@ALBUM: fore Huey Lewis And The News FORE! @SONG: Jacob's Ladder I met a fan dancer Down in South Side Birmingham She was running from a fat man Selling salvation in his hand Now he's trying to save me We'll I'm doing alright the best that I can Just another fallen angel Trying to get through the night Step by step, one by one, higher and higher Step by step, rung by rung climbing Jacob's ladder Coming over the airwaves The man says I'm overdue Sing along, send some money Join the chosen few Well mister I'm not in a hurry And I don't want to be like you And all I want from tomorrow Is to get it better than today Step by step, one by one, higher and higher Step by step, rung by rung climbing Jacob's ladder @SONG: Stuck With You We've had some fun, and yes we've had our ups and downs Been down that rocky road, but here we are, still around Thought about someone else, bu neither one could debate Thought about breaking up, but now we know it's much too late We are bound by all the rest Like the same phone number All the same friends And the same address Yes, it's true, I'm happy to be stuck with you Yes, it's true, I'm happy to be stuck with you Because I can see that you're happy to be stuck with me We've had our doubts, but we never took them seriously And we've had our ins and outs, but that's the way it's supposed to be Thought about giving up, but we could never stay away Thought about breaking up, but now we know it's much too late And it's no great mystery If we change our minds Eventually, it's back to you and me @SONG: Whole Lotta' Lovin' I'm tired of these girlie magazines I want to stop dreamin', and get back home to the real thing Late last night I read the letter you sent Woke up this morning, under a tent Uh huh, we've got a whole lotta lovin' to do My mini bar's empty, but I'm still alive I'm all alone but my bed's big enough for a party of five Tossing and turning until a quarter to three Can't get to sleep without watching TV Uh huh, we've got a whole lotta lovin' to do. Oh it's been weeks since I've seen you, I'm hoping that you mean it When you tell me that you understand But there's one little thing that I'm worried about I hope that you remember who I am [I'm the one with the harmonica] Everybody else is holding hands I'm here lonely, playing around with my microphone stand But I'm coming home, only one more week The first three days we won't get no sleep Uh huh, we've got a whole lotta lovin' to do. @SONG: Doing It All For My Baby Early in the morning, I'm still in bed She comes to me with sweet affection Wakes me with kisses, "Hello sleepyhead." Gets me moving in the right direction I do my best to give her love that lasts forever It seems like everythiung I do I'm doing better Doing it all for my baby Because she's as fine as she can be Doing it all for my baby For everything she does for me Later in the evening, it's been a busy day She lays her head upon my weary shoulder Listen to her laughing, snuggle up and say Now I'm with you baby, the loneliness is over I do my best to give her love that lasts forever It seems like everything I do I'm doing better Doing it all for my baby Because she's as fine as she can be Doing it all for my baby For everything she does for me @SONG: Hip To Be Square I used to be a renegade, I used to fool around But I couldn't take the punishment, and had to settle down Now I'm playing it real straight, and yes I cut my hair You might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care Because I can tell what's going on It's hip to be square I like my bands in business suits, I watch them on TV I'm working out most everyday and watching what I eat They tell me that it's good for me, but I don't even car I know that it's crazy I know that it's nowhere But tehre is no denying that It's hip to be square It's not too hard to figure out, you see it everyday And those that were the farthest out have gone the other way You see them on the freeway, It don't look like a lot of fun But don't you try to fight it; "An idea who's time has come." Don't tell me that I'm crazy Don't tell me I'm nowhere Take it from me It's hip to be square @SONG: I Know What I Like I like things that go fast Because I know that good things don't ever last I like believeing in what I want to Don't like no one to tell me what to do And I like the times that we've had But I cound't tell you what's good or bad I'm only hoping that you understand This feeling that I'm feeling when I'm holding your hand I know what I like I know what I like to do I know what I like, well what about you? I like the sound of breaking glass And if you don't believe me, why do you ask? I like leaving town, and coming back home I'm going to show you, when we're all alone I like staying up all night Watching old movies 'til the morning light I don't pretend to know what's right or wrong But I won't like leaving, if I stay here too long I know what I like I know what I like to do I know what I like, well what about you? I like things that don't change Because the more something changes, the more it stays the same I might be simple, take it easy sometimes But I can be stubborn when I've made up my mind I know what I like I know what I like to do I know what I like, well what about you? @SONG: I Never Walk Alone I remember our old neighborhood Everyone there, they understood You could wind up stranded in the lost and found So you better stick together if you want to stick around Now me and the boys got our own little plan Somebody out there will understand And we'll have the world in the palm of our had I never walk alone, I never walk alone It isn't what you've got it's who you know We take that with us wherever we go We stick together and we have our fun You know we're taking our days one by one And when there's trouble in my face I'm a tired runner in the human race It's so good to see a familiar face I never walk alone, I never walk alone @SONG: Forest For The Trees When you're a young man, down and out You really need someone to help you out It looks like life or death is your only choice It's really hard to see The forest for the trees The forest for the trees And when you get angry and everything's black or white You should know that it isn't that simple, no one's always right You know that youre life it worth living You gotta start taking if no one else is giving And if you're not afraid to open your eyes You may be pleasantly surprised Thigs are never as bad as they seem You just gotta learn to see The forest for the trees So if you need somebody, tell them please If you want someone, get up off your knees Things are never as bad as they seem You just gotta learn to see The forest for the trees @SONG: Naturally All the birds have been blue They don't know what to do Ever since you said goodbye to me And the flowers in their gloom, have just refused to bloom Cause we all want you back, you see All the birds have been blue They don't know what to do Ever since you said goodbye to me And the flowers in their gloom, have just refused to bloom Cause we all want you back, you see And even mister moon Is left without a tune And his shadow has lost the harmony So don't waste any time Come back and change your mind And everything will work out Naturally You know that love is a struggle And only the strong survive So it's up to me and you To do what we've got to do To keep our love alive And the bees have been gone And they know that something's wrong Because they don't feel like buzzing at all And the starts up in the sky, all they do it cry And that's why the rain must fall And the early morning sun He knows that you're the one And we both miss your company So don't waste any time Come back and change your mind You know that love is a struggle And only the strong survive So it's up to me and you To do what we've got to do To keep our love alive So don't waste any time Come back and change your mind We'll be singing harmonies With the birds and bees If only you'll be mine Things will work out find Naturally @SONG: Simple As That You go to work, work hard all day At the end of the week, you collect your pay That's just where it's at It's as simple as that You pay your bills the best that you can But the rising cost sure hurts a family man While the rich man gets fat it's as simple as that And the money goes so fast it ain't funny Your mind's made up to get that house on the hill But you just don't know if you ever will Because you can't get the cash It's as simple as that Cause the man from the bank, he won't give you a loan Without putting a morgage on all that you own A tit for a tat It's a simple as that And the money goes so fast it ain't funny Before you know it the kids are all grown And married off with kids of their own And it's all in the past It's as simple as that You've reached the autumn of your life And all that's left is you and your wife And a dog and a cat It's as simple as that And the money goes so fast it ain't funny
