Lyrics

[00:00.75] Michael plays with stars
[00:04.99] Soul Sister won't you take a ride in his car
[00:13.50] Late to call
[00:15.67] When you wanted to be all
[00:20.13] Baby baby don't be so shy
[00:24.91] Rock children hold your heads up high
[00:30.61] In the night while I try
[00:34.86] And tell the ballad of Valentine
[00:39.51]
[00:44.55] You got it bad, but you know it's true
[00:48.64]
[00:48.78] I caught up with a friend in Dallas
[00:53.09] We took a trip to New Orleans
[00:58.07] Those black-eyed ladies
[01:02.60] Won't say they're sorry
[01:07.71]
[01:07.98] We finally caught a train to Memphis
[01:12.86] Where everybody talks the same
[01:17.84] Those blue suede babies
[01:22.64] All know my name
[01:25.24]
[01:25.44] And I said hold tight
[01:29.83] Can't you see that it's hurting me
[01:34.47] But I've got the buzz
[01:38.64] Like Marlon Brando
[01:41.95] Michael Valentine, can't we unite?
[01:49.98]
[01:51.09] We ended up in North Dakota
[01:55.58] Although my heart's in Mexico
[02:00.52] (spanish language) My munequita
[02:04.30] Abre Tus Ojos
[02:09.99]
[02:10.19] With your new suit, and your black tie
[02:15.02] Hold on, you're just a gambling man, all proper like
[02:19.29] I broke to the right and I caught your eye
[02:25.09] Shut your mouth and wave goodbye
[02:29.74] Tonight, I ain't gonna let you rain on this parade
[02:35.48]
[02:38.23] And I said hold tight
[02:42.60] Can't you see that it's hurting me
[02:47.40] But I've got the buzz
[02:51.69] Like Marlon Brando
[02:54.29] Straight faced with misery tonight
[03:02.07]
[03:02.24] And I will not lie when I say I ain't cold no more
[03:11.50] But I've got the buzz
[03:16.00] Like Greta Garbo
[03:19.01] Walking forward to the sun
[03:23.55] And I've got a cold tale left to write
[03:32.00] Well uh oh
[03:32.31]
[03:33.85] I know he's gonna be there tonight
