1. A Talent For Loving

I'm gonna be the real lover that you can't resist
Of all the kissers baby, I'll be topping your list
Brighter than the diamonds that are lighting your wrist
Well, you're my favorite reason that I've got to exist

I ain't got a "plan B" y'all I ain't gonna fail
There's no future fronting like a typical male 
Time to pull your hair back in a ponytail
It's about to get more humid than a Miami jail

Your royal hotness is second to nothing 
I'm gonna show you pretty one I've got a talent for loving

You come downtown baby, when you get uptight
Always ring me up in the middle of the night
Saying you need a dose of shining disco lights
Well, come and see 'bout me and it'll be outta sight!

Your royal hotness is second to nothing 
I'm gonna show you pretty one I've got a talent for loving

2. Fall Out

I've got an idea we should get down every night
I'm Casanova, you can dress yourself in white
You rock me so hard, teeth fall out of my head
I'll rock you so hard, we fall out of your bed

Gimme shelter, we can hide out till the dawn
Ain't getting younger, but I can keep it going on
You rock me so hard, teeth fall out of my head
I'll rock you so hard, we fall out of your bed
Fa Fall Out! Fa Fall Out!

We need a chauffeur who won't look into the back
My private dancer you can be my sugar smack
You rock me so hard, teeth fall out of my head
I'll rock you so hard, we fall out of your bed
Fa Fall Out! Fa Fall Out!

3. U Had The $ 

Your mama told you you would see the future
So she bought you a crystal ball
And when it warned you not to meet a moocher
It showed you how hard you would fall

And now they blame me for the fun times that you have
They grabbed a laser, cut your credit cards in half
And when your mama said she'd disinherit you
Well, they repossessed your shoes but they can't deny the truth

U had the $
Now all you have is time
U may be slumming
But U can still be mine

You spent your summers on the Riviera
I spent mine sweating 9 to 5
How could your crystal ball be in error?
Somehow you fell for all my jive

4. Everything My Heart Desires

I've been wanting you for the longest time
If you heard different darling, that's the devil's own lie
Can I tell you all the ways the scent of you drives me wild
Or how you won me over the first time that you smiled

You're all that I could want in this world, you're everything my heart desires
You're all that I could want in a girl, you're everything my heart desires

Your love is a silky symphony 
And I'm wrapping my heart around the joy you've given me
But if this warm embrace has to last me through the night
The promise of what comes tomorrow is gonna make it alright

You're all that I could want in this world, you're everything my heart desires
You're all that I could want in a girl, you're everything my heart desires
You're everything
Everything my heart desires

5. Everyone's Ingénue

Everyone's ingénue on the marquee kissing the night with her gloss
Ooh, child, it's your destiny to put the city on pause
Everyone's ingénue in the lenses sealing her moment in time
A girl like this all she needs is another billboard to climb

You're my inspiration, you're the ingénue
Known in every nation and I love you, love you, love you

Everyone's ingénue wasn't Miss Thing 14 minutes ago
Now AccessE! tells us who she's kissing like they covered the war

You're my inspiration, you're the ingénue
Known in every nation and I love you, love you, love you

Everyone says you're a fool for reaching
They can be so bourgeois
Everyone says you're a fool for dreaming
Now they orbit your star

You're my inspiration, you're the ingénue
Known in every nation and I love you, love you, love you

6. Sucka

People better recognize what we're trying to prove
We just want to see your assess move
Asian, White or Black, or Latino, Jack
Now you can be a statue at the Louvre
Let's Groove

Hey Sucka
Let's Dance

People better recognize we've got a primal side
It's a Neolithic urge that's river wide
Doo rag in my hair and I'm a shake my derrière
The girls and I are gonna do the slide tonight!

Lyrics © Norman Kelsey, Mighty Ohio Music (BMI)

7. Done Lost My Mind

Poetry don't have a chance in your presence
I should feel lucky I can form a sentence
My senses are failing something's going on
But I can taste your kisses even when you're gone
You're so damn fine, I done lost my mind
I can't deny I done lost my mind

Lately I've been late to work, early coming home
What I have forgotten I didn't need to know
Your touch is so soothing, it's the sweetest thing I've felt
When we get to grooving I begin to melt
You're so damn fine, I done lost my mind
I can't deny I done lost my mind

Please don't think I'm tripping in more ways than one
My CD ain't skipping, let's go have some fun

You're so damn fine, I done lost my mind
I can't deny I done lost my mind

8. I Can't Cry For You

I told you I didn't want you parking here no more
So why is it that you are darkening my door
The one that you forsook me for is Mr. Wrong
Well, call your sister ring a bell and bang a gong
Because

I can't cry for you
There's nothing left to shed
I can't cry for you
You left our love for dead
I can't cry for you
You'll get no sympathy
I can't cry for you
I can't cry for you
Did you cry for me?

I need you like I need a call to 911
Hearing 'bout your broken heart just isn't fun
You're calling me some pet names that I never had
I'd be laughing if it wasn't so sad
Because

Lyrics © Norman Kelsey, Mighty Ohio Music (BMI)

9. Down By Love

You swore a million times today that you wouldn't ever sway
You would never drop your guard
Then I saw you walking by all the tears that's in your eyes
Really aren't your calling card
Only you can solve your doubt
But I want to help you work it out

Could you be more torn apart? Baby, open up your heart 
You're down by love
You could get what you deserve if you ever got the nerve
But you're down by love

You don't want to choose again you've been with too many men
Who have left you with the bill
No you shouldn't be alone, I know you've got a telephone
Call me when you want to chill
Only you can solve your doubt
But I want to help you work it out

Could you be more torn apart? Baby, open up your heart 
You're down by love
You could get what you deserve if you ever got the nerve
But you're down by love

You're so down that you've lost the spirit and the feeling's tossing you around
Shut the noise out, baby you will hear it. It will call your spirit with a beautiful sound

10. Roosevelt's Revue

I know exactly what you’re thinking.
The Revue’s a legend, only myth.
But I promise you my friends
That the party never ends
And I’m giving all of you a lift.

My cousin called me from the dance floor
Said the Revue was blowing up the chart
Got to get your groove along
Cause they’ll play your favorite song
If the music is in your heart

Everybody’s dancing
Up at Roosevelt’s Revue (Oooh! Ooh!)
Everybody’s dancing
Up at Roosevelt’s Revue (Oooh! Ooh!)

All the girls
All the boys (x2)
All the girls

So grab your moment in the spotlight
With sophisticated steps or not
The song is really simple
And love is the tempo
The Revue is so cool it’s hot

Lyrics © Norman Kelsey, Mighty Ohio Music (BMI)

11. Love Someone

There’s a wheel turning ‘round in the sky and in your heart
It’s very real even if your eyes should lie
I know you said you’re suffering fools
Just remember someone’s suffering you
Here’s what you’ve got to do
You’ve gotta Love Someone

What you dish will come back in the end a thousand fold
You’ll be known by the message you send
Just desserts are only seconds away
Sweet as Cointreau in the crème brulee

Now didn’t you hear me say
You’ve gotta Love Someone

It’s like flying through the center of the sun.
