Lyrics


TOO SHORT

Music & Lyrics: Öhman


Every time I go to the convenience store

To get a little treat for myself

I try to reach a bottle of my favorite brew

But it’s hiding on the upper shelves

Now let me tell you, brother, I’m too short

Yeah, I’m way too short

Drinking that old water,

seems to be my last resort


I went to a club just the other night

And met a woman with magical hips

But when I tried to seal the deal

and give her my sweet kiss

I just couldn’t reach her lips

Now let me tell you, brother, I’m too short

Yeah, I’m way too short

The way my love life’s a-going,

it should be on life support


When I turned 18 the army came callin on me

To serve my country and get ready for war

But when they threw a single glance at me

They said ”We sure don’t want you no more”

Yeah, let me tell you brother I was too short

Halleluja, I’m to short

So even though I’ve struggled

I found that there is light

At the end of the tunnel

I will yell with all my might

Cause I have surely found

That it ain’t that bad being a bit too short

HAVE A REAL GOOD TIME

Music & Lyrics: Öhman


We’ve been working so hard, all week long

Just to try to earn a dime

Now the time has come, for us to have a hell of a time

Just jump in shower, put on a shirt and tie

Cause the weekend is here, and we’re feeling all right

So come along, come along,

baby won’t you please come along

We’re gonna have a good time! A real good time!


Oh, I’ll fix you up a drink.

Just sit back and relax for a while.

Cause we’re going downtown,

and we sure gonna put on some style

There won’t be time to argue, there’s no need to fight

There’s a party going on, we’ll be at it all night

So come along, come along,

baby won’t you please come along

We’re gonna have a good time! A real good time!

COLD RIVER OF TEARS

Music & Lyrics: Öhman/Johansson


Hard times and trouble

Is all I'm feeling in my worried mind.

Since you walked out of our happy home

Seems like I spend all my evenings crying

You know, I’m sinking, baby

Just like drowning in a cold river of tears


My, my, my poor old heart

Has broken, has broken in two

Without you baby, in my life

I really, really don't know what I am to do


So I sit alone, with noone else around

But the ghost of all my fears

'Cause since you walked out on me, woman

It feels like I'm drowning

In a cold, cold river of tears

MAKE YOUR MOVE ON ME

Music & Lyrics: Öhman


Girl, I know that I’ve earned your respect

And tender feelings I think I detect

Life would be so good and so true,

if I only dared to say that I love you

But my ability to speak disappears

Every moment that I have you near

And before I could even speak a word

You’re gone again, and I got nothing

’cause I just can’t stand a defeat

When it come sto your love so sweet

So if you want me baby,

You better make your move on me


Babe, I swear by the moon and the stars

That I wanna be just where you are

True love we are certain to find

If I could only leave my shyness behind

And when I try to call you on the phone

I’m kind of hoping that you’re not at home

And before I even stutter a word

You’ve hung up again, and I got nothing

Cause I just….


Make you’re move on me, babe

Cause I’m tired of being by myself

Please put me out of my misery

Don’t leave me sitting here on the shelf

Cause i just…

LYRICS

THAT SWEET LITTLE WOMAN OF MINE

Music & Lyrics: Öhman


My sweet woman, She’s a dream come true

My sweet woman, always pulls me through

Nobody could ever take me away from her

That sweet little woman of mine


My sweet woman, is like the setting sun

She gives me comfort after a hard day’s done

Life without her would be so doggone cruel

That sweet little woman of mine


Oh that woman! When we walk down the street

Peaple stop and stare like she’s some kind of a queen

All the gold in the world, couldn’t lure me away

I’ll be hers alone to my dying day


My sweet woman, oh the joy she brings

My sweet woman, you know I wear her ring

Nobody could ever take me away from her

That sweet little woman of mine

INFECTED BY EVIL

Music & Lyrics: Öhman


You’ve been walking ’neath the street lights

With those women of the night

Performed your dirty deeds, In a manner that ain’t right

No, your manners sure ain’t right


I have watched you from a distance,

Felt the horror creeping in

Cause it sure is hard to fathom

How you thrive with lust and sin

Yeah, you thrive with lust and sin


And now I’m begging you to change your ways

Cause you’re bound to stumble and fall

Right now, if it wasn’t for bad intentions

You would have no intentions at all

You’ve been infected by evil – Evil, evil.


You been piling up excuses,

For the things that you have done

But my heart is growing colder,

As you sink down in the mud

Yeah, you’re sinking in the mud


And now I’m begging you to change your ways….

BLUES AND TROUBLE

Music & Lyrics: Öhman/Svedin


The Bluesman said: ”Being married, to that woman, will only give you

Blues and trouble, mark my words, blues and trouble!

Being married to that woman will only give you blues and trouble”


When I was young, my granpa told me : ”Son

Watch out for women from the land of fun,

They’ll give you blues and trouble

mark my words, blues and trouble!

Those fun-lovin women will only give you blues and trouble”


When I grew up, I couldn’t stay away

’cause women are so lovely, now I’m living every day with

Blues and trouble, mark my words, blues and trouble

Those women are so fine, I can’t resist that blues and trouble


Now I’m old, couldn’t care less

Doesn’t matter that my life was a mess

I got blues and trouble

mark my words, blues and trouble

But I don’t regret a minute, living with blues and trouble

QUIT GOING OUT WITH THAT DOUCHBAG

Music & Lyrics: Öhman


Quit going out with that douchebag baby

You know he’ll only bring you down

Quit going out with that douchebag baby

You know he’ll only bring you down

If you commit yourself to me, girl

I’ll make you the happiest woman around.


I’ll be your lover and your equal

I would do your every bid

When you go out with your girlfriends

I stay home and watch the kids

so Quit going out with that douchebag baby

You know he’ll only bring you pain

Just commit yourself to me, woman

And you’ll have sunshine instead of rain.


You wouldn’t have to wait up, baby

For me to come home drunk at night

And you wouldn’t have to worry

About me trying to pick an easy fight

Quit going out with that douchebag baby

You know he’ll only make you sad

Just commit yourself to me baby,

And I’ll be the kindest man you ever had
