Time, time, time
See what's become of me...
Time, time, time
See what's become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a Hazy Shade of Winter
Hear the Salvation Army Band
Down by the riverside
It's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry a cup in your hand
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a Hazy Shade of Winter
Hang onto your hopes my friend
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend
That you can build them again
Look around
Grass is high
Fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life
Seasons change with their scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a Hazy Shade of Winter
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
If you need me I'll be here
On my knees
On my knees
In the neighbor's garden
Where the light is growing long
Stealing rosemary for you, my love
It's the tiny lies I tell
For you to please
You to please
Early in the morning
When the light is growing strong
Stealing rosemary for you, my love
I'm stealing rosemary
Flowers crushing on my skin
(On my skin)
Tuscan blue, all for you
(All for you)
Caught in rain and running
Home to you I'm coming, home
Stealing rosemary for you, my love
I'm stealing rosemary for you, my love
Don't botter cryin' don't botter crawlin'
It's all over now no use in stallin'
The love I once felt I don't feel anymore for you
This time I'll even open the door for you
You walked out when I was down
Well now I'm well off
And look who's comin' around
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I wanted you?
Where were you when I needed you?
Where?
You're looking good it's hard to fight it
There's no use explainin' I've already decided
That livin' without you is worse than without ya
I won't spend a lifetime worryin' about you
Things got rough and you disappeared
Now I'm back on my feet
And look who's standing there
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I wanted you?
Where were you when I needed you?
Where?
You were so young and you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
The first day I saw you you really got me
I thought I could change you what good did it do me?
Things got rough and he couldn't wait
Now you're trippin' back
But babe, it's too late
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I wanted you?
Where were you when I needed you?
Where?
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I wanted you?
Where were you when I needed you?
I pick the day, I pick the place
I pick the flowers for the table
Have the phrases memorized so carefully
You walk in smiling and
Suddenly my mind?s unable
To focus on these things so dear to me
What I meant to say is that I?m in love
I never felt like this before
I could tell that you never had a clue
Searching for the things that I meant to say
There are many pleasant things
I can keep my mind distracted
We can laugh and talk till evening, hours away
Here it is on the tip of my tongue
I?m so hopelessly attracted
But if I try to tell you the words will stray
What I meant to say is that I?m in love
I never felt like this before
I could tell that you never had a clue
Searching for the things that I meant to say
I found more love than I can tell you of
It?s a simple honest thing
Just to close my eyes and tell you
There?ll be one less person in your arms tonight
What I meant to say is that I?m in love
I never felt like this before
He?s so good to me and I know that we
Had to be together, my baby
What I meant to say is that I?m in love
I never felt like this before
I can tell that you never had a clue
(V. Peterson)
I want you
I don't want to sleep, go on and speak
Wearing out the carpet with my feet
And I want you
I want you
You don't know how bad you've got me hooked
I hate myself 'cause you don't like my looks
I want you
I want you
Oh ah, oh ah
I want you
Everything's still playing in my head
I'm twisting and I'm crying in my bed
I want you
Yeah, I want you
It's not fair
I should be there too
With you
Here I am still trying to erase
Everything, your voice, your smile, your face
I want you
Yeah, I want you
Oh ah, oh ah
I want you
'Cause I want you
Ooh, oh, I've had sleepless nights
Toss and turn, wake up burning for what you inspire
So I'm gonna walk right down your street
With love that I can't hide
I've got one thing on my mind, yeah
I'll even sacrifice my pride
'Cause I want you
Ooh, oh, how I wish you would be mine
My pulse is weak, blushing brighter than a valentine
'Cause I can walk right down your street
With love that I can't hide
I've got one thing on my mind, yeah
I'll even sacrifice my pride
'Cause I can't stop the way I feel
So I keep walking on 'cause I want you
Walking down, down your street
Walking down your street
Walking down your street
Down your street
I can't stop the way I feel
So I keep walking down, oh, oh, oh
Walking right down your street
With love that I can't hide
Oh, I got one thing on my mind, yeah
I'll even sacrifice my pride
Walking right down your street
With love that I can't hide, yeah
I got one thing on my mind, yeah
I'll even sacrifice my pride
Walking right down your street
With love that I can't hide, oh
I got one thing on my mind, yeah
All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know
If they move too quick
(Oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino
All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles
(Oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
(Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
The blond waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves
(Oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more
All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings
(Oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian
All the kids in the market place say
(Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life's hard you know
(Oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance
(Oh whey oh)
They spin the clubs cruise down the block
All the Japanese with their Yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know
(Oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian
All the cops in the donut shop say
(Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
(S. HoffsV. Peterson)
Got to tell you
It seems so very hard to say
And you know that the words are there, my love
When I first saw you
Didn't notice it that day
Now you're the one I'm thinking of
Oh, you never bring me down
Inside it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If I was insecure
That was yesterday and now I'm sure
Oh so sure (oh so sure)
When I was a little girl
I wanted everything ideal
Yeah, and a love I could depend on
This is the real world
And I believe our love is real
And it's the only thing I'm counting on
Oh, you never bring me down
Inside it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If I was insecure
That was yesterday and now I'm sure
Oh so sure
Oh, you never bring me down
Inside it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If I was insecure
That was yesterday and now I'm sure
Oh so sure
This is the real world
I really want to be a girl
This is the real world (real world)
I really want to be a girl
This is the real world (real world)
I don't think about us much anymore
Frankly, the topic has become a bore
And you don't come up much in my conversations
And I don't think about you on vacation
But when it rains
When it rains
When it rains
That's when I remember
That's when I remember
When I remember you
I remember you
I don't think about us when I'm sleepin'
It doesn't even cross my dreamlike mind
I don't think I see your face through the curtains
Hell, I don't even miss you half the time
Oh, but when it rains
When it rains
When it rains
That's when I remember
That's when I remember
When I remember you
I remember you
Rain, rain go away I'm doing fine
As long as you stay
Locked up inside a cloud of gray
Rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain
When it rains
When it rains
When it rains
That's when I remember
That's when I remember
When I remember you
I remember you
Oh, that's when I remember
The only time I remember
Yaa, I remember you
Threw away the things you loved
Now you want me to forgive you
Surprise surprise, I'm runnin' on
Yeah, I'm movin' on.
What a shock it is to see
I can walk away so easily
Isn't it funny how hard it's turned out
This time I'm movin' on.
Tell me...tell me
While I still have the time
Are ya gonna find a love
Thats truer than mine.
One, two, three abandon me
Ain't no turning back again
Well too bad, baby, this time you lose
'Cause I'm movin' on.
Tell me...tell me
While I still have the time
Are ya gonna find a love
That's truer than mine.
One, two, three abandon me
Ain't no turning back again
Well too bad, baby, this time you lose
'Cause I'm movin' on.
Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears?
Who knows or cares what an imitation is?
(Only you do)
You can paint his nails
Make him wear high heels
Why waste time altering the hemline
(Only you do)
Tear Off Your Own Head
Tear Off Your Own Head
It's a doll revolution
You can bat your lashes
You can cut your strings
Pull out his hair with your moveable fingers
(It looks so real)
But one won't do it so collect the set
Dress him up in pink ribbons
Put him in a kitchenette
(How does this feel?)
Tear Off Your Own Head
Tear Off Your Own Head
It's a doll revolution
It'll turn you around
It's a doll revolution
They're taking over
and they're tearing it down
It's a doll revolution
A summer's day so long ago
A thousand boats dancing on the bay
I came to you inside a dream
We both held hands and fell into the water
You never claimed to know me well
The dark eyed son, the privileged man
You found me bitter, you thought me cold
Well now I'm gonna make you understand
My mother died, my father cried
You left me lonely by the waterside
Waterside, so deep and wide
If I follow, maybe I will find her
Beyond the salt and spray
The current carried her away
(Aaa)
Beyond the salt and spray
A current carried her away
(Away)
(Aaa)
I can't outrun my destiny
Tell me who will sing a song for me
Darkness darkness cover me
By my own hand is the way it has to be
My mother died my father cried
(Father cried)
You will find me by the waterside
Waterside so deep and wide
(So deep and wide)
If I follow, maybe I will find her
(By waterside)
If I follow, maybe I will find her
(So deep and wide)
Maybe I will find her
(By waterside)
(So deep and wide)
(By waterside)
(So deep and wide)
(By waterside)
(So deep and wide)
(By waterside)
(So deep and wide)
Everything in a moment starting where
Something you said is hanging in the air
Now I know my life is sweetening
Changing everything
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Running through my head
Something I have dreamed about
And I feel so real
And it feels so right
Something that you said
Showing you every weakness
And feeling strong for it
I used to run from real love
Now I long for it
Now I know what I've been missing
Since I've been listening
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Lying in my bed
Whispering your name out loud
And I feel so real
And it feels so right
Something that you said
Got through to me tonight
Never so far you can't call me back
I'm never more than a single kiss away
And I feel so real
And it feels so right
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Running through my head
Something I had dreamed about
And I feel
And I feel
And it feels so right
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Lying in my bed
Whispering your name out loud
Single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
Single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
I know what you're thinkin'
She can't be complete
'Til the right kind of man
Come sweep her off her feet
Well I've been there before
Times four or times five
With the right kind of man
Barely made it out alive
I'm single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
Alone but not lonely
I've made up my mind
And chosen the life
It's a solitary kind
I got sun in my mornin'
Got love in my day
And I don't waste one moment
Wishin' it away
Single by choice
Single by choice
Single by choice
Single by choice
Single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
Single by choice
Single by choice
Single by choice
Told her you'd forget
It hasn't happened yet
Oh oh oh, you want to know.
She said nothing
Nothing, nothing
She said nothing
You'd wanna hear right now.
What goes through your head
Better left unsaid, yeah
Oh oh oh, you want to know.
She says nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You'd got to hear right now.
Nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now.
Yeah, nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now.
Yeah, nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
Ride the
Gonna ride the
Ride the
Take all of the money
Take all of the sweet plum of the pie
Don't say that you love me
Don't say it's for me it's a lie, it's a lie
Now you got yourself so wrapped up in it
All you gotta do is wait a minute
All you gotta do is ride the ride
Ride the ride
Ride the ride
Blowing a smokescreen
Never looking at me in the eye
You make it look easy
(Make it look easy)
For someone afraid of falling to fly
(Aah, aa, ahh)
Now you got yourself so wrapped up in it
All you gotta do is wait a minute
All you gotta do is ride the ride
Ride the ride
Ride the ride
(Ride the ride, ride, ride)
Take all of the money
Take all you believe is the prize
Just leave me a moment
(Aah, leave me a moment)
Just leave me a bright piece of the sky
(Aah, aah)
Bright piece of the sky
Now you got yourself so wrapped up in it
All you gotta do is wait a minute
All you gotta do is ride the ride
Ride the ride
(Now you got yourself so wrapped up in it)
(All you gotta do is wait a minute)
Ride the ride
(Now you got yourself so wrapped up in it)

Saw your head turned a bit too far to the right now
Saw the eye go a little spark when she walks by now.
But if you wanna love
You wanna love another girl
I'll leave it up to you
But I won't be tested
(You feel restless now)
While you feel restless (restless).
Now I'm wondering every time that you hold me
Well, should I question anything you have told me.
But if you wanna love
You wanna love another girl
I'll leave it up to you
But I won't be tested
(You feel restless now)
While you feel restless (restless) yeah.
I remember when you and I were a nation
I could trust you in any dark situation.
But if you wanna love
You wanna love another girl
I'll leave it up to you
But I won't be tested
(You feel restless now)
If I had the time
I would run away with you
To a perfect world
We'd suspend all that is duty or required.
Late last night you cried
And I couldn't come to you
But on the other side
You and I, inseparable and walking.
Yeah, oh woe.
If we could steal away
Like jugglers and thieves
But we could come and go
Oh, and talk of Michaelangelo.
Oh woe.
If we had the time (we had the time)
We had the time.
The day you looked at me
And it was on your mind
The world is no one's dream
We will never ever find the time.
Oh woe.
If we had the time
I would run away with you
To a perfect world
Hey Sugar, I had that dream again
I saw you in your red crushed velvet suit
Rolling on my feather bed
A Cheshire cat in yellow beetle boots
Who's that stranger lying in your arms?
Her fingers running down your tattooed chest
Valentino's cranking up the charm
And it's coming like a freight train
These pictures in my head
Hey Mister Nickel Romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey, hey Mister
Tell me Mister, what's your game?
Falling, yes she will fall
Your latest victim bites her lip and sighs
She'll do these nasty job for you
Insinuating kisses on the sly
Oh I remember how you get your kicks?
Preying on the innocent at night
Strange desperation you gotta cop that fix
Making every little girl is keeping you alive
Hey Mister Nickel Romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey hey Mister
Tell me Mister, what's your game?
Oh Nickel Romeo, you got no shame
Hey Mister Nickel Romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey, hey Mister
Tell me Mister, what's your game?
Hey Mister Nickel Romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey, hey Mister
You're the master of this game
Because you got no shame
I think, I'm going insane
I want to show you the picture I drew
When I was on the phone talking to you
I made a heart and I colored it red
'Cause I want you here on my side of the bed
I've been dreaming since I was born
And in my dreams I see eyes like yours
I'll be the pillow where you lay your head, lay your head
If you'll come and asleep on my side of the bed
Lay down
The sheets are white like the moon, my love
Dream with me in my room
Lay down
Lay down
The sheets are white like the moon, my love
Dream with me in my room
Lay down
I know you hurt, I feel the pain
Take my hand and come out of the rain
We all need to be comforted
You can get yours on my side of the bed
On my side of the bed
Lay down
On my side of the bed
Come lay down
Tra la la la
Sha la la la
Lay down, lay down
Sha la la la
(I made a heart)
Sha la la la
(I colored it red)
Lay down, lay down
(I colored it red)
Sha la la la
(Lay down)
Sha la la la
(Lay down)
Lay down, lay down
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Lay down, lay down
Sha la la la
(I made a heart)
Sha la la la la
(I colored it red)
Lay down, lay down
(I colored it red)
Sha la la la
(Lay down)
Sha la la la
(Lay down)
Lay down, lay down
He's got a slow, slow ride
Got a camera inside
He takes a picture
Hangs it up to dry.
And there's one girl named
And another disclaimed
All the time
You can't help feelin' ashamed.
Given new reasons to survive
He keeps a number of them alive
There's a warning in the sky
A stranger passing by
And there's more than meets the eye to the guy.
When you're so secure
Never feeling unsure
That's the time
To check behind your door.
'Cause there's one thing said
When another is meant
He's around
Confusing you 'til the end.
Seeing how changable you feel
Don't think this happiness is real
And it's hard to justify
The tangles you untie
You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can barely work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is comin' truly from you
When I get too close to you
I feel the fear, can almost hear it
Then you call me late at night
Sayin' can I be with you wanna be with you
You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can barely work through
(Aah)
Where the heart lies
(Aah)
Which message is coming truly from you
You keep your thoughts to yourself
To keep me guessin' while we're undressin'
Then you're gone for days on end and
Here we go again, here we go again
You're sending me mixed messages
(Aah)
Mixed messages that I can barely work through
Where the heart lies
(Aah)
Which message is coming truly from you
An' I can't keep bouncing 'round like this
Cut me loose then pull me in for a kiss
If you know what you want
I wish you would tell me, clearly
Wonder why it bothers me
I wonder why I even wonder why
If I had another lover well, would it get to you
Would I get through
This puzzle of mixed messages
Mixed messages, that I can barely work through
(Aah)
Where the heart lies
(Aah)
Which message is comin' truly from
You're sending me mixed messages
(Me)
Mixed messages that I can barely work through
(I can't get through)
Where the heart lies
(Lies)
(S. HoffsV. Peterson)
Time's up girl now
No more excusing you
And those books you read
Oh girl, you better review
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Looking out your door
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Now what are you waiting for (what are you waiting for)
You thought that cool
Was in someone else's shoes and makeup
Sitting in your room
Waiting for the moment to come
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Looking out your door
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Now what are you waiting for (what are you waiting for)
You got no tears for
All the guys who passed you by
All the girls who shut you out
They won't recognize you now
You're a good girl now
No more excusing you
And those books you read
Oh girl, you better review
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Looking out your door
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Now what are you waiting for (what are you waiting for)
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Looking out your door
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Oooooh
There he goes
Everybody's watchin'
Everybody knows
Somethin's goin' on
It certainly shows
When he's got a secret for you.
It's there when he walks
It's there when he smiles
He kisses your cheek
And disappears for a while
Nothin' in the world's
Gonna cramp his style
If only he could keep it from you.
Oh I, don't believe that
You haven't seen by now (seen by now)
Don't look at me
'Cause I'll never tell.
Don't ya ever wonder
Why the phone always rings (phone always rings)
Seven-thirty-one
Every evening (every evening)
Doesn't it upset you
When you call his name
And he doesn't pay attention to you.
Oh I, don't believe that
You haven't seen by now (seen by now)
Don't look at me
'Cause I'll never tell.
Don't know the places he goes
Don't know the people he knows
Don't you understand
It's out of your hands.
Oh I, don't believe that
You haven't seen by now (seen by now)
Don't look at me
Can we try to salvage what we can
From the weight of water and sand?
Lifts us up again
Well this world is spinnin' out of control
I'm bracin' just to keep hold
As the clouds move in
With a drivin' wind so strong
Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars?
Up to me, I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far
What a lonely way to be lost at sea
(Ooo ooo ooo)
Like a star in a night filled with tears
Make the sadness disappear
'Cause you're all that I hold dear
Well you walk
Never ever looking back
One defends and one attacks
There's a thousand reasons to begin again
Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars?
Up to me, I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far
Take my hand, come to me
Save a life, rescue you, rescue me
Could it be that we're lost at sea?
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me, I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far
Could it be that we're lost at sea
(Ooo ooo)
And we're drowning under the stars?
(Ooo ooo)
Up to me, I would ride this wave
(Ooo ooo)
Before we drift too far
(Ooo ooo)
Na na na na na na

You know, you got it now
Is that yourself or nothing at all
Oh, you think you live
Well, how can you, you're stuck in four walls.
If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life
You've been locked in you room you've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.
So, you come and go
Well good day, don't waste anytime
Oh, your life today
It's all familiar, soon you will find.
If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away

Don't waste a day
All your life
You've been locked in you room you've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.

I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot on the train
And I must be a masochist
To ever take up with you, James.
It sounds familiar
That tone in your voice
You're gonna quit, James
You leave me no choice.
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.
Well, it wasn't so long ago
I saw love in your eyes
And I think I should've known
But I'm feelin' somewhat surprised.
You think there's someone
Better for you
You think I'm too young
To see this thing through.
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down.
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot out the door
And I don't think I should trust
That kind of love anymore.
And now I realize
I had it all wrong
I'll only take this
Trip for so long.
Woe, James
Letting me down again, James
Guess this is goodbye again, James
Letting me down again
(D. PetersonV. PetersonS. Hoffs)
I don't want to wait in line for you
Darling, you'll know that's what I'll do
The girls are pretty
The girls are many
Ah, but your heart is empty
No one's filling up for you
I'm in line for you, my darling
Yeah, yeah
In the morning when I rise I see
Another girl in line ahead of me
Oh, what advantage with the way you do me
When you walk by and when you get round to me
Yeah, take a look at me
I'm in line for you, my darling
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, I'm in line
I don't want to waste my time
Waiting for some guy to change his mind
You don't ever notice
Standing in the shadows
And I can't tell you why
I'm in line for you, my darling
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, I'm in line
I'm in line, I'm in line
I'm in line, I'm in line
I'm in line, I'm in line
When the daylight disappears
When you're haunted, I'll be near
When the shadows come to call
When you're too scared to stand tall, I can stand tall
Dream and let your dreams go
It's your turn to fly
As long as I'm standing by
You can close your eyes
I will take care of you
Long as you want me to
Whatever else I do
I will take care of you
Don't you worry, while you sleep
All my love is yours to keep
All you wish for, all you know
Will be yours when you let go, you can let go
Smile, if you can now
Smile through your tears
Here where your fears are known
Know you're safe at home
I will take care of you
Long as you want me to
Whatever else I do
I will take care of you
All I have to do
Is say Goodnight
And close your eyes
Fly, fly into the light
I will take care of you
Long as you want me to
Whatever else I do
I know a guy who's tough but sweet
He's so fine,He can't be beat
He's got everything I desire
Sets the summer sun on fire
(Chorus)
I want candy
I want candy
Go to sea when sun goes down
Ain't no finer boy in town
You're my guy,What the doctor ordered
He's so sweet he makes my mouth water
(Chorus)
Yeah
Candy on the beach,there's nothing better
But I like candy when it's wrapped in a sweater
Some day soon I'll make you mine
Then I'll have candy all the time
(Chorus x2)
(x4)
Don't cry, walk on by
Will I have to see anyone cry
When I see you today?
When you speak to me
You're so cold and far away
Oh, I'd give anything
Just to see you smile.
Cause there's a light I saw you shine
A special time
Hiding a different kind, ooooohhhhh
There is nothing I can say
To make you a Happy Man...
Happy Man today.
I'm a luckless child,
But it hurts too much to care
And I'm finally estranged.
So turn away, Walk on by
Still I'd give anything
Just to see you smile.
Cause there's a light I saw you shine
A special time
Hiding a different kind, ooooohhhhh
There is nothing I can say
To make you a Happy Man...
Happy Man today.
(guitar solo)
I love myself
I want you to love me
When I feel down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me
I don't want
Anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
Ohhhh, I don't want
Anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You're the one
Who makes me ? ?
You're the sun
Who makes me shine
When you're around
I'm always laughing
I wanna make you mine
I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
If you could see
Just how much I adore you
I'd get down on my knees
I'd do anything for you
I don't want
Anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
Ohhhh, I don't want
Anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no, yeah
I love myself
I want you to love me
When I feel down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me
I don't want
Anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
Ohhhh, I don't want
Anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
I want you
I don't want anybody else
And when I think about you
I touch myself
oooh, ooh, ooooh, aaaah!
I don't want
Anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
Ohhhh, I don't want
Anybody else
When I think about you
I touch myself
I touch myself
I touch myself
I touch myself
I touch myself
I touch myself
I touch myself
I touch myself
I honestly do
I touch myself
I touch myself
I touch myself
I honestly do
I touch myself
I got nothing there's no sense in looking back
All my yesterdays went up in flames
Now I'm gonna just forget what's in the past
I don't even recognize their names
Two undiscarded lives, a simple proposition
Everyday a little pain
Survival's up to me, since every time I
Open my eyes the world remains
I got nothing
(Got nothing)
Too bad
(Too bad)
But I'm happy 'cause that's all I have
(That's all I have)
I got nothing
(Got nothing)
They want
(They want)
No false dreaming, I practically just won
Looking out their windows from their easy chairs
I can see they think they got it beat
They just see a drifter in some worn out clothes
Not someone who do some good to meet
I'm more ashamed of them than what I'm wearing
Not reaching past the window ledge
There's a view of life that we're not sharing
'Cause they won't walk out to the edge
Hey I got nothing
(Got nothing)
Too bad
(Too bad)
But I'm happy 'cause that's all I have
(That's all I have)
I got nothing
(Got nothing)
They want
(They want)
No false dreaming, I practically just won
Two undiscarded lives, a simple proposition
Everyday a little pain
Survival's up to me, since every time I
Open my eyes the world remains
I got nothing
(Got nothing)
Too bad
(Too bad)
But I'm happy 'cause that's all I have
(That's all I have)
I got nothing
(Got nothing)
They want
(They want)
No false dreaming, I practically just won
I got nothing
(Got nothing)
Too bad
(Too bad)
I got nothing
(Got nothing)
Too bad
(Too bad)
I got nothing
Too bad
I got nothing
Your father is a V.I.P.
He thinks he's always right
Your mother watches her T.V.
Won't talk to you all night
Couldn't help sitting up so high
He's gotta find love
He's never seen a flower tree
Or anything that close
And everyday I'll pass and say
Hey!
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
According to you I just don't care
I'm falling on the ground
First time that you saw me
Said you'd hope I would change
Well, your friends took one look at me
And they sure acted strange
Haven't seen you in a month
And you wonder what it's all about
Well, next time I'm in prison, love
Come and, well bail me out
And everyday I'll pass and say
Hey!
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
According to you I just don't care
I'm falling on the ground
You tried to put the blame on me
You've got a lot of nerve
You say you're so lonely, well
It's all that you deserve
When you get tired of your
Love of life in high society
Well, get some kicks and take a trip
And come on down with me
And everyday I'll pass and say
Hey!
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
According to you I just don't care
I'm falling on the ground
The hero is exposed when
his crimes are brought to the light of day
Won't be feeling sorry,sorry,sorry
on the judgement day
It wasn't me who said
There'll be a price to pay
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
Your mother told you stories
You substitute with girls who tell you more
Suddenly your sycophants are chanting
slogans at your door
They'll see you through now
I saw it all before
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
Emotion is a virtue
For you it is the ole fatal flaw
Sitting on your throne and
Drinking , thinking
She'll return your call
Every story's got an ending
Look out,here it comes, here it comes
And I won't feel bad at all
Head in the clouds you never touch the ground
You're in such a hurry you might lose what you've found
In an out of town, time for you to settle down
Stand back take a look around you
You're running from the pressures of the restless world
Hush for a moment, baby, just be still
Here now
Spend a minute next to me
Slow down
Take the time to let it be
I wanna show you there's no place better than here right now
Meet me where icebergs melt in the sun
(Ooh)
Let all the ties that bound you come undone
(Ooh)
Open up you're alive I miss the fire in your eyes
Give a sign, tell me that you want me
When your overwhelming life becomes too much
(Ooh)
Take another breath and you will see
(Ooh)
Here now
Spend a minute next to me
Slow down
Take the time to let it be
I wanna show you there's no place better than here right now
Here right now
Here right now
Remember how we laugh and carry on
(Carry on)
Long before the madness had begun
(Ehh)
Here now
Spend a minute next to me
Slow down
Take the time to let it be
I wanna show you there's no place better than here right now
Here now
Spend a minute next to me
Slow down
Take the time to let it be
I wanna show you there's no place better than here right now
Here right now
Carry you up in my arms
I hear you sing yourself to sleep
The sky opens up over your room
You sail into your moonlight dreams
So much more than we can see
So much more than we can see
All we are and all we need is
All we are and all we need is
All we are is all we need to be
Grateful, oh grateful
(All we are and all we need is)
(All we are and all we need is)
Grateful, oh grateful
(All we are and all we need is)
(All we are and all we need )
I play this guitar, sing these songs
It changes me, instantly, love is too simple a word
For here comes the sun in the morning
Suddenly happiness comes rolling out from inside me
All we are and all we need is
All we are and all we need is
All we are is all we need to be
Grateful, oh grateful
(All we are and all we need is)
(All we are and all we need is)
Grateful, oh grateful
(All we are and all we need is)
(All we are and all we need )
Carry you up in my arms
I hear you sing yourself to sleep
The sky opens up over your room
Sail into your moonlight dreams
So much more than we can see
So much more than we can see
All we are and all we need is
All we are and all we need is
All we are is all we need to be
Grateful, oh grateful
(All we are and all we need is)
(All we are and all we need is)
Grateful, oh grateful
(All we are is all we need to be)
Hey now
Where you going with
That load of nothing
In your hand?
I said, hey now
All through this green
And pleasant land
I'm going down to Liverpool
To do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool
To do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool
To do nothing
All the days of my life
All the days of my life
Hey there
Where you going
With that UB40
In your hand
I said, hey there
All through this green
And pleasant land
I'm going down to Liverpool
To do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool
To do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool
To do nothing
All the days of my life
All the days of my life
Hey now
Where you going
With that UB40
In your hand
I said hey now
All through this green
And pleasant land
I'm going down to Liverpool
To do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool
To do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool
To do nothing
All the days of my life
A friend told me yesterday
You've been looking for me
If I've been staying out of your way
I've done it intentionally
Saw you walking with her
(Walking with her)
Always kept that few steps behind, yeah
Wonder if she knows for sure
(She knows for sure)
Her man's going on walking the line
Then I say to myself, "Beware"
It's getting out of hand
(Out of hand)
It's getting out of hand
(Don't look now)
It means loving you is like being true
You've got another woman, yeah
Look me right in the eye
Tell me I'm the one that you love
Right back into your lies
Forgetting how determined I was
Then I say to myself, "Beware"
It's getting out of hand
(Out of hand)
It's getting out of hand
(Don't look now)
It means loving you is like being true
You've got another woman, yeah
When I saw you, every single part of me said
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My eyes wanted, my lips wanted to, you know
Lose control
No matter, matter what, you're gonna, gonna get the girl
I really wanna, gotta, gotta get the girl
I can tell you
Got the kind of magic, the stuff
Show me love
(Love love love)
Wherever you go
There you are
There you are
(There you are)
A superstar
No matter, matter what
You're gonna, gonna get the girl
(Wanna be your girl, I wanna be your girl)
No matter, matter what
You're gonna, gonna get the girl
(Wanna be your girl, I wanna be your girl)
I really wanna, gonna, gonna get the girl
I really wanna, you're gonna, gonna get the girl
I really wanna, you're gonna, gonna get the girl
No matter, matter what, you're gonna, gonna get the girl
(Wanna be your girl, I wanna be your girl)
I really wanna you've gotta, gotta get the girl
(Gotta be your girl, I wanna be your girl)
No matter, matter what, you're gonna, gonna get the girl
(A superstar, is what you are)
(Wanna be your girl, I wanna be your girl)
I really wanna you've gotta, gotta get the girl
(A superstar, is what you are)
(Gotta be your girl, I wanna be your girl)
A superstar, is what you are
(Wanna be your girl, I wanna be your girl)
A superstar, is what you are
(Wanna be your girl, I wanna be your girl)
A superstar, is what you are
(Wanna be your girl, I wanna be your girl)
You were standing like a statue in the light
And it looked just like perfection in my eyes
When you spoke I staggered from the flow
Once I touched I never could let go, oh, oh, oh
Is this what I waited for?
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
For a while
So we whispered every secret we could tell
And we painted lovely pictures on ourselves
Though we hid the parts we did not want to know
As the strength of our illusions took control, oh, oh, oh
This is what I waited for
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
I never know if my heart tells lies
Caught in a feeling I just can't fight
Thirst like a warning too, then come back around
Turn the clock back around
Oh, oh
This is what I waited for
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand, do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming, is this burning an eternal flame?
I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me, do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming or is this burning an eternal flame?
Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, oh
Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, oh
Close your eyes, give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand, do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming or is this burning an eternal flame?
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand, do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming, is this burning an eternal flame?
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand, do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming, an eternal flame?
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand, do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming, is this burning an eternal flame?
L.A. to Reno
Checking out the scene-o
Feeling so mean-o
Sometimes I wish I could crash and burn
Winding through the hot night
Without my headlights
Twenty twenty hindsight
Sometimes I wish I could crash and burn
Crash and burn
And I never ever felt so lonely
Crash and burn
Can't look them in the eye
Just want to drive and drive and drive
Going nowhere
And I don't care
Can't wait 'til I get there
Sometimes I wish I could crash and burn
Fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety
Gotta be a place where they can't find me
Watching all those bridges burn behind me
And if I can't see
What's passing me
Nothing's gonna touch me and I'll fly
I wish I could crash and burn
Crash and burn
And I never ever felt so lonely
Crash and burn
Can't look them in the eye
Just want to drive and drive and drive
On my Philco I hear an echo
There was a wreck-o yesterday
And by tomorrow
They'll sweep the char-o
And wash the tar and trouble away
I wish I would
I wish I would
(S. HoffsV. PetersonD. Roback)
Well, if you're feeling down
You know I'll be round
And you know that you can call on me
You'll wish you were dead
Take a breath instead
Yeah, take a piece of everything you see
And you know that the world was made for you
Life's in shape, so what're you gonna do
Your eyes are painted blue
Look again, you see it's true, yeah
Your head's spinning round
Your folks bring you down
But you know that you can call on me
And you know that the world was made for you
Life's in shape, so what're you gonna do
Your eyes are painted blue
Look again, you see it's true, yeah
Well, if you're feeling down
You know I'll be round
As you know that you can call on me
Call on me
Call on me (call on me)
Oh, my love
You say this is the end
I'll tell you it's the hardest thing
I've ever had to do my friend
But I'll go
I'll do what you say
But when I walk
I will walk away from you
And the dark place you come from
The hurt you share between the two
Run now
Hide what you know to be the truth
Yes, you know
(I will walk)
That I will walk away
And I'll pretend
(I will walk)
I don't feel something breaking
Look at yourself
It does no good to cry
It's not forever
But hey, you think that I'm so strong
You think I've got it all
Maybe you're wrong, ohh
Hey hey
So go
(I will walk)
I'll do what you say
But when I walk
(I will walk)
I will walk away
Hey hey
(I will walk)
I'll let you walk away
And I'll pretend
(I will walk)

If I told you, I don't mind
Would you believe me when I say to you
"You're not my kind"
Do I deceive you with this fragile disguise?
Ask me no questions an' I will tell you no lies
If you could read my heart, I would not deny
But I'll pretend all these tears on my face, don't imply
That I'm not happy just to see you with her
(Aah aah aah)
One small voice that will never be heard
(Aah aah aah, aah aah aah)
I'm in love with you
(You)
Oh, I'm in love with you
(You)
But I turn away when you look in my eyes
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies
I'm in love with you
Aah aah
(Aah aah)
Aah aah aah
Aah aah aah
I'm in love with you
(You)
Oh, I'm in love with you
(You)
Tryin' to smile with a hole in my heart
No one knows I'm fallin apart
I'm in love with you
(You)
Oh, I'm in love with you
(You)
But I turn away when you look in my eyes
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies
You were so amused when I made myself available
You had to ask if it was all intentional.
Well, something's goin' on (on and on)
Something's goin' on (goin' on and on)
I am finding out all about you.
The sun is hiding and the car is running badly
I-I know only one way a friend should kiss a friend goodbye.
But, something's goin' on (on and on)
Something's goin' on (goin' on and on)
I am finding out all about you.
I'm taking it all too hard I have nothing left to fight you with
All your pretty things are merely to create the myth.
That something's goin' on (on and on)
Something's goin' on (goin' on and on)
I am finding out all about you.
Yeah, something's goin' on (on and on)
Something's goin' on (going on and on and)
I am finding out all about you.
You think I'm crazy or something
Always following you around
You say I'm a hopeless case
Run an obsession ito the ground
You call me a loser
You call me a shadowing fool
Look over your shoulder
And you say I'm haunting you
So, why do you call me?
Why do you look for me?
Why do your eyes follow me the way they do?
You hold me responsible
Yes, so I stand accused
of causing all the trouble after highschool
between him and you
Yeah, you call me a loser
You call me a shadowing fool
But I was a good girl
Yeah, till you taught me
what it means to be true
So, why do you call me?
Why do you look for me
Why do your eyes follow me the way they do?
Why do you call me?
I know you look for me
Another crummy perfect day
Waking up in L.A.
Never thought that I would stay so long
Dusty leaves and bees are hummin'
Ten day says there's no rain comin'
The sun is shining ‘cause
It nearly always does
What else can I say
What a life
What a life
What a life we lead
I'm just layin' here
So wake me when it's time to leave
Orange sky and ashes falling
I can't get home the car is stalling
How lucky can I get?
I am so fortunate
What a Life
What a Life
What a Life we lead
I'm just waitin' here
So wake me when it's time to leave
Yeah, wake me when it's time to leave
Well, it's another perfect day
