Rock My World
My life was simple and
A bit routine,
Joy was something
That was seldom seen.
You came storming
Making my life swirl,
Head first diving just to
Rock my world.
Rock my world,
Shake it all apart,
Just be careful not to
Break my heart.
Days are diamonds
And my nights are pearls,
Just like paradise,
Baby, rock my world.
You’re the queen of hearts
Who breaks the rules, and
I’d be happy
Just to play your fool.
Tell me that you’ll
Always be my girl.
We’ll just keep flying,
Baby, rock my world.
Rock my world,
Shake it all apart,
Just be careful not to
Break my heart.
Days are diamonds
And my nights are pearls,
Just like paradise,
Baby, rock my world.

To Touch Your Heart
There is no easy way
To get it done,
To say convincingly
You’re my only one.
No one to whisper in my ear,
Tell me where to start
To find those simple words
To touch your heart.
I’ve tried a million times
To let you know
Just how my love for you
Continues to grow.
But I can’t find the words
That will truly impart,
Words that spring from my soul
To touch your heart.
Maybe it’s not just the words that I speak
That send the real message your way.
Actions speak louder they say in the end,
And I try to show you every day.
I’ll keep on looking,
Searching my soul,
Maybe buy a dictionary,
Make it my goal
To find the right phrases
Both tender and smart,
The right words
To touch your heart.

Sexy, Sassy, Saucy
You keep making passes, sweeter than molasses, Winking, blinking back at me. Every little motion working like a potion Blocking out reality.Playing with my mind, leaving reason far behind, Lift me ten feet off the ground. Because you’re sexy, sassy, saucy And you make my world go ‘round.
You keep turning heads in that sexy little dress From the minute you walk through the door. But I don’t dare to touch, I’m afraid you’re way too much, You just make me want to cry for more. I’m trying not to grin when I take it on the chin And you ask me if I’m man enough. You’re so sexy, sassy, saucy And I just want to feel your touch.
You weaken my resistance Until I don’t know where it went. I’m so gone on you I swear I would vote for you for president.
There is no mistake how you make my whole world shake With that body that you carry around. Just one look was all it took And I swallowed the whole hook Like a fish flopping out on the ground. It don’t matter what I do, I’m not getting over you. You’re the best thing to come into my world. You’re so sexy, sassy, saucy And I want you to be my girl.

Fish Out of Water
You wanted me to come and meet your family,
To show me off to all your kith and kin,
But I’m not really comfortable with all that touchy feely
That seems so necessary to fit in.
I’m just a simple guy with simple feelings,
The kind of man that some folks just don’t get,
But you want me to flop around, politely mix and mingle
Like a fish out of water caught up in your net.
There’s no easy way to get around it,
Doesn’t matter what I do or say.
My reasoning and protests just confound it.
I’m like a fish out of water
Trying to get away.
My Mamma used to tell me, “Son, just listen
To the sounds of reason drifting in the air.”
The truth is we’re all in this thing together,
And people are just people everywhere.
But I can’t seem to get my mind around it
No matter how hard I crane my neck,
Can’t find a comfort zone
To be out there on my own.
I’m just a fish out of water
Flopping on the deck.

Let’s Get Naked and Run Through the Sprinklers
I’ve wanted to show you so often
Exactly what you mean to me,
But I was afraid of what people would say
If I acted out so obviously.
We’re victims of our inhibitions.
It’s apparent when push comes to shove.
Why don’t we get naked and run through the sprinklers
And show the whole world we’re in love?
You say that I can’t act crazy,
I’m just an old stick in the mud.
Left to myself and my own devices
I’m like an old cow chewing cud.
But I’m tired of misunderstandings.
I’m ready to show the whole world.
I say let’s get naked and run through the sprinklers?
I’m willing to give it a whirl.
Life is too short to sit idly by
While the rest of the world marches on.
There are so many things I want us to try
Before all of the best of our good times are gone.
It’s not so hard to imagine
The kind of unrest we might cause.
Jaws dropping down to their ankles,
Eyes clearly popping in awe.
I’m ready to shed inhibitions
For you and polite company.
Why don’t we get naked and run through the sprinklers
And show the whole world that we’re free.

The Problem Is…
We were so in love in the beginning.
After all this time I feel the same.
I still get that tingling sensation
At the simple mention of your name.
I want us to go on for forever
Hand in hand to walk through every door,
Growing up and growing old together.
The problem is you don’t love me anymore.
Not quite sure exactly when it happened,
When we started drifting so apart.
Was I blind or did I just not listen
To the deafening sound of silence from your heart?
We could try to work it out together.
You know you’re the one that I adore.
My love for you is meant to be forever.
The problem is you don’t love me anymore.
Not content to sing you silly love songs.
They won’t win your heart back anyway.
I just want to find the combination
To make you stay forever, forever and a day.
You could just forget these crazy notions,
I believe that we’re worth fighting for.
I’ll keep wanting you until forever.
The problem is you don’t love me anymore.

Fast Track
I don’t need to buy you diamonds, furs or fast cars,
I don’t need fancy words meant to impress.
You don’t seem to want to talk about forever,
Or picking out that special wedding dress.
And I don’t need to dress in shining armor
To rescue you and make a brand new start.
Only need to find a quick solution
To put me on the fast track to your heart.
I keep hearing angels singing love songs
As flashes of the future come in view.
Can someone please write down some clear directions
To put me on the fast track straight to you.
It’s true we were meant to be together.
I could see it clearly from the day we met.
There’s no doubt we will last forever,
And I can give my heart without regret.
I just don’t know how to say the right things
To convince you that we will never part.
The kind of things that lovers share so freely
To put me on the fast track to your heart.
I keep hearing angels singing love songs
As flashes of the future come in view.
Can someone please write down some clear directions
To put me on the fast track straight to you.

Blank Pages
I’m staring at this mountain of blank pages
Wondering just what I should do.
Maybe I could write a brand new love song
And dedicate my heart and soul to you.
Words should fall right out of the heavens,
Ink should flow onto the empty lines,
But no words I can think of do you justice.
I don’t know what to write to make you mine.
You don’t need to worry ‘bout a love song.
Actions speak much louder anyway.
I may keep on staring at blank pages,
But I’ll show you that I love you every day.
I may not have the gift of gab to tell you,
May not be the man of letters you desire,
Can’t put the words together that will show you
How just the thought of you can start my fire.
I may not have a vast vocabulary,
And I don’t have a muse to stir my soul,
And even though the pages
May not have an ink stain on them
My love for you is made of purest gold.
You don’t need to worry ‘bout a love song.
Actions speak much louder anyway.
I may keep on staring at blank pages,
But I’ll show you that I love you every day.

Spellbound
You’re not a Wiccan but
You’ve surely got me spellbound.
Your wiles and your ways have
Truly put you in control.
The web that you spin
Keeps drawing me in
And I can’t help but believe
That it was your goal.
I’m spellbound down deep in my soul.
The day that we met
You brought me out of the darkness,
Gave me new hope to
Start all over again.
I never knew
A feeling so true
And I can’t help but believe
That it won’t ever end.
I’m spellbound; determined to win.
You came to me fresh as the lilacs in springtime,
Captured my eye, and then you captured my heart.
In less than a moment my will was gone on vacation,
And now I’m sure we’ll never again be apart.
There’ll never be
A way to explain what I’m feeling;
The million and one things
That your love does for me.
A magic untold
Yet to unfold
And we’ll just take hold of our dreams
And dance in the moonlight.
I’m spellbound and that’s how it must be.
