I ain’t no kid
Knocking at your door
Time to decide
If it’s a man
You’re looking for
If you’re ready for a guy who likes
Flowers and fourth dates
Monogamy and free weights
A real man done shown up
And I’ll love you like a grownup
Put away your knickknacks
Your dollies
And your toys
When you’re ready
To forget about
All those little boys
If you’re ready for a guy
With tools and a hardhat
Who isn’t here to play that
A real man done shown up
And I’ll love you like a grownup
Other guys got bathrooms
That are bigger than my yard
Other guys are loaded
But they never work too hard
I got your laughter
And your smile and your grace
And I’m the only one
Who gets to kiss your pretty face
Other guys are tall and tan
With perfect teeth and hair
Other guys got fancy cars
And fifty more to spare
I got you in the morning
And I got you at night
I got you in my bed
And that makes everything alright
Other guys are famous
Because they sing in bands
Other guys got tv shows
And rabid screaming fans
I got your wisdom
And your friendship and your time
Not sure how I did it
But I’m glad I made you mine
by Richard W. Bray
I used to smile at the babies
And sing with the birds
I used to serenade you
With all my pretty words
My soul
Was beaming
Now my
Bloody heart
Is screaming
Cuz you laughed
At my dreaming
And broke me
With your scheming
I used to walk in sunshine
I used to plant flowers
I dawdled in the meadow
And dreamed of you for hours
My soul
Was beaming
Now my
Bloody heart
Is screaming
Cuz you laughed
At my dreaming
And broke me
With your scheming
I cherished every moment
Of our blesséd happy life
Till the day that you told me
You would never be my wife
My soul
Was beaming
Now my
Bloody heart
Is screaming
Cuz you laughed
At my dreaming
And broke me
With your scheming
by Richard W. Bray
You state and speak
And yap and gab
You lecture and scold
And gossip and blab
You’re a chronic talkaholic
And every word you say
Is a futile attempt
To try and get away
You utter and spiel
And spout and spew
But you never come up
With anything new
You’re a chronic talkaholic
Every word you ever said
Is an effort to avoid
The crazy in your head
by Richard W. Bray
Rich and dark and lovely
I drink my coffee straight
Serve it hot and fresh
I don’t got time to wait
Coffee Coffee Joy Joy
I crave you every day
You never disappoint me
Don’t ever go away
Percolate or press it,
Or cook it drip by drip
Just fill my thirsty mug
I cherish every sip
Coffee Coffee Joy Joy
I crave you every day
You never disappoint me
Don’t ever go away
Intoxicants hurt my head
Or make the room spin round
Coffee is the only drug
That never lets me down
Coffee Coffee Joy Joy
I crave you every day
You never disappoint me
Don’t ever go away
Don’t need no fancy mocha
Don’t need no Frappuccino
A simple steaming cup of Jo
And I am good to go
Coffee Coffee Joy Joy
I crave you every day
You never disappoint me
Don’t ever go away
by Richard W. Bray
She broke me so bad
I’m drinking beer for my brunch
And a bottle of whiskey
Is all I have for lunch
She broke me so bad
I fell apart and lost my job
I’m begging on the corner
I swindle and I rob
She broke me so bad
My anatomy stings
She got me seeing monsters
And hearing crazy things
She broke me so bad
My life is such a drag
Got a heart torn and tattered
Like a dirty old rag
I’m lost and I’m loaded
And I’m sick and I smell
I gave all my sweet lovin
To a demon from hell
by Richard W. Bray
Moonlight can caress a face
Who knew?
I never thought I’d meet someone
Like you
Rainbows are so radiant
Who knew?
After rainstorms birds chirp in
The dew
Sunshine is so glorious
Who knew?
I’m bathing in the light since I
Found you
Stars are so spectacular
Who knew?
A billion billion worlds where love
Might brew
The universe is beautiful
Who knew?
Since I discovered that you like
Me too
by Richard W. Bray
My daddy beat me every day
When other kids went out to play
My daddy taught me right from wrong
He made me pure; he made me strong
Wonderin’ what it’s all about
Turns my insides inside out
It hurts to look inside my head
I’d rather just hate you instead
My side’s right and yours is wrong
We’re good and great and pure and strong
You’re demonic; you are sick
Your words are just an evil trick
Wonderin’ what it’s all about
Turns my insides inside out
It hurts to look inside my head
I’d rather just hate you instead
I’ll never walk inside your shoes
We can’t win until you lose
Life’s a seesaw; I can’t twiddle
There is nothing in the middle
Wonderin’ what it’s all about
Turns my insides inside out
It hurts to look inside my head
I’d rather just hate you instead
by Richard W. Bray
I’m lost in the sun
On the 101
Dragging round a torment
That weighs a ton
What can I do
To get back to you?
Can’t find the 57
From the 22
I can drive and drive
On the 405
But I was too dumb
To keep our love alive
I cry again and again
I’ll never take the 10
Back to Cucamonga
And my best friend
I could get away clean
On the 215
Never look back
And bust out of this scene
by Richard W. Bray
