Nah nah, honey I'm good
I could have another but I probably shouldn't
I've got somebody at home
It's been a long night here, and a long night there
And these long, long legs are damn near everywhere
Hold up now, you look good, I will not lie
But if you ask where I'm staying tonight I gotta be like
Oh baby, no baby, you got me all wrong baby
My baby's already got all my love
So nah nah, honey I'm good
I could have another but I probably shouldn't
I've got somebody at home, and if I stay I might not leave alone
No, honey I'm good, I could have another but I probably shouldn't
I've gotta bid you adieu and to another I will stay true
(Hoo hoo wooh true) I will stay true
(Hoo hoo wooh true) I will stay true
(Hoo hoo wooh true)
(Hoo hoo wooh)
Now better men than me have failed
Drinking from that unholy grail
Now check it out, I've got her and she got me
And you've got that ass, but I kindly gotta be like
Oh baby, no baby, you got me all wrong baby
My baby's already got all my love
So nah nah, honey I'm good
I could have another but I probably shouldn't
I've got somebody at home, and if I stay I might not leave alone
No, honey I'm good, I could have another but I probably shouldn't
I've gotta bid you adieu and to another I will stay true
(Hoo hoo wooh true) I will stay true
(Hoo hoo wooh true) I will stay true
(Hoo hoo wooh true)
(Hoo hoo wooh)
Oh, I'm sure you, sure you will make somebody's night
But oh, I'll show you, show you it sure as hell's not mine
Oh no, honey I'm good
I could have another but I probably shouldn't
I've got somebody at home, and if I stay I might not leave alone
No, honey I'm good, I could have another but I probably shouldn't
I've gotta bid you adieu and to another I will stay
Nah nah, honey I'm good
I could have another but I probably shouldn't
I've got somebody at home, and if I stay I might not leave alone
No, honey I'm good, I could have another but I probably shouldn't
I've gotta bid you adieu and to another I will stay true
(Hoo hoo wooh true) I will stay true
(Hoo hoo wooh true) I will stay true
(Hoo hoo wooh true) I will stay true
(Hoo hoo wooh) I will stay
Singing out oh oh oh oh oh (Hoo hoo wooh true)
Singing out oh oh oh oh oh (Hoo hoo wooh true)
Singing out oh oh oh oh oh (Hoo hoo wooh true)
Singing out oh oh oh oh oh (Hoo hoo wooh true)
I will stay true

Blog share snippet: "Hastags are the new Neon Signs; and if used correctly, it’s an easy and fun way to draw attention to your event and to share and find moments. You can use hastags at weddings, bar mitzvahs, family reunions, birthday bashes and corporate functions. Hashtags make it easy for guests who can’t attend an event to follow the fun."

Tito Puente, Jr. & His
Orchestra
The comparison is inevitable. How could it be otherwise?
Tito Puente Jr. carries his father with him – imprinted on his physical being
and locked in his soul. It’s in his looks, his joy, and his music. Tito, Jr. is
determined to nurture the musical legacy left by his father and reveres the
magnificent, lasting impact his father had on our musical lives. “People who
don’t know anything about Latin music know my father and people always, always
smile when they say my father’s name,” he confides. “That is a very special
gift I have been given.” Tito, Jr.’s latest album, “Got Mambo?” is a mixture of
the old and the new as he takes a musical departure into some powerful new
music he can truly call his own. Bridgemanagementinc.com
PANA!

Finding ‘Slight Suburbia’ in Stamford, Conn. Exerpt: "Passing over some of the older apartment houses in the area, she zeroed in on 75 Tresser, a five-story building that opened a little more than a year ago in a prime downtown location, the former site of the Stamford Advocate. There, she was able to find a two-bedroom two-bathroom apartment on the top floor for $3,010. And when she signed a 12-month lease last spring, she got two months free. (Two-bedrooms now rent for slightly more — around $3,100 a month — Ms. Tuttle said, something she attributed to the seasonal influx of recent college graduates, many of whom share two-bedrooms with roommates."
