Sue Foley Lyrics
Better Forget everything you ever learned in school I don't need no…
Careless Love Love, oh love, oh careless love You've fly through my head…
Chauffeur Blues Won't you be my chauffeur Won't you be my chauffeur…
Come Into My Arms I'm tired of being lonely, Living by myself I want you…
Give It To Me You give me your silver But you won't give me your…
Give Me Time You give me your silver But you won't give me your…
Long Distance Lover When the sun rises this morning Where will you be When it…
Love Sick Child Well I'm standin' in your doorway honey I sure do wanna…
Lover's Call The sun don't shine And the rain don't fall All the world…
Me & My Chauffeur Blues Won't you be my chauffeur Won't you be my chauffeur…
Me and My Chauffeur Blues Won't you be my chauffeur Won't you be my chauffeur…
Positively 4th Street You got a lotta nerve To say you are my friend When…
The Ice Queen Came here this evening, From far away from here Came to…
The Wind You ain't losin' me for money Ain't losin' me for blues Ain'…
To Be Alone with You I'd swim across Lake Michigan I'd sell my shoes I'd give my…
Train to Memphis There's a train goin' to Memphis Please can I go A train…
Try to Understand Well I'm always thinkin' I'm always tryin' I'm always lookin…
Walk In The Sun Everybody sees a change in me No longer standin' where I…
Wayward Girl Lookin' at the sky, wonderin' why Why am I here in…
