LYRICS 

Absolutely Baby

You ask me if my love is true

What I'm gonna do is prove it to you

Absolutely baby, you know I'll do it for you
 

Would I stop smoking and drinking and cussing

And change all those habits that you find disgusting

Absolutely baby
 

Would I hold your bags while you shop for clothes

Would I learn to dance without crushing your toes

Absolutely baby
 

Would I tell the truth babe you know I would

Would I tell a lie if it made you feel good

Absolutely baby
 

I would do anything baby can't you see

Because of all the good things that you do for me

Absolutely baby

Leave Your Dog

I know that you're leaving

I know our love is dying

But we've been so close baby

I can't keep from crying

So before you cross that line

Let me ask you one last time

Baby would you please leave your dog
 

We used to spend our time together

Making love every night

Nothing could come between us

Nothing could make us fight

Then we started acting crazy

We made a yelling screaming mess

Now you're packing your belongings

I only have one request
 

I don't want your money

You know I'm not a mooch

But I'll be lonely when you leave me

So baby would you leave your pooch
 

I never had a pet of any kind

Till you moved in with me

When you were away on business

She kept me company

She kept me warm in the morning

She kept me running all day

I can't believe you're leaving me

And taking your dog away
 

I don't want the beach house

I can't keep it up

But I'll be lonely when you leave me

So baby would you leave your pup
 

You know I'm gonna miss you darling

Curling up next to me

But we can't go on bitching

Fighting endlessly

We really tried to make it baby

I'm sorry that we failed

Somehow I think we could have worked it out

If you had four legs and a tail
 

I don't want half your assets

I won't be a hog

But I'll be lonely when you leave me

So baby would you leave your dog

Can't Sit Still

Believe it or not I was a quiet man

Stayed home alone with my head in the sand

Very calm very shy

Till you came along and opened my eyes
 

Now I can't sit still

Can't keep sleeping

Can't hide away since the day that I met you
 

You came up to me with that look in your eye

You made me laugh until I cried

And I knew that I loved you

When you showed me how to do the do
Now I can't sit still...
 

Now the older I get the younger I feel

Got my foot on the floor and my hands on the wheel

When we're old and gray gonna make them stare

When we jump right out of those rocking chairs

Can't sit still

Can't keep sleeping

Can't hide away since the day that I met you

I'm no wallflower since the hour I met you

I jumped right in it the minute I met you

What You Got

Tumbleweed played guitar on the street

He drew a big crowd every night

He said I really can't sing and I really can't play

But I know what the people like
 

I think it's true

So I'm telling you

You got to use what you got

What've you got to lose, just take a shot

You got to use what you got
 

Mister Flowers worked in the warehouse

He weighed about one-thirty-one

But he could move a quarter-ton with a hand-truck

He said "I do it the easy way, son"
 

You don't have to have a rich family

If you know how to make a buck

You don't have to know all the answers

If you know where to look them up
 

The Bible says you get ten talents

I think I got maybe two

But baby take note - I 'm gonna use them both

To try to do my best for you

Moonlight Cruise

Lost in the lights of town, we're two in a million

Down by the city pier in a crowded pavilion

There's a sign on the dock, a two-hour sail from the harbor

Let's get away and go on a moonlight cruise
 

Moonlight cruise on a summer night

The water's calm and the stars are bright

Moonlight cruise leave your day behind

Take an hour to clear your mind

Though it's only across the bay

We'll pretend that we're far away

Don't say no, baby let's just go on a moonlight cruise
 

Two and a half miles out, the skyline is fading

Leaving a golden glow,  it looks like a painting

The buildings and boats are lit up along the horizon

We might stay out all night on the moonlight cruise

Bonnie on a Bike

Bonnie on a bike she's nice and natural

She's got a smile that's smart and true

Bonnie on a bike she's light and likable

She's got something for you
 

She said

When I fly nobody fights with me

When I sail nobody sees

When I ride it's for the right reason

I didn't ask to be free
 

Bonnie on a bike can cover lots of ground

Finding lonely hearts and hungry heads

Bonnie on a bike got lots of customers

Everybody gets fed
 

She said

When I fly nobody fights with me

When I sail nobody sees

When I ride its for the right reasons

I didn't ask to be free
 

Bonnie on a bike don't think it's easy now

Everybody needs to make ends meet

Bonnie on a bike it makes you queasy when

You got nothing to eat
 

She said

When I fly nobody fights with me

When I sail nobody sees

When I ride it's for the right reasons

I didn't ask to be free
 

From the high-rise suite

To the pushcart in the street

There's a price to stay alive

Everybody's selling something

To survive
 

Bonnie on the beach A change of scenery

Working on a tan that's tight and smooth

Bonnie on the beach Umbrellas fifty cents

She's got something for you

Luray Day

Sneaky summer sun is peaking through the blinds

Checking our her bathing suit lines

We're under the fan where breezes play

On this lazy Luray day
 

I'm counting all her freckles and as I do

Her upper lip is glistening with a heavy dew

Soft skin, sweet as the smell of new mown hay

On this lazy Luray day
 

Honeysuckles wilting

Cicadas song is lilting

The weather's right for making love and lemonade

Blue bottle flies are creeping

The dog and cat are sleeping

We run a tub filled up with water and some ice

We got it made
 

I say I hope we never ever get AC

The heat's a good excuse for kicking back you and me

She sighs and fills up another ice cube tray

On this lazy Luray day

Ain't doin' nothin' no way

On this humid hot and hazy lazy Luray Virginia day

By the Water

Tonight let's go to a place I know

Where they're just warming up at the midnight show

It's by the water

When you get your work done you can have a lot of fun

By the water
 

They play the best music that there ever was

It's kind of hard to find but everybody does By the water

If you're not feeling hot they can cure what you got By the water
 

They play it hot and they play it live

If you make some noise they'll keep playing till five By the water

If you're not feeling great you can get rejuvenated By the water
 

When the lights go down in the waterfront town

The party goes all night

The breeze is cool on a back bar stool

The piano is shining in the burning hot spotlight
 

The bartender knows how to be discreet

She won't say who you were with last week It's by the water

If your life is complicated you won't be interrogated by the water
 

The beer is cold and the girls are fine

There's no dress code and no closing time By the water

You can do what you do ain't nobody watching you By the water

See You Soon

They're rolling up the sidewalks

In some city where I'm staying

I've got movies and cartoons and all-night news

I would try and call you

But I think by now you're sleeping

And the way you work, that's something you could use

We pay our dues
 

I'll see you soon

Sitting with a candle and a cat

In one of our two tiny rooms

It can't be too soon

There's an end in sight

Just three more nights

I'll be there soon
 

I think we got it backwards

You're the one who likes to travel

And I am the reluctant frequent flyer

I can see hear you in a speaker

I can read your instant message

But a thousand miles is still a thousand miles

In just a while
 

I'll see you soon

Sitting with a candle and a cat

In one of our two tiny rooms

It can't be too soon

There's an end in sight

Just one more night

I'll be there soon

There's an end in sight

Leave on a light

I'll be home soon
