aka Sending Out An Invitation

aka You Don't Tell Me







Okay...

Baby, yeah

Lovin', lovin'



Baby...

Oh, I'm sending out invitations

I'm gonna have me a big celebration, ...bration

I'm givin' up everything, awooo

Everything I thought was mine

'Cause if our love is getting stronger

Why drag this thing out much longer

'Cause I'll be ahead

Oh if I could get ahead

And now I'm behind, awooo

You got a way of filling me up

Oh, just to watch me fall down

I'm tired of wastin' my life

The best thing, my life, wastin' my life around

Ohhwoohh



You don't tell me, who to give my body to, oh no

And you, you don't tell me, how to make to love to you,

whoowooo

And you don't tell me...

Oh how to make you feel good

I'll make you feel good all over to your body

Baby, deep and you know it, oh, awooo

Hold on, Yeah...

And you don't tell me baby

How to sing my song, ...ong

And listen to this now...

And you don't have to tell me baby

Oh baby sometimes, you just might sing your song wrong

Yeah...



Oh I'm like a fish, whoo

Put me on the line

But you gotta way, of reeling me in

But you won't, won't spend the time

Yeah

Oh yeah



I'd write a song, about something real funny

If I thought everyone would laugh, ha

I got a song, he's got a song, a whole lotta money

Sing the song, sing the song, right here, right here

If I though it would bring me some cash, I can feel it, awhoo

I got a song about the trip I went on

Even though I never take an airplane baby

Oh you keep me feeling funny

If you could keep on, keep on working it out

Oh..

Yeah you fill me up, ahwoo

Yeah, let me down

I don't feel bad about it...

Oh how I enjoy, joy, joy, feelin' around

Ohh, owwwoo baby yeah



You don't have to tell me baby, what kind of car to drive,

ha...

You know sometimes I... I just want to tell you baby

I don't know sometimes if our love is dead or alive

But I said I ...eehhh

You don't have to tell me...yeah

You, don't...

Ahhoo



I put a gun on the, the way I feel

If I thought, my heart, would run

Oh I think I stick around

Oh I like the way you do me

Sing it, sing it, sing it, havin' fun, sing it, sing it

Ohhhwooo, sing it, sing it, sing it

Yeah, yeah

You, you, you, you



You don't tell me, but you always do

Oh, don't try to tell me

Who to give my, give my, love to

To give my love to, give my love to

Give my love to, give my love to



You know sometimes it brings about the situation, can I

As long as I can do things and not to go away, can I

Oh a in year ...I send an invitation

Loving, loving, relation



Exclusive

Love you baby, love you baby

Sometimes we start

Start lon-ger again

Sing it now

We got to stick together, alright

If your gonna try, if your gonna try, if your gonna try, to win

Love you baby

Do you want to win baby?

Whooowhooo



You...don't...have...to...

Oh it feels so good I can't talk right now baby

And I wanna...

You make stutter when I touch, when I touch, when I touch,

your sweet body

And then start tremblin', ohhmow...haa

I'm gonna fade out of you life, baby, I'm gonna

fade-out-of-your-life

I'm gonna fade out of your life, I'm gonna fade out of your

life

I'm gonna fade out of your life (fade)



Baby... Oh, I'm sending, out invitations

I'm gonna have me a big celebration, celebration

'Cause I'm giving-up on everything

Everything, I thought was mine

Now if your love is gettin' much stronger

I'm sending invitations

Why drag it out much longer?

I'm still gonna send an invitation

'Cause I'll be ahead

I'd be ahead

I'm still gonna send an invitation

If I could quit, quit while I'm behind

Cel-ebra-tion

You got a way of, filling me up, ahhwoo

Enjoy watching me fall down

And I made up my mind this morning

He made up his mind

That I decide, I decide, I decide to stick around, Whooo

Ahhwooo, Ahhwooo



You know...



Ohhwoo You know what?

Seems like to me, whoa

Seems like to me, we got a good thing, yeah

Seems like to me, that we can sit down and talk

Weeeeheeee



Oh I, I'd write a song, about something real funny

If I thought Don Curly would laugh

I got a song, about a whole lotta money

Oh, if I though it would bring me some cash, I need a whole

lotta money

How long have I been trying to cross over?

I'm not gonna be a thing in the past

I'm already over

Whoohhhwaaaa



Let's harmonize off, awhoo

Whooooooo

Life is short that's for sure

Whooooooo

Oh the little things that you do

Whoooooo

And that's all you have is only one

Let it be lost, let it be lost, let it be lost

Oh, love is gone, yeah, yeah



I'm sending an invitation

Celebration, yeah



Now bring it down real easy...

Oh I'm, I'm sending, out invitations, I love it, love it, love it,

love it

I'm gonna have me a big celebration, sing it, sing it, sing it

I'm givin' up on everything

Everything I thought was mine

But if your love again is longer

Why drag this thing out much longer?

Yeah I'll be ahead

If I could bring what I...

You build me up just to let me down

Let me down

You seem to love seeing me falling down

Well what goes up

All the time, all the time, is gonna come down

Ohh, ohhh ehhhhyeah



Ohh I put a gun on the way I feel

If I thought my heart would run

In a million years

If I can have anymore fun

You gotta go through it

I'm gonna get to me

Al-ways

Are we all gonna do it?



It's starting to becoming a scuffle...
