EYES
SOULFUL EYES
(Tony Joe White)
Hey have you ever been to a place all by yourself
Like a crowded airport, a bar or maybe at a party at somebody's house?
And you're just standing there and ain't nobody talking to you or nothing
And you look across the crowded room
And you see somebody and your eyes .... catch! hmm
Now I mean they hold each other
For it seems like a long time yeah
Eyes can say so much
And eyes can be a tender touch
Soulful eyes can turn me on
And lead me on yeah
Eyes can say it's just begun
Eyes can say "I need someone"
Soulful eyes can say
I'm lonely too and I feel it for you
Yeah ooh yeah
And I just can't take my eyes off of you baby
Oh it almost feels like I'm touching you baby
So nice, it's so very nice
Like the natural high
When I see those soulful eyes
I, I just can't hide it baby
Feels like something burning deep inside me baby
Soulful eyes can tear me up
They're just too much yeah
Soulful eyes

Got to get my body straight to you

In your very own special way
And wow, we'll turn the lights down low
And I'm gonna hold you baby

RAINY DAY LOVER
(Tony Joe White)
She's a rainy day lover
She only comes by when she pleases
And though she tells me that she needs me
I'll never know when she'll be leaving
But everytime I hear the rain
Start to looking out my windowpane
For my rainy day lover
She's a rainy day lover
She don't want no chance to bind her
She gives me love and then she goes
I'll never know where to find her
She just leaves me all alone
She don't even telephone
Rainy day lover
She's a rainy day lover
But I just can't break away "No"
Cause everytime she comes to see me Oh Lord
I keep hoping she might stay
She gives me love and then she's gone
Lord she keeps me hanging on

I know we're gonna make it fine
People say we can't last very long
Even though we've got a good thing going
They say you can't survive on love alone
That may be true I don't know
By why not loving let it go?
Cause we'll live on love, won't you babe

But while we here ya'all
We can make it better
If we take care of our bodies while we can
Yeah making love is good for you

But for me Lord Lord there is only one way
To get my poor ol' body off the ground
Cause making love is good for me
Making love is good for me
Take care of your body

Take care of your body

SWAMP BOOGIE
(Tony Joe White)
Now you know songs about love and being weird
I wanna love and nice
But every now and then
You need to get down
So we're gonna take you down to the swamps
If you ever go down to Baton Rouge
And find yourself at midnight with nothing to do
Go back to the dark wood
Just outside of town
There's a place where everybody knows how to get down
Hey, hey, hey, it's allright
They're doing a swamp boogie in the night uh
The swampers get around you and show you the style
Something 'bout the nighttime that makes you go "Wow"
A lady by the campfire begins to chant
Perhaps you start to do a mocassin dance
Hey, hey, hey, it's allright
They're doing a swamp boogie in the night
Everybody was shouting and stomping around
When you get the fever you got to get down
By your music working like a chomp
Come on everybody it can't do you no harm
Hey, hey, hey, it's allright
They're doing a swamp boogie in the night
Hey, hey, hey, it's allright
They're doing a swamp boogie in the night
They're doing it!
THAT LOVING FEELING
(Tony Joe White)
Come on ... come closer baby
And lay your lovely face against my skin
Please don't ... don't turn away from me baby
Cause we may never pass this way again
I can't stop myself from wanting you
And woh I don't believe it
Won't ya even try?
I can't keep my hands from touching you
I wanna see that loving feeling in your eyes
Oh baby
The nearness of you ... surrounded me
Seems that i can almost touch your soul
I feel my heart ... a-pounding inside me
Hold me baby, hold me, don't let me go!
This is such an unusual reaction
I never never felt this way before
It's more then just a sexual attraction
I find myself loving you more and more
Hmm
So sexy!
I can't stop myself from wanting you
And woh I don't believe it
Won't ya even try?
I can't keep my hands from touching you
I wanna see that loving feeling in your eyes
Good morning baby you look so lovely
With your hair spread upon the pillowcase
Soft eyes avoiding me
I see uncertainty on your face
Babe I'm a man of a word I told you
Cause now you've got me feeling so brand new
Can't you feel it baby when I hold you?
I want to spend the rest of my life loving you
Oh baby
Go down!
Oh mama
Uh now uh now
