LYRICS - Jezahel:
Come tomorrow wade ourselves
inside, amore, oh oh oh
Reunited with my love inside, amore, oh oh oh
Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel
Will we both go home so we can
be together, oh oh oh
Really both go home to stay in
love forever, oh oh oh
Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel
Scorching sun upon a beach near a cantina
Out of reach where there's no one to
come between us, oh oh oh
Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel
(... ...??) your eyes I see desire, oh oh oh
Wind and rain can't stop the flame that
starts the fire, oh oh oh
Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel
ABOUT the Three Degrees:
The Three Degrees are an American female vocal group. Formed in 1963 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the group has always been a trio though there have been a number of personnel changes and a total of fourteen women have represented the group so far. The original members were Fayette Pinkney, Shirley Porter and Linda Turner. Their most successful line-up was Fayette with Sheila Ferguson and Valerie Holiday, these being the ladies responsible for recording their 1974 single "When Will I See You Again" which was a huge international hit, peaking at #2 in the US and topping the UK Singles Chart.[2] Shortly afterwards, the trio became known as Prince Charles's favourite group.
LYRICS - Dirty Ol' Man:
Dirty
Chorus You're a dirty ol' man
You can't keep your hands to yourself
You're a dirty ol' man
Go mess around with somebody else
Now I have told you
You can look but please don't touch
'Cause you don't understand what I mean
Can't you see I'm not old enough
You say that age ain't nothing but a number (number)
Oooh much to experience for me
Oooooooh
All you wanna do is take my love
All you want is another victory
Yououououou
Chorus
Next time you see me
You can't speak but please don't stop
'Cause I believe every word you say
And here I am with a broken heart
Go run your game down, don't waste it on me
nonononoooonoooh
Cause you're a married man and I'm still free
Oooooooh
All you wanna do is take my love
All you want is another victory
Chorus
Dirty, dirty, dirty ol' man
Yeahyeah
