===============================l of my chores and you finish thine
Then tonight we're going to party like it's 1699
1-We're been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish Paradise
I churn butter once or twice, living in an Amish Paradise
It's hard work and sacrifice, living in an Amish Paradise
We sell quilts at discount price
Living in an Amish paradise
A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
But I smiled at him and I turned the other cheek
I really don't care, in fact I wished him well
'Cause I'll be laughing my head off
When he's burning in hell
But I ain't never punched a tourist
Even if he deserved it
An Amish with a tool you know that's unheard of
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
And my homies agree I really look good in black, fool!
If you come to visit you'll be bored to tears
We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
We're just technologically impaired
There's no phone, no lights, no motor cars
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe, it's as primitive as can be
(repeat 1)
We're just plain and simple guys
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no time for sin and vice
Living an Amish Paradise
We don't fight, we all play nice
Living in an Amish Paradise
Hitching up the buggy, churning lots of butter
Raised the barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another
Think you're really righteous, think you're pure at heart
Well I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art
I'm the highest guy the little homies wanna be like
On my knees day and night, scoring points for the other life
So don't be vain, and don't be whinny
Or else my brother I might have to get me evil on your hindie
(rpt 1)
We're all crazy Mennonites, living in an Amish paradise
There's no cops or traffic light
Living in an Amish Paradise
But you probably think it bites, living in an Amish paradise
ooh, ooh, ooh ah

ALWAYS BE MY BABY
Mariah Carey
Album: Daydream
Source: <jan...@netaxis.com>
We were as one babe for a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you want to be free
So I'm letting you fly
'Cause I know in my heart
Our love will never die
1-You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy, don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way, you're never gonna shake me
Oh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
I ain't gonna cry, no
And I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave boy
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably, you'll be back again
'Cause you know in your heart babe
Our love will never end
(repeat 1)
I know that you'll be back boy
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder
Oh I know that you'll be right back baby
Oh baby believe me it's only a matter of time
(rpt 1, 1)

Answers to our pleas for help from our dedicated readers

OH VIRGINIA
Blessid Union Of Soul
Album: Home
Source: Phil Spevak <pb...@cornell.edu>
Oh Virginia, oh Virginia
Here's my chance to say thank you to a place
Where all my memories are fond and an essence of my heart
Waiting there with open arms
There's Melissa full of charm
How I miss her so, she's such a sight of love down in
Oh Virginia down the highway to 64
East way to Newport News
There you'll find an open door in
Oh Virginia, all my friends are there to greet me
Just a smile down 64 along the open road
At the Patton Hotel I spent lots of time there
That's where we decided this is where we wanted to be
And down the road on Jefferson you'll find Steamer's close by
If you see Mark and Steve Breen
Tell 'em Jeff and I both said 'hi'
But we were younger and then never knowing then
That she would take us as her own
And make us part of her life
Highway to the sun, we had so much fun
I can't wait to get there and tell 'em
That I miss my second home
Oh Virginia...
Man, I think I like it down here
Oh Virginia...
Oh, lemme see ya put your hands together
Sing along with me, yeah
Oh Virginia, down the way we'll be there in no time
Oh Virginia, just a ride down 64
Oh Virginia, I can see those signs from here
Oh Virginia, 25 miles to Hampton Roads
Oh Virginia, Oh Virginia, Sing it!
We got friends in Yorktown
We got friends in Williamsburg
We got friends in Newport News
We want all of y'all from Portsmouth sing
We got friends in Bluefield we got friends in Richmond
We got friends in Hampton Roads
And down by the beach let me hear everybody, yeah
Oh Virginia
Yeah, Oh, come on I know who you are
Oh Virginia

PROMISES BROKEN
Soul Asylum
Album: Let Your Dim Light Shine
Source: CC LATE SHOW with David Letterman (Feb. 8)
Streets are filled with broken glass
You get buried by the past
And give me just a little taste
Lay this mess to waste, take me home
My mind is racing, take me home
My body's aching so alone
I'll make you wanna stay with me
Befriended by the enemy, one more time
1-Every little thing about this tells me
Nothing out there is ever gonna help me
All these words that I hear spoken
Just promises broken
Looking outside from my window sill
Throw another coin in the wishing well
You'll never find what you're looking for
15 miles your dim light shines, from so far away
Your sad smile is all I see, when I say
(repeat 1)
From the hotel satellite
Don't look like you're livin' right
Here's a deal you can't refuse
You ain't got as much to lose
Can you tell your troubles to
Someone who won't laugh at you, it's all right
And as I watch you walk away
Hope a part of you will stay, it's all right
(rpt 1)

SECTION 6- FH: SONG OF THE YEAR, 1995 (TOP 100 Lyrics)

FREEK'N YOU
Jodeci
Source: cel...@aol.com
I wanna freek you
(8x's)
Every time I close my eyes, I wake up feelin' so horny
I can't get you outta my mind, sexin you be all I see
I would give anything, just to make you understand me
I don't give a damn about nothin' else
freek'n you is all I need
1-Tonight I need your body, tonight you got my time
Tonight you won't be sorry, tonight you have my mind
You got my mind all I wanna do is freek you
What must I say, what must I do
To show how much, I think about freek'n you
Baby
(repeat 1)
I could go on for days, but I couldn't go on for weeks
I can even play with another body
but it wouldn't last cause I 'm a freak
I am everything you see (say)
to go by everything you do
and at night when I close my eyes
I only dream of freek'n you
Whatever you want baby it will be fine so fine
Freek out, and freek me up and down, DeVante swing
Freek out, and freek me up and down
Freek out, and freek me up and down..
