01. Get It

Music & lyrics by Paul Gilbert
She is smarter than your average girl
But she still don't get it
She could travel all the western world
But she still won't get it
It takes more than a mind to know
Anybody will tell you so
But she won't let me in
Even though it's a sin to forget it

Could it be that she would prefer her we
Without me in it
I would understand if another man
Was around to win it
Did the last one leave her cold
Will the mystery unfold
Leaves me wonderin' why
No I can't even try to forget it

Yeah, I knew that it wouldn't be easy
But that don't stop me from trying
And if I said I could just forget you
I'd be lying

My persistence paid, last night she stayed
And we finally made it
The surprise I found is she's been around
And her heart is jaded
I was blinded by my dream
Sometimes things ain't what they seem
Now, I must confess
That I think it's best we forget it
There I said it
Don't regret it

02. Girl Crazy

Music & lyrics by Donnie Vie, Chip Z'Nuff
Stuck in a world
Where weaknesses are sweet and many
Stuck with a girl
Who's in love with things that I haven't any
Another song
Where I leave and try to feel no sorrow

What good's the love
When I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Girl crazy, yeah I'm
Girl crazy

I'm girl crazy, It's breakin' my heart
I'm girl crazy, It's breakin' my heart

Some magazines
That don't leave much to imagination
Color my dreams
So at night I feel a good sensation
Not having a wife
Can sometimes make it easy living

But all of my life
I can't ignore what they are giving
Girl crazy, uh I'm
Girl crazy

I'm girl crazy, It's breakin' my heart
I'm girl crazy, It's breakin' my heart

Come up with a line
To get it all and not have to beg

We'll have a good time
Lord knows I love to feel her hand on my leg
Girl crazy, you know I'm
Girl crazy
Girl crazy, you know I'm
Girl crazy

I'm girl crazy, It's breakin' my heart
I'm girl crazy, It's breakin' my heart
I'm girl crazy, It's breakin' my heart
I'm girl crazy, It's breakin' my heart
I'm girl crazy, It's breakin' my heart

03. Be My Wife

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
I could go to England
I could go to Spain
I could meet a girl there
Love her for her brain

I would send her letters
Tell her 'bout my life
Don't know 'til it happens
Who's gonna be my
Who's gonna be my wife

She could be an actress
Future movie star
Workin' as a waitress
At the local bar

Catchin' my attention
Practicing her lines
Don't know 'til it happens
Who's gonna be my
Who's gonna be my wife
Just to know

I don't give a damn
What her father says
He's just a man
Made of promises

Now that I have found her
Give her all my love
Ain't what I expected
None of the above

We could spend tomorrow
Keepin' it alive
Know it when it happens
She's gonna be my
She's gonna be
She's gonna be my
She's gonna be
She's gonna be
Yeah

My, my, my, my, my, my, yeah
It's been so cool

04. Mr. Skin

Music & lyrics by Jay Ferguson
Ah ah ah oh ooh
Ah ah ah oh ooh
Uh uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh uh

I raise my head in a touchy situation
Mr. Skin know where you been
Yes, I make my bed in the heart of the nation
Mr. Skin know where you been

I know its a trick of human love
To make all the people holler (Na na na na, na na na na na na)
Said I'm lookin' out for that woman
Instead of reachin' out for that dollar (Na na na na, na na na na na na)
Yeah

I'm rollin' flowin' through the whole population
Mr. Skin know where you been
The high and the low but all my friends are relations
Mr. Skin know where you been

I can bring you pain
I can bring you sudden pleasure (Na na na na, na na na na na na)
Your life will only gain
If your love is the final measure (Na na na na, na na na na na na)
(Na na na na, na na na na na na)

(Skin)
(Skin)
(Skin)
(Skin)

Ah ah ah oh ooh
Ah ah ah oh ooh
Uh uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh uh

Mr. Mr. Skin (Mr. Skin know where you been)
Mr. Mr. Skin (Mr. Skin know where you been)
Mr. Mr. Skin (Mr. Skin know where you been)
Mr. Mr. Skin (Mr. Skin know where you been)

05. Beautiful Girls Are Insane

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
I want you near me
You don't want anything to do with me
When will it get through to me
That beautiful girls
Want beautiful boys
And you can't blame the girls
'Cause they never had a choice
There's a hole in my pocket
A hole in my brain
All the beautiful girls are insane

I miss you constantly
Your kiss is breaking down my honesty
Changing all the best in me
'Cause beautiful girls
Want beautiful boys
And you can't blame the girls
'Cause they never had a choice
There's a picture in my pocket
I don't want to know her name
All the beautiful girls are insane

I know what's right for me
Why won't my heart stand up and fight for me
When you say goodnight to me
'Cause beautiful girls
Get all of the boys
And you can't blame the girls
'Cause they never had a choice
There's a hole in my pocket
A hole in my brain
All the beautiful girls are insane
Are insane
Are insane
Are insane

06. Midnight Maryanne

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
I hear the blue jay hummin'
Down the end of my street
He's got the words all wrong
But the right melody
He must be happy
'Cause I never heard him sing before

Woulda missed it again
From the start 'til the end
If it weren't for my midnignt Maryanne
You know her friend's in love

I'm askin' all you people
Won't you lend me a smile
I walked for sixteen hours
Only seemed like a mile
I must be happy
'Cause I never saw the sun before

Woulda missed it again
From the start 'til the end
If it weren't for my midnight Maryanne
You know her friend's in love

You might be wonderin'
I wouldn't blame you
You think you've got somethin'
That's gonna tame her
Don't even try
I've got the key
Her best friend is me
So come on and phase it like a Bad Stone

Woulda missed it again
From the start 'til the end
If it weren't for my midnight Maryanne
You know her friend's, 'end's in love

07. Heavy Disco Trip

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
I'm just startin' on my heavy
I'm just startin' on my heavy
I'm just startin' on my heavy disco trip

These are not the best years of my life
These are not the best friends that I'll ever have
This girl ain't gonna be my wife
Thinkin' about it kinda makes me laugh

I'm just startin' on my heavy
I'm just startin' on my heavy
I'm just startin' on my heavy disco trip

This is not the way I'm gonna look
This is not the way I'm gonna wear my face
Won't go the way they say I should
I know a better way to spend my days

I'm just startin' on my heavy
I'm just startin' on my heavy
I'm just startin' on my heavy disco trip

I'm just startin' on my heavy
I'm just startin' on my heavy
I'm just startin' on my heavy disco trip

08. Kate Is A Star

Music & lyrics by Gilbert, Russ Parrish
She wore a silver dress on the plane
She's a star
Drives her mom and dad insane
And they are

She let the number run
She let her people live
And she keeps her friends
What they wouldn't give
For her fate
Little Kate is a star

She conquered everyone in her own
Part of town
Had to leave 'em there, cause they don't
Get around

Threw the past away
She has a better time
Quoting philosophy
Or a nursery rhyme
Until eight
Little Kate is a star

Reads a note from her biggest fan
But she already understands
She could always change her plans
But so far, she's a star
But so far, she's a star

And if she lives today
She could be anyone
All the papers say
She could be twenty one

She let the number run
She let her people live
And she keeps her friends
What they wouldn't give
For her fate
Little Kate is a star

09. Down To Mexico

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
If my situation gets out of control
I could run down to Mexico
If I need a place to do some layin' low
I could run down to Mexico

Sun is always in the sky
Bands are always hoppin'
You can shake it all you want
Never feel like stoppin'
Think I'll give my mind a rest and save my soul
I will run down to Mexico, yeah

If you don't have anywhere left to go
You could run down to Mexico
If you found the answer but still don't know
You could run down to Mexico

You don't need to buy your friends
They're just glad to meet you
Maybe even meet yourself
A friendly señorita
If you never try it you will never know
You could run down to Mexico

Take me a vacation from the freezing cold
Gonna run down to Mexico
Should have left a long, long time ago
Gonna run down to Mexico

Sun is always in the sky
Bands are always hoppin'
You can shake it all you want
Did you feel like stoppin'
If you never try it you will never know
You could run down to Mexico

10. Tell The Truth

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
All I want to
Do is dance
All I want is
What's inside your pants
Sometimes it's uncouth
To tell the truth

If you ask me
I will confess
All I want is
What's inside your dress
Sometimes it's uncouth
To tell the truth

I don't want to
Sit here and talk
All I want to
Do is
Sometimes it's uncouth
To tell the truth

11. Wrong Man

Music & lyrics by Gilbert
Once upon a time lived a boy and a girl and another
Boy and the girl made plans so the other left home
Little bit late could have found a better way to discover

She chose the wrong man
She chose the wrong man
She chose the wrong
Man to raise her children
Man to share her bed
Man, what was she thinking
Will she go out of her head
If she hears this song
And she knows he's wrong

Once upon a time was a house in the middle of a country
English burnt it down but for now it's standing tall
The man inside got his job from acting funny

We chose the wrong man
We chose the wrong man
We chose the wrong
Man to run the country
Man to wield the sword
Man to spend the money
More than we can all afford
When we find it's gone
And we know he's wrong

Isolation could keep him away
We could put that dude in solitude
Incarceration, lock him away
Turn his days into night
Do two wrongs make a right?

For the wrong man
He's the wrong man
He's the wrong
Man from who we wanted
Not what we expect
Don't believe in giving
So that's all that he will get
When he hears this song
And he knows he's wrong
