Too Many Cooks
Too many cooks are gonna spoil the stew
Too many cooks are gonna spoil the stew
Too many cooks are gonna spoil the stew
There ain't nobody cooking but me and you
Too many cooks are trying to get in your kitchen
The first thing you know there's something missin'
You got a real good oven, you've got a hot range, too
Let me butter your buns while you stir the stew
The stew that you're cooking, it smells so good
It's got everybody talking in the neighborhood
Your spice's so spicy, your sugar so sweet
Your meat is so tender and your juice is a treat
Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark
Dead of the night we're finally alone
I'll pull up the shades if you'll unplug the phone
Put on some music Marvin Gaye's real nice
Once we get settled I'll turn off the lights
Don't be afraid of the dark don't be afraid of the dark
I'll be there to hold you don't be afraid of the dark
It might be scary til your eyes adjust
Don't fear the shadows me you can trust
I'm at my best in a pitch black room
Hold on tight you'll feel the power soon
Don't be afraid of the dark don't be afraid of the dark
I'll be there to hold you don't be afraid of the dark
You might tremble you might shake
Scream out loud you may even pray
I know which moves suit you right
You'll beg for more you'll forget about the night
Don't be afraid of the dark don't be afraid of the dark
I'll be there to hold you don't be afraid of the dark
The Grinder
When I first met you weren't you a sweet, little thing
Worked my fool head off just to buy that diamond ring
Now things are kind of funny you know the way it goes
Now you want to put that ring right on through my nose
You put me through the grinder and I kept coming back for more
Now all I want to see of you is your back side headed out that door
Well, you said you needed night school and I went along with that
Till I followed you last Wednesday up to Sonny's flat
I put one and one together and it added up to fool
Cause what Sonny's got to offer ain't teached in any school
You put me through the grinder you hurt me like an open sore
I don't want no more excuses just get on out the door
They say this is a world of troubles I've had my share
But you're the kind of burden I really don't need to bare
I came home a little early what I found there
I walked in on you and Richard and your legs were up in the air
I'm gonna put you through the grinder I'm gonna even up the score
You better get yourself a lawyer we're about to go to war
Chicken In The Kitchen
I do all the cooking in our house you're always running around
I do all the cooking in our house you're always running around
There'll be no more chicken in the kitchen if you don't try to settle down
You come home late for supper now and your tale I just ain't buying
You come home late for supper now and your tale I just ain't buying
Well I got a feeling you're eating out now and someone else is doing the frying
Well you know that I get burned now that's one thing that can't be denied
And when I serve up my main course now you always get your choice of size
Well you know that I get burned now that's one thing that can't be denied
And when I serve up my main course now tou always tell me you're so satisfied
You gotta change your ways now I can't take no more of this mess
You gotta make up your mind now I can't take no more of this mess
Cause when it comes to real fine cuisine now you'll realize I was the best
There'll be no more chicken in the kitchen I am the best
Some Pain, Some Shame
The look on your face tells me where you've been
And every time you walk out of that door I act a fool to let you back in
You're not the only one makin' plans before I get burned you need to understand
There'll be some pain, some shame
Now something went wrong that I didn't see
Even someone who was out of their mind couldn't even have mercy on me
I'm not gonna take the blame what made you decide that we didn't need a thing?
But some pain, some shame
Now something went wrong that I didn't see
Even someone who was out of their mind couldn't even have mercy on me
Hangin' around cryin' ain't part of my plans
I'm gonna see you on the witness stand
There'll be some pain, some shame
I mean some pain, some shame
When The Welfare Turns It's Back On You
Now whatcha gonna do when the welfare turn it's back on you?
Whatcha gonna do when the welfare turn it's back on you?
You'll be standin' there stranded and there won't be a thing you can do
Now you look all through your house and you can't even find a piece of bread
You look all through your house you can't even find a piece of bread
I sometimes begin to wonder if you'd be better off, be better off dead
You have to go down to the welfare every month to report
And some of the things they say to you will sure enough get your goat
If you tell them that you're sick you better have a bad cough
Because if you don't, they will be ready to throw you off
Whatcha gonna do when the welfare turns its back on you?
You'll be standin' there stranded and there ain't a thing that you can do
