JERRY CHERRY

Slip

Wait for me. I know some day I could make you happy.
Tonight I'm free. I know I’m gonna miss you in the morning.

How did I fall into this?
How did I fall...

How could I let a love like that slip through my fingers?

I really miss the smile on your face when you let me in.
Now it's clear to me that I don’t want to write another lost love song.

Why didn’t I treat you like gold?
Why didn’t I treat...

How could I let a love like that slip through my fingers?
I held on for less, now a love like that slipped through my fingers.

How did I fall into this?
Why did I fall...

How could I let a love like that slip through my fingers?
I held on for less, now a love like that slipped through my fingers.
How could I let a love like that slip through my fingers?
I held on for less, now a love like that slipped through my fingers...

Wait for me...

Hello My Dear

Hello, my dear, how are you? It's been two weeks since I’ve seen you.
I’d love to look into your eyes, but you're not here.
Once my indecision grew to stay or walk away from you,
I wish I could’ve seen you through, but I had to go.

I wish I could hold you in my arms, feel the beating of our hearts,
Our bodies so close, nothing could come between us.

I sneak up and buzz your door like I always did before.
Through your intercom I heard your voice, and I ran away.
As soon as I got home, well, I left a message on your telephone
that I'm thinking of you and that I made a big mistake.

I wrote a letter of what I did wrong. Dropped it of by your door.
Through your door I heard your voice... you sound so good.
I knocked twice and I rang your bell, but no answer but its just as well.
I made my decision, now I have to live with it.

I wish I could hold you in my arms, feel the beating of our hearts,
Our bodies so close, nothing could come between us.
Remember the night that I met you, just a boy and a girl, it was oh so new,
Yellow flowers in bloom when I said, "I love you."
The day on the lake in the summer, your spell, like the waves, nearly pulled me under.
Pieces of our hearts scattered on the ground.
Now the tears are rolling down my face. To think I let sweet love go to waste.
Please listen to me, listen to me, 'cause I need you...

Hello, my dear, how are you? It's been two weeks since I’ve seen you.
I’d love to look into your eyes, but you're not here.

Lancelot

I’ve been thinking about the girl who’s always singing.
I never heard a sound so beautiful.
Our minds are not suspicious. Her lips are so delicious.
I love the way her green eyes gaze at me.

A tragedy unfolds if our love should grow cold.

If I were Lancelot I'd steal her from King Arthur
And I would never let her go.
I am Romeo and she’s my Juliet,
A love that will never ever die.

If I could paint a picture or write as deep as scripture
Or play a melody so sweet,
They still would not describe how beautiful she is inside,
And how she makes my life complete.

A tragedy unfolds if our love should grow cold.
No century’s complete without a love so sweet.

If I were Lancelot I'd steal her from King Arthur
And I would never let her go.
I am Romeo and she’s my Juliet,
A love that will never ever die.

I must tell her that my heart won't beat without her
and I’ll never let her go

Just before the curtain falls she takes her bows and her applause.
A thousand people fall in love with her.
But she’s my one and only, sweet like Texas honey,
a love no mortal can deny.

If I were Lancelot I'd steal her from King Arthur
And I would never let her go.
I am Romeo and she’s my Juliet,
A love that will never ever die.
If I were Lancelot I'd steal her from King Arthur
And I would never let her go.
I am Romeo and she’s my Juliet,
A love that will never ever die.

Turned Around

Girl, I'm completely moved in every way. All the things that I just want to say. I’ve been afraid to.
What did I do to deserve someone like you? How’d I get so lucky, is it true?

I feel an angel sent you here. I really found someone sincere.
I feel a mountain moving on and on.

I'm completely turned around. I had my share of heartbreaks in this cold and lonely town.
I'm completely turned around. Around.

Girl, you’re the first one I completely trust. I can be myself and that’s enough.
Girl, everyone that sees you gets mesmerized. And those of us who know you aren’t surprised.
It's your heart that makes you shine.

Lying next to me peacefully. I am right where I want to be.
So genuine that I realize there’s no one like you.

I'm completely turned around. I had my share of heartbreaks in this cold and lonely town.
I'm completely turned around. Around. I’m turned around.

Girl, I'm completely moved in every way. All the things that I just want to say. I’ve been afraid to.

I'm completely turned around. I had my share of heartbreaks in this cold and lonely town.
I'm completely turned around. I'm turned around. Around.
I'm completely turned around. Around.

Freakshow

Hey girl, that's what I'm talking about, what's on your mind here at the scene of the crime?
If you really want to turn me on, what are you doing over there?
I gotta try another way honey, release some pressure, there's no other way to measure.
I only got ten more minutes before the golden child gives it a go.

Oh, like melted ice cream, sliding down the palm of the hands of a girl that's always on my mind.

Coming like a Freakshow, baby, I'm not messing around, I'm looking for you.
Coming like a Freakshow
I want to satisfy you honey 'cause I'm looking around and all I see is you.
Coming like a Freakshow

I was about to give up when I saw your girlfriend outside the door
I sang a little song and told her what's it all about
I'm not waiting on no lady, I'm just waiting on a friend.
Then your girlfriend brought me closer to you,
you were pulling on the string I was the yo-yo coming back to you.
Something was about to give. I was about to give in.

Oh, like cherry ice cream sliding down palm of the hand of a girl who's always on my mind.

Coming like a Freakshow, baby, I'm not messing around, I'm looking for you.
Coming like a Freakshow
I want to satisfy you honey 'cause I'm looking around and all I see is you.
Coming like a Freakshow

Oh, like Jerry Cherry, sliding down the palm of the hand of a girl who's always on my mind.

Coming like a Freakshow, baby, I'm not messing around, I'm looking for you.
Coming like a Freakshow
I want to satisfy you honey 'cause I'm looking around and all I see is you.
Coming like a Freakshow
Coming like a Freakshow, baby, I'm not messing around, I'm looking for you.
Like a Freakshow
I want to satisfy you honey 'cause I'm looking around and all I see is you.

The Meaning

Oh, I've been mixed up and so afraid because what I'm about to do might be a mistake.
All I see is your face and I don't think I can handle this. It's more than I could take.

Oh, a million miles an hour into the storm. A thousand poison arrows aim for my bones.
Into the night I fly.

Time's passing by. Its not too late, I'll cut that cord, I won't hesitate or be afraid.
I have to go and live my life like I want to and try to find the meaning again.

Of course I don't know how to tell you, because it's the hardest thing I ever had to do.
I wish, girl that I could stay. Part of me wants to marry you; the other, run away.

Oh. a million images roll through my mind. A thousand miracles wouldn't change my mind.
Into the heights I climb.

Time's passing by. It's not too late, I'll cut that cord, I won't hesitate or be afraid.
I have to go and live my life like I want to and try to find the meaning again.

O, a million miles an hour into the storm. A thousand poison arrows aim for my bones.
Into the night I fly.

Time's passing by. It's not to late, I'll cut that cord, I won't hesitate or be afraid.
I have to go and live my life like I want to and try to find the meaning again.

Oh, I've been mixed up and so afraid, because what I'm about to do might be a mistake...

Big City Life

Going away feeling electric blue I should’ve sold all my shit and hit the road to
To know how to live with all that your going through I wish you would come over

Girl or socialite alive all through the night

Life in the big city life in the big city life in the big city life
Life in the big city life in the big city life in the big city life

Don’t want to waste another day through I’m coming out with it and making something new
While I’m awake will I walk or crawl I wish you would come over

Girl Its no surprise here here is your life
Listen I’ll make it right The lights will open your eyes

Life in the big city life in the big city life in the big city life
Life in the big city life in the big city life in the big city life

So many people are running away it seems just like a bird in the night waiting for the sun
as fast as they can there driving away in cars to follow the stars

Girl or socialite alive all through the night

Life in the big city life in the big city life in the big city life
Life in the big city life in the big city life in the big city life

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Fit in

Lies you think I told you all Lies but it was just a disguise
If I had told the truth from the start maybe our love would survive.
Now the truth is never good enough I keep on paying the price
How can we be lovers if you wont let me into your life in your life

You’ll have a good life. You’ll be a star. I wish I had I known you for all that you are
Everyone loves you. You’re a friend till the end. But if you don’t love me
where do I fit in?

If someone was to ask me to sum up what you meant to my life
I’d say you were the most beautiful shining light
But it was always a struggle for me to keep my patients
And did she appreciate the love that I gave to her

You’ll have a good life. You’ll be a star. I wish I had I known you for all that you are
Everyone loves you. Friend till the end. But if you don’t love me
where do I fit in?

Lets cry if we want to cry cant keep these feelings inside
we don’t even know today is the first day of our life

You’ll have a good life. You’ll be a star. I wish I had I known you for all that you are
Everyone loves you. Friend till the end. But if you don’t love me
where do I fit in?
where do I fit in?
where do I fit in?

Worst Looking Man

Here I am in New York City. Looking good, feeling so good
Then I see the most beautiful girl I ever seen. She wont look my way
I said Look hear Momma don’t be so mean

I ain’t the worst looking man you’ve ever seen

There I am on the subway train sitting between two of the finest girls I ever seen
They wont even look at Jerry Cherry what a shame. What a shame what a shame
I said Look hear Momma don’t be so mean

I ain’t the worst looking man you ever seen

Here I am in New York City. Looking good, feeling so good
Then I see the most beautiful girl I ever seen. She wont look my way
Look hear Momma don’t be so mean
I ain’t the worst looking man
Come hear Baby don’t be so mean
I ain’t the worst looking man
Come on Honey don’t be so mean

I ain’t the worst looking man you ever seen

Everywhere

Every time I’m with you I want to kiss you and Every time I see you I fall in love
Every time you call me I wish I could be there for your needs
Every time I want you , you never know it and Every time I see you, your never there
I wish I could be the one you call on when you need

You walk away wondering if I listen to a word you say
I don’t want anybody else all I need is you. Ah no. Everywhere I go

Your everywhere

You don’t think I need you but I always see you from early in the morning till I go to bed
Its making my soul burn to think that I could lose you forever

If you only knew how much its hurts to go a day without you
It drives me mad when all you do is wonder if my love is true. Ah no everywhere I go

Your everywhere

If you could see inside me you’d know my reasons and you might finally notice just how I’m feeling You shouldn’t have to beg for me to listen to you

You walk away wondering if I listen to a word you say
I don’t want anybody else all I need is you. Ah no.
If you only knew how much its hurts to go one day without you
It drives me mad when all you do is wonder if my love is true. Ah no everywhere I go

Your everywhere
Your everywhere
Dance between the moon and stars
Your everywhere

Punished

Just when I thought it was all together I go and break it all apart
Last night I made a big mistake I did something I shouldn’t have done
I didn’t want to feel this way about you. Writing this song is something I didn’t want to do
Girl you been driving me so crazy, you know its all or nothing with you

But I really think that Its over this time
I don’t think this knot will untangle this time
Take all your wishes and put them aside for a while

Why, do I have to do this again
Why, do I go through this again
Why, do I need to be punished? Again and again and again and again and again

I didn’t have the nerve to tell you, what I did the night before
That long train ride was filled with talk of the things that you did wrong
Why do I feel this way about you? Its not like Im gonna marry you or something
I need a girl that’s less like me. And more like you

But I really think that Its over this time
I don’t think this knot will untangle this time
Take all your wishes and put them aside for a while

Why, do I have to do this again
Why, do I go through this again
Why, do I need to be punished? Again and again and again and again and again

But I really think that Its over this time
I don’t think this knot will untangle this time
Take all your wishes and put them aside for a while

Why, do I have to do this again
Why, do I go through this again
Why, do I need to be punished? Again and again and again and again and
Again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again and again

Vampires

I left her on a train, the sun sinking low
She looked so frail, Just skin and bones
Heavy raining heart, thunderous ears
I want her more now, than I ever did before
The one so special to me, I'm flush with Ardor
alluring scent, the taste of skin

But as the night fell, I could hear the screems
Drew me closer to the pain I need
I tradedmy place of refuge for

A room full of Vampires
That’s all I want

I stand before you, complete in my pose
A mind unrestless, thoughts at my dispose
Thanks be to you, for this gift that I’ve received

There is a place kindred souls love to meet
No Cross to bear, no inhibitions, no agony
I traded my place of refuge for

A room full of Vampires
That’s all I want

Come with me, take my hand
We’ll be together now, come meet my friends
Now trade your place of refuge for

A room full of Vampires
That’s all I want
