Home Girl

Young man, sailor, had to leave his wife In the prime of his life for sea
Wants to mail her a thousand kisses for the daughter he's never seen
To my girl: you fill my heart each time I start to think of you
And little lady: tell your Mother I have no other love
I wish I were home girl, so I could be with you
And feel the warmth of your love
Tell our baby I'll try to be the Daddy she's dreaming of
Young man, Navy, had an obligation to defend the Nation's pride
Dreamed of a day he would return from service
And be back by his family's side
To my girl: the light of you, gets me through the darkness
And little lady: tell your Mother I have no other love
I wish I were home girl, so I could be with you
I'm praying to God up above
Tell our baby I'll try to be the Daddy she's dreaming of
Home girl - ooh I wish I were home girl - hey
I wish I were home girl. Yes, I wish I were home...

What If I Never Know You

Golden hair and silver eyes
Sad goodbyes: I don't want to say them
Seems as though there ought to be something I can do
To keep from losing you to the same old situation
'Cause what if I never know you
What if I never know you
What if I never really know you at all
I can't think of anything I'd rather do than make love with you
But I'd be a fool to try
My two-way street's been cut in half
Well you know I'd laugh if I didn't feel the need to cry
'Cause what if I never know you
What if I never know you
What if I never really know you at all
I could ignore you, but I'm not that kind
I just want to hold you
Settin' myself up to be knocked down again
But I'd be a liar if I didn't say I want to be close to you now
'Cause what if I never know you
What if I never, ever know you
What if I never really know you at all

King of Diamonds

They called him the King of Diamonds
A name he had earned so well
He'd steal from the rich and keep it all for himself
The Dallas Police were really amazed by the King of Diamonds
And Invisible Bandit, sure got to hand it to you
The man was a criminal genius
Midas with a touch of stone
But when morning came, the verdict was always the same
Detectives couldn't find a clue - only his calling card
And Invisible Bandit, sure got to hand it to you
Not even agents of the FBI
Could catch the King of Diamonds
And Invisible Bandit, sure got to hand it
Invisible Bandit, sure got to hand it
Invisible Bandit, sure got to hand it to you

I'm in love with the touch of you, though we just met this evening
And right now, for a while, I want to taste your smile
Warm and pure, sweet as angel wine, softer than a cloud
It's hard to believe just an hour ago we were dancing
And singing along with the band
But now we're alone and we've got the whole night to carry on
Carry on woman to man
Didn't I make you laugh to break the ice
And serenade you with a song
Now we're gonna rock n roll all night long
I'd kind of like to make you breakfast, if you just want to lay there
But right now, for a while, I'm taking in your style
Warm and pure, elegance and grace, a candlelight upon your face
It's hard to conceive of a time that we weren't together
We're like a hand inside of a glove
And when we're alone we keep finding new ways to carry on
Sharing the rhythm of love
Didn't you sense there was magic in the air
And feel the passions running strong
Now we're gonna rock n roll all night long
We're gonna rock n roll all night long
We're gonna rock n roll all night long
We're gonna rock n roll all night long

Whenever two people take a chance on each other
No promises, no guarantees
Sometimes one can start to feel too much
You find yourself getting lost in the other's touch
That's what happened to me with you
That's what happened to me with you
Keeping control is more than I can do
And I'm wonderin' where we go from here
I'm not trying to make things hard for you
And I know I'm just a wave in your ocean
But am I wrong to tell you how much I care
Might wake up soon and you won't be there
That's what happened to me with you
That's what happened to me with you
I just couldn't help these feelings as they grew
And I'm wonderin' where we go from here
That's what happened to me with you
That's what happened to me with you
And walkin' away is more than I could do
Now I'm wonderin' where we go
I'm wonderin' where we go
I'm wonderin' where we go from here
