Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949), nicknamed "The Boss," is an American singer-songwriter-performer who records and tours with the E Street Band. Springsteen is widely known for his brand of heartland rock, poetic lyrics, and Americana sentiments centered on his native New Jersey.
Springsteen's recordings have included both commercially accessible rock albums and more somber folk-oriented works. His most successful studio albums, Born in the U.S.A. and Born to Run, showcase a talent for finding grandeur in the struggles of daily American life; he has sold more than 65 million albums in the United States and more than 120 million worldwide and he has earned numerous awards for his work, including 21 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes and an Academy Award. He is widely regarded by many as one of the most influential songwriters of the 20th century, and in 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him as the 23rd Greatest Artist of all time.
Springsteen was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, and spent his childhood and high school years in Freehold Borough. He lived on South Street in Freehold Borough and attended Freehold Borough High School. His father, Douglas Frederick Springsteen, was of Dutch and Irish ancestry and worked, among other vocations, as a bus driver, although he was frequently unemployed; his surname is Dutch for jump stone. His mother, Adele Ann (née Zerilli), was a legal secretary and was of Italian ancestry. His maternal grandfather was born in Vico Equense, a city near Naples. He has two younger sisters, Virginia and Pamela. Pamela had a brief film career, but left acting to pursue still photography full time; she took photos for the Human Touch and Lucky Town albums.
I feel like walking; diving in tears
Water my roses with sweet liquor, be a stranger to fears
Ooh, see I only wanted to be, be your girl;
To love you in the ways you've never known
But you can't love me, no, you can't love me
If you don't even love yourself...
Oh, I still wanna be there,
But I've got more enough in reasons
To see this ain't our season
I should be leaving;
Oh, these leaves dancing in the dark
But you've got my heart...
And I don't want us apart, baby
No, no...
You're sweeter than the spring
Nobody's ever been more
I know you'd give me the shirt off of your shoulders, you'd give me the world
Ooh, but I only wanted to be your woman
To give you all the things I know I can
But you can't know me, no, you can't know me
If you don't even know yourself
Oh, I still wanna be there,
But I've got more enough in reasons
To see this ain't our season
I should be leaving;
Oh, these leaves dancing in the dark
But somehow you've got my heart
These leaves, I want them to fall
But these leaves, I can't shake 'em off
With these leaves, I can't leave at all
At all...
But I should be dancin' baby, dancin
Yeah, I should be dancin' baby, dancin'
Yeah, I should keep groovin' baby, groovin
Yeah, I should keep groovin' on my own
But you got my heart
And I don't want us apart, baby
No, no, oh oh...
We keep on blooming;
You plant a smile everyday
Oh, but I could be swimming in the dead end
Cause I know your ways
Oooh, but see I only wanted to be, be your girl
To show you all the things you've never known
But you can't love me
No, you can't love me
If you don't even love yourself
Oh, I still wanna be there
But I got more enough in reasons
To see this ain't my season
I should be leaving
These leaves dancin' in the dark
But somehow you've got my heart
Oh, baby...
Oh, darling...
Oh, come on baby...
But I should be dancin', baby, dancin
Yeah, I should keep dancin', baby, dancin'
Yeah, I should keep groovin', baby, groovin
