Lobo 2002 Greatest Hits Of Lobo Lyrics
1.Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I stopped sending flowers to your apartment
You said you aren't home much anymore
I stopped dropping by without an appointment
Cause I'd hear laughter coming through your door

Sometimes late at night you'll still call me
Just before you close your eyes to sleep
You make me vow to try and stop by sometime
Baby that's a promise I can't keep

I love you too much to ever start liking you
So let's just let the story kinda end
I love you too much to ever start liking you
So don't expect me to be your friend

I don't walk down through the village or other places
That we used to go to all the time
I'm trying to erase you from my memory
'Cause thinking of you jumbles up my mind
You always act so happy when I see you
You smile that way you take my hand and then
Introduce me to your latest lover
That's when I feel the walls start crashing in


2.Yellow River

Lyrics:Jeff Christie
Music:Jeff Christie

So long boy you can take my place,
Got my papers got my pay
So pack my bags and I'll be on my way
To yellow river

Put my guns down the war is won
Fill my glass high the time has come
I'm going back to the place that I love
Yellow river

Yellow river yellow river
Is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow river yellow river
Is in my blood it's the place I love
Got no time for explanation got no time to lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me
Sleeping underneath the moon at yellow river

Cannon fire lingers in my mind
I'm so glad that I'm still alive
And I've been gone for such a long time
From yellow river

I remember the nights were cool
I can still see the water pool
And I remember the girl that I knew
On yellow river


3.How Can I Tell Her

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo
Artist:Lobo

She knows when I'm lonesome, she cries when I'm sad
She's up in the good times, she's down in the bad
Whenever I'm discouraged, she knows just what to do
But girl she doesn't know about you.

I can tell her my troubles, she makes them all seem right
I can make up excuses not to hold her at night
We can talk of tomorrow, I'll tell her things that I want to do
But girl how can I tell her about you.

How can I tell her about you
Girl please tell me what to do
Everything seems right whenever I'm with you
So girl won't you tell me how to tell her about you.

How can I tell her I don't miss her whenever I'm away
How can I say it's you I think of every single night and day
But when is it easy telling someone we're through
Ah girl help me tell her about you.


4.I'd Love You To Want Me

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

When I saw you standing there
I bout fell out my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet.

Now it took time for me to know
what you tried so not to show
Now something in my soul just cries
I see the want in your blue eyes.

Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be.

You told yourself years ago
You'd never let your feeling show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave.


5.Stoney

Lyrics:Lobo/Billy Meshel
Music:Lobo/Billy Meshel

I've known her since we both were kids,
I recall the silly things we did
She would want to ride up on my back
To keep from stepping on a crack
I didn't think of it back then
But even when she did not win
She was happy just to play
Stoney likes to live out everyday

Stoney, happy all the time
Stoney, live is summertime
The joy you find in living everyday
Stoney, how I love your simple ways

The times when no one understood
Seems that Stoney always would
We walk for hours in the sand
She would always try and hold my hand

Now I don't recollect the time
I fell in love with this old friend of mine
Or when I first saw in her eyes
What she tried so not to hide.


6.Me And You And A Dog Named Boo

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I remember to this day
The bright red Georgia clay
And how it stuck to the tires
After the summer rain
Will power made that old car go
A woman's mind told me that so
Oh how I wish
We were back on the road again

Me and you and a dog named boo
Travellin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named boo
How I love being a free man

I can still recall
The wheat fields of St. Paul
And the morning we got caught
Robbing from an old hen
Old McDonald he made us work
But then he paid us for what it was worth
Another tank of gas
And back on the road again

I'll never forget the day
We motored stately into big L.A.
The lights of the city put settlin'
Down in my brain
Though it's only been a month or so
That old car's buggin' us to go
We've gotta get away and get back on
The road again


7.Who'll Stop The Rain

Lyrics:J.C.Fogerty
Music:J.C.Fogerty

As long as I remember
The rain been comin' down.
Clouds of misery pourin'
Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages,
Tryin' to find the sun;
And I wonder, Yes I wonder
Who'll stop the rain.
I went down Virginia,
Seekin' shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable,
I watched the mystery morn.
Five year plans and new deals,
Wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, Still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain.
Heard the singer playin',
How they yelled for more.
The crowd had rushed together,
Tryin' to keep warm.
But still the rain kept pourin',
Fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder, Still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain.


8.It Sure Took A Long Long Time

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I'm sure it might have grown old
Like most young things usually do
and dangling a line to try and find your mind
For that I can't blame you.

Now I'm not questioning your motives
For all the silly things you've done
Now you're coming round putting yourself down
Telling me I always was the one

It sure took a long time to miss me
A long time for you to come around
A long time to find what was wrong
It sure took a long, long time.

The magic that we had together
Seems so much stronger than before
What did I learn to make the love return
O girl I've got to learn some more.


9.Don't Tell Me Goodnight

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

Lying there beside me
With your head resting on my arm
Your body feels so warm
And your hair smells
Like a Sunday morning

I feel you moving closer
And I know what you're gonna say
But girl there's just no way
I'll ever like what you'll be saying

Don't tell me goodnight
It makes me feel so empty inside
And if only I could
I wouldn't sleep at all

Don't tell me goodnight
Just let me drift off slowly away
And dream of you

You reach out and you touch me
Just to let me know you're there
And I can feel your hair
And somehow I don't
Feel like sleeping


10.A Simple Man

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

Where do butterflies go when it rains?
Who goes around & tucks in the trains?
What makes a teddy bear like to sleep?
Why do we all make promises that we can't keep?

Where do puppy dogs go when their sad?
And what do elephants say when their mad?
Who do you tell if you don't have a friend?
Why do we open our mouths and stick our foot in?

These are the things that bother me,
Not a lot of things across some sea,
I don't even have a master plan,
I guess that I am just a simple man.

Where do robins sleep on the road?
And how can a little ant carry that load?
Why write words that we have to erase?
Why does everyone have more than one face?


11.There Ain't No Way

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

The dirty rain is falling
I hear the wind a calling me away
The motel sign is flashing
And in my mind I'm crashing what to say.
What to say

The words they started flowing
And passions started growing like years ago
The wine made my mind crazy
But now I'm not so hazy I gotta go
I Gotta Go

The love we made today
It was just a foolish way
To try to bring back yesterday there ain't no way.

The dirty rain is falling
And in my mind it's calling me away
I'm staring at the ceiling
I can't let that feeling make me stay.
I Just Can't Stay


12.It Doesn't Matter Anymore

Lyrics:Paul Anka
Music:Paul Anka

There you go and baby here am I
You left me here so I could sit and cry
Golly gee what have you done to me
I guess it doesn't matter anymore

Do you remember baby last September
When I held you tight each and every night
Whoops a daisy how you drove me crazy
I guess it doesn't matter any more

There's no use in me crying
I've done everything and I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights
And wasted all my days
Over you

You go your way baby
And I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new
And baby we'll say we're through
And you won't matter any more


13.Let It Be Me

Lyrics:Mann Curtis
Music:Gilbert Becaud

I bless the day I found you,
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one,
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me
Each time we meet love,
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
what would life be
So never leave me lonely,
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
Each time we meet love,
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
what would life be


14.Different Drum

Lyrics:Michael Nesmith
Music:Michael Nesmith

You and I
Travel to the beat of a different drum
Can't you tell
By the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me

You cry and moan
And say it'll work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest
For the trees

Now don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a girl
Who wants to love
Only me

And I'm not saying that you ain't pretty
All's I saying's that I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins
In on me

So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me


15.Faithful

Lyrics:Billy Aerts
Music:Billy Aerts

I never wanted anyone before
Half as much as I want you
I finally found what I've been searching for
My whole life through

You're the answer to the prayers I've prayed
More than I've ever dreamed of
So I give to you my heart today
And pledge my eternal love

I'll be faithful, faithful till the end
I'm so thankful that heaven
Chose to send you
And this love will last forever
Forever I'll be true
And be faithful to you

You're my one and only one you see
There's just no one to compare
I'll hold and keep you close to me
Way beyond our golden years

Our two hearts will always beat as one
One thing you can know for sure
I promise that I'll never let you down
Your trust in me's secure


16.Rock And Roll Days

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I've seen a lot of things change in many ways
Since I was a boy back in the rock and roll days
Back when a bust was a six-pack of cold beer.
Marciano, he was champ the band all played through one amp
And the biggest thing was getting rubber in second gear

I love the rock and roll days
And I love all the good old ways
We used to do things in our crowd
I love the rock and roll days
And I love all the good old ways
We used to do the same things that we do now.

The only bikes back there were Schwinns
The only pigs were the bad wolf's friend
And going to the outdoor movie was something neat
Messing around then was not big
That's the one thing I did not dig
I was lucky to get as far as the back seat.
