1. TEARS OF A CLOWN (COSBY, ROBINSON, WONDER)

Now if there's a smile on my face, it's only there trying to fool the public.
But when it comes down to fooling you, now honey that's quite a different subject.
Well don't let my glad expressions give you the wrong impression,
I'm sadder than sad, and I'm hurting so bad.
Now there's some sad things known to man, but ain't too much sadder than...
The tears of a clown,
When there's no one around.
Now if I appear to be carefree, it's only to camouflage my sadness.
In order to shield my pride I try to cover up with a show of gladness.
Well don't let my show convince you that I've been happy since you
Decided to go, now I'm needing you so.


2. CATHOLIC GIRLS (VIE, Z'NUFF)

Little catholic girls, they always turn my head.
There's a high school on the corner that keeps my fetish fed.
Everyday at three sit outside and watch.
Praying for kite weather to flash those polka-dots.
They got the bleach blonde haircuts and their plaid skirts on,
Button-up blouses and their satchels on and I love...
(Little Catholic Girls)
To see 'em is a pleasure 'cause I love,
(Little Catholic Girls)
You know I'll always treasure, I love,
(Little Catholic Girls)
See the catholic girls, they always make me smile.
Pig-tails in the school yard, they're hungry in the wild.
Where innocence is lost they live from day to day.
Try to never touch one but I can't turn away.
I wanna kiss their faces, wanna squeeze 'em tight,
They drive me crazy in my sleep at night, how I love...
Repeat Chorus.
Knock me over with their saddle shoes,
You're hailing mary, babe I'm hailing you.


3. DAY BY DAY (DONNIE VIE)

It's not the way you lounge around in T-shirts.
It's not the way you smile when you sleep.
I'm getting older, and you're getting better.
And everyday I wonder if you keep,
The thrilled sensation of loving me,
It's so good having you around and we...
Just take it day by day, we make it last all night.
Whatever I say you say, alright.
No one's shaken, baby no one cries.
And there's nothing inside to loosen the bite.
When I'm alone I'm still pretty happy,
'Cause I have you to think of at night.
And though I don't know the meaning, I still say I love you.
And though I don't understand, the words just sound right.
Under my arm, cruisin' to your door.
Tonight it's over I'll be back for more.


4. NO SECOND TIME (VIE, Z'NUFF)

Baby have I told you that I love you and I need you?
I have to say that darlin' everyday, that I'm gonna be there.
So tell me, if you missed me, when you kissed him, why'd you leave me?
I don't understand, if you say you love your man, why do you let him go?
You've gotta come back to me girl,
Or have you decided who you want now?
Come happily girl.
Don't let me make your mind,
'Cause there'll be no second time.
You know I'm working so hard, getting so tired, building a fire.
Still begging when I'm through, there will be time for you,
And I'm gonna be there.


5. HOLLYWOOD SQUARES (VIE, Z'NUFF)

Hey buddy, what's that, lipstick? Awww...what are ya wierd or somethin'?!!
The sign said rockin' at the club last night.
It was so amusing just to view the sight,
Of the guys that make it with chicks every night and more.
Well they dress real funny and it does look fine,
With their faces all painted and their hair sprayed high,
As they sit back, winking and give us a try and score.
Restless jiggers with a lot less figures,
They're the news of the world today.
They're the hollywood squares.
(L.A. chicks are rockin')
And they're coming in pairs.
(Get their kicks tonight)
Are you going somewhere?
(L.A. chicks are rockin')
They're the hollywood squares.
The moves they have I just can't bear,
And if no one likes them they don't even care,
And they don't stay home, they've got to be somewhere at night.
Long last lovers or so they say,
When the job's all done they don't go away.
Yeah that's what I'm gonna be someday, that's right.
Restless jiggers with a lot less figures,
They're the news of the world today.
Repeat Chorus.
By day they sleep, at night they creep.
Creep in the dark, they'll break your heart.
They never date, just sit and wait for their day, yeah.


6. FINGERS ON IT (VIE, Z'NUFF)

…hi….
I got my fingers on it.
Tracy baby is it as hard for you as it is hard for me,
To keep on doing what I wanna do and still live happily?
When I'm alone the situation makes me mad,
But when I'm with you I'm so glad.
Be so easy just to blow it off if you weren't so fine.
Love's a pity, I can't stand the stuff, so keep that in mind.
I know you're looking for someone like me to hold.
Don't make me fall for you I need a free road.
I got my fingers on it. Not sure I even want it.
Oh, god I just don't need it. But I feel it.
Let's pretend we don't care at all and we don't have to stay,
And every weekend I don't have to call and you don't have to be.
I said I like you far to many times last night,
In our position it's just not right.
Repeat Chorus.
I said I like you far to many times last night,
In our position it's just not right.
Repeat Chorus Twice.
But I feel it, but I feel it.
(What a lovely girl) I got my fingers on it.
(Trips around the world) Not sure I even want it.
(What a lovely girl) Oh god I just don't need it,
But I feel it…


7. AROUSED (DONNIE VIE)

Engaging social with my violent reactor.
It drives me crazy, buy another round.
Along comes baby, she's a positive factor.
I've never seen this one this part of town.
All wrapped up in yesterday, never noticed they were passers through.
Say goodbye to my girlfriend, kissed her face.
Guess that's all she'll ever do.
I'm aroused. What more can I say?
So aroused. And I like it that way.
My legs are shaking with a nervous infection.
And she comes shaking down to my detour.
So tired of the girls that live in deception,
Now awakened by the one with more.
With her hair uncertain on her face,
Adds a flavor to her flashy clothes.
Yeah she's a bird and I'm a tomcat on the chase.
Blinked her eyes and I arose.


8. MARIE (VIE, Z'NUFF)

Well she's got a look. A heart that's good as gold.
But that's not all she's got, despite what I've been told.
She read me like a book. Now I'm feeling two years old.
Wondering what she's not, and what she wants to hold,
And why she wants it.
Marie let's go away today.
I've well outlived the games we play.
Something's got to go, let it go now.
Trying to catch the show, tickets sold out.
Like a shoe maker's elf, hiding in the rough,
Working all the time. That's not good enough,
If the credit isn't mine.
Try to tell myself, just go and leave things nice.
But you know how that goes and takes her own advice
Repeat Chorus.
Our world is like a hot air balloon,
Flame holds us up, the heat is all we have to lose.
Still something keeps us tied to the ground.
We've got to cut loose the ropes, we're just hanging around.
Kiss your pretty face, and that leads me to more.
We need to find a place where we control the door.
And when the door is closed and no one can come in,
To rain on our parade, tell them where we've been.


9. I'LL B THE 1 2 LUV U (VIE, Z'NUFF)

Is there something in the air that says that you'll be here tonight?
So I change some things around, put dimmer bulbs in the lights.
I've rented two new videos, I've got some candy for your nose.
And baby all you've gotta do is still be holding me when morning comes.
(All you've gotta do, all you've gotta do)
Nothing's gotta change and you don't have to make promises.
I'll be the one to love you.
There is nothing that makes me feel the way I feel when you leave.
'Cause I don't know where you go, I don't know what to believe.
So I'll just keep my arms around you girl, and I'll protect you from the world.
Repeat Chorus.
The one to bring you up, the one to bring you down.
The one that's got enough to keep you hanging 'round.
I'll be the one to start the show.


10. GOODBYE, GOODBYE (VIE, Z'NUFF)

I'm such a loser and I don't know why. I see my baby and she's looking so fine.
Loved me up until today. I got so mad, made her go away.
I took advantage thinking I was king. I didn't want her 'cause she did her own thing.
Guess I'm so out of touch somehow, but I'm the one who's sorry now.
So I sit, and I cry, and I wave, wave goodbye, goodbye.
(Goodbye, goodbye) Well, my baby used to be here.
(Goodbye, goodbye) Ooh-hoo.
(Goodbye, goodbye) We didn't have to leave here,
I don't want to be the lone boy.
Attitudes are flying everywhere, I even told her how to wear her own hair,
And then I stopped making love to her, now I would die for a piece of her,
And I know I don't deserve, still I'm on my knees.
A week ago I would have never said please.
But now she's loving someone else. She went from poverty to wealth.
So I sit, and I cry, and I wave, wave goodbye, goodbye.
Repeat Chorus.
I hear our song come on the radio, I never ever could have felt it more.
What in the world am I gonna do without you, yeah you.
I'm still a loser and I don't know why. I see my baby and she's looking so fine.
Loved me up until today. I got so mad, made her go away.
So I sit, and I cry, and I wave, wave goodbye, goodbye.


11. YOU GOT A HOLD OF ME (AKA THE VALENTINE'S SONG) (DONNIE VIE)

It's Valentine's Day once again, though some were bad and some were good.
I do believe that's #10, to do again I surely would.
'Cause girl you know that I'm your man, and your man I'll always be, but...
Baby you got a hold of me.
I know you left a couple times, and I walked out a time or two.
Our face has bared a few more lines, there's no control of what we do.
But so far no one has gone mad, I don't think we're gonna be, 'cause...
Repeat Chorus.
Love, sweet love, I'm so afraid of, that the stars above aren't close enough
To reach out and to touch. So will you finally marry me?
And we could have ourselves a baby, and raise ourselves a family.
'Cause girl you know that I'm your man, and I'm always gonna be, but...


12. HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY (BONUS TRACK)

Here I stand head in hand, turn my face to the wall.
If she's gone I can't go on, feeling two foot small.
Everywhere people stare, each and every day.
I can see them laugh at me, and I hear them say...
Hey, you've got to hide your love away!
Hey, you've got to hide your love away!
How could I even try? I can never win.
Hearing them, seeing them, in the state I'm in.
How could she say to me, "Love will find a way?"
Gather round all you clowns, let me hear you say...
