DUET: SONG REQUIRES (M) MALE & (F) FEMALE VOCALS
Well I went down to the old Creek side
My throat was parched and my lips were dry
Grabbed myself a beer as I stepped inside
Lady on the stage she was singing the blues
bee-bop boo-bah ? bee ? bop boo
She looked at me up and down like I was bad news
bee-bop boo-bah ? bee ? bop boo
I thought to myself - I got nothing to loose
Nothing to loose
I was in conrtrol
who?s foolin who
I was in control
who?s foolin who
I know what I like - and I like what I do
who?s foolin who
Later that night as the crowd grew thin
I walked up to her ? she was sippin on gin
bee-bop boo-bah ? bee ? bop boo I said hey baby your sure looking sweet
come home with me and make the night complete
Sure thing baby ? but understand me
I don?t like it short - I don?t like it sweet
underneath the covers - I compete!
well alright
Well it was passion for passion Baby
Flesh to flesh
She ran her nails down my back
I bit the buttons off her dress (OOHH)
I was beginning to wonder if I could past this test
She let out a moan - (oh baby)
As I ran out of breath
I was in control
who?s fooling who
I was in control
who?s foolin who
I know what I like - and I like what I do
I woke in the morning and she was gone
Left me a note - that sent such a chill - She said:
I love the way you love me Baby
but your attitude is to much overkill
There on the bed next to me
Lay a hundred dollar bill
I was in control
I was in control
I was in control
who?s foolin who ?( both voices)
