Like I always say, what's good for the geese
Is always good for the gander
Oh, Sheila

Oh, baby love me right
Let me love you till I get it right
Can't you let the others be
'Cause with you is where I got to be, yeah

Oh, sugar where you been
Hangin' out with your male friends
Listen, somebody's going to hurt you
The way you love, to keep hurting me
And we sing

Oh, oh, Sheila let me love you till the morning comes
Oh, oh, Sheila you know I want to be the only one

Oh baby, understand that I want to be the only man
But it seems as though it's getting too hard
And I think I'll start to have my own friend

Oh baby, it's plain to see
That you're qualified to fulfill your needs
You think you pulled one over on me
Well honey, baby, just you wait and see
And we sing

Oh, oh, Sheila let me love you till the morning comes (just tryin' to say)
Oh, oh, Sheila you know I want to be the only one (for her)

Oh, baby, it's one two three
I love you baby honestly,
I want to di a di da li, a di a di da li

Oh, oh, Sheila
Oh, Sheila
Oh, oh, Sheila
Oh, Sheila

Oh, baby, love me right
Let me love you till we get it right
Can't you let the others be
'Cause with you is where I got to be, yeah

Oh, baby understand
That I want to be the only man
You think you pulled one over on me
(Well, honey, baby, just you wait and see)
(And we sing)

Oh

Oh, oh Sheila
Let me love you till the morning comes (just wanna say)
Oh, oh, Sheila
You know I want to be the only one

Oh, oh Sheila
Let me love you till the morning comes
Oh, oh, Sheila
You know I want to be the only one

(Here we go, oh)

    Nobody has anything to say or complain about this song??!!Sounded like Prince,but they weren't. Probably better known for their follow up "Let Me Love You Down".Later covered by "Njoi".

    I love this song, surprised that more people don't know it. It's upbeat, and perfect turn up the volume kind of song when it comes on the car radio. Sounds just like Prince, from the vocals, to the beat, to the tune, right down to how the singer sounds like he's making love while singing it. I thought it was him for the longest time, but apparently it's by this group Ready for the World who contributed yet another great 80s song.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
