She's Emotion
(Sniderman/Ridley)

She's got a closet full of hang-ups
Wears a new one every day
And she washes them with tears
Until the colors fade away
And she picks 'em up and rings 'em out
And hangs 'em up to dry
And squintin' on a clear day
You can see 'em fly right by

CHORUS
And she's emotion
She's emotion
She's emotion
Only one I ever had

There's a black T-shirt she wears
When she's out of town
Can't see no dirt or tears
'Til she's drowned
And she'll laugh at all my fears
When we're alone
Talkin' to me naked
On the telephone
CHORUS

She whispers
"Mirror, mirror on the wall
Watch me stand up
Above it all."
A made-up face
At the star-struck ball
But she's still naked
Underneath it all
She's still naked
Underneath it all

I got a closet full of hang-ups
Wear a new one every day
And I wash 'em out with tears
Until the colors fade away
And I pick 'em up and ring 'em out
And hang 'em up to dry
And I'll see you in the morning
With the sun in your eyes

CHORUS

I Need A Life
(Sniderman)

The days are gettin' shorter
But my nights are gettin' longer
Since I've been alone in this town
I don't know which escalator
Can take me out of this depression
But the one I'm on just keeps goin' down

I need a life
Not just something to do
I wanna be someone
But I can't remember who
Since I left
Don't know what I'm 'sposed to do
Only my two legs to stand on
And the floor keeps falling through

Walk through some ugly buildings
Just like some old broken clock
Don't even know he's right twice a day
All those pretty girls won't even
Say a word to me
But if they did I don't know what I'd say

Probably say I need a life
Not just something to do
I wanna be someone
But I can't remember who
Since I left
Don't know what I'm 'sposed to do
Only my two legs to stand on
And the floor keeps falling through

Well I could wait a little more
Maybe it'd be better than before
But I just can't stand to knock
On another closed door
I don't know if I need this
Or I'm just not satisfied
I only know I need some more

I need a life
Not just something to do
I wanna be someone
But I can't remember who
Since I left
Don't know what I'm 'sposed to do
Only my two legs to stand on
And the floor keeps falling through

I Wanna Be Loved
(Sniderman)

I wanna be loved
Not taken for granted
I put you so far above
Where you were actually standin'
You were my God
I thought your touch would be holy
I wanted so bad Just for you to hold me

I wanted you to be everything I needed
And I wanted you to be everyone I wanted

You were the one
The only thing that I wanted
It took me so long
To see who you were
I needed a place
Two strong arms to hold me
I needed a face
And that's just what you showed me

I wanted it to be just like it happened in my dreams
Well it's strange, 'cause it seems those dreams never come to be

Used to want to put you
So far above
But now baby all I want Is to be loved
Love
Love
I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved

Every Day (2)
(Sniderman/Ridley)

The same kind of frustration
Every day, every day
No way out of the situation
Every day, every day
Each kiss becomes humiliation
Every day, every day
Did something rash and got irritation
Every day, every day

Every day you say I'm so dumb
I must be 'cause I still come
You're so cold I just get numb
No prize when I stick in my thumb

You're an Indian giver without reservation
Every day, every day
You're not a bad trip, you're a bad vacation
Every day, every day
Your train of thought never left the station
Every day, every day
If you don't get it there's no explanation
Every day, every day

Every day you say I'm so dumb
I must be 'cause I still come
You're so cold I just get numb
No prize when I stick in my thumb

Jesus Christ gave me salvation
Every day, every day
I'm a fallen victim to temptation
Every day, every day
I'm a sinner Lord I need redemption
Every day, every day
Send an angel down in jubilation
Every day, every day

Every day you say I'm so dumb
I must be 'cause I still come
You're so cold I just get numb
No prize when I stick in my thumb

N.O. Groove (Sniderman)

Thought you felt for me
But it was just a part of the plan
Sittin' down I got stood up
But at least I know where I stand

Ya tell me I ain't involved
And that I shouldn't feel slighted
I'm the third party
And I didn't get invited
I'm the third party
And I didn't get invited

You were my fantasy
You became his reality
It's such a relief to know you're gone
Yeah I'm pissed off, but it's better than being pissed on

Ya tell me I ain't involved
And that I shouldn't feel slighted
I'm the third party
And I didn't get invited
I'm the third party
And I didn't get invited

You made up your face
When you shoulda made up your mind
He held you in his arms
Now he won't give you the time of day anymore

Ya tell me I ain't involved
And that I shouldn't feel slighted
I'm the third party
And I didn't get invited
I'm the third party
And I didn't get invited

Barry White
(Sniderman)

Well let me jimmy your lock
And baby come inside
You got me started up
Now come along for the ride

Well baby strap me on
And honey hold on tight
Your old boy might be a lover
But he's no Barry White

Well get out of that dress
And come back for more
When I first saw you in it
I knew it'd be lying on my floor
And let me live in your house
And spend all your money
And what's the use of livin'
If you're drinkin' tea without your honey

Well baby strap me on
And honey hold on tight
Your old boy might be a lover
But he's no Barry White

Take me down tonight
We'll dive past the river
If you'll forget him
Well maybe I'll forgive her
And baby jump out of that blouse
And show yours to the moon
And as sure as I'm singin' I'll change that tune

Well baby strap me on
And honey hold on tight
Your old boy might be a lover
But he's no Barry White

Combat Boots
(Sniderman)

Well I was sweet on this girl
Well, ain't that news
She stepped on my heart
With combat boots
Now I got a hole in my heart
Just like the hole in her shoes
And all the duct tape in the world
Can't mend my heart or those combat boots

Well last night on the town
This girl she went down
Wearing duct tape over her boobs
She pulled down her pants
Put me in a trance Till I saw her in those combat boots

She's got a hole in her heart
Just like the hole in her shoes
And all the duct tape in the world
Can't mend my heart or those combat boots
Well now I saw her on TV
She was smilin' back at me
Such a sight to see
As she was stompin' on the hearts of the Iraqi

Well shootin' bullets at mirages
Wishin' they were back in their garages
Stead of dyin' out here in Beirut
They'd like to retire instead of open fire
And take off those combat boots

They got a hole in their hearts
Just like the holes in their shoes
And all the duct tape in the world
Can't mend their hearts or those combat boots

Jodie
(Sniderman)

Jodie
Saw you on the cover of a magazine
Foster
Like the beer they drink in Australia
Jodie
What would you do if I said I loved you?
I promise no President would get shot

It's been so long
Since I saw you off the screen
Your hair is like the fire
On a burning cross in a Klansman's dream

Oh Jodie
I know you're probably shooting at some glamorous location
You know I wear my heart on my sleeve
And Jodie
I know you probably date some hot young actress
She's the one you want, honey I'm the one you need

It's been so long
Since I saw you off the screen
My heart burns for you
Like a burning cross in a Klansman's dream

Jodie
Oh Jodie
Hey Jodie
Yeah now Jodie

Nevermind

Paralyzed
(Sniderman)

Paralyzed
Caught telling a pair of lies
Wishing I could talk to you
From the moment I laid eyes on you
So afraid
A fool out of the words I made
I never knew what to do
When I laid eyes on you

I just got paralyzed
The day you found me
My four eyes go blind when you're around me
Paralyzed
I was paralyzed
I was paralyzed
Caught telling a pair of lies
Wishing I could sleep with you
And hold you close the whole night through

Paralyzed
Caught telling a pair of lies
Wishing I could talk to you
From the moment I laid eyes on you
So afraid
A fool out of the words I made
I never knew what to do
When I laid eyes on you

I just got paralyzed
I was paralyzed
I was
I was paralyzed
I was paralyzed
Caught telling a pair of lies
Wishing I could talk to you
From the moment I laid eyes on you
So afraid
A fool out of the words I made
I never knew what to do
When I laid eyes on you

I just got paralyzed
Paralyzed
I was paralyzed

Stranded
(Sniderman)

Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me stranded
Shoulda been gone

Two seats away from paradise
That's the story of my life
Always dreamed I'd go
Get lucky , get famous, get on the radio

So
Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me stranded
Shoulda been gone

Stuck here at my mother's
Ain't nobody home
Always dreamed I'd be somebody else
That way I'd never be alone

So
Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me stranded
Shoulda been gone

You're leavin' me
You're leavin' me
You're leavin' me
Well don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't

Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me stranded
Shoulda been gone
Shoulda been gone
Shoulda been gone
Shoulda been gone
Shoulda been gone
