Broken Key

I fell in love with you girl

Mistakenly made you my whole world

You were the one that made me feel so alive

In the beginning it was good

But somehow I misunderstood your agenda

And didn’t see what was really going on

Just when I thought I got it right

You decide to change your mind

You do everything you can to push me away

You can’t hide the bill this time

And now that I see I can’t be blind

You’ll have to get used to putting your life on layaway

You took my money every time

With almost nothing left to buy

And you talk like I never did anything at all

It’s time to close up the mine

There’s nothing left for you to find

Soon you’ll find out you’ve got a broken key to the mall

Your sweetness was a lie

You saw me coming every time

I was fool for believing you were the perfect wife

Now you can find some other guy

Who will pay for your every buy

For now your authorization code will read “goodbye”

I’m gonna have some fun tonight

While you get used to living tight

Now that I know you never cared for me at all

It’s time to close up the mine

There’s nothing left for you to find

Soon you’ll find out you’ve got a broken key to the mall

I gave you everything I had

You threw my good money after bad

Now I know better than to open up the mine

Go back to your gold digging friends

Find someone else you can depend on

Ma’am I’m sorry but this transaction has been declined

You won’t find me around this time

Nothing left for you to find

You’ve got a broken key to the mall

Now that I know you never cared for me at all

You’ve got a broken key to the mall

There’s nothing left for you to buy at all

Je Ne Sais Quoi

Everywhere I look I try not to see

All of the reminders all the fantasy

A cool mountain breeze, the sun in the sky

Day and night she’s always on my mind

No matter where I am no matter where I hide

I can still feel her moving me inside

She’s got a hold of me surrounding my core

She’s taking me places I’ve never been before…

Oh she follows me wherever I go

Oh she’s got that certain I don’t know what it is that keeps me dreaming

Oh she stays with me wherever I am

Oh she’s got that certain I don’t know what it is that keeps me dreaming

Everywhere I look everything I feel

I can’t get my mind off her unending appeal

Like the pages of a book turn after turn

The more I know the more I want to learn

Oh she follows me wherever I go

Oh she’s got that certain I don’t know what it is that keeps me dreaming

Oh she stays with me wherever I am

Oh she’s got that certain I don’t know what it is that keeps me dreaming

I have no time of my own

Now that she’s taken over

It’s impossible to ignore how I feel

Oh she follows me wherever I go

Oh she’s got that certain I don’t know what it is that keeps me dreaming

Oh she stays with me no matter how far I run away

Oh she’s got that certain I don’t know what it is

That Je ne sais quoi

On The Roof

Too many people here

I wanna hold you near

Cant wait till we get home

We wanna be alone

Forget about candlelight

Let’s hit the stairs tonight

Let’s make a memory

While the city sleeps

Up on the roof tonight

Up on the roof tonight

We’re gonna have some fun

I’m gonna make you come

Up on the roof tonight

Wrapped in a heavy coat

No one else has to know

Under the stars we go

I know it’s not the type

Of thing that you usually do

As much as you try to hide

I know there’s a freak in you

In the hot in the cold

You know you’ve got me to hold

So just give that look – we’re gone

Upstairs to carry on

Lay it down right here

No one can see us there

And I can see it in your eyes

You don’t really care

El Compadre

On a crazy day

When we had too much sun

Saw the yellow sign on Sunset

And pulled into the back

Making our way through the dark

We slide into a red vinyl booth

A man with a guitar and a 606

Sings tales of war no man can win

In El Compadre

Playing in a dark room

The man sees you with me

And sings predictions of doom

Underneath the table

In the booth where we sat

You prove you’re quite handy

I didn’t know you were capable of that

My margarita slumber

Ended two blocks from my home

When you pulled your car over

And let that devil in you roam

You took advantage of me

In the back of your ‘73

La Bomba

I didn’t know

You were setting me up for a fall

Sometimes I wish

I never met you

You had a strange way of saying goodbye

Lining up your next victim

By bringing him here tonight

I’m in El Compadre

Playing in a dark room

I see you and your new man

And sing him a warning of doom

Underneath the table

In the booth where we sat

He’s about to find out

You’re capable of that

Tango (Moonlight Side)

Tango…

It’s been oh so long

The feeling’s coming on so strong

I never knew that all along

That all this points to you

So suddenly

I’m hit with unknown energy

I’ve been in love but honestly

I know this is for real for you

We take a chance

We’re getting closer as we dance

In circles feeling more romance

The only one I see is you

From day to night

I can feel your moves imply

You’re ready for a midnight flight

And now it’s time to leave the room

Girl my love is true girl my love is right

So will you come and stay with me tonight

And we’ll pass the time

On the moonlight side

Girl our love is true girl our love is right

And I want you here with me tonight

We will hideaway

On the moonlight side

Achin’

Even before I saw you

I was told you were coming

A warm feeling came from nowhere

And I can’t fight it

Something’s happening

You arrive

And I watch all the other guys

Pool around you

And I’m just waiting

You see last night

We talked for hours and you let me know you’re watching me

So cool

But even though you might know I’m not letting it on

That I’m

Achin’

I’m achin’ for you baby

‘cause I got the time

A couple days to spare

My goal is to never let you know

How much I wanna be with you

You came to me

Started telling me all your business and I never asked

Soaked in anticipation

‘cause I’m gonna give you something you’ll never forget

I’m holding back - it feels so good to watch you wait

Never knowing what I’m gonna do next

But deep down

I’m Achin’

I’m achin’ for you baby

‘cause I got the time

A couple days to spare

My goal is to never let you know

How much I wanna be with you

I’m achin’ for you baby

From the minute I’m waking I can barely stand it

Almost can’t take it

‘cause I’m achin for you

Walking Down Newland

No one was home when I called for a lift

Checked my pockets for bus fare

There was nothing but lint

Took me two and a half hours

Living seven miles from work

Walking down Newland

(Somewhere it’s raining)

Walking down Newland

(Somewhere it’s raining)

I’m west on Westminster

Leaves brush my face

Afternoon sun is burning gray

As the cars speed on by

I knew someday I’d write this

Back then I didn’t know why

Walking down Newland

(Somewhere it’s raining)

Made a turn at a burger stand

The last of its kind

Started walking down Newland

And didn’t dare look behind

Ocean breeze blew my clothes

As I crossed the 405

Walking down Newland

(Somewhere it’s raining)

And I felt so alive knowing there’s pain (far away)

My whole life ahead of me and love for Libras never ends

What could have happened doesn’t matter

When what’s happened so far is so much better

Finally reached my street – where I live you don’t walk

Mama asked why I was so late

Life was so easy then, that’s why I like talking about

Walking down Newland

(Somewhere it’s raining)

Sometimes it’s a cold and lonely world out there I swear

Let it rain…
