Get It Right

Well I shut the door on you
and I show my face to the wind
Trail ahead is blazing
and my heart’s all over my skin
So I step out on the pavement
but my heels keep sinking in
Kinda stupid but I’m restless
and I don’t know where to begin
One thing’s for sure
I’m gonna get it, (get it), get it right, (get it right), oh yeah
get it baby, (get it), hold on tight, (hold on tight)
and shut my mouth and close my eyes
Take a last look and say goodbye
to the wrong road
You can roll and you can tumble
but there’s nothing like a bruise
It burrows and it festers
‘till it feels like cement is in your shoes
Well this bruise is wearing thin
and the cement’s weighing me down
Gonna throw away these bootstraps
I’m gonna stand up and take my ground
One thing’s for sure
I’m gonna get it, (get it), get it right, (get it right), oh yeah
get it baby, (get it), hold on tight, (hold on tight)
and shut my mouth and close my eyes
Take a last look and say goodbye
You peel away, you peel away, layers and layers of stone
you weep and moan, you weep and you moan,
that your whole life’s been too rough
Well I say, enough is enough, yeah yeah
Well my lips are full and sober
but my eyes ain’t seen enough
so I’m peeking round the corner
I see my new skin in the buff
One thing’s for sure
I’m gonna get it, (get it), get it right, (get it right), oh yeah
get it baby, hold on tight, (hold on tight)
shut my mouth and close my eyes
Take a last look to say goodbye
to the wrong road (get it, get it right)
Ain’t gonna take the wrong road (get it)
no no no no, (hold on tight)
I’m gonna get it right, (get it, get it right)
I’m gonna take the right road (get it, hold on tight)
Hey, c’mon, let’s get this thing right this time (get it)
hmm hmm yeah yeah (get it right)
Gonna get it right (get it)
Hey don’t take that road over there, (hold on tight), um hmm
Gonna get it right, (get it), right, (get it right), yeah, get it, (hold on tight)
Oh whoa oh whoa (get it) (gonna get it, get it, right, gonna get it right)
I’m, I’m, gonna get it right baby (gonna get it, get it, right, gonna get it right)
Whoa (gonna get it, get it, right, gonna get it right) I’m gonna get, I’m, I’m, I’m gonna get it right (gonna get it, get it, right, gonna get it right)
oh yes I am (gonna get it, get it, right, gonna get it right)
I’m gonna get it right

Oh yellow moon, yellow moon,
why you keep peeping in my window?
Do you know something, do you know something that I don't know?
Did you see my baby
walking down them railroad tracks?
Whoa can you tell me now ain’t he a-comin’ back
With your eyes so big and shining
You can see the whole damn world
Yellow moon can you tell me
Is the boy with another girl, girl?
Is he hid out with another
or is he trying to get back home?
Is he wrapped up in some other's arms?
Or is the boy simply all alone?
Can you see if he is missin’ me,
or is he having a real good time?
Has he forgotten all about me,
or is the boy still mine all mine?
With your eyes so big and shining
You can see the whole damn world
Yellow moon can you tell me
Is the boy with another girl, girl?
oh oh oh oh
With your eyes so big and shining
You can see the whole damn world
Yellow moon can you tell me
Is the boy with another girl, girl?
Yellow moon, yellow moon, yellow moon
why you keep peeking in my window, mm hmm
Can you tell me is the boy still a friend of mine
Hey, moon, why you peeking in my window
Every night I see your silhouette
What’s the big secret
What do you know
I just want the truth
Does he still love me
Can you, can you tell me that much
‘cuz I don’t know what to do
I’m running in my dreams
and I’m scared

Trace of Your Heart
(Wendy Waller)
Look out my window at the big wide world
It’s a deceptive sight to see
I cannot find you in the big wide world
And that’s the strangest thing to me
Because you left without a trace of your heart
Yeah you left without a trace of your heart
Of your heart
Of your heart
Of your heart
Of your heart
I kept your secrets in the big wide world
They became my secrets too
Now that I’ve kept them and I’m not your girl
Gonna finally find out what’s true
Because you left without a trace of your heart
Yeah you left without a trace of your heart
Of your heart
Of your heart
Of your heart
Of your heart
There’s monsters lurking in my head
Feels like the lies that I was fed
I love you I love you I love you everyday
Well you could not love so why you talk that way
You got a new girl in the big wide world
She takes good care of you
She’ll keep your secrets and she’ll watch your world
And then she’ll find out what’s true
Because you’re gonna leave without a trace of your heart
Yeah you’re gonna leave without a trace of your heart
Yeah you’re gonna leave without a trace of your heart
Yeah you’re gonna leave without a trace of your heart
Of your heart
Of your heart
Of your heart
Of your heart
Of your heart
Yeah yeah...

It's the time of the season
When love runs high
In this time, give it to me easy
And I will try
With pleasured hands
To take you to the sun to
Promised lands
To show you every one

What's your name?
Who's your baby?
Is she rich like me?
(Oo oo oo oo oo)
Has she taken

Any time
To show you what you need to live?
(Tell it to me slowly)
Tell me why?

I wait by my window, see your face
You stand at my doorway, a pillar of grace
Oh, I wonder how you ever drew me to you
It must have been that sparkle in your eye
Your lips your smile your heart your soul
Just flew right through me I walked to you through stardust in the sky
Chorus:
Now I’m folding in your arms once again
Yeah, I’m folding in your arms once again, once again
The bridge of a lifetime
A bad escape
My heart often wondered... would it ever be okay
But I never had to question for a moment
If there was something you forgot to say
I turned around and felt you in an instant
and knew you’d never throw our love away
Chorus

I’ve Got to Use My Imagination
(Gerry Goffin and Barry Goldberg)
(*below is Wendy’s version)
I really got to use my imagination
Gotta think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on
I got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone
Darkness all around me
Blackin’ out the sun
Old friends call me
But I just don't feel like talkin’ to anyone
Emptiness has found me
And it just won’t let me go
I go right on livin'
But why I do not know
Starin’ down reality
Don't do me no good
'Cause our misunderstanding
Is too well understood
It’s such a sad, sad season
When a good love dies.
Not a day goes by
When I don't realize
I've really got to use my imagination
I gotta think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on
Got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone
You were gone
I-i-i-i-i-i baby
Since you were gone
Since you were gone

Be My Baby

Well there’s a big old grin on the moon tonight
A sinister wind has taken flight
And she’s watching you
Roll around in the ditches
Got a crystal ball, a handful of salt
Throw it over my shoulder
Hope it’s not my fault
That you’re turnin’ away
Leavin’ me in stitches
Do you want to be my baby (be my baby)
Do you want to be my baby (be my baby)
Oh darlin’ I’m thinkin about
Thinkin’ about
How much I want you
Oh baby I’m thinkin’ about
Thinkin’ about
How I want you to stay
A gypsy’s dancing to a Reinhardt tune
Got a fork-ed tongue
Laughs like a loon
Says magic is only for the weary
Moon smiles
Blows me a kiss
Says baby you know there’ll be more nights like this
When magic makes all your dreams come true
Do you want to be my baby (be my baby)
Do you want to be my baby (be my baby)
Oh darlin’ I’m thinkin’ about
Thinkin’ about
How much I want you
Oh baby I’m thinkin’ about
Thinkin’ about
How I want you to stay
Oh I want you to stay
I do voodoo for your love
Tinctures, potions
All that stuff
Priestess calling from above
We’re falling
There’s a big ole grin on the moon tonight
Not laughin’ now at my lover’s plight
Just got my way
through the forest
There’s dribs and drabs of ignited flames
I’m stompin’ ‘em out
‘Cuz you call my name
There’s no way you can ignore this
Do you want to be my baby (be my baby)
Do you want to be my baby (be my baby)
Oh darlin’ I’m thinkin’ about (thinkin’ about)
Thinkin’ about (thinkin’ about )
Thinkin’ about (thinkin’ about)
Thinkin’ about (oo oo oo)
How I want you to stay
Would you be my baby (would you be my baby)
Would you be my babe (would you be my babe)
Be my baby (be my baby)
Would you be my babe (would you be my babe)
Baby baby baby baby baby baby babe
Baby baby baby
Would you be my baby (would you be my baby)
Be my baby
Hmm would you be

No More

You ain't gonna bother me no more
Nohow
Love goes just so far
No more
Woke up this morning and found
I didn't care for you no more
Not now
Never felt so good before
You're down to my size
It's over and done
So honey, step down from your throne
That look in your eyes
Don't bother me none
Can take you or leave you alone
From my window
Skies ain't grey no more
Not now
Here's the day
That I've been waiting for
I got only one heart
One heart with no spares
Gonna save it for loving
Somebody who cares
You ain't gonna bother me
No more, no more
