MR. MOJO
Lyrics by Joel Eckels
Mr. Mojo, he’s got something to sing ya
Mr. Mojo, he took the place of my fingers
And played you a song, so you’d stay all night long
Mr. Mojo, he found someone who needs him
¬Chorus:
Here’s your chance, turn me loose
Better watch yourself, there’s a devil in me
Here’s your chance, turn me loose
Well, well, well, there’s a devil in me
Baby you want it
Oh yes, you’ve got it baby
That smile could light up the moon
Mr. Mojo likes the way you move
Looks like we found the groove
Brings out the devil in you
God help me
Never thought I’d call a devil no savior
Never thought I lost how to do you right
Girl, I wanna be your favorite flavor
You can crave it all night
Mr. Mojo
Baby, you want it
Oh, yes, you’ve got it baby

SHAME
Lyrics by Joel Eckels
You wanna make it right, but you won’t
Wanna change your tune, but you don’t
Wanna change the world, but you choke
You wonder why the drugs didn’t help
Or how it just gets loud when you yell
Got to stop lying to your self
You’re the only one who can make it change
Don’t try to tell me (3x)
You ain’t got yourself to blame
For the reason who lost love and the money
Now it’s all gone, but it ain’t so funny
Don’t try to tell me (3x)
You ain’t got no shame
I’ll admit I had a hand in this mess
No angel or saint, I confess
Got to come clean with this
Baby, I’ve done all that I can do
Given up on trying to get through
Never giving up on you
No, I’m never giving up on you, baby.
Don’t try to tell me (3x)
Any more reasons why I shouldn’t put up a fight,
That you’re just doing what’s right
Ain’t so black and white.
Why’s it got to be so tough
How can you say you’ve had enough
How can you walk away, we had love
Oh, when we had love baby
Don’t try to tell me (3x)
You ain’t got no shame
Don’t try to tell me (3x)
You ain’t got yourself to blame
For the reason who lost love and the money
Now it’s all gone, but it ain’t so funny

LITTLE BROTHER
Lyrics by Joel Eckels
Your brother don’t know
No, the others don’t know
You tried to tell ‘em but you couldn’t
You’re here with me now
And nobody’s around
Doing all of the things that we shouldn’t
Chorus:
I don’t care what they say,
Sister, won’t you stay
Don’t listen to your little brother
I don’t care what they say
Sister, won’t you stay
He’s been getting his way with my lover
Never did nothing wrong
‘Cept put it in a song
Nobody gave us the information
Whatcha gonna do now?
Just tune it all out
Like changing the radio station
Oh no, never saw it coming
You left me in the dark where they’d rather keep me
Never saw it coming
Girl, you shouldn’t have to leave
CHORUS
Never saw it coming
No, I never saw it coming

THE JOY, THE PAIN
(Lyrics and music by Joel Eckels)
copyright 2009
Ain’t no wonder you got the gift of so much soul
It grew up with you, don’t you know?
Spending all your time trying to make mommy and daddy proud
When they’ve done so much to bring you down
Oh, the joy, the pain
Teaching you everything
It all stuck with you somehow
Oh, the joy, the pain
Bleeding it when you sing
Just look at your daddy now
Watching the time go by
Could be gone with just one blink
You’ve got control
Or that’s what you think
What you don’t know is that you’re ‘bout to lose everything
Can’t keep your mind off of your drink
Oh, the joy, the pain
Somebody’s got to pay
Just might be you today
Didn’t have to be that way
Oh, the joy, the pain
Bleeding it when you sing
Somebody’s got to pay
Got to pay
Ain’t nobody making you do the things that you do
You can make it stop
It’s all up to you
Ain’t no mommy or daddy to blame
You choose to keep on living this way
If you don’t change, your soul will die in vain
Oh, the joy, the pain
Living it everyday
You can’t carry that stuff around
Oh, the joy, the pain
Something has got to change
Ain’t no time better than now
No time,
No time better than now

Bad Blood
Lyrcs by Joel Eckels
Careful speaking your mind
Better watch yourself if you tangle with the grapevine
One day, you’ll know the reason why
I just don’t know about you
I can’t understand all the things that you do
You’re an angel on the outside
Devil on the inside
Nobody’s got a clue
Chorus:
You’re making your bed out of all the things you said
What goes around, comes around
You’re making your bed out of all the things you said
Better keep it down
What goes around, comes around
Everybody’s got a darkside
Everybodys got something to hide
You don’t know mine
But it’s probably just a matter of time
There’s bad blood ‘cause of you
Nobody’s coming to your rescue
You’re not making love, you’re making enemies
That’s who will be coming for you
CHORUS
