(She!) She told me that she loved me,
And like a fool I believed her from the start
(She!) She said she'd never hurt me,
But then she turned around and broke my heart.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?

(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
(She!) She devoured all my sweet love,
Took all I had and then she fed me dirt

(She!) She laughed while I was crying
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?

(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
And now I know just why
she keeps me hanging 'round,
(Hanging 'round)
She needs someone to walk on
so her feet don't touch the ground
(Don't touch the ground)
But I love her! (Love her!)
I need her! (Need her!)
I want her! (Want her!)
Yeah! (Yeah!) Yeah! (Yeah!)
Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-She!

Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong, now
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
(She!) Why am I missing her?
(She!) I should be kissing her!
(She!) Why am I missing her?
(She!) I should be kissing her!

When love comes knockin at your door
Just open up and let im in.
Its gonna be a magic carpet ride;
So little girl now dont you run and hide.

I know that youve been hurt before
But dont you be afraid no more.
Throw off the chains that bind
And leave the past behind;
When love comes knocking at your door.

When love comes knocking at your door
Just open up and let im in.
Its gonna be a magic carpet ride;
So little girl now dont you run and hide.
Youll see a rainbow evry day,
The sun will shine in evry way.
Throw off the chains that bind
And leave the past behind;
No need to worry anymore,
When love comes knocking at your door
At your door,
At your door,
At your door.

Mary, mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, mary, can I go too.
This one thing I will vow ya,
I'd rather die than to live without ya.
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?

Mary, mary, tell me truly
What did I do to make you leave me.
Whatever it was I didn't mean to,
You know I never would try and hurt ya.
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?

What more, mary, can I do
To prove my love is truly yours?
I've done more now than a clear-thinkin' man would do.

Mary, mary, it's not over.
Where you go, I will follow.
'til I win your love again
And walk beside you,
But until then.
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?

Mary, mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, mary, mary, mary, mary, where you goin' to?

I know about the guy who treated you so bad
He took your love and then just walked away
I know that you have got a reason to be sad
But help is on its way

Hold on, girl; be a little bit stronger
Hold on, girl; wait a little bit longer
Hold on, girl, help is on its way

I know you feel as though your world is at an end
But you don't have to live with yesterday
I promise you the sun is gonna shine again
And help is on its way

Hold on, girl; now that we are together
Hold on, girl; things are gonna be better
Hold on, girl, help is on its way

She knows her mind all right, your Auntie Grizelda,
She says she knows my kind, she might, maybe so.
Oh, yeah, she's raised you right, your Auntie Grizelda,
You only know the things she wants you to know.

I know she's having a fit,
She doesn't like me a bit,
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda.

You can't begrudge her style, your Auntie Grizelda,
She couldn't budge a smile and do it for free.
So righteous making fudge, your Auntie Grizelda,
So proper judging others over her tea.

You look just like her you do,
I know by looking at you,
That you've been listening to your Auntie Grizelda.

Oh, no, don't look at me like Auntie Grizelda
It takes much more to be someone of your own.
You've got to make it free from Auntie Grizelda
Or just like her you'll have to make it alone.

I know she's having a fit,
She doesn't like me a bit,
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda.

Auntie Grizelda, Auntie Grizelda

I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone,
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone.

You're trying to make your mark in society,
You're using all the tricks that you used on me,
You're reading all them high-fashion magazines,
The clothes you're wearing, girl, they're causing public scenes.

I said, I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone,
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone. (No!)

Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,

When I first met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes,
But, now you're walking around like you're front page news,
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose,
But, you won't find my name in your book of "Who's Who".

I said, I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone, (No, girl, not me!)
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone. (No!)

Not your steppin' stone,
I'm not your steppin' stone,

Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,

No, girl, I'm not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,

Girl, you look mighty good to me
And I know that you've got to be
The kind of girl I could love.

You've got the sweetest pair of eyes
And your kiss would be paradise
You're the kind of girl I could love.

You do something to my soul
That no one's ever done.
If you're looking for true love
Then let me be the one.

Girl, deep in my soul I'm sure
And my heart has no doubt that you're
The kind of girl I could love.
The kind of girl I could love.
(Repeat and fade)

There'll be birds singing everywhere
And the wind will be blowin' through your hair
I'll look in your eyes
And wait for the prize
Your lips kissing mine with a love that is real
And you'll look so young and fair

On the day we fall in love
You and me
On the day we fall in love
You'll see

There'll be rainbows reaching across the sky
And we'll both be so happy, we'll cry
We'll walk hand in hand
In snow or in sand
Whether roses are blooming or snowmen stand by
Time will stop for you and I

On the day we fall in love
It will be
On the day we fall in love
You'll see

And if the lines that I say fall apart
It's because I won't know where to start
But you'll understand when I say them to you
'Cause they'll come straight from my heart

On the day we fall in love
You and me
On the day we fall in love
You'll see
You'll see
You'll see

Sometime in the morning
A simple thought may occur to you,
And you hold her,
And tell her all the things you never told her.
Your love has shown me things
I never thought I could see;
I didn't know
It could be done so easily.
Now I know
You're where it is for me.

Sometime in the evening
You're sitting there by the fireside
And she'll touch you
And you'll realize how much you never knew before,
How much you couldn't see.
You didn't know
It could be done so easily
Now you know
She's all a girl could be.

Now in her childlike eyes
You see the beauty there
You know it was always there
And you need no longer wear a disguise.

Sometime in the morning
You'll just reach out and she will be there,
Close as the summer air.

Sometime in the morning she will be there.

Ev'ry face that I see is all wrapped up in frowns,
And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down.
Laugh,
'Cause the music is funny
Yeah, the bass sounds off-beat.
Ain't that neat.
Laugh,
When you lose all your money,
Or you can't find your shoes
To cover your feet.

It's not so hard to see exactly what I'm after.
Sometimes a tear should fall, but I require giggles and chuckles
Laugh,
When you're keepin' a secret
And it seems to be known
By the rest of the world.
Laugh,
When you go to a party,
And you can't tell the boys
From the girls.

Every face that I see is all wrapped up in frowns
And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down.
Laugh,
At the things that are wrong.
If you thinks it's this song,
Then laugh.
Then laugh.
Then laugh.

[Repeat to fade]

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried. I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

In every little town and village, too
Somewhere in the neighbourhood
You find a little band of ladies who
Can't stop doing good
Good for the pigeons in the park
Good for their weekly tea
Good for the national bank
Where they keep their treasury

We're the ladies aid society
And we're really a great bunch of girls
We're the ladies aid society
And soon we'll take over the world

Here they come marching down the street
With their picket signs in hand
With their blue and white pleated uniforms
And their all girl five-piece band
Down with long-haired singing groups
Down with the mayor, too
And if you're under 65
They're down on you

We're the ladies aid society
And we just want to sell you the truth
We're the ladies aid society
And it's time we clamp down on the youth

We're the ladies aid society
And we're really a great bunch of girls
We're the ladies aid society
And soon we'll take over the world

We're the ladies aid society
And we just want to sell you the truth
We're the ladies aid society
And it's time we clamp down on the youth

People come and people go
Movin' fast and movin' slow
I'm in a crowd yet I'm all alone
The road is long the road is rough
I do believe I've had enough
I'm gonna turn around and head for home.

And I hope you're there
And you still care
And if you do,
I'll spend my life with you.

I've had all the time I need
To rearrange my mind and lead
The life I thought I wanted yesterday
I played a game that couldn't last
And now some mem'ries from the past
Have turned my thoughts around a different way.

And girl, I find
You're still on my mind.
And if you want me to
I'll spend ny life with you.

[Instumental]

And girl, I find
You're still on my mind.
And if you want me to
I'll spend ny life with you.

If you think I want the life you choose to live
I don't think I want the love you've got to give
If you think my goals could be so trivial and small
Then, I don't think you know me at all
Born between the covers of your fashion books
You think you can make it, girl, on just your looks
But you could never bring me up
Between us stands a wall
No, I don't think you know me at all
Believing in the promise painted in your smile
I've chased what I was running from, girl, all my life
I've known you a hundred times in memories I recall, but
I don't think you know me at all
I don't think you know me at all.

You call my name then you run for protection
I reach out to hold ya' but it's just a reflection
Throught the looking glass

Now you've been looking at your life through a mirror
It's time you started seeing things a little bit clearer than
Through the looking glass

Watch me break through, girl
I still love you, girl

I think you love me by the way you come on girl
Then I turn away for a minute, you're gone girl
Through the looking glass

Ahh...
You're looking through me
Like you never knew me

I've got some things that I'm tryin' to show ya
But you fade away how can I get to know 'ya
Through the looking glass

Don't listen to Linda
She said all those things before
She's just a pretender,
And though you couldn't love her more
She'll lead you on, and then one day
She'll say you'll have to part
Don't listen to Linda
She'll only break your heart.

Don't listen to Linda
If you want some good advice,
Just try to remember,
She did it once, she'll do it twice
There's more to her little games,
Than your eyes can see,
Don't listen to Linda,
Or you'll end up like me.

You'll never understand her
All the presents you could hand her,
Could never be enough, oh no,
So, don't underestimate her,
'Cause sooner or later,
The goings gonna start to get rough.

Don't listen to Linda,
Don't believe the things you hear.
You'll end up, contender,
For the "Loser Of The Year."
I've said everything I can
To try and make you see
Don't listen to Linda,
Or you'll end up like me.

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried. I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?

Not a trace of doubt in my mind.

Ev'ryone in town knew Mr. Webster;
He worked at the bank for forty years.
And each week Mr. Frizby made his check out
For sixty-eight dollars clear.

And through the years he thwarted twenty-seven robberies
And each time Frizby promised him a raise.

They gave a retirement party for Mr. Webster
Everyone from the bank was there.
They had a cake and flowers ordered special
And Frizby had a speech prepared.

And a little white box that held a watch with this inscription
"To Mr. Webster, with regards."

Then came the telegram from Mr. Webster
Said, "Sorry...stop...Cannot attend..
I've flown away and taken all your money
Wish you were here to help me spend."

And one by one all the people left the party
And Mr. Frizby locked the door.

Valleri. I love my Valleri.
There's a girl I know who makes me feel so good.
And I wouldn't live without her, even if I could.
They call her Valleri.
I love my Valleri.

She's the same little girl who used to hang around my door.
But she sure looks different than the way she looked before.
I call her Valleri.
I love my Valleri.

Valleri. I love my Valleri.
I love my Valleri.
I need ya, Valleri.

Girl, don't you know every time I see you smiling,
It hurts so bad, cause when I see you, I start crying,
I've tried everything to stop, but there's no denying,
That falling in love with you, girl, is just like dying.

Oh, don't walk away,
How, how can I make you stay?
Don't turn away,
I can still hear you saying those words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through.

Girl, don't you know we could work it out with talking?
You won't look around or slow down your walking,
I've given you everything with kiss to seal it,
You had to get your kicks out of trying to steal it.

Now, I'm standing here,
Strange, strange voices in my ears,
I feel the tears,
But, all I can hear are those words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through, ahh.

Now, I'm standing here,
Strange, strange voices in my ears,
I feel the tears,
But, all I can hear are those words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through.
Words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through.
Words that never were true,
Just spoken to help nobody but you,
Words with lies inside,
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through.

Girl, I know the grass is greener just around the bend,
Gotta say goodbye, but don't you fear,
Though the road is broken, I might fail to find the end,
I won't disappear.
I'll be back up on my feet,
I'll be back up on my feet,
Chase the moon and sun to find my one and only you.
I'll be back up on my feet,
I'll be back up on my feet,
Looking high, I'm looking low,
When I find my boots I know I got to go.
Back up on my feet...ah, ah.
Maybe I will be a star, or maybe just a clown,
Girl, I'll never know until I try,
Maybe I will meet a girl who'll try to keep me down,
But you won't have to cry.
I'll be back up on my feet,
I'll be back up on my feet,
Chase the moon and sun to find my one and only you.
I'll be back up on my feet,
I'll be back up on my feet,
Looking high, I'm looking low,
When I find my boots I know I got to go.
Back up on my feet...ah, ah.
SOLO
Maybe I will meet a girl who'll try to keep me down,
But you won't have to cry.
I'll be back up on my feet,
I'll be back up on my feet,
Chase the moon and sun to find my one and only you.
I'll be back up on my feet,
I'll be back up on my feet,
Looking high, I'm looking low,
When I find my boots I know I got to go,
When I find my boots I know I got to go,
When I find my boots I know I got to go.

About as low as I felt in a long time
And I know that I did a wrong at the wrong time
It's plain to see, she's down on me
And I know she'll feel that way for a long time

I was high on top but I didn't know it
(tear drop city)
Tell me, why did I have to go and blow it?
(tear drop city)
I used my lines too many times
And now I've got a badly hurt heart to show it
(tear drop city)

Took me too long to discover
How much I really love her
How'd I ever end up in this bind?
What a drag

There she goes looking for pretty clover
(tear drop city)
No one knows what it's like until it over
(tear drop city)
Without a doubt, I just found out
And I suppose I never did get to know her
(tear drop city)
Tear drop city, tear drop city

Took me to long to discover
How much I really love her
How'd I ever end up in this bind?
What a drag

About as low as I felt in a long time...

I walk alone most every night
Beneath the stars that shine so bright
Bright as the eyes of you

And when the sky comes falling down
And there is darkness all around, all around
I'll be looking for you

Lonely, I look at the green, flowing meadow
Wondering what I am to do
Sun going down and the trees cast their shadow
In the shadow and the mist
I remember the last kiss of you

And when the skies are once more blue
I get that old longing, too
To be held in the arms of you

And when the skies are once more blue
I get that old longing, too
To be held in the arms of you
To be held in the arms of you

I know about the guy who treated you so bad
He took your love and then just walked away
I know that you have got a reason to be sad
But help is on its way

Hold on, girl; be a little bit stronger
Hold on, girl; wait a little bit longer
Hold on, girl, help is on its way

I know you feel as though your world is at an end
But you don't have to live with yesterday
I promise you the sun is gonna shine again
And help is on its way

Hold on, girl; now that we are together
Hold on, girl; things are gonna be better
Hold on, girl, help is on its way
