2. In These Shoes
Gentlemen, gentlemen please! Senors, por favor!
I once met a man with a sense of adventure.
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went.
He said, Let's make love on a mountaintop,
under the stars on a big hard rock.
I said, In these shoes? What is this, the Peace Corps?
I said, Honey, let's do it here.
So we're sittin' at a bar in Guadalajara,
in walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes.
He says, I've got a powerful horse outside.
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride.
I know a little place we can get before the break of day.
I said, In these shoes? No way, Jose!
I said, Honey, let's stay right here.
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
?Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!
Then I met an Englishman.
Oh, he said, Are you American?
Won't you walk up and down on my spine?
It makes me feel strangely alive.
I said, In these shoes? Oh, I doubt you'd survive.
I said, Honey . . . let's do it . . . hehehehe
Let's stay right here.
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
?Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
?Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
?Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
?Como se puede bailar?
5. Love TKO
Oooooh
Oooooh
Lookin' back over my years
I guess I've shed some tears.
Told myself time and again
this time I'm gonna win.
But another fight. Things ain't right.
I'm losing again.
It takes a fool to lose twice
and start all over again.
I think I better let him go.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Let it go, baby.
I think I better let him go.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO. Ohh, yeah.
I tried to take control of the love.
He took control of me.
See you lose all thought and sense of time.
You have a change of mind.
Takin' the bumps and the bruises
and all the pain of a two-time lose.
And I try to hold on. My faith is gone.
It's just another sad song.
So I think I gotta
gotta let it go
I gotta let him go.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Oh, yes it does, yes it does.
I think I gotta
gotta let it go
Mmmmmmm.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Boy, whatcha want me to do? Can't stand up to you.
No no no no.
I try to take control of the love.
It took control of me.
See you lose all thought and sense of time.
You have a change of mind.
Taking the bumps and the bruises
and all the pain of a two-time lose.
Then I try to hold on. My faith is gone.
It's just another sad song.
I think I better
better let it go
I better let him go.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Yeah, I better
better let it go
I gotta let him go.
let it go, Miss M.
Another love, love TKO.
Ooohhhh, boy you got me turned around and around and around.
Around and around.
Everybody's got to cry sometime.
That's what they say. I heard them say.
Everybody's gonna cry sometime.
Mama says that they did, that they did.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii . . .
6. Moses
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
to cross this sea of lonliness,
part this red river of pain.
I don't necessarily buy
any key to the future or hapiness
but I need a little place in the sun sometimes
or I think I'll die.
And everywhere is somewhere but nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
But I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here
with an empty apartment and a best friend who is queer. Heh.
Every time I see him he smiles
and tells me how well he's walking these miles.
But he never ever asks a single thing about me.
If I died he'd hear about it eventually.
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
to cross this sea of lonliness,
part this red river of pain. Ohhh.
'Cause everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
And I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here
with my bills in the mailbox and some checks that won't clear this year.
Everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
So I'm just a tragic figure in the corner over here
who'll sleep it off 'til morning and still not know that we're,
we're all just diamonds and roses. I need Moses
to cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.

Ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly, ly ly ly, ly ly ly.
Ly ly ly, ly ly ly, ly ly ly . . .
7. Nobody Else But You
Who loves me even though I'm crazy
and nothing that I say is true?
Who won my heart and soul forever?
It's nobody else but,
nobody else but . . .
Each time I feel I'm out to pasture
who always makes me feel brand new?
I'm pledging my allegiance baby
to nobody else but,
nobody else but . . .
Look at me, laughing out loud,
trying to remember all the jokes that you taught me.
When you see the light in my eyes,
it's only a reflection of the joy that you brought me.
How did I get to be so happy?
I've wondered that my whole life through, yeah.
I thank my lucky stars for sending me
nobody else but, nobody else but,
nobody else but you.
La, la, la, la, you, yeah.
La, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la.
Look at me, laughing out loud,
trying to remember all the jokes that you taught me.
When you see the love in my eyes,
it's only a reflection of the joy that you brought me.
I always knew I had an angel,
a voice that told me what to do, yeah.
But now that angel's on my shoulder.
It's nobody else but, nobody else but,
nobody else but you.
La, la, la, la, you, yeah.
La, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, woah.
La, la, la, la,

10. When Your Life Was Low
Always remember my friend,
the world will change again.
And you may have to come back
through everywhere you've been.
When your life was low,
you had nowhere to go.
People turned their backs on you,
and everybody said that you were through.
I took you in, made you strong again
put you back together.
Out of all the dreams you left along the way,
you left me shining.
Now you're doing well
from stories I hear tell.
You own the world again.
Everyone's your friend.
Although I never hear from you,
still it's nice to know
you used to love me so,
when your life was low.
