Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should
Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl,
You’re much too young, girl
Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She’s the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry
Still, you don’t regret a single day
Ah, girl, girl, girl
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can’t live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Read yourself into history
Rewrite your dementia
Goin’ out of my head over you
Out of my head over you out of my head day and night
Night and day and night, wrong or right
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I’m a lady
Men’s shirts, short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild yeah, doin’ it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction
Color my hair, do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I want to be free yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don’t know where I am goin’ to
Silk suit, black tie,
I don’t need a reason why
They come runnin’ just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man
I’m puttin’ on my top hat
Tyin’ up my white tie
Brushin’ off my tails
I’m dudin’ up my shirt front
Puttin’ in the shirt studs
Polishin’ my nails
I’m steppin’ out, my dear
To breathe an atmosphere
That simply reeks with class
And I trust that you’ll excuse my dust
When I step on the gas
Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it’s hard to slow this swinger down
So please don’t give a thought to me, I’m really doin’ fine
You can always find me here, I’m havin’ quite a time
Countin’ flowers on the wall
That don’t bother me at all
Playin’ solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain Kangaroo
Now don’t tell me I’ve nothin’ to do
Now I’m the king of the swingers, the jungle V.I.P
I reached the top and had to stop
And that’s what bothering me
I want to be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into town
And be just like those other men
I’m tired of monkeying around
I’m a fleabit peanut monkey
And all my friends are junkies
That’s not really true
I’m a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
That’s amore
When the world seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine
That’s amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you’ll sing “Vita bella”
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
So let your light so shine before men,
Let your light so shine,
So that they might know some kindness again,
We all need help to feel fine–
Let’s have some wine!
Drink me into you,
I go down smooth…
You’ll never be quenched
Like that move?
Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
And I’ll not look for wine.
I’d just like to know do you love him or just making time
By filling his glass with your fast flowing bitter-sweet wine.
He’ll taste the aftertaste when you come home late some night.
With your eyes all a mist from the smoke of a distant fire.
When the final line is over
And it’s certain that the curtain’s gonna fall
I can hide inside your sweet sweet love
Forever more
Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We are part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
But I’m frightened for your children
And the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we’ve been waiting for
Will turn to rain
And now that it’s all over,
The birds can nest again.
I’ll only snow when the sun comes out;
I’ll shine only when it starts to rain.
And if you want a drink,
Just squeeze my hand,
And wine will flow into the land,
And feed my lambs…
