She used to watch him from afar She used to dream about him and she'd wish upon a star That one day she'd have him for her own Throw caution to the wind And with a grin He'd take her home She's something of a dreamer somethig of a fool something of a heart break when she gives her heart to you And she used to hear his voice at nigth a sweet whisper from the shadows dancing with the backporch light and she used to feel him in the wind his warm breath upon her neck and the goosebumps up and down her skin She's something of a dreamer somethig of a fool something of a heart break when she gives her heart to you Well she should have known by now but that's the foolish part of her she should of seen some how but a dreamer's never cured when heartbreaks fast approach when a love ain't truly love he promised wine and roses and she thought it was enough |

No one's got to tell me it's over I could see it from miles away No one's got to tell me What I don't already know today No one's got to tell me they've seen you On the town with an old girlfriend No one's got to tell me You look like you've fallen in love again 'Cause you're out of my life now With a wave of her hand You never had it so good babe I never had it so bad Now you can do what you want to And never feel sad You never had it so good babe I never had it so bad No one's got to tell me the difference Between me and the one who's returned No one's got to tell me You never really got over her No one's got to tell me they've seen you Looking like a brand new man No one's got to tell me You look like you've fallen in love again 'Cause you're out of my life now With a wave of her hand You never had it so good babe I never had it so bad Now you can do what you want to And never feel sad You never had it so good babe I never had it so bad So you just go where you go And do what you do And be who you want to be But when she burns you again And your phone doesn't ring Baby it's me 'Cause you're out of my life now With a wave of her hand You never had it so good babe I never had it so bad Now you can do what you want to And never feel sad You never had it so good babe I never had it so bad |

A few more cigarettes now honey One more jolt of joe A couple hours past New York City A few more turnpike tolls One more minute away from you Is a minute that lasts too long When I get back we're gonna lock the door baby And disconnect the phone We could use a week to get reacquainted Some time to feel it out But leave your small talk back at home baby This ain't what that's about Just read my lips Yes I think you can Just read my lips And you'll understand Well I can see it in your eyes now honey 'Cause I've seen it in myself You've got a few old scars that's ancient history baby That was someone else Well I could tell you that you're only human That you're right to be afraid But how can you pull back on me now Don't you make that big mistake Well you could give it up Or you could just give in Now it's a choice between the two But I weren't born no yesterday baby I wasn't born a fool Just read my lips Yes I think you can Just read my lips And you'll understand Just read my lips And you can read my mind Just read my lips Just one more time This ain't no game of cat and mouse It ain't no truth or dare I ain't got 20 questions for you Just one thing to declare Just read my lips Yes I think you can Just read my lips And you'll understand Just read my lips And you can read my mind Just read my lips Just one more time |

This shirt is old and faded All the color's washed away I've had it now for more damn years Than I can count anyway I wear it beneath my jacket With the collar turned up high So old I should replace it But I'm not about to try This shirt's got silver buttons And a place upon the sleeve Where I used to set my heart up Right there anyone could see This shirt is the one I wore to every boring high school dance Where the boys ignored the girls And we all pretended to like the band This shirt was a pillow for my head On a train through Italy This shirt was a blanket beneath the love We made in Argeles This shirt was lost for three whole days In a town near Buffalo 'Till I found the locker key In a downtown Trailways bus depot This shirt was the one I lent you And when you gave it back There was a rip inside the sleeve Where you rolled your cigarettes It was the place I put my heart Now look at where you put a tear I forgave your thoughtlessness But not the boy who put it there This shirt was the place your cat Decided to give birth to five And we stayed up all night watching And we wept when the last one died This shirt is just an old faded piece of cotton Shining like the memories Inside those silver buttons This shirt is a grand old relic With a grand old history I wear it now for Sunday chores Cleaning house and raking leaves I wear it beneath my jacket With the collar turned up high So old I should replace it But I'm not about to try |

Hey baby tell me what we're gonna do
It's getting crazy and I need some help from you We were so connected that you were a part of me Now I feel an emptiness right to the heart of me But you pretend and I pretend That everything is fine And though we should be at an end It's so hard admittin' When it's quittin' time Hey baby I'm running out of things to say Please don't hate me this feeling just won't go away Now we're spending all our time caught in a fantasy Just trying to keep in mind the way it used to be But you pretend and I pretend That everything is fine And though we should be at an end It's so hard admittin' When it's quittin' time But you pretend and I pretend That everything is fine And though we should be at an end It's so hard admittin' When it's quittin' time |

Fields of green by the side of the road Going down in Mary's land Roll down the window feel the cool of a grove Hit the palm of your outstretched hand Radio's playing a tune from the country Fiddle and an old time band Race with the moon to the edge of the water Down in Mary's land Down in Mary's land East of Virginia where the bay meets a river Down in Mary's land The wind pulls your sleeve like a long lost lover Whose heart can't understand How you ever could leave The view you behold Ain't it fine and ain't life grand When you don't need nothing But some beer and a bushel Down in Mary's land Gonna sleep with the stars And a slice of the moon Hanging right above my bed Gonna dream not of things That I've left behind But those I've found instead Down in Mary's land Radio's playing a tune from the country Fiddle and an old time band Race with the moon to the edge of the water Down in Mary's land Gonna sleep with the stars And a slice of the moon Hanging right above my bed Gonna dream not of things That I've left behind But those I've found instead Down in Mary's land |

Every night she sleeps alone And by her bed she puts the phone And every morning after that She takes the phone and puts it back He's got a wife back home and three kids up and grown But these are things that go unsaid He might call her from the road just in time to say hello And goodbye again She keeps his picture tucked away She thinks she'll have it framed one day And maybe he'll come see it there Hanging by her rocking chair In a corner of her room on a Sunday afternoon When all the world is dull and gray She might close her eyes and sit, rocking gently for a bit Till all the bad thoughts go away Back when children played their games London Bridge and Jesse James She captured flags, she bounced the ball And every time, she beat them all And now she comes home to a cat in a three-room walk-up flat And plays a game of solitaire Well she made a fist last night, and she broke the hallway light And the pieces scattered everywhere You see, he's got a wife back home and three kids up and grown But these are things that go unsaid He might call her from the road just in time to say hello And goodbye again |

Too tired to fight so I just gave in Last night I slept in your arms again And I felt my heart next to your skin Beatin' like crazy Been runnin' from something I can't explain It ain't just anger, it ain't just pain But it goes away when you call my name Callin' me baby But you ain't no good for a girl like me I was doin' fine when I first met you Swept me off my feet, next thing I knew I was wonderin' where you'd gone off to Leavin' me lonely This town's too small for your kind of games Pointin' fingers, namin' names But I'm so far gone I'll take anything That you can give me Still you ain't no good for a girl like me Last night I felt that I couldn't stand no more But I found myself standin' right here by your door Too tired to care that you're bad for me My heart says stay, but my head says leave But I can't get far when I'm on my knees Begging you baby You ain't no good for a girl like me Last night I felt that I couldn't stand no more But I found myself standin' right here by your door Too tired to fight so I just gave in Last night I slept in your arms again And I felt my heart next to your skin Beatin' like crazy Beatin' like crazy Beatin' like crazy Hey! |

Out on the floor the couples are swaying To "One Faded Love" on the jukebox tonight You slide in your coins and the music keeps playing A slow country dance on a Saturday night Sweethearts in love and others just lonely Searching for someone to waltz with tonight In a smoky old bar you know that it's only A slow country dance on a Saturday night And love's never easy or ever as true When the changing of partners is no longer new You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes Dance just to dance in three-quarter time Down at the bar a woman tells stories Batting her eyes to someone not there Her glass is half full or maybe half empty Like the jokes told about her when they think she can't hear Now the perfume is cheap and the makeup is careless And the dress out of fashion for a woman her age But she don't give a damn for those who would cherish A much lighter step and a much younger face And love's never easy or ever as true When the changing of partners is no longer new You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes Dance just to dance in three-quarter time Out on the floor the couples are swaying To "One Faded Love" on the jukebox tonight |

Well I know it ain't been roses lately, baby, it's just been thorns And no matter what we do, nothing seems to change Love has always been my shelter, for you it's been a storm But for a while I thought we'd almost beat the rain Now there's a hole here in my pocket where all my dreams have gone Fallen out like so many nickels and dimes And last of all you, you'd always been my good luck charm I should've known that luck's a waste of time 'Cause it don't bring you love if you don't love And it don't bring you time if you ain't got time And it don't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong And it don't bring you kindness if you ain't kind Now there's a whole lot of life to be unsure of But there's one thing I can safely say I know That of all the things that finally desert us Pride is always the last thing to go But it won't bring you love if you don't love And it won't bring you time if you ain't got time And it won't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong And it won't bring you kindness if you ain't kind And now I wish you only roses, baby, without the thorns And I hope your dreams are always within reach And I wish you shelter, baby, from all your storms They scared you, but they never seemed to teach That I can't bring you love if you don't love And I can't bring you time if you ain't got time And I can't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong And I can't bring you kindness if you ain't kind And I can't bring you kindness if you ain't kind |
