See that boy walking down the street 
Thinks he`s tough but he smiles so sweet 
Snakeskin boots and a baseball cap 
Bet you`d like to meet a boy like that 

He`s a little crazy he`s a little loud 
He loves to do what ain`t allowed 
And he might talk too slow and drive too fast 
But he`d do any little thing I ask cause 

That`s my baby 
That`s my baby 
That`s my diamond in the rough 
But I can make him shine with my sweet love 
That`s my baby 

He`s a rebel wild and free 
My mama says he ain`t right for me 
Daddy prays he`s just a phase I`m going through 
But one of these days their gonna love him too `cause 

That`s my baby 
That`s my baby 
That`s my diamond in the rough 
But I can make him shine with my sweet love 
That`s my baby 

He ain`t no angel he ain`t no saint 
But I don`t worry `bout what he ain`t 
`Cause what he is, is something fine 
And he lets me know that he`s mine all mine 

That`s my baby 
That`s my baby 
That`s my diamond in the rough 
But I can make him shine with my sweet love 
That`s my baby

 

Itty Bitty Little Single Solitary Piece Of My Heart

Lari White, John Rotch

I know what it is you`re tryin` 
When you`re tryin` to be so cool 
Everywhere you go you`re a Romeo 
With a smile and a line so smooth 

But the trail of hearts lying in your wake 
It looks like a six lane interstate 
And there`s a big, bright, red light telling me tonight 
Not to slow down, get my heart out of sight 

So you won`t get the taste of this, not even a kiss 
The fact your middle name is heartache ain`t no coincidence 
You made a livin` out of lovin` and leavin` `em to fall apart 
So now you better understand you`ll never lay a hand on one 
Itty bitty little single solitary piece o` my heart 

I know what it is you`re doin` 
With all that cooin` and a wooin` 
But you can`t fool me, I got a degree 
I learned a lot from hard knock schoolin` 
Well, I used to jump in wholehearted 
Every time a new love started 
But it was just a chase, then replaced heart, thrown in my face 
Not any more, my love is to good to waste 

So you won`t get the taste of this, not even a kiss 
The fact your middle name is heartache ain`t no coincidence 
You made a livin` out of lovin` and leavin` `em to fall apart 
So now you better understand you`ll never lay a hand on one 
Itty bitty little single solitary piece o` my heart 

I said now you better understand, you`ll never lay a hand on one 
Itty bitty little single solitary piece o` my heart

Just Thinking

Lari White

I was just thinking how nice it would be 
To have someone to kiss me good night 
I was just thinking what I really need 
Is someone to hold me real tight 
I was just thinking 
Of finding somebody I could mean everything to 
And it`s funny you should happen to walk into my life 
`Cause I was just thinking of you 

I was just thinking of a walk in the rain 
Underneath an umbrella for two 
I was just thinking of the sound of my name 
On the lips of a lover so true 

I was just thinking 
Of a moment of magic that lasts a whole lifetime through 
And it`s funny you should happen to walk into my life 
`Cause I was just thinking of you 

I`ve felt your tender touch in every romance I`ve read 
And I`ve seen your sweet smile in my dreams 
There`s a feeling I get, like we`ve already met 
And it`s almost too good to believe 

I was just thinking of a moment of magic 
That lasts a whole lifetime through 
And it`s funny you should happen to walk into my life 
`Cause I was just thinking of you

Well I guess you might`a heard of me 
That I`m a little loose and fancy free 
Darling, I don`t wanna leave no doubt 
I`m the girl your mama warned you about 

The place is jumpin` and I`m in the mood 
Why don`t you let me change your attitude 
Well I know a good place to start 
You gotta get a little wild at heart 

I`m crazy, baby, crazy over you 
Maybe baby I can make you a little crazy too 

I think you oughta loosen up that tie 
Call your mama with alibi 
Tell her you won`t be home `til after dark 
You gotta get a little wild at heart 

I`m crazy, baby, crazy over you 
Maybe baby I can make you a little crazy too 

Shake it loose and let it all hang out 
I wanna see you do the twist and shout 
You don`t have to be a billionaire 
No modern day Fred Astaire 

You`re really rockin`, now your doin` fine 
It didn`t take you long to lose your mind 
You can`t stop it, honey, once you start 
You gotta get a little wild at heart 
You can`t stop it, honey, once you start 
You gotta get a little wild at heart

Bobby David, David Gillon

Monday mornin`, 6 a.m. 
Time for me to go to work again 
But all I wanna do is 
Lay around and love on you 
7:30, but I don`t care 
What you`re doing is gonna keep me here 
`Cause all I wanna do is 
Lay around and love on you 

Lay around and love 
Lay around and love on you 
You`ve got me so turned on 
Honey, I can`t turn you loose 
Hope nobody calls 
Got the phone off the hook 
We`re gonna try everything in the book 
All I wanna do is 
Lay around and love on you 

Lay around and love 
Lay around and love on you 
You`ve got me so turned on 
Honey, I can`t turn you loose 
It`s so much fun just foolin` around 
I`m gonna be here when the sun goes down 
`Cause all I wanna do is 
Lay around and love on you 
Yeah, all I wanna do is 
Lay around and love on you

Blue Moon is rising, all hope seems gone 
A heart can be lonely only so long 
Baby, don`t worry `cause somebody cares 
Call out my name and I`ll be right there 

If you need a shoulder strong enough to lean on 
If you need a hand that fits like a glove 
If you need a heart then hold on steady 
Cause I`m ready, willing and able to love 

I know you`re wary, you`ve been hurt before 
But it`s time to move on, now, and close that old door 
Open your heart, wipe those tears from your eyes 
You`ve got my number, don`t even think twice 

If you need a shoulder strong enough to lean on 
If you need a hand that fits like a glove 
If you need a heart then hold on steady 
Cause I`m ready, willing and able to love 

You think it over, my offer still stands 
And if you`re still uncertain, I`ll say it again 

If you need a shoulder strong enough to lean on 
If you need a hand that fits like a glove 
If you need a heart then hold on steady 
Cause I`m ready, willing and able to love

(Chuck Rains/Cindy Green/Don Cook) Charts: Billboard Peak of 5 on 12/24/94 - R&R peak of 5 on 12/5/94

I always wondered how I`d live without you 
If you ever said goodbye 
Would I just live in dreams about you 
With tears in my eyes 
Would I fall to pieces when you go 
I always wondered how I`d live without you 
Now I know 

I`m doing alright 
I`m strong enough to make it on my own 
I`m not afarid of the night 
I`m learning how to face it alone 
I`ve been good at holding on 
Now I`m learning to let go 
I always wondered how I`d live without you 
Now I know 

I always wondered what I`d do without you 
I found out today 
I got up and made a cup of coffee 
And time just slipped away 
I dressed up and went out on the town 
To places you`d never go 
I always wondered what I`d do without you 
Now I know 

I`m doing alright 
I`m strong enough to make it on my own 
I`m not afarid of the night 
I`m learning how to face it alone 
I`ve been good at holding on 
Now I`m learning to let go 
I always wondered how I`d live without you 
Now I know 

I dress up and go out on the town 
To places you`d never go 
I always wondered what I`d do without you 
Now I know 

I`m doing alright 
I`m strong enough to make it on my own 
I`m not afarid of the night 
I`m learning how to face it alone 
I`ve been good at holding on 
Now I`m learning to let go 
I always wondered how I`d live without you 
Now I know

Lead Me Not

Lari White

Well, I should have been home hours ago 
I always lose track of the time 
I`ll just hold up this wall while I try to recall 
A thought from the back of my mind 

Oh yeah I remember, it began with a wink 
When you caught me looking at you 
So don`t ask me if you can buy me a drink 
I know what you`re trying to do 

Lead me not into temptation 
I already know the road all too well 
Lead me not into temptation 
I can find it all by myself 

I`ve the best of intentions, Lord, I mean to be good 
And stick to the path I should go 
But seems the harder I try, the further I slide 
`Til I`m lost down that same dead end road 

Now you`re a good lookin` thing, and that must be the best 
Proposition that I`ve had all day 
But there`s no need for subtlety, darlin`, just get thee 
Behind me and I`ll show you the way 

Lead me not into temptation 
I already know the road all too well 
Lead me not into temptation 
I can find it all by myself

Lari White/Chuck Cannon Charts: Billboard Peak of 10 on 4/24/94 - R&R peak of 9 on 4/17/94

You can take a stranger home 
Never spend a night alone 
But you have to face the morning feeling empty inside 
`Cause you can`t pretend it`s real 
When what you really want to feel 
Is the magic of the moment when love can`t be denied 

When your heart makes a sound like rolling thunder 
And your arms are wrapped around an angel from above 
And when the earth begins to shake 
`Cause it can feel the love you make 
Oh oh oh that`s how you know 
When you`re in love 

I had all but given up 
On ever finding love 
Until I caught a glimpse of heaven when I looked into your eyes 
And your fingers touched my skin 
Like a stormy summer wind 
Now I`m falling like the rain oh what a sweet surprise 

When your heart makes a sound like rolling thunder 
And your arms are wrapped around an angel from above 
And when the earth begins to shake 
`Cause it can feel the love you make 
Oh oh oh that`s how you know 
When you`re in love 

All of God`s creation starts to sing in harmony 
All I know you can hear it baby I know you believe 

When your heart makes a sound like rolling thunder 
And your arms are wrapped around an angel from above 
And when the earth begins to shake 
`Cause it can feel the love you make 
Oh oh oh that`s how you know 
When you`re in love

What A Woman Wants

You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialize correctly.

Lari White, Chuck Cannon

Come here darlin`, let me whisper in your ear 
A precious little secret that I think you need to hear 
With the way the women`s movement`s always making the news 
I can see how a man might get confused 
Now a woman doesn`t mind a man holding the door 
But slaving in some kitchen ain`t what God made a woman for 
We`ve come a long way baby, but way down deep we`re still the same 
What a woman wants will never change 

What a woman wants is to be treated like a queen 
By a man who deserves to be treated like a king 
What a woman wants, what keeps her holding on 
Is a loving man who understands what a woman wants 

Now that ain`t so complicated, baby, you know what to do 
Just do onto me like you want to be done to 
Put me on a pedestral and I`ll put you on a throne 
I bet you`re gonna love what a woman wants 

What a woman wants is to be treated like a queen 
By a man who deserves to be treated like a king 
What a woman wants, what keeps her holding on 
Is a loving man who understands what a woman wants 

What a woman wants is to be treated like a queen 
By a man who deserves to be treated like a king 
What a woman wants, what keeps her holding on 
Is a loving man who understands what a woman wants
