We’re not perfect me and you But it’s the crack in the armor where the light shines through In this world of chasing reason You’re my dose of crazy We find joy from a walk in the sun We have easy fun, easy fun And you made me see a different side Of a long car ride And a short sweet life All along you had the answer When it comes to life, you are the master My sweet friend, the lesson is in your Never Changing Love The glass half empty or the glass half full You drink it all up it doesn’t matter to you You never thought of greater things than Being faithful Earthbound angel All along you had the answer When it comes to life, you are the master My sweet friend, the lesson is in your Never Changing Love Humankind Can be so blind But quietly you’re wise And when I just can’t see the Good in me I see it in your eyes All along you had the answer When it comes to life, you are the master My sweet friend, the lesson is in your Never Changing Love My sweet friend, the lesson is in my Never Changing Love

Crescent Moon I can hang my hat on you We can hang out in your living room And watch the stars twinkle I would not mind Getting high on some good moonshine Visit my baby through a winkle in time Cause that bird has flown Crescent Moon we’re on our own When you’re full of yourself It’s like you’re somebody else The man judging me from above And a half of a pie Just won’t satisfy When you’re hungry as I for love Crescent Moon Your curves get me in the mood We can pour down pitchers of woo So she can feel me when it’s rainin’ If you please Please lessen the gravity Sing sweet lullabies to me Don’t make me dream alone Crescent Moon we’re on our own When you’re full of yourself It’s like you’re somebody else The man judging me from above And a half of a pie Just won’t satisfy When you’re hungry as I for love And I can’t be around you when you’re blue Crescent Moon

I don’t wanna be your preacher I don’t wanna be your fool If I could only be what you need me to be I’d be Cool with that I’m never gonna be a diamond I’m more like a rolling stone you see You’re never ever gonna find one wearing me Cause I’m free But when I first met you, you looked indecent By the light that colored your hair And it made me wanna stare into your soul And I fell for you there In the glow What Beautiful Things What Beautiful Things What Beautiful Things We are I’m listening in the shower You’re washing over me I hear ya bitchin bout the mess in the kitchen But the bacon smells so sweet We got caught in an angry wind But we got tangled up in love again And it made me wanna stare into your soul And I fell for you there In the glow What Beautiful Things What Beautiful Things What Beautiful Things We are What Beautiful Things What Beautiful Things What Beautiful Things We are

Prettier Now 03:32
She’s much prettier now That she’s a few years older Nobody told her She’d have to start again She’s got the weight of the world Pressing on her shoulders It’s hard to hold her Cuz she gets heavy, man She’s much prettier now Oh, to me Wise men sit at her feet She’s a woman of reason She’s a friend for all seasons She’s got that healing touch But she cut herself deep Picking up the pieces She doesn’t need this What good is falling in love? She’s much prettier now Oh to me She’s been looking for a crack in the past Trying to find a way back in Do you think we’d be the same souls if we knew the answers back then?

It’s a quarter til 2:00 And I’m beautiful blue Trippin’ on my anger Got a pocket full of danger I’ve been busy bein bad And on a night like this I could sure use a kiss But I wouldn’t say I need that No, I’d never say I need that I’m too busy bein bad Chorus I’m just Busy Bein’ Bad Better leave this girl alone I never thought that kiss Was gonna shake me to the bone I’m just Busy Bein’ Bad I’m all used up From years of losin’ at love I’m a consequent romancer And I ain’t looking for no answers I’m just busy bein bad And you were good last night Got me high as a kite And I almost said I love you But I’m glad I didn’t say that Cause I’m too busy bein bad Chorus Bridge So say goodnight I’m on the edge now And I don’t have time to look in your eyes I’m bein bad Chorus I’m just Busy Bein’ Bad And I’ve wasted too much time Trying to figure out this heart And why you make me feel alive I’m just Busy Bein’ Bad

Ur Sexy 04:26
Ur sexy makes me cry Ur sexy makes me wonder why When I’m feeling less than lyrical Ur sexy is my miracle You know I do not like to lie Ur sexy Why don’t you do what I say And you wouldn’t be in so much trouble Don’t take that sexy away Give it to me now I’m feeling kinda stupid like a moth to the flame But you know there’s only one thing to blame Ur sexy Ur Sexy mama yeah yeah Ur Sexy is sublime And if you wanted to know Ur Sexy’s on my mind I want to set it free Ur Sexy Ur sexy makes me hurt I saw it coming from the very first When I looked at what the Lord displayed Ur sexy was the highest grade I wanna tour the factory Where Ur sexy was made Why don’t you do what I say And you wouldn’t be in so much trouble Don’t take that sexy away Give it to me now I’m feeling kinda stupid like a moth to the flame But you know there’s only one thing to blame Ur sexy Ur Sexy mama yeah yeah Ur Sexy is sublime And if you wanted to know Ur Sexy’s on my mind I want to set it free Ur Sexy

Come Over Baby I might love you if you were here I’m a little dazed By the moon tonight Why don’t you reach down and save me You are a daydream You’re a whisper in my ear Had to laugh today Caught myself missing you And I just left you this morning You’re almost as sweet as me You’re gaining fast You can me my first you see But you can be my Baby come to me You can lay your burdens down You can take out your poetry And read aloud to me Until I beg you for mercy You’re almost as mean as me You’re gaining fast You can me my first you see But you can be my You’re almost as mean as me You’re gaining fast You can me my first you see But you can be my Come Over Baby I might love you if you were here

You say it’s my birthday How did you know? It’s my birthday, Baby Just what did you get me? Mmmmm…ohhh… I guess all in all It’s been a good day Come over later, Baby I have saved you some cake Oooh…yeah… And I know you’ve got a present for me Put a ribbon on it (Put a ribbon on it baby, on it baby) Tie it in a bow (Tie a ribbon on it baby…Tie it on) Put a ribbon on it, Baby And I’ll be waitin for that package To explode… Yeah I guess all these candles Have set me on fire You know what I’m wishin for Is all you desire… Oooh…yeah… And I know you’ve got a present for me Put a ribbon on it (Put a ribbon on it baby, on it baby) Tie it in a bow (Tie a ribbon on it baby…Tie it on) Put a ribbon on it, Baby And I’ll be waitin on that package To explode… Yeah

Saints 03:43
You’re the blind man’s bluff And I’m a victim of love The saints are going crazy Saints are going crazy tonight And when the weak give in Becoming victims of sin The saints are going crazy Saints are going crazy tonight But the Saints don’t know what it really is To be in love and miss a kiss And how you fill my room like a violin When you take me there And back again Going back again My momma raised me right In her guiding light The saints are going crazy Saints are going crazy tonight And Daddy disapproves Especially of you The saints are going crazy Saints are going crazy tonight But the saints don’t know who you are to me They’re inclined to disagree And when all the saints come tumbling down We’re better left on shaky ground This here shaky ground You’re the billy goat’s gruff But you’re the one I love The saints are going crazy Saints are going crazy tonight The saints are going crazy Saints are going crazy tonight The saints are going crazy Saints are going crazy tonight
