Yes
written by McAlmont/Butler


So you wanna know me now
How I've been
You can help someone recover
After all you did

So tell me
Am I looking better
But you forgot
Whatever it was that you couldn't stand about me
About me, About me, Because

Yes I do feel better (better)
Yes I do, I feel alright (I never loved you)
I feel well enough to tell you what you can do
With what you've got to offer

You wanna know me now
How I've been
You can't help someone recover
After all you did

So tell me
Am I looking better
But you forgot
Whatever it was that you couldn't stand about me
About me , about me, because

Yes I do feel better (better)
Yes I do, I feel alright (I never loved you)
I feel well enough to tell you what you can do
With what you've got to offer

Yes I do feel better (better)
Yes I do, I feel alright (I never loved you)
I feel well enough to tell you what you can do
With what you've got to offer

On and on and on and on and on and on
There's no one who said
Stay away
Stay away

Better, better, yeah

Yes
Yes
Yes

I feel well enough to tell you what you can do
With what you've got

What's The Excuse This Time?
written by McAlmont/Butler


You oughta give me something
(You said you would)
I try to figure just how long it has been
You said you could you said you would
So say now, how long will it be?
I just want to see

You oughta give me something
(You said you would)
Am I impatient, are you taking your time
You spoke about it, talked about it
But I still can't see
What it's supposed to be, yeah

I never asked for much in my life
I've always managed to pass things by
But a promise is a promise
So tell me now
What's the excuse this time?
Yes.

You oughta give me something
(You said you would)
This century is dawning to its close
I could wait forever, stay forever
Until you felt inclined I suposse
(But when, no one knows)

You oughta give me something
(You said you would)
I'm not expecting the moon or the stars
This thing has been so [scarse] I must declare
I still can't tell how good you are (how good you are)

I never asked for much in my life
I've always managed to pass things by
But a promise is a promise
So tell me now
What's the excuse this time?

A promise is a promise
So tell me now
What's the excuse this time?

A promise is a promise
So tell me now
What's the excuse
.. this time?

You oughta give me something
(You said you would)
Cos you started something
(you said you would)
You oughta give me something
(I think you should)
Just a little something
(You said you would)

You oughta give me something
(Just a little bit)
Just a little something
(Can't get rid of it)
Just a little something
(Just a little bit)

Then we started something
(Just a little bit)
You oughta give me something
(You said you would)
Just a little something
(Just a little bit)



The Right Thing
written by McAlmont/Butler


We belong together, believe me
It's the right thing to do

Your mama and your papa against it
It's the right thing to do

We belong together, believe me
We've been together all this time

If love is all that matters
Well I've got yours and you've got mine

Anyone could try to come between we two
None of them could overcome what I feel towards you

We belong together, believe me
We've been together all this time

Love is not the answer
However
I've got yours and you've got mine

Anyone try, come on, yeah, it's me and you
None of them could ever drive a wedge, no no
Between we two

We belong together
It's the right thing to do

We belong together
It's the right thing to do

(It's the right thing to do)

Anyone try, come on, yeah, it's me and you
None of them could ever drive a wedge, no no
Between me and you
Anyone try, come on, yeah, it's me and you
It's the right thing
It's the right thing
It's the right thing to do



Although
written by McAlmont/Butler


Although you've given me, many things
I can't do anything about you
Well breathe but you waste away
It a while since you've been okay
I find that I'm short of things to say or do

So while your head is still clear
And I can find the words
Know that my life's been better for you
Oh

I think of the varied things we've been through
The shade in the light in our lives,
The objections too
[Those we say we deserve this thing]
Them boys living in their sin
And angry god, well, what the hell did we do?
Oh

So while your head is still clear
And I can find the words
Know that my life's been better for you
Oh

Ooh
Ooh, what can I do?
Tell me, tell me

Although you've given me, many things
And everything
I can't do everything, everything, everything
Although you've given me, many things, many things
I can't do anything, everything
Nothing at all

Although you've given me, many things
I can't do nothing,
Nothing,
Nothing at all



Don't Call it Soul
written by McAlmont/Butler


I have to tell you
What's been going on
Since you've been gone
Well, things they have changed
But not much for the better

And you're too long
Long gone to right the wrong
[We look for songs man]
But instead of tunes
We spread the groove around some

Your time has come and past
And I just can't decide
wether to love ya
Wether to hate ya
Or just lay down and die

So don't call it soul
No no no
Cos it's never soul
No no no
No no no

What's in your [head]
What's in your mind
Well nevermind now
We come, we go
We live, we laugh
We suffer

Your time has come and past
And I just can't decide
wether to love ya
Wether to hate ya
Or just lay down and die

Your time has come and past
And I just can't decide
wether to love ya
Wether to hate ya
Or just lay down and die

So don't call it soul
No no no
But it's never soul
No no no
No no no
Well



The Debitor
written by McAlmont/Butler


Name the price
We [comply]
You don't sign
On this here line
You place your credit card
And that there's smart it says proceed
Punch your number in
And do some more spending

Call you creditor
When that side has failed as well
I'll be your debitor
Cos you've got money to spend
See I don't move it, hard investment
Swear I've got a vital contribution
I'm your debitor

Name your price
I'll comply
You decide
What is right
You're so dangerous
Me I keel down and gave her shoes
Dressed up the [hood] that you are
Chauffered round in that car

Call you creditor
When that side has failed as well
I'll be your debitor
And you've got money to spend
See I don't move it, hard investment
Swear I've got a vital contribution
I'm your debitor

I want you to name your price
I tell you that I will comply
Let me sign
On that there line

Name your price, I'll comply
Name your price, we'll comply
You decide what is right
You decide what is right, you're so dangerous
Me, I keel down and gave her shoes
Dressed up the [hood] that you are
Chauffered round in that car

Call you creditor
And when that side has failed as well
I'll be debitor
And you've got money to spend
See I don't move it, hard investment
Swear I've a vital contribution
I'm your debitor

And you've got money to spend
And you've got money to spend

More money



How About You
written by McAlmont/Butler


Drunken, waiting for you
Will you have a drink with me?

Cruising, today's over
Number three [..]

You're not exactly what I want
I'm all alone and you seem keen
One more night alone
Was no appeal
I need a drink
How 'bout you?

Listen, to my rambling
There's no need to care for me
You're here for some reason
I'm drawn to your empathy

And you're not exactly what I want
I'm all alone and you seem keen
One more night alone
No appeal
I need a drink
How 'bout you?



You'll Lose A Good Thing
written by Ozen/Meaux


If you should lose me
Oh yeah
You'll lose a good thing

If you should lose me
Oh yeah
You'll lose a good thing

You know I love you
Do anything for you
Just don't mistreat me
And I'll be good to you

Cos if you should lose me
Oh yeah
You'll lose a good thing

I'm giving you one more chance
For you to do right
If you'd only straighten out
We'd have a good life

If you should lose me
Oh yeah
You'll lose a good thing

This is my last time
Not askign you any more
If you don't do right
I'm gonna march out that door

If you don't lose me
You'll lose a good thing
Just try that

And lose a good thing
Just try that

(repeat til fade)



You Do
written by McAlmont/Butler


I wanted to be the strong one
I want to look up to you
I need you now
I need you now
I never want to see you break down
But you do, yes, you do

I want you to be the champion
Oh, to rely on you
I need you now
I need you now
I never want to see you break down
But you do, yes, you do

Be stronger
Be stronger
Be stronger
Stronger
Be bold now
Not harmless
Be stronger
Stronger

I need you now
I always have
I need you now
I always have

I need you

I need you

I want you to be the strong one
I want to look up to you

[Baby] be stronger
Tell me you're stronger
Tell me you're stronger
Tell me how strong
Show me you're stronger
Show me you're stronger
Show me you're stronger
Show me how strong

I want you to be the strong one
I want to look up to you

I want you to be the strong one
I want to look up to you
