by the fountain, all the lovers get along
they'll kiss, make believe that they belong
meet me up the hills of Babylon
and i'll teach you a special new song
bring your cash, wait for the moon
knock twice before you hum the tune
they've got skinny girls, and boys too
follow the scent of their perfume
step down this way, dear
right through the door, my friend
if you're alone tonight
look for that big yellow sign
come see the house that heaven built
right beneath the neon sun
if your old friends wont wait for you
and that special one turned to be untrue
bring your sorrows and come roll through
into the warm arms of someone brand new
step down this way, dear
right through the door, my friend
if you're alone tonight
look for that big yellow sign
come see the house that heaven built
right beneath the neon sun
she'll never forget what ive done
its too late to right that wrong
back up the hills is where i'll run
and sing again that beautiful song
come see the house that heaven built
right beneath the neon sun
come see the house that heaven built
right beneath the neon sun
come see the house that heaven built
right beneath the neon sun
come see the house that heaven built
right beneath the neon sun

"im so happy i met you baby
i was a wreck till i found you
made me straight when i bent wrong
kept me from my own harm"
thats what annie say
"you aint too old, papa
and i likes em that way
ill wear that black skirt
ride me down that beltway"
thats what annie say
sugar baby, say im the one
just say you do
annie baby, who you love now
just say you do
annie where my money gone
i dont believe you
then you turn the light down low
and you dance real slow
now i remember just why
i fell like a domino
tell me why you gotta go
"he dont mean a thing to me
love aint a game for three
come over here now sugar
dont you want some honey"
thats what annie say
"like a wheel turning round & round
must be love on the brain, yeah
in the night, the talk dies down
and that feeling comes again"
thats what annie say
sugar baby, say im the one
just say you do
annie baby, who you love now
just say you do
annie where my money gone
i dont believe you
little lithe waist, my chinese plum
come closer now
i aint no good, daddy G
what a shame about me
the best is yet to come
sugar baby, tell me im the one (now)
just say you do, just say you do
