{E}{E7}{G}
You put me down with the hand that picked me up
And I trusted you with my life you messed it up
I know there’s nothing left of you
I know there’s nothing you can do
I see your face it’s not the face I used to know
And you see me stare and you don’t care oh what’s the use
I know there’s nothing left of you
I know there’s nothing you can do
I try to say all the things to make it right
And you wanted more, so much more than I could give
I know there’s nothing left of you
I know there’s nothing you can do

Little Baby

Little baby Lying in her mother’s arms
Mamma keeps baby warm and away from harm
Daddy’s working for more pay
Doesn’t want to be so grey
Just in case his lover she leaves her man today.
What’ll I do for you?
What’ll I do for you?
Daddy’s sitting picking at a plate of food
Mamma wants to leave if only she could now
Soon the tempers start to fly
Blood is coming from mamma’s eye
Tell me why they do not hear their baby cry
What’ll I do for you?
What’ll I do for you?
One-day baby wakes and her daddy’s gone
Mamma sitting listening to her saddest song now
Said she’s felling safe at night
Hides her face keeps it out of sight
Tell me why she cry’s if every things all right?
Tell me why now tell me why she cry’s if everything all right
Tell me why she’s crying now
What’ll I do for you?
What’ll I do for you?

See the lady walking down the street I said
That's the woman I sure would like to meet I said
Oh baby can’t you feel the heat
Cause I want you want you
Won’t you be my baby?
I will give you furs and rings
I will give you pretty birds that sing
I will give you almost anything
Cause I want you baby want you baby
Wont you wont you wont you be my baby
Wont you wont you wont you be my girl
I will give you expensive cars
I will give you screaming guitars
I will give you anything you want
Cause I want you baby want you baby
Wont you wont you wont you be my baby
Wont you wont you wont you be my girl

Secrets

Look around at all the things inside,
Looking at the things we like to hide,
All the things no one ever sees,
All the things just between you and me.
I know that you will never let it out
I sit so still I'm staring at the wall,
I hear the voices coming from the hall,
Is it everything catching up with me,
All the things just between you and me.
I know that you will never let it out.
I'm led away there's nowhere left to hide,
All the things i've hidden deep inside,
All the things just between you and me,
Are lying there for everyone else to see.
I know that you will never let it out
I know that you will never scream and shout
No more.

Just for Us

Just for us
Please take my hand and I'll lead you far away,
I know this place where we both can find the space,
Just for us
Please don't look back and leave all regrets behind,
Just take that step and be proud in what we find,
Just for us
I know we cannot change this world that we're in
I know we've got to live each day,
I know there's people who will tell us what to do.
Lets not listen to what they say. X 2
Look in my eyes and believe in what you see,
We'll let it go and become all we can be
I know we cannot change this world that we're in
I know we've got to live each day,
I know there's people who will tell us what to do.
Lets not listen to what they say. X 2
Please take my hand and I'll lead you far away,
I know this place where we both can find the space,
Just for us

Johnny Briggs

Johnny Briggs goes down the corner shop,
Pulls a gun and asks for cigarettes.
The man he asks, hey, do you want my money?
Johnny Briggs said I'l take what I get.
And they said come on , come on , come on do it Johnny,
Come and do what comes naturally.
Come on, come on, come on do it Johnny,
It;s as easy as a 1, 2, 3.
Johnny was walking pockets feeling heavy,
saw some ladies standing down town and they said
hey Johnny would you like to party,
He said I would sure like to go down.
And they said come on , come on , come on do it Johnny,
Come and do what comes naturally.
Come on, come on, come on do it Johnny,
It;s as easy as a 1, 2, 3.
The party was swinging people were dancing,
Johnny Briggs was laying on the floor.
The party halted, people were screaming.
The Police had broken down the door.
And they said come on , come on , come on do it Johnny,
Come and do what comes naturally.
Come on, come on, come on do it Johnny,
It;s as easy as a 1, 2, 3.
Johnny got up smiled politely,
do you want to take me for a ride.
I am willing more that able,
can't you see I've got my gun by my side.
And they said come on , come on , come on do it Johnny,
Come and do what comes naturally.
Come on, come on, come on do it Johnny,
It;s as easy as a 1, 2, 3.
The policeman moved, Johnny's hand was twitching.
You could cut the tension with a knife.
His gun came out, Johnny was smiling,
I've been waiting for this all of my live.
And they said come on , come on , come on do it Johnny,
Come and do what comes naturally.
Come on, come on, come on do it Johnny,
It;s as easy as a 1, 2, 3.
