Gary Cherone

I'm tired of being me,
and I don't like what I see,
I'm not who I appear to be
So I start off every day,
down on my knees I will pray,
for a change in any way
But as the day goes by,
I live through another lie,
if it's any wonder why

AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME
IF I SAY ONE THING,
THEN I DO THE OTHER
IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG,
THAT GOES ON FOREVER
AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
I'M THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME
WHEN I THINK I'M RIGHT,
I WIND UP WRONG
IT'S A FUTILE FIGHT,
GONE ON TOO LONG

Please tell me if it's true,
am I too old to start anew,
cause that's what I want to do
But time and time again,
when I think I can,
I fall short in the end
So why do I even try,
Will it matter when I die,
Can anyone hear my cry?

AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
TAKE IT DAY BY DAY
MY WILL IS WEAK
AND MY FLESH TOO STRONG
THIS PEACE I SEEK
TILL THY KINGDOM COMES

Give me liberty or give me death
No truer words have ever been said
Well are you prepared for your very last breath?
Don't you dare start what you cannot finish

So when we face, face the adversary
No longer are we the minority

And when history repeats her hour
The pendulum will swing, swing into power
Though not in vain like our forefathers
Freedom, never had no room for cowards

For in the end, there will be equality
By any means necessary

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen
Can be held by the same hand

What's it gonna take to liberate?
An emancipation, a false proclamation?
All these token words that you legislate
Sound a little bit absurd. Hey! And a little too late

When a house is divided, it just will not stand
Once it's decided, a line drawn in the sand

Ah! The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen
Can be held by the same hand

(Guitar Solo)

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
held, held by the same hand!

Whoever said that
Big boys don't cry
You say you never
Shed a tear
Well, listen
That's a lie
We're all
Defenseless
When it comes to pain
I said boys and girls
Alike
Yeah,
We're all the same

It's my party
I'll cry if I want to

Big boys don't cry
As if nothing
Seems to matter
Big boys don't cry
Then why do I
Big boys don't cry
Because nothing
In this world
Ever matters
Big boys don't cry

Hey, I'm not ashamed
To say a tear
Is in my eye
Because another tear
Will take its place
Before I die

I had a dream,
Last night I was blind
And I couldn't see
Color of any kind

Picture the world,
Minus a rainbow
When day becomes night,
Then where will the sun go
Dancing alone,
Just me and my shadow
Color me blind,
So I can see no evil

WHY DO WE DREAM,
IN BLACK AND WHITE?
COLOR ME BLIND
WHY DO WE DREAM
IN BLACK AND WHITE?
COLOR ME BLIND

I had a dream,
I was looking, over the mountain
But I've, I've yet to see the,
The so-called promised land

Picture the world,
Without any color
You couldn't tell,
One face from the other
I don't understand
Why we fight with our brother
Color me blind
Just to love one another

Color me, color you,
COLOR ME BLIND

I had a dream,
Last night I was blind
And I couldn't see
Color of any kind

Picture the world, minus a rainbow
When day becomes night, then where will the sun go
Dancing alone, just me and my shadow
Color me blind, so I can see no evil

WHY DO WE DREAM,
IN BLACK AND WHITE?
COLOR ME BLIND
WHY DO WE DREAM

But I've, I've yet to see the,

Picture the world,

One face from the other
I don't understand
Why we fight with our brother
Color me blind
Just to love one another

Color me, color you,
COLOR ME BLIND

I'm paralysed
Process information
At the speed of light
I'm frozen
In motion
Desensitized
Over stimulated matter
Over mind
Knowing I have become
Comfortably dumb
I have become
Comfortably dumb

I must confess
Highly educated
In my ignorance
Not stupid
Still lucid
Indifferent
Watching a world
Amuse itself to death
I'm muted
I have become
Comfortably dumb
I have become
Comfortably dumb

What? When?
Why? Where?
How come?
Who cares?
Knock, knock
Who's there?
No one
How come?
Who cares?

I have become
Comfortably dumb
I have become
Comfortably dumb

Take me away
So far away
So far away
Won't somebody
Take me away
Take
Take it all away

I read the news today oh boy,
About a tragic comedy
Newspaper hinted suicide,
The letterhead read Dear Johnny
A tainted truth was all it said,
Sleep tight now that
You've made your bed
An arrow that once pierced your heart
Points to the apple on your head

Three sides to every story
Yours, mine
And, Monday morning's

CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,
CUPID'S DEAD
CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,
CUPID'S DEAD

Oh, Romeo, Oh, Romeo
Where did our love go, Romeo?
If you read between the headlines,
You wouldn't be the last to know
No mystery yet to unfold,
A paperboy left in the cold
A love was said to never die,
Withered away and just got old

"Our top story tonight,
is a crime of passion
The victim, an unidentified man,
is found in bed, wearing only a diaper,
holding a bow an arrow in one hand,
and clutching a letter in the other.
The letter simply read ...
CUPID'S DEAD."

Extra, extra, extra,
read all about it

CUPID'S DEAD,

Cupid is dead, deceased,
I got peace of mind
Still it's hard to forget,
what it leaves behind
A lot of love lost,
your feelings are wasted,
tasted the sweetness,
but now you're faced with,
the thought, of being alone
Nor more companionship,
you can handle it,
just abandon it,
leave it behind,
and look for the brighter day
Give it some time,
cause it won't come right away
You gotta be standing strong,
hold on to your dignity
Don't sit around,
saying look what ya did to me
It's time to move on,
you gotta continue
to look for a love,
of a life that's within you
Cupid is dead now,
it's time to rely on,
yourself to cope
You got no shoulder to cry on

Dirty Water Dog


No candidate would I support
His platform could I endorse
Another accomplice slinging dirt
Campaign promises falling short
I don't belong to any race
Pledge allegiance to a place
No borderline in the sand I'd trace
I'm just a sucker for a pretty face
Uncomfortable in the realm of the political
Position's always been a little left of cynical
I'm fundamentally for the individual
Preoccupied purely with the physical

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a hound dog chasing a bird
Sometimes a certain tom's gotta peep
I'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

I don't wanna find religion
Or another man's opinion
I Can't choose what's not my decision
When there's only one under the sun
There's no need to be denied
Chew before swallowing pride
I want to live so let me die
Oh by the way, what's your sign?

Can't comprehend the meaning of the metaphysical
I'd rather leave that to your so-called intellectual
But what I do know I know feels only natural
I'm just a red-blooded heterosexual

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a dirty water doggin' a bird
Sometimes a certain tom's he gotta peep
I'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

(Guitar Solo)

I'm tired of being me, and I don't like what I see, I'm not who I appear to be So I start off every day, down on my knees I will pray, for a change in any way But as the day goes by, I live through another lie, if it's any wonder why AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME IF I SAY ONE THING, THEN I DO THE OTHER IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG, THAT GOES ON FOREVER AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE I'M THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME WHEN I THINK I'M RIGHT, I WIND UP WRONG IT'S A FUTILE FIGHT, GONE ON TOO LONG Please tell me if it's true, am I too old to start anew, cause that's what I want to do But time and time again, when I think I can, I fall short in the end So why do I even try, Will it matter when I die, Can anyone hear my cry? AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE TAKE IT DAY BY DAY MY WILL IS WEAK AND MY FLESH TOO STRONG THIS PEACE I SEEK TILL THY KINGDOM COMES

Tell me, Jesus, are you angry? One more sheep has, just gone astray A hardening of hearts, turning to stone Wandering off, so far from home So many children, losing time Walk in darkness, looking for a sign Chasing their rainbows, the future looks so bright Slowly we're losing, Sight of the light WHO CARES? WHO CARES? WHO CARES? TELL ME WHO CARES? WHO CARES? All alone, out in the cold Can't look back, am I growing old I chose a path, is this my fate Am I finding out, the truth too late CHORUS Here I am, a naked man Nothing to hide with empty hands Remember me, I am the one Who lost his way, your Prodigal Son WHO CARES? WHO CARES? WHO CARES? TELL ME WHO CARES? WHO CARES? AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME SAY ONE THING THEN I DO THE OTHER SAME OLD SONG GOES ON FOREVER RISE, RISE 'N SHINE A NEW DAY IS COMING YES IT IS!

Tell me jesus
are you angry?
one more sheep has
just gone astray
a hardening of hearts
turning to stone
wandering off
so far from home
so many children
losing time
walk in darkness
looking for a sign
chasing their rainbows
the future looks bright
slowly we're losing
sight of the light

who cares?
who cares?
who cares?
tell me who cares?
who cares?

all alone
out in the cold
can't look back
am I growing old
I chose a path
is this my fate
Am I finding out
the truth too late

CHORUS

Here I am
a naked man
nothing to hide
with empty hands
remember me
I am the one
who lost his way
your prodigal son

who cares?
who cares?
who cares?
tell me who cares?
who cares?

Am I ever gonna hange
will I always stay the same
say one thing
then I do the other
goes on forever
rise rise'n shine
A new day is coming
yes it is!

dawn wakes the silence
of a fainted lullaby
day breaks the eyelid
from a song sung in my eye
night rests in peace
as the sun mourns the sky
all's accounted for sheep
over a horizon's I

rise rise'n shine
a new day coming
rise rise in time
for everything under the sun

and when you see
a south wind blow
forecasting you will know
a hot day will be on the way
(foolish one)
you analyze
the earth and the sky
I ask you why
you con't analyze the signs
of the present time

I had a dream
not unlike the one from old
of a man king
whose head was made of gold
stand castles of sand
weather the sundials rise'n fall
chasing wind through your hands
til water runs dry the well

dream daniel dream
for what's yet to come
see daniel see
for everything under the sun

and in the west
a cloud appears
for shadows of
a coming shower near
oh so near
(hypocrites)
you con't analyze the signs
of the present time

vanity
yes all is vanity
vanity
yes all's futility
for one that dies
another's born
where laugher's heard
comforiers moun
there's a time to everything

a fong for love
even abhor
an olive branch
or winter's war
there's a time for
everything under the sun

little lamb come out of the rain
you'll catch your death in the cold
a helping had to come ease the pain
in peace you'll rest in our fold

I can be a watch towering light
for those of you who can't see
I'll separate the truth from the lies
blind faithful come follow me

evilangelist your name is on my list
I'm your evilangelist in what god you trust

close your eyes while I hypnotize
a friend in need to confess
you've been denied the cock crowed thrice
surrender all you possess

evilangelist your name is on my list
I'm your evilangelist I was betrayed by a kiss

so many claim to come in thy name
promising peace they'll bring
lest ye taste the fruit of the vine
they're just wolves in sheep's clothing

Prentending to act so serene
On your so called submissive knees
A shopping list of begging pleas
Adds to your complacencies

As soon as the sun don't shine your way
And you're saving it all up that rainy day
It's a matter of time before you get down 'n' pray

Fair weather faith - protect me from the storm
Fair weather faith - gonna right all my wrongs
Fair weather faith - you know i'm doing alright
Fair weather faith - out of mind, out of sight

Well I wonder if the man upstairs
Will bother to lend an ear
If you took the time to share
Another one of your puppet prayers

I ain't talkin' 'bout the weather

In a word to the wisdom tooth
To tell, or not the truth (yeah)
So open up and say ahh-men
Rinse cup, and spit again

Forked tongue in double speak
Pretty soon you just might
Spring a leak
Inhale before you begin
Your iron lung's a bag of wind

There's a fire in the hole
Fire in the hole
There's a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
Fire

Sweet 'n' sour, filiblister
Faucet pouring, fresh 'n' bitter
Come on smile and say cheese
On a count of three
Ya got a mindful of decavities
Hey!

Chew your words, lest you choke
You better watch your mouth
Wash it out with soap. Yeah!
Tongue tied in a tangled web
Your bile inside better left unsaid

There's a fire in the hole
Fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
There's a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
Fire!
Ah, shoot it!

(Guitar Solo)

Hey-hey-yeah!
Huh!
Yeah!
Hey-hey-yeah!

(hey hey hey hey hey)
There's a fire in the hole
Fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
There's a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
Fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)

There's a fire, fire, fire
A fire!

Rudder of ship, which sets the course
Does not the bit, bridle the horse
Great is the forest, set by a small flame
Like a tongue on fire, no one can tame

Flesh 'N' Blood
A human fascination
Acquired the taste
Right on my face
Naughty
Lost in lust
A hopeless situation
Let the game begin
I'm shirts you're skins
Naughty

These hunger pains
Growing inside me every day
I feel it in my veins
Burning inside me every day

*I wanna eat your body
Eat your body
Naughty, Naughty
Naughty
Talkin' 'bout your body
Flesh, blood
I think I'm in love
Naughty, Naughty
Naughty
Eating up your body

Driving down
A sticky occupation
I need another shot
Of some food for thought
Naughty

These hunger pains
Growing inside me every day
I feel it in my veins
Burning inside me every day

*Repeat

Everybody's got a need
Everybody's got to feed
On everybody else's body
Everybody's got a need
Everybody's got to feed
On everybody

Being no sign of weakness
Gently placing the flower in the gun
Well intended pacifism a naive idealism
Singing his favourite Lennon song
Bleeding heart insisting preach
The path of least resisting
Milk and honey rolling off of his tongue
War is not he answer turn the other cheek
And offer sacrificing on the altar of love

Peace in appeasing

Never needed to weather the storm
Betting on your better angels
Ignoring human nature in truth
Red tooth and in claw
Lion and lamb lay
In your land of make pretend
Forgetting every soldier and son
Lest you care
To measure all the blood
And the treasure
Must be something worth
Fighting for. No?
Is it worth fighting for?

From Afar

If I cannot see you from afar
Look into your eyes, that hint of depth
Hidden inside
If I cannot hear you from afar
Whisper in my ear, rest assured that
You are near

And I know not what it's like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
Just to love you
From afar

If I cannot kiss you from afar
Press against your lips, taste the sweetness
Of your breath

If I cannot touch you from afar
Hold you in my arms, keep you warm and
Safe from harm

Though our circumstances
Cause separation
In the absence, there's a presence in my heart
I will surrender, I'll surrender to my
Quiet contemplation
My quiet contemplation
I'll just, I'll just love you
From afar

There must be a better way (ooo-oooh)
A better way (ooo-oooh) of, of passing the time
I can't seem to get her out
Out of my
Get her out of my mind

(Guitar Solo)

I don't know what it's like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination

Just to love you
Just to love you
Just to love you
Yeah!

If I cannot see you from afar
Look into your eyes, that hint of depth
Hidden inside

If I cannot hear you from afar
Whisper in my ear, rest assured that
You are near

Dancing to the decadence dance

Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast, past this place
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should cry before they lay me down

Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head

Shelter from the storm when I sleep
There's comfort in the morn, a siren sings
If only for a moment, I can breathe
The thought of you comes crashing through on me

Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Ghost you're in my head

Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast past has played
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should die before I lay me down

I'm sorry for the way, the way I treated you
A little bit too late, but if you only knew
I'd take away the pain, pain I put you through
I'd do it all again walking in your shoes

There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Ghost you're in my head

Ah, look at all
the lonely people,
losing faith,
in a world
full of despair,
no one who cares,
wondering where
GOD disappeared

I, see the pain
in everybody's faces
asking why,
the GOD up in the sky,
didn't say goodbye,
please tell me,
GOD didn't die

PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T
I WANT TO KNOW
IF HE'S
TELL ME
GOD ISN'T
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
I WANT TO KNOW

Life's ambition occupies my time
Priorities confuse the mind
Happiness one step behind
This inner peace I've yet to find

Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind why can't I see
That a circle can't fit
Where a square should be

There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do

Hole hearted
Hole hearted

This heart of stone is where I hide
These feet of clay kept warm inside
Day by day less satisfied
Not fade away before I die

That a circle can't fit

There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
Should have known from the start
I'd fall short with the things I do

Are you ever so silent, when she wanted to talk?
Or couldn't keep quiet, when she needed a hug
Come on too strong, when a little's too much
How many, how many, say I

Go on and say yes, and really mean no
Would you rather guess, when you just don't know
And then say I love you, but aren't willing to show
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I

How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I

Say live and let live, so quick to judge
Slow to forgive, when you're holding a grudge
Don't always believe, all you need is love
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I

How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I

(String Solo)

Have you ever looked down when the homeless walked by?
Or changed the channel when you saw a hungry child?
Know something to be true, then deny it
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I

How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I

Everbody was born in it
Shure as hell gonna die in it
Some people don't give a shit
Whether or not they're full of it
It's on my mind most of the time
That's when you find we all go blind
Then it will start to get in our hearts
It's gone too far, that's who we are
It's a monster
We all have within us
It's a monster
It's a monster
Turns us into sinners
It's a monster
It started when I played with it
It turned into a habit
And after that once you've been bit
You can't seem to get rid of it
It's on my mind most of the time
That's when you find we all go blind
Then it will start to get in our hearts
It's gone too far, that's who we are
It's a monster
We all have within us
It's a monster
It's a monster
Turns us into sinners
It's a monster

Josephina, there's so much I want to know
I've known you for all of mine
But not all of yours
You're not a stranger
No, nothing could be further
I look back and I wonder
What you were like, long before

Josephina, if I asked you, would you tell me?
The fact from the fancy
And the dreams in between
Tell me a story
All about yours truly
Photographs from the past
Imagine the mystery

Didja get your head lost in a daydream?
Cinderella, waiting for her charming
Did ya break a heart, like little girls often do?
Pigtails and painted toes
All dressed up in your mother's clothes
Can you shine the light?
Ah, can you shine the light?
Oh, please can you shine some light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?
Shine the light on a shadow

Josephina, would you lay down your defenses?
So i can make sense of
Those colors fading to grey
It's not that you're hiding
Something, I'd never imply
Yesteryear I may be gone
Can't say the same for today

Yeah, Josephina!

(Guitar Solo)

Ah, Josephina!

How else am I to know, that all the while
There was a mischievous look, behind that smile?
It's hard to tell, when innocence comes and goes
I'm sure that there were times, life could be unkind
Without a shoulder to cry on
Can you shine the light?
Ah, can you shine the light?
Yeah, please can you shine some light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?
Shine the light on a shadow

(Ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)

Let me introduce you to my time machine
See my suped up bird spread her golden wings
Going back in black through my neighbourhood
My main street middle class Hollywood

Jenny's all jet-set Purple Rain cassette
Looking like she was the queen of the 80's
And if I knew back then what I know right now
Yeah you know I'd be the king of the ladies

If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes

Just an average Joe making minimum wage
Burger flipping on the beach
Instead of hitting the wave
When the girls walk by with their copper tone tan
Sucker punching the clocks, stop working for the man
Well there aint no cure for the summertime blues
Oh Candy, oh would you save me?

And if I knew back then what I know right now
Yeah you know I'd be the king of the ladies

If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes

I walked up to the dance in the High school gym
This girl with drop-dead legs, I'm moving in
You know must have been the DJ spinning Billy Jean
I tapped Nikki on the shoulder told dance with me
It's like that scene from Grease
The way we bumped to the beat
I had the girl give me the slip
She got away from me

Coz if I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd have the pick of the ladies

If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes

As stories go,
This one's been told
Another heart broken,
Left out in the cold
With one variation,
The difference this time,
This one is mine,
Since you've been gone
You've stolen my heart
As for the rest of me
I've fallen apart
In my desperation
My only prayer
Handle with care

Cos I don't know
What to do
Wasting my time,
Wandering through
Wondering why
What's it all worth
My last hour on earth
My last hour

So in the end
You were the one
Something so right
Could never be wrong
Without hesitation
I'll tell you the truth
I'm still waiting for you

Cos I don't know
What to do
Wasting my time,
Wandering through
Wondering why
What's it all worth
My last hour on earth
My last hour

Cos I don't know
What to do
Wasting my time,
Wandering through
Wondering why
What's it all worth
It's worth everything
Yeah my everything is you
It's worth everything
Yeah my everything is you
It's worth everything
Yeah my everything

Don't want to fall in love
Don't want to fall in love again
And you don't know where I've been
Don't want to fall in love again

I will not fall,
Is it a matter of love, or a matter of pride?
Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy

So if you want my love tell me now
And if you need my love I'll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn to love again

Better to love and lose than never ever love at all?
So tell me something new, tell me why do fools fall?
Tell me why, yeah why do they fall?
Ain't a matter of love, it's a matter of pride

Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy

So if you want my love tell me now
And if you need my love I'll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn to love again

I should have known it all along
I should have know that I...

Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy

So if you want my love tell me now
And if you need my love I'll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn to love again

So if you want my love no need to ask
And if you need my love forget the past
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn how to love again

as for this song
i'll set the mood
there's nothing wrong
prefer solitude
alone to think
of what i don't know
the deeper i sink
the further i'll go

nothing to fear
no need to hide
i'm already there
came in from outside
safe in my nest
home sweet home
no invited guests
i want to be alone

leave me alone
leave me alone
i wish you would
leave me alone
leave me alone
i just want to be alone

it's better this way
no one will get hurt
if you stay away
i won't lose my shirt
if i have become
too defensive
i'm not the one
you have to live with

chorus

i want to be, i want to be
i want to be, alone

don't feel sorry
it's not your concern
only the lonely
are the ones who get burned
safe in my nest
home sweet home
no invited guests
i want to be alone

Mother Goose
Never should haver ever let that Jack get loose
But that little boy blue
Keeps messing all the things he gets his hands into

Now look what you've done
Stuck in your thumb, pulled out a plum

Mama says, "Boys will be boys"
That's Li'l Jack Horny
Mama says "Boys will be boys"
That's Li'l Jack Horny

Jack and Jill
Went up and down and up and fooled around the hill
Now only time will tell
How late the rabbit will arrive in wonderland

Now look what you've done
Stuck in your thumb, pulled out a plum

Mama says, "Boys will be boys"
That's Li'l Jack Horny
Daddy says "Don't need no birth control"
That's Li'l Jack Horny

It's not fair what
They put me through
Please tell me what
Am I supposed to do
Why do I get myself
In this situation
There must be some
Logical answers why
I rob the cradle
Can this be love
Or just infactuation

Too young for me

As you feel (As you feel)
Yeah, I might be crazy
'Cause I like them so young
(Little Girls)
But with little girls
The best is yet to come
Come (Yet to come)

Some they say
I'm too old for her
Old enough
To be her father
Incestual blood is
Thicker than water
Do what's right
Not morally wrong
Flesh and blood
Can only be so strong
And it's my God
Not yours
I'll have to answer

It's not fair what they put me through
Please tell me what am I supposed to do
Why do I get myself in this situation

There must be some logical
Answers why I rob the cradle
Can this be love or just infatuation

Saying I love you is not the words
I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
not to say but if you only knew
how easy it
It would be to show me how you feel
More than words
is all you have to do to make it real
then you wouldn't have to say
that you love me coz I'd aready know
What would you do
if my heart was torn in two
more than words show you feel
that your love for me is real
What would you say
if I took those words away
then you couldn't make things new
just by saying I love you

more than words

Now that I've try to
talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is
close your eyes
and just reach out your hand
and touch me
hold me close don't ever let me go

is all I ever needed you to show
then you wouldn't have to say
that you love me coz I'd already know
