So you figure that you've got him all figured out
He's a sweet talkin stud Who can melt a girl's heart with his pout He's the kind of lover that the ladies dream about He's got plenty of cash He's got plenty of friends He drives women wild Then he drives off in a mercedes-benz He's got a long wick with a flame at both ends He's hot But don't let him go Just give him a chance to grow Take it easy, take it slow And don't let him go He makes you so angry He makes you so sore The wait may be worth it But how can you wait anymore When you're wonderin what you're waitin' for Baby I don't know But don't let him go He just needs a chance to grow Take it easy, take it slow And don't let him go Don't let him go |

I can't fight this feeling
any longer And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow What started out as friendship has grown stronger I only wish I had the strength to let it show I tell myself that I can't hold out forever I said there is no reason for my fear Cause I feel so secure when we're together You give my life direction You make everything so clear And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight You're a candle in the window On a cold dark winter's night And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might And I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I started fighting for It's time to bring this ship into the shore And throw away the oars forever Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I started fighting for And if I have to crawl upon the floor Come crushing through your door Baby I can't fight this feeling anymore My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you I've been running round in circles in my mind And it always seems that I'm following you girl Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might And I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I started fighting for It's time to bring this ship into the shore And throw away the oars forever Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I started fighting for And if I have to crawl upon the floor Come crushing through your door Baby I can't fight this feeling anymore |

She doesn't like the tough guys.
They think that they can do anything they please. But they're gonna get a surprise, When she brings them to their knees. 'Cus she doesn't like the rough guys. They act like they can have any girl they choose. They've got tricks, but my baby got wise, So in case you haven't heard the news, She doesn't like the tough guys. She doesn't like the rough guys. So find some one you own size, 'Cus she's not afraid of you. She doesn't like the tough guys. She thinks that they've got brains all where they sit. They think they're full of fire, She thinks they're full of shit. She doesn't like the tough guys. She says she's heard enough lies. She's gonna call your bluff, guys. And you better believe it's true. She don't like you. |

Ridin' the storm out, waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter. My wine bottle's low, watching for the snow I've been thinking lately of what I'm missing in the city. And I'm not missing a thing Watchin' the full moon crossing the range Ridin' the storm out Ridin' the storm out. My lady's beside me, she's there to guide me. She says that alone we've finally found home. The wind outside is frightening, but it's kinder than the lightning life in the city. It's a hard life to live but it gives back what you give. |

We flew into town on Sunday, had to find a place by Monday
Tried Bridgeport and Westport, 'til we found a place that we thought would do 157 Riverside Avenue. Saugatuck River's flowin', Mother nature's colors were showin' So cold, so rainy, we couldn't help feelin' blue Not enough time, too many things to do. We met a young girl on Main street, wanted to just pass her by She was homely, so lonely, She said, "Can I make love to you." We shouted 157 Riverside Avenue. It's over, Miss Lena, we're leaving. Such a pleasant stay, I must say. So nice, so easy, we hate to say goodbye to you At 157 Riverside Avenue.
