Thick shakes little snakes

fashion accessories earthquakes

five and dime cherry lime

wait my turn at the back of the line

barbed wire forest fire

muddy trail air in my tires

downhill's faster much faster

than uphill no time to kill

take a chill take a pill

headrest on the windowsill

i lived alone so i took him home

he doesn't love me but he keeps me company

everything is alright

grape soda locked door

lost shoe satin star

pink ribbon cellophane

boxing match football game

kitchen floor reggie bar

monster mash corned beef hash

a-ha saxophone

5'3" dial tone

lips parched sousa march

flat foot no arch

i lived alone so i took him home

he doesn't love me but he keeps me company

everything is alright

why do i always pretend i can spoon a guy and still be his friend?

i always wind up crushed out in the end and it makes me crazy

whoa - whoa - whoa crazy

whoa - whoa- whoa

dolly parton was really smart when

she said

"it's not my head that's broken it's my heart-

daddy come and get me"

come and get your baby

your big crybaby

is going crazy

why do i always pretend i can spoon a guy and still be his friend?

i always wind up crushed out in the end

alex p keaton

marla gibbs 227

barry watson seventh heaven

ricky schroeder ricky stratton

soleil moon frye dick van patton

mindy cohn corey haim

tina yothers willie ames

webster joey jeremiah

degrassi junior high

i lived alone so i took him home

he doesn't love me but he keeps me company

everything is alright
