I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
Love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
When my money's all gone I'm on the telephone
Singin' hey hey mama can your daddy come home
Well now I go wild and dangerously but I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
That's when I can to see the lights of town
I'm a honky tonk man...
[ ac.guitar ]
I'm a honky tonk man...
Hey now a purty little gal and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind
With the jukebox a moanin' honky tonk sound
That's when I can to lay my money down
Cause I'm a honky tonk man...
I'm a honky tonk man...

Guitars Cadillacs
Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep
You showed me how this town can shatter dreams
Another lesson about a naive fool that came to Babylon
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet
Chorus:
Now it's guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
And lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
There ain't no glamor in this tinseled land of lost and wasted lives
And painful scars are all that's left of me
But thank you girl for teaching me brand new ways to be cruel
And if I can find my mind now, I guess I'll just leave
Chorus:
And it's guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
And lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
You showed me how this town can shatter dreams
Another lesson about a naive fool that came to Babylon
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet
Chorus:
Now it's guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
And lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
There ain't no glamor in this tinseled land of lost and wasted lives
And painful scars are all that's left of me
But thank you girl for teaching me brand new ways to be cruel
And if I can find my mind now, I guess I'll just leave
Chorus:
And it's guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
And lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on

Little Ways
You've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
You've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
To look at you and me, no one would ever know
The pain that I've endured 'cause I won't let it show
My friends would laugh out loud if they only knew
The truth about how I am just your lovesick fool
'Cause you've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
And you've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
The sadness in my eyes should somehow be a clue
But no one here would ever suspect sweet little you
There've been rumors of the truth but I've kept it quiet
'Cause I'm too ashamed to let them know you make me cry
And you've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
You've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
Yeah, your little ways can knock me to the ground
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
You've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
To look at you and me, no one would ever know
The pain that I've endured 'cause I won't let it show
My friends would laugh out loud if they only knew
The truth about how I am just your lovesick fool
'Cause you've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
And you've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
The sadness in my eyes should somehow be a clue
But no one here would ever suspect sweet little you
There've been rumors of the truth but I've kept it quiet
'Cause I'm too ashamed to let them know you make me cry
And you've got your little ways to hurt me
You know just how to tear me up
And leave me in small pieces on the ground
You've got your little ways to hurt me
They're not too big but they're real tough
Just one cold look from you can knock me down
Yeah, your little ways can knock me to the ground

Please Please Baby
Please, please baby, baby come back home
I's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back I promise I'll be good
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should
I's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back I promise I'll be good
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should
I laughed when you packed your bags and told me goodbye
I hollered "I don't need you", oh, but honey that's a lie
Please, please baby, baby come back home
It's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back, I promise I'll be good
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should
If you don't come home dear, I know I'll go insane
Sweetheart, I plead guilty, darlin' I take all the blame
Please, please baby, baby come back home
It's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back, I promise I'll be good
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should
Please, please, please baby, come back home
It's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back, I promise I'll be good
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should

Streets of Bakersfield
I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, I'm not tryin' to be nobody
I just wanna chance to be myself
I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin'
Yes, I've worn blisters on my heels
Trying to find me something better
Here on the streets of Bakersfield
Hey, you don't know me, but you don't like me
Say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judged me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
Spent some time in San Francisco
I spent a night there in the can
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell
I took fifteen dollars from that man
Left him my watch and my old house key
Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as I was leaving
And I headed out for Bakersfield
Hey, you don't know me, but you don't like me
Say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judged me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
Hey, you don't know me, but you don't like me
Say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judged me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
How many of you that sit and judged me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, I'm not tryin' to be nobody
I just wanna chance to be myself
I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin'
Yes, I've worn blisters on my heels
Trying to find me something better
Here on the streets of Bakersfield
Hey, you don't know me, but you don't like me
Say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judged me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

I Sang Dixie
I sang 'Dixie' as he died
The people just walked on by as I cried
The bottle had robbed him, all his rebel pride
So I sang 'Dixie' as he died
He said, "Way down yonder in the land of cotton
Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are
On this damned old L.A. street"
Then he drew a dying breath
Laid his head against my chest
Please Lord, take his soul back home to Dixie
I sang 'Dixie' as he died
People just walked on by, as I cried
The bottle had robbed him, all his rebel pride
So I sang 'Dixie' as he died
He said, "Listen to me, son, while you still can
Run back home to that Southern land
Don't you see what life here has done to me?"
Then he closed those old blue eyes
And fell limp against my side
No more pain, and now he's safe back home in Dixie
I sang 'Dixie' as he died
People just walked on by, as I cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
So I sang 'Dixie' as he died
I sang 'Dixie' as he died
The people just walked on by as I cried
The bottle had robbed him, all his rebel pride
So I sang 'Dixie' as he died
He said, "Way down yonder in the land of cotton
Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are
On this damned old L.A. street"
Then he drew a dying breath
Laid his head against my chest
Please Lord, take his soul back home to Dixie
I sang 'Dixie' as he died
People just walked on by, as I cried
The bottle had robbed him, all his rebel pride
So I sang 'Dixie' as he died
He said, "Listen to me, son, while you still can
Run back home to that Southern land
Don't you see what life here has done to me?"
Then he closed those old blue eyes
And fell limp against my side
No more pain, and now he's safe back home in Dixie

So I sang 'Dixie' as he died

Long White Cadillac
Night wolves moan
Winter hills are black
I'm all alone
Sitting in the back
Of a long white Cadillac
Train whistle cries
Lost on its own track
I close my eyes
Sitting in the back
Of a long white Cadillac
Sometimes I blame it on a woman
The one that made my poor heart bleed
Sometimes I blame it on the money
Sometimes I blame it all on me
Headlights shine
Highway fades to black
It's my last ride
Sitting in the back
Of a long white Cadillac
Sometimes I blame it on a woman
The one that made my poor heart bleed
Sometimes I blame it on the money
Sometimes I blame it all on me
Train whistle cries
Lost on its own track
I close my eyes
I ain't never coming back
In a long white Cadillac
In a long white Cadillac
In a long white Cadillac
In a long white Cadillac
In a long white Cadillac
Ah, bye bye baby...
I'm gonna take this white trash on down the road
Psychodelic
Winter hills are black
I'm all alone
Sitting in the back
Of a long white Cadillac
Train whistle cries
Lost on its own track
I close my eyes
Sitting in the back
Of a long white Cadillac
Sometimes I blame it on a woman
The one that made my poor heart bleed
Sometimes I blame it on the money
Sometimes I blame it all on me
Headlights shine
Highway fades to black
It's my last ride
Sitting in the back
Of a long white Cadillac
Sometimes I blame it on a woman
The one that made my poor heart bleed
Sometimes I blame it on the money
Sometimes I blame it all on me
Train whistle cries
Lost on its own track
I close my eyes
I ain't never coming back
In a long white Cadillac
In a long white Cadillac
In a long white Cadillac
In a long white Cadillac
In a long white Cadillac
Ah, bye bye baby...
I'm gonna take this white trash on down the road

Turn It On Turn It Up Turn Me Loose
Well, I'm back again for another night,
Of trying to break free from this sadness that I can't lay to rest.
This old honky-tonk sure does feel like home,
And the music with the laughter seem to soothe my loneliness.
So turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose,
From the memory that's driving me lonely, crazy and blue.
It helps me forget her, so the louder the better:
Hey mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose.
If a tear should fall, if I should whisper her name,
To some stranger I'm holdin' while we're dancin' to an old Buck Owens song.
I know she won't mind, she won't even know.
She'll be dancing with a memory, crying teardrops of her own.
So turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose,
From the memory that's driving me lonely, crazy and blue.
It helps me forget her, so the louder the better:
Hey mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose.
So turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose,
From the memory that's driving me lonely, crazy and blue.
It helps me forget her, so the louder the better:
Hey mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose.
Yeah, mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose.
Of trying to break free from this sadness that I can't lay to rest.
This old honky-tonk sure does feel like home,
And the music with the laughter seem to soothe my loneliness.
So turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose,
From the memory that's driving me lonely, crazy and blue.
It helps me forget her, so the louder the better:
Hey mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose.
If a tear should fall, if I should whisper her name,
To some stranger I'm holdin' while we're dancin' to an old Buck Owens song.

So turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose,
From the memory that's driving me lonely, crazy and blue.

Hey mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose.
So turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose,
From the memory that's driving me lonely, crazy and blue.

Hey mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose.
Yeah, mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose.

Youre the One
You're the one, you're the one that made me cry
You're the one that laughted at me then said goodbye
You're the one, you're the one that made me blue
So how's it feel now that you're the one its happened to
Now you're back calling me with open arms
What happened to the one you met with all that charm
You say he's gone and you're alone, well that's a shame
But if you think real hard, I know you'll see
Just who's to blame
You're the one, you're the one that made me cry
You're the one that laughted at me then said goodbye
You're the one, you're the one that made me blue
So how's it feel now that you're the one its happened to
You're begging me to think about the love we shared
Yet it seems to me not too long ago, you didn't care
The love you left no longer lives within my heart
See the game you played, so recklessly, tore it apart
You're the one, you're the one that made me cry
You're the one that laughted at me then said goodbye
You're the one, you're the one that made me blue
So how's it feel now that you're the one its happened to
So tell me how's it feel, now that you're the one
How's it feel, to be the one
How's it feel, now that you're the one its happened to
You're the one that laughted at me then said goodbye
You're the one, you're the one that made me blue
So how's it feel now that you're the one its happened to
Now you're back calling me with open arms
What happened to the one you met with all that charm
You say he's gone and you're alone, well that's a shame
But if you think real hard, I know you'll see
Just who's to blame
You're the one, you're the one that made me cry
You're the one that laughted at me then said goodbye
You're the one, you're the one that made me blue
So how's it feel now that you're the one its happened to
You're begging me to think about the love we shared
Yet it seems to me not too long ago, you didn't care
The love you left no longer lives within my heart

You're the one, you're the one that made me cry
You're the one that laughted at me then said goodbye
You're the one, you're the one that made me blue
So how's it feel now that you're the one its happened to
So tell me how's it feel, now that you're the one
How's it feel, to be the one
How's it feel, now that you're the one its happened to

Suspicious Minds
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, Baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I'm saying?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
Can't you see these tears are real
I'm crying
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds...
Oh, let our love survive
I'll dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
Honey, you know
I've never lied to you
No-o, Never lied to you
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, Baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I'm saying?
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, Baby
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, Baby
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, Baby...
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, Baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I'm saying?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
Can't you see these tears are real
I'm crying
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds...
Oh, let our love survive
I'll dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
Honey, you know

No-o, Never lied to you
We're caught in a trap

When you don't believe a word I'm saying?

I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, Baby
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, Baby...

It Only Hurts When I Cry
Chorus:
The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
And it only hurts me when I cry
You couldn't tell it by this smile
But my recovery took awhile
I worked for days and nights on end
Just to walk and talk again
You can't believe the time it takes
To heal a heart once it breaks
Chorus:
Oh maybe every now and then
I have a small heartache again
You wouldn't know to look at me
There's tiny scars that you can't see
It was a struggle to survive
I'm probably lucky I'm alive
Chorus:
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
And it only hurts me when I cry
The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
And it only hurts me when I cry
You couldn't tell it by this smile
But my recovery took awhile
I worked for days and nights on end
Just to walk and talk again
You can't believe the time it takes
To heal a heart once it breaks
Chorus:
Oh maybe every now and then
I have a small heartache again
You wouldn't know to look at me
There's tiny scars that you can't see

I'm probably lucky I'm alive

Aint That Lonely Yet
You keep calling me on the telephone
You say you're all alone
Well that's real sad
And you keep leavin'
Notes stuck on my door
Guess you're hungry for some more
Girl that's too bad
'Cause I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
I ain't that lonely yet
Once there was this spider in my bed
I got caught up in her web
Of love and lies
She spun her chains around my heart and soul
Never to let go
Oh but I survived
'Cause I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
I ain't that lonely yet
There's nothing left that you can do
To try and bring me 'round
'Cause everything you do
Just brings me down
'Cause I ain't that lonely yet
No I ain't that lonely yet
After what you put me through
I ain't that lonely yet

And there's no place I want to be
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
I've got bruises on my memory
I've got tear stains on my hands
And in the mirror there's a vision
Of what used to be a man
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be
Oh, I
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
I'm a thousand
I'm a thousand

Fast as You
Maybe someday I'll be strong.
Maybe it won't be long.
I'll be the one who's tough.
You'll be the one who's got it rough,
It won't be long and maybe I'll be real strong.
Maybe I'll do things right.
Maybe I'll start tonight.
You'll learn to cry like me.
Baby, let's just wait and see.
Maybe I'll start tonight and do things right.
You'll control me,
Oh so boldly.
Rule me 'til I'm free.
'Til the pain that shakes me,
Finally makes me,
Get up off of my knees.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe I'll be fast as you.
Maybe I'll break hearts too.
But, I think that you'll slow down.
When your turn to hurt comes around.
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you.
Uh.
You'll control me,
Oh so boldly.
Rule me 'til I'm free.
'Til the pain that shakes me,
Finally makes me,
Get up off of my knees.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe I'll be fast as you.
Maybe I'll break hearts too.
But, I think that you'll slow down.
When your turn to hurt comes around.
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you.
Ahh.....
You'll control me,
Oh so boldly.
Rule me 'til I'm free.
'Til the pain that shakes me,
Finally makes me,
Get up off of my knees.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe I'll be fast as you.
Maybe I'll break hearts too.
But, I think that you'll slow down.
When your turn to hurt comes around.
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you.
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you.
Ah, So good.
Yeah, maybe I'll be fast as you.
Maybe I'll break hearts too.
Maybe it won't be long.

Crazy Little Thing Called Love
This thing called love
I just cant handle it
This thing called love
I must get round to it
I aint ready
Crazy little thing called love
This thing (this thing) called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby) in a cradle all night
It swings, it jives
It shakes all over like a jellyfish
I kinda like it
Crazy little think called love
There goes my baby
She knows how to rock and roll
She drives me crazy
She give me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool, cool sweat
I gotta be cool, relax
Get hip, get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch--hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until Im ready
Crazy little thing called love
I gotta be cool, relax
Get hip, get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch--hike
Take a little long ride on my motor bike

Things Change
She said, baby things change
I said, but I feel the same
She said, well let me explain
Baby, how things can change
I said, but that doesn't show
How a love that could grow
Would become so estranged
she said, well baby, things change
She said, na, na, na, na, na, now, now, baby, don't try
To figure this out, or ask questions 'bout why
Forever's a promise no love can survive
And trust with hearts just don't apply
She said, 'cause baby, things change
Na, na, na, na, na, now, now, so baby, I quite tryin'
To figure things out about all your heart's lyin'
Forever's a promise we couldn't survive
Hey, I may be slow, but I ain't blind
She said, I still love you so
I said, I don't care to know
She said, you once cried my name
I said, well baby, things change
And let's don't go placing no blame
'Cause you know things can change
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
She said, you once cried my name
I said, well baby, things change
I said, but I feel the same
She said, well let me explain
Baby, how things can change
I said, but that doesn't show
How a love that could grow
Would become so estranged
she said, well baby, things change
She said, na, na, na, na, na, now, now, baby, don't try
To figure this out, or ask questions 'bout why

The Late Great Golden State
In the late great golden state
It's getting hard to negotiate
When you're one slip
From a grim fate
In the late great golden state
In the late great golden state
I don't do much
But I'm always late
I ain't old, I'm just out of date
In the late great golden state
I caught one last glimpse
Of a palomino
When I drove out west
To see the purple sage
Then as canyons burned
And the mountains crumbled
The last cowboy band
Left the stage
I ain't old, I'm just out of date
In the late great golden state
--- Instrumental ---
I caught one last glimpse
Of a palomino
When I drove out west
To see the purple sage
Then as the canyons burned
And the mountains crumbled
The last cowboy band
Left the stage
Yeah, the late great golden state
Is a nice place for a clean slate
But leave your expectations
At the gate
Of the late great golden state
'Cause they can pack you up
And send you home in a crate
Stamped the late great
Golden state...
It's getting hard to negotiate
When you're one slip
From a grim fate
In the late great golden state
In the late great golden state
I don't do much
But I'm always late
I ain't old, I'm just out of date
In the late great golden state
I caught one last glimpse
Of a palomino
When I drove out west
To see the purple sage
Then as canyons burned
And the mountains crumbled
The last cowboy band
Left the stage
I ain't old, I'm just out of date
In the late great golden state
--- Instrumental ---
I caught one last glimpse
Of a palomino
When I drove out west
To see the purple sage
Then as the canyons burned
And the mountains crumbled
The last cowboy band
Left the stage
Yeah, the late great golden state
Is a nice place for a clean slate
But leave your expectations
At the gate
Of the late great golden state
'Cause they can pack you up
And send you home in a crate
Stamped the late great
Golden state...

The Back Of Your Hand
When you give it up for gone,
but your still digging in the mire
And your staring out the window
saying everything will be just fine,
Keepin with whole affair
every word seems out of line
No matter what angle you get
its polished till it shines
(chorus)
Take a guess where I stand
pick a number one or two
Take a look at the back of your hand
just like you know it
you know me too.
And when you say who the hell am I living with,
What just went down
Where did this come from
Why are all my colors faded brown?
When did it change
And what's with the rage?
Who's the dude with the extra roll,
What's the verse, the line, the chapter, the page?
(chorus)
Take a guess where I stand
pick a number one or two
Take a look at the back of your hand
just like you know it
you know me too
You think you're alone without any place left to go
like you need one of those kisses long and slow
At fist glance it's not what it seems
but there's some things I just know,
Like you take two sugars with a splash of cream
you take a guess
Where I stand oh pick a number one or two
then take a look at the
back of your hand
just like you know it
you know me too
yeah like you know it
you know me too
just like you know it
you know me too
but your still digging in the mire
And your staring out the window
saying everything will be just fine,
Keepin with whole affair
every word seems out of line
No matter what angle you get
its polished till it shines
(chorus)
Take a guess where I stand
pick a number one or two
Take a look at the back of your hand
just like you know it
you know me too.
And when you say who the hell am I living with,
What just went down
Where did this come from
Why are all my colors faded brown?
When did it change
And what's with the rage?
Who's the dude with the extra roll,
What's the verse, the line, the chapter, the page?
(chorus)
Take a guess where I stand
pick a number one or two
Take a look at the back of your hand
just like you know it
you know me too
You think you're alone without any place left to go
like you need one of those kisses long and slow
At fist glance it's not what it seems
but there's some things I just know,
Like you take two sugars with a splash of cream
you take a guess
Where I stand oh pick a number one or two
then take a look at the
back of your hand
just like you know it
you know me too
yeah like you know it
you know me too
just like you know it
you know me too
