Woke up to the sound of pouring rain The wind would whisper and I'd think of you And all the tears you cried, that called my name And when you needed me I came through I paint a picture of the days gone by When love went blind and you would make me see I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes So that I knew you were there for me Time after time you were there for me Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand Love letters in the sand - I remember you Through the sleepless nights and every endless day I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you We spend the summer with the top rolled down Wished ever after would be like this You said I love you babe, whitout a sound I said I'd give my life for just one kiss I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand Love letters in the sand - I remember you Through the sleepless nights and every endless day I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you We've had our share of hard times But that's the price we paid And through it all we kept the promise that we made I swear you'll never be lonely Woke up to the sound of pouring rain Washed away a dream of you But nothing else could ever take you away 'Cause you'll always be my dream come true Oh my darling, I love you Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand Love letters in the sand - I remember you Through the sleepless nights and every endless day I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand Love letters in the sand - I remember you Through the sleepless nights and every endless day I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

T-bone Billy just a singin' the blues Caught his lady with another man Lit up a smoke and did some talkin' With the back of his hand She started shakin', started losing her mind But he was kicking back and playing it cool Signed her walkin' papers Took the 5:15 to Kalamazoo Sing for your supper, Nobody rides for free Eat your heart out, I'll send it C. O. D. One, two baby what you do Three, four let me show you the door You're better off dead than makin' a mess of me Five, six take your last licks Seven, eight let me give it to you straight You're better off dead than makin' a mess off me Now Billy-boy's out havin' a ball playin' fiddle at the local bar Dark shades, cool kicks, he's Hollywood Blvd. Slick Daddy and his fat cigar sayin': "Sign upon the dotted line!" He shook his head and said: "All I need is that fiddle of mine!" Sing for your supper, Nobody rides for free Take your big time, I'll take care of me One, two baby what you do Three, four let me show you the door You're better off dead than makin' a mess of me Five, six take your last licks Seven, eight let me give it to you straight You're better off dead than makin' a mess off me When trouble came knockin' Billy kep-a-rockin' like this ... Sing for your supper, Nobody rides for free Eat your heart out, I'll send it C. O. D. One, two baby what you do Three, four let me show you the door You're better off dead than makin' a mess of me Five, six take your last licks Seven, eight let me give it to you straight You're better off dead than makin' a mess off me One, two baby what you do Three, four let me show you the door You're better off dead than makin' a mess of me Five, six take your last licks Seven, eight let me give it to you straight You're better off dead than makin' a mess off me

She was a ballerina on a subway train Stiletto heels and a candy cane Looked like a number on a station wall Hot on the tail of a social call I wet my lips I thought I had it made Like Valentino with a hand grenade I made my move with my libido on She circled once and then she dropped the bomb She got the big guns Pointed my heart Bang bang shooting like a firing squad Big guns Blew me away And I went down in flames I met a sidewalk preacher on a roller skate He said he had the key to heaven's gate I said: "I'll wait for the movie 'cause I been there before" And learned: like is a battle and love is war She got the big guns Pointed my heart Bang bang shooting like a firing squad Big guns Took me by surprise She got my lovin' reachin' for the sky She got the big guns Pointed my heart Bang bang shooting like a firing squad Big guns Blew me away And I went down in flames I'm doing time as a back seat Romeo Play solitaire with my hands in the air Another night and no bullets to spare She got the big guns Pointed my heart Bang bang shooting like a firing squad Big guns Took me by surprise She got my lovin' reachin' for the sky She got the big guns Pointed my heart Bang bang shooting like a firing squad Big guns Blew me away And I went down in flames Big guns (Big guns) Big guns, blew me away And I went in flames Big guns, big guns She really, really got the big guns She shot me down in flames
