SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE (Tyler/Perry)

get yourself cooler, lay yourself low
coincidental murder, with nothing to show
when the judge's constipation go to his head
and his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead
it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend

gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun
[ alt: shady lookin' loser, you played with my gun ]
no smoothy face laywer to getcha undone
say love ain't the same on the south side of town
you could look, but you ain't gonna find it around
it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
it's the same old story, same old story
same old song and dance

fate comes a-knockin', doors start lockin'
your old time connection, change your direction
ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it
can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend

when you're low down and dirty, from walkin' the street
with your old hurdy-gurdy, no one to meet
say love ain't the same, on the south side of town
you could look, but you ain't gonna find it around
it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
it's the same old story, same old story
same old song and dance

LORD OF THE THIGHS (Tyler)

Down to who knows who, just to socialize.
I'm waiting for my girls, when you call my eyes.
You got no way to make a man honey,
You got to understand.
I'm your man, child. Lord of the Thighs.

Well, well, Lordie my God,
What do we got here?
She's flashin' 'cross the floor,
Make it perfectly clear.
You're the bait, and you're the hook,
Someone 'bound to take a look.
I'm your man, child. Lord of the Thighs.

You musta come here to find me,
You've got the look in your eyes.
Although you really don't mind me
I am the Lord of your Thighs!
You musta come here to find me baby,
You've got the look in your eyes.
Although you really don't mind it -
I am the Lord of your Thighs!

SPACED (Tyler/Perry)

spaced in time
child of nine
doin' twenty years on the way
fire and steel
earth unreal
find another planet to stay
papa died
ma survived
tellin' me about her ordeal
and the soul she could not feel
'cause it made her so unreal
lightnin' years
disappears
twenty million years on my brain
synthesize
overrides
tryin' to keep from goin' insane
and my soul I can not feel
'cause they made me so unreal

spaced enough to know I feel there's nothin' out there
spaced enough to know I feel I really don't care
spaced enough to feel I'm really losin' my mind

and I'm never never never never ever goin' back
I'm off the track
no one even knows I'm alive
spaced
without a trace
waitin' for the word to arrive
I'm the last man to survive

WOMAN OF THE WORLD (Tyler/Don Solomon)

well she's a woman of the world, and God she knows it
she'll turn my head every time she shows it
yeah, nothin' you could do, nothin' you could say
no way you can try to change her way
she might be gone tomorrow, honey say what you gotta say
lordy lordy lordy lordy what a woman
???????????????????
Lord I tried I tried I tried so hard to please her
she'd give me a look if I beg and tease her
yeah, there's nothin' you can say, nothin' you can do
no way you can try to coochie coo
she might be gone tomorrow, oh lordy what you gonna do?

and I tried with an open hand and a heart of sorrow
hoped that everything would be alright alright alright
don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow
get out all your lovin' here tonight

and I tried with an open hand and a heart of sorrow
hoped that everything would be alright alright alright alright
don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow
get out all your lovin' here tonight

she got big-eyed cats, she got coats of sable
she seats forty-four at her dinner table
and there's nothin' you can do, nothin' you could say
no way you can try to change her way
she might be gone tomorrow, oh throwin' it all away

S.O.S. (TOO BAD) (Tyler)

stagecoach lady, hourglass body
making things glow in the night
well, she would if she could, and she'd be good if she would only
tell her lover she be out tonight
'cause I'm a bad
a lonely school boy
and I'm a rat
and it's too bad, can't get me none of that!
Salt Lake City, salt-lickin' bitties
bogus honey stinkin' of gin
well my daddy was hard, his face was pretty scarred
from kickin' ass and playin' poker to win
'cause I'm a bad
lonely school boy
and I'm a rat
and it's too bad, can't get me none of that!
it's too bad

and it's too bad
can't get me none of that!
loose old lady
my mama Katey
chivalry was born at her feet
well she shoulda thought twice
when pa showed his dice
the night she put my daddy to sleep
'cause I'm a bad
lonely school boy
and I'm a rat
and it's too bad, can't get me none of that!
It's too bad
Lord, it's too bad
I said it's too bad
Lord, it's too bad
I said it's too bad
It's too bad
you know it's too bad
It's too bad

TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN' (Tim Bradshaw/Lois Mann/Howie Kay)

Well, on a train, I met a dame,
She rather handsome, we kinda looked the same
She was pretty, from New York City
I'm walkin' down that old fair lane,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her so
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a heave!, and a ho!
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her

Well, we made a stop in Albuquerque
She must'a thought I was a real cool jerk
Got off the train, and put her hands up
Lookin' so good I couldn't let her go
But I just couldn't tell her so
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her

SEASONS OF WITHER (Tyler)

blues hearted lady, sleepy was she
love for the devil brought her to me
seas of a thousand drawn to her sin
seasons of wither holdin' me in

oooh woe is me, I feel so badly for you
oooh woe is me, I feel so sadly for you in time
bound to lose your mind
live on borrowed time
take the wind right out of your sail

fireflies dance in the heat of
hound dogs that bay at the moon
my ship leaves in the midnight
can't say I'll be back too soon
they awaken, far far away
heat of my candle show me the way
seas of a thousand drawn to her sin
seasons of wither holdin' me in

oooh woe is me, I feel so badly for you
oooh woe is me, I feel so sadly for you in time
bound to lose your mind
live on borrowed time
take the wind right out of your sail

PANDORA'S BOX (Tyler/Kramer)

when I'm in heat and someone gets a notion
I jump to my feet, I hoof it to the ocean
we hit a beach where no one give a hoot
nobody never ever wears a suit
the ladies there, they look so proud
that's cause they know that their so well endowed
now I ain't much on Fannie's conversation
or care too much about her operation

but every time Pandora come my way
I get high, can't explain the sensation
to get it on I got to watch what I say
or I'll catch hell from the women's liberation

sweet Pandora
godlike aura
smellin' like a flora
open up your door for me
sweet Pandora
godlike aura
smellin' like a flora
open up your door for me
sweet Pandora
mama crack a smile for me
just for me, just for me...

now I ain't what you'd call a city slicker
or claim to fame to be a slitty licker
but every time Pandora come my way
I get high, can't explain the sensation
to get it on I got to watch what I say
or I'll catch hell from the women's liberation
