Smokie - The Collection [compilation] (1992) by Smokie (보컬) on maniadb.com

A breathless drive on a downtown street,

A motor-bike ride in the midday heat,

The dust that hung from the desert skies,

Run though we'd run it still burned our eyes,

Oh yes we may walk on the wild wild side of life,

And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side,

And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand,

And show me a way to understand.

So if you think you know how to love me,

And you think you know what I need,

And if you really really want me to stay,

You've got to lead the way,

Yes if you think you know how to love me,

And you think you can stand by me,

And if you really really want me to stay,

You've got to lead the way.

A reckless nite in a nameless town,

Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound,

A beach that wept with deserted waves,

That's where we slept knowing we'd be safe,

Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me,

But there's a lot I can learn and a lot that I've yet to see,

You know you've got my life lying in your hands,

It's up to you to make me understand.

So if you think you know how to love me,

And you think you know what I need,

And if you really really want me to stay,

You've got to lead the way,

Yes if you think you know how to love me,

And you think you can stand by me,

And if you really really want me to stay,

You've got to lead the way.

I met a girl in L.A. and she seemed alright to me,
She said she'd give me loving and she said it would be free,
She told me she would call me or leave a message at the door,
And left me wondering what I was in for.

By the next time that I saw her I had clean forgot her name
And without her fancy make-up she just didn't look the same,
So I totally ignored her and she sadly turned away,
And through sympathy I told her she could stay.

Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
No one wants your love at all,
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
Now you're heading for a fall,
And you really think your're something,
you know all the things to do
But poor lady, just a baby,
There's a hundred more like you.

Now for two weeks more she was at my door,
She would stay with me for days,
As a lover she was frightening in so many different ways,
But when it came to conversation she was totally absurd,
Oh she'd sit for hours and never say a word.

Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
No one wants your love at all,
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
Now you're heading for a fall,
And you really think your're something,
you know all the things to do
But poor lady, just a baby,
There's a hundred more like you.

She spends her days in different ways, still trying to be hip,
And at night she'll find she'll lose her mind, at a club along the strip,
When her money goes she always knows she got something she can sell,
It's the one thing that she really can do well.

Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
No one wants your love at all,
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
Now you're heading for a fall,
And you really think your're something,
you know all the things to do
But poor lady, just a baby,
There's a hundred more like you.

Mexican Girl


Juanita came to me last night,
And she cried over and over
Ooh daddy, I love you, you know
And I think it's the moonlight.

She looked so fine well she looked alright,
And she moaned, oh daddy move over
Oh baby, you know what I like
And I think it's the moonlight.

Made in Mexico, schooled in France
Ooh la lovin' she needed no teachin'
Oh man, I can say
International ways, I believe in.

Mexican girl, don't leave me alone,
I got a heart as big as a stone
And I need you belive me
To be here and love me tonight.

Mexican girl, I want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as I live
I will always remember the one
That I called, my Mexican girl.

Her skin was soft as the velvet sky
And her hair it shone in the moonlight
And as the music did play
Well the night turned to day
And I held her tight.

Then she looked at me
With her dark brown eyes
And she whispered, "Hasta la Vista"
Well I don't know what that means
But it sounded it's so good so I kissed her.

Mexican girl, don't leave me alone,
I got a heart as big as a stone
And I need you belive me
To be here and love me tonight.

Mexican girl, I want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as I live
I will always remember the one that I called

Now Mexican girl, don't leave me alone,
I got a heart as big as a stone
And I need you belive me
To be here and love me tonight.

Mexican girl, I want you to stay
You know my heart is longing to say
That as long as I live
I will always remember the one
That I called, my Mexican girl.

Sally called when she got the word
She said, 'I suppose you've heard about Alice.'
Well, I rushed to the window and I looked outside
Well, I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive

I don't know why she's leaving
or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

We grew up together
Two kids in the park
Carved our initials deep in the bark
Me and Alice ...
Now she walks through the door
With her head held high
Just for a moment I caught her eyes
As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive

I don't know why she's leaving
or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

Then Sally called back and asked how I felt
She said, 'I know how to help get over Alice.'
She said, 'Now Alice is gone but I'm still here.
You know I've been waiting twenty-four years.'
And the big limousine disappeared

I don't know why she's leaving
or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice

Baby It's You

I was lost and at an end
It seemed so long
I really needed a friend
Why should I pretend?

I couldn't think I had to see
That Southern Comfort comforts me
I could be free
But where would I be?

Then you came along
And you sang your song
And you made my day
In your special way

Then I knew
That baby it's you
Baby it's you
You know that it's you I'm thinking of
Baby it's you

Try my best to get along
Make some friends, but something always went wrong
I come on too strong
Things were really getting rough
Getting tired of acting like I was tough
I just had enough

Then you came along
And you sang your song
And you made my day
In your special way

Then I knew
That baby it's you
Baby it's you
You know that it's you I'm thinking of
Baby it's you

(Chorus x 2)

Don't talk to me of shattered dreams,
Of course you don't know what it means,
To live for someone else, you can't just take,
And when you're bitten by the truth,
You blame it on your mis-spent youth,
You never seem to learn by your mistakes.

So don't talk to me of wild wild angels,
Wild wild angels on the skyways,
Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life,
'Cos it's people like you who never knew,
What wild wild angels have to face.

And I ain't hangin' round to see,
You turn on someone else like me,
I'm still alive and you know the way I live,
But baby that's one way you'll never be,
Such simple things you fail to see,
You take back everything you ever give.

So don't talk to me of wild wild angels,
Wild wild angels on the skyways,
Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life,
'Cos it's people like you who never knew,
What wild wild angels have to face.

So don't talk to me of wild wild angels,
Wild wild angels on the skyways,
Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life,
'Cos it's people like you who never knew,
What wild wild angels have to face.

So don't talk to me of wild wild angels,
Wild wild angels on the skyways,
Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life,
'Cos it's people like you who never knew,
What wild wild angels have to face

Don't play your rock'n'Roll to me
That ain't the way it's meant to be
I ain't so blind that I can't see
Just let it lie and let it be
Don't play your rock'n'roll to me
Don't play your rock'n'roll to me
Don't play your rock'n'roll to me
I know you think I'm crazy to keep hangin' round
But I was sort of hopin' you'd change from the girl I found
But your words just sound like rock'n'roll lines to me
They''re just about as burnt out as a worn out forty-five
And you can't expect them to keep our love alive
Don't play your rock'n'Roll to me
I guess you had me fooled for a while
Whit your come on loks and your Mona Lisa smile
But your rock'n'roll is gettin' out of time for me
Go sing your lines to someone else, 'coss someone else may be
The fool you always thought you saw in me

Well I was out cruisin',
getting late and I was losin',
When I saw you walking my way,
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want,
But so do I and I ain't losing today.
Well your hips were swinging
and your jeans were clinging,
You were driving me out of my mind,
On a hot afternoon when there's nothing to do,
Your not the sort of thing a fellow should find,

So I pulled on over,
you tossed your hair off your shoulder,
As you turned and you looked my way,
Oh you would have died
or you'd have skinned me alive,
If I'd have said what I wanted to say,
So being polite said what you doin' tonight,
You said: "Just so happens I'm free",
You got all the right curves
and all the right words,
And that's alright by me.

Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days,
Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before,
Oh baby, you've opened the door,
Oh Carol, you can do it some more.

Well if you're ready for this
when we started to kiss,
She said: "Hold on a minute or two".
Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me,
I said: "Baby what's troublin' you",
She said: "I'm not sixteen,
if you know what I mean",
So we sat and we talked for a while,
And when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist,
And I must say she did it with style.

Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days,
Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before,
Oh baby, you've opened the door,
Oh Carol, you can do it some more.

All right...

Well I was out cruisin',
getting late and I was losin',
When I saw you walking my way,
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want,
But so do I and I ain't losing today.

Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days,
Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before,
Oh baby, you've opened the door,
Oh Carol, you can do it some more.

Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days,
Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before,
Oh baby, you've opened the door,
Oh Carol, you can do it some more.
Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more.
Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more.

So you caught a glimpse of someone you once knew,
And it seem to find it hard to face the truth,
Oh, but that don't make it right,
To be wantin' me tonight,
When your thoughts on love keep changing all the time.

Well we both knew that there'd be things we'd have to face,
But is it true that I can never take his place,
Oh but I can't read your mind,
For the things you hope to find
When your thoughts on love keep changing all the time.

Now Heaven knows I tried just everything I knew,
But it seems there ain't no getting through to you,
Guess I've played out every line,
Still you can't make up your mind,
'Cos your thoughts on love are changing all the time.

'Guess I've played out every line,
Still you can't make up your mind,
When your thoughts on love keep changing all the time

Love has shaken me, sometimes mistaken me
This time it's making me hide
Love has told on me then got a hold on me
Followed my heart to my pride

But something's been making me blue
And somehow I can't talk it over with you
Something's been making me sad
Something I'm missing that I never had
And I know what's making me blue
Is losing you

Love was a game you played, a mistake I made
Never found it on time
I thought love was alive again, then it died again
Leavin' me wondering why

But something's ben making me blue
And somehow I can't talk it over with you
Something's been making me sad
Something I'm missing that I never had
And I know what's making me blue
Is losing you

What is this feeling
that keeps you revealing your pride
Why don't you listen
you can't reminisce on the times
that she loved you and lied

I know, but love was so real to me
how does it feel to be Tellin' yourself it's a lie
But now love's got me wondering
got me fumbling, Got me stumbling by

But something's ben making me blue
And somehow I can't talk it over with you
Something's been making me sad
Something I'm missing that I never had
And I know what's making me blue
Is losing you

Lay Back In The Arms Of Someone

If you want my sympathy
Just open your heart to me
and you'll get whatever you'll ever need

you think that's too hight for you
Oh baby, I would die for you
When there's nothin' left
you know where I'll be

Lay back in the arms of someone
you give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love

Lay back in the arms of someone
when you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love


so baby just call on me
when you want all of me
and I'll be your lover I'll be your friend
and there's nothing I won't do
'Cause baby I just live for you
with nothing to hide, no need to pretend ..ohoh

Lay back in the arms of someone
you give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love

Lay back in the arms of someone
when you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
[Instrumental]


Oh I know you think that's too high for you
Oh baby, I would die for you
when there's nothing left ..I'll be with you

Lay back in the arms of someone
you give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love

Lay back in the arms of someone
when you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
[Instrumental]

A summer evening on Les Champs Elyses
A secret rendezvous they
planned for days
I see faces in the crowded cafe
A sound of laughter as the
music plays

Jeanne Claude was a student
at the University
Louise Marie is just a world away
He recall the night they met
was warm with laughter
The words and music as
she turned away
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
But Jeanne Claude Louise
Marie will never be

Each cigarette will light a
thousand faces
The shade is passing like a
thousand years
Midnight was turning into
empty spaces
The sound of laughter'd disappeared
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
Oh but Jeanne Claude Louise
Marie will never be

A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses
The entertainment in the street cafe
The sunlight melting through
an open doorway
Jeanne Claude has left
some other day
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
Oh but Jeanne Claude Louise
Marie will never be

Needles And Pins

(Sonny Bono / Jack Nitzsche)

I saw her today,
I saw her face,
It was a face I loved, and I knew,
I had to run away,
And get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away,
And still they begin,
Needles and pins,
Because of all my pride,
The tears I gotta hide.

Oh, thought I was smart,
I'd won a heart,
Didn't think I do,
But now you see,
She's worse to him and me,
Let her go ahead,
And take this love instead,
And one day she will see,
Just how to say 'please',
Get down on her knees,
That's how they begin,
You'll feel those needles and pins,
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her,
What can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong,
What can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm strong.

Because I saw her today ...
I saw her face,
It was a face I loved, and I knew,
I had to run away,
And get down on my knees and pray,
That they'd go away,
And still they begin,
Needles and pins,
Because of all my pride,
The tears I gotta hide...

Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins.

I was lost and at an end
It seemed so long
I really needed a friend
Why should I pretend?

I couldn't think I had to see
That Southern Comfort comforts me
I could be free
But where would I be?

Then you came along
And you sang your song
And you made my day
In your special way

Then I knew
That baby it's you
Baby it's you
You know that it's you I'm thinking of
Baby it's you

Try my best to get along
Make some friends, but something always went wrong
I come on too strong
Things were really getting rough
Getting tired of acting like I was tough
I just had enough

Then you came along
And you sang your song
And you made my day
In your special way

Then I knew
That baby it's you
Baby it's you
You know that it's you I'm thinking of
Baby it's you

(Chorus x 2)

Ja Rule, Uh
Shade and Irv Gotti
Niggas don't want none of this

[Ja Rule]
Ladies call me white Kane, pure as snow
Like cocaine, cutiepies powder they nose
I've been preaching to the stars
Ladies be livin real harder
A lot of icons, but consider me God
Born in the seventies
The eighties was growing wit time
Now it's two G nigga
And the world is mine
I was a smart nigga
Figured if he put me on the spot
Wit hot shit bubble me up till I rock
Come put me on the block
In a new form and new sound
For Ja Rule and I'm feeling like I'm too strong
I move on down to D.C., V.A.
And I even did as far as Californ-I-A
Come to shit
They fly, they float, they snort, they smoke
Hustle, bag and mope
For more
Down the freeway racing out of control, it's crazy
When you fucking wit Rule it's shady

[
]
Niggas if you hustle and stick 'em
It's your life
Bitches if your Fuckin and striping
It's alright

We all got to eat
So live your life
Niggas
It's alright
Bitches
It's your life

[Shade Sheist]
Now I got to hit you wit some other shit
Sentinella gutta shit
Four sides of the chrome
Flows smack you wit the rubber grip
Never been a nigga, niggas wanna play they cards wit
See me in the dark whip
Better go call your guards quick
Better go hit the block and tell them bitches that shisty shit
Known the freaks face like that yellow bezel ice shit
Similar response, yo that kid spit the nicest
Baby re-intice this, CD's raise they prices
Make a nigga chain, oaid off in a different name
Maid think they got flame, Shade just hit the brain
Me and Ja fucked around and made the teams A-list
Two niggas from two sides, like a 7/10 split bitch

[
2x]

[Ja Rule]
Niggas from the East
Christ from the gun to the mics
I'm living my life
Running through hell wit no ice
It's a sin
But I'd sell my lost soul to win
Go to bed and die
Then I'd wake up breathing again
Cause I'm all in
Even though shit ain't right
I wake up sweatin my life every night
Help me, is it the devil that going to get me
Or is it God don't feel like being bothered wit me
So hard to hit me, this life a sacrifice
If I grow blind through the dark my kids gonna see the light
If I die young it's cause a nigga too high strung
Got scary love for gun wit too much weed in my lungs
And still niggas screaming Ja the one, the chosen
The God's only begotten son, it's my life

[
2x]

Once knew a man who thought he was another guy,
he was livin' a lie.
He took a chance by roaming the streets in the night,
Till he learned how to fight.
He met trouble one night, another man with his wife.
So he brought out his knife, didn't mean to take his life.
Now he's got to get away, hear him say.

Chorus: (First)
I'm going down to the Liverpool Docks,
Try to hitch a ride, ain't gonna break no rocks.
And I never had a friend, I never needed one.
I'm going down to the silvery sea,
I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me.
And maybe I can go where I won't ever have to come
back again.

He took his time, lived his life alone,
An' his thoughts were his own.
He lived in a place he'd never heard of before,
In Block number four.
Then one night at his door, he stood facing the law.
On the paper he saw, what they wanted him for,
They're gonna take him back, and he said.

Chorus: (Second)
I'm goin' back to the Liverpool Docks,
Gonna take a ride, gotta break some rocks.
And I never had a friend, but I never needed one.
Take a ride on the silvery sea,
I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me.
An' I don't wanna go 'cos I know that I'll never come
back again.

Chorus: (First) repeat
