Music Man Tonight

Waiting for the curtains to open, let me be your music man tonight.
Trying so hard to be popular, let me be your music man tonight.
Superstars are just like magic - now you see them, now you don't
I keep telling myself that I'll give up but sure as hell I won't.
'Cause I'm a music man, a one-night stand.
Let me be your music man tonight.
None of you know me as I really am, only as your music man tonight.
The road can feel so tragic, surrounded but you're all alone.
I keep telling myself -- I'll give up but sure as hell I won't.
Superstars are just like magic - Now you see them, now you don't!
I keep telling myself -- I'll give up but sure as hell I won't.
Ohhho. Ohhho. Let me be your music man tonight.
Ohhho. Ohhho. Let me be your music man tonight.
Ohhho. Ohhho. Let me be your music man tonight.
Ohhho. Ohhho. Let me be your music man tonight.
Ohhho. Ohhho. Let me be your music man tonight.

It was Ladies Night, feelin' right. Boots on and jeans are tight.
Felt I was cookin', and I was lookin' for a guy to go drinkin'
Without too much thinkin' If you know what I mean.
Well he was sharp dressed, well-pressed, his face was Heaven-blessed.
The way he dances, I'll take my chances.
This guy's the reason I'm declaring open season on my heart!
Let's do a double shot: ready-or-not, here I come. You're takin' it slow, but I want to run. We both feel it, but where to begin?
What kind of love am I fallin' in?
We did a line dance on the floor, heel-to-toe, back and forth.
He had the rhythm, and I would give him anything that he wanted
But he liked to take his own sweet time.
Back at the bar we got a little bit closer.
We started playin' and I didn't say, "No sir."
We both could tell that we were layin' it on the line.
Let's do a body shot: ready-or-not, here I come. One night with you would be so much fun. We placed our bets -- I'm all-in!
What kind of love am I fallin' in?
Let's do another shot: ready-or-not, here I come. Stay up all night so we can wait for the sun. Could this be right when it feels like a sin?
What kind of love am I fallin' in?
What kind of love am I fallin' in?

I hold your body next to mine. The feel of your heartbeat sending a chill running up my spine. Wakin' up to a Sunday morning, a kiss from you to show me the way. Won't you wrap your arms around me? Hold me like I want you to. I want to grow another day younger with you.
Gentle breezes brush your hair. The sun beams in your eyes and pardon me if I stare! It's never been like this before, I wish that I could stay.
Won't you wrap your arms around me? Hold me like I want you to.
I want to grow another day younger with you.
I've spent so many nights alone. It's nice to know you're there in my dreams when I get home. But wakin' up to a Sunday morning, I wish that you were here....So you could wrap your arms around me. Hold me like I want you to. I want to grow another day younger with you.
Another day younger with you.

I've Got My Telephone

I get no satisfaction from social inter-action.
I'm not a fan of the plan to hang with the dudes and ladies.
I've never liked a crowded room, reminds me of a sonic boom
Or the backfire of a 2017 Mercedes.
I've never needed face-to-face to feel like I have found my place.
My best company is my hand-held technology.
One time I dated - I think it's overrated.
Holding hands was nice but I prefer to hold my device.
Some people say I'm missing, a human touch and kissing,
But with an internet connection I get lots of attention!
Don't worry that I have no friends.
Or 'bout my live-stream that never ends.
'Cause I'm never gonna be alone: I've got my telephone.
I've got my telephone.
I like to use Google Maps, and hundreds of my other apps
To navigate my way, day-to-day all around the planet.
I can use my camera. To take some pics of Tamara.
Or maybe some other girl, I think she said her name was Janet.
Some people think I'm a freak,
because I'd rather browse than sleep.
But let me tell you, I feel fine - when I can live my life online!
Now don't you worry that I have no friends,
Or 'bout my live-stream that never ends.
'Cause I'm never gonna be alone: I've got my telephone.
I've got my telephone. I've got my telephone!
