ALBUM: BLUE MOON


"The Lonely"

There's a band called The Lonely playin' downtown tonight
And man, they know their way around the blues
There's not an empty space in the parkin' lot
And there's a line stretchin' around the block
And the sad man standin' at the door says the place is full of broken hearts

If you're hear to see The Lonely, if you're hear to see The Lonely
It's standin' room only for The Lonely

Oh, you can dance with a stranger under the smoky blue lights
You can stand alone with lovers who love to lose
You can drown in your pain if there's room at the bar
You can hide your tears, you can cry in the dark
While The Lonely sings a song straight to your broken heart

If you're hear to see The Lonely, if you're hear to see The Lonely
It's standin' room only

If you're hear to see The Lonely, if you're hear to see The Lonely
It's standin' room only
If you're hear to see The Lonely, if you're hear to see The Lonely
If you're hear to see The Lonely, if you're hear to see The Lonely


    




"Every Night"

Bad love, she took a good shot
Heartaches, she's had a whole lot of tough breaks
And no one could blame her if she holds out
She's a little worried to jump right in
She ain't in a hurry to try again
She's taking time off from love, but

Every night she cries just a little bit less
And she tries a little bit more
She's got every right to wait until her heart has healed
And when she's ready, I'm here and I’m gonna hold her
Inch by inch she gets a little closer to me, every night

She's mad that she ever loved him
She's through and she's had enough of him, but it's true
He's gonna take some time gettin' over
But I don't mind the waitin' because I know
She's worth the time it's takin', our love will grow
We're makin' it day by day and

Every night she cries just a little bit less
She tries a little bit more
She's got every right to wait until her heart has healed
And when she's ready, I'm here and I’m gonna hold her
Inch by inch she gets a little closer to me, every night

Every night she cries just a little bit less
She tries a little bit more
She's got every right to wait until her heart has healed
And when she's ready, I'm here and I’m gonna hold her
Inch by inch she gets a little closer to me, every night

Every night
She cries just a little, she tries a little bit more
Every night, every night


    




"Closin' Time At Home"

Budweiser clock says it's almost twelve
I tipped the bartender, he rang that old bell
San Bernardino nights are great but they sure don't feel like home
Right now in Tulsa they've turned up the lights
The band has stopped playin', they've called it a night
She's makin' her way to the front door I know
She won't be leavin' alone

If it's midnight in California, must be closin' time in Oklahoma
I know that she's already danced another night away
And these west coast nights sure seem colder
Knowin' somebody else's arms will hold her
Midnight in California means it's closin' time at home

I thought this distance between us might help me forget
But I've been here two weeks and it ain't happened yet
A change of scenery hasn't done a thing to change her mind

Oh, these west coast nights sure seem colder
Knowin' somebody else's arms will hold her
Midnight in California means it's closin' time at home
Yeah, midnight in California means it's closin' time at home


    




"A Woman's Touch"

Lately I’ve been lookin' through the windows of my soul
And I can see there's not much left to hold
Just an empty space surrounded by the pieces of
A badly broken heart that’s forgotten how to love

What my heart needs is a woman's touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch

When I look in the mirror, the only thing I see
Are traces of the man I used to be
Late at night I hear it, it cannot be denied
A lonely voice is crying out from somewhere deep inside

What my heart needs is a woman's touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch

What my heart needs is a woman's touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch

Yeah, its rough and ragged edges
Sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch

What my poor heart needs is a woman's touch
A woman's touch


    




"Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine On You"

Day by day, we let love just walk away
And I’ll be the first to say, I was glad to see it go
And day by day, ever since you went away
I find that I’m still missin' you, and I’ve just got to know

Does that blue moon ever shine on you
I want to hold you close to me, feel just like it used to be
And baby, if you feel like I do
You can come to me
Does that blue moon ever shine on you

On my mind, you were right there all the time
I could search and never find someone that does me like you do
Here's the part where I’m givin' you my heart
I was a fool to let you go, girl, I’ve just got to know

Does that blue moon ever shine on you
I want to hold you close to me, feel just like it used to be
And baby, if you feel like I do
You can come to me
Does that blue moon ever shine on you

Night after night, I look to the stars
Wonderin' where you might be
And I’ve thought to myself, is that very same moon
Shinin' on you, like it's shinin' on me

Does that blue moon ever shine on you
I want to hold you close to me, feel just like it used to be
And baby, if you feel like I do
You can come to me
Does that blue moon ever shine on you


    




"Lucky Me"

I can leave my dirty laundry lyin' anywhere
I don't make my bed it's alright, no one ever goes in there
I can fall asleep on the couch and leave the tv on
'Cause I’ve got the whole place to myself
Now that all her things are gone

And lucky me, I’ve got room to breathe
With her out of my way, I’m not crowded anymore
And finally, I’ve got all the space I need to walk the floor
Lucky me

Now I’ve got last week’s dishes still piled up in the sink
And lots of time here on my hands to sit around and think
I'm better off in this house alone, it's a blessing in disguise
And her leavin' came along, I know
Right at the perfect time

And lucky me, I’ve got room to breathe
With her out of my way, I’m not crowded anymore
And finally, I’ve got all the space I need to walk the floor
Lucky me

That sure was a close call, someone could have been hurt
Yeah, she could be missin' me, but that's not what I’ve heard

And lucky me, I’ve got room to breathe
With her out of my way, I’m not crowded anymore
And finally, I’ve got all the space I need to walk the floor
Lucky me
Lucky me, I’ve got all the space I need
Lucky me, I’ve got room to breathe
Lucky me


    




"She's Perfect"

I took Lisa down to the cafe
The one where we first fell in love
I played the same song that we used to dance to
Hopin' it might be enough
But when I told her I was sorry
That only made it worse
Then the waitress came over and saw Lisa cryin'
Said honey what's the matter with her

There's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
She's as pure as she can be
She'd never say, but the only mistake she ever made was me
It might appear to you she's broken
By the teardrops in her eyes
But there's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
I'm the one who made her cry

Could you bring us two cups of coffee
We might be here for a while
Make mine black and hers sweet as sugar
Something that matches her smile
She's already loved me for half of her life
She's never been untrue
So let me tell you before you ask her
If there's anything you can do

There's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
She's as pure as she can be
She'd never say, but the only mistake she ever made was me
It might appear to you she's broken
By the teardrops in her eyes
But there's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
I'm the one who made her cry
There's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
I'm the one who made her cry


    




"She's Gonna Get It"

It's not because she's always satisfied
Or that she's so easy to please
She showed me what love's about
That's for sure and I don't mean maybe
Absolutely, there's no doubt, boys
Nothin's too good for my baby

She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it
That's what she wants, that's what I’m gonna do
No matter what it takes, the sky's the limit
She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it

She don't ask for much of anything
But when she does, I give my all
All it takes is one sweet touch
And I go where her love takes me
I can't seem to get enough
Man, when it comes to my baby

She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it
That's what she wants, that's what I’m gonna do
No matter what it takes, the sky's the limit
She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it

She showed me what love's about
That's for sure and I don't mean maybe
Absolutely, there's no doubt, boys
Nothin's too good for my baby

She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it
That's what she wants, that's what I’m gonna do
No matter what it takes, the sky's the limit
She's gotta have it

She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it
That's what she wants, that's what I’m gonna do
No matter what it takes, the sky's the limit
She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it


    




"Me Too"

If I send you roses for no reason at all
If out of the blue, I stop and give you a call
Once in a while, it's breakfast in bed
And then pull the covers back up over our heads

If I call in sick just to stay home with you
I want you to know why I do what I do
It's my way of sayin' what I can't express
But I want you to know girl I’m doin' my best

Oh I’m just a man that's the way I was made
I'm not too good at sayin' what you need me to say
It's always right there on the tip of my tongue
It might go unsaid but it won't go undone
So when those three little words come so easy to you
I hope you know what I mean when I say, me too

If you should wake up and catch me watchin' you sleep
And I break the silence by kissin' your cheek
If I whisper somethin' you don't understand
Don't make me repeat it, I don't know if I can

Oh I’m just a man that's the way I was made
I'm not too good at sayin' what you need me to say
It's always right there on the tip of my tongue
It might go unsaid but it won't go undone
So when those three little words come so easy to you
I hope you know what I mean when I say, me too

Me too, me too, hope you know what I mean when I say
Me too, me too


    




"Hello"

I was hangin’ out in Mexico, I had a beachfront bungalow
I know I should have gone home, but I was doin’ that Caribbean thing
I was listenin’ to a Spanish guitar, drinkin’ margaritas under the stars
With a pretty senorita when the telephone started to ring, guess who

Hello, honey I was just about to
Hello, baby I was gettin’ ready
Hello, I know I should have called sooner, oh, no, no
Hello, if you give me just a minute
Hello, don’t you hang up till I’m finished
Hello, you’re the only one I’ve ever, you know
Hello

Well, there was silence at the end of the line
I thought I’d give her till a quarter of nine
I forgot to call her back and the party was a-rollin’ at ten
See, I was workin’ on tequila and lime
I guess I never even noticed the time
I was dancin’ the Iguana when the phone started ringin’ again
And you know who

Hello, honey I was just about to
Hello, baby I was gettin’ ready
Hello, I know I should have called sooner, oh, no, no
Hello, if you give me just a minute
Hello, don’t you hang up till I’m finished
Hello, you’re the only one I’ve ever, you know
Hello

Hello, honey I was just about to
Hello, baby I was gettin’ ready
Hello, I know I should have called sooner, oh, no, no
Hello, if you give me just a minute
Hello, don’t you hang up till I’m finished
Hello, you’re the only one I’ve ever, you know
Hello

Hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello
