Take My Hand 04:05
Take my Hand, I know that you can Hold on tight, this might be the night I walked all over town trying to find your door It was a long way baby. But I want more Been out on that pier of fear and it took me across the sea Heaven knows I need you so desperately I looked all over for your love And it's you that I've been, I've been dreaming of Take me with you baby. Let me be the one To wish upon a star that this night would come I've seen it at the movies. I've watched it on TV Lovers walking hand in hand. Live so happily I've looked all over (Ah) And I know (Ah) That it's you that I've been, I've been dreaming of So, take my hand. I know that you can Just hold on tight. This might be the night Just take my hand. I know that you can Just hold on tight. This might be the night Just take my hand (take my hand) I know that you can Just hold on tight (hold on tight) This might be the night Just take my (take my hand) I know that you can Hold on tight (hold on tight) This might be the night Just take my hand Just take my hand Just take my hand Just take my hand

Cotton 04:13
When I was a young boy I used to play a little game I was always doing something Just to pass the time away Teacher always told me Quit staring out the window You better pay attention Here's what's on my mind It goes over again It goes inside my head Get back in line Better listen to the teacher My mind was always somewhere Where it really shouldn't be You need to be a big boy And do what you are told I really didn't listen And it never leaves my mind It goes over again It goes inside my head It goes over, and over, and over again These are the words that old Stymie said I wish Cotton was a monkey Because he's sure enough funky When I was a young boy I used to play a little game I was always doing something Just to pass the time away Teacher always told me Quit staring out the window You better pay attention And it never my mind It goes over again It goes inside my head It goes over, and over, and over again These are the words that old Stymie said I wish Cotton was a monkey Because he's sure enough funky

Turn The Key 03:21
You think your times are tough You're not the only one Many have gone before And had their dreams undone Yeah the time is right To turn your life around Set a course for open sea Before you run aground The days and nights in fear Of what lies up ahead The open door is near Just turn that key instead Turn it instead. I said yeah, yeah, yeah It's time to realize You're not what you've become What matters is today And not where you come from No more dead-eye stares You've finally broken free You've got it turned around Be strong and you will see The days and nights in fear Of what lies up ahead The open door is near Just turn that key instead Turn it instead I said, well Turn it instead I said yeah, yeah, yeah I know (I know) You've seen your dreams come true You have (You have) Control. It's only you It's only you I said yeah, yeah, yeah

Honey, baby you look so fine Honey, would you be all mine Cruising down Hollywood and Vine Seen a little honey that blew my mind 63 Chevy beside a Coupe de Ville I looked at her and I was ready for a thrill Two thousand miles away from home I had the time, she was ready to roam Backseat leather, it felt so fine Come on honey, just one more time Honey, baby you look so fine Honey, would you be all mine She took me out for a night on the town Flaming Doctor Peppers turning up and down Looked at her watch, it was a quarter to three She said there's somewhere I really need to be Two thousand miles away from home Rocking and a rolling, rocking all night long 63 Chevy beside a Coupe de Ville Hey! Pull over Junior. I think I just saw another thrill Honey, baby you look so fine Honey, would you be all mine Honey, baby you look so fine Honey, would you be all mine Come on honey Honey, baby you look so fine Honey, would you be all mine I tell you Honey, you look so fine Honey, would you be all mine I tell you honey I really need you honey I really want you honey I really need you honey Come on honey
