'cause I'm a baby
'cause I'm your lady
Sometimes I am surprised but I'm ready to love
Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn
And if I just read your rights.
But it might just save your life.
Bricks like cream.
Rich like cream.
But if I just save your life
But it might just save your life
But mimes just saved your life
But it might just save your life.
But mines just saved your life.
But it might just save your life.
But you know what to do
When it gets over you.
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you.
Change a hawk, into a little white girl
Change a hawk, into a little white dove
Change of heart into a little white dove.
Change a hawk into a little white dove.
Change your heart into a little white dove
Change a hawk into a little white dove
Dale Winton's on fire
With tongues of fire
Don't need a Predacon to ride this train.
Don't need a credit card to ride this train.
A Predacon was, of course, one of several product lines of Transformer toys.
Don't need no Kritiker to ride this train.
Don't need no credit card to ride this train.
Don't need no credit card to buy cocaine.
Don't need no credit card to ride this train.
Don't need to be critical to ride this train.
Don't need no credit card to ride this train.
Drinks like cream
Rich like cream.
First time you feel it, my nipple's sad
First time you feel it, it might make you sad
I'll protect you from the hooter call.
I'll protect you from the hooded claw.
Lust is how I'm feeling.
Lost is how I'm feeling.
Make-uh one man weak, make another man sing
Change your heart to a little white dove
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
Morgan Freeman, that's the power of love.
More than a feeling, that's the power of love.
Puts that cream.
Rich like cream.
Strong, and it's sudden
And it's cool sometimes.
It's strong and it's sudden
But it'll be cruel sometimes.
Stronger than diamonds,
reeks like cream
Tougher than diamonds,
rich like cream
That's Pavlov's dogs.
That's the power of love.
The feeling that I can't go on
Is that he's away
or
Is that here's a way
or
Is like he's away
or
Is that he will sway.
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away.
They say that falling in love ain't fair
They say that all in love is fair
Tougher than diamonds,
Prints like reams
or
Tougher than diamonds
Bricks like cream
Tougher than diamonds
Rich like cream
Tougher than diamonds, prince like cream
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Tougher than diamonds
Grits and cream
Tougher than diamonds
Rich like cream
Tougher than diamonds
Quick-set cream
Tougher than diamonds
Rich like cream
Tougher than diamonds
Whips like cream.
Tougher than diamonds
Rich like cream.
With tons of fire
Hurts the soul.
With tongues of fire
Purge the soul.
'Cause I am your neighbor
And you are my friend
'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
'Cause I'm Greg Brady
'Cause I'm your lady
'Cause I'm a baby
'Cause I'm your lady
Am I Mickey Mantle?
It might make you mad
Am I Mickey Mouse?
It might make you mad
Birds this old, make love your goal
Purge the soul, make love your goal
But did I just stain your eyes
But it might just save your life
But you might just change your mind...
But it might just save your life...
Change of heart to a little white dove
Change a hawk to a little white dove
Don't need a cable car to ride this train
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
To be even more honest, Huey Lewis and the News is just outside San Francisco, and mishearing it may make sense since cable cars are a common feat in the city.
Don't need no kitty cat to ride this train.
Don't need no credit card to ride this train.
Don't need no pretty car to ride this train.
Don't need no credit card to ride this train.
Don’t need a dream car to ride this dream
Don’t need no credit card to ride this train
Drinks like cream
Rich like cream
First time you see him, mmmmm Mickey man.
First time you feel it, it might make you sad
It's sad that remaking Back to the Future would ruin the memories, but at the same time, if they did it correctly, perhaps with the offspring of Marty McFly, it could work, but it would have to be done like "Kobra Kai" style (well done with special care and attention to the fans, etc).
Get your motor running
or
Start your motor running
Stop your motor running
Hold on to your wallet
I hold on to your body
I hold on to your whole body
In fear of the truth you mend
I hold on to your whole body
And feel each move you make
I'll protect you from the wooden clouds
I'll protect you from the Hooded Claw
It's a scream
Rich like cream
It's hot in the summer
It'll be cool sometimes
It's strong and it's sudden
And it's cruel sometimes
Keep the vampires from the dark
Keep the vampires from your door
Prince likes cream
Rich like cream
Editor's note: Prince did record a song called "Cream", but it was after this one. That said, could Huey have possibly influenced Prince, or predicted that he would write such a song?
Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to lunge
For the power of love.
Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn
From the power of love.
Sometimes I am surprised but I'm ready to love
Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn
Sometimes I am vaccinated but I'm ready to learn
Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn
Stronger than diamonds, reeks like cream
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
The feeling that I can't go on is right here somewhere.
The feeling that I can't go on is light years away.
The feeling that I can't go on
Is lighted away.
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away.
They say that only love is fair
They say that all in love is fair
Tougher than China
Tougher than diamonds
Tougher than Simon's bricks like cream,
Corduroys are a bad girls dream
Tougher than diamonds, whips like cream,
Stronger and harder than a bad girls dream
Tougher than diamonds, Prince and Cream
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
We're headed for Soul Train
We're heading for something
Whenever you're weak for me
Whenever you reach for me
With my undying depth-defying love for you
Empty will hurt itself.
With my undying, death-defying love for you
Envy will hurt itself.
With my undying, testifying love for you
With my undying, death-defying love for you
Your voice is oh Nintendo.
Your voice is warm and tender.
