Mystery of Love

Babe I try to keep my cool and look before I leap
My body's making promises my head don't intend to keep
We all got an airtight alibi when we bring push to shove
We all can't wait till a twist of fate solve the mystery of love
Try to hide but I'm lit up like a flashing neon sign
You know how to ask the question boy how to read between the lines
We all got an airtight alibi when we bring push to shove
We all can't wait till a twist of fate solve the mystery of love
Testing water with my toes I'm just trying to save my skin
I wouldn't waste just a tiny taste, won't I lose more than I win
We all get hooked dragged down deep we never rise above
We all can't wait till a twist of fate solve the mystery of love
What a mystery is love

I play Texas Hold 'em it's a full grown woman's game
I play Texas Hold 'em and it's a full grown woman's game
They wear different suits hey beware they're just the same
I play Texas Hold 'Em and I always raise the stakes
I play Texas Hold 'Em and I always raise the stakes
When I go all in I'm in for some tough breaks
The jack of clubs he's mighty mean the 90 proof can stay his queen
The jack of spades tried a line but I don't put pearls before swine
When I play Texas Hold 'Em it's a full grown woman's game
They wear different suits hey beware they're just the same
The jack of diamonds crystal clear, diamonds ain't all they appear
The jack of hearts debonaire won't you show me a pocket pair
When I play Texas Hold 'Em it's a full grown woman's game
They wear different suits hey beware they're just the same

Love's Truly Blind
03:27
|

I inhale, see the glow from my cigarette tip
And longer it lingers than your taste on my lip
If you leave lights down we'll find love's truly blind
So far from my faith I've run out of hope and charity'd save me but she's out of rope
If you leave lights down we'll find love's truly blind
Unattainable boy I'm ashamed to still try
Irreplaceable I don't want to face it till I, till I

Playing Your Bottom Line
02:07
|

|
My man hired a private investigator, he had a reason not to trust a bass player
Never trust a bass player, never trust a bass player
If you trust a bass player she's playing your bottom line
I said see you in a week and now it's seven years later
Got a reason not to trust a bass player
Never trust a bass player, never trust a bass player
If you trust a bass player she's playing your bottom line
Well I drank your wine and went home with the waiter
Got a reason not to trust a bass player
Never trust a bass player, never trust a bass player
If you trust a bass player she's playing your bottom line

Little Redhead

Tired baby eyes heavy baby head
Just about half past eight comes that moment we all dread
Now you've brushed your teeth got your favorite PJs on
A teddy bear, the lights down low we've got time for one more song
Baby go to sleep in your own bed, hug your pillow tight
Go to sleep in your own little bed, snuggle down for the night
Said your mama needs her grown up time with the man she's wed
Say goodnight my favorite little redhead
The hundred acre wood is quiet as a mouse
Thomas and his engine friends are going back in the station house
Daddy's on the stair his patience nearly through
At this rate there'll never be a little brother or a sister for you
We'd paint the whole house blue to get you way down deep
Big bear and drowsy woodland friends are all safely counting sheep
Come say your children's prayers, the sun's about to quit
Don't make your papa wait because he's champing at the bit

If I'd worn something old with my brand new wedding gown
Would my baby be beside me, not halfway cross the town
Would our time not be borrowed if I'd worn a scrap of blue
Who'd have thought a blushing bride could be untrue
If he'd swept me over the threshold and murmured something sweet
Would my baby be beside me, how I miss his body heat
Didn't leave him at the altar I was sure we'd see it through
I never thought a blushing bride could be untrue
The tables have all turned now, it's me on bended knee
And mama weeps in her apron I've disgraced the family
My papa gives the evil eye, I'm such a fool because
I couldn't help but wonder if the best man really was
If I'd told of indiscretion, handed back the ring
Maybe I'd have my self respect, now I don't have a thing
If God had granted patience our loving could've grew
I never thought a blushing bride could be untrue

Tailor Made

Any smooth skin cherry I could leave on the tree
Sweeter than it's sour the way you jam with me
Any smooth skin cherry I could leave on the tree
But it's sweeter than it's sour's the way you want to jam with me
Any four foot pony I could leave in the stall
How could I pass up a rider kicking down my wall
Any four foot pony I could leave in the shade
I said boy we fit together just like we were tailor made
Kick it down
Any tall drink of water I could leave in the shade
How could I pass up a long cold drink of lemonade
Any tall drink of water I could leave in the shade
I said boy we fit together just like we were tailor made
