Ice Cream In Hell [CD]

(Tinsley Ellis, Heartfixer Music, BMI)

It’s a combat zone
Better be ready to fight
I can’t leave her alone
Not only in the dead of night
Love's a losin’ battle
Might leave you broke down and busted someday
But I’ll love her some more
If he’s the last one to know

Be no breakin’ up
There’ll be no breakin’ down
We’ve both gone too far
To think about turning around
If love’s a guilty pleasure
There'll convict me in the first degree
So I’ll love her some more
If he’s the last one to know

When there’s a big explosion
I’ll have a story to tell
Gonna cause a big commotion
When we try to un-ring that bell

When there’s nothin’ left
‘Cause there weren’t nothin’ right
Gonna stand my ground
Never give up the fight
What’s gone on in the dark between us
Surely come to light someday
Till then I’ll love her some more
If he’s the last one to know
Yes I’ll love her some more
If he’s the last one to know

If dogs could talk
‘Bout what they’ve seen
They'd rule the whole damn world
So much for man’s best friend
If dogs could talk
They'd really tell it all
So you don’t know beans
You don’t know it all

Who you gonna believe
Me or your lyin’ eyes?
Your suspicious mind
Makin’ this love die
Who you gonna believe?
Think you saw us at the mall
You don’t know beans
You didn't see us at all

Talk is talk
Things ain’t what they seem
Put away your microscope
Turn off that big brain
You was told a story
‘Bout me and a girl
That talk is gonna
Blow up my whole world

I said all that to say
It’s all up in your brain
Your mouth is like a machine gun
Shootin’ bullets of insane
I said all that to say
You ain’t on the ball
You don’t know beans
You don’t know me at all
You don’t know beans
You don’t know it all

(Tinsley Ellis, Heartfixer Music, BMI)

Well you never really see ‘em comin’
You just try to get out of the way
When the fires around you are burnin’
And it’s just too damn hot to stay
The way I am with bad love
I know just how a man should react
When they serve ice cream in hell
I’m going to take you back

Don’t go gettin’ angry
You ain’t gettin’ nothing more
Better not get too close to me
Unless I’m standin’ by the door
Turn off all your waterworks
The crocodile tears are just an act
When they serve ice cream in hell
I’m gonna take you back

You’ll probably make up some story
‘Bout how I hit you or somethin’ like that
No court would hear it, no jury should
Convict a man for shoutin’ back
I won’t face another day
Puttin’ up with all of your crap
When they serve ice cream in hell
I’m going to take you back
When they serve ice cream in hell
I’m going to take you back

(Tinsley Ellis, Heartfixer Music, BMI)

Meet me down around the corner
The place where we always met
I got somethin’ for you baby
You can’t get from no one else
Haven’t seen each other lately
After this grudge I held
When you call a man a fool
You're only foolin’ yourself

Stomped on each other's hearts
And mashed those suckers flat
I know it’s kinda hard
To bring a dead thing back
Why you feel like you have to
Put my lovin’ on a shelf?
When you call a man a fool
You’re only foolin’ yourself

When we took our lovin’ door-to-door
Made us miss our good thing more and more
I tell everybody that I know
And they all agree

Got a truckload of lovin’
But don’t let it go to your head
Got a whole lot of explainin’ to do
After all the bad things that were said
Don’t tell me you don’t love me
That you’re savin’ it for someone else
When you call a man a fool
You’re only foolin’ yourself
When you call a man a fool
You're only foolin’ yourself
When you call a man a fool
You’re only foolin’ yourself

What can I do
When my tears won’t stop fallin’ down?
Oh, I’m all out of laughter
Like a sad old circus clown
Ever since we’ve been apart
I got a hole shaped like you in my heart

Ain’t got no one to talk to
To tell my troubles to
Ain't got a soul to laugh with
When the sun comes peekin’ through
Ever since we’ve been apart
I got a hole shaped like you in my heart

Oh, I finally learned my lesson
Shoulda happened long time ago
It was like a funeral procession
When it came on really slow
Ever since we’ve been apart
I got a hole shaped like you in my heart

Ever since we’ve been apart
I got a hole shaped like you in my heart

(Tinsley Ellis, Heartfixer Music, BMI)

Let me tell you baby
What I say is true
I ain’t been with you lately
Ain’t sure if I love you
Sit tight baby
Hold still so I can see
Won’t you sit tight mama?
You’re right where you supposed to be

Come runnin’ down the stairs
With curlers in your hair
Who you gettin’ pretty for
Or should I even care?
Sit tight baby
Hold still so I can see
Won’t you sit tight mama?
You’re right where you supposed to be

Go back to Alabama
Go back where you belong
Tell everybody there
That our love is wrong
Sit tight baby
Stay far away from me
Just sit tight mama
You’re right where you supposed to be

(Tinsley Ellis, Heartfixer Music, BMI)

Oh baby, don’t take your lovin’ on the town
Oh baby, don’t take your lovin’ on the town
You’re makin’ me so nervous
Way you’re strollin’ it around

You scramble up some eggs
Like you scramble up my mind
You take and take and take
Treat me so unkind
Oh baby, don’t take your lovin’ on the town
Like a city after dark
Lovin’ you ain’t no stroll in the park

Think I’ll call me a cab
And take a look around
I’ll peek out that cab’s window
Like I’m searchin’ lost and found
Oh baby, don’t take your lovin’ on the town
Like a city after dark
Lovin’ you ain’t no stroll in the park

I stay evil till sunrise
Hate the light of day
I stay evil till sunrise
I hate the light of day
I been drinkin’ wine all night
Since my baby she went away

People try to tell me
I need to change my ways
Some people try to tell me
Way past time to change my ways
I stay evil till sunrise
How I greet the break a day

I know it’s a young man’s game
But I’m in it to stay
Don’t try to tell me what to do
Fighter don’t run away

I stay evil till sunrise
I kinda like it that way
I stay evil till sunrise
I don’t know, I kinda like it that way
Gonna do it to my grave
Or my baby comes back to stay
Gonna do it to my grave
Or my baby comes back to stay

(Tinsley Ellis, Heartfixer Music, BMI)

Living it up
Is bringing us down
Got me running ‘round in circles
Grin upside down

Fallin’ off the edge
It don’t sound like fun
We got to stop fightin’
Everything and everyone

Oughta learn a lesson
Breakin’ all the rules
Trial is in session
For guilty lovesick fools

Sleep away the day
Hidin’ from the sun
We got to stop fightin’
Everything and everyone

Better walk on egg shells
Ya step on broken hearts
No more useless fighting
It’s tearin’ us apart

At the end of our rope
With nowhere to run
We got to stop fightin’
Everything and everyone
We got to stop fightin’
Everything and everyone

(Tinsley Ellis, Heartfixer Music, BMI)

Unlock my heart
Get the key and let it go
Unlock my heart
Get the key and let it go
Unlock my heart
I can’t take it no more

You're a mean hearted woman
And you don’t mean me no good
You're a mean hearted woman
And you don’t mean me no good
You're drinkin’ liquor like water
You’re the talk of the neighborhood

Unlock my heart
Get the key and let it go
Unlock my heart
Get the key and let it go
Unlock my heart
I can’t take it no more

You're nothin’ but trouble
Don’t give me no peace of mind
You ain’t nothin’ but trouble
Don’t give me no peace of mind
You’re known in every joint
Hang around till closing time

Unlock my heart
Get the key and let it go
Unlock my heart
Get the key and let it go
Unlock my heart
I can’t take it no more

Your love’s like heroin
I was hooked right from the start
Your love’s like heroin
I was hooked right from the start
It feels like it’s trying to kill me
Like a bullet through my heart

Once I had some of your sweet lovin’
I had to have some more
Once I had some of your sweet lovin’
Lord, I had to have some more
You gave me too much for too long
Now I need it and I just can’t score

Your love’s like heroin
And it’s killin’ me by degrees
Your love’s like heroin
And it’s killin’ me by degrees
I thought I could control it
But it’s got a death grip on me
