18 Til I Die
Album - 4 giugno 1996 - Debaser id 29527

Well I don't look good in no Armani suits,
No Gucci shoes - or designer boots,
I've tried the latest lines from A to Z,
But there's just one thing that looks good on me.

The only thing I want,
The only thing I need,
The only thing I choose,
The only thing that looks good on me - Is you.

I'm not satisfied with Versace style,
Put those patent leather pants - in the circular file,
Sometimes I think - I might be lookin' good,
But there's only one thing that fits like it should.

The only thing I want,
The only thing I need,
The only thing I choose,
The only thing that looks good on me - Is you.

Yeah it's you - it could only be you,
Nobody else will ever do,
Ya baby it's you - that I stick to,
Ya we stick like glue.

The only thing I want,
The only thing I need,
The only thing I choose,
Yeah - The only thing that looks good on me - Is you.

The only thing I want - Yeah,
The only thing I need,
The only thing I choose,
Yeah - The only thing that looks good on me - Is you.

What'cha wanna be - when you grow up,
What'cha gonna do - when your time is up,
What'cha gonna say - when things go wrong,
What'cha gonna do - when you're on your own.

There's a road - long and winding.
The lights are blindin' - but it gets there,
Don't give up - don't look back,
There's a silver linin' - It's out there somewhere.

Everybody wants an answer - Everybody needs a friend,
We all need a shinin' star on which we can depend,
So tonight we're gonna wish upon a star,
We never wished upon before,
(To find what we're looking for.)

There'll be times - In your life,
Yeah - When you'll be dancin' n' shit - But you ain't gettin' it,
But don't get disillusioned - No, don't expect too much,
'Cause if what you have is all you can get - Just keep on trying,
It just ain't happened yet.

Everybody wants to be a winner - Everybody has a dream,
We all need a shinin' star when things ain't what they seem.
So tonight we're gonna wish upon a star,
We never wished upon before,
(Gotta get where you're headed for.)

Everybody wants some kindness - Everybody needs a break,
We all need a shinin' star when things get hard to take,
So tonight we're gonna wish upon a star,
We never wished upon before,
Yeah - Tonight we're gonna wish upon a star,
We've never wished upon before.

Gotta find what you're lookin' for,
So don't get disillusioned,
No, don't expect to much,
Yeah - It's out there somewhere babe.

I swear to you - I will always be there for you - There's nothin' I won't do,
I promise you - All my life I will live for you - We will make it through.

Forever - We will be,
Together - You and me,
Oh and when I hold ya - Nothin' can compare,
With all of my heart - Ya know I'll always be right there.

I believe in us - Nothin' else could ever mean so much,
You're the one I trust,
Our time has come - We're not two people now we are one,
Yeah you're second to none.

Forever - We will be,
Together - A family,
The more I get to know ya - Nothin' can compare,
With all of my heart - Ya know I'll always be right there.

Forever - We will be,
Together - Oh just you and me,
The more I get to know ya - The more I really care,
With all of my heart - Ya know I'll always be,
Ya know I really love ya - Nothin' can compare,
For all of my life - Ya know I'll always be,
Right there.

Deep down in Mississippi,
I found my sweet delta blues,
She weaved a little Southern spell on me,
Made a little voodoo.

She was born the bright side of midnight,
When her mama was seventeen,
She was a hot blooded - God fearin' - Gospel girl,
The finest that I ever seen - Oh.

She's black coffee - Little bit of cream,
Sweet brown sugar - My midnight dream.

Black pearl - Yeah my kinda girl,
Just the kind of thing to rock my world,
Black pearl - Oh my kinda girl - Yeah.

Met her in a dixie diner,
Put on the Southern hospitality,
I can still smell her sweet molasses,
Running all over me.

We started rollin' like the river,
Like a twister tearin' through the town,
Tongue tied - satisfied - 'n Southern fried,
As she drove this ol' dixie down.

She's black coffee - Little bit of cream,
Sweet brown sugar - My midnight dream.

Black pearl - My kinda girl,
Just the kind of thing to rock my world,
Black pearl - She's my kinda girl - Yeah.

Yeah - She's alright - Yeah - She's ok,
Makin' love night - Yeah - Really made my day.

She was born the bright side of midnight,
When her mama was seventeen - Yeah,
She was a hot blooded - God fearin' - Gospel girl,
The finest that I ever seen - Yeah baby.

She's black coffee - Little bit of cream,
Sweet brown sugar - My midnight dream.

(Hey, hey.)

Black pearl - My kinda girl,
Just the kind of thing to rock my world,
Black pearl - Oh my kinda girl.
