When the moon comes up the sun goes down Rita starts to creep around Gets a flame in her blood fire on her breath Fourteen names notched on her chest She gotta rose tattooed on her thigh Dead men raise and sigh And it drives my young blood wild
My baby's got the Cadillac walk
When Rita turns down her bed Grown men plead and beg Baby honey baby you're the one Carve your name right on my gun Ain't she something nice Bones rattle my dice I slobber down my side
My baby's got the Cadillac walk
Lonely tonight honey hear my call She said boy I won't make you crawl Rita pound by pound Knows how to work it down Weep and cry to and fro Leave your heart she'll steal your gold No matter what the cost Ooh...them duel exhaust Make my motor sigh
I was standing on the corner of the avenue I was watching all the girls go by And there she was in a five and ten cent store Somehow I got to make her mine Yeah somehow I got to make her mine.
I was way uptown, I was lost in the crowd I was in blood bank, I was standing in line And there she was, she was checking my count Somehow I got to make her mine Yeah somehow I got to make her mine.
She got style, she got taste, she's got long, long legs She got savoir faire She don't need no hook, she's got more than good looks She got savoir faire.
Maybe in some cafe, along the Champs-Elysee Maybe Rome, maybe Avenue C. I know I've seen your face some place before Baby, I love the way you paint your lips Yes, I love the way you move your hips.
She got style, she got taste, she's got long, long legs She got savoir faire She don't need no hook, she's got more than good looks She got savoir faire.

Up on Bamboo Road (Bamboo Road) Up on Bamboo Road (Bamboo Road) Yes you're sweeter than the sugar cane up on Bamboo Road.
We walk out to the cane fields, all thirty five men At twelve o'clock they give us water and we stagger back again Four o'clock, the sun gets higher, I hear that screen door slam See you in the big house kitchen window from the cane fields where I'm in.
Up on Bamboo Road (Bamboo Road) Up on Bamboo Road (Bamboo Road) Yeah you're sweeter than sugar cane Sweeter than sugar cane, sweeter than the sugar cane up on Bamboo Road.
I want to hold you close, Cher, I can only see you when I can All day I cut that pure cane sugar but I'm still a starving man.

You may be far away or just may be down the street I hear every sound that you make and every time that your heart beats.
You're there in every dream I dream You're there in every breath I breathe You're there even while I sleep.
You got some kind of magic charm, you got some unearthly ways I try to hold on so tight to my heart but at night I still see your face.
You're there in every dream I dream You're there in every breath I breathe You're there even while I sleep Even while I sleep Even while I sleep Even while I sleep.
You're there in every dream I dream You're there in every breath I breathe You're there even while I sleep.
You may be far away or just may be down the street I hear every sound that you make every time that your heart beats.
You're there in every dream I dream You're there in every breath I breathe You're there even while I sleep Even while I sleep Even while I sleep Even while I sleep.
Even while I sleep Even while I sleep Even while I sleep Even while I sleep.
Every night I have the same recurring dream There you are dressed so fine standing next to me Just you and me in a church of old standing hand in hand.
And a choir sings Ave Maria I look into your eyes, they say a million things Cathedral bells they start to ring And you are mine, yes you are mine You are mine.
Forever and ever (heart and soul) Forever and ever (heart and soul) Forever and ever (heart and soul).
You promised me with just a kiss in a slow embrace You promised me like I promise you : 'Stand by me I'll stand by you' I wanna hold you close, say soft and low that you're all I need.
And a choir sings Ave Maria I look into your eyes, they say a million things Cathedral bells they start to ring And you are mine, yes you are mine You are mine.
Forever and ever, heart and soul Forever and ever, heart and soul Forever and ever, heart and soul.
If I only kissed you once And never really possessed your love I shurely would go mad And when a mad man roams the street A sad sight for his friends to see He's a broken man from his broken dreams.
Every night I have the same recurring dream There you are dressed so fine standing next to me. Just you and me in a church of old standing hand in hand.
And a choir sings Ave Maria I look into your eyes, they say a million things Cathedral bells they start to ring And you are mine, yes you are mine, yes you are mine.
Forever and ever, heart and soul Forever and ever, heart and soul Forever and ever, heart and soul. Forever and ever (heart and soul).
