Tumble-Dry Low
by Holly Robbins
This wash of tears has left me in a tangle.
That heavy cycle has psyched me out.
I got soap in my eyes;
Got caught in some flies.
I broke a few ties.
Yeah, I've said some goodbyes.
But now the top's wide open
And I finally see the sunlight
Shining down in your loving eyes.
It's no surprise
When you lift me to your light
You know exactly what I need.
CHORUS
Just tumble-dry low.
Tumble me oh oh.
You soften all the fabric of my soul.
Your love's my permanent press;
You press me best.
You dry my tears so slow oh oh.
VERSE 2
You sort me out. You lift my heavy load.
You never hang me out to dry.
I feel the sweet humming sound
Of you around and 'round me;
Your whisper-quiet
lalalalalullaby.
And now my heart's wide open,
I can feel your warmth
In every fiber of my being.
It's no surprise
When I look into your eyes,
You know exactly what I mean.
CHORUS
Just tumble-dry low,
Tumble me oh oh.
You soften all the fabric of my soul.
Your love's my permanent press.
You press my dress.
You press me be-e-e-e-est.
BRIDGE
Oh, baby, when you roll me and hold me,
I'm downy soft and light as a feather.
You darken my darks. You brighten my brights. My brights will be so bright on you tonight . . .
CHORUS
Just tumble-dry low.
Tumble me oh oh.
You soften all the fabric of my soul.
Oh, baby, I'll take your heat
Between the sheets.
You know exactly what I mean.
END CHORUS
Tumble-dry low
Hold me, oh oh
Na na na na na na na na na na.
Your love's my permanent press.
You press me best.
You press my dre-e-e-e-ess.
Tumble-dry low. Tumble me oh oh.
Just tumble-jumble dry me down down down.
Oh la la la la la la, la la la la-a
Na na na na na na na na na na.
Hmm . . . mmm . . . mmm.

Ain't Nobody Can Hold on to Nobody
Whenever you're feeling down, ooh ooh ooh

Makin' yourself crazy
Listen to this song
And when you can, then sing along.
'Cause there ain't nobody can hold on to nobody.
CHORUS
Ooh ooh ooh, nobody nobody nobody
Can't hold on to no oh nobody.
Just listen to this song.
And when you can, then sing along,
'Cause there ain't nobody can hold on to nobody.
VERSE
What you once had now you've lost, ooh ooh ooh,
It's a sad thing, baby.
Thinking how you went wrong, ooh ooh ooh,
Is just making you crazy.
So just rock yourself and cry
Until you're done then say goodbye,
'Cause there ain't nobody can hold on to nobody.
CHORUS
Ooh ooh ooh, nobody nobody nobody
Can't hold on to no oh nobody.
Just rock yourself and cry
Until you're done then say goodbye.
'Cause there ain't nobody can hold on to nobody.

You remember how he smiled at you
And how the sun came shinin' on through.
But all that love, it really comes from
Inside you.
VERSE
So haul yourself outta bed, ooh ooh ooh,
Where's the Visine, baby?
Drag a comb through all that hair, ooh ooh ooh.
And come down from crazy.
He may come back, he may not,
But yourself is really all you got.
'Cause there ain't nobody can hold on to nobody.
CHORUS
Ooh ooh ooh, nobody nobody nobody
Can't hold on to no oh nobody.
He may come back, he may not,
But yourself is really all you got.
'Cause there ain't nobody can hold on to nobody.
VERSE
Put your bluejeans on, take a look outside
The sun's come up, let's go for a ride.
Pull the helmet on tight, take a look inside,
Babe you're lookin' real hot, let's go for a ride.
CHORUS
Ooh ooh ooh, nobody nobody nobody
Can't hold on to no oh nobody.
Take a chill pill sister, take a look inside,
Yeah you're lookin' so hot, let's go for a ride.
'Cause there ain't nobody can hold on to nobody.

Ouch
by Holly Robbins
September 25, 2014
I'm feeling blue. Ooh ooh.
I'm feeling blue without you.
I'm feeling blue. Ooh ooh.
I'm feeling blue without you.
Chorus
Give me a sign that you're still mine.
Ooh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh.
I loved my baby. Still love my baby.
I held my baby all through the night.
He was my ecstasy.
He got the best of me.
An' I was his lady. Oh, every night.
Chorus
Give me a sign that you're still mine.
Ooh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh.
I lost my baby. She took my baby.
Now he's her baby every night.
She's got my ecstasy.
She's got his best and she . . .
Now she's his lady every night.
Chorus
There's no sign he was ever mine.
No no no.
No, oh, oh.
