I don’t know why you came along
At such a perfect time
But if I let you hang around
I’m bound to lose my mind
‘Cause your hands may be strong
But the feeling’s all wrong
Your heart is as black as night

Your Heart Is as Black as Night Singer and writer: Melody Gardot

Well, something’s in the air
Burning hot and sweet
There’s a man over there
Sittin’ in the street
I’m over here
With a rusted forty-four
Sittin’ on the steps
Of your back door
It’s one of those days

One of Those Days Singer and writer: Eilen Jewell

Cause he’s my big, bad, handsome man
He’s got me in the palm of his hand
He’s the Devil Divine, I’m so glad that he’s mine
‘Cause he’s my big, bad, handsome man

Big Bad Handsome Man Singer and writer: Ilemda May
