Alphabet St. (acoustic)

Come turn the lights down a bit

What?

I'm goin' down 2 Alphabet Street {x4}
Lordy

I'm goin' down, down 2 Alphabet Street
I'm gonna crown the first girl that I meet
I'm gonna talk so sexy, she'll want me from my head 2 my feet

Ahh - my head 2 my feet
Ahh - going down
Ahh

I'm gonna drive my daddy's Thunderbird, huh
A white rag '67, so glam - it's absurd
I'm gonna put her in the back seat and, oh, Lord have mercy!

Ahh - Yeah, yeah
Ahh

I'm going down, baby, baby, if I can find happy
Oh, and I'll have peace of mind
Ohh ... do me fine

Ahh
Lord
Do me, yeah
Yeah

Excuse me, baby - I don't mean 2 be rude
I guess 2night I'm not in the mood
If U don't mind, if U don't mind - ohh!

Hey, I know Martina!

K?

The Grand Progression

Can it be in this seemingly short space of time
We've lived a year or 2 inside our minds?
Now I want 2 whisper in your ear
That U're OK

If love were gold then I would be fixed 4 life
If I was a star, then baby, U would be the night
And I want 2 live my whole life through
Inside of U

CHORUS:
Darling it seems I have found the grand progression
Whenever I'm in your arms
From July until June, every sun and every moon
Melting inside of your charms

If there really is a God up above
2 him I owe my life 4 U my love
Now ... darling, if I died yesterday
It's OK

CHORUS {x2}

Can it be in this seemingly short space of time
We've lived a year or 2 inside our minds?
Now I want 2 spend my whole life through
Inside of U

If I Love U 2 Nite

Funny that U should call
I was just sittin' by the telephone
Looking 4 a remedy
4 all my misery

I'm sorry 4 what I said
It's just that I didn't think our first date should be in bed
Ooooh, I wanna let U be the one
But U oughta know I'm lookin' 4 a girl
That'll want me 4 more than one night of fun

CHORUS:
If I love U 2night (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Swear 2 me that U'll stay with me until the morning light
(Baby, can U stay until the morning light, ooh?)

Just tell me U'll hold me tight (Hold me)
If I love U 2night

I want U, this is true
When U looked at me, I knew (That's when, it's when I knew)
This ain't no matter of pride (No matter)
It's just that when 2morrow comes I want U here by my side

CHORUS

I'm lookin' 4 a girl, she don't have 2 be pure
(I am looking 4 a girl)
She just gotta be sho'nuff secure
(Sho'nuff secure)
If U want a lover, I'm the remedy

But girl, U gotta tell me what U gonna do 4 me
(What U gonna do, what U gonna do 4 me?)

If I love U 2night
Promise me that U'll stay with me until the morning light
(Say that U'll stay until the morning light, ooh)

Promise me that U'll stay with me until the morning light

The Line

Can U talk 2 me with your body, baby?
Can U tell me what I wanna hear?
Can U lay on me a good enough reason 2 cross the line?
Yeah, ho! {x2}

Can U be my lover and still be my friend? (Can U be my friend?)
Can U stick with me till the bitter end? (The bitter end)
Can U lay on me a good enough reason 2 cross the line?
Yeah, ho! (Cross the line)

CHORUS:
The line, line - it's a happy step 2 make
It takes time, time - all is what it takes
The line, line - and soon your life is so much better
The water's so much better on the other side (Cross the line)

Can U tolerate? Why am I not so free?
How I did the plan
Can U understand I'm a free man?
But will I stop the dam if I don't cross the line?
Yeah, ho! {x2}
Ow!

Cross the line sugar, cross the line {x2}
Cross the line

Melody Cool

(Melody) (Oh!) {repeated in background}
They call me Melody Cool
I'm naked because of U
If U doubt me I'll leave U, cuz I'm nobody's fool
I'm Melody Cool

When I was born there were tidal waves
Whole town went under, nobody saved
At every funeral it rained
Every time I sang - Melody Cool

La da da da da da da da da {x2}
I have been here much longer, much longer than U
I'm Melody Cool

Everybody runnin' 'round talkin' 'bout saving souls
When they know good and plenty well
They got enough trouble trying 2 save their own
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah!

Every woman and every man (Yeah)
One day they just got 2 understand
If we play in the same key everything could be Melody Cool

Melody
Hey hey hey
New Power wave your hand
Everybody sing across the land
Say hey hey hey (Hey hey hey)
Everybody say hey hey hey (Hey hey hey)
Alright, hey hey hey (Hey hey hey)
They call me Melody Cool

(Melody Cool) {repeated} {fade out}

The Sex Of It

U say U want simplicity
U don't like love complex
I got a spooky feeling
U just want me 4 the sex

The thrills of it
The chills of it
The spills of it
U just want me 4 the sex
The sex of it {x2}

I gave U a diamond ring my friend
That didn't get U off
French cologne a hundred bucks an ounce (Ooh)
All U did was cough
U say U want simplicity
U don't like love complex
But I got a spooky feeling
U just want me 4 the sex

The thrills of it
The chills of it
The spills of it
Baby, baby, U just want me 4 the sex
Just want me 4 the sex
The sex of it {x2}

Don't open that window
I told U not 2 open that window!

The sex of it {x2}

How can I make U understand that's all I wanna do?
Damn my life, I'd rather spend it all with U
I couldn't love U anymore, I guess I'll hate U next
Confess U bitch! (What?)

The thrills of it
The chills of it
The spills of it
U just want me 4 the sex {repeat verse}

The sex of it (Hey)
The sex of it

Get away from that cage
The sex of it
Get away from the.
Oh girl
