Lady Maybe
I am Lady Maybe
lady ‘who knows, baby’
I am what a man calls fanciful
they may call me hazy
even say I’m crazy
but no man in this world
puts his spell on me
I am Lady Maybe
lady ‘who knows, baby’
I am what a man calls fanciful
but when they stand before me
they do anything to score me
adore me or ignore me
no chance for romance
I let them dance
till piggy-wiggies fly
there is magic in brown eyes
there can be music in a kiss
there are moments of illusion
but I never met the man I miss
I am Lady Maybe
lady ‘who knows, baby’
I am what a man calls fanciful
they may call me hazy
even say I’m crazy
but no man in this world
puts his spell on me

Sweet Expectation Street
once in a lifetime
a woman’s a girl
hold on to daddy!
who rules the world
a mother to feed her
a mother to care
a father to carry her
anywhere
once in a lifetime
an innocent girl
sayin’: give me the eyes
to see the world
give me the rainbows
the stars in the sky
give me the answers
and the reason why
but rainbows vanish in blue skies
and every answer is a broken dream
and daddy’s just a little man
who cries for me
man made up fairytales to chat up a girl
promises wonders and heaven on earth
he’s tellin’ me fortunes
holdin’ my hand
givin’ more answers than a woman can stand
and rainbows vanish in blue skies
and every answer is a broken dream
and daddy’s just a little man
who cries for me
sweet expectation suite
all the girls in the world
have a date on the corner of

Mumbo Jumbo
my man is a mean old mumbo
when he’s comin’ down again
stranger in his sticky limbo
don’t know how I need my man
when the moon was shinin’ down
on our premier rendez-vous
my world was turnin’ upside down
when he whispered I love you
now my man is a mean old mumbo
when he’s comin’ down again
stranger in his sticky limbo
don’t know how I need my man
a woman should give everything
when she loves a man
but what gift did my man bring me
and when
my man is a mean old mumbo
when he’s comin’ down again
stranger in his sticky limbo
don’t know how I need my man

Blue Morning
blue blue morning
ain’t got no home no more
blue blue morning
I’m knockin’ on no man’s door
say bye bye
bye bye
blue blue morning
emptiness is callin’
blue blue morning
misty rain is fallin’
they say no rain no rainbow
but I miss my baby so
blue blue morning
this heart is cold as ice
blue blue morning
we lost our paradise
they say it makes you grow
but I miss my baby so

Mr Blister
nobody can be perfect
so why should I try
we all have our limits
and honey, so have I
I like to see you walkin’
but don’t step on my shoes
I like to hear you talkin’
but don’t sing me the blues
I’m not your baby sister
or your little girl
so why should I be cryin’
over you
coverin’ all these magazines
with your fancy smile
lookin’ like an evergreen
a man and yet a child
they like to see you walkin’
but don’t step on my shoes
they like to hear you talkin’
but don’t sing me the blues
I’m not your baby sister
or your little girl
so why should I be cryin’
over you
you think you are a winner
who can take it all
and leave it
when you’re satisfied
but pity on my hearty
I don’t want to spoil your party
but why should I be cryin’
Mister Blister
Mister Blister
I’m not your baby sister
so why should I be cryin’ over
you

Weekend Lover
don’t
go
I just wanna make
love to you
don’t
say
no
only say
you want me to
every time you drop in on me
too soon you walk out that door
leavin’ me with my memories
o I know I shoudn’t ask for more
but
I don’t want
to be your weekend lover
lovin’ you on sundays
don’t like
to be your weekend lover
missin’ you
monday morning
can’t you see you’re gonna lose me
if I can’t be the only one
I gotta know, if you refuse me
I’d rather be the lonely one
and somebody
someday
maybe
will make you feel
can’t you see
baby
before it’s too late
the way this lonely heart is hurtin’ me
hurtin’ me
I don’t want
to be your weekend lover
lovin’ you on sundays
don’t like
to be your weekend lover
missin’ you
monday morning
don’t want
to be your weekend lover
weekend lover
we can
we can love her
don’t like
to be your weekend lover
I just wanna be your all time girl
your all time girl

Try
when I come home from my working day
nothing’s really changed
when I turn on tv and watch the show
nothing’s really changed
I see the same sad world through the same small window
nothing’s really changed
everything is still the same
but I’m the one who’s changed
I’m not that little girl anymore
hey baby come and rescue me
I’m drifing’ alone on a wide wide sea
I lost control in this crazy ratrace
I don’t wanna die in this place
don’t you understand
I need a shoulder to cry on
someone to talk to
just a friend to rely on
at least you can try
I know you’re tired but I need a friend
who understands me more
so don’t tell me it’s my period
we’ve been through that before
I feel strange and mixed up baby
I’m not the girl I used to be
talk to me cause loneliness is calling
hey baby come and rescue me
I’m drifing’ alone on a wide wide sea
I lost control in this crazy ratrace
I don’t wanna die in this place
don’t you understand
I need a shoulder to cry on
someone to talk to
just a friend to rely on
at least you can try
try try try
o you can try

Heartbreaker
when I’m walking down the street
I can hear people talk behind my back
you know what they say?
I’ll tell you what they say
they say I’m no good
and maybe they’re right
cause when I’m on the loose
please don’t stand in my light
they say I’m a moneymaker
just another thief
they say I’m a heartbreaker
who can’t get no relief
they say I’ve got a heart of stone
but remember baby
when teardrops fall
when teardrops fall
when teardrops fall
stone turns to sand
they say I’m a spider
waiting for another fly
they say I’m a liar
telling just another lie
I know you feel ashamed baby
well I feel the same
you got to know baby
I hate to play this game
but what else can a woman do
in a men’s jungle
this heart of mine is just a woman’s heart
and I’m so afraid baby this heart’s gonna fall apart
cause when you touch me everything’s gonna be alright
please, will you touch me I think I feel like crying like crying
like crying like crying
and when teardrops fall
when teardrops fall
when teardrops fall
stone turns to sand
