Hey, Jody 02:47
Hey, Jody - Birk/Bosmans © 2012 Black bike, with the seat low No tassels for her ride She pulls up to the corner store Just as I step outside Hey Jody, how you doin’ She says she’s doing fine She asks if I wanna hang out I say sure I’m just killing time, killing time, killing time Red hair, dreamy green eyes And her mysterious smile She’s walks with a little limp It just adds to her style She’s cool and she knows it Though she is nice to me She’s one of those girls who Just know how to be free, to be free, to be free Hey, Jody What you doin’ lately? How’d your life turn out anyway? I remember what you told me Just like it was yesterday Hey, Jody Hey, Jody Hey, Jody Hey, Jody why don’t you waste some time, waste some time, waste some time on me? Hey, Jody

Roller Coaster of Love, Hate & Tenderness - Birk/Bosmans © 2012 Climbing high to the top, looking down the other side White knuckles as I hold on for the ride Fear and excitement mixing up my insides Here comes the heart attack Been here before, it seems so brand new Maybe because this time I'm in it with you The twist and turns are making their debut There's no turning back It's a roller coaster of love, hate and tenderness Roller coaster of love, hate and tenderness Roller coaster of love, hate and tenderness Some days it's like our love will never end Those are the days I believe in love again Other days you treat me like an enemy, not a friend I can't do anything right Trapped by my love for you, I confess I'm obsessed What is the answer to this never-ending test I try and try but my best ain’t enough, I guess But oh your dizzying heights (echo – baby turn out the lights?) It's a roller coaster of love, hate and tenderness Roller coaster of love, hate and tenderness Roller coaster of love, hate and tenderness You've got me wondering what comes next I'm never ready for your moods But I'll jump right back in line I’m gonna jump right back in line I'll cut to the front of the line for another ride on your Roller coaster of love, hate and tenderness Roller coaster of love, hate and tenderness Roller coaster of love, hate and tenderness Roller coaster of love, hate and tenderness Roller coaster of love, hate and tenderness Roller coaster of love, hate and tenderness

Love & Devotion - Dave Birk © 2012 Love… Devotion… I get this feeling when I think of you (when I think of you) That I'm not the only one You've led down this road of seduction and mystery Is this your history? Tell me, what do you know of my heart's emotion? I'm not some child with a simple crush (this is serious) And I won’t be swept away When you try to undo me with your charm and promises I need what's real, instead Show me, what do you propose for the intricate instability of… Love and Devotion Is all I ask from you And all you'll get from me Is my heart’s Love and Devotion A single destiny A probability Of love and devotion You've got me yearning I admit it's true (to be with you) But I won’t be falling fast I measure the danger of loving so carelessly The vulnerability Hold me, and my fragile spirit lies at the mercy of your… Love and Devotion Is all I ask from you And all you'll get from me Is my heart’s Love and Devotion A single destiny A probability Of love and devotion While I may sound somewhat skeptical My soul finds you wildly delectable All my reasoning aside No defenses can I find To protect me from love’s hypnotic twist I’m so powerless to… Love and Devotion Is all I ask from you And all you'll get from me Is my heart’s Love and Devotion A single destiny A probability Of love and devotion

Speed Queen Mystery Date - Dave Birk © 2012 Every Monday night I do my laundry at 8 P.M. At the Speed Queen Laundry on the corner of Union & Penn You know the one where the sign’s always flickering With the retro plastic chairs in bright orange, yellow, and green On my final load when my last quarter makes an escape Mr. Washington rolls to a perfectly unreachable place I lay my pride on the floor, everyone’s staring at me Then the pretty girl says, “hey, you can share a dryer with me” Speed Queen mystery date 55 minutes to determine our fate I need a shot of courage and some fascinating things to say to my Speed Queen mystery date She’s flying out tomorrow and her laundry couldn’t wait I throw my hands in the air and say “yeah, typical, that’s just great” She’s asking me, “what’s wrong” and I keep playing it straight I pout that she leaving me after only just one date… “I think you’re my soul mate” Speed Queen mystery date 55 minutes to determine our fate I need a shot of courage and some fascinating things to say to my Speed Queen mystery Speed Queen mystery date 55 minutes to determine our fate Life unfolds with the choices we make Life unfolds with the chances that we take yeah My Speed Queen mystery date Speed Queen mystery date Speed Queen mystery date
