"A Simple Story" © 2008
Written & Performed by
Diana Hobstetter aka Mrs. Hobbs
My story is simple,
I met you, you kissed me
My story is simple,
You said that you loved me
My story is simple,
I gave my heart to you
My story is simple,
You broke my heart in two
You were my knight in shining armor,
Mmy hero
You were my true love or
So I thought until it ended
My story is simple,
I caught you kissing her
My story is simple,
You told me you loved her
My story is simple,
I loved you, you left me
My story is simple,
You hurt me, I suffered
You were my knight in shining armor,
My hero
You were my true love or
So I thought until it ended
A simple Story that Has happened Many times
Maybe it Happened to You
It may be A simple Story but It doesn't
Mean that it Doesn't hurt Too
My story is simple,
I've now met another
My story is simple,
I've found my true lover
My story is simple,
He says that he loves me
My story is simple,
I want to believe him
You were my knight in shining armor, m
My hero
You were my true love or
So I thought until it ended

"With You" © 2008
Written & Performed by
Diana Hobstetter aka Mrs. Hobbs
Love is like running water
With you let it flow
Love is like being in space
With you I will go
You're there when I need you
You'll always be true
There's no one compares to you
You kiss and you hold me
You comfort me too
My life's so much better
With you, with you
Love is like bees to honey
With you it is sweet
Love is better than all the money
With you I'm complete
You're there when I need you
You'll always be true
There's no one compares to you
You kiss and you hold me
You comfort me too
My life's so much better
With you, with you
Aah
You're there when I need you
You'll always be true
There's no one compares to you
You kiss and you hold me
You comfort me too
My life's so much better
With you, with you

"Love At First Sight" © 2007
Written & Performed by
Diana Hobstetter aka Mrs. Hobbs
Inspired by Edvard Grieg's
"In The Hall of the Mountain King"
There we were
I saw you there
You saw me there
Yes, we were there
There we were
Upon the stairs
Just staring at each other
When we met
All time stood still
And still we were
Standing still
When we met
We lost the will
To part from one another
REFRAIN:
Love at first sight
Knowing it's right
Love every day
Love every night
Finding our love
Starting our love
Starting our life
Together
I found you
And you found me
We found ourselves
In the mystery
Of knowing love
That is so deep
Of finding one another
REFRAIN |

"You Didn't Have To" © 2005
Written & Performed by
Diana Hobstetter aka Mrs. Hobbs
You didn't have to,
You didn't have to,
You didn't, you didn't have to
Treat me so good, and use me so bad
Make me so happy and make me so sad
Do all those flowers and chocolate things
Or take me out for dinner
or give me diamond rings
'Cuz I'm not that kind of girl,
I'm not that kind of girl
'Cuz I'm an easy girl, a fast girl,
a good one night stand
I'm street-smart and I'm savvy,
I lust like a man
I don't need all those trappings
'cuz I like to be free
I'm not that kind of girl,
Why didn't you see
You didn't have to,
You didn't have to,
You didn't, you didn't have to
Woo me, my friends, and my family too
Make us all think that you and I were two
Hearts coming together to make a single one
That loved and laughed and had some fun
'Cuz I'm not that kind of girl,
I'm not that kind of girl
'Cuz I'm an easy girl, a fast girl,
a good one night stand
I'm street-smart and I'm savvy,
I lust like a man
I don't need all those trappings
'cuz I like to be free
I'm not that kind of girl,
Why didn't you see
You didn't have to,
You didn't have to,
You didn't have to...
Lie

"Let's Not Dwell On It"© 2006
Written & Performed by
Diana Hobstetter aka Mrs. Hobbs
Mama, I saw Daddy up with Jesus
Mama, I saw Daddy in the clouds so high
Mama, I saw Daddy up there with Jesus
Till the clouds they went rolling by
Let's not dwell on it
Let's not dwell on it
Let's not dwell on it
She said
He's dead
I just can't help these feelings
Of emptiness inside
I just can't help these feelings
Wonderin' what life would be with him alive
I just always felt he must be watching
As I go round on the carousel of my life
I just always feel he must be watching
Till the day when I too must die
Let's not dwell on it
Let's not dwell on it
Let's not dwell on it
She said
He's dead

"I Look Down" © 2007
Written & Performed by
Diana Hobstetter aka Mrs. Hobbs
I look down
I look down
At my feet on the ground
I look down
I look down
I look down
And I try to stand up
And not to fall
Not to fall
Fall down
I look down
Never knowing where I'm going
Never knowing where I have been
Always looking inward
Always hearing the internal din
Of the sound
Of my feet on the...
Never knowing where I'm going
Never knowing where I have been
Always looking inward
Always hearing the internal din
Of the sound
Of my feet on the
Ground
I look down
I look down
At my feet on the ground
I look down
I look down
I look down
And I try to stand up
And not to fall
Not to fall
Fall down
I look down
Look up!

"Each Day" © 2007
Written & Performed by
Diana Hobstetter aka Mrs. Hobbs
Each day
Each day is its own thing
Its song that it's got to sing
Each day
Each day is a journey
A voyage from Autumn to Spring
Each day is a new day
Though they sometimes seem the same
But when you look again
You're born and reborn and reborn
Each day
Each day
Each day wakes you up
And then puts you to bed
Each day
Some days make you struggle
Some days are your friends
Each day is a new day
Though they sometimes seem the same
But when you look again
You're born and reborn and reborn
Each day
Each day
Each day

"Squeezebox"
Performed by Diana Hobstetter aka Mrs. Hobbs
Original by The Who
Mama's got a squeezebox
She wears on her chest
And when Daddy gets home
He never gets no rest
'Cuz she's playing all night,
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeezebox,
Daddy never sleeps at night
Well, the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street
'Cuz she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeezebox,
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out
and in and out and in and out
'Cuz she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeezebox,
Daddy never sleeps at night
She goes "Squeeze me,
C'mon and squeeze me,
C'mon and tease me like you do
I'm so in love with you"
Mama's got a squeezebox,
Daddy never sleeps at night |

"Manic Depression"
Performed by Diana Hobstetter aka Mrs. Hobbs
Original by Jimi Hendrix
(slightly modified from original version)
Manic depression is touching my soul
I know what I want, but I just don't know
How to go about gettin' it
Feeling, sweet feeling
Drops from my finger tips
Manic Depression is catching my soul
I'm a woman so weary
I'm the sweet cause in vain
I make love, I break love
It is all the same
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress with a kiss
Manic Depression is a frustrating mess
Well, I guess I'll go turn myself off
and go on down
All the way down, now
Really ain't no use in me hanging around
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress with a kiss (in a kiss)
Manic Depression is a frustrating mess

"Friend of the Devil"
Performed by Diana Hobstetter aka Mrs. Hobbs
Original by The Grateful Dead
(slightly modified from original version)
I lit out from Reno
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep that night
Til the morning came around
Refrain:
Set out runnin'
But I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
Ran into the devil
He loaned me twenty bills
Spent the night in Utah
In a cave up in the hills
Refrain
Ran down to the levee
But the devil caught me there
He took that twenty dollar bill
And vanished in the air!
Refrain
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
The first one's named sweet Jeremy
And he's my heart's delight
The second one is prison, babe
The sheriff's on my trail
And if he catches up with me
I'll spend my life in jail!
Got a man in Chino, babe
And one in Cherokee
But if you know a thing 'bout me
I just got to be free
Refrain

"My Funny Valentine"
Performed by Diana Hobstetter aka Mrs. Hobbs
Music by Richard Rogers
Lyrics by Lorenz Hart
My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little week?
When you open it to speak,
Are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay
Each day is Valentine's Day |

"Autumn Leaves"
Performed by Diana Hobstetter aka Mrs. Hobbs
Music by Joseph Kosma
English lyrics by Johnny Mercer
French lyrics by Jacques Prevert
The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sun-burnt hands
I used to hold
Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song
But I miss you most of all
My darling
When those autumn leaves
Start to fall
C'est une chanson
Qui nous resemble
Toi, tu m'aimais
Et moi, je t'aimais
Nous vivions
Tous les deux ensemble
Toi, que m'aimais
Moi, qui t'aimais
Mais la vie separe
Ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement
Sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface
Sur la sable
Les pas des amants
Desunis
Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song
But I miss you most of all
My darling
When those autumn leaves
Start to fall |
