Can't Control

Down the mountain there’s a place I know
where people like to dance hip to hip toe to toe
Across the tracks they got everything you need
It’s the place that reeks a booze sex and weed
Bop, rock, no time to talk
Bop, rock, no time to talk
Boppin little baby, when you rock you drive me crazy
and I can’t control what I do
I found my baby and I lost her to(o) some dirty rat that knew how to Boogaloo
but I don’t cry cause there’s plenty more
Who like to rock n roll on and off the dance floor
Bop, rock, no time to talk
Bop, rock, no time to talk
Boppin little baby, when you rock you drive me crazy
and I can’t control what I do
We got the hi-fi high and the lights down low
Don’t play a little ballad cause I can’t dance slow
Get real close, I’m on my knees
Give me everything that this needy sold needs
Bop, rock, no time to talk
Bop, rock, no time to talk
Boppin little baby, when you rock you drive me crazy
and I can’t control what I do

Well I gotta find a baby
I gotta get a date
I gotta get her quick before it gets too late
Cause my little baby, she don’t treat me fair
Well I got a find a baby with blue eyes and a black hair
I had me a woman and I tried to be true
But now I found out just what I gotta do
Cause my little baby she don’t treat me fare I gotta find baby with blue eyes and black hair
I had a little mama
and tried to settle down
but now I know that I gotta get around
because my little baby doesn’t treat me fair
I got a find a baby with blue eyes and a black hair
Like a ravage hunter, hunting on the rabbits track
I’m looking for a baby blue eyes and hair black
Cause my little baby she don’t treat me fair
I gotta a find a woman with blue eyes and black hair

They said you can’t live here no more, you’re shook
The way you’re always twitching, the way your eyes look
You keep doing the things you do, you’ll be dead by 22
They said you can’t live here no more, you’re shook
But I don't care just what they say,
Im a shook boy, I wouldn’t have it any other way
They said you can’t live here no more, you’re shook
The way you’re always twitching, the way your eyes look
You keep doing the things you do, you’ll be dead by 22
They said you can’t live here no more, you’re shook
But I don't care just what they say,
Im a shook boy, I wouldn’t have it any other way
You’ll get cut, you better watch out man
But I don't care just what they say,
Im a shook boy, I wouldn’t have it any other way
They said you can’t live here no more, you’re shook

Sweet Mary Lou I don't trust you
Tellin everybody about the things we do
But don't tell on me baby
and I won't tell on you
So she told me not to tell all her friends
Cause they might tell her husband
And he’s a big man with two cast iron hands
But news got all around
I’m thinking it’s bout time I leave this town
Before I get buried six feet underground
Sweet Mary Lou I don't trust you
Tellin everybody about the things we do
Dont tell on me baby, I won't tell on you
I thought you told me not to tell
em
I thought you told me not to tell
em
But now you went and told him
And I can't trust you
I admit it baby, I don’t mind lyin
But sure enough, I do mind dyin
My trust in her is somethin I ain't buyin
She threw me to the wolves and didn’t care one bit
Runaround town just gettin kicks
Well I’m made of bones and her man throws stones and sticks
Sweet Mary Lou I don't trust you
Tellin everybody about the things we do
Dont tell on me baby, I won't tell on you
I thought you told me not to tell
em
I thought you told me not to tell
em
But now you went and told him
And I can't trust you

Love Bandit Jones

There’s a boy at the bar he’s a site to be seen
He’s a real sad sack who wears his m heart on his sleeve
One day I went and asked him why he’s all alone
He said “my wife is at home with Love Bandit Jones”
Love Bandit Jones, Love Bandit Jones, nobody’s ever seen em’ but nobody knows
There ain’t one woman that one man can own
That’s why they always call him Love Bandit Jones
When Sad Sack told me he started to cry
but then he stood up with some fire in his eyes
I’m gonna load my pistol, sharpen my knife
I’m gonna kill that man who’s got my wife
Love Bandit Jones, Love Bandit Jones, nobody’s ever seen em’ but everybody knows
There ain’t one woman that one man can own
That’s why they always call him Love Bandit Jones
Every bar near and far from Humber Loop to Neville Park
All you men can pin your woman to your side but the minute you try you can wave her goodbye
Love Bandit Jones, Love Bandit Jones, nobody’s ever seen em’ but everybody knows
There ain’t one woman that one man can own
That’s why they always call him Love Bandit Jones

Down, down down
Baby I’m down
Down on my knees Baby I’m begging
Begging you please
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back to me
You’ve been gone
For so long
and I’ve been waiting here all alone
I got your name carved in my arm
On my arm it reads
“I need Annie”
Oh Annie
Down, down, down
I’ll follow your footsteps
I’ll follow your lead
Down to the lake
The last place you were seen
and I’ll go down, I’ll go down
I’ll drown, I’ll drown
Then it will be just you and me
For eternity
Oh Annie
