Lari White Wishes Lyrics
1.That's My Baby

(lari white/chuck cannon)

See that boy walking down the street
Thinks he's tough but he smiles so sweet
Snakeskin boots and a baseball cap
Bet you'd like to meet a boy like that

He's a little crazy he's a little loud
He loves to do what ain't allowed
And he might talk too slow and drive too fast
But he'd do any little thing i ask cause

That's my baby
That's my baby
That's my diamond in the rough
But i can make him shine with my sweet love
That's my baby

He's a rebel wild and free
My mama says he ain't right for me
Daddy prays he's just a phase i'm going through
But one of these days their gonna love him too 'cause

That's my baby
That's my baby
That's my diamond in the rough
But i can make him shine with my sweet love
That's my baby

He ain't no angel he ain't no saint
But i don't worry 'bout what he ain't
'cause what he is, is something fine
And he lets me know that he's mine all mine

That's my baby
That's my baby
That's my diamond in the rough
But i can make him shine with my sweet love
That's my baby


2.Somebody's Fool

(lari white/tom shapiro/chris waters)

I've got a closet full of sensible shoes
I keep my head never lose my cool
I'm well known for my practical ways
But ooh one of these days

I wanna be somebody's fool
I wanna be somebody's fool
Laughing in the rain
Dancing in the dark
Crazy in love up to my heart
I wanna be somebody's fool

Over the edge head over heels
Out of control how does that feel
Just for once in my logical life
Ooh i gotta know what it's like

I wanna be somebody's fool
I wanna be somebody's fool
Laughing in the rain
Dancing in the dark
Crazy in love up to my heart
I wanna be somebody's fool

Laughing in the rain
Dancing in the dark
Crazy in love up to my heart
I wanna be somebody's fool
I wanna be somebody's fool


3.Wishes

(lari white/chuck cannon)

If wishes were horses
I'd ride a fast one
If wishes were wings
I'd fly wild and free
If wishes were trains
I'd be on the last one
If wishes came true
You'd be loving me

If wishes were blue skies
I'd never get rained on
I'd walk in the sun
Whenever i please
If wises were dreams
I'd dream the same one
Over and over
Of you loving me

I whisper your name
On each star i see falling
That old wishing well
Gets each penny i find
And every year i blow out every candle
And close my eyes
And wish you were mine
Oh if wishes came true
Then you would be mine


4.Now I Know

(chick rains/cindy greene/don cook)

I always wondered how i'd live without you
If you ever said goodbye
Would i just live in dreams about you
With tears in my eyes
Would i fall to pieces when you go
I always wondered how i'd live without you
Now i know

I'm doing alright
I'm strong enough to make it on my own
I'm not afarid of the night
I'm learning how to face it alone
I've been good at holding on
Now i'm learning to let go
I always wondered how i'd live without you
Now i know

I always wondered what i'd do without you
I found out today
I got up and made a cup of coffee
And time just slipped away
I dressed up and went out on the town
To places you'd never go
I always wondered what i'd do without you
Now i know

I'm doing alright
I'm strong enough to make it on my own
I'm not afarid of the night
I'm learning how to face it alone
I've been good at holding on
Now i'm learning to let go
I always wondered how i'd live without you
Now i know

I dress up and go out on the town
To places you'd never go
I always wondered what i'd do without you
Now i know

I'm doing alright
I'm strong enough to make it on my own
I'm not afarid of the night
I'm learning how to face it alone
I've been good at holding on
Now i'm learning to let go
I always wondered how i'd live without you
Now i know


5.If I'm Not Already Crazy

(verlon thompson/suzi ragsdale)

I'm walkin' down this empty street
I don't know where i am or where i'm going
I keep turnin' corners
To keep the pain that follows me confused
I'm talkin' to myself so i don't
Hear his voice on every wind that's blowing
And if i'm not already crazy
My mind is all that i have left to lose

Gone without a warning
The thing i loved the most
What he couldn't tell me heaven only knows
This hour of the morning as i stumble on
I can almost hear my spirit breaking with the dawn

I'm walkin' down this empty street
I don't know where i am or where i'm going
I keep turnin' corners
To keep the pain that follows me confused
I'm talkin' to myself so i don't
Hear his voice on every wind that's blowing
And if i'm not already crazy
My mind is all that i have left to lose

Out here in the darkness
The shadows come to life
How long can i balance on the sharp edge of the night

I'm walkin' down this empty street
I don't know where i am or where i'm going
I keep turnin' corners
To keep the pain that follows me confused
I'm talkin' to myself so i don't
Hear his voice on every wind that's blowing
And if i'm not already crazy
My mind is all that i have left to lose
If i'm not already crazy
My mind is all that i have left to lose


6.That's How You Know(When You're In Love)

(lari white/chuck cannon)

You can take a stranger home
Never spend a night alone
But you have to face the morning feeling empty inside
'cause you can't pretend it's real
When what you really want to feel
Is the magic of the moment when love can't be denied

When your heart makes a sound like rolling thunder
And your arms are wrapped around an angel from above
And when the earth begins to shake
'cause it can feel the love you make
Oh oh oh that's how you know
When you're in love

I had all but given up
On ever finding love
Until i caught a glimpse of heaven when i looked into your eyes
And your fingers touched my skin
Like a stormy summer wind
Now i'm falling like the rain oh what a sweet surprise

When your heart makes a sound like rolling thunder
And your arms are wrapped around an angel from above
And when the earth begins to shake
'cause it can feel the love you make
Oh oh oh that's how you know
When you're in love

All of god's creation starts to sing in harmony
All i know you can hear it baby i know you believe

When your heart makes a sound like rolling thunder
And your arms are wrapped around an angel from above
And when the earth begins to shake
'cause it can feel the love you make
Oh oh oh that's how you know
When you're in love


7.When It Rains

(lari white)

He'd had some time
He'd been doing fine
He couldn't remember when she'd last crossed his mind
But a storm cloud comes stealin'
With that old mournful feelin'
Just like the black night she left him behind

When it rains
When it rains
It pours down memories and thunders her name
And he drowns in the flood of the same old pain
When it rains
When it rains

He starts to cry
He gets to wondering why
And he's sure he can't take one more long lonely night
But his mind keeps on achin'
And his heart keeps on breakin'
And he stands shakin' his fist at the sky

When it rains
When it rains
It pours down memories and thunders her name
And he drowns in the flood of the same old pain
When it rains
When it rains
When it rains
It pours down memories and thunders her name
And he drowns in the flood of the same old pain
When it rains
When it rains


8.Go On

(lari white/tom shapiro/chris waters)

You talk to me with one eye on the door
You lie beside me with one foot on the floor
You're always going
You're never gone
So long shouldn't take so long

Go on go on go on go on go
Why don't you go on go on go on go on go

I know it's just a matter of time
So if it's over baby let's just call it a night
I can take it
If you leave
But this waitin' 'round is killing me

Go on go on go on go on go
Why don't you go on go on go on go on go

I've just been spinning my wheels
Trying not to drive you away
Your heart is already gone
So what's the use in making you stay

Go on go on go on go on go
Why don't you go on go on go on go on go
Go on go on go on go on go
Why don't you go on go on go on go on go


9.Its Love

(lari white/chuck cannon)

There's a full moon slippin' up over the hill
There's a heart gettin' ready to fall
There's an old song playing on the radio
And there's a crazy feeling got a way of stealing
Over an old fool at all . . .

It's love
It's love
It's love
And i don't mean maybe
It's the real thing baby
It's love

I feel your sweet kiss catching me by surprise
I hear the honey dripping off of your tongue
I see that got to have you baby look in your eyes
And there's no doubt about it
I can't live without it
And of the night is young

It's love
It's love
It's love
And i don't mean maybe
It's the real thing baby
It's love

Ooh and its a wonderful thing
Ooh loving under the moon
Makes me want to sing

And there's no doubt about it
I can't live without it
And oh the night is young

It's love
It's love
It's love
And i don't mean maybe
It's the real thing baby
It's love


10.If You Only Knew

(lari white/chuck cannon)

If you only knew the way i love you
Don't i wonder what you'd do
Would you look at me and say you love me too
If you only knew

If you only knew i'm dreaming of you
Every night the whole night through
Would you make my wildest dream of you come true
If you only knew

I pretend i'm just a friend
But now and then i wonder what you'd do
Would you love me too
If you only knew

I pretend i'm just a friend
Oh but now and then i wonder what you'd do
Would you love me too
If you only knew

Wonder what you'd do
Would you love me to
If you only knew
