1.	How Come Sweet Gum 01:48	lyrics	buy track
How come you don't get along with me How come you don't get along with me You don't even show a trace, of geniality How come you don't get along with me How come you try to make me cry How come you try to make me cry You work on my face until breaking my eye How come you try to make me cry How come you never say hello How come you never say hello You always race right past my window How come you never say hello How come you always acting smug How come you always acting smug Your the opposite of grace, I have never seen you shrug How come you always acting smug How come you make my wanna punch yo lip How come you make my wanna punch yo lip Ill whack you with a mace, ill give your shirt a rip How come you make my want to punch your lip
2.	Hints Are Not Half Hearted 02:06	lyrics	buy track
Well, I think ill call you late march snow Because I want you to leave but you just wont go Do you really need me to say it? Why do you have to delay it? Well, don't you realize that I'm sick of the cold And dreaming of heat is really getting old Cant you just take the hint? Do you need it in print? Please baby its time for you to go Please baby you have reached the end of the show Well it was fun to to ride my sleigh But now I'm tired and I don't want to play Wont you just leave me alone? Cant you just throw me a bone? Have you guzzled down a rum barrel of coffee Are you on some kind of pills, because tonight you seem oftly Gee your throat must be sore Do you need me to show you the door? I have nothing to say anymore Please baby its time for you to go Please baby you have reached the end of the show
3.	Wander With Me 03:18	lyrics	buy track
I cant tell you where where going I cant say where well end up Like doves in the wind a blowin' Searching for a place to slump But if its true life has a meaning Locked in a safe by eternity Understand theres no machining That can replace the swallowed key My advise is to stop searching And to come wander with me Our paths our surly merging So come wander with me Babe the big and Yazoo river Never ponder or expect Instead, its gravity that delivers Them to the place where they connect And the water flowing downward May be headed toward the sea Yet a lake that it encounters May be where it wants to be My advise is to stop searching And to come wander with me Our paths our surly merging So come wander with me So if you want to walk together I welcome you with an open hand I'm sure well face all kinds of weather But as one we will stand My advise is to stop searching And to come wander with me Our paths our surly merging So come wander with me
4.	Please Come Home 03:46	lyrics	buy track
Ive been waiting in the darkness all alone for so long I'm thinking I'm going insane Ive got no idea when you'll come along And wonder if my waiting is in vain Wont you please come home I'm tired of chewing on my bone If I wait any longer ill surly moan Wont you please come home I'm hungry, I'm thirsty and I need you to help Aint nothing I can do without you I'm restless, I'm wild and I'm ready to yelp I need some walking time outside with you Wont you please come home I'm tired of chewing on my bone If I wait any longer ill surly moan Wont you please come home Oh oh head on back to our place I'm aching and yearning your warm embrace Don't care what you did, who you saw All I care is that you come back alright I miss you I love you I want you right here I want to snuggle and kiss you all night
5.	Thats What I Call Love 01:49	lyrics	buy track
When the eyes see their match And the lips beg to attach You sweet and forget, the treat Of the fire And your home all alone With your ear glued to the phone Oh babe Thats what i call love When everything you used to hate Suddenly lost all of its weight Babe, i think i know whats going on with that thing pumping between your lungs You see their name written in the clouds And their masquerader in the crowds Oh babe, Thats what i call love When you know that all the stars, Saturn Neptune and mars Couldn't hold all the happiness you feel And, Zeus' Aphrodite would say Your bond is majestic and mighty Oh babe, Thats what i call love Eclipsing sun and moon Clock hands at noon Seem askew when compared to you two together You will lick each others wounds Make sure each others strings are tuned Oh babe, Thats what i call love When you'd trade all 8 of your pawns For that single queen to lean on Valiantly facing 16 foes alone, together Through the ups and the downs Wearing straw hats or crowns Thats what I call love
6.	Together 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Oh my baby, I love her so We go down, to the jersey shore Well get coffee, in the morning and bagels too Be on the parkway by 11, be on the beach by noon As we grow up together I know that well be forever Theres no one more perfect than me and you My baby, my honey bear You can call me snuggly bunches mccudikns and I don't care We'll take our dogs for a walk in the park We'll sit on a bench and we'll talk Some people will come by and say you too look so cute today And we'll say we know We already know As we grow up together I know that well be forever Theres no one more perfect than me and you But days without your face seem so damn long I love to hear your voice when we talk on the phone But its not enough I need you here I need you here in my arms As we grow up together I know that well be forever Well fair through any kind of weather It will always be perfect you know its true

Well its 11 o'clock on a Saturday prowl Lookin' for a lover with a penetrating smile I'll keep my hands to myself, gee you feel so nice Hey, let me take you to a basement You'll look so exotic in the neon light Babe, you'll get a hot pink paper bracelet It'll Bring out the blue in your eyes tonight Got your hip tattoo of an upside down cross Diggin' the way your riding on the evening bus Come along if you trust me, but I wont ask you twice Hey, let me take you to a basement You'll look so exotic in the neon light Babe, you'll get a hot pink paper bracelet It'll Bring out the blue in your eyes tonight We could pound back a few, I know it'll warm us up Forget that new movie, forget that expensive night club I know a place it'll be just alright, but if you don't wanna come I wont put up a fight Hey, let me take you to a basement You'll look so exotic in the neon light Babe, you'll get a hot pink paper bracelet It'll Bring out the blue in your eyes tonight
8.	Hey Baby Doll 03:25	lyrics	buy track
Hey baby doll, how you livin' You work here in the mall sellin' care for skin? Its just funny our last conversation You said you could design fashion in Berlin Howdy jack, tell me whats good Ten years ago you always could Now your a carpenter gluing wood You wife left you for some robin hood Some people are just a dying fad Once they leave there moms and their dads And they find the want ads Want someone in stripes but they only bought plaid Hows it shakin' dutches, (peck on cheek) Its been a minute since I heard you squeak Who woulda though you hit your peak You 26 and you neglect your physique Hey buddy, put er there Hows Americas favorite teddy bear Where is your beard you look like a square Looks like corporate hunters caught you in there snare Some people are just a dying fad Once they leave there moms and their dads And they find the want ads Want someone in stripes but they only bought plaid The only thing I say bought myself Is indeed I know the value of health and wealth And I know my likes change with the seasons But I always move forward to find my meaning And know to answer only to me Requires dottin' your own i's and crossin' your tees You need to pedal your own bike without skiddin' your knee To live my life as a man thats free
9.	Inches Away 02:56	lyrics	buy track
My dreams came true the day that I met you Nothing ever seemed so sure to me I knew our love could grow if we let it Grow to be stronger than the sea Time moves quick Life's a ballet When the girl of your dreams sleeps just inches away It's safe to say my darlin' you complete me You make the sun shine bright when I am low and down and blue I love to hold you tightly into the evening And feel your warmth as the dawn comes into view Time moves quick Life's a ballet When the girl of your dreams sleeps just inches away My dreams came true the day I met my darlin' Nothing ever seemed so sure to me I knew our love could fly higher than a starling Soaring over the wispy mountaintops of Tennessee Time moves quick Life's a ballet When the girl of your dreams sleeps just inches away
10.	Greatest Gift 03:21	lyrics	buy track
Not a coat of many colors, gold frankincense or myrrh Not a hundred thousand dollars, or a ship of tiger furs Not a genie's wishes granted: four or three or two Not even an enchantment, to keep the sky above me blue Baby, Cant you see I know you don't always believe it But, your the greatest gift that can be Not leading a million soldiers, with an aristeia glow Not the world falling on my shoulders, saving it from a lethal blow Not an Archimedes lever, makin' me extra strong, Not living for forever, unless you could come along Baby, Cant you see I know you don't always believe it But, your the greatest gift that can be Not having some sort of Mozart, write me a set of quartets Not my nemesis falling short, in a game of Russian roulette Not speaking tongues of every culture, Hawaiian, Wolof, and Thai Not a copper plated sculpture, 150 storeys high Baby, Cant you see I know you don't always believe it But, your the greatest gift that can be
11.	Stormy Window 01:57	lyrics	buy track
When you slammed the door And left me all alone Kneeling on the floor I couldn't help but moan Since you've been gone Ive been waitin' I want you to know My wrist is restin' Against a stormy window You really shook me up Nothin' seems the same Ive gut a tangle of guts With a sinkin' pain You left me stranded Shakin', tired Bitter, weary, and low Ive been fearin' the world Outside the stormy window Baby, darlin', honey, dear I want you back with me here Birds a chirpin', sunshine a smilin' Breezes blowin' but I'm stuck a cryin' Pushin' my palms Against the stormy window I know your gone for good Its settled into my mind Still the crack in my heart Is pounding colder than ice Ive gone crazy, I've gone nuts Why cant i just start a-hatin' your guts I'm bangin' my head On a stormy window
