LET
ME UP (I'VE HAD ENOUGH)
1987
JAMMIN' ME
You got me in a
corner
You got me against the wall
I got nowhere to go
I got nowhere to fall
Take back your
insurance
Baby nothin's guaranteed
Take back your acid rain
Baby let your T.V. bleed
You're jammin'
me, you're jammin' me ,
Quit jammin' me
Baby you can keep me painted in a corner
You can look away, but it's not over
Take back your
angry slander
Take back your pension plan
Take back your ups and downs of your life
In raisin-land
Tak e back Vanessa Redgrave
Take back Joe Piscopo
Take back Eddie Murphy
Giv'em all some place to go
You're jammin'
me, you're jammin' me
Quit jammin' me
Baby you can keep me painted in a corner
You can walk away but it's not over
Take back your
Iranian torture
And the apple in young Steve's eye
Yeah take back your losing streak
Check your front wheel drive
Take back
Pasadena
Take back El Salvador
Take back that country club
They're tryin' to build outside my door
RUNAWAY TRAINS
She's up there
all alone
I'm down here changing lanes
Her room was dark and cold
I'm listening to the waves
And I'm
depending on time , babe
To get you out of my mind
I guess it's one
of those things
You can never explain
Like when an angel cries
Like runaway trains
Like one of
those times
That's never the same
Like when something dies
Like runaway trains
She says "I
understand
I'm used to being alone
And holding my own hand
I'm stronger than you know"
I guess it's one
of those things
You can never explain
Like when an angel cries
Like runa way trains
Like one of
those times
That's never the same
Like when something dies
Like runaway trains
Don't blame me
I guess it's one
of those things
You can never explain
Like when an angel cries
Like ru naway trains
Like one of
those times
That's never the same
Like when something dies
Like runaway trains
THE DAMAGE YOU'VE DONE
Well I wish I
had a dollar
For every piece of m y broken heart
Yeah if they gave out a quarter
For every thread of my shattered life
Baby you'd make me a millionaire
But it wouldn't repair
The damage
you've done
The damage you've done
The damage you've done to me
Well I wish I
was a bluebird
Honey, I'd just fly away
And look down over my shoulder
At the country down below
Baby you could make a king
It wouldn't mean a thing
Compare the damage
The damage
you've done
The damage you've done
The damage you've done to me
Well I wish I
knew you better
I wish I was close to you
Then maybe I would understand exactly what
I never did do, honey what's wrong?
What's wrong?
Well I wish you
kinda like d me,
I wish you'd spare my pain
Why do you want to destroy me baby?
What did I do wrong?
Baby I could be a millionaire
And I wouldn't care, after the damage. . .
The damage
you've done
The damage you've done
The dam age you've done to me
IT'LL ALL WORK OUT
She wore faded
jeans and soft black leather
She had eyes so blue they looked like weather
When she needed me I wasn't around
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out
There were times
apart, there were times together
I was pledged to her for worse or better
When it mattered most I let her down
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out
It'll all work
out eventually
Better off with him than here with me
It'll all work
out eventually
Maybe better with him than here with me
Now the wind is
high and the rain is heavy
And the water's rising in the levee
Still I think of her when the sun go es down
It never goes away, but it all works out
MY LIFE/YOUR WORLD
They came this
mornin' with a dog on a chain
They came and took my little brother away
His generation never even got a name
My momma was a rocker way back in ´53
Buys them old records that they sell on T.V.
I know Chuck Berry wasn't singin' that to me
Mama,
That's all right, it's your world
Hey, this is my life
She's my girl
My li fe / your world
I watch that
fortune wheel
But never get to spin it
You made me promises, I don't think you meant it
If there's some sunshine baby
I'm gonna get out in it, oh yeah
Mama,
That's all right, it's your wor ld
Hey, this is my life
She's my girl
My life / your world
I tried to
leave, but the traffic had been stopped
The beach was burnin', and someone was
Throwin' rocks
They said an airplane had
Fallen in my block
Momma,
That's all right, it's your world
Hey, this is my life
She's my girl
My life / your world
THINK ABOUT ME
Listen little
baby one of these days
Your pretty head's gonna turn my way
Honey, oh baby you just wait
One of these nights you're gonna call my name
Oh yeah, one of
these days
Girl you better believe, honey wait and see
Yeah, you better believe
You're gonna think about me
Your boyfrien
d's gotta big red car
Got a compact disc, got a VCR
I can't do no disco dance
But I can sure love you baby if you give me a chance
Oh yeah, one of
these days
Girl you better believe, honey wait and see
Yeah, you better believe
You're gonna think about me
I said oh pretty
baby, is it something I've said?
Tell me why little baby,
I said why must you play with my head?
Listen little
girl I said one of these days
Your pretty head's gonna turn my w ay
Yeah, one of these days, I know I'm right
You're gonna look for me in the middle of the night
Oh yeah, one of
these days
Girl you better believe, honey wait and see
Yeah, you better believe
You're gonna think about me
ALL MIXED UP
I'm all mixed
up, I'm all mixed up about,
All mixed up about you
And no I can't
find no reason
To explain the way that I feel
I remember things being clearer
At one t ime things were more real
I'm all mixed
up, I'm all mixed up about,
All mixed up about you
I'm not lookin'
for sympathy
I'm just frightened by this apathy
Like footsteps way in back of me
On a narrow street of stone
And if time will answer all questions
Then perhaps a film will be shown
Everyone could mail-order tickets
Yeah, you could sell a lot of shirts
For the last picture show
I'm all mixed
up, I'm all mixed up about,
All mixed up about you
A SELF-MADE MAN
If he don't
wanna talk
Leave him alone
If he don't wanna talk
Leave him alone
He's a self-made man, he did it on his own
Now some folks
say there' s a dangerous side
Some folks say he's got a danger side
He's a self-made man, he knows about pride
So help me baby,
look what love can do
It scares me baby, does it scare you too?
Some folks say
it was a woman he knew
So me folks say it was a woman he knew
He's a self-made man, he knows how to lose
So help me baby,
look what love can do
It scares me baby, does it scare you too?
AIN'T LOVE STRANGE
Wel l, it can
get you in the back boy
Or you can lie around in roses
Or maybe walk around wonderin'
You know, goin' through the motions
Hey ain't love
strange?
Hey ain't love strange?
Boy talk about changes
Ain't love strange?
'Cause it can
make you string barb-wire
Around your little piece of ground
For emotional protection
Oh, but it's too late now
Hey ain't love
strange?
Hey ain't love strange?
Boy talk about changes
Ain't love stra nge?
Some keep tryin'
it, giving and denying it
And I don't know why it is I guess you never quit
Tryin' to make sense of it
'Cause it can
feel like perfection,
But never all the time
And you don't wanna be alone again
Oh my, my
Hey ain't love
strange?
Hey ain't love strange?
Boy talk about changes
Ain't love strange?
HOW MANY MORE DAYS
There is
something little darling
That I want you to know
Honey I love you, yeah I need you
Every night, everyday goes so slow
How many more days?
I wanna see you again
Yes, I remember
you smiling
I remember you feeling mighty fine
I remember your kiss, I remember your touc h
I can't get you out of my mind
Little girl, how many more days?
I need to see you again
How long will that take?
I wanna see you again
Oh babe can't
you see? I'll be honest with you
Please don't lie babe, please don't sm ile
Please don't play around with this heart of mine
Can't you see?
It's something I want babe
It's more than that, it's something I need
Oh little darling please be truthful, please
Be faithful, please come now to me
Oh baby-- I need to see you again
Please remember,
little lover
I'll give the good to you
Please remember, my little lover
I'll be good to you--but how many more days?
'Till I can see you again--please don't make me wait
I wanna see you again
LET ME UP (I'VE HAD ENOUGH)
Work 20 years
and they'll take care of you
They'll buy you a diamond, they'll send you on a cruise
Give it all your money, give it all your time
Then wa ke up one morning and wonder why
Let me up
I've had enough
I believe you
baby, I know you wouldn't lie
Like a dog won't bark, like a bird won't fly
Yeah pretty little baby, you're a weapon with eyes
I know what you want, but it's a surprise
Let me up--I've had enough
Yeah, yeah, bet
honest with me
Honey am I what you thought I would be
You tell me you
love me baby, you'll be true
I want to believe you, but I don't know why I do
I woke up this mornin', there was a car in the drive
I didn't recognize it, who was that guy?
Let me up
I've had enough
I believe you
baby, I know you wouldn't lie
Like a dog won't bark, like a bird won't fly
Yeah pretty little baby, you're a weapon with eyes
I know what you want, but it's a surprise
Let me up--I've had enough
Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I tell ya, this is not
A question of humility here
