Anthony, Anthony
Oh, he said he can't love me
But I think he can
Yes, I think he can
I told him that just before he ran
Just before he ran
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
And he's not lookin' back
He's not lookin' back
Cause he doesn't want anything I have
Or anything I am
Anthony, Anthony
Oh, he said he can't love me
She carries a tiny man in her pocket
To help her keep things in place
The pitter patter on the windowsill
Sunrise, sunset, yet she remains the same
Maybe you should get out for a while
Just watch it cus’ you’ll smile
Instead you elect to stay inside
Where the green grass dies and will always cloud your mind
Cloud your mind
I remember days gone by
When you used to occupy your time
With positive vibes
So when a new dawn comes early
How about you fill up your soul for me
Instead of wasting all your time
Wasting all your time
She carries a picture of her best friend
It reminds her of days gone by
She says I pray to Jesus almost every night
But here I sit and wonder why
The big man in the sky don’t change my life
So I play guitar for her
In hopes that maybe it will give her a start
Give her some start
I remember days gone by
When you used to occupy your time
With positive vibes
So when a new dawn comes early
How about you fill up your soul for me
Instead of wasting all your time
Wasting all your time
Yeah you never did
You never did
You never did
Yeah you never did
You never did
You never did
Open up your world to me
Yeah I will sing you happy
I make you light up
Light up, light up, light up
Light up, light up, light up
Light up, light up, light up
Well light up
Yeah my love
She carries a tiny man in her pocket
