1.	Try Me 03:25	lyrics	buy track
All you people right here Listen very carefully To what I've got to say to you. I've come a long way I'm stage hungry So this is what I'm gonna do Imma lay it real smooth Imma sing it real good Imma lay it real smooth Imma sing it real good I gotta raise your spirits I gotta nail my song I gotta touch your heart I won't bite my tongue Cos if I need to say it rough, I'll say it If it's a painful truth, then Imma tell it to you And if you're looking for fun, you'll get it With my groove Try, try, try on the microphone Try, try, try, try me all night long Dance, dance, dance with me all night And sing it now, the feeling's right. Blues was born by the Mississippi river I'm from far away But when my ma played those James Brown tunes I'd sing to them for days Cos he has that soul, that spice, That energy that vibes Can I get the flow, the beat To bring you to your feet Try, try, try on the microphone Try, try, try, try me all night long Dance, dance, dance with me all night And sing it now, the feeling's right. Imma try on the microphone Try, try me all night long You're gonna sing with me all night And dance, dance til the morning light So jump! Jump to your feet I said jump! Don't skip the beat I got the heat.... I'm gonna bring you to your feet It took long It took long It took way too long Try to stop me now
2.	Lucky Red Dress 04:39	lyrics	buy track
I got a closet full of clothes I love each and every piece I got warm gloves for my hands I got fine shoes for my feet But there's one I can rely on When I'm aiming to impress I'm talking bout no other Than my lucky red dress It's not too short, it's not too long Yeah, it fits me just right It looks great in every setting Be it day or be it night But it's got the kind of charm I save only for the best Now it's really up to you Will you say no or will you say yes Oh, won't you treat me just right Oh, it's such a lovely night to look at the stars You see this dress It's like a fire I'll aim for your heart I'll get you wired Before you know it You'll be hypnotized The secret is It matches my eyes Take my hand Soon you'll understand What it takes Just to be my man Don't want no flowers Won't even need to flirt I just want your hand Running up my skirt It'll leave you shakin' Like your backbone's breakin' Come and let my love run you through Silk smooth Right length Great fit Deep red I'm talkin' bout I am talkin' bout My lucky dress My lucky red dress I am talkin' bout my lucky red dress I am talkin' bout my lucky red dress
3.	Long Gone 06:04	lyrics	buy track
Shut your mouth, boy Before you start tellin' lies All that I need to know I can read in your eyes We've had some good times At first I had my doubts But I've been fallin' deeper I'll even say it out loud The winter passed, and the summer came But our light, it began to fade You're leavin' now But you were long gone anyway You won't see my cry No, I won't cry Not in fron of you We're fallin' apart It's breakin' my heart But it's true We're never holding hands again Yes, I know. I've been through this before But baby it hurts To know we'll never walk along the shore But don't you worry, I'll get by It's time for you to fly, fly away So go on and leave, and don't look behind Cos anyway I won't change your mind It was fun Now it's over I'll get wise As I get older I kissed your tears Now I lick my wounds What can't be changed Must be assumed So long
4.	Don't Wait Up 04:04	lyrics	buy track
Honey I've had the most terrible day My boss was in a mood, he yelled at me The coffee machine stopped workin' Old Simon wouldn't stop talkin' I need to cheer up, I need to cool down I'm gonna hit the town So honey don't wait up. Don't wait up. Don't wait up. Don't wait up. Cos I won't be home tonight Don't wait up for me When the clock strikes four, it's time to go Me and my girls are gonna steal the show I've got my lipstick on and a drink in my hand It's time to dance to my favorite band Cos it's all alright now. So honey don't wait up. Don't wait up. Don't wait up. Don't wait up. Cos I won't be home tonight Don't wait up for me Tomorrow will be a brand new day I'm gonna make it up to you I'm gonna make your meal, wear your favorite dress We're gonna do what lovers do There's an open mic at the Midnight Blues There's a lot of smoke, and a lot of booze I'm gonna head up there, gonna sing my song And when I start, it can't go wrong Cos it's all alright now. So honey don't wait up. Don't wait up. Don't wait up. Don't wait up. Cos I won't be home tonight Don't wait up for me Tomorrow will be a brand new day I'm gonna make it up to you I'm gonna make your meal, wear your favorite dress We're gonna do what lovers do I'm gonna shake and twist Go low, now more Don't wait up tonight. Don't wait up tonight. Oh, the feeling's right. Don't wait up tonight. Cos honey, I won't be home til dawn.

There's something foul with my oral opening I cannot seem to control it, I object to everything You know, I'm talking all the time But I've got bupkiss to say The ka-ka my vocal cords produce Even outdid my ass today Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Speak when spoken to Speak when spoken to Speak when spoken to Speak when spoken to Pseudo-provocative, I haven't got a clue What I'm referring to, I just argue 'til I turn blue The sound of my own voice gives me An intellectual high I get off on my own arrogance I'm so cynical I could cry Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Speak when spoken to Speak when spoken to Speak when spoken to Speak when spoken to My mouth's in good shape My lips are itching Spare me some duct tape Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
6.	Ray Of Sunshine 05:17	lyrics	buy track
You're my ray of sunshine You're my spark of light You're the reason I wake up Every day and smile Chase away my sorrows When I'm feelin' blue My most perfect creation My purest love is you It was the last day of spring You kept me waiting so long You took your sweet time, baby But at last you came along Your daddy walked into the room He counted fingers and toes He said "Welcome, sweet child" Then kissed your tiny little nose You're my ray of sunshine You're my spark of light You're the reason I wake up Every day and smile Chase away my sorrows When I'm feelin' blue My most perfect creation My purest love is you Now it's been two years since I'm thankful every day I love to hear you sing, I love to see you learn, I love to watch you play. One day you'll be a grown man Wise heart and big strong arms But til that day your mama's here To keep you away from harm. You're my ray of sunshine You're my spark of light You're the reason I wake up Every day and smile Chase away my sorrows When I'm feelin' blue My most perfect creation My purest love is you You're my ray, you're my ray You're my ray of sunshine Dance, play Sing, light up my day With your pretty little face, your smile Your clapping hands, big bright eyes (Bring it up and sing) Shine on me Set me free Shed your light On my life Light my way Every day Rise and shine All is fine Shine on me Set me free Shed your light On my life
