Cocktails tore up my family
cocktails tore down my home
One to wake me up every morning
One with a buddy at noon
One for the road every evening
‘Till I found out pretty soon
It took two to wake me up every morning
two with my buddy at noon
Two for the road every evening
‘Till guess what happened pretty soon
Cocktails tore up my family
cocktails tore down my home
I cheated and I lied, swallowed my pride
(and then) washed it down with cocktails
I had a house on a hillside
The car I was driving was new
I had money in my pocket,
But look what liquor made me do.
I started running ‘round with a woman
Turned my back on my wife and my kid.
Wonder how mama's gonna tell him
The awful thing that daddy did.
Cocktails tore up my family
cocktails tore down my home
I cheated and I lied, swallowed my pride
(and then) washed it down with cocktails
Cocktails tore up my family
cocktails tore down my home
cocktails tore down my home
cocktails tore down my home

I Want To Be Mama'd

I want to be mama’d
I want to be mother’d
I want to be hugged
I want to be smothered
With love and kisses all the time
For I’m a big baby
Great big baby
I want my mama
I want my mama
I want to be mama’d all the time
I want some attention
More than I can mention
You do the cooing
I’ll do the wooing
I want to be mama’d all the time
For I’m a big baby
Great big baby
I want my mama
I want my mama
I want to be mama’d all the time
I want to be wanted
I want to be needed
I want to be loved
I want to be treated to love and kisses all the time
For I’m a big baby
Great big baby
I want my mama
I want my mama
I want my mama all the time
I want some lovin
Some turtle-doving
You do the cooing
I’ll do the wooing
I want to be mama’d all the time
For I’m a big baby
Great big baby
I want my mama
I want my mama
I want my mama all the time

By The Law Of My Heart

When the judge said divorce granted
That you both are free to love anew
Oh you walked away
With a smile on your face dear
While I walked away
With a heart broke in two
Oh I know I’ll never be free
From this pain within my heart
For every time I hear your name
Teardrops seem to start
Oh I may be free
By the law of the nation
I’ll never be free
By the law of my heart
Well I wish you happiness
In everything you do
But I’ll always be alone
And so lost without you
Oh I may be free by the law of the nation
I’ll never be free by the law of my heart.

Well the day is bright and sunny
and the fish’ll surely bite
Boys down on the corner
got a poker game tonight
But I can’t do neither one
they’ll have to understand
Gotta bring home the bacon,
cause I’m a family man
Well Johnny needs some brand new shoes
and peggy needs a dress
My wife's knittin' little things
and I don’t have to guess
There'll be another smilin' face
To hold her daddy's hand
Gotta bring home the bacon,
cause I’m a family man
(Interlude)
Well, I'd like to take this shotgun
Blow the alarm clock half in two
All because no tellin'
Oh Buddy, we are through
But I've gotta make some money
Leave those castles in the sand
I gotta bring home the bacon
'Cause I'm a family man
Well I’ve always said
when the kids are grown
I'd really have a ball
But I'll bet the years we're livin' now
Will be the best of all
So thank you Lord, for everything
And united we will stand
I gotta bring home the bacon
'Cause I'm a family man

Burn on Love Fire
01:52
|

Burn burn burn,
Burn on love fire
Burn burn burn burn
Forever like a star
First it was a spark
And then a flame
And that eternal fire
that no man can take
Burn burn burn,
Burn on love fire
Burn burn burn burn
Forever like a star
It burns through the sunshine
And the rain
It’s that eternal fire that no man can take
I don’t think they’d break us apart
Because of the love fire deep in our hearts
But if cold and cool
They choose to remain
They’ll never win for that eternal flame
Burn burn burn,
Burn on love fire
Burn burn burn burn
Forever like a star
First it was a spark
And then a flame
And that eternal fire
that no man can take

Her two little feet would come running into
Our bedroom almost every night
Her soft little face would be wet from her tears
And her little heart pounding with fright
She'd hold out her arms, then she'd climb in beside us
In her small voice, we'd hear her remark
"Mommie and Daddy, can I sleep here with you
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark"
One day in the summer, we took some flowers
To place on some old family graves
Jeannie said, "Mommy, ain't it dark in the ground
Oh, Daddy, I'd be so afraid"
Then she looked up at her daddy and me
And said somethin' that broke both our hearts
She said, "When I die, please don't bury me
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark"
Jeannie was always afraid of the dark
And we never could understand why
'Cause we looked after Jeannie with the very best of care
Because Jeannie was our only child
Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of
'Cause it took her one dark stormy night
I think we always knew that we'd never see Jeannie grown
'Cause it seemed she was destined to die
But on Jeannie's grave, we placed an eternal flame
That glows and never loses its spark
And on the darkest night, there's always a light
'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark
Our Jeannie's afraid of the dark
