Lyrics:
young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not
in the creek
For the crickets and the critters and the squirrels
Shake it to the moon, shake it for me girl
Aw, country girl, shake it for me
thinking
"What a silly girl"
I know your every thought and scheme
I wake up to the feeling each morning
I go to bed to it at night
I know you, I love
Got no diamond, got no pearl
Still I think I'm a lucky girl
I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
Got no mansion, got no yacht
a girl waits for me
Tell the moon up in the sky
Tell the birds that fly by
That over and over and over the mountain
My love waits for me
Into each dark
town, you do it every time
The word's got out that you're on the line
On the moon, got fever in your shoes
The night's on you, what are you gonna do?
Girl, you really got me goin'
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin' now
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
Thing) James Brown, Billie Holiday)
(Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Louis Armstrong)
(Minnie Riperton, Otis Redding, Etta James)
Back in the day, they
and only then will she love me
Well at least that was the plan
If ever a boy needed a holiday
If ever a girl needed someone to hold
I just hope I don't
the dog
You're right last night I was a hog
Come on I'm sorry, Holiday on the radio
Billie knows that is the way to go, the way to go
A place where we
I met them first on their wedding night
Faces were flushed by their pledges plight
We passed in the hall and I met them well
But as their carriage
to slip off
That hair needs to come down
Friday nights need to do what Friday nights need to do
That's the truth
Yeah, birds need bees and ice needs
Sad girls
Talking 'bout bad girls, yeah
See them out on the street at night (walkin')
Picking up on all kinds of strangers
If the price is right
the morning and the moon at night
Got no mansion, got no yacht
Still I'm happy with what I've got
I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
the midnight sky
the moon, the desolate sky
and the road
Only the road and what has passed
or is passed by
(What tales do wily bluesman weave
'bout a man
Got no diamonds, got no pearls
Still I think I'm a lucky girl
I got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night
Got no mansion, got no yacht
all the way
Loved her on the moon
Morning came too soon
She got me high and loose, loose, loose
Oh, what a night
Such a good time
Out of sight
all the way
Loved her on the moon
Morning came too soon
She got me high and loose, loose, loose
Oh, what a night
Such a good time
Out of sight
In the whip on a Tuesday night, got the music high
And you by my side, side
Top down and the moon is high and the mood is right
And you're by my
the guy
Just what you're missin' baby in your life
By your side
When the nights get cold
And I could be there for you to hold
Oh baby ain't it gettin'
Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king?
What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer
Who don't believe in anything?
Will he make
Sad girls
Talking 'bout bad girls, yeah
See them out on the street at night (walkin')
Picking up on all kinds of strangers
If the price is right
night and crickets are callin'
And coyotes are makin' a wail
I dream by a smoldering fire
Along the Navajo Trail
I love to lie and listen
The night was so young and everything still
The moon shining bright on my window sill
I think of her lips, it chills me inside
And then I think why
