Artist: Rick Vito Album: King of Hearts WALK ANOTHER MILE ----------------- Johnny was a jockey, he really knew how to ride He was the king of hearts with a queen by his side But darkness fell too soon one day uptown Somebody couldn't feel his love and so he shot poor Johnny down (He's got to) walk another mile Walk on, walk on (He's got to) walk another mile Walk on, walk on Sometimes it's hard to find a smile (walk on, walk on) Before you get your reward you got to walk another mile Walk on I saw a woman in love standing in the rain She wore a ribbon of blues, she could not hide her pain 'Cause the man she loved had to move along Leaving all his little children behind to sing his song (She's got to) walk another mile Walk on, walk on (She's got to) walk another mile Walk on, walk on Sometimes it's hard to find a smile (walk on, walk on) Before you get your reward you got to walk another mile Walk on Some walk a mile as a beggar man Some walk a mile as a king Some ride in style, some crawl on the ground But one thing's for sure, man, it all comes around I can't remember for sure, but I believe what they say That after you leave you travel home again some day And the road is long with no end in sight But you'll keep coming back until the wrongs are made right (You got to) walk another mile Walk on, walk on (You got to) walk another mile Walk on, walk on Sometimes it's hard to find a smile (walk on, walk on) Before you get your reward you got to walk another mile Walk on I'LL NEVER LEAVE THIS LOVE ALIVE -------------------------------- We loved each other such a long, long time It was so good, I was yours and you were mine But baby, something happened along the way I saw a change come over you like night and day Now it's killing me to know someone else is loving you My heart is turning black and blue I'll never leave this love alive I'll never leave this love alive, oh no And if you break my heart again I know I'll die I'll never leave this love alive Now, you don't know what goes through my mind But every day my love gets lost in time And every night I have the strangest dream It gives me chills how real it seems I'm high up on a ledge, my back against the wall You whisper, "Jump," and then I fall [Chorus] Spare me the details, baby There ain't nothing good left to say Don't your conscience ever bother you To see me on my knees this way [Chorus] DESIREE ------- Eyes of black and skin so white She moves so easily in through the night You feel her power, she takes yours away With your heart and soul you'll give her anything she says Mother tell son, "Only true love waits" But he won't hear the warning till it's far too late And mama says... Desiree will break your heart Her rhythm and blues will tear you all apart, son Desiree will break your heart And you can't kick the habit once she makes it start, son She's the one who practiced the art She's gonna break your heart Silhouette against a fading sky Queen of fools, all prepared to die She whispers maigic, she smiles a dream You think it must be love but it ain't what it seems Miles from nowhere with no place to stay She'll leave you stranded all alone out on the lost highway And mama says... [Chorus] The wind cries, a girl's voice sings You turn to see her, but don't find a thing Ain't nothing left but your foolish desire And the cold all around will not cool this fire Mother tell son, "For true love you must wait" But he won't hear the warning until it's far too late And mama says... [Chorus] HONEY LOVE ---------- Gimme all your honey love I wanna sting and I just can't stop Gimme all your honey love I wanna shake up every drop Honey, honey, honey, gimme all your honey love Honey, honey, honey, gimme all your honey love Well I feel like a busy bee A-buzzin' all around your hive (If you) gimme just one sweet kiss Your love makes me come alive C'mon honey don't fly away I need to buss with you every day [Chorus] A-well I see 'em all buzzin' around Makin' bug eyes at you They don't know you're my queen bee, baby They won't sting you like I do Buzz baby, make up your mind Don't pretend to be innocent kind Ooh, sweeter than a honey bee Ooh, baby, don't you wanna buzz with me? Honey, won't you buzz with me? Honey, honey, honey, gimme all your honey love Honey, honey, honey, gimme all your honey love Ooh, baby, gimme all your honey love I STILL HAVE MY GUITAR ---------------------- You've taken your love and gone away And the promises spoken were for yesterday Well, you won't see me cry Or falling all apart 'Cause it's all right I still have my guitar I've heard you sing, and heard you cry But I just don't understand this strange goodbye I'll never let you see what you're doing to my heart I will be all right I still have my guitar Shadows and rain fall across my mind But she's always there and we make love every time No, she's not like you She's stayed by my side Faithful and true Don't let me hear you've been asking about me Introducing new concern for your old used-to-be No, don't worry about me No matter who you think you are I will be all right I still have my guitar No, don't you worry about me Or this aching in my heart 'Cause it's all right I still have my guitar I still have my guitar POOR SOULS IN LOVE ------------------ Bless me, Father, I have sinned I broke her heart Feels like so long now Since I tore us apart And I'm heartly sorry for what I've done 'Cause I dread the loss of heaven And the pain of losing her love Oh, I'm down on my knees Offer it up to the poor souls in love Oh, I'm praying, please (baby) Offer it up to the poor souls in love Poor souls in love Now I lay me down to sleep But there's no use trying Pray the Lord my soul to keep Still I feel I'm dying If I do before I wake (Tell me) would she cry? Would she care to know now Or even wonder why? [Chorus] She's in a state of grace She knows what I must learn Heaven is here on earth But if I lose her I will burn [Chorus] KNOCK ME DOWN ------------- I knew when I saw you I'd soon take a fall You'd have me on my knees but I wouldn't mind at all You knocked me right out, but it was bliss I'm tough enough to know better but still too weak to resist So go ahead, take your best shot Knock me down and love me Help yourself to a piece of my heart Knock me down and love me I don't care if you take me apart Because you're just so fine I don't mind If you knock, knock me down and love me Knock me down and love me I ain't got the sense to come in out of the rain 'Cause a fool in love always loves the pain I could have been a contender 'till you walked through the door Now I'm down on my knees but I still want more I give up, baby you win [Chorus] Now, sticks an stones may break my bones Well you can take my love but just don't leave me alone I know this game, I'm bound to lose But honey I ain't cryin' the blues [Chorus] WALKING WITH THE DECO MAN ------------------------- [Instrumental] INTUITION --------- I can hold you in my arms If I'm a thousand miles away And I can know what's on your mind Without you having a word to say Oh, don't turn back now Oh, don't try and figure how It's stronger now than me or you Clearer than we ever knew Intuition, I trust that it's right Intuition, has me loving you tonight Intuition, says that it's true Intuition, I know you're feeling it too (There) ain't no need for suspicion (ain't no act of contrition) I trust this intuition It might be hard to understand Not an easy thing to say I never felt like this before Or loved in such a powerful way Oh, there's no turning aside Oh no, no reason to hide Everything will be all right If we only hold on tight [Chorus] TWO HEARTS ON FIRE ------------------ Staring into space, my mind's in a cloud Something's got a hold on me, and I'm crying out loud Then I wake up from a dream and call your name Your memory's not the same Two hearts on fire burn brighter than one Two hearts on fire burn brighter than one My love's desire, but your love is on the run (Remember) two hearts on fire burn brighter than one I hear voices speak, "Don't let her slip away" Baby I didn't realize what you were trying to say But now I've opened up my eyes to love that's really true But if you don't come back home, baby I don't know what I'm gonna do [Chorus] Night has fallen, again I'm alone And I'm feeling so afraid you love I'll never own Then from out of the darkness, feel my love light shine If I can make you see it, I can leave these blues behind (Remember) [Chorus]
