Dirty Tricks "Marcella" 
(lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: "Dirty Tricks"


Marcella with the laughing eyes
She taught me love, she made this man go wild 
Macella, she was good to me 
Oh, I loved her, she loved my company 

One man's son and one man's daughter know 
Everybody plays the game 
Never really try to stop them now 
Almost every you are to play

Marcella had a one-track mind 
She knew it all, thought that I was blind 
Marcella, I've been a fool before 
My thought is strong, I can't take no more

One man's son and one man's daughter know 
Everybody plays the game 
Never really try to stop them now 
Almost every you are to play

Marcella with the laughing eyes
She taught me love, she made this man go wild 
Macella, she was good to me 
Oh, I loved her, she loved my company 

One man's son and one man's daughter know 
Everybody plays the game 
Never really try to stop them now 
Almost every you are to play

Dirty Tricks "Too Much Wine" 
(lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: "Dirty Tricks"


I was planning on me 
having a real good time 
Chasing ladies, running crazy 
Not in no crime 
But lately, I've been thinking
This love I gotta find 
Just lately I've been sinking 
Too much wine 

I was looking for a woman
Said the ones they’re only fun 
With a shady foreign lady
I’ve spent a special time 
Well I moved in kinda closer 
She must have read my mind 
Told me I've been sinking
Too much wine 

I was waiting, hesitating
Outside the hotel room 
She said: baby, I need loving 
I need some movement soon 
But later, when the time came 
So late on the line
Found out I've been drinking 
Too much wine

Dirty Tricks "Wait Till Saturday" 
(lyrics self-transcribed)
* From album: "Dirty Tricks"

Moon talk with that woman
She wanted to crawl along
Meanwhile I was playing
I wasn't playing at home

Been gone a year now
Showed me deplaned
Oh, so long since I've seen her
Can't wait till Saturday

Really gave her a bad time
Shouldn't have hurt her that way
What's that woman been thinking
What will that woman say

No way of knowing
How long she'll stay
Can't guess her answer
Can't wait till Saturday

Caught a plane around midnight
Was due here an hour ago
Starts move on the madness
I'm worried she ain't gonna show

Time moves so slowly
Hope fades away
Last thing she told me
Was: Wait till Saturday

I'm waiting, woman
To hear you at my door
I'm waiting, woman
To tell you something more
I'm waiting, woman
Gotta know the score
I'm waiting, woman
I won't fool you no more

Woman sweet woman
Why did I drive you away?
Please, please don't desert me 
I don't want to end it this way

Out in the dark night
She's lost the way
No more tomorrow
[No more Saturday] 2x
