I didn’t know love before I met you
I didn’t realize what love can do
Now you’re crying baby
There’s one thing I can do
I’ll stay and take care of you
I know you’re sad ‘cos you lost your mother
So sad ‘cos you lost your father
We belong to each other baby
And I’ll be true
I’ll stay and take care of you
I’ll be the cover, I’m your lover
I’ll be the breeze to dry your tears
When you wake up in the morning light
Every thing is gonna be alright
I’m right beside you
And I’ll be true
I’ll stay and take care of you
I’ll be the cover, I’m your lover
I’ll be the breeze to dry your tears
When you wake up in the morning light
Every thing is gonna be alright
I’ll be here baby
And I’ll be true
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I’ll stay and take care of you

I'm A Tiger

I’m a tiger, I’m a fighter
I fear nothing, I’m a tiger
I walk the street, I almost stumble
Living in the city, a concrete jungle
I’m a long way, yeah, long long way from home
Mama told me, “Baby, woo, woo, don’t you be no whiner”
“you chose this road and you’re a fighter”
When I see this world growing rougher
All I can do is think of my mother
I think of my dear old mother
I hear the devil whisper in my ear
“Stop what you’re doing and you don’t belong here”
I’m a long way, yeah, long long way to my goal
Mama told me, “Baby, woo, woo, don’t you be no liar”
“you know what you want, you’re a tiger”
I’m a tiger, I’m a fighter
I’m a tiger, I’m a fighter

Jeffery Jive, Jeffery Jive, who dat, who dat?
Jeffery Jive, Jeffery Jive, Jeffery Jive--is a friend of mine
Jeffery Jive, Jeffery Jive, Jeffery Jive--is on my mind
He said, “Change the bad and keep the good”
“Spread your love in the neighborhood”
“You keep sending out the message of love”
“Even when the going gets tough”
He calls me up in the wee wee hour
When I need the superpower
Jeffery Jive knows what I need
When I get tired of the world of greed
He said, “Change the bad and keep the good
“Spread your love in the neighborhood”
“You keep sending out the message of love”
“Even when the going gets tough”

Long Day

I kissed my baby good bye at 3:07 this morning
I’m off to see the Mardi Gras down in New Orleans
It’s gonna be a long day
It’s gonna be a long day
My baby’s sound asleep
Holy cow! I’m sweating like crazy
Down at Logan airport, oh what a drag
It took me forty minutes to check one bag
It’s gonna be a long day
It’s gonna be a long day
My baby’s drinking morning tea
Holy cow! I’m sweating like crazy
I hustled through Bourbon Street like a Tokyo subway ride
By eleven in the morning, I was pretty drunk and high
It’s gonna be a long day
It’s gonna be a long day
My baby’s taking it easy
Holy cow! I’m sweating like crazy
I went to see the Zulu King on Rampart and Dumaine
Colorful floats kept on coming and they never seemed to end
It’s gonna be a long day
It’s gonna be a long day
My baby called me to say Hi
Holy cow! I’m sweating like crazy
I saw some girl on the street taking off her top
In the broad day light, my heart went beep beep bop
It’s gonna be a long day
It’s gonna be a long day
I thought of my baby
Holy cow! I’m sweating like crazy
Fat Tuesday is gone, but the party is still on
I guess I’m gonna stay up until the break of dawn
It’s been a real long day
It’s been a real long day
It’s been a real long day
Holy cow! I think I’m gone crazy
I finally caught the flight back to Beantown
I was looking for my baby, but she was not around
Oh another long day
Oh another long day
Anybody seen my baby?
I’m totally beat! HOLY COW!
