LYRICS

Any Woman’s Blues  -  M. LeBow/ D. Calitri


GOT A RUN IN MY STOCKING
GOTTA RUN, GOT A TRAIN TO CATCH 
IT’S BEEN ONE LONG HELLUVA DAY
AND IT AIN’T OVER YET

GOT A COUPLE OF KIDS WAITING 
GOT A MAN THAT I LOVE TO PLEASE 
EVERYBODY’S HUNGRY FOR SOMETHING 
AND EVERYBODY’S LOOKIN TO ME
OH, WHAT’S A GIRL TO DO


CHORUS:
ANY WOMAN, ANY WOMAN, ANY WOMAN’S BLUES
TRY TO HAVE IT ALL, BUT YOU’VE REALLY GOT TO CHOOSE
EITHER WAY YOU’VE GOT SOMETHIN’ TO LOSE
ANY WOMAN, ANY WOMAN, ANY WOMAN’S BLUES


I WANNA BE LIKE MY MOTHER
BU I WANNA BE LIKE MY DADDY TOO
I’VE GOT A 24-7 AND A 9 TO 5
IT SURE AIN’T EASY TO DO

IT TAKES A MIGHTY STRONG WOMAN
AND A MAN WITH A TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY VIEW
WE’VE COME A LONG WAY
BUT THIS OL’ WORLD’S GOT A LOT OF CATCHIN’ UP TO DO
OH WHAT’S A GIRL TO DO

BAD CASE OF THE MORNING AFTER  -  M. LeBow/ D. Calitri


LAST CALL AT THE LATE NIGHT
ALL THE LONELY HEARTS HAD GONE HOME
I SAW A REFLECTION IN MY EMPTY GLASS
AND I KNEW THAT I WASN’T ALONE
OH ME, OH MY
THOUGHT HE WAS JUST ANOTHER GUY
SO TELL ME WHY AM I

CHORUS:
CAUGHT BETWEEN MY TEARS AND LAUGHTER
I CAN FEEL MY HEART BEAT FASTER 
COULD THIS BE LOVE OR JUST ANOTHER DISASTER
GOT A BAD CASE OF THE MORNING AFTER

LAST LOOK IN THE REARVIEW 
AS WE WERE LEAVING THE CITY BEHIND
PAST TE FORK IN THE ROAD AND THROUGH THE YELLOW LIGHT 
AND THE FLASH OF THE DANGER SIGN
OH ME, OH MY
WE WERE FOLLOWING THE STARS IN THE SKY
ON SUCH AN INCREDIBLE RIDE

CHORUS

THE NIGHT, THAT COULD’VE BEEN LIKE ANY OTHER NIGHT
THIS MIGHT JUST BE THE START OF SOMETHING THAT’S SO RIGHT
I WONDER, BABY

LAST THING I REMEMBER
I WAS LIFTING THE VEIL FROM MY EYES
AS I STOOD AT THE ALTAR OF THE CHURCH OF ELVIS
THE PREACHER SAID, “KISS THE BRIDE”
OH ME, ON MY
IGUESS HE’S THE LUCKY GUY
AND MAYBE SO AM I

IT AIN’T OVER ‘TIL IT’S OVER - M. LeBow/ D. Calitri


SUN IS SHINING AS THE BUS ROLLS IN
LIKE A WARM WELCOME FROM A LONG LOST FRIEND
SEEMS LIKE FOREVER FROM WHERE I’VE BEEN
OH, I REMEMBER AN EASIER TIME
NOW THERE’S SO MUCH AHEAD OF ME THAT I’M FALLING BEHIND

I’VE BEEN SPINNING MY WHEELS
CLICKING MY HEELS
STILL DON’T KNOW HOW TRUE LOVE FEELS
BUT, IT AIN’T OVER ‘TIL IT’S OVER
I’VE BEEN KNOCKED DOWN, TURNED AROUND
GAVE UP BUT I WON’T GIVE IN
DON’T COUNT ME OUT, I’LL BE BACK AGAIN

MY OLD BOYFRIEND’S GOT A WIFE AND KIDS 
AND A BRAND NEW HOUSE WAY UP ON HIGHLAND RIDGE
WITH FINGERPANTINGS TAPED TO THE FRIDGE
OH, IF I WANTED IT, IT COULD’VE BEEN ME
BUT I HAD TO BE THE BIG FISH IN A BIGGER SEA

CHORUS

HEAL MY WEARY HEART
GIVE ME BACK MY STRENGTH TO START AGAIN

THIS PLACE IS HOME TO ME, BUT I CAN’T STAY 
SO I FILLED UP A SUITCASE WITH THE THINGS I NEED
A LITTLE HOPE, A LITTLE PATIENCE
AND A REASON TO BELIEVE

THIS LIFE OF OURS - M. LeBow


THIS LIFE OF OURS AIN’T GRAND BUT IT’S GORGEOUS
IT IS WHAT IT IS
THIS LIFE OF OURS WAS TAILOR-MADE JUST FOR US
WHAT IT TAKES AND WHAT IT GIVES
WE MAKE THE RULES AND WE BREAK ‘EM
WE REVISE AND WE FAKE ‘EM
IN THE NAME OF LOVE, WE ABIDE
THIS LIFE OF OURS IS ALL WE MAKE IT

YOU GAVE TO ME WHAT I THOUGHT I'D NEVER FIND 
JUST WHAT I WAS SEARCHING FOR
I WAS YOUR SIGNAL, I WAS YOUR SIGN
THAT YOU NEEDED NOTHING MORE
HAPPILY EVER AFTER AIN’T TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
THIS LIFE OF OURS AIN’T GRAND BUT IT’S GORGEOUS
ALL BECAUSE ON ME AND YOU

THERE AIN’T MUCH MONEY CAN’T BUY
OR SO IT SEEMS
BUT, WE CAN COUNT OUR EVERY BLESSING
AND STILL BANK ON OUR DREAMS

THIS LIFE OF OURS AIN’T GRAND BUT IT’S GORGEOUS
HEY, IT’S ALL THET WE’VE GOT
TREASURE FOREVER THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE
WE DON’T MISS WHAT WE HAVE NOT
IN THE NAME OF LOVE, WE ABIDE
ALL WE’VE KNOWN IS TRUE AND TRIED
THIS LIFE OF OURS AIN’T GRAND BUT IT’S GORGEOUS
ALL BECAUSE OF YOU AND I

BEIN’ A WOMAN  (AIN’T GOT NOTHIN’ TO DO WITH A MAN) - M. LeBow/ D. Calitri


LEFT A LIGHT ON FOR YOU BABY, LET YOUR DINNER GET COLD
MADE ALL OF YOUR EXCUSES FOR YOU, BUT THEY WERE GETTIN’ OLD
WOULD’VE WAITED ALL NIGHT, BUT THERE’S GOT TO COME A TIME
WHEN IT AIN’T ABOUT YOURS BABY, IT’S ABOUT MINE

TOOK MY SHOUES OUT OF THE CLOSET,
THE ONES YOU NEVER LET ME WEAR
SPRAYED THE PERFUME THAT YOU BOUGHT ME
JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE
WOULD’VE LEFT A LITTLE MESSAGE, BUT I DIDN’T SEE THE NEED
YOU LIKE YOUR INDEPENCENCE, I’M JUST FOLLOWING YOUR LEAD

BEIN’ A WOMAN, I NEVER, NEVER COULD BELIEVE
THAT ADAM EVER, EVER, GAVE THAT RIB TO EVE
FLESH AND BLOOD, HERE I STAND
I MADE ME WHO I AM
BEIN’ A WOMAN AIN’T GOT NOTHIN’ TO DO WITH A MAN

WELL I’VE TIPTOED AROUND HERE JUST A LITTLE TOO LONG
BEEN AFRAID TO TELL YOU BABY, WHEN I KNOW YOU’VE DONE ME WRONG
NOW MAYBE YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
AMD MAYBE YOU WON’T 
WHETHER YOU TAKE ME AS I AM OR WHETHER YOU DON’T

CHORUS

FLESH AND BLOOD HERE I STAND
I MADE ME WHO I AM

BITTEN BY THE LOVEBUG - M. LeBow


BITTEN BY THE LOVEBUG EARLY IN THE SPRING
I’VE GOT THE FEVER, YOU’VE GOT THE THING TO HEAL ME
BITTEN BY THE LOVEBUG, I FEEL THE STING
I’M BURNIN’ UP BABY, YOU’VE GOT THE THING TO HEAL ME
LISTEN… I’M SMITTEN
I KNOW I’VE BEEN BITTEN BY THE LOVEBUG

GUESS IT’S BEEN GOIN’ AROUND, EVERYBODY’S GOT THE BUG
I HEAR TELL A SURE CURE IS A KISS AND A HUG
WELL, I THINK THAT YOU FIT THE DESCRIPTION
OF THE MAN WHO CAN FILL MY PRESCRIPTION
FOR THE SAKE OF SCIENCE, HONEY, YOU CAN’T SAY NO

CHORUS

AIN’T NO PILL, AIN’T NO TONIC, AIN’T NO LOTION
FOR THE COMMON AILMENT CAUSED BY THE ROMANTIC NOTION
I’VE GOT SUCH A SERIOUS CASE
YOU BETTER MAKE A HOUSECALL TO MY PLACE
YOU’VE GOT TO TREAT ME
WHY DON’T YOU MEET ME HERE TONIGHT

GOT TO FOLLOW DOCTOR’S ORDERS AND HERE’S WHAT HE SAID
TAKE A GOOD INJECTION OF LOVE AND AFFECTION
AND YOU BETTER GO STRAIGHT TO BED
WELL, THE REMEDY AIN’T SO BAD
I THINK IT’S THE BEST MEDICINE I’VE HAD
OH BABY, I DON’T WANT TO GET WELL

STAY GOLD - M. LeBow/ D. Calitri


SUSAN’S ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS
STILL LOOKS THE SAME AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
IT’S LIKE SHE NEVER LEFT AT ALL
MY BIG SISTER, MY BEST FRIEND
I LIVE FOR THE LETTERS THAT SHE’LL NEVER SEND
AND I MISS HER FOOTSTEPS IN THE HALL
I CAN STILL HEAR HER SAY 
WITH TEARS IN HER EYES AS SHE TURNED AWAY
YOU CAN LOSE YOUR HEART, BUT NEVER LOSE YOUR SOUL

STAY GOLD… LIKE THE SUN ON THE HORIZON
LIKE THE LEAVES BEFORE THEY FALL
STAY GOLD… SOMEDAY YOU’LL REALIZE
ALL THAT GLITTERS JUST AIN’T WORTH MUCH AFTER ALL

FANCY CARS AND PHONY FRIENDS
IN OVER HER HEAD, HE GOT UNDER HER SKIN
LOVE CAN SURELY MAKE YOU BLIND
WAY TOO BIG FOR THIS SMALL TOWN
HE WAS BURNIN’ UP AND SHE FOLLOWED HIM DOWN
LORD, SHE LEFT US ALL BEHIND
I LOOKED UP TO HER, SHE LOOKED OUT FOR ME
SHE SAID, THIS AIN’T THE WAY THAT IT HAS TO BE
YOU CAN LOSE YOUR HEART, BUT NEVER LOSE YOUR SOUL

CHORUS

I CAN STILL HEAR HER SAY
WITH TEARS IN HER EYES AS SHE TURNED AWAY
YOU CAN LOSE YOUR HEART, BUT NEVER LOSE YOUR SOUL

ALL THE GOOD ONES ARE TAKEN - M. LeBow


TOM SENDS FLOWERS
WILL SENDS CARDS
JACK SENDS ALL HIS LOVE
BOBBY’S AN ABSOLUTELY PERFECT DREAM
SENT FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
BUT TOM BELONGS TO MARY
AND WILL’S ENGAGED TO SUE
JACK’S FOREVER SHARI’S
BOBBY… WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?

ALL THE GOOD ONES ARE TAKEN
AND IF THEY’RE NOT, THEY’RE LYIN’ OR THEY’RE FAKIN’
ONCE YOU’VE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK
AND REALLY TAKEN STOCK
THERE COMES A RUDE AWAKENING
ALL THE GOOD ONES ARE TAKEN

A MODICUM OF CHARM AND A MATCH OF WITS
IS THAT TOO MUCH TOO ASK
A MAN OF HONOR IS SO HARD TO FIND
LET ALONE A LOVE THAT LASTS 
IT SEEMS THE WIDE SELECTION HAS DWINDLED TO A FEW
NOW IT’S SUCH A SAD COLLECTION
I DO BELIEVE IT’S TRUE… THAT

CHORUS

LOSERS, LIEAR, CHEATERS AND CADS
SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME
BUT IN A WORLD OF HAPPY COUPLES ALL HOLDIN’ HANDS
WHEREVER IS HE COMIN’ FROM

BACK TO TOP

I WISH - M. LeBow/ B. Shanahan


I WISH THE SKY WAS ALWAYS BLUE
I WISH THE GOOD OLD DAYS WERE NEW
I WISH THAT LOVE WAS TRUE
I WISH I WERE WITH YOU

I WISH THAT SPRING WOULD NEVER END
I WISH THAT TIME WAS JUST TO SPEND
WHY NOT? WELL, I WISH I KNEW
I WISH I WERE WITH YOU

I WISH THE NIGHTS WERE NOT SO LONG
I WISH THAT I HADN’T BEEN SO WRONG
NOW HERE I AM JUST WISHIN’ ON A STAR 
AND WONDERIN’ WHERE YOUR ARE
I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE

I WISH THE SUN WAS ALWAYS SHINING
I WISH I COULD FIND THE SILVER LINING IN THESE CLOUDS
LIKE WE USED TO DO
I WISH I WERE WITH YOU

BACK TO TOP

I SURRENDER - M. LeBow/ D. Calitri

DON’T KNOW HOW IT CAME TO BE
THAT I STAND BEFORE YOU NOW
WITH MY ARMS SO FULL OF THE YEARS
LIKE SOUVENIRS I CAN’T PUT DOWN
AND THE ROAD SEEMS SO LONG
I’M WEARY AND CONFUSED
I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT I’M SO AFRAID TO LOSE

I SURRENDER… MY HEART IS IN YOUR HANDS
I LAY MY BODY DOWN TONIGHT INTO YOUR ARMS SO TENDER
AND I SURRENDER

FOR ALL THAT I WANDERED
I NEVER FOUND A HOME
SURROUNDED BY SO MANY FACES, TO FIND MYSELF ALONE
AND NOW YOU COME TO ME
ALMOST LIKE YOU KNEW I NEEDED TO BELIEVE
CAN I BELIEVE IN YOU

CHORUS

TELL ME IT’S ARIGHT
TELL ME I’LL BE FINE
TELL ME THIS IS LOVE
AFTER ALL THIS TIME
