aaron neville - a hard nut to crack

I play the game of the modern romeo but never in my life did I see
A woman as square as a pool table and twice as green
I gave you all of my money and all of my loving too
But now you're goin' around just a telling everybody that I made a fool of you
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you
You're a hard nut to crack
You take a strong man and break his back
I don't know but I've been told, next to you my life's been cold
You're a demon, Girl, you know you're outta sight

Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
Ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you

Know the guy you're giving my money
And you come home and call me honey
You look like you made a resolution, took my best friend John and put him in an institution
You're a demon, Girl you know you're outta sight

Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above to help me to save your love
I want you

You're a hard nut to crack

aaron neville - hercules

All you fear, is fear its self
Check our your own back yard before you check out someone else

Railroad track, in my neighbourhood
Ain?t no trains around that part just ain?t no good

Wanna know, what?s going down,
When the pimp on the corner looks like the sharpest cat in town

Jungle rule, can?t be no fool
Might get caught by the hook of a crook no time for cool

Look out jay, what you say, what you carrying brother
I hope you?re clean cause the man is mean, don?t come another further

We all know the answer, will come out in time
I might even carry some of your load, right along with mine

Thank you ma?am, mister please
?Cause I must be Hercules
I must be Hercules

Like a bird, on the wing
I just wanna be free enough to do my thing

I can feel the pressure, from every side
If you ain?t gonna help, don?t hurt, just pass me by

Oh, no

Hercules
I must be Hercules

Jungle rule, can?t be no fool
Devil is on the loose, no coo
Got your feet, in the sand
Got to be down with the cats that around and still got the face the man

Talk about me if you please but I must be Hercules
Hercules
I must be Hercules

Duckin? rocks, catchin? stones
Movin? how can I survive what?s going on
Big steely borrow
Somehow I?ve got to make it to tomorrow

Can?t depend, on no-one else
Comin? up the hard way I?ve got to save myself

Must be Hercules
I must be Hercules
Talk about me if you please
I must be hercules

aaron neville - ain t no way

Ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
It ain't no way for me
To give you all you need
If you won't let me give all of me

I know that a mans duty
Is to have and love a woman
And that's the way it was planned
Oh but how can I, how can I,
How can I give you all the things I can
If you're tying both of my hands

It ain't no way, it ain't no way,
Just ain't no way, ain't no way, baby
It ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me

Stop trying to be someone you're not
The hard cold truth is, woman,
You paid too much for what you got
And if you need me, baby,
Say, say you do,
Baby, I , baby, baby,
Don't you know that I need you

It ain't no way
I tell you that it ain't no way,
It ain't no way, it ain't no way baby,
Baby, baby, baby
Just ain't no way, sure ain't no way
It ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me

aaron neville - all my life

Linda Ronstadt featuring Aaron Neville
(Karla Bonoff)

Am I really here in your arms
Its just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one I can see

Hey, I've looked All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent All my Life with you
All my Life

And I never really knew how to love
I just hoped somehow I'd see
Asked for a little help from above
Send that angel down to me

Hey, I've looked All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent All my Life with you
All my Life

I never thought that I could feel a love so tender
I never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
and this love will never leave
I know
I know

Hey, I've looked All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent All my Life with you
All my Life
All my Life

Hey, I've looked All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent All my Life with you
All my Life

The night we met I knew I, I needed you so

You know I will adore you 'til eternity.

aaron neville - beautiful night

I thought it would rain forever
Caught in the flood
Reaching for some high ground
Just before I went down

It's hard for me to remember
Just how I got through
Now I'm lying on the cool sand
Happy here where I am

I look up
The setting sun is bathing the world
With a healing light
Little darlin', it's gonna be
A beautiful night

The rolling of distant thunder
Trouble ahead
Now don't you be afraid now
We'll get through it somehow

Just look up
The setting sun is bathing the world
With a healing light
Little darlin', it's gonna be
A beautiful night

Some like burning all night long
Some like howling at the moon
Some just like to sing along
Cause we get lonely,
Lonely, we get so lonely

The stars in the sky above me
Can make me forget
Everything but you, babe,
Everything but you

I look up
See your shining smile
And I know it'll be all right
Little darlin', it's gonna be
A beautiful night

Just look up,
The setting sun is bathing the world
With a healing light
Little darlin', it's gonna be
A beautiful night

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain let it rain

It's gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be

aaron neville - bird on a wire

Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.

aaron neville - brahms lullaby

Lullaby and good night, with roses bedight
With lilies o'er spread is baby's wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed

Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight
Bright angels beside my darling abide
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast

aaron neville - bridge over troubled water

When you're weary feeling small when tears are in your eyes I will dry them all

Oh like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Oh like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

When you're down and out when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard I will comfort you
I'll take your part when oh darkness comes and pain is all around
Yeah like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Oh like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl sail on by your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine oh if you need a friend I'm sailing right out behind
Yeah like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
