Five Long Years lyrics - Colin James

Well I see ya
Holdin' hands with your lover
And you're makin' plans with each other
It fits real good on you

Well don't worry
I didn't come to make things strange
'Cause there's a reason that things change
There's nothin' we can do

And it's been five long years
Since I've seen your lovely eyes
You girls have grown
She sees right through my thin disguise
You know I still love you
You knew I'd never change
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same

When you see me
Do you remember the times when we travelled
South of the borderline when love was young
Time was on our side
We danced
In the Rio Grande
And we listened to all the Mexican bands
Singin' songs of love
When our hearts were young, yeah

And it's been five long years
Since I've seen your lovely eyes
The girls have grown
She sees right through my thin disguise
You know I still love you
You knew I'd never change
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same

Oh, yeah
Five long years
Five long years

Five long years
Since I've seen your lovely eyes
Things have changed
You see right through my thin disguise

She sees right through me, yeah

You know I still love you
You knew I'd never change
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the sa-a-a-a-a-me
Yes baby
Oh yeah
Five long years
Five long years

Voodoo Thing lyrics - Colin James

Way down south where the mangos grow
A deeper in the swamp down in the Bayou
There's a little story that's a never been told
I found a pretty widow who never grows old
And how she buried her soul with a wedding ring
Trading it off for that voodoo thing

She moves like the wind got a fire in her eye
Well she can bring down rain from the clear blue sky
Make the sun go down with the wave of her hand
Well she can make a king of an ordinary man

She's going to make you dance, she's gonna make you sing
Well she'll give you some of that voodoo thing
Oohh voodoo thing

Like a heart held close to the edge of a knife
One kiss from her lips turns my blood into ice
I tried to run by the light of the moon
I said I'll never be back, but I spoke too soon
Well she made me dance and she made me scream
Did she give me some of that voodoo thing?
The voodoo thing
Oohh my voodoo thing

She'll put a spell on you

Down In The Bottom lyrics - Colin James

Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sands so I may keep
This memory of our caravan

This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to all the magic charms of you

You beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan

This is so exciting, you, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to all the magic charms of you

You beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan
Within our desert caravan

Chicks 'n Cars (And The Third World War) lyrics - Colin James

Well get out of my way, I'm a leaving this town
I said get out of my way, I'm a leaving this town
I feel danger, trouble all around

I got to have my girl, and a bottle of wine
Ya I got to grab my girl, and a bottle of wine
I got to hit the road
Doing ninety-nine, ah ya yeah
Ooh ninety-nine ninety-nine ninety-nine

Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
There's only three things worth of living for and that's
Chicks, cars and the third world war

Let's roll
Well get out of my way, I'm a leaving this town
I said get out of my way, there's something bad coming down
I feel danger, trouble all around
Hey hey ya little girl, we're stepping out tonight
Hey hey hey little girl, we're stepping out tonight
I got to love you once
We better do it right

Do it right, do it right, do it right, do it right, out of sight
Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
There's only three things worth of living for and that's
Chicks, cars and the third world war

Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
There's only three things worth of dying for and that's

Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
There's only three things worth of dying for and that's
Chicks, cars and the third world war

Why'd You Lie lyrics - Colin James

The very first rule
That you learned in school
Was that you shouldn't try to fool
The people you're close to

And now you're almost full grown
I really should've known
If I left you on your own
You wouldn't do like you're supposed to

Why'd you lie?

Don't want to hear no alibis
Don't want to know the reasons why
You left me here to cry
While you were out there loving him

And now you're acting real nice
You're all sugar and spice
You've already thrown the dice
Your chances are real slim

Why'd you lie?
Why'd you lie?

You'd better make a correction
To all this deception
And start treating me right
'Cuz we had discussed it
'Til I was disgusted
There's one thing that I have to say
All about sleeping in another man's bed

Why'd you lie?
Why'd you lie?

The very first rule
That you learned in school
Was that you shouldn't try to fool
The people you're close to

Why'd you lie several times and end

Hidden Charms lyrics - Colin James

Her lips are sweet, her legs are big
Her looks can make you dance the jig
Her touch is so soft, her heart is so warm
What knocks me out is your hidden charms
Her voice is so soft, her love is so true
I think about her, that's all I do
She's weak and wanton in my arms
What moves me, darling, is your hidden charms

When I hold you in my arms
Brings out all of your hidden charms

Her kiss is so pure as the morning dew
A real gone love is exciting too
Her eyes that talk, they say come on
What kills me, baby, is your hidden charms

When I hold you in my arms
Brings out all of your hidden charms

Bad Girl lyrics - Colin James

I'm in trouble
And there's no denying
I've been seeing double
And I'm no good at lying

I knew I should've left you alone
You knew I had a lover back home
You knew it

You got me running
Sneakin' down the backstreets
Hey you got me hiding
And I see you got a mean streak

Now the news is out all over town
And my world is turnin' over turnin' upside down
You got what you wanted
I'm still bein' haunted
I should've known

You're such a bad girl...
She might treat you bad, but your love is so good
You're such a bad, bad girl
Why don't you leave me alone

You got me locked up to a ball and chain
Like tryin' to run away from a hurricane..yeah

You're such a bad girl...
She might treat you bad, but you know she loves you good
You're such a bad, bad girl
Why don't you leave me alone

You're such a bad girl...
The worst is better than your best now baby
You're such a bad, bad girl
Why don't you leave me alone

You're such a bad girl...
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad

You're such a bad, bad girl
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad
Why don't you leave me alone

You're such a bad girl...
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad

You're such a bad, bad girl
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad
Why don't you leave me alone

You're such a bad girl...
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad

Lone Wolf lyrics - Colin James

I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
I'm a lone wolf babe
Tonight I'm on the prowl

When I howl you can hear for miles around
When I howl you can hear for miles around
You better watch out tonight the wolf's in town
When you hear me howling, I'm not howling at the moon
I'm crying for some loving and I better get some soon

I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
I'm a lone wolf baby
Tonight I'm on the prowl

I'm a lone wolf and I just can't sleep at night
I'm a lone wolf and I just can't sleep at night

Well I'm a real gone dog with a [?] at the tight
Well I'm gonna where she's at
I'm gonna pick her up where she walks at
To the east and on to the west
And I won't settle for second best

I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
When you hear me howling
I'm not howling at the moon
[?] of some lovin' and I better get some soon

I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
I'm a lone wolf babe and tonight I'm on the prowl
I'm a lone wolf babe and tonight I'm on the prowl

Gone dog

Dream Of Satin lyrics - Colin James

Broken toys are scattered on the floor
And whiskey bottles shrine the living room
She's lookin' out the window
Tryin' to see through the tears that fall

He left the other night without a trace
Goddamn the man he never did no good
She should have left him long ago
But she couldn't get away
Thinkin' that he'd come around
But now he's gone to stay

Do you still dream of satin
Fine china and white lace?
And a man who really loves you
To wipe those tears away

Do you still see the Eiffel tower
And a table set for two?
And if you say yes
If you say yes
It will still come true

Oh hey baby
Hey girl

The years went by so fast she couldn't sleep
How the hands of time have battered her around
And left her lost and lonely

With things that could have been

And a heart that's turned to stone
That won't let nothin' in
And no you won't no you won't
No you won't let nothin' in

Do you still dream of satin
Fine china and white lace?
And a man who really loves you
To wipe those tears away

Do you still see the Eiffel tower
And a table set for two?
And if you say yes if you say yes
If you should say yes
And if you say yes
If you say yes
It will still come true

Hey baby
Aww girl
Say come on come on girl
Come on

It will come true it will come true
It will come true

Devilment lyrics - Colin James (feat. Charlie Musselwhite)

(originally by Paul Reddick)

Sometimes when you look at me
All my troubles cease to be
And you are lovely, you are fine
You've got the devilment on your mind
Oh so fine, a heart so pure
You're alluringly demure
You're the fruit upon the vine
You've got the devilment on your mind
You've got the devilment on your mind

You're so perfect, you're so sweet
You are small with little feet
You are thin as turpentine
You've got the devilment on your mind
Ain't no trouble, ain't no toil
Ain't no cauldron on the boil
There ain't no ax for your grind
You've got the devilment on your mind
You've got the devilment on your mind
You've got the devilment on your mind
You've got the devilment on your mind
