2.Be for Real


Are you back in my life to stay
Or is it just for today
oh that you need me
If its a thrill you're lookin for
well honey I am flexible
oh yeah

Just....
Be for real
wont you baby
Be for real
wont you baby
you see I, I dont want, to be hurt by love again

You can understand baby, can't you?

Now you see I am not naive
but I would like to believe
oh what you tell me
So don't give me the world today
and then tomorrow take it away
don't do that to me darling

No....
Be for real
wont you baby
Be for real
wont you baby
You see I, I dont want, to be hurt by love again

Be for real
wont you baby
Be for real
wont you baby
You see I, I dont want, to be hurt by love again

Because I, dont want, to be hurt by love again


3.Creep

Lyricist:Dallas Austin, Bernard Edwards, Nile Gregory Rodgers

The 22nd of loneliness
And we've been through so many thangs
I love my girl with all honesty
But I know she's cheatin' on me

I look her in the eyes but all she tells me
Are lies that keep me near, I'll never leave her
Down though I might mess around
It's only 'cause I need some affection

So I creep, yeah, just keep it on the down low
Said, nobody is supposed to know
So I creep, yeah, 'cause she doesn't know
What I do and no attention goes to show

The 23rd of loneliness
And we don't talk like we used to do
Now it seems pretty strange but I'm not buggin'
'Cause I still feel the same yeah, yeah

I'll keep giving loving till the day
She pushes me away, never go astray
If she knew the things I did, she couldn't handle it
So I choose to keep her protected

So I creep, yeah, just keep it on the down low
Said, nobody is supposed to know
So I creep, yeah, 'cause she doesn't know
What I do and no attention goes to show

I creep around because I need attention
Don't mess around with my affection
I creep around because I need attention
Don't mess around

Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I, baby
Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I, yeah
Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I, baby
Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I, yeah


4.If I Only Had A Heart


(Arlen/Harberg)

When a man's an empty kettle
He should be on his mettle
and yet I'm torn apart
Just because I'm presumin' that I could be kind of human
If I only had a heart
I'd be tender, I'd be gentle
and awful sentimental regarding love and art
I'd be friends with the arrows
and the boy who shoots the sparrows
If I only had a heart
Picture me a balcony
Above a voice sings low
'Wherefore art thou Romeo?'
I hear a beat, how sweet

Just to register emotion, jealousy, devotion
and really feel the part
I could stay young and chipper
and I'd lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart
A brain, a home, the nerve


5.Rebirth of the Cool

Lyricist:Greg Dulli

If I stepped it off
Walked outside your trance
Crawled inside your mind
And got my hands into your pants

Wouldn't that beat all
Wouldn't that be great
And all the things you do to me
We could exaggerate

Now everybody knows
Or everybody wants to know
The hows, the whens, the whys
Of how I said goodbye

Don't forget the alcohol
Ooh baby ooh baby
Don't forget the alcohol
Ooh baby ooh baby
Don't forget the alcohol

If I stepped it off
Walked outside your trance
Crawled inside your mind
And got my hand into your pants

Don't forget the alcohol
Ooh baby ooh baby
Don't forget the alcohol


6.True Love Travels on a Gravel Road

Lyricist:Dallas Frazier, A. L. Owens

How many girls
Would choose a cotton-dress world
When they could have satins and lace?
To stand by her man
Through good times and bad
And still keep a smile on her face?
How many hearts would feel the winter's wind blow
And still not turn cold?

True love travels on a gravel road
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
On smooth streets paved with gold
But true love travels on a gravel road

Down through the years
We've had hard times and tears
But it only helps our love grow
And we'll stay together
No matter how strong the wind blows
Not once have I seen your blue eyes fill with envy
And stray from the one that you hold

True love travels on a gravel road
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
On smooth streets paved with gold
But true love travels on a gravel road


7.Come See About Me

Lyricist:Lamont Herbert Dozier, Brian Holland, Eddie Holland

I've been cryin'
(For you)
'Cause I'm lonely
Smiles have all turned to tears
Tears won't wash away the fear

That you're never ever gonna return
To ease that fire that within me burns
It keeps me cryin' baby for you
Keeps me sighing baby for you
(For you)
Won't you hurry
Come one
And see about me
(Come see about me)
See about your baby
(Come see about me)

I've given up my French dress
(For you)
Your friends are talkin
You have too
No more piece of my pie
Until you come back and be mine

No matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you anyways
It keeps me cryin'
(Baby, for you)
I'm gonna keep sighin'
(Baby, for you)
Won't you hurry
Come one
And see about me
(Come see about me)
(Come see about me)
See about your baby

Sometimes up
Sometimes down
My life's so unsanctified with you not around
From arms you maybe out of reach
But my love says you're here to keep
It keeps me cryin'
(Baby, for you)
I'm gonna keep sighin'
(Baby, for you)
Won't you hurry
Come one
And see about me
(Come see about me)
See about your baby
(Come see about me)
See about your baby
Hurry hurry
Hurry hurry


8.Dark End of the Street

Lyricist:Chips Moman, Dan Penn

At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me

I know time is gonna take its toll
We have to pay for what we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
But our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street

They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us, oh, some day
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me

And when the daylight hour rolls around
If by chance we should walk downtown
If we should meet, just walk on by
Oh darling, please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street
You and me

They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us, oh, some day
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me


9.Beware

Lyricist:Al Green

The way people smile and say
Using me in every way, it's okay
Times are changing, life is upside down
No reason to cry now, oh, no reason to cry now

Beware of who you listen to
Beware of what you believe
Ain't nothing I can do to you
To make you love me

Friends are the reason for so many breakups and breakdowns
'Round town, so many people think that life is so much fun
We've only just begun
Begun to have some fun

Beware of who you listen to
Beware of what you believe
Ain't nothing I can do to you
To make you love me

Beware of who you listen to
Beware of what you believe
Ain't nothing I can do to you
To make you love me, to make you love me


10.Cito Soleil

Lyricist:Greg Dulli

Jean Content
He wake up everyday
In a government yard
Deep down inside Citi Soleil

Roll some bones and catch a fire
Evil minds, they will conspire
The moon to lose its light
The stars sink into night

Across the town a young girl plays guitar
'Do you remember me?'
She sings to a lover
She worships from afar

Roll some bones and catch a fire
Evil minds, they will expire
The moon to shine a light
Upon us all tonight

Ooh, child, I'll meet you, child
On the sunny side, it's alright, it's alright
No lies and no cryin'
It's alright, alright, alright

Ooh, child, I'll meet you, child
On the sunny side, it's alright, it's alright
No lies and no cryin'
It's alright, alright, alright

'How you like me now?'
My friend, he say
'How you like the madness of Citi Soleil?'

Roll the bones and catch a fire
Join the triumph of the choir
Citi Soleil, Citi Soleil
I love to say Citi Soleil

Ooh, child, I'll meet you, child
On the sunny side, it's alright, it's alright
No lies and no cryin'
It's alright, alright, alright

Ooh, child, I'll meet you, child
On the sunny side, it's alright, it's alright
No lies and no cryin'
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Ooh, child, I'll meet you, child
On the sunny side, it's alright, it's alright
No lies and no cryin'
It's alright, alright, alright

Ooh, child, I'll meet you, child
On the sunny side, it's alright, it's alright
No lies and no cryin'
It's alright, alright, alright

Ooh, child, I'll meet you, child
On the sunny side, it's alright, it's alright
No lies and no cryin'
It's alright, alright, alright


11.Crime Scene, Pt. 1

Lyricist:Greg Dulli

Tonight, tonight I say goodbye
To everyone who loves me
Stick it to my enemies tonight
Then I disappear

Bathe my path in shining light
Set the dials to thrill me
Every secret has its price
This one's set to kill

Too loose, too tight, too dark, too bright
A lie, the truth, which one should I use?
If the lie succeeds then you'll know what I mean
When I tell you I have secrets to attend

Do you think I'm beautiful?
Or do you think I'm evil?
Will you take me for a ride?
The one that never ends

Too loose, too tight, too dark, too bright
A lie, the truth, which one shall I use?
If the lie succeeds then you'll know what I mean
When I tell you I have secrets to attend

Tonight, tonight I say goodbye
To everything that thrills me
As I throw the chains I forged in life
To shatter on the floor

As I dream, all the evidence
Is piling up against me
As I breathe, all the essence rare
Is fallin' off the vine

And if you knew just how smooth
I could stop it on the dime
You could meet me at the
Scene of the crime


12.Miles Iz Ded

Lyricist:Greg Dulli

If i stepped it off
Walked outside your trance
Crawled inside your mind
And got my hands into your pants

Wouldn't that beat all
And wouldn't that be great
Then all the things you do to me
We could exaggerate

Now everybody knows
Or everybody wants to know
The hows, the whens and whys
Of how I said goodbye

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Don't forget the alcohol
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Don't forget the alcohol
Ooh baby, ooh baby

Don't forget the alcohol
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Don't forget the alcohol
Ooh baby, ooh baby

Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh

If I stepped it off
Walked outside your trance
Crawled inside your mind
And got my hands into your pants

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Don't forget the alcohol
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Don't forget the alcohol
Ooh baby, ooh baby

Don't forget the alcohol
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Don't forget the alcohol
Ooh baby, ooh baby

Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh baby, ooh baby


13.Congregation

Lyricist:Greg Dulli, Rick Mccollum

Yea
I walk around with this all over me
I cannot wash it clean
You've got the ball
You've got the ball I'm takin' it from you

And today
It's in the blood
I left it in the blood you see
So put the words together
I'll be with you forever

Get up, we'll rise, they'll pay, get up
We'll rise and wait until tomorrow night
I can't wait recall yet if I'm black
Or if I'm white or wrong, oh
Or if I'm white or wrong

I am your creator
Come with me my congregation
Get up, I'll smack your back down
Get up, we'll rise, they'll pay

Get up, I'll smack your back down
You will become my diamond
I'm yours and you are mine

Get up, we'll rise
And wait until tomorrow night
I can't wait recall yet if I'm black
Or if I'm white or wrong
Or if I'm white or wrong

Get up, we'll rise, they'll pay
Get up, we'll rise, they'll pay
Get up, we'll rise


14.Now We Can Begin

Mother's very proud of YOU son
Come & sit upon her knee
I've got some new denial
I want to change my plea
I've seen through alcohol
Raise up the sheets again
Told YOU that YOU should fear me
I love to pretend
If i was to correct YOU every time YOU was wrong
I'd be talking all the time
& laughing at YOU twice as long
I've seen through alcohol
I've seen the auctioneer
Raise up the sheets again
Right now i need YOU near
Through him with him in
Now we can begin
