - Sound of Love

You got a broken heart that just won't fix
You can't stop crying 'cause you miss your miss
Get her out of your head
Try someone new instead and feel all right
Just look at me man I was just like you
I loved a girl but then we were through
Everytime you commit you only gonna split and say good-bye

Are you in or are you out
Huckle up baby
To the Sound of Love

You're quick to fall in love but then you fall out
You say forever but I give you about ...
a month at the most you always get bored and leave her to dry
You'll find true love with a woman not a girl
You'll know it's hot when she becomes your world
When you're together you won't notice time will just fly by

Can you hear that sound? That's the Sound of Love

So are you in or are you out
Huckle up baby
To the Sound of Love

Everytime you see her she'll get a little hotter (x4)

Beautiful girl
Have you time
Just relax
And wait awhile
Ooh I caught you looking
Let's start some cooking
You know what I'm saying

Can you hear that sound? That's the Sound of Love

So are you in or are you out
Huckle up baby
To the sound of love
Now where the pretty girls at?
'Cause I'm the man with black hat
This is the Sound of Love

4 - Papa

Hello Miss World and all your beautiful girls
New York to Chicago
London to Toronto
I think about ya every night
The time we had felt so right
'Cause it's time for you to know that it's time for me to go and I'm leaving now

Hey Papa
I'm just like you
Hey Papa
I'm a Rolling Stone too

I was born a lion and like a cat I'm gonna dance
Barcelona to 'Frisco
Stockholm to Oslo
On the road is my religion
You gotta make a quick decision
'Cause it's time for you to know that I'm leaving now

Hey Papa
I'm just like you
Hey Papa
I'm a Rolling Stone too

Adhere to the call of the wind and the road
Don't look back baby and don't move slow
I know you want me for one more night
'Cause when we're together it just feels so right
One day I'm here the next I'm outta sight
Just let it be just let things take flight

Hey Papa, I'm a Rolling Stone
Hey Papa, I'm a Rolling Stone too

5 - Soul On Ice

I was born of fire, baptized in sweat
I walk alone when the sun sets
My heart is hard and my blood is cold
From getting kicked in the teeth I'm too young to feel so old

But don't get me wrong this ain't a cry for help
If you want to test me you'll hurt yourself

I gotta soul on ice
Frozen to the bone
I gotta soul on ice
So cold baby, so cold

Keep your distance and watch your step
The closer you are the further I get

But don't get me wrong this ain't a cry for help
If you want to test me you'll hurt yourself

I gotta soul on ice
Day and night and night and day
I gotta soul on ice
No feelings, no change
I gotta soul on ice
And I'm frozen to the bone
I gotta soul on ice
So cold baby, so cold

(repeat chorus after solo)

I been locked down
So why don't you let this bobcat out of his cage
And when you do, things are gonna change baby
That's right
So cold baby, so cold

6 - Word Is Bond

This is the time
This is the place
I'm gonna make it happen baby
I'm on the make
And there might be a million other people trying to do what I do but I'm the only one who knows what to do
There might be a million girls trying to get with this man but I only got eyes for you

And if you want it I will do it
My word is my bond

Yeah... All right... Okay... Tonight... It's a date

When I say I'm in love
You best believe I'm in love
LUV, I'll PYT
'Cause I am the phenomenon that always wants to get it on I've chosen you, you're the one I know I come on strong
Just show me some leg and I'll be ready for bed
Gonna take you to the morning 'till you're the light in my head

And if you want it I will do it
My word is my bond
And when I do it you will love it

All right baby, I know everybody's been talking behind my back saying all kinds of crazy things about me
But when I'm singin' 'bout 'cha I'm thinkin about 'cha
And there ain't nobody else that I'm thinking about
Let me show you with this line, with this statement right here
When you shake your booty babe, you get me so hot hot... aaaw yeah
When you shake your booty babe, you get me so hot hot... aaawwhaha yeah
When you shake your booty babe, you get me so hot hot... aw shit baby, let's do it one more time
When you shake your booty babe, you get me so hot hot... I'm gonna do it over and over again
When you shake your booty babe, you get me so hot hot
When you shake your booty babe, you get me so hot hot
When you shake your booty babe, you get me so hot hot
When you shake your booty babe, you get me so hot hot
Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot .....
Oh yeah
Allright
Okay
This is the time
This is the place
I'm gonna make it happen baby
I'm on the make
And there might be a million other people trying to do what I do but I'm the only one who knows what to do
There might be a million girls trying to get with this man but I only got eyes for you
And when you want it I will do it
My word is my bond
And when I do it you will love it

7 - Way To My Heart

Baby, you drive me crazy and I can say that this is the way to my heart
Baby, you're born to raise hell and I can say that this is the way to my heart
Baby, you're X-rated and I can say that this is the way to my heart
Baby, you're understated and I can say that this is the way to my heart

I'm like a loaded gun
You can pull the trigger if you want some
Let's go on the side of the road
I can be your Ro-me-o

Baby, you drive me crazy and I can say that this is the way to my heart
Baby, you're born to raise hell and I can say that this is the way to my heart

8 - Caramel City

Washington D.C. is pretty but it ain't my city
I need a town where I can get down
I follow traces of faces of people baby and when they get it on the world turns brown
In my town you can walk around at night
Go anywhere with anyone you like
Don't like to leave I'd rather hang around
I love it 'cause the world comes to my town

C...A...R-A...M-E-L

The younger you feel the more it feels right
Crossover genes in the middle of the night
I thought a little colour hurt no one, but I was wrong baby dead wrong
So I'm calling all White people, Black people, Asians, South Asians, Hispanics, Natives, everybody
I'm gonna scream it at the top of my lungs
Caramel City is where I come from

C...A...R-A...M-E-L

It don't get better when you run and hide
I like to see it when the worlds collide
I wanna do it baby do it like we do every night
I'm sick and tired of just being friends
I wanna melt in pots and make amends
The first kiss means the party's about to begin

Washington D.C. is pretty but it ain't my city
I need a town where I can get down
I follow traces of faces of people baby
I need love from everyone around
So I'm calling all White people, Black people, Asians, South Asians, Hispanics, Natives, everybody
I'm gonna scream it at the top of my lungs
Caramel City is where I come from

C...A...R-A...M-E-L

9 - Get Outta Town

Man, I'm so sick of this town
Get me the hell out now
Mama don't wanna talk to me
Daddy, he just wears a frown
All the girls got boyfriends
Man, I don't got a girl
Jump start my car
Get me the hell out now

Right now!

10 - Suicide Woman

She slides in the room like a snake
She's got a man at home but she's on the make
She's a woman but she acts like a little girl
I don't know why I even went out with her
'Cause she might look pretty but she's ugly as hell
Everyday I went out with her I was just killin' myself
You get one chance at love and her time has passed
'Cause she might look pretty

Suicide suicide going out with her was like a suicide and I was killing myself
Suicide suicide going out with her was like a suicide just put the bullet in my head
Suicide suicide going out with her was like a suicide and I was killing myself
Suicide suicide going out with her was like a suicide just put the bullet in my head

She likes to take things a little too far
Baby, why are you always the last one out of the bar
She had her fun when I was in ruins
All my friends wondered what the hell I was doing
'Cause she might look pretty but she's ugly as hell
Everyday I went out with her I was just killin' myself
You get one chance at love and her time has passed
'Cause she might look pretty

Suicide suicide going out with her was like a suicide and I was killing myself
Suicide suicide going out with her was like a suicide just put the bullet in my head
Suicide suicide going out with her was like a suicide and I was killing myself
Suicide suicide going out with her was like a suicide just put the bullet in my head

11 - Love Is Unkind

Mama said "watch out son, skinny top heavy bottom"
I know thats easy to tell that girl is just put you through hell
Papa said :my turn, step outside, you gotta learn, women and girls make your head turn"
But daddy I'm doing fine without her

Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind
Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind
Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind
Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind

Couple come up to me
They're in love it's plain to see
I take a step back and start to laugh
You know love can never last
'Cause love comes in then falls out
That's when you learn what it's about
I love you always ends with I think we should just be friends

Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind
Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind
Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind
Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind

I wanna talk about love
I wanna talk about love
Because all my life I've been told that love will keep you together, love is all you need and all you need is love, love is the answer
But I remember the time when my Mama sat me down and she looked me in the eye, the little pea-bone with a smile and her smile turned into a laugh and her laugh turned into a cackle and you know what she said, you know what she said...

Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind
Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind
That's what she said
Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind
Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind
Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind
It don't like nobody
Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind it ain't got no friends
Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind it don't like nobody
Love is unkind love is unkind love is unkind it ain't got no friends

Ladies and gentleman, I'm gonna prove my point tonight
I'm gonna tilt my head up to the sky
I'm gonna look at the good Lord in the eye
And if the good Lord wants to strike me down tonight
And I haven't found my true love I haven't found her if I haven't found my true love baby...
If the good Lord wants to strike me down tonight and I haven't found my true love I haven't found my true love
I'M GONNA DIE A HAPPY MAN
