The Key to a Woman's Heart The key to a woman's heart is hidden in her eyes If you look there's a window there and you can see inside You can see right to her soul & know her love is true The key to a woman's heart is there in front of you The key to a woman's heart is believing in romance She needs time for love to grow It's more than just a dance It's being there when times are tough When she needs a friend The key to a woman's heart is in the time you spend It's not just one simple thing It's everything you do It's wanting her to be a part of every part of you The key to a woman's heart is trust without a doubt She needs you to respect and care what her dreams are about When she sees you loving her so unselfishly She will unlock her heart and she'll give you the key Copyright 2004 ajMedlock/DanaLanders

L L C Loose Lye (Lie) and Caesar They say Loose Lye prefers married men She reels them in as wife’s close friend Lye bleeds them dry and leaves them broke Then struts for one more man to stroke Loose Lye went after a man called Caesar She sat on his desk - - He couldn’t resist her Caesar gave Lye whatever Lye asked Red mustang, and cash, oh yes! This merger let’s call it L L C Didn’t last very long you see Lye's sure lucky she's not dead With all that went through sweet Sue's head Sweet Sue loved Caesar more than life For twenty three years Sue was his wife Betraying Sue’s trust struck a nerve Sue gave them what they deserved Sue made Lye business cards for a thief Big Red words said Cheatin’ Caesar Week Fools rush in - - It’s someone else’s turn Caesar’s bridge is gonna burn Sue threw the cards on streets all around Caesar’s salad days are long gone now Last I heard things weren't so good He's paying for his crimes in the hood Loose Lye gets hate calls 24-7 Her emails full. You can imagine! Now men know right away the score Her bed needs a revolving door Please pay. No way. Don’t like that plan No one will be her finance man Lately Loose Lye can’t be found Someone said she crawled out of town She's the lowest form of trash they say She stole the wrong man this time I’d say I’m sure there’s one more along Lye's way Don't you wonder whose desk she's on today Copyright 2001 A.

H-O-N-E-Y D-O-S All day I pushed it to the edge I dragged my tired bones to the fridge On the kitchen counter was an envelope Inside I knew there would be a note I tried not to unseal the flap What if I never did uh open that Written in letters big and red Were the words all men dread H - O - N - E- Y D - O - S Honey do this and Honey do that Make sure there's nothing you miss It said, 'This list is for you' What to do first I'll let you choose I'm sure you won't mind these honey dos I held it up close to the light Honey do words jumped through all right Do you want to tell me about your day Would you rather watch tv and see the game Honey do you want a back rub Do you want to join me in our hot tub I know this week's been rough on you These are your honey dos REPEAT CHORUS Copyright 2004 A.J.
