Tina Sings ( With Wild Honey and Heritage, Lyrics, 1977)


01 I CAN’T DANCE TO THE MUSIC YOU’RE PLAYIN’

Little Babe
I wanna tell you what’s exactly on my mind
I will stay at home another night
While you’re out makin’ time
I’m well aware of where you go
And every girl you see
Cause whenever I confine you, boy
The phone begins to ring

Chorus:

I can’t dance to the music you’re playin’

Stop, think it over
And rewrite the tune
I can’t dance to the music you’re playin’
You better get yourself together
You’d better do it soon

Last Friday night the phone rang
You said it was little Joe
He had a one night stand to play
Down on cottage road
And you went down prepared to play
You weren’t playin’ with no band
Cause your sax was here at home all night
Behind your music stand

Repeat

I can’t dance , I can’t dance
I can’t dance to what you’re singin’
I can’t dance to what you’re playin’

Repeat

Now if you really love me
Then unpack your bags and stay
Don’t tell me you got to think it over
Got to get away
I’ve taken all the medicine of yours
That I can’t stand
Got to please change the description
Or I’ll find another man

Repeat

02 THERE'S NO STOPPING NOW


There’s no stopping us now
Now we’ve found our way
There’s no stopping us now
Our love is here to stay
Foolishly we’ve been apart
Breaking each other’s heart
Stubborness and foolish pride
Caused us to put love aside

Loneliness we have known
Open up our eyes
To the love that was always there deep inside
Now that we face the unknown
I can’t make it alone
We must be together more now than ever
Now that we’ve found love
We’ve got to hold on, love

Repeat

The precious hours we have lost
We’ll never regain
But together we have known
We’ll push behind
Together forever we’ll make love time
Now we’re in each other’s arm

Nothing can do us harm
Nothing can shake us
Nothing can break us
We’ll be together forever and ever
Together, my darling for ever and ever

Repeat

Never again shall foolish pride

03 PROMISE HONEST


Now that you’re gone
Everything I do seems so wrong
Nothing is the same anymore
Then I’m to blame

Even my toes usually so calm and composed
Arguing to see whether you’ll come back to me
I’m not sad , it’s true
I just pray that you do

Chorus:

And I promise honest never to hurt you again

Cross my heart and I hope to die, please
I don’t care a hoot about this woman’s liberation
All I care about is if you’ll come back to me

And I promise honest never to hurt you again
Even if it means given up my life
Love knows that I care for you darling
In as much as I’d even become your wife

Couldn’t we try
Something in the region of why
Even a glance
I can tell that there’s a chance

All this and more
Some maybe not feeling poor
Brother, like a hen
That’s been led up yet again
All I’m asking you
Me one more chance tOo

04 JACOB’S LADDER

Jacob, lower the ladder
Jacob, pull me free
I can feel I went wrong
And I believe in destiny
My eyes now are open for all the world to see
Gonna climb that fabled ladder until eternity

Lost my way and don’t know where to go
Been inside a place way down below
Seeing pictures in my mind
I ain’t never seen before
Gonna crawl my way out here
Searching for the door

Repeat

Were you ever out on a wild and stormy night
When the wind did blow
And the rain fell out of sight
Trying to find your way back home
While hiding underneath a tree
We’ll that’s the story of my life
So bring togetherly

Pull me free, pull me free
Jacob, pull the ladder, pull me free
Pull me free, pull me free
I said Jacob, lower the ladder, pull me free

Repeat

05 JOE

When my daddy came home
With a bundle under his cloth
And when he opened it up
I felt a lump down in my throat
It was a little puppy from shivering in the snow
I said daddy, daddy
Please call the puppy Joe

Daddy daddy, please call the puppy Joe
I’ll do anything, but please don’t make him go
Daddy, daddy please I love him so
Because he’s not very big
And it’s so cold out in the snow

After a year or so
There was a dog show in town
Well, I gave Joe a wash
Put on a fancy collar I had found
And when the dog down the road won first price
I didn’t care
To me Joe was the champ
There wasn’t any other dog there

Repeat

Years rolled on
Then dad said, I know it’s a pity
But I got a new job
And you can’t keep a dog in the city
I said, daddy , daddy, I got to take Joe
There was a tear in his eye as he said no

Daddy, daddy, please, I’ve got to take Joe
I’ll do anything please don’t make him go
Daddy, daddy, please, I love him so
Because he’s not very big
And it’s so cold out in the snow

Well, we found Joe a home
But I knew he wouldn’t settle down
And it wouldn’t be long
Before Joe was heading to town
But Joe was so old
And the city was such a long way
I guess he stopped for a rest
And he is still resting today

06 BABY DON’T YOU KNOW ANYMORE

Oh baby don’t you know anymore
Baby, don’t you know anymore

I look in your eyes and I get a surprise
I see you don’t know anymore
Nothing that you do is for sure
Could it be that you don’t love me
Nothing I do seems to matter to you
And nothing you say anymore
Gives me the feeling for sure
That you still wanna love me

Oh baby, don’t you know anymore
Baby, don’t you know anymore
Baby, what goes on
When the door is closed behind you
Oh baby, what goes on in your mind
Baby, what goes on in your mind
Baby, don’t you know anymore
What you’re hoping to find

How can a day take you so far away
Tomorrow I could be without you
Give me a sign that you wanna be mine
Cause I doubt you
And where do you go there’s no ego
And what do you do when I’m gone
Maybe you’ll find that you’re wrong
And you still wanna love me

Repeat

07 HE’S MY SUGAR

He’s the kind of guy gonna catch your eye
When you see him walking down the street
Ain’t got no money and he looks a little funny
But his clothes are always nice and neat
I don’t know why he does what he does
When I see him I just melt away
I know for sure that there ain’t no cure
So I’m gonna catch him once each day

He’s my sugar, he’s my sweet
He’s the kind of guy I love to eat
He’s my sugar, he’s my sweet
I want to learn all he can teach

See him wink his eye as he passes by
And the color rushes to my face
I’ll walk that way every single day
Just to get a glimpse of him

The moment I don’t know what to do
I feel I gotta run away
But his heartbeat inside just won’t let me hide
Cause I gotta make him mine someday
Repeat

Sweet, sweet, he’s my sugar
Sweet, sweet, sweet sweet sugar
Sweet, sweet, he’s my sugar
Sweet, sweet, sweet sweet sugar

08 BOULEVARD OF SOUVENIRS

Springtime in Paris, so many memories
Where love first begun
And even though he’s gone away
He’ll always be the one

I walk the boulevard of souvenirs
Imagining that he’s still here
The stairs that led up to his door
The small room on the second floor

The corner café still the same
But no ones seems to know his name
But I remember yesteryear
Along the boulevard of souvenirs

Walk on a Sunday down the Champs Ellyse
Soft candlelight and wine
And hand in hand along the Seine
I thought that he was mine

Repeat

09 SOW THE SEED OF LOVE

So you found yourself another toy
Some poor mother’s only pride and joy
And you took her in your arms
And showed her love, love love
Yes, you took her in your arms and showed her love
Now one day that poor girl’s gonna see
That this new love she’s found could never bee
Cause you use and abuse her
Turn around and loose her
And she’ll be just another toy like me

You gonna reap what you sow
Gather all you grow
Roll the dice, pay the price
That’s the way loves goes
You gonna reap what you sow
Gather all you grow
Sow the seed of love
And then you watched them grow

Repeat
Repeat

10 PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE

Way up there in the stars that shine so bright
People of the universe are watching day and night
Walking down another road of the almighty
Throw down happiness and peace, tranquility

People of the universe are looking in
To take my hand, make this world begin
To live in peace and harmony, it shall begin again
For people of the universe are looking in

Way out there in universe
Beyond a clear blue sky
Looking down on this crazy world,
They must wanna cry
To see the pain and suffering
The way that people die
When they stop and ask themselves,
Who can tell them why

Repeat
