Mama's Fool (Tesla)

MAMA’S FOOL (Keith, Hannon)

Out on the road, and a long long way from home

Why must I be so, must I be so misunderstood

While my intentions, my intentions all are good

Wish only one time that things would turn out like they should

Just like they should

Too many times, too many times payin’ the price, just for the thrill

Too many hearts, too many times, overkill

So many times, double around, how many faces do reveal

How many folks gettin’ to be over the hill

She always told me things, like those weren’t made of sugar and spice

She always scolded me, "Don’t let the same dog bit you twice"

Well I, Lord I’ve just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool

Mama I ain’t no fool - I’ve just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool

Mama I ain’t no fool - well I’ve just been fooled again

Too many lies, shame on the wives, too many cakes and eat it too

Too many hearts goin’ straight down the tube

Hell of a dude, did it but don’t have the time and the words for use

Too many rounds, too many times, overuse

She’s always telling me, "Just take your time, always think twice"

Forever scolding me, "Don’t let the same dog bit you twice"

Well I, hell I’ve just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool

Mama I ain’t no fool - I’ve just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - she did not raise a fool

Mama I ain’t no fool

Oh, let me tell you if it happens again like it did next time

Somebody’s gonna have to walk the line, walk the line!

(Solo)

She’s always telling me, "Take my advice boy and just think twice"

Forever scolding me, "Don’t let the same dog bit you twice"

Well I, Lord I won’t be fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool

Mama I ain’t no fool - I’ve just been fooled again

Mama she ain’t no fool - I may be crazy but I ain’t no fool

Mama you crazy fool - may be crazy but I ain’t no fool

Crazy but I ain’t no fool, may be crazy, I may be crazy

Crazy but I ain’t no fool

Out in the cold, and a long long way from home

Action Talks (Tesla)

ACTION TALKS (Keith, Skeoch)

Hey, what’s the deal man, don’t it feel like something’s goin’ on

What’s goin’ down what’s goin’ around, and I’m gonna get some

What’s this I see, a familiar face, and it’s coming my way

I said I don’t know who it is, it might be you and this just might be my day

Action talks - now action talks and bullshit walks

Action talks - you got something to say

Action talks - start talking, or get your walking

Action talks - start making your move on me-yeah-yeah

Sure was not nice, but wasn’t going right, forget the consequences

Let’s work it out instead of workin’ out

We’ll work it over till we get it right

What’s this I need, now what’s this I like, it came, you sent it my way

Till I realized all the innocent lies, it was gonna take my heart outta me

Action talks - now action talks and bullshit walks

Action talks - we got something to say

Action talks - nobody talkin’, ain’t no one walkin’

Action talks - no use in puttin’ the blame on yesterday

(Solo)

So here’s the deal, it looks like it feels, they got it goin’ on

They know it’s going down what’s going around, while we’re waiting, how come

So the queen don’t get to lose the president

Don’t hear a word they say (fuck you!)

They come together as one and maybe get the job done

Instead of blaming yesterday

Action talks - action talks and bullshit walks

Action talks - you got something to say

Action talks - no use in cryin’, no use in runnin’

Action talks - no use in puttin’ the blame on yesterday

Action talks - no blamin’ yesterday, say what you mean

Say what you mean (oh talk to me, talk, talk)

Say what you mean (just talk to me), say what you mean

Start talkin’, start talkin’, start talkin’

Say what you mean, you got a lot to say, you got a lot to say

Say what you mean, nobody’s stoppin’ you, nobody’s stoppin’ you

So tell me, what the fuck don’t you say

Need Your Lovin' (Tesla)

NEED YOUR LOVIN’ (Keith, Luccketta, Skeoch)

I’ll be lovin’ you come morning, day to day, dust to dawn

Feelin’ you’re the reason I won’t be leavin’ so

Love you in the evening, supper time and afternoon

Your days of happiness beside the month of June

Ooh, don’t want my yesterday, to wake me up, slap me in the face

Ooh, don’t let my yesterday, wrap you up and carry you away

Ooh I need your lovin’, without you baby love don’t mean nothing

Oooh I need your lovin’, ‘s got to be your lovin’ or nothing

January, and in March, February, June

Any day beside of that couldn’t be too soon

My life without you babe is a heart that’s torn

Season of love for you, storm without a warn

Ooh, didn’t want my yesterday, woke me right up, and slapped me in the face

Ooh, you let my yesterday, wrap you right up and carry you away

Ooh I need your lovin’, without you baby love don’t mean nothing

Oooh I need your lovin’, ‘s got to be your lovin’ or nothing

Took all my yesterdays of sorrow, and threw them all away

Took all that I could take, or could borrow

‘Cos today’s yesterday, today is yesterday’s tomorrow - whoa!

(Solo)

Ooh, go away my yesterday, can’t take that much, I’ll look it in the face

Ooh, wish all my yesterdays, would’ve packed it up and carried it away

Ooh I need your lovin’, ‘cos without you baby love don’t mean nothing

Oooh I need your lovin’, ‘s got to be your lovin’ or nothing - whoa!

Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah, it’s your love or nothing

Ooh, all I’ve got to say it must be your love or nothing

She Want She Want (Tesla)

SHE WANT SHE WANT (Keith, Hannon)

Yeah! Hot damn, shit

She want money, she want car, she want jewelry

Wants it all, still want more, yeah she want everything

What next? Request a cheque? And I said shit man, to pay her credit card

Got nowhere to get, that’s why she won’t be gettin’ far

I guess I got off lucky, I guess I got off cheap

I guess I got too goddamn tall and the hill it got too steep

The way I got to see it is the way it’s got to be

I won’t forget, never will regret, the day that she left me

She want she want - man, she took the best of me

She want she want - don’t stand next to me

She want all, yeah she want all

She want she want - gave you the best of me

She want she want - couldn’t mean less to me

She want all, you bet she want all - she want

Thought I knew what love was for, oh what did I know

Next thing and she was out the door, but I guess that’s much better than

Dead on the floor

I was cruisin’ down the lover’s lane, called and said she cruised the avenue

I guess I got off easy, I guess I got off cheap

I guess I got too goddamn tall and she wasn’t worth the keep

The way I got to see it is the way it’s got to be

I won’t forget, never will regret, the day she chose to leave

She want she want - makes such a mess of things

She want she want - still want everything

She want all, you bet she want all

She want she want - she want anything

She want she want - anything and everything

She want all, what does she want, she want, she want, she want all

(Solo)

What I needed was something new, that’s what I really want

Hot damn, look at her, yeah she look at you, yeah she was really hot

I said, "Baby, you’re everything I want", and she said

"You are everything that I want, too" - so the story goes

I guess I got off lucky, I guess I got off cheap

I guess I got too goddamn tall, wonder what you want of me

The way I got to see it is the way it’s got to be

I won’t forget, never will regret, the day you set me free

She want she want - don’t mean a thing to me

She want she want - now she set me free

She want all, yeah she want all

She want she want - she can’t bring me down

She want she want - don’t let her come around

She want all, what does she want, she want, she want, she want all

(Solo)

Try So Hard (Tesla)

TRY SO HARD (Keith, Wheat)

Oh time, when it goes on and on and on again

Like a drop in the rain, like a snowflake in the sun

Fallin’ out of the sky on everyone

You and me, everybody, everyone, everybody you see

We traveled so long, seemed like forever

Never mattered just as long as we’re together

I’ve traveled alone, you know it gets so, oh, oh no

The next time, and it goes on and on and over again

Like a drop in the rain, like a snowflake in the sun

Fallin’ out of the sky on everyone

You and me, everybody, everyone, everybody you see

You know I’ve said it before

You’re the only one that could make me feel better

I’m lonely, out here on my own

 Chorus:

Try so hard - I try so hard to believe

Try so hard - do you believe in me

Try so hard - you know I try so hard, try some more, feelin’ is believin’

(chorus)

(Solo)

Now I’ve travelled so far, but not forever

Doesn’t matter ‘cos I know we’ll be together

I’m singin’ this song till I see you again

(chorus repeats 2x)

Try so hard - yes seein’ is believin’

Try so hard - but feelin’ is believin’

Try so hard - seein’ is believin’, feelin’ is believin’

Try so hard - again

Try so hard - seein’, seein’ and feelin’ is believin’

Try to hard - yeah, I try so hard, try to believe in you

(Solo)
