    [X]

    letra de Strange

    How many wrinkles in a pickle
    How many hairs in a head
    How many waves in the ocean
    How many crumbs in bed
    But last but not least, but baby most of all
    Why do I mmmumble everytime you call

    Chorus

    Because you're strange to me baby
    Oh, you're good to me mama
    Well, I admit you are strange
    But baby please don't change
    I know I belong with you

    How many bubbles in soap
    How many chewings in gum
    How many rolls in a wheel
    Where did eyeballs come from
    But last but not least
    But baby most of all
    Why do I mmmumble everytime you call

    Chorus

    How many blanks in a blanket
    How many cuts in a knife
    How strong is a bedbug
    And how deep is his bite
    But last but not least
    But baby most of all
    Why do I mmmumble everytime you call

    Chorus

    Stange you got a big double head and one bloodshot eye
    Strange you got five double chins...???
    Strange your knees look like the knees on a billy goat
    Strange you got two left legs ...???
    Strange there's something wrong with you I don't know what it is
    Strange I'm gonna leave you alone, gonna leave you like this

    letra de Hidden Charms

    Her lips are sweet
    Her legs are big
    Her looks can make you
    Dance the jig
    Her touch is so soft
    Her heart is so warm
    What knocks me out
    Is your hidden charms
    Her voice is so soft
    Her love is so true
    I think about her
    That's all I do
    She's weak and wanton
    In my arms
    What moves me darling
    Is your hidden charms

    When I hold you
    In my arms
    Brings out all of your
    Hidden Charms

    Her kiss is so pure
    As the morning dew
    A real gone love
    Is exciting too
    Her eyes that talk
    They say "c'mon"
    What kills me baby
    Is your hidden charms

    When I hold you
    In my arms
    Brings out all of your
    Hidden Charms

  3. Remove This DoubtVer letra 3:52

    [X]

    letra de Remove This Doubt

    It's hurting me
    It's hurting me
    This doubt is hurting me
    So remove this doubt
    From my heart little girl
    And let me live my life
    Knowing you care

    Remove this doubt
    From my mind little girl
    And let me breathe again
    Feeling my love is shared

    Each time we meet
    You make me feel so incomplete
    There's no joy in the air
    I just don't think you care

    Close the door
    On doubt forever
    And may it nevermore
    Make me unsure

    Turn the key
    And lock away this doubt in me
    Keep it in the dark
    Not in my heart

    Be more tender
    Completely surrender
    Your love to me
    Is sweet and not discrete

    Remove this doubt
    From my heart little girl
    And let me live my life
    Knowing you care
    Remove this doubt
    From my mind little girl
    And let me breathe again
    Knowing my love is shared

    Each time we meet
    You make me feel so incomplete
    There's no joy in the air
    I just don't think you care

    Remove this doubt from my heart (6x)

  4. I Threw It All AwayVer letra 3:23

    [X]

    letra de I Threw It All Away

    I once held her
    In my arms
    She said she would always stay
    But I was cruel
    And I treated her like a fool
    I threw it all away

    Once I had mountains
    In the palm of my hand
    And rivers to drink through everyday
    But I must have been mad
    I never knew what I had
    Until I threw it all away

    Love is all there is
    That makes the world go round
    Love as only love
    Can't be denied

    Not matter what you think about it
    Just won't be able to do without it
    Take a tip from one who's tried

    So when you find someone
    Who gives you all of her love
    Take it to your heart don't
    Let is stray
    Cause one thing for certain
    You will surely be hurting
    If you throw it all away
    If you throw it all away

  9. Must You Throw Dirt In My FaceVer letra 3:49

    [X]

    letra de Must You Throw Dirt In My Face

    What is it that brings you to this part of town
    Curiosity, conscience or fate
    I know it's not love
    Cause I once gave you love
    And all you showed me was the gate

    I got a feeling you've come back
    To just rub it in
    And to really put me in my place

    You've already but big old tears in my eyes
    Must you throw dirt in my face
    Must you keep telling me that you've got a new love
    I don't need you to remind me
    Must you keep telling me how I look so lonely
    And my better days are behind me

    Must you keep showing me pictures of him
    Boasting of his warm embrace
    You've already put big old tears in my eyes
    Must you throw dirt in my face

    You've already left me
    And broken my heart
    Told me how much you don't want me
    Believe me I'm happier when we're apart
    Why must you come back now to haunt me

    Must you keep showing me pictures of him
    Boasting of his warm embrace
    You've already put big old tears in my eyes
    Must you throw dirt in my face
    You've already put big old tears in my eyes
    Must you throw dirt in my face
    Must you throw dirt in my face

    letra de Pouring Water On A Drowning Man

    You push me when I'm falling
    And then you put me down
    I guess I missed my calling
    I should have been a clown

    How much more
    How much more can I stand
    You're pouring water
    On a drowning man

    You put me on the right track
    And then you put me down
    You stab me in the back
    Everytime I turn around

    Criticize my lovin'
    When I'm doing the very best I can
    You're pouring water
    On a drowning man
    You're pouring water
    On a drowning man
    You treat me like
    The fool that I am
    You bet that I like everything you do
    Put salt in my wounds
    It's sad but it's true

    You warm me with your kisses
    Then you leave me in the cold
    How can I know your wishes
    When I've never been told
    Won't you please forgive me
    Just try and understand
    You're pouring water
    On a drowning man

    You're pouring water
    On a drowning man
    You treat me like
    The fool that I am
    You bet that I like everything you do
    Put salt in my wounds
    It's sad but it's true

    You warm me with your kisses
    Then you leave me in the cold
    How can I know your wishes
    When I've never been told
    Won't you please forgive me
    Just try and understand
    You're pouring water
    On a poor drowning man

    I got tears in my eyes
    Oh, I'm a drowning man
    I got tears in my eyes
    You're pouring water
    On a drowing man
    You're pouring water
    On a poor drowning man

  11. The Very Thought Of YouVer letra 3:42

    [X]

    letra de The Very Thought Of You

    The very thought of you
    And i forget to do
    The little ordinary things
    That everyone ought to do

    I'm living in a kind of daydream
    I'm happy as a king
    And foolish though it may seem to me
    That's everything

    The mere idea of you
    The longing year for you
    You'll never know how slow the moments go
    Till i'm near to you

    I see your face in every flower
    Your eye in stars above
    It's just the thought of you
    The very thought of you
    My love

    The mere idea of you
    The longing year for you
    You'll never know how slow the moments go
    Till i'm near to you

    I see your face in every flower
    Your eye in stars above
    It's just the thought of you
    The very thought of you
    My love

    [X]

    letra de Payday

    Let's go out on the town tonight
    My pockets are heavy with loot
    And get drunk and blasted
    (And loud in your dress of blue)

    I've been living from hand to mouth
    It must be three or four weeks
    And I can tell you one thing Jack
    You listen when your stomach speaks

    I feel good just like I knew that I would
    And all on account of that wine that I bought today
    I'm smiling so sweet
    At every little girl that I meet
    Some fools will try to tell you it's a sin to feel this way

    It feels so funny having all of this money
    I think I feel like dancing the night away
    I think I feel like dancing the night away

    I got me this long legged girl
    To help me to spend my dough
    Her heart as big as your mama's stove
    And her body like Brigitte Bardot

    I'm all ready for some Rock and Roll
    With the guitar turned up loud
    And the fancy footwork
    And the (drunk) down, druged up crowd

    I feel good just like I knew that I would
    All on account of that wine that I bought today
    I'm smiling so sweet
    At every little girl that I meet
    Some fools will try to tell you it's a sin to feel this way

    It feels so funny having all of this money
    I think I feel like dancing the night away
    I think I feel like dancing the night away

    [X]

    letra de Please Stay

    If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you
    Not to go but to stay in my arms
    Would you walk out the door
    Like you did once before

    This time be different
    Please stay don't go

    If I call out your name like a prayer
    Would you leave me alone with my tears
    Knowing I need you so
    Would you still turn and go
    This time be different in some way
    Don't go please stay

    You took me away from the rest of the world
    When you taught me to love you like this
    Now I hang my head when I think how you lied
    But I still can be saved by your kiss

    I loved you before I even knew your name
    I wanted to give you my heart
    But when you came back after leaving me one time
    Oh I knew, yes I knew that the heartaches would start

    If I told you my life was a song
    That was written for you, you alone
    Would you hurt all my pride
    Oh, till I cry this time be different
    Please stay
    Oh, this time be different in some way
    Don't go please stay

    letra de Running Out Of Fools

    Sure you haven't got the wrong number
    Sure it's me you want to talk to tonight
    Everyone in town's got your number
    Everyone in town's got you pegged just right

    Is that why you got in touch with me
    I guess you must be running out of fools

    Even when you left me there crying
    Your goodbye was even colder than ice
    You didn't care that you left me there crying
    Now you wanna break my heart twice

    Is that why you got in touch with me
    I guess you must be running out of fools

    I guess you got back to my name in your little black book
    Hey guess what I bet you forgot how I even look
    So go ahead with all your sweet talking
    Go ahead for all the good it will do
    Have yourself a dime's worth of talking
    Then I'm gonna hang right up on you

    Cause this time you're not getting through to me
    I guess you must be running out of fools

    Even fools like me
    Even fools like me
    I guess you're running out of fools
    Even fools like me
