Lobo Best Of Lobo-Usa Lyrics
1.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.


2.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


3.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 lets 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.


4.Where Were You When I Was Falling In Love

Written:Sam Lorber/Jeff Silbar/Steve Jobe

When your eyes met mine
I knew that I had better play it cool
I'm doing my best trying to resist
Cause I ain't no fool

Where in the world did you come from baby
You waited just a little too long
To look my way
Now it's a little to late

Where were you
When I was falling in love
I was looking for you baby
Where were you
When I was falling in love
Looking for you baby
If I'd ever looked in those eyes before
We'd be together tonight I'm sure
Where were you
When I was falling in love
Where were you
Lost and looking for love

If I'd have met you sooner
I'd be talking to ya and playing the game
But the best thing for me to do
Is get up and leave without knowing your name
It might have been something special baby
Something only people in love could understand
Like this ring on my hand


5.Holding On For Dear Love

Written:Larry Henley/Steve Pippin/Johnny Slate

It's been the lovers question
Ever since time began
How to keep good romance
From slipping through your hands

It ain't no trick to keep it
To hold on to what you got
The secret to the secret
Is to love and never stop

Got to keep holding on holding on
Holding on for dear love
You better try holding on holding on
Holding on for dear love
You've got to keep holding on holding on
Holding on for dear love
Holding on holding on

Don't you sometimes wonder
How a good love can go bad
Lovers crumble under
When they don't love the love they have

To break apart is tragic
And that is why I say
Cos when you lose that magic
You lose everything


6.You Are All I'll Ever Need

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

This morning when you kissed me
And got up out of bed
I moved into the very spot
Where you had laid your head
I felt the warmth of your love move into me
And I knew you are all I'll ever need

As I laid there and I watch you
Getting ready for your day
The sunlight through the window
Put a glow upon your face
I felt your love spread out
All inside of me
And I knew you're all I'll ever need

You are all I'll ever need
Bigger than the air I breathe
You're everything that means
A thing to me
You are all I'll ever need
That's what you are to me
You are love and you are life
You are all I'll ever need

Now I hear you making coffee
And you call out acting sad
You say if I don't get up now
That you might just get mad
But I hide my face underneath the sheets
And pretend to be asleep

Now you're laughing as you jump on me
To tell me goodbye
Your hair smells just like sunshine
There's that something in your eye
And I love the words I know
You'll say to me
You're all I ever need


7.A Day In The Life Of A Love

Written:Johnny Slate/Larry Henley/Jim Hurt

Hey baby, you're a beautiful lady
But I guess that you know it
You sure turn my head around
And I'm sure that I show it

If you'll take the chance on romance
When this dance is over
Maybe we could slide away
To a quieter place

This could be a day in the life of a love
That could last forever
How could we ever know until we try
This could be a day in the life of a love
That could last forever
We'll surly make it last till morning light

What cha saw baby
Does it so to crazy
Well I just had to say it
When my heart speaks to me
I have to obey it

Why don't you say yes
And we'll make the best
Of the rest of the night

But then again
It might never end


8.I Don't Wanna Make Love Anymore

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

Sometimes when I hold you
You feel so far away
Though you try not to show it
To me it's as clear as day
Our bodies still move together
But something is just not there
And that's not fair
It's not fair

What we had was special
All the loving that we shared
And i don't want to end it
It took us to long to get here
Maybe time apart will bring back
The fire that we can't find
But till that time

I don't wanna make love to you
If you're not into it
Just the act of doing it
Is not enough anymore
I don't wanna make love to you
If we're not feeling it
If we're not meaning it
I don't wanna make love anymore

At times it feels so lonely
Being by myself
But I just can't imagine
Holding on to someone else
Cos after loving you girl
Something less would never do
I'll wait for you
But...


9.Gus, The Dancing Dog

Lyrics:Roger E.Lavoie
Music:Roger E.Lavoie

You go down to the river
To the Natches Kitty Kaw sign
There's a pine wood shack
Sittin' way in the back
Near the Hitchy Coochy
Railway line

There on a porch sits
Grandma Ditty and her old
Hound dog named Gus
Grandma picks on a banjo
And Gus he kicks up a fuss

That dog can dance
He can dance
Ah he can dance
He can dance your troubles away
Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh

Now some say it's a miracle
But some say it's a case
Of the fleas
Some say it's because
He was raised on Granny's
Old home brew recipe

But he can two paw
Four paw
Tail wagging boogie
He can Rock an Roll it too
He can slip and slide
He can groove and glide
He's gonna pay your bills
And cure your ills
He can dance


10.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.
