[MUSIC - GABE STILLMAN, "GIMME SOME TIME"] (SINGING) Gimme some time, baby, time alone with you.

Whoa.

Gimme some time, baby, time alone with you.

If I ever had a chance, darling, I can show you what I can do.

Well, I'm wild about you, baby, but I'm afraid to call your name.

Well, I've been wild about you all my, baby, but I'm afraid to call your name.

But I'm in love with you, baby, but you love another man.

Oh, who's this other man now?

Oh, what's the matter, baby?

Am I not good enough for you?

Yeah, what's the matter, baby?

Ain't I good enough for you?

Come on and tell me the truth now, darling.

Is it because I play the blues?

But you know I just got to play the blues.

Hold on.

Well, I said it all now, baby.

And I can tell that you don't care.

Yes, I said it all now, baby.

And I can tell you still don't care.

Hey, that's what bothers me.

No, no.

Out on the summer, they're out there for me somewhere.

Yes, I do.

So I'm stepping back, baby.

I got to get you off of my mind.

Yes, I'm stepping back, baby.

I got to get you off of my mind.

You know someone down the road in the dark.

Well, I wish you'd given me some time.

[MUSIC - GABE STILLMAN, "JUST SAY THE WORD"] (SINGING) Just say the word.

I can give me more love than you ever had before.

Just say the word, babe.

Well, I know that you might not be sure before, but I know deep down in my core.

I could make you so happy, baby.

Just say the word.

If you want to feel like a real woman-- oh, not the thing other men want to call you.

You can hit me up any time now.

I got a feeling from the moment I first saw you.

Any bad relationship that you had to go through, you know I'll never make you feel so sad.

So if you want some loving, just say the word.

Just say the word.

I can give him more love than you ever had before.

Just say the word, baby.

I'll be running on over to your door.

Well, I know that you might not be sure before, but I know deep down in my core.

I could make you so happy now.

Just say the word.

You and me, we've got history, but lets leave that all behind.

I'll take you anywhere you wanna go with me.

Darling, I can't stop putting you on my mind.

Oh.

Just say the word.

I can give you more love than you ever had before.

Just say the word, babe.

I'll be running on over to your door.

[MUSIC - GABE STILLMAN, "AIN'T GONNA CHANGE"] (SINGING) I ain't gonna change.

I ain't gonna change what I'm all about.

I ain't gonna change.

I ain't gonna change what I'm all about.

Well, if you can't love me for who I am, you can get on out cause I ain't gonna change.

Oh, I went out last night.

Oh, I got tireder that I should.

Oh, I went out last night to Penn State, oh.

I got tireder than I should.

I came home to you, baby, but you said, boy, you're gone for good, but I ain't gonna change.

Oh, I ain't gonna to change.

No, no.

That's my friend Rashawn Odell.

This is my friend DP.

DP, Daniel Powell on drums.

Ah.

Hey, fellas.

Now I want to talk to you all people out there in TV land for a second.

This song is not a new song for me.

I have recorded this song many, many times, but I still like to sing it.

And the reason why is I wrote this song when I was 19 years old.

And the title of this song is called I Ain't Gonna Change.

Well, I just had a birthday recently and I turned 28 years old.

And anybody out there with some life experience knows that from 19 to 28, it's a little bit unreasonable to have that philosophy about life that you're not gonna change.

But it was fun to be 19 and young and naive.

You know what they say?

Ignorance is bliss.

But since then I've gone through one, or two, or three, or four, five, six, seven, maybe more changes.

But I like to sing it because it is a good time to go back to the past and revisit how I felt at the time no matter how wrong I was.

So this is how I felt at the time.

(SINGING) I said go ahead and leave me, baby.

We'll see if I give a damn.

Oh, boy, was I wrong about that one.

Go ahead and leave me, baby.

We'll see if I give a damn.

That's right on, baby.

oh, get on, baby, into the arms of another man cause I ain't gonna change.

You're gonna have to find somebody else who gonna change for you.

1, 2.

A 1, 2, 3.

[MUSIC - GABE STILLMAN, "NO MATTER WHAT YOU WEAR"] (SINGING) You don't have to go out of your mind to please me.

Don't got to pull on my shoulder.

No, you don't got to tease me.

I'm going to love you no matter what you wear.

Ooh, I'm going to love you, babe, no matter what you wear.

You can ask me what I think, but I'm going to speak my mind.

Girl, you knock me out every single time.

I'm going to love you no matter what you wear.

Whoa.

You drive me wild, baby, no matter what you wear.

Oh, let me tell y'all about this women now.

You got to know you're so naturally beautiful.

And that's why I can't stop staring at you, baby.

Yeah, it ain't about what you're wearing.

No.

I don't believe anybody who tells you to the play it cool.

Baby, you're prize just by being you.

Go ahead now, little mama.

Let it all lose.

Keep on breaking all of those rules.

Yeah, I'm going to love you no matter what you wear.

Oh, you drive me wild, baby, no matter what you wear.

Oh, baby.

Yeah, baby.

Oh, baby.

Well, cause you know it's not about what you're wearing, baby.

Hey, you don't gotta do nothing fancy with your hair, darling.

I think maybe it's just the way you're dancing.

Oh, DP and Odell, I think it might just be the way this girl is dancing for us right now.
