Leave All the Boys Alone (2011)
Kevin McWha Steele (ASCAP)
Adapted from original by Serge Gainsbourg, "Laisse Tomber Les Filles"
Leave all the boys alone
Leave all the boys alone
or one day it'll be you with a broken heart
Leave all the boys alone
Leave all the boys alone
or one day it'll be you who's torn apart
Yeah I cried all day feeling blue
But when payment's come to due
I won't cry over you
Yeah I cried all day feeling blue
But when payment's come to due
I hope it teaches you
Leave all the boys alone
Leave all the boys alone
Or one day it'll come back to haunt
Leave all the boys alone
Leave all the boys alone
I know just how you love to flaunt
Yeah I know you like it good and fast
Much too fast to ever last
I'm just a lover outcast
Yeah I know you like it good and fast
Much too fast to ever last
Goodbye, hello to your past
Bridge:
Lucky is the flower always in bloom
Tempting an innocent face
But when your luck is over alone in your room
No one's left there to embrace, embrace
Leave all the boys alone
Leave all the boys alone
or one day it'll be you with a broken heart
Leave all the boys alone
Leave all the boys alone
or one day it'll be you who's torn apart
Yeah I cried all day feeling blue
But when payment's come to due
I won't cry over you
Yeah I cried all day feeling blue
But when payment's come to due
I hope it teaches you

Mister Blue (2011)
Kevin McWha Steele (ASCAP)
When you wake up in the morning
Not sure exactly where you’ve been
You’re a time travelin’ wonder
Not sure how and not sure when
Chorus
Mister Blue x 2
Mister Blue x 2
Never wanted special wishes
Didn’t need a big device
It just happened on one morning
Several years flew by your eyes
Chorus
Mister Blue x 2
Mister Blue x 2
Bridge
But you will glide on the stars tonight
And hold a sweet, sweet love until the morning light
Another sweet, sweet love is gonna make it alright all day
Trip in time to your dreams all day
And fall, fall, fall in a lover’s kiss along the way
Slippin’ off your jumper suit
You got tired of the ride
Just want to see the same baby
Wanna have yourself a bride
Chorus
Mister Blue x 2
Mister Blue x 2
Finally found yourself a woman
Thought you’d found the perfect wife
But she left you up on cloud 9
To pursue a better life
Chorus
Mister Blue x 2
Mister Blue x 2
Bridge
Chorus
Mister Blue x 2
Mister Blue x 2

Sexy Liar (2011)
Kevin McWha Steele (ASCAP)
Hello, you, I think I’ve seen you before
Was it the village or outside my front door?
Let’s go for a drink, I think I know the right place
To see your face
That was you, just like a fly to the flame
You were so hip, you were so high on cocaine
You told me stories ‘bout your flash and your fame
In the big game
Chorus:
Sexy liar
You got a casual relationship with the truth
You say it’s because of your circumstances
Then, you double back and blame it on youth
Sexy liar
I just don’t know why you drop that shit
Is it to cause me unwanted pain,
Your easy target to hit
Sexy liar
Sexy liar
You sit there smokin’ on your Gauloises
Feel like I’m starin’ at the Wizard of Oz
Hiding behind a velvet curtain of shame,
You’re still the same
See I don’t care who you did
That other lover that you hid
I know what I’m here for, so, please don’t explain
It’s just too vain
Chorus:
Sexy liar
You got a casual relationship with the truth
You say it’s because of your circumstances
Then, you double back and blame it on youth
Sexy liar
I just don’t know why you drop that shit
Is it to cause me unwanted pain,
Your easy target to hit
Sexy liar
Sexy liar
Instrumental
You say it’s a sickness, you just had to confess
I say it’s a sickness, lovin’ you, I guess
Sexy liar
Sexy liar

Be With Me Tonight (2011)
Kevin McWha Steele (ASCAP)
I don’t know what took you so far away
What country kidnapped you from me today
I don’t understand why you run astray
I just wanna love you in my way
You sent me a photograph from Singapore
And when I saw your smile I wanted you more
But when you finally came to town
You were nowhere to be found
Chorus
So be here tonight
Be with me tonight
Just be here tonight
Stay with me the night
Be with me tonight
Next time I heard from you ‘twas Shangri-la
Somewhere between Katmandu and La-di-da
I don’t know if you’re comin’ or goin’
I can’t tell if you’re real or just showin’
Chorus
So be here tonight
Be with me tonight
Just be here tonight
Stay with me the night
Be with me tonight
Instrumental
I finally tracked you down on Rue Mouffetard
I know you think I went a bit too far
But what else am I supposed to do
At least in Paris, they’ve got a clue
(of just how much I love you)
Chorus
So be here tonight
Be with me tonight
Just be here tonight
Stay with me the night
Be with me tonight

Lumière Violette (2011)
Kevin McWha Steele (ASCAP)
On marchait à travers la pluie en plein été
Et à travers la brume et la brousse de mûre, on jouait
C’était un temps lorsque nos mots se tenaient une telle surprise
Et on s’aimait au dela nos crises
T’inquiète pas mon amour, je serai avec toi
Ton âme me touche, tes lèvres, tes bras
Chorus:
Je danserai autour tes ombres dans la lumière violette
Je danerai autour tes ombres dans la lumière violette
T’inquiète pas mon amour, je serai avec toi
Ton âme me touche, tes lèvres, tes bras
Chorus:
Je danserai autour tes ombres dans la lumière violette
Je danerai autour tes ombres dans la lumière violette

"Kevin is a
brilliantly versatile modern singer/songwriter who can rock furiously as well as deliver languid french chansons in a smooth as silk crooner's voice. There is always something arresting going on in his extremely well-crafted and catchy songs."
