Ladies love chest rockwell

People want to know what's the secret to chest rockwell's
Ability to pick up all these beautiful women
Is it your good looks ?
Is it that big bulge in your pants ?
Could be that fancy car you drive ?
That i lease and change every other year, but
You don't need to know that
I say look
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret
My man nathaniel merriweather, you know
A little running buddy from handsome boy modelling school
Made this thing called
Music to make to your old lady by
Barry white used to work
Shoot, even abba used to work the way i was doin' my thing
But man, you put this on
And the hos just go wild
I'm telling you
Music to make to your old lady by
You know, you tried cognac
Even tried givin' her some weed
Shoot, you might've even tried ecstasy
But ain't no sheer ecstasy until you try
Music to make to your old lady by

Pit stop (take me home)

I was driving
In my car
Late at night
All alone

Then he stopped me
Asked me for a ride
There you were
On your own

Now ask me why do I feel my heart's on fire ask me
Why do I feel this strange desire
Ask me why do I feel like i'm falling, falling

Take me home
What a wonderful way to go
Take me home
What a wonderful way to go

Licking your greasy spoon
Jukebox playing my tune
Making out in your room
Blowing up your balloon
Playing you like a bassoon
But if I only knew
Where we were driving to
I wouldn't have let you fill my tank

I pulled in
To your truck stop and i'm
Sleeping on the asphalt eighteen
Wheelin' and siphon gas
And I'm feeling you're my big 10-4

Now ask me why do I feel my heart's on fire ask me
Why do i feel this strange desire ask me
Why do i feel like i'm falling, falling

Take me home
What a wonderful way to go
Take me home
What a wonderful way to go

Take me home
What a wonderful way to go
Take me home
What a wonderful way to go

Take me home
What a wonderful way to go
Take me home
What a wonderful way to go

Anger management

My inner demons compel me to be here
Your cheeks are flush like rose petals
You're consumed with rage but I'm consumed with you

Our eyes intertwine through the haze
Intoxicated by your bloodshot stare
In all of my dreams I never thought i'd see
A face that could launch a thousand ships

And the music was like wind in your hair
The moonlight caressed your silhouette
Kiss of ocean mist is in the air
Why must God punish me this way

Lay down my hand the next move is yours
As you undress me with your frozen eyes
In all of my dreams I never thought I'd see
An endless love to share my blue lagoon

And the music was like wind in your hair
The moonlight caressed your silhouette
Kiss of ocean mist is in the air
Why must God punish me this way

Happiness is hard to come by
But I've had my fair share
The satin sheets, the lemon peels
The minor keys, the major pills
We've climbed the mountain, saw the top
And planted the apple seed
And can't you see we could've had it all

And the music was like wind in your hair
The moonlight caressed your silhouette
Kiss of ocean mist is in the air
Why must God punish me this way

And the music was like wind in your hair
The moonlight caressed your silhouette
Kiss of ocean mist is in the air
Why must God punish me this way
Why must God punish me this way
This way, this way, this way ...

Everyone has a summer

When a man needs a woman's love so much
It can be a beautiful love story
But not all love is beautiful
This is the strangest music to make love to
Passion filled rendezvous
Heart wrenching goodbyes
A memory of love
This is the way I always wanted it to be like
It won't be
Not, Not as long
As long as you insisted on living in the past
Cause that's pain
You dig
I don't care how cool you are
We got to work together
Thought we'd be forever
It takes so many things to make love last
But most of all it takes respect
And I can't live with a man I don't respect.
No wonder you're upset
She's lovely
What is love
Darling figure
Rob is quite the man about town
There's one song in particular he used in his romantic umm
Campaign
The phone bill is going to be enormous you know that
Everyone has a summer they want to remember
Thought we'd be forever

*** Thanx a lot to Tiffany & Jodi for this one ***

To catch a thief

I feel that you shouldn't get involved in an intimate relationship
Until you are emotionally mature enough to handle it totally
Able to cope with your feelings and your sexuality
Without guilt, inhabition or phoniness
But with love, tenderness and honesty

Things were disappearing
I my neighborhood
Once again somebody
Was up to no good
I saw that you were wanted
But not like I wanted you
And that's when I knew I had to be with you
And that's when I knew if i didn't i'd be through
To end my grief i'd have to catch a thief
Your love was my relief my love is your release

Come into my window
It's open every night
That's where i'll be waiting
I'll keep off all the lights
I'm lying on my bed
Crown jewels on my head

I'd never give you up
So come in from the cold let your hair down
I'd hide you from the cops
Don't be frightened now my love
I'll take the life of crime
All to make you mine

Come in off that roof top
You're so handsome dressed in black
See you in the shadows
I'd like to see you on your back
Take this precious treasure
And i will treasure you

We'll run away my dear
Some place special have no fear
We'll even change our names
We'll be kinky, we'll be strange
I'll take the life of crime
All to make you mine
All to catch a thief
Your love was my relief my love is your release
Your love was my relief my love is your release
All to catch a thief

Lies and Alibis

Lies and alibis ...

Herbs, good hygiene & socks

I don't dig a lot of the establishment
Well, your ideas and values
They may work for you but
They don't all work for me
As far as i'm concerned
Some are with it and well some aren't

Hmm, that's a hard one to say
It's hard to say, I'd say
Well wash your ass every day
Wash your whole body every day
And brush your breath at least 2 or 3 times a day
With your teef and then you know, wash the face

Do any of these things prevent venereal disease, besides the rubbers ?

Carry some of your herbal or salt or pepper around in your pocket
Stuff, it opens up in your pocket and gets mixed up with your lint cotton
Or mess with the flavour 'cause when you take the herb and put it in your mouth
Then you gonna be eatin' somethin' then you got little strings of lint pullin' on your teeth
So you just take it out and use the string for flossin'

That's...that's far out
What do you feel is the best way to
To keep from getting a, a chick pregnant?
I mean...i mean, what do you do?

Well, you need different pairs of socks
You know, some times you need the coloured socks
That's if you're gonna wear one pair of socks to hide your dirt
Then every, every, every other couple of days I mean, you wear the white sock
You can wear them probably 1 or 2 days
Until you try to walk aroun' an' they get caught in the carpet
Then the dirt used up from the carpet gets up into your sock
Then you get the little black spots on the side
Or you can go and you get, you know, the different types
There's other types of socks that's made for shoes
But then they get funky and your feet start sweatin' and stuff
Or you can get sweat socks that grab the sweat so they won't be funk
And you get the powder into put it in so you won't get the funk or the funky feet
Or that little feet and the stink is you have to be the funk
Cuz when you die you go back to the funk
And if you got sock funk you got to be funky cuz it stinkin
Or something ran up in your ass and just died

*** Thanx a lot to NSS for this one ***

Book of the month

You and me are the disease and the germs are spreading
Use me like listerine, keeping your breath fresher
Feel the stroke of your paintbrush, my blank sheet of paper
I'm your book of the month, read the fine print later

We'll invent new four letter words
You are the bitter, I am the sweet
Run through the fields, sing with the birds
You are the griddle, I am the meat

I'll turn you on like the electric company
You are the bitter, I am the sweet
Flick on the switch and light your pilot light
You are the griddle, I am the meat

You and me are the disease and the germs are spreading
Use me like listerine, keeping your breath fresher
Feel the stroke of your paintbrush, my blank sheet of paper
I'm your book of the month, read the fine print later

We'll laugh away our golden years
You are the bitter, I am the sweet
We'll line the clouds with silver tears
You are the griddle, I am the meat

You and me are the disease and the germs are spreading
Use me like listerine, keeping your breath fresher
Feel the stroke of your paintbrush, my blank sheet of paper
I'm your book of the month, read the fine print later

You and me are the disease and the germs are spreading
Use me like listerine, keeping your breath fresher
Feel the stroke of your paintbrush, my blank sheet of paper
I'm your book of the month, read the fine print later

You are the bitter, I am the sweet
You are the griddle, I am the meat
You are the trick, I am the treat
You are the circus, I am the freak

You are the bitter, I am the sweet
You are the griddle, I am the meat
You are the trick, I am the treat
You are the circus, I am the freak

Lifeboat

After all our dreams went down
Sinking for our very eyes
Still echoing the sound
Oh the frozen dreadful cries

Witnessed the passing of our only loves
Lose a battle to the sea
Why did you choose my only love
It could of easily been me

But it seems there was some other plan
One I don't care to understand
In the refuge of these foreign arms
I could find your holy land

How can it be that we defy this tragedy
From this lifeboat in the dark
Is it wrong that we could come together
Wind and sorrow bear a spark

In our soul and desperation
Truest thing we'd ever known
But to admit that to the world would be blasphemy
Just to show we had our ground

How can it be that we defy this tragedy
From this lifeboat in the dark
Is it wrong that we could come together
Wind and sorrow bear a spark

How can it be that we defy this tragedy
From this lifeboat in the dark
Is it wrong that we could come together
Wind and sorrow bear a spark

How can it be that we defy this tragedy
From this lifeboat in the dark
Is it wrong that we could come together
Wind and sorrow bear a spark

*** Thanx a lot to Chogu & Amanda for this one ***

Strangers on a train

Pardon me sir
Is this seat taken
I overheard you say
Not stirred but shaken
And I could really throw one back

Such a thirst doesn't always permit
Forward tact
So, if you would sir
Pardon me
A stiff one is my specialty

Strangers on a train
Strangers on a train

Oh, you're very charming Sir
Now here's to you
I don't want to know your name
Or what you do
I know, here's to strangers on a train
Strangers on a train

Oh, I think we're going faster
From the mount to the pasture
Just look at that scenery
It's lovely
It's lovely

I really like to ride the train
Especially when I forget where I'm going
I really like the way it feels
The motion of the wheels

As the raging sparks are flying
From the wounded rails still crying
Battling the scenery
It's lovely, it's lovely
It's lovely, it's lovely

I really like to ride the train
Especially when i forget where i'm going
I really like the way it feels
The motion of the wheels

Mountain, meadow
Oh, I.. I'd better go
This is my station, you know
I've had a lovely time
Oh the pleasure's mine
All mine

Lovage (love that lovage, baby)

I love that lovage, baby
I love that lovage, baby

Old english lovage alcoholic cordial
Savour the old english cordial originally distilled
From devon herbs and spices
Using the secret recipe handed down through generations
And still one of devon's most popular imbibes
Traditionally drunk two parts lovage to one part brandy
As a soothing winter warmer, but if you want something a little more explicit
We recommend two parts Hennessy to one part lovage
Enjoy, baby

I love that lovage, baby

*** Thanx a lot to Bettejuice who corrected a mistake ***

Sex (i'm a)

Dan, I need you now
Ok Mikey, come
Feel the fire
Feel my love inside you so bright

There's a sound and the smell of love on my mind
I'm a toy
Come and play with me, say work now
Wrap your legs
Around me ride me tonight
Sex, sex, sex

I'm a man
I'm a goddess
I'm a man
I'm a virgin
I'm a man
I'm a blue movie
I'm a man
I'm a bitch
I'm a man
I'm a geisha
I'm a man
I'm a little girl
I'm a man
And we'll make love together

Why does man go to hooker
First of all because
He quite often is not all that happy and sexual satisfied at home
His wife won't perform all the activities he has in mind
And most of all, oral sex is a taboo
The woman would say 'what do you think I am, a whore
I don't want to do that

Slip and slide when you're wet you like to feel the blood flow
Not to fast
Don't be slow my love's in your hands

I'm a man
I'm a boy
I'm a man
I'm you're mother
I'm a man
I'm a one night stand
I'm a man
I am a bi
I'm a man
I'm your slave
I'm a man
I'm a little girl
I'm a man
And we'll make love together

Most of them come to a hooker and say
My wife oh my wife is she dead in bed
She's frigid, cold as a starfish
They take off the pants
And their underpants
There's nothing more ridiculous than a guy with his party socks on
He dives into the bedroom
He says "Do me!", suck it !

Skin to skin
Honey hold tight
Come inside it's a passion play just for you
Let's get lost in the magic place alone now
Drink your fill from a fountain of love wet your lips

I'm a man
I'm a teaser
I'm a man
I'm a virgin
I'm man
I'm a one night stand
I'm a man
I'm a drug
I'm a man
I'm your slave
I'm a man
I'm a dream to find
I'm a man
And we'll make love together

I'm a man
I'm a goddess
I'm a man
I'm a hooker
I'm a man
I'm a blue movie
I'm a man
I'm a slut
I'm a man
Well i'm your babe
I'm a man
I'm a dream to find
I'm a man
And we'll make love together

We'll make love together
We'll make love together
We'll make love together
We'll make love together

Fuckin piece of shit
One little two little three little indians
Suck it firehose

*** Thanx a lot to Daniel & Kiva & NSS & Nancy & Amy for this one ***

Tea Time with Maseo

I said to her
Face reality
Why can't you face the truth

And that ain't nothing but another name
For Hennessey

It's happening every day
And what is she gonna do about it
She's just one person against all of us

It looks rough and grimy and grungy
Maybe a little bit more bleach
Maybe some more Woolite
Will help give it a whiter
Fresher smell

'Cause music is my whole life
I took
(Me...)
Singing lessons
Guitar lessons
Dancing lessons
Tap dancing lessons
(Yeah, it's mine)
I tried to learn how to play the drums
I took piano lessons
But I, I revolve around music!
And the people associated with it
And that means all the cute boys

Sorry, I don't, really, I don't
I don't have much technique at all
A big gallon of ketchup
Heinz ketchup
It's not so fatty on the meat
And um, it's juicy
And they have this Mu Shu sauce that goes very well
It's very zesty, and
Sweet

He's really crazy
He's really horny
"Randy" is what they call it
Randy?
Randy
He's puny too!
He's
Those English dudes are so kinky!
God, Jimmy loves being beaten!

As for me, I'm known
For sweating pretty hard
If I don't wear any socks with my shoes
It's important for me
To put some baby powder in my shoes
To keep my shoes nice and fresh and clean
And smelling good

*** Thanx a lot to Zyllah for this one ***

Stroker ace

Monsieur Dan
Can I come with you
As you both look awfully kind

Sadly he and me are through
Let me tell you what i've got in mind
I'll sing to you my mewing charm
Looks like you both could use a pet
And purr my purr all night long
I think a pussy's your best bet

Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking is the antidote
Stroke that, it's a start
Only for the wild at heart
Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking is the antidote
Stroke that shiny coat
Stoking's what it's all about

My tail alone could tell you tales
It's got a life all of its own
Watch it move just like a sail
Sail you to the twilight zone
I love to lap a spot cream
And i assure you that i'm neat
But you never know what you can expect
When the pussy is in heat

Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking is the antidote
Stroke that, it's a start
Only for the wild at heart
Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking is the antidote
Stroke that shiny coat
Stoking's what it's all about

I like to watch, if you don't mind
Every sphinx knows how to pass the time
Your little love nest suits me well
Let me show you how to cast a spell

Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking is the antidote
Stroke that it's a start
Only for the wild at heart
Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking is the antidote
Stroke that shiny coat
Stoking's what it's all about

Archie & veronica

Flowers on your grave
I never loved you
Flowers on your grave
I never touched you
I'll bet that you're there
Never knew you cared
Flowers on your grave

Little buttercups and wild daizies
By the lilly pond, remember baby
Blowing dandeliens, my only wish was you

Sitting on a cold slab
Feeling my warm stab
You know I'll be missing you
That's why i'm kissing you

Flowers on your grave
I never loved you
Flowers on your grave
I never touched you
I paid my respects
Too little too late
Flowers on your grave

Little buttercups and wild daizies,
By the lilly pond, remember baby
Blowing dandeliens, my only wish was you

I look funny all dressed in black
My wet hankerchief won't bring you back
Now there lowering down
You feel me from underground

Flowers on your grave
I never loved you
Flowers on your grave
I never touched you
I'll bet that you're there
Never knew you cared
Flowers on your grave

Little buttercups and wild daizies
By the lilly pond, remember baby
Blowing dandeliens, my only wish was you

You are the lucky one
I hope you've had your fun
For all those nights I set you free
Tonight you'll remember me

Flowers on your grave
I never loved you
Flowers on your grave
I never touched you
I paid my respects
Too little too late
Flowers on your grave

Jealous of the flies and the worms inside me
Jealous of the flies and the worms inside me
Jealous of the flies and the worms inside me
Jealous of the flies and the worms inside me

I'm Real

(Jennifer Lopez feat. Ja Rule cover, House of Blues, Chicago 2002-01-13)

What's my motherfuckin' name?
To bring pain to pussy niggaz and pussy hoes, it's one in the same

I met so many men and
It's like their all the same
My appetite for lovin'
Is now my hunger pain

Tired of bein' alone
Yeah, yeah
Sick of arguin on the phone
Yeah, yeah
Are you tellin' all your friends
Yeah, yeah
That your nigga don't understand
My love

Cause I'm real
The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk
Cause I'm real
The way you stare, the way you look, your style, your hair
Cause I'm real
The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild
Cause I'm real
And I can't go on without you

Hard lovin' and straight thuggin'
Bitch, I ain't doin' this shit for nuttin'
I'm here to get it poppin', hoppin, let's ride up in the Benz
Hair blowin' in the wind, sun glistenin' off my skin

Now people lovin' me and hatin' me, treatin' me ungratefully
But not knowin' that they ain't makin' me or breakin' me
My life I live it to the limit and I love it
Now I can breathe again, baby, now I can breathe again

Tired of bein' alone
Yeah, yeah
Sick of arguin on the phone
Yeah, yeah
Are you tellin' all your friends
Yeah, yeah
That your nigga don't understand
My love

Cause I'm real
The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk
Cause I'm real
The way you stare, the way you look, your style, your hair
Cause I'm real
The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild
Cause I'm real
And I can't go on without you
