Lyrics from "Knock Loud"

 

Just You Wait (Case)

Just you wait 'til I get home
I know - it'll be better than before
When I walk right through that door - I know
I won't be afraid to love you anymore
Cause it's that same old feeling I told you before
The one that I cling to I just can't ignore
Yes it's summer here in town
I know - I've been selfish and unkind
When I walk right through that door
I won't be afraid to tell you just what's on my mind
Cause it's that same old feeling I told you before
The one that I cling to I just can't ignore
And when I get there I'll be fine
Say what's on my mind every time
You'll be right there looking up
Fill my loving cup in your time
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Just you wait 'til I get home
I know -  it'll be better than before
When I walk right through that door -  I know
I won't be afraid to love you anymore
Cause it's that same old feeling I told you before
The one that I cling to I just can't ignore
Just you wait 'til I get home

Black Girl (Case)

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
The kind of beautiful you just couldn't fake it
Have you seen the real black girl
So magnificent I just couldn't take it
She's a real black girl
Oh the real black girl
Oooo la la
Oh She's very very
She smells like a cherry
She rolls just like a Radio Flyer
Have you seen the real black girl
Perfect object of a brother's desire
She's the real black girl
Oh the real black girl
Oooo la la
She's the real black girl
Oh the real black girl
Oooo la la
Don't you wanna try it
I know you wanna try it
She's your warm desire
Set your world on fire, fire

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
The kinda beautiful you just couldn't fake it
Have you seen the real black girl
So magnificent I just couldn't take it
She's the real black girl
Oh the real black girl
Oooo la la
She's the real black girl
Oh the real black girl
Oooo la la -yeah!

 

Blackout (Delicato)

Everything I know is true
Everything I say and do
I'm not here to mess around
I got you here, I'm gonna lay it down
Come on, don't make me wait too long
for the blackout to the dawn
People say I lost my mind
Soul struck in overdrive
I don't care just what they say
I gave my life to live this way
Come on, don't make me wait too long
for the blackout to the dawn
Like I said
Come on, don't make me wait too long
for the blackout to the dawn
Everything I know is true
Everything I say and do
I'm not here to mess around
I got you here, I'm gonna lay it down
Come on, don't make me wait too long
for the blackout to the dawn
Like I said
Come on, don't make me wait too long
for the blackout to the dawn

If I Fell (Delicato/Case)

You think you can everyone you see
Well that doesn't matter much to me
Get some help, you know you only fool yourself
See my name, your gonna do it anyway
If I could do it for you, you could do it for me
Oh and if I fell for you, you could fall for me
Time is now, baby open your eyes and see
Oh that if I fell for you, you could fall for me
It's a shame that you deny it
When you really want to try it
But love is like strip poker
And you never know what card you're gonna draw
Until you get it - and you might live to regret it
But it's better not to fight the only game you know
You can never win - never win

I know it's no walk in the park
It's more like fishin' in the dark
It's ok, people do it every day
See my name your gonna do it anyway
If I can do it for you, you could do it for me
Oh and if I fell for you, you could fall for me
Time is now, baby open your eyes and see
Oh that if I fell for you, you could fall for me

Thin Air (Case)

I can feel you creepin'
I can hear the whole world sleepin'
Don't tell me it's the wrong thing
I knew that from the beginning
Everybody's got the answer, the answer, the answer for me
Everybody thinks they're right, so right, How do they know what I need?
'Cause if I died right here, left all my pride in you
I could let myself disappear to thin air
Thin air
Your affection is a new toy, I'll do all I can to break it
I can never have the nice things, cause I don't know how to take it
What I see looks right, so right, your eyes render me blind
And I'm in love with your surprise, your surprise-  gotta have it all the time
So if I died right here, I could stop wanting you
I could just disappear to thin air
Thin air
Cause if I died right here, I could stop wanting you
I could just disappear to thin air
Thin air

Tie Me In A Knot (Delicato/Case)

These four walls are all I got
And a shotgun love to mess you up
I've given in because, I'm not what I was
You're so dull - in a perfect world
You'd lay right down - wouldn't make a sound
I love the way you look at night, but you're not right
I know I shouldn't, but I think I might
Tie Me In A Knot, tell me what I'm not, Tie Me In A Knot, it's the only way
Tie Me In A Knot, tell me what I'm not, Tie Me In A Knot, Yeah Yeah
These four walls are all I got
And a shotgun love to mess you up

I've given in because, I'm not what I was
I like the way you look at night, but baby, you're not right
Tie Me In A Knot, tell me what I'm not, Tie Me In A Knot
Tie Me In A Knot, tell me what I'm not, Tie Me In A Knot, Yeah Yeah
Tie Me In A Knot, tell me what I'm not, Tie Me In A Knot
Tie Me In A Knot, tell me what I'm not, Tie Me In A Knot

Hot Shot (Delicato)

I Want you, you know that I do
Come here sweet thing now, we're gonna do it times two
I need you like nobody else
You do the things baby I couldn't do by myself - aw yeah
Want you, right here by my side
Come here sweet thing now, we're gonna go for a ride
I want you, oh like it or not
Bring it on baby, I'm gonna give you your shot - aw yeah
Yeah - I know what you do
Come here sweet thing now, we're gonna do it times two
I need you like nobody else
You do the things baby I couldn't do by myself - aw yeah

 

Don't Lay It On Me (Case)

Congratulations on your civilization I hope that you're havin' fun
Cause when I pick up the stink of your superior jinx
I wanna fade like a ghost in the sun
Don't lay it on me, lay it on me
Don't lay your cool upon me
I'm just a square havin' fun you wanna fuck it up for everyone

When you were in school I bet that you were so cool
All capped with a menthol K
Who could have know and my have you grown into an asshole with a capital A
Don't lay it on me lay it on me
Don't lay your cool upon me 
I'm just a square havin' fun you wanna fuck it up for everyone

Where I come from we never shoot a pig in the back
Where I come from we nail it right between the eyes
It's a matter of respect, something you wouldn't understand
When the pig's the bigger man, when the pig's the bigger man

Don't lay it on me lay it on me
Don't lay your cool upon me 
I'm just a square having fun you wanna fuck it up for everyone

 

Hollywood (Case)

Well Hey Hey Hollywood
So exciting and you look so good
You got so much heart, you're gonna tear it apart
My Hollywood
So much soul with your trousers low
You've got skin like dirty snow
How did you learn the things that you know
My Hollywood
I never had it like that before
I want more more more more
Gotta a noise that's hard to beat
Knock the Detroit girls right outta their seat
I'm drinkin' whiskey from a plastic cup
Don't grow out of it and don't grow up
Screw your head on tight make it last all night
My Hollywood
So much soul with your trousers low
You've got skin like dirty snow
How did you learn the things that you know
My Hollywood
Hey Hey Hollywood!
Hey Hey Hollywood!
Hey Hey Hollywood!
Hey Hey Hollywood!

 

Vegas (Case)

Don't wear that coat to Vegas it ain't bringing you no luck
Every since you got that trashy thing your whole scene has been fucked
If you wanna run off to the desert you better strip yourself down bare
Cause from what I've heard about Vegas you can get into a mess of trouble down there
Let's stay up all night, it's all right
You can bring your cowboy friends
You'd better make plans to stay cause when I get this way
Party might never end, never end

A nickel ain't worth a penny but the weather feels good inside
Keep a twenty for breakfast, and let the rest of it ride
You know the lights look so inviting, they're gonna burn when I arrive
And from what I heard about Vegas, it's gonna bury you alive
Let's stay up all night, it's all right
you can bring your cowboy friends
You'd better make plans to stay, cause when I get this way
Party might never end, never end

A nickel ain't worth a penny but the weather feels good inside
Keep a twenty for breakfast and let the rest of it ride
If you wanna run off to the desert you better strip yourself down bare
Cause from what I've heard about Vegas you can get into a mess of trouble out there
Let's stay up all night, it's all right
You can bring your cowboy friends
You'd better make plans to stay, cause when I get this way
The party might never end, never end
Let's stay up all night it's all right
You can bring your cowboy friends
You'd better make plans to stay, cause when I get this way
The party might never end, never end
