If Love Is a Red Dress (Hang Me in Rags) - Maria Mckee



My heart is empty
Your eyes are dull
Once we were hungry
Now we are full

These ties that bind us
Can't beat these chains
If love is shelter
I'm gonna walk in the rain

You were my angel
Now you are real
So like a stranger
Colder than steel

The morning after
No one should brag
If love is a red dress
Well hang me in rags

Oh well, there goes the fairytale
Lord, ain't it a shame
In all this comfort, I can't take the strain

If we played even
I'd be your queen
But someone was cheatin'
And it wasn't me

I played on the table
You held something back
If love is aces, gimme the jack

Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon - Urge Overkill



Girl, you'll be a woman soon

I love you so much, can't count all the ways
I've died for you girl and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of putting me down
And I'll never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know girl

You'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're saying girl it cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"
Well I've finally found what I'm a-looking for
But if they get their chance they'll end it for sure
Surely would
Baby I've done all I could
Now it's up to you girl

You'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, but soon you'll need a man

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand

You Never Can Tell - Chuck Berry



It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"

They furnished off an apartment with a 2-room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and Ginger ale
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"

They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
700 little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"

They bought a souped-up jitney, was a cherry red '53
And drove it down to Orleans to celebrate their anniversary
It was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "it goes to show you never can tell"
