 You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet

I met a devil woman she took my heart away
She said, I've had it coming to me but I wanted it that way
I think that any love is good loving so I took what I could get
She looked at me with big brown eyes and said you ain't seen nothing yet
You just ain't seen nothing yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
You just ain't seen nothing yet
You ain't been around that's what they told me

And now I'm feeling better because I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor and he told me of a cure
He said that any love is good love so I took what I could get
And then she looked at me with them big brown eyes and said you ain't seen nothing yet
You just ain't seen nothing yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
You just ain't seen nothing yet
You need educating you got to go to school

Taking Care Of Business

You get up every morning from your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city there's a whistle up above
And people pushing people shoving and the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train is on time you can get to work by nine and start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed look at me I'm self-employed I love to work at nothing all day and I'll be
Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime 

Work out if it were easy as fishing you could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun just lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way it's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed we love to work at nothing all day and we be
Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime

Take good care of my business when I'm away, every day
You get up every morning from your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city there's a whistle up above
And people pushing people shoving and the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train is on time you can get to work by nine and start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed look at me I'm self-employed I love to work at nothing all day and I'll be
Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime 

Blue Collar

Walk your street and I'll walk mine and should we meet would you spare me some time?
Because you should see my world meet my kind, and before you judge our minds
Blue collar
Sleep your sleep I'm awake and alive I keep late hours you're a nine to five
So I would like you to know I need the quiet hours to create in this world of mine
Blue collar

I'd like you to know at four in the morning, things are coming to mind
All I see, all I've done, and those I hope to find
I'd like to remind you at four in the morning my world is very still
The air is fresh under diamond skies, makes me glad to be alive
You keep that beat and I keep time
Your restless face is no longer mine
I rest my feet while this world's in heat and I wish that you could do the same
Blue collar

Looking Out For Number One

Everyday is an endless train you got to ride it to the end of the line
Be a troubleshooter, blow the bad luck away and you will make it to your station on time
And you'll find out every trick in the book and that's there's only one way to get things done
You'll find out the only way to the top is looking out for number one
I mean you keep looking out for number one

Every night is a different game we gotta work for our fortune and fame
Success is a ladder, take a step at a time and the people will remember your name
I found out all the tricks of the trade and that's there's only one way you're gonna get things done
I found out the only way to the top is looking out for number one
And that's me, I'm looking out for number one

Everyday is an endless train but I ride it to the end of the line
I'm a real troubleshooter and I blow it away no one's gonna get what's mine
I found out every trick in the book and that's there's only one way to get things done
I found out the only way to the top is looking out for number one
I mean you, keep looking out for number one
That's us, keep looking out for number one
That's me, I'm looking out for number one

Not Fragile

Coming to you across country hoping boogies still allowed
You ask do we play heavy music well are thunderheads just another cloud, we do
Not Fragile, straight at you
Then we vanish to the night still in your ears but out of sight
Not Fragile

Don't think we feel hurt or wounded or our egos are showing through
It's our world that's been disrupted and our strength reflects from you
Well its true Not Fragile, over you
Try us when you're getting down feeling high or just hanging round
Not Fragile

The times we travel in our lives are hard and give us drive
We may seem distant most of the time but many thoughts are still on our minds
Not Fragile

Down And Out Man

Had a widow down in Boston you know she really trusted me
Then I ran away to Cleveland from a brand new bride-to-be
Held a preacher's plate in Memphis on a dark cold Sunday night
By Tuesday was in Alabama showing people how to do it right
I'm a down and out man guess you wonder why I am
I'm a down and out man guess you wonder why I am

Tried to boogie in a honky-tonk but my old guitar was out of tune
That's when they didn't like my music so they tried to throw me out the room
I was living in a funky world they were living in three four time
All my friends are into rock and roll or they ain't no friends of mine
I'm a down and out man guess you wonder why I am
I'm a down and out man guess you wonder why I am

Had a widow down in Boston you know she really trusted me
Then I ran away to Cleveland from a brand new bride-to-be
Held a preacher's plate in Memphis on a dark cold Sunday night
By Tuesday was in Alabama showing people how to do it right
I'm a down and out man guess you wonder why I am
I'm a down and out man guess you wonder why I am
