Something wrong between us
You've never been like this before
Something wrong between us
You've never been like this before
Please tell me what is on your mind
Why do you treat me so-oo-oo
You used to say sweet things about me
Now you just put me down
You used to say sweet things about me
Now you just put me down
Why do I turn you off why can't I turn you on on on
I just can't help but feel those vibrations
I just can't help but feel there's a lack of communication
Something wrong between us babe
Why can't things
Be like they
Used to be
Well I can't-ant-ant imagine why are you being so mean to me
Something wrong between us
You've never been like this before
Something wrong between us
You've never been like this before
Please tell me what is on your mind
Why do you treat me so-oo-oo
You used to say sweet things about me
Now you just put me down
You used to say sweet things about me
Now you just put me down
Why do I turn you off why can't I turn you on on on
I just can't help but feel those vibrations
I just can't help but feel there's a lack of communication
Something wrong between us babe
Why can't things
Be like they
Used to be
Well I can't-ant-ant imagine why are you being so mean to me

Mexico

This song is about reincarnation
I don't believe in reincarnation ... but I did in my last life
I've been to Mexico, I even stayed out of jail
Flown the friendly skies, ridden on a rusty rail
I've done everything once, most things I've done twice
But I never had it so nice, since I've been spending all my time with you
No I never had it so nice, since I've been spending all my time with you
I was sitting on a rainbow, my hands right on the wheel
Just a little drizzle now and then, made it all seem real
It's been a slice, some kind of paradise,
But I never had it so nice, since I've been spending all my time with you
No I never had it so nice, since I've been spending all my time with you
So sweet, so cool, so nice
I was a royal jester, back in the days of yore
A prehistoric creature many thousand years before
I've been everything and everyone, back in my past lives
But I never had it so nice, just being me with you
No I never had it so nice, just living in this life with you
No I never had it so nice

Blues with a Feeling

Blues with a feeling that's what I have today
Blues with a feeling that's what I have today
I got a find my baby if it takes all night and day
What a lonesome feeling when you're by yourself
What a lonesome feeling when you're by yourself
And the one your lovin is gone away and left
you know I love you baby
I just can't help myself
You're driving me crazy
Loving someone else
Blues with the feeling that's what I have today
I gotta find my baby if it takes all night and day

Twisted

If I jumped in the River, I bet you'd let me float away and drown
If I jumped in the River, I bet you'd let me float away and drown
You say you love me, But I never see you round
You're just Trouble baby, swinging way up in a thistle tree
You're just Trouble baby, swinging way up in a thistle tree
Trying to get to you, could cause an injury
Every time I see your face, my love life flashes before my eyes
Every time I see your face, my love life flashes before my eyes
Your words are haunting, but all twisted up in lies
So goodbye baby, goodbye heartburn and deception
So goodbye baby, goodbye heartburn and deception
You learn something new every day, today is no exception

Am I Wrong About You

AM I WRONG ABOUT YOU (version without bridge)
I can see you’re still with me, you would tell me if that weren’t true // You’d never let me down, you’d care for me just like you used to // But I’ve been wrong about some things in my life // Am I wrong about you?
You’d never slip out on me, like some other women do // you’d never cheat on me // You don’t expect to have your cake and eat it too // But I’ve been wrong about some things in my life // Am I wrong about you?

Deja Vous

Say I’ve seen that face before, At some particular time and place before, Well I don’t know, Could it be Déjà vu
Or just my imagination running away with you
I say I’ve seen those eyes before, I’ve never been so hypnotized before
Is that you, Doing that voo doo?, Or just my imagination running away with you.
I guess we never met before, at least we never met as yet before, But you’re so cool , And I’m so free
How about you and your imagination running away with me?

Snake River Crossing

No matter where I go, I always end up in the same place, No matter who I try to be, It's still me behind this face
And my past shoots right behind me in my rear view mirror, And I aim my future right along the line
And I know I'm really getting nowhere fast, as I cross that old Snake River one more time
There's an infinite highway rollin under my wheels, Windshield wipers tired from a long hard rain
And I swear I was here just a little while ago, Cause there's that old Snake River once again
At sixty-nine miles an hour I grip the steering wheel, Everything seems like it's moving except my auto-mo-bile
Like a cartoon background it keeps-a spinnin on by, & I see the same old scenes repeated from the corner of my eye
And if I wasn't runnin low on gas I wouldn't be at all surprised, as I cross that old Snake River one more time
There's an infinite highway rollin under my wheels, Windsheild wipers tired from the long hard rain
And I swear that I was here just a little while ago, Cause there's that old Snake River once again
No matter where I go, I always end up in the same place, No matter who I try to be, It's still me behind this face

Strange Dream

1. In the quiet of my dreams, like an angel without wings, she floated through the forest greens, while my heart- strings, played higher and higher. And all at once, a sparrow choir - sang; Come on baby light my fire, light my fire
2. And her love like golden lace, filled my world of inner space, with the colors of her glowing face, it was rapture, in her fire. And all above us, a sparrow choir - sang; This is your desire, your desire
3. Now you're standing right in front of me, and you stay reluctantly, I'm a stranger with a crazy dream, but I swear, I swear it's true, and if you'll stay awhile, then I can show you. You are my desire, my desire
4. In the quiet of my dreams, like an angel without wings, You floated through the forest greens, while my heart-strings, played higher and higher. And all around us, a sparrow choir - sang; This is your desire, your desire, You are my desire, my desire, So won't you let me light your fire, light your fire. Let me light your fire.
