Take it off
Baby, just take it all off
Take it off
Baby, just take it all off
I said
Baby, just take it all off
Take off your coat (Take it off, baby)
Lemme hang it behind the door (Take it off, baby, baby)
Take off your wig (Take it off, baby)
And let me feel your afro (Take it off, baby, baby)
So come on, now
Baby, just take it all off (Take it all off)
Take off your eyelashes
I know you bought 'em on sale
Don't scratch my back
With no false fingernails
Stop rollin' your bloodshot eyes at me
And baby, just it all off
Kick off your shoes (Take it off, baby)
While I go fix us a drink (Take it off, baby, baby)
Forget about tomorrow, baby (Take it off, baby)
Because it's later than you think (Take it off, baby, baby)
So come on now
And baby, just take it all off
Okay
Yeah, come here, girl
Take off that lipstick, that powder and that paint
Since you came up here, girl
You just tryna be what you ain't
Stop rollin' your big brown eyes at me
And baby, just take it all off
All, take the load off your mind (Take it off, baby)
And relax your nerve tonight (Take it off, baby, baby)
Don't worry about a thing, mama (Take it off, baby)
Because time is just too tight, hahaha (Take it off, baby, baby)
So come on, now
And baby, just take it all off (Take it all off)
Aww, you look like a natural now (Take it off, baby)
You're takin' it all off
Ooh-wee (Take it off, baby, baby)
Yeah, you're lookin' so good (Take it off, baby)
Uh-huh

Let Me Get Close To You
02:39
|

|
I know I never felt this way before
I can't remember ever wanting anyone more
How can you turn me down when I need you the way that I do?
Come on, baby, let me get close to you
Ah, you won't be sorry
I'll do anything that you ask of me
I'll be the kind of man you want me to be
So won't you let me be the someone you tell your troubles to?
Come on, baby, let me get close to you
How long, I'll never know
I've waited to tell you that I love you so
Now I have finally said it
Come on, baby, don't make me regret it
It's not as if I'm asking for the world
All I want is just for you to be my girl
So won't you find it in your heart to make all of my dreams come true?
Come on, baby, let me get close to you
So won't you find it in your heart to make all of my dreams come true?
Come on, baby, let me get close to you
I wanna be close to you
Mm-mm, real close to you

Dalai Lama
05:14
|

|
Up in Tibet high in the Himalayas
There lives a cat called the Dalai Lama
In a palace called the Potala
A thousand rooms in a thousand colors
She had a far-out decorator
Dalai, Dalai Lama
Each room is different and filled with relics
That will disorient you like psychedelics
Thirty thousand monks at his direction
Practicing things like astral projection
Dalai, Dalai Lama
Yeah, you know the Dalai Lama gets those monks together
And leads them singing every Wednesday at the prayer meeting
That's how he maintains the devotion of his followers
You know, it kinda goes
A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three…
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Dalai Lama
He's the Dalai Lama
They pick a two year old and get him from his mama
And take him to the palace to be the Dalai Lama
I hear he never swats a mosquito
That's cause he's a follower of Buddha
Dalai, Dalai Lama
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
He's the Dalai Lama

Volare
03:00
|

|
Sometimes the world is a valley of heartaches and tears
And in the hustle and bustle, no sunshine appears
But you and I have our love always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us
Volare, oh, oh!
Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Let's fly way up in the clouds
Away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like birds of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find
Volare, oh, oh!
Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings

Thing For You

|
Yeah, babe, I've got a thing for you
You're the one I wanna give it to
Don't know what I'm gonna do
'Cause, baby, you've got me feelin' so blue
Got a thing for you
Thing for you
Got a thing for you
Thing for you
This thing is big and strong
I didn't care 'til you came along
My heart was gettin' all mislead
But now, I'm just out my head
Got a thing for you
Thing for you
Got a thing for you
Sexual thing for you
Intellectual
Yeah, ooh, I've got a thing for you
Yeah, ooh, really, I do
Really, I do
Got a thing for you
Thing for you
Got a thing for you
Sexual thing for you
Intellectual
That thing for you
Mystical
Thing for you
Ooh, physical
I've got a thing for you
Thing for you

Forbidden Love
02:45
|
|||
|
Baby come with me
To the dark end of the street
We'll find a place
To fly off into space
To the stars above
And our forbidden love
Noone can ever know
About where we go
And I'll never tell
How in love we fell
People want to prove
Oh, our forbidden love
Meet me tonight
Under streetlights
It's anonymous
When no one knows us
Where we can almost touch
Our forbidden love

Make A Little Love
03:30

Used to be a tramp
But I ain't no more
Got a hit record now
Pockets just full of dough
Got some new clothes, too
And good shoes on my feet
Penthouse apartment
Icebox just full of good things to eat
And on my finger is a diamond ring
Two chicks on each arm, and boys, I’m ready to swing
Yes, I'm ready
To make a little love (Make a little love)
Yeah, make a little love (Make a little love)
Can't call me country
’Cause I can dance, mm
Wear ivy league clothes, too
Ain't no cuffs in my pants
Gotta keep a fifty dollar process
Hair just straight silk
Manicure and facial
Skin just soft as buttermilk
And on my finger is a diamond ring
Two chicks on each arm, and boys, I'm ready to swing
Yes, I'm ready
To make a little love (Make a little love)
Mmm, make a little love (Make a little love)
I feel so good
Money in my pocket
Hahaha, man, I'm ready
Let's make a little love
Are you ready, baby?
And on my finger is a diamond ring
Two chicks on each arm, and boys, I'm ready to swing
Yes, I'm ready
To make a little love (Make a little love, yeah)
Yeah, make a little love (Make a little love, yeah)
Come on, baby, I wanna make a little love (Make a little love, yeah)
Do you wanna make a little love? (Make a little love, yeah)
Uh, so bad (Make a little love, yeah)
That’s cold (Make a little love, yeah)

Trouble Don't Last

I'm so glad
That trouble don't last always
I'm so glad
That trouble don't last always
I'm in love with you now darling
But I'll get over it some ol' day
My father was a preacher
And my mother prayed for me everyday
My father was a preacher
And my mother prayed for me everyday
I was raised up to be a good child
So why should I be treated this way
I'm in love with you darling
But I'm leaving you just the same
I'm in love with you darling
But I'm leaving you just the same
I'm going to find some good woman
And you can keep your other man

Don't Be A Drag

|
I’m in the groove
But all you do is rag
Come on now, baby
Don’t be a drag
Don’t be a drag, baby
Don’t be a drag on me
Don’t be a drag now, baby
Come on an let me be
Do what I please
Anytime I want
But somebody else
Always saying, “Don’t”
Don’t be a drag, baby
Don’t be a drag on my mind
Don’t be a drag now, baby
On my rockin’ good time
Your drawers are funky
Your hair is incorrect
And when I dig that dress
Cold chills down my back
That dress is a drag, baby
That dress is a drag on you
The dress it look better now, baby
On a monkey in the zoo

Nobody's Fool
03:12

Nobody's fool
This heart has never been broken
I kept my eyes wide open
Every time she said she loved me
Nobody's clown
No, I never joined that circus
Yeah, I played it cool
And I'm nobody's fool
Nobody's toy
No, I wasn't made to play with
Just love 'em and leave 'em
That's my game and I got to remain
Nobody's love
Nobody's bread and butter
Yeah, I played it cool
And I'm nobody's fool
When I wake up in the morning
My day belongs to me
When I come home in the evening
My nights belong to me
I feel so free, so dog-gone free
I feel so free, so dog-gone free
Nobody's fool
Yeah, nobody's one and only
Yeah, I guess that's why I'm so lonely
I'm nobody's fool, nobody's fool
Uh, uh, uh, uh
I made this bed that I sleep in
It's the one that I creep in
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Come By Here
03:40
|
|||
|
When the trials of life get you down
And you don't know what to do
I've got the answer all you got to do is say
Oh Lord, come by here
When loved ones turn their backs on you
And you don't know where to go
I promise never to leave you alone
Oh Lord, come by here
Come by here, Come by here
Oh Lord, come by here
I preach the word every Sunday
Sometimes it seems I preach in vain
Gonna keep on preaching and never doubt
Oh Lord, come by here
When the doctor turns his back on you
And you don't know what to do
You just look to the hills which calm your health
Oh Lord, come by here
Come by here, Come by here
Oh Lord, come by here

Alex Chilton Memphis, Tennessee
Alex Chilton was that rare artist who reinvented himself over and over again, often abandoning earlier successful formulas. He ran the gamut: the blue-eyed soul of the Box Tops, the Beatles-meets-Beale Street-high harmony of Big Star, a stint as a ’77 punk provocateur, a co-conspirator in mutant Memphis art rock, and a songster interested in soul and blues tunes, jazz standards and rockabilly. ... more
