I was playing at a bar
My boys
were backing me
All a'sudden this guy
Comes strolling through the crowd
Looks at me, says,
"Hey baby,
"Let's
get loud"
My halo wasn't showing
My horns weren't out that night
Make up was pretty low key
I was feeling
alright
Somethin' about the music
I winked and said "Y'see..."
-chorus-
You need to love me like this
You need to give me your heart
You need to never look back
You need to take my last name
Be ready for the
real thing
You'd better love me like this
-end chorus-
Whether I'm raisin' hell
Or bringing down heaven
Right or wrong
You'd better be on my side
And hang on for the ride
You can call it irriational
But I prefer
unconditional
Treat me like you'd treat yourself
Better than legend
Better than myth
We can be a masterpiece
A modern day love story
To go down in history
Romeo and Juliet who?
They're gonna be sayin'
They're gonna
be sayin'
Me an' you
-repeat chorus-
If you want to wing it
I'll say you've got to bring it
Thick
and thin, through and through
Don't bite off more than you can chew
I'll always be a brunette
Coz blondes
don't have more fun
I'll never be a lady
So don't expect one
I live by my own standards
And day after day
You'll need to feel the same way
-repeat chorus-
They say 'the girl can sing'
An' I spread my wings
They say 'the boy can talk'
Take me 'round the block
They say 'she's right on the money'
Come and dance with
me, honey
They say 'he knows what he's about'
But have you figured it out
-last chorus-
You need to love
me like that
You need to give me your heart
You need to never look back
You need to take my last name
Be ready
for the real thing
You'd better love me like that
-end chorus-
-repeat last verse & last chorus to fade-
You Know Me

Lay-offs
always proved
that sooner or later
the time would come
and we would have to move
E.I. just wasnt enough
to
get by on
when the factory closed
we called that bluff
The house was brick,
The barn was wood
My room
was washed white
The stalls were large
and the pond was deep
Our land stretched out of sight
Just gone
into town
Driving on my own
Typical day in August
School would soon be back in,
Couldn't wait to begin
the
starting of the fall
Stetson didn't conceal your face
I lost the time and place
and I stood there on the walk
You saw me standing there
and we started to talk
You know me
I've never met you
You know me
but
how, I just dont know
You know me
and I sure have fallen fast
I cooked supper
Mom talked with him on the
front porch
How we'd come to here
And Dad's new job
We rode the horses after supper
Through the fields
I
couldn't believe how we hit it off
Like I'd known him all my life
You know me
I've never met you
You know
me
but how, I just dont know
You know me
and I sure have fallen fast
yeah, yeah, yeah,
You know me
I've
never met you
You know me
but how, I just dont know
You know me
and I sure have fallen fast
I think I've
hit the ground
You know me

*******************************
Shuttin' up the windows
Lockin' up the door
Climbin' up the walls
to the beat of your pulse
The lights are off
The curtains drawn
And I'm crawlin' 'cross the floor
You
drive me crazy, baby
Up the walls all night
To your pulse all night
Feedin' out of your hand
Give it up, give
it up
Give it up, 'til its out of sight
-chorus-
Used to be, used to be
Be lazy, baby
Now I can go
all night
You keep me, keep me, keep me crazy
Shades of crazy
Shades of crazy
Colorin' outside the lines
Burning
through the black
Red and hazy, red and hazy, baby
Shades of crazy, crazy, crazy
Shades of crazy, baby
Bend
like a sapling
Sway in the wind
Yeah we're storm chasing
Its the eye of the storm I'm after
Chains of freedom
cuff me to the bed
Draggin' after you 'til we're racin'
You keep me crazy, baby
On and on all night
To
your blood all night
Eating out of your hand
Keep it going, keep it going
Keep it going til daylight
-repeat
chorus-
-bridge-
Crazy, crazy, crazy...
-repeat chorus and adlib-
