Call the Locksmith

You ain't her only, I'll bet
So you better try being her best
You think you made it since she gave you her key
But I know for real that don't mean anything
She gonna call the locksmith on you
If you go out running round like a fool
She gonna lock you out just like the rest
You never gonna be her only
Better try to be her best
She got his number in her phone
And she gon' call if you leave her all alone
You think you made it since you gave her your ring
But I know for real
She don't need that thing
She gonna call the locksmith on you
If you go out running round like a fool
She gonna lock you out just like the rest
You never gonna be her only
Better try to be her best
Listen here, pull up a chair
I wanna tell you about my friend over there
She knows what she wants
And she's gonna get it, too
She deserves it!
She's a work hard, play hard kind of woman
So you better be on your best behavior
I’m just doin’ you a favor, tellin’ ya
Neighbor to neighbor
Listen up
Just treat her right - satisfy her
Don't show up tired
You gon' get your ass fired
You think you made it
Since you said that you in love
But that lip service ain't gonna do no good
You better get to workin' with that tongue
Or she gonna call the locksmith on you
If you go out running round like a fool
She gonna lock you out just like the rest
You never gonna be her only
Better try to be her best
You never gonna be her only
Better try to be her best
You never gonna be her only
Better try to be her best

Live it Up

Nothing left to do
Go on and live it up
Did all that you can do
Go on and live it up
kickin' off your shoes
Crankin' up the groove
Grab a bottle just forget the cup
Go on live it up
They tried to knock you down
You been hanging tough
Did what you gotta now
NOW they know you got the stuff
You been going strong
Grindin' all day long
It's fine to say enough is enough
Go on live it up
[Solo > Chorus]
Kickin' off your shoes
Crankin' up the groove
Grab a bottle just forget the cup
Go on live it up
Verse 3:
Nothing left to do
Go on and live it up
Nobody's watching you
Go on and live it up
Crank your favorite song
Nothing 'bout it's wrong
Dance it out alone in the buff
Go on... live it up
Go on live it up
Go on live it up

In the Nighttime

The nighttime is no time to worry
You can take off your troubles now
Toss em aside with your clothes
Put em away
Put em away, we can
Put em away some other day
Makin' love, then we'll talk it out
You can put em back on tomorrow
The nighttime is no time to hurry
You can leave all the hustle out
Touchin and kissin you slow
Take our time
Takin our time
Take our time cause it feels fine
Makin' love let’s slow it down
We gotta pick up the pace tomorrow
You're so tired your eyes are blurry
But you're so wired you can't relax
Give me a chance, I won't let you down,
just lay on back...
The night time's the right time for lovin
We can lay all our troubles down
There's no score to settle
Give it to me
Give it to me,
Give it to me, I need it you see
Makin' love til’ the sun comes out
And we can do it again tomorrow
Makin' love 'til the sun comes out
Do it all again tomorrow
Makin’ love makes the world go round
Let’s do it all day tomorrow

Already Won

Could you love what we have,
If this is all you'll ever get?
Would it really be so bad,
If we left our chips unbet?
You won't leave empty handed.
Put your hand right here in mine.
If we stand up from this table,
Not ahead, not behind...
Then we've already won
Then we've already won
If you believe we've already won
Then indeed we've already won
Just a couple of rats,
Running around and around.
Could you love where we're at,
With our feet on the ground?
We don't need what they're selling.
Put your hand right here in mine.
If we let them chase their tails...
Leave this whole race behind...
Then we've already won
Then we've already won
If you believe we've already won
Then indeed we've already won
You and me, we've already won
If you believe we've already won
Yes indeed we've already won
If you'll believe we've already won
