BLOODSHOT EYES Written by: Hank Perry & Ruth Hakk
 
Now just because your pretty, and you think you're mighty wise
You tell me that you love me, then you roll those big brown eyes
When I saw you last week, your eyes were turnin' black
Go find the guy that beat you up - ask him to take you back
 
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
Well it's plain that you're lyin'
When you say that you've been cryin'
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
 
I used to spend my money, to make you look real sweet
I wanted to be proud of you when we walked down the street
Now don't ask me to dress you up, in satin and in silk
Your eyes look like two cherries in a glass of bottled milk
 
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
Well it's plain that you're lyin'
When you say that you've been cryin'
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
 
So I guess our little romance has finally simmered down
You should join the circus, you make a real good clown
Your eyes look like a roadmap, I'm scared to smell your breath
You better shut your peepers before you bleed to death
 
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
Well it's plain that you're lyin'
When you say that you've been cryin'
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
 
 
 
PAYIN' THE COST TO BE THE BOSS Written by: B.B King
 
You act like you wanna listen when I'm talkin' to you
You think you oughta do baby, anything you wanna do
You must be crazy baby
You just gotta be, outta your mind
As long as I'm payin' the bills
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
 
I'll drink if I wanna, and play a little poker too
I don't want to hear nothin' from ya
As long as I'm takin' care of you
As long as I'm workin' baby, payin' all the bills
I don't want no mouth from you 'bout the way I'm supposed to live
 
You must be crazy baby
You just gotta be, outta your mind
As long as I'm footin' the bill
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
 
Now that you got me huh, you act like you're ashamed
You don't act like my man - you're just usin' my name
I'm gonna have all the money baby
I don't want no back talk
You don't like how I'm doin'
You can pick up your things and walk
 
You must be crazy baby
You just gotta be, outta your mind
As long as I'm payin' the bills
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
 
 
 
SO LONG Written by: Harris, Morgan & Melsher
 
So long, hope we'll meet again one day
I'm hopin' maybe then you'll say
Darlin' - I was wrong
 
So long, so long, so long
Gee, I hate to see you go - umm..
You're really the world to me, you know
You, you just stay so long
 
All alone, with my memories of you
And I can see that your lonely too
You're my own, even though we're far apart
But I'll keep you right here in my heart
 
So long, so long, so long, so long
Though you leave me hear to cry - huh..
Or could it, could it, could it, could it be - goodbye
Don't you know that you've been mine so long
 
Yes I'm alone, with my memories of you
Yes, I can dream, dream, dream, that you're lonely too
You're my own, even though we're far apart
Well I'll keep you right here in my heart
 
So long, so long, so long
Though you leave me hear to cry - huh..
Well this could never, never, never mean goodbye
Darlin' you, you just stay -- So Long.....

TRUE LOVE Written by: Neil Giraldo & Pat Benatar
 
Never been no fragile flower
I always got too much to say
Never had much luck with love and romance
I guess it's always been that way
 
But I've been seriously thinking
About slippin' on the velvet gloves
I know it's strange but my lucks about to change
Cause what we got here is True love, yeh, yeh
 
True Love, you can't buy it - no, no
You know it ain't like nothin' else
True Love, you really ought to try it
You owe it to yourself to get ya some - True Love
 
You know I wake up every morning
It's the first thing on my mind
This is a permanent condition, of the most serious kind
 
Now let me tell you baby
That you were sent from up above
Give me a sign - let's not waste any more time
Cause what we got here is True love, yeh, yeh
 
I called the man at the video store and I said
Cancel my membership, I won't be needing it no more
Found something else to occupy my nights
And baby it's just the right
Amount of True Love
 
I called the man at the video store and I said
Cancel my membership, I won't be needing it no more

Everybody wants it, everybody needs True Love
Don't get me wrong about the bad love
I gotta have good love
True Love - yeah - true Love - Ohh
Ummm...
True Love

EVENING Written by: M. Parish & H. White
 
Evening, every night you come and you find me
And you always remind me, that my baby's gone
 
Evening, you got me deeper in your power
Every minute seems like an hour
Now that my baby's gone
 
Shadows fall upon the wall
That's the time I miss your kiss most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on
 
Oh evening, let me sleep 'til the glow of dawn is breaking
I don't care if I don't awaken
Since my baby's gone
 
Shadows fall upon the wall
That's the time I miss your kiss most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on
 
Evening, let me sleep 'til the glow of dawn is breaking
I don't care if I don't awaken
Since my baby's gone
 
 
 
I GET EVIL Written by: Albert King
 
There's two kinds of people that I just can't stand
An evil hearted woman and a lyin' man
But don't you lie to me, don't you lie to me
Because it makes me feel like it's as evil as I can be
 
Told me that you loved me a long time ago
The woman that you had, you don't want her no more
But don't you lie to me, don't you lie to me
Because it makes me feel like it's as evil as a woman can be
 
You told me that you loved me a long time ago
The woman that you had, you don't want her no more
But don't you lie to me, don't you lie to me
Because it makes me feel like it's as evil as a woman can be
 
Hey, don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
No, No, don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
Because it makes me feel like it's as evil as a woman can be
 
Don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me baby - No
Don't you lie to me
No - don't you lie to me
 
 
 
DON'T HAPPEN NO MORE  Written by: Obie D. Jessie
 
Well there used to be a time when a man was a king
To work for a man was a woman's only dream
Everything he did was perfectly alright
He didn't have to worry about fussin' and fightin'
 
It Don't Happen No More
That was a long time ago
It's a pitiful shame
How the world has changed
 
There used to be a time when a woman couldn't smoke
There used to be a time when a woman couldn't vote
She used to stay at home while the man went out to play
She was satisfied with life any old way
 
It Don't Happen No More
That was a long time ago
It's a pitiful shame
How the world has changed
Well, well
 
There used to be a time when a woman couldn't cook
There used to be a time she didn't worry about her looks
She used to sip on Sassafrass, she didn't even drink
She didn't try to tell her man how to think
 
It Don't Happen No More
That was a long time ago
It's a pitiful shame
How the world has changed
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 
It Don't Happen No More
That was a long time ago
It's a pitiful shame
How the world has changed
 
It Don't Happen No More
That was a long time ago
It's a pitiful shame
How the world has changed
 
 
 
PLEASE COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS Written by: Gene Redd & Charles Brown
 
Bells will be ringing, the glad - glad news
For what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone and I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
 
Oh, crowds will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's night
 
Friends and relations, send salutations
As sure as the stars shine above
Yes it's Christmas, Christmas my dear
It's the time of the year -- time of the year
To be with the one you -- the one you really love
 
Oh won't you tell me, we'll never grow old
Christmas and New Years will find you home
They'll be no more sorrow, no more grief and pain
Because I'll be happy that it's Christmas once again
 
Please come home for Christmas baby
They'll be no more sorrow, no more grief and pain
Because I'll be happy, Lord I'll be so happy
Happy once again
