(marie wilson, marsha malamet, liz vidal)
This ain't no warning
This ain't no countdown
This is the real thing
This is the right now
It's thought provoking
It might sound crazy
But I'm not joking
Hear what I'm saying
Ain't no excuses
Ain't no rehearsals
Don't be so stupid
Don't be so hurtful
Cause what you give out
You're sure to get back
It's gonna come round
Nothing will change that
This is your real life going by
Every day and every night
This is your real life
Don't be a loser
Don't be mistaken
There is a truth here
That you're not facing
Ain't no pretending
This is your one shot
And in the ending
It's all you got
This is your real life going by
Every day and every night
This is your real life
Look in the mirror, what do you see?
Is this how you pictured, yourself to be?
Isn't it time to open your eyes, open your eyes
This is your real life going by
Every day and every night
(marie wilson, mark hudson, jim vallance)
Another lonely night and I'm still feeling like
There's something deep inside I can't explain
We always look for love and keep on dreaming of
A feeling that's forever and a day, after day
Everybody's looking for a way, anyway
And I don't wanna hear
It's impossible
Don't say it doesn't matter
Impossible
It's hard sometimes to know just what to do
But it's true
Things are never what they seem
Cause nothing is impossible to me
And if your heart should break
It's more than I could take
I promise I won't throw it all away
And when the road gets rough and you feel you've had enough
We'll cherish every moment everyday, after day
Everbody's looking for a way, anyway
And I don't wanna hear
It's impossible
Don't say it doesn't matter
Impossible
It's hard sometimes to know just what to do
But it's true
Things are never what they seem
Cause nothing is impossible to me
Some people gonna try to own ya
They'll push and hope that you fall
And everybody thinks they know you
But they don't know you at all
We always look for love, and keep on dreaming of
A feeling that's forever, and forever, and forever
It's impossible
Don't say it doesn't matter
Impossible
It's hard sometimes to know just what to do
But it's true
Things are never what they seem
(dean manning)
Don't be confused by my apparent lack of ceremony
My mind is clear
I may be low or miles high off in the distance
I want you near
I love you, even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes
You're everywhere
And if they take me flying on the magic carpet
See me wave
If our communication fails I'll reconnect it
I want to rave
I love you, even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes
You're everywhere
No matter where the road is leading us remember
Don't be afraid
We have a continent that sometimes comes between us
That's okay
I love you, even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes
I heard you knocking on my front door
I know what you wanted to say
I found the letter you left lying there
I threw it away
What do you take me for, some kind of stupid fool
I never asked for much, I only wanted you
Now I just wanna say, baby
If this is goodbye, well, it's your turn to cry
Next time things will be different, baby
Next time everything is gonna change
Next time won't be so easy
I swear to God there will never be a next time
I'm not the person I was yesterday
When I wanted you near
There's a part of me that's gone away
Now I see it so clear
What do you want from me, do you take me for a fool?
Don't wanna live a lie, I only want the truth
And now it's my turn to say, baby
If that's the way you treat a friend, this is the end
Next time things will be different, baby
Next time everything is gonna change
Next time won't be so easy
I swear to God there will never be a next time
I finally figured it out what you're all about
And I think it's a crime
I was wasting my time, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What do you take me for, some kind of stupid fool
There ain't no in between, it's only win or lose
And now I just wanna say, baby
I'm gonna find somebody new and it ain't you
Next time things will be different, baby
Next time everything is gonna change
Next time won't be so easy
Next time everything, everything, yeah
Next time
Next time everything is gonna change
Next time won't be so easy
I spend my time these days just thinking of the past
I spend my time just wondering why it never lasted
I count the days 'til I can see you once again
If nothing else you're always my best friend
But I miss you now my friend
I long to kiss your smile again
Will you run, runaway with me
Leave your world behind?
Will you come, yeah, come and stay with me?
Just you and me until the end of time
Unlucky in love, well at least that's what they say
But it's gets so bad, sometimes I need to, need to runaway
I wanna ask you, will you run, yeah, runaway with me?
Runaway with me, baby
'Cos I'll look after you, oh baby
Baby, can't you see?
Will you run, runaway with me
Leave your world behind?
Will you come, yeah, come and stay with me?
Just you and me until the end of time, oh yeah
But I miss you now my friend
I long to kiss your smile again
Will you run, runaway with me
Leave your world behind?
Will you come, yeah
Come and stay with me
Until the end of time?
Will you run, runaway with me
Leave your world behind?
Will you come, yeah, come and stay with me?
Just you and me until the end of time, oh yeah
When I was a little child
I could be anything I wanted
Make believing
Was just by the way
One day be a hero
One day be a legend
One day be in New Orleans
And the next I'd be home again
I used to dream that I could fly over the moon
There was nothing that I couldn't do
And now as I sit
I hope that some day soon
I'll go over with you.
My friends used to tell me
There were things a girl shouldn't do
Oh but I just wanna try anyway
To me that was nothing new
I'd play all their ball games
The boys would say 'go on just let her'
Oh but anything that they could do
I'd wanna do better
I used to dream that I could fly over the moon
There was nothing that I couldn't do
Now as I sit I hope that some day soon
It's not the final destination
It's the journey on the way
And I can feel these times are changing
And nothing could stand in my way
I wanna be free
Free to find where I belong
Free to find my way
I know at times I act a little crazy
And I've made mistakes along the way
But I can see the silver lining
It's about to bring the change I have been waiting for
Hey, hey
I wanna be free
Free to find where I belong
Free to find my way
I wanna be free
I won't fight this feeling
It's leading me so far away
Believe in me, my baby
'Cause everything's gonna be okay
Well, I don't know where I'm going
And I don't know where I might be
But I can feel these times are changing
And that's alright by me
'Cause I'm free
Free to find where I belong
Free to find my way
I wanna be free
'Cause I'm free
Free to find where I belong
Free to find my way
I wanna be free
'Cause I'm free
Free to find where I belong
Free to find my way
I wanna be free
Sometimes it's so confusing
You win and then start losing
Just when you thought you'd seen it all
You picked your lucky number
So is it any wonder?
You've got your back against the wall
You'll get delirious if you take life too serious
You'd think by now that you would know
You can't stop the world from changing
But you could turn it around
'Cause you won't keep a good girl
Won't keep a good girl down
I look at life it's scary, so dull and ordinary
Sometimes it makes me wanna scream
They say that less is more
But you've been there before
And it ain't always what it seems
You can't stop the world from changing
But you could turn it around
'Cause you won't keep a good girl
Won't keep a good girl down
Everybody wants happiness
But sometimes it slips away
It's yours if you want it
You can take it back
But it's up to you to find another way
Why can't you let it go
You've got nothing left to show
For all the hell that you've been through
And now you've finally found the answer
You've got your feet back on the ground
You won't keep a good girl
Won't keep a good girl down
Oh yeah, you won't keep a good girl
Haunted by your vision
Haunted by your calls
Lately I've been wishing
I'd never meet you at all
Fire ragin' in my head
Without my lover
I take back all the things I said
About my lover
Taken by the innocence
In your eyes
Wounded by deceit
But now I'm shocked by your lies
Another sleepless night ahead
Without my lover
Lyin' in my lonely bed
Without my lover
Thinkin' 'bout my life
Without you by my side
I know I'll be alright
I tell you, I can survive, oh
Without my lover
Without my lover
Oh, without my lover
Haunted by your vision
You know, I'm haunted by your calls
Lately I've been wishin'
I'd never met you at all
Mornin' brings reality
You're not my lover
Oh, I'll leave behind your memory
I'll find another
Bittersweet reminders
Of a love gone wrong
Exist to give me courage
And the strength to carry on, oh
Without my lover
Without my lover
Oh, without my lover
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, without my lover
Don't lie to my face
Every other one I know, it's so hard to take
Don't dare think of me
Just another that'll be your worst mistake
Don't try to interest me
With preconceived ideas
Of what I should be
So I call on you to lay down your fears
And take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
I could never change
For you
Here I make my stand
Watch my innocence fall
You take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
Thanks for the honesty
But in the end
You're not a friend
You're not a friend to me
No, I won't go quietly
'Cause nothing's wrong
With bein' strong
I'm alive and free
If you only took the time to notice
Maybe I could change your point of view
And take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
I could never change
For you
Here I make my stand
Watch my innocence fall
You take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
Or don't take me at all
If you only took the time to notice
Maybe I could change your point of view
Take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
I could never change
For you
Here I make my stand
Watch my innocence fall
You take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
Take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
I could never change
For you
Here I make my stand
Watch my innocence fall
You take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
Take me as I am
As morning touches another day
I lay here thinkin', are you lonely?
Well, I asked you would you stay?
Come on stay
I don't mean to be so desperate
I don't wanna bother you
If you find it in your heart to change your mind
Come around, come around
And rescue me
Can't you see, I'm fallin'?
'Cause you turned away
Before I could say that I'm always fallin' over you
I can't seem to find the time
To figure out just what you're feelin'
Would it change things if I cried
Or would you run and hide?
I will never tire of waiting
I won't give up on you
And if you feel like you want a change of heart?
Just come around, come around
And rescue me
Can't you see, I'm fallin'?
'Cause you turned away
Before I could say that I'm always fallin' over you
Fallin' over you
Fallin', fallin'
Rescue me
Oh, can't you see, I'm fallin', I'm fallin'?
'Cause you turned away
Everyone wants to be like her
Everyone thinks she's got everything
The whole world stares
But no one cares about her
She's just like you
She's just like the girl next door
She's just like an ordinary girl
The paper's talk about her lovers
And just as soon as word comes
That she's found another
They claim an outrage
Right across the front page
She's just like you
She's just like the girl next door
She's just like an ordinary girl
Well, I know she knows
It's just a matter of time
And I feel, she feels
She's running out of time
I bet she longs to be
Just like you and me, ohh
She's just an ordinary girl
She's just an ordinary girl
Oh, she's just like you
She's just like the girl next door
She's just like an ordinary girl
Ohh, she's no different
She's no different, although it seems
She's just like an ordinary girl
(marie wilson)
Looking back it was so long ago
Seems like only yesterday
You packed your bags and said you had to go
Somehow you'd lost your way
I let you go not knowing what to do
Or knowing what went wrong
And I prayed you'd not be long
You left me standing there
Knowing I'd be there waiting
But now I've changed my mind
I'm just doing fine baby
On my own
You never thought I'd make it
On my own
Oh you never thought I'd take it
On my own
Well I'm still surviving, living
On my own
You called me on the phone to talk to me
Just to see that I'm ok
But I can't help to think of love that we
Shared only yesterday
You just keep going on
You keep me hanging on and waiting
But now I've changed my mind
Cause I'm just doing fine baby
On my own
You never thought I'd make it
On my own
Oh you never thought I'd take it
On my own
Well I'm still surviving, living
On my own
Yeah-eah
Listen to me baby
Oh no you drive me crazy
Come closer now
And let me show you how
I'm living life for me
Without your misery
And I won't change my mind
Cause I'm still doin' fine
On my own
You never thought I'd make it
On my own
Oh you never thought I'd take it
On my own
Well I'm still surviving, living
On my own
You never thought I'd make it
Oh no you never thought I'd take it oh I'm still surviving.....
(joan armatrading)
I sit here by myself and you know I love it
You know I don't want someone to come pay a visit
I wanna be by myself
I came in this world alone
Me myself i, me myself and i, just me myself i
I want to go to china and to see japan
I'd like to sail the oceans before the seas run dry
I wanna go by myself
I've just room enough for one
Me myself i, me myself and i, just me myself i
I wanna be a big shot and have ninety cars
I wanna have a boyfriend and a girl for laughs
But only on saturday
Six days to be alone
Just me myself i, me myself and i, just me myself i
Don't wanna be the bad guy
Don't wanna make a soul cry
It's not that I love myself
I just don't want company
Except me myself i, me myself and i, just me myself i
I am the invisible girl
A vanishing act in the big bad old world
I disappeared in the crowd
But now something inside has just gotta come out
Gonna set it free, be the real me, gonna let it go
Don't wanna be scared
Don't wanna be weak
Don't wanna be the last to speak, no
I'm gonna be brave
I'm gonna be strong
I'm ready to take it all on
Making it up as I go along
Making it up as I go along
I was nowhere to be found
Locked up so tight never making a sound
The answer stuck in my head
A thousand words always thought never said
Gonna make it clear, this is me here, gonna let it go
Don't wanna be scared
Don't wanna be weak
Don't wanna be the last to speak, no
I'm gonna be brave
I'm gonna be strong
I'm ready to take it all on
Making it up as I go along
Making it up as I go along
Making it up as I go along
Don't wanna be scared
Don't wanna be weak
Don't wanna be the last to speak, no
I'm gonna be brave
I'm gonna be strong
I'm ready to take it all on
Making it up as I go along
Making it up as I go along
Don't wanna be scared
Don't wanna be weak
Don't wanna be the last to speak, no
I'm gonna be brave
I'm gonna be strong
I'm ready to take it all on
Making it up as I go along
You won't admit you love me
And so how am I ever to know?
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
A million times I ask you,
And then I ask you over again
You only answered
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted
So if you really love me
Say yes,
but if you don't dear, confess
and please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted
So if you really love me
Say yes, but if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Let's go
Said he was giving me a taffeta dress
That's just what I've always wanted
And then he said he'd give me more or less
Of just what I've always wanted
But you don't give me anything and I don't ask you
Just yourself is good enough
That's just what I've always wanted
Just what I've always wanted
Hoh-oh, just what I've always - wanted
He said he'd make of me a millionaire
That's what I've always longed for
Not one Picasso, he'll give me a pair
Just what I've always dreamed of
But you don't give me anything and I don't ask you
Just yourself is every thing
That's just what I've always wanted
Just what I've always wanted
Hoh-oh, just what I've always - wanted
I've got a mink from Paris, a ring from Rome
A whole new wardrobe in my home
A tune from Tenney, an Ashworth snap
These are the landmarks on my map
I've got just what I always wanted
She's got just what she's always wanted
But you don't give me anything and I don't ask you
Just yourself is every thing
That's just what I've always wanted
Just what I've always wanted
Hoh-oh, just what I've always - wanted
Hoh-oh, just what I've always wanted
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
You won't admit you love me.
And so how am I ever to know? You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. A million times I ask you, And then I ask you over again.
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. If you can't make your mind up, We'll never get started.
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted.
So if you really love me, Say yes.
But if you don't, dear, confess.
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. If you can't make your mind up, We'll never get started.
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted.
So if you really love me, Say yes.
But if you don't, dear, confess.
And please don't tell me
You said come round
But you only called because shes away for a while
I said,
No way
That dont float my boat
'Cos second hand loves not my style
Sooner or later
You gotta make your mind up
So don't be a chooza looza
CHORUS
I'm not waitin in line
I'm here if you want me
So dont be a looza
Your just wastin my time.
I'll be your girlfriend
So don't be a looza
Wake up,
Break up,
With that stupid girl who makes out you less than you
are,
She walks,
She talks what a miracle,
Gut i'll let you play my guitar,
(guitar)
Sooner or later you gotta make your mind up
So don't be a chooza looza
*Chorus*
I'm not playin around
I'm not puttin you down
But your gonna miss me this way
You'll be sorry you should worry bout the future
You'll be choosing curtains in ikea
It doesn't matter if you told me a lie
It doesn't matter just keep changing your alibi
It doesn't matter I don't care, as long as you leave me
I keep on walking down the same old street
I keep on seeing you with her where we used to meet
It doesn't matter anymore. as long as you leave me
As long as it's
Goodbye to Mr alibi
I'm tired of thinking that it's not only you and I
Goodbye, this is a lullaby
A simple song I dedicate to a love that died
You're always telling me I'm wrong when I'm right
You're always saying that it's my turn tomorrow night
Well you can promise me the world as long as you leave
As long as it's
Goodbye to Mr Alibi
I'm tired of thinking that it's not only you and I
Goodbye, this is a lullaby
A simple song I dedicate to a love that died
Say Goodbye, Say Goodbye to Mr Alibi
Say Goodbye, Say Goodbye to Mr Alibi
Goodbye to Mr Alibi
I'm tired of thinking that it's not only you and I
Goodbye, this is a lullaby
A simple song I dedicate to a love that died
When did chivalry
Become such a crime
When we're going out
Try showing up on time
When you pick me up
Don't just wait outside
If you want me
To want you
Here's exactly what i'm gonna need from you
I want that old school lovin'
Like when a kiss meant something
When a man, opened doors
And would give up his coat when I'm cold
Bring back that old school lovin'
When those three words meant something
When a man knew how to romance
Ooh I want it that way just like back in the day
Just remember
What Aretha said
You've got to show me
Oh show me some respect (Respect)
Five minute love just don't mean a thing
So if you want me
To want you
Here's exactly what i'm gonna need from you
I want that old school lovin'
Like when a kiss meant something
When a man, opened doors
And would give up his coat when I'm cold
Bring back that old school lovin'
When those three words meant something
When a man knew how to romance
Ooh I want it that way just like back in the day
Flowers and candy
And diamonds are nice
But I want the things
That money can't buy
Like quality time
Treating me right
Knowing what's on my mind
I want that old school lovin'
Like when a kiss meant something
When a man, opened doors
And would give up his coat when I'm cold
Bring back that old school lovin'
When those three words meant something
When a man knew how to romance
Ooh I want it that way just like back in the day
I want that old school lovin'
Like when a kiss meant something
When a man, opened doors
And would give up his coat when I'm cold
Bring back that old school lovin'
When those three words meant something
When a man knew how to romance
You see them on the corner in the morning
Barely seem to be awake
Praying that they won't be late
You know they're in the office when you're calling
Head inside a magazine
Wishing they could live their dream
Sleepwalking through your destiny
Dream talking of how it used to be
The future's just a memory
But it's all you got
Can't stop the clock
The wall revolves and you can't get out
One by one the dreams are gone
Today you're the lonely one
Free from all you've wished yourself
Thought you'd left you on the shelf.
How could this be history?
When the future seemed to be
Brighter than the stars above
Full of hope and full of love.
Walking through the door with the TV on
Children running round your feet
Fast forward to you're asleep
And every days the same and you don't know why
You promise that you'll never be
Everything that you now see
Sleepwalking walking through your destiny
Dream talking of how it used to be
But it's all you got
Can't stop the clock
The wall revolves and you can't get out
One by one the dreams are gone
Today you're the lonely one
Free from all you've wished yourself
Thought you'd left you on the shelf.
How could this be history?
When the future seemed to be
Brighter than the stars above
Full of hope and full of love.
So follow your dreams
No matter how extreme
Really live your life (yeh)
Cos your life is in your hands
Don't take no other plans
You can do it if you just believe you can.
Truth is beauty,
never tells the you host it.
Still waters run deep.
When you look at yourself,
you don't like what you see.
Down on your own with fashion.
Wrapped up in imperfection.
When then there's only one side to see.
If you look a little closer,
then maybe you'll discover.
Your more than a pretty face,
not filled with empty space.
Your beautiful inside.
See you the way i do,
adjust just your attitude.
Cos we fall and we break,
and we make mistakes.
But your more to me,
than what you see.
Not just a pretty face.
Always wishing,
you could be more like
the pictures you see
but that's just fiction,
illusions in a magazine.
Stop acting so defeated,
You need to start believing,
You're so much more than you think you can be.
Keep searching and you'll find out,
exactly what your about.
oh, yeah.
Your more than a pretty face,
not filled with empty space.
Your beautiful inside.
See you the way i do,
adjust just your attitude.
Cos we fall and we break,
and we make mistakes.
But your more to me,
than what you see.
Not just a pretty face.
Live Crazy, be free,
let everyone see,
your beautiful when you want to be.
Remember the flaws,
and the imperfect parts,
makes us who we are.
You're beautiful inside.
Oh, Yeah
Your more than a pretty face,
not filled with empty space.
Your beautiful inside.
See you the way i do,
adjust just your attitude.
Cos we fall and we break,
and we make mistakes.
But your more to me,
than what you see.
Not just a pretty face.
Ooooa ooohh,
Beautiful inside.
Oh yeah, So beautiful, so beautiful.
Into each life a little rain must fall
You can let it spoil your plans and not live life at all
But he hurt you and I know you don't want to hear me preaching
When you face your deepest fears
Some rise when they fall
Making fools of us all
Seeing good in everything
You can throw love away
But you can't love in vain
Something grows from every teardrop
So give all you got
To wounded hearts and judgement clouded eyed
The sun don't seem to want to break through dirty skies
But you're hanging there even if it's by a thread
And it ain't broke it's the best chance you're gonna get
Some rise when they fall
Making fools of us all
Seeing good in everything
You can throw love away
But you can't love in vain
Something grows from every teardrop
So don't give up don't run away
Don't be scared it's only change
You're near the bottom almost here
Through the pain and through the tears
Learn to face the throws of love
Choose one who be worthy of
All you are, heart and soul
Take him with you where you go
Counting your own blessings
Learning your own lessons
Go where the light begins
It begins
Some rise when they fall
Making fools of us all
Seeing good in everything
You can throw love away
But you can't love in vain
Something grows from every teardrop
So give all you got, give all you got, give all you got
See the good in everything
Give all you got, give all you got, give all you got
Some rise when they fall
Making fools of us all
Seeing good in everything
You can throw love away
But you can't love in vain
Something grows from every teardrop
But oh I am not afraid
To be a lone bohemian
I can paint a portrait of myself
I will call me a black Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa
Come to discover - I am your daughter
The sky above me is silent and empty
I am an island
A little freak of melancholy
But these hands
They unbead your rosary of wisdom
Bewitched, spellbound I'm found
And returned from superstition
You are my martyr
I'm a vestige of a revolution
My alma, my mater
And now I can let go
My old addictive solutions
CHORUS
I used to be a connoisseur
Of hate, self hate, paternal hate
Hate cum gratis
I connected every kind
Sipping it like red wine
The insecurity was mine
The ties that bind were
My design
But oh I am not afraid
To be a lone bohemian
The sun is still unkind
To those like you and me
Seekers of sanctuary
Though I'm not afraid
I'm sanctified and fortified
Because you sacrified
I can call myself Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa,
