Hootie & The Blowfish

I don't care about your man's reputation.
I don't care what you say about him.
All I know is you're some kind of woman,
and, it won't be tonight,
but, girl, you're gonna give in.
Go and give him his walking papers.
Tell him things that he never knew.
Don't you hear what your new man's saying, girl?
Don't you know what you've got to do now?
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
You can't say that you don't think about me late at night, lying in your bed.
Stirring the soup
and you start to think about the times that we had
and the times that I said now.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
I don't care about your man's reputation.
I don't care what your man's gonna do.
You can tell that you're gonna come running, baby.
I can tell that you're gonna come soon.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him, nah, you can't see him again. (You can't see him right now)
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
I said, go and tell him that you are gone.
Go, you can tell.
Go and tell him girl.
Let him know you're coming home with me tonight.
Oh, oh, oh.

Las Vegas nights
Have been calling
But I wait to see her float down stairs


There she stands with her eyes full and yearning
I look
And I know gotta be there


Is there another chance
To bring her closer
Make her feel I know we could be happy again


Is there another chance
To bring her flowers
So she will only whisper my name


A chance to make things right for her
And make my lies seem true
I'm begging Do


Don't go down to the station
Somehow we won't live that long
Don't go now, desert flower
Cause you just won't bloom
And your memories made need more room


See that mirror there
Will she look inside
To see the one I fear standing alone


And on my phonograph
Will she put them in
The songs that only remind her of me


A chance to make things right for her
And make my life seem true
I'm begging Do


CHORUS

I step outside The Joint
To clouds of guilt and fear
And there are shades of red dancing in view

Las Vegas nights
Make me wonder
How much longer I will be a fool

A chance to make things right for her
Make my lies seem true
I'm begging Do

CHORUS

Do you see heaven
Like I do
Or is it just me
Wanting you

Tonight I'm special
Like no one else
I hope you need me
For yourself

Does it make you happy
To be so free
The times we shared
You loving me

And as you leave
And walk away
Your eyes they tell me
Someday you'll stay

What's going on here
What must we fear
To live in this fantasyland in your mind
Who'll carry the load
For dreams left untold
Can you live in this world all mine

I would walk this journey
To say goodbye
To have you close would
Make me high

All the good things
That made you see
It was the strong thing
Being with me

Just look high above
And you'll see where we should be
And if tomorrow makes
If tomorrow breaks us

Then you stand still and I'll
Show you me

Like you never knew
Or is it just me
Wanting you
So as you leave
And walk away
I knew you'd come back
Now let's play

Mama please don't go
Won't you stay here for one more day
I've been your boy for so long now
There's so much I still have to say

Sky rips open, and I hold my heart in my hand
Like a soldier on his very last day
Cried myself to sleep that night, and I listened
As I heard the angels sing

Chorus:
Sha la la la Sha la la la, I'm going home
Sha la la la Sha la la la, I'm going home

Something inside makes me scream
How could God take you from a little boy
He'll be alright, he's by my side
He's no little boy, he's my pride and joy

[repeat chorus]

Summer on the radio and the phone rings
And it was Jeanette
She said boy we had to let her go
I begged her no, no not yet

You left six of us to fend for ourselves
I guess it's part of someone's master plan
I see you laughing, you're my best friend
You're the light of the lamb, and I cried
as the angels sing

[repeat chorus twice]

I fall in she sees me and smiles
Then she starts to hate herself again
She screams something under her breath
That I wouldn’t know if she said it outloud

She turns over to start a conversation
With a man that noone else can see
She dreams of loving me sometimes
And it makes me see what we’ve been missing

It’s like I never knew anyone so strong before
She Brings the man outa me
And she makes me see that they don’t matter

I believe
We see her playin’ with another
She runs around you and then
It’s like the sun goes down and she crawls away again

She wears white pants a Miami sweater
Says that She loves the O’s
So Uncle Dean will come by

Her smile is like sunshine
Her tears hurt like leather
She runs the show she lets me know
Says it’s all about being the only
It’s like someone said you could have one good thing in your life
She couldn’t be your type
I didn’t plan for your smile, but you make me laugh when you stand dreamin’

I believe, we see her layin with another
She runs around you and then
It’s like the sun goes down and she crawls away again

Where were you yesterday
Now that my heart is wild and free
And my lips have room to wander
How can I say your needing me now
When I’ve got a plan
I know you don’t understand why my heart is sorry know

I believe
We see her laying with another
She runs around you and then
it’s like the sun goes down and she crawls
I believe
We see her waiting with another
She runs around you and then
it’s like the sun goes down and she crawls away again

Every time I look at you, I go blind.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
In the mornin' I get up, and I try to
Feel alive, but I can't.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I don't know what it is.
Something in me just won't give me a chance.

I think it's that I feel more confused
By the deal love has shown me.
Little child, did you know that there's a light,
And it's gonna shine right through your eyes.
What do you think that life is like?
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I go blind
Well some where over there there's a purpose,
There's a care for free
In me there's no body, no one plan,
No one stand to be free.

I think it's that because I have seen all the fuss
And it's no big deal. No big deal.

*Hold me, hold me 'cause I want to get higher and higher,
Every time I look at you, I go blind.

*repeat

Higher than life.

(Led Zeppelin)

Wanna tell you 'bout the girl I love
My she looks so fine
She's the only one that I been dreamin' of
Maybe someday she will be all mine
I wanna tell her that I love her so
I thrill with her every touch
I need to tell her she's the only one I really love

(Chorus)
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman; she won't be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true

Sunday morning when we go down to church
See the menfolk standin' in line
I said they come to pray to the Lord
With my little girl, looks so fine
In the evening when the sun is sinkin ' low
Everybody's with the one they love
I walk the town
Keep a-searchin' all around:
Lookin' for my street corner girl

Chorus

In the bars, with the men who play guitars
Singin', Drinkin' and rememberin' the times
My little lover does a midnight shift
She followed around all the time
I guess there's just one thing a -left for me to do
Gonna pack my bags and move on my way
Cause I got a worried mind
Sharin' what I thought was mine
Gonna leave her where the guitars play

I got a woman, she won't be true, no no
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I got a little woman and she won't be true

(Hey, hey what can I do)

I said she won't be true

(Hey, hey what can I say)

Hey, hey, what can I do
I got a woman she won't be true
Lord, hear what I say
I got a woman, wanna ball all day.

You've got your big girls
Now you have your young one too
Wonder if someday I can have them
The way I once had you
I remember your crazy remarks
We'd get drunk and go out after dark
Searching for someone we could take home
You don't wanna be alone
You don't wanna see the sun go down
You don't wanna open the door
And see her go
One step then tomorrow comes
Here's tomorrow
Two steps and she's off with someone
There she goes
Three steps and it's all you know
You'll be home, she'll be gone
You'll be home, she'll be gone
So what are you gonna do about me?
I'll be there when you have no one else
Spotted the ocean in the south's holy land
I'll be there, be your friend
Hold on strong, don't let go
There'll never be no one to take your place
So don't you wanna reach out and take my hand?
You don't wanna be alone
No, No, No
You don't wanna see the sun go down
You don't wanna open the door
And see her go
One step then tomorrow comes
Here's tomorrow
Two steps and she's off with someone
There she goes
Three steps and it's all you know
Oh, you know, You'll be home, she'll be...
You'll be home, she'll be gone
...She'll be gone, yeah
You don't wanna be alone
No, No, No
You don't wanna see the sun go down
See the sun go down
You don't wanna open the door
Open the door
See her go, see her gone, no, no
One step then tomorrow comes
Here's tomorrow
Two steps and she's off with someone
There she goes
Three steps and it's all you know
You'll be home, she'll be gone
You'll be home, she'll be gone
One step and tomorrow comes
Here's tomorrow
Two steps and she's off with someone
There she goes
Three steps and it's all you know
You'll be home, she'll be gone
You'll be home, she'll be gone

With a little love, and some tenderness
We'll walk upon the water
We'll rise above this mess
With a little peace, and some harmony
We'll take the world together
We'll take 'em by the hand

'Cause I've got a hand for you
'Cause I wanna run with you

Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red
No comb had touched your hair
I said get up, and let me see you smile
We'll take a walk together
Walk the road awhile, 'cause

'Cause I've got a hand for you
I've got a hand for you
'Cause I wanna run with you
Won't you let me run with you? yeah

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I'll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can

See I was wasted, and I was wasting time
'Till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes
Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud
I don't wanna be part of your problems
Don't wanna be part of your crowd, no

'Cause I've got a hand for you
I've got a hand for you
'Cause I wanna run with you
Ah, won't you let me run with you?

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we can't change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I'll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I...Oh...No, No, No, No, No

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we can't change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, best that I can
Oh, The best that I can

She sits alone by a lampost
trying to find a thought
that's escaped her mind
She says Dad's the one
I love the most
but Stipe's not far behind
She never lets me in
only tells me where she's been
when she's had too much to drink
I say that I don't care
I just run my hands
through her dark hair
then I pray to God
you gotta help me fly away
And just
Let her cry
if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing
if it eases all her pain
Let her go
let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be
let her be

This morning I woke up alone
found a note standin by the phone
saying baby maybe
I'll be back some day
I wanted to look for you
You walked in I didn't know
just what I should do
so I sat back down and had a beer
and felt sorry for myself
Sayin
Let her cry
if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing
if it eases all her pain
Let her go
let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be
let her be

Let her cry
if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing
if it eases all her pain
Let her go
let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her ben www

Last night I tried to leave
cried so much I could not believe
she was the same girl
I fell in love
with long ago
She went in the back to get high
I sat down on my couch and cried
yellin
Oh mama please help me
Won't you hold my hand
And
Let her cry
if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing
if it eases all her pain
Let her go
let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be
Let her cry
if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing
if it eases all her pain
Let her go
let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be
let her be

You and me
We come from different worlds
You like to laugh at me
When I look at other girls

Sometimes you?re crazy
And you wonder why
I?m such a baby
Cause the Dolphins make me cry

Chorus:
Well there?s nothing I can do
I only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
Only wanna be with you

Put on a little Dylan
sitting on a fence
I say that line is great
You ask me what I meant by
?Said I shot a man named Gray
Took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks
And when she died it came to me
I can?t help it if I?m lucky?br />
Only wanna be with you
Ain?t Bobby so cool
Only wanna be with you

(Solo)

Yeah I?m tangled up in blue
Only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
Only wanna be with you

Sometimes I wonder
If it will ever end
You get so mad at me
When I go out with my friends
Sometimes you?re crazy
And you wonder why
I?m such a baby yeah
The Dolphins make me cry

Well there?s nothing I can do
Only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
Only wanna be with you
Yeah I?m tangled up in blue
Only wanna be with you

Don?t look a gift horse in the mouth
Come on try and tell me what you?re talkin about
Those things you?re dealing with, you?re living a lie
Every time I see you it makes me wanna cry

Sometimes we?d laugh and talk, seems like yesterday
Then you let the white horse come and take you away
They came to get you, it was cold and black
The wheels were in motion, there was no turning back

Chorus:
Running from and angel, runnin to the devil

I looked up to you a long time ago
But there?s something I want you to know
Your lying and cheating really tore us apart
Please don?t come home if you?re gonna break my momma?s heart

Trouble with the world is we're too busy to think about it, all right
Why is there a rebel flag hanging from the state house walls?
Tired of hearin' this shit about heritage not hate
Time to make the world a better place

Why must we hate one another?
Well no matter what we gotta live together
Just that you don't look like me, tell me what do you see
When we pass on the street what do you wanna see

P.E.'s coming is all I gotta say
Wanna turn and run away
They're just telling you how they see it
Right or wrong they don't care, you wish that they would quit

chorus:
Drowning in a sea of tears
Hatred trying to hide your fears
Living only for yourself
Hating everybody else
Cause they don't look like you

Nanci singing it's a hard life wherever you go
About some fat racist living in Chicago
Trying to teach his kids to hate everyone
Well tell me why is that something you wanna teach your son?

Why must we hate one another?
When the people in the church, they tell me you're my brother
You don't walk like me, ... you don't talk like me, saying
Go back to Africa, I just don't understand

(chorus)

I'm trying to be someone that he could look up to, but
When I walk down the street, tell me what do you see
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man
No I'm not like you
Why do you hate me so
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Hating everybody else cause they don't look like you

Time, why you punish me?
Like a wave bashing into the shore
You wash away my dreams.

Time, why you walk away?
Like a friend with somewhere to go
You left me crying

Can you teach me about tommorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time

Time, I don't understand
Children killing in the street
Dying for the color of red
Time, hey there red and blue
Wash them in the ocean, make them clean,
Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight

Can you teach me about tomorrow
All the pain and sorrow
Running free?
But tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in...

chorus:

Time is wasting
Time is walking
You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where i'm goin'
I think I'm out of my mind
Thinking about time

And if I die tomorrow, yeah
Just lay me down in sleep

(chorus)

Time, you left me standing there
Like a tree growing all alone
The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare
Time, the past has come and gone
The future's far away
Now only lasts for one second, one second
Can you teach me about tomorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
'Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time

(chorus)

Time, why you punish me

Saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheeks told me something was wrong
I asked her what it was
She looked away and said
My daddy's home
I knew what that meant
It meant that I can never see you again
I had seen this once before
I didn't wanna deal with it anymore
Look away she said as she turned away from me
And I tried to hold her
Couldn't let her be
Let her be let her be I said
Why, why do you make me cry
She said I love you so
Look away, I don't wanna know
I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something's wrong
I said what baby
She looked away and said
My daddy's home
Look away she said as she turned away, my God I know I loved her
Couldn't let her be
Let her be, let her be
Look away Look away
She said I love you so Look away

Alone as I sit and watch the trees
Won't you tell me if I scream will they bend down and listen to me
And it makes me wonder if I know the words will you come
Or will you laugh at me
Or will I run

Little boy says to me,
"Where you goin' now son"
I said, "I don't know where I'm goin' boy
I only know where I'm from"
And it makes me wonder
If the stars shine when my eyes close
Or does my brothers heart cry
I don't know

I'm a stranger in my home
Now that everybody's gone
Someone please talk to me
Cause I feel you cry
And you're sitting with him
And I know I'll never see you again

Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky
You see I'm tired of feeling this pain
I'm tired of living my own little lie
And it makes me wonder
When I see you in my dreams
Does it mean anything
Are you trying to talk to me

I'm a stranger in my home
Tell me are you feeling alone
Someone tell me what to do
'Cause I'm feeling strong
And I wonder how you feel
Do you realize my pain is for real
I see you in my dreams
And I wonder if you're looking down at me
And smiling right now
I wanna know if it's true
When he looks at me
Won't you tell me
Does he realize he came down here
And he took you too soon

And now my days are short an my nights are long
I lay down with memories of you keep that keep me going on, going on
It makes me wonder as I sit and stare
Will I see your face again
Tell me, do you care
I'm a stranger in my home
Living life on my own
Right now I just can't see
'Cause i'm feeling weak
And my sould begins to bleed
And no one is listening to me, not even the trees

Tomorrow used to be a day away
Now love is gone and you're into someone far away
I never thought the day would come
When I would see his hand not mine
Holding on to yours because I could not find the time
And now I can't deny
Nothing lasts forever
But I don't wanna leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
I don't wanna live to see the day you say goodbye
Now there comes another part of life I go alone...
Sitting at a bar with Chris that I can't leave
Cause my house ain't no home
I just wanna touch you girl
I wanna feel you close to me
Without your love I would give up now and walk away so easily
So maybe while we're young we'll figure out together
That even with the pain there's a remedy
We'll be all right
I don't wanna live to see the day you say goodbye
When I first met you I couldn't love anyone
But you stole my dreams and you made me see
That I can walk into the sun and I could still be me
And now I can't deny
Nothing lasts forever
But I don't wanna leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
So baby why break up
Lets figure out together
That even with the pain there's a remedy
And we'll be alright
I don't wanna live to see the day you say goodbye
We say goodbye
Oh goodbye
Goodbye

I wonder
Why are we involved
With the seasons
And the living of our own
Let me see if nothing's wrong
I just want to be the one
She wanted
You still give her all our lives
Let her be son
Who is she buying
See her crawl
I'll just make it out
(We don't see it bleeding)
I want to die with you
(Something no ones needin)
I left the other day
But you're never here
You only listen to things you want to say
But the power it's ok with you
You knew I'd find something else to do
Let me be the one
(we don't see it bleeding)
I wanna fly, I wanna die with you
Something no ones
See it's not like they
Are gonna take my faith away
Let me in it's ok now
Close the door
Is it really needing
When you find a place
That's only yours
Just go he beams
Well I've died for good now
Let me feel it
Let her come---let her run---let her run
(Now)
Let me be the one
(We don't see it bleeding)
I can't feel it, I can't see it
(Something no ones needing)
I feel dumb dumb dumb

Staring back at you
Did you see my lips
Or were you smiling right in front of me
Your father called my name
Then he smiled with great relief
'Cause it wasn't me that you were clinging to
He made you turn around
You do that thing you do
And then you laughed with me
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' the time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but she's watching me leave
Just wish they'd turn around
Just wish they'd try to see
But they don't understand and that's alright with me I'm leaving now
Going down to Tucker's Town
Where I can lie for free
Nobody stares at me and I'd love to hurt the population
She called last night
I said I'm about to leave
Then I heard him scream, "I'll pack your bags"
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' the time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm leaving here
To see the world through your Rosy glasses
I'll teach you to fly but they teach greed
We live the belt but I can bleed
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know
What I can't see

It's so hard to breathe right now
Living things without a friend of mine
Air just filling every bit of every end of every mind
You thought you could feel
And it's maybe 6 a.m.
And no one wants to be with me
So I'm calling out to someone and something that I don't know so well
Ohh I'm free
If I can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friends and we'll see our troubles away
You make me feel so strange
Won't you let me breathe the air
I want to hold on to right now
Won't you let me read a book about
Someone's queen who came back for me
I see bridges in my eyes
I see mornings left for the children
I see people holding back, trying to find another reason so they can
walk away
And it makes me scream and I pray
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friends and I'll see our troubles away
You make me feel so
It can never end 'cause we don't speak
It will never just die
So why don't you call the man
And, tell him to come over here and just clean up my pride
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friend and we'll see our little troubles away
You make me feel so strange
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friend and we'll see our troubles away

Well an old man said to me
In a voice filled with pain
Where you going young man
Said I'm going to fight a war
Gonna fight for my country
In some foreign land
He said "The sun will never hurt you
Never harmed anyone
But you must realize
If you try to stare her down
She will win in the end
She will burn your eyes
She will burn them
Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get to Heaven
He said "Boy I was young once
Yeah I was tough
Sailing on Uncle Sam's boat
Hey I could kill the enemy
I could die on foreign streets
But I could not vote
But now you walk by me
You won't talk to me
Say this is my fate
But every time you walk the streets boy
Most of them you meet
You see it's you they hate
It's you...
Seen a million faces
Seen a million places die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get to Heaven
I hope I get there
Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get there
See this woman sitting next to me
She's been there for a long, long time
And when I fell, she picked me up
When I cried, she wiped my tears
I thank god she's mine
And when I leave this world
She won't have anything
But her love for me
'Cause the man took everything else
Made me hate myself
So just let her be boy
Won't you let her be

Soni sing the Fairweather Johnson song...)
I like the Stealers in '75
I only like the Broncos when they come alive
I liked the Redskins in '83
There when the Dolphins are playin' well yeah
Well they're the team for me.
'Cause I'm Fairweather Johnson (Johnson)
Yeah yes I'm Fairweather Johnson
(Johnson I like the Braves in '95)
(I like the Braves in '95

Fly inside
Feel me dealing
Holding on to a story just told
About a man who's the life of a funeral
Grabbing on to a woman who's soul
He just stole for a dream he don't believe in
Now she sits and she yells for a smile
"Don't let the sun make me feel lonely"
Oh let me in let me in let me in
Is it me
Or is it honey
We all seem to hold
To Something we don't see
Is He here
Is He there
Where does He live
Some people say in the pull of a heartbeat
Some people say in the mind of a stranger
I can't explain what it is I believe in
So take your heart take your mind and escape
Is it me
Or is it honey
Is it me
Or is it honey
Is it me trying to raise your little children
Is it me trying to take your little flame
Why are you trying to steal my judgement day away
Let me scream let me scream let me scream
Don't take it away
Another day in the arms of the real thing
Another day in the eyes of a fool
I called today just to make me feel hopeless
Lie to me and I'll try to believe

Could we do it again
If he asked how it felt
And I didn't say this time
You tried to scare me with empty thoughts
That means not a thing
'Cause I'm down behind you
Could we swing it again
If I changed how he looked
And turned to the right to bend
You live with something that I can't explain
But your face cracks a smile when you see it shining
You feel things in your own way
And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you
I'm tired of bailing hay for something that I can't see
I don't want to be you
You don't want to be me.
Just let it breathe
If the moon goes up tomorrow and I'm down on a farm
And you don't believe whose writing with me
Keep your hands to yourself
Keep your mind to yourself
Keep your breath to yourself
Let me float on by you
You see things in your own way
And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you
I'm tired of bailing hay for something that I can't see
You don't want to be me
I don't want to be you
It's so very necessary
It's so delectable to see a stone
It's so impossible to find a reason
When you're standing there
Watching me now
Could we live it again
If we dressed just the same
And held on to lovers when
We couldn't really live with anyone
See mostly ourselves so just go on lying
You feel things in your own way
And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you
I'm tired of bailing hay for someone that I can't see
I don't want to be you
You don't want to be me
Just let it breathe
Let it breathe

One thing's for sure
I just can't find the way
To let it seem like all is wrong
Inside my den
Hold back
Breathe easy
She said to me
Go somewhere and change your mind
Just let me sleep
I've been living in a lesson
Please just come inside and listen
Is it anger at life
Or are you happy to be with me
Are you seeing someone
Or will your faith
Go with no other man
Come on
Let me dream
I've been living in a lesson
Please just come inside and listen
No need to worry 'bout all the lying
Please just come inside
It's a thing
To make me want to go
See another
That makes me doubt
I've been living in a lesson
Please just come inside and listen
No need to worry about all the lyin'
All the changing
Please just come inside
I've been living in a lesson
Please just come inside

Saw you last night
you were sleeping in my mind
Doubting you'll ever be free again
Then I climbed back inside
Someone open my eyes
To find me drunk again
Bonnie on the radio
And she was singing low "Give it up or let me go"
Every night there is one more
Every night there is two more
Saying I shouldn't be feeling this pain
I think I better grow up now or go insane
There's so much I feel
So much I conceal
There's just so many things I can be
Someone write the story of 5 points
No one wanted to know me
Now they all have opinions of what we do
So they go down to Bar None so we can have a drink or two
Can't write a story from the trees
I know somewhere she's watching me
Saying "Boy carry your load"
Oh I don't want to go back on the road now
There's so much I feel
So much I conceal
There's just so many places to see
And faces I can read
There's just so many things I can beEnd of buffer

You put a rose in my hand
Put a dollar in my pocket
But you don't understand
How the days grow longer the sky is black as night
I see the morning but you won't see the light
I thought about you for a long long time
I wrote about you but my words don't seem to rhyme
And now you're lying here
But my heart still beats for you
Had a dream about you
You sat right down beside me
And you told me we were through
It was all so real and you told me reasons why
You brought me to the window
And you taught me how to fly
I thought about you for a long, long time
I said I love you but we just don't have the time
And now you're lying here
But my heart still beats for you
I thought to hold you for a long, long time
You said I love you but my heart won't seem to chime in
And now you're lying here
And my heart still beats for you...I'm trying, and my heart

At least you tried
That's more than anyone around you
And if you lied
Would it fade out of your memory
Wishing it all away from you
Wishing is all you'll ever do
Wish I was here with you
Then I'd be fine
And if you died
Would they gather all around you
And if you cried
Would it wash away your misery
It's worse at night
Spirits flying all around you
Without the light
They can take away your sanity
CHORUS

Every time I look at you, I go blind.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
In the mornin' I get up, and I try to
Feel alive, but I can't.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I don't know what it is.
Something in me just won't give me a chance.
I think it's that I feel more confused
By the deal love has shown me.
Little child, did you know that there's a light,
And it's gonna shine right through your eyes.
What do you think that life is like?
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I go blind
Well some where over there there's a purpose,
There's a care for free
In me there's no body, no one plan,
No one stand to be free.
I think it's that because I have seen all the fuss
And it's no big deal. No big deal.
Hold me, hold me 'cause I want to get higher and higher,
Higher than life

My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff
I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
My brother sits me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through
I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me
You get in a crowd of high-class people and then you act real rude to me
But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough
I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're using me
Causes I sure am using you to do the things you do
Ah ha to do the things you do

I've found a reason to dig deep down.
There's a part of you that I ain't found that's in your deeper side.
Instead of wondering what I should do,
I tried to learn a couple things about you from your deeper side.
Show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)
that I would give most anything to see.
There's a lot of things that I would know
if you would let me climb into your soul and see your deeper side.
Everybody always seems so pure,
then they show you what their heart stands for in their deeper side.
Show me your, yeah. (Show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)
I would give most anything to see.
You think the world has got your number now.
You cry about it but you know somehow it's your deeper side.
I heard you wishing you were someone else
but all that's stopping you from being yourself is your deeper side.
So, show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Please, show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Oh, show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)
I would give most anything, and, I would give most anything.
You would give most anything to see.
Show me your deeper side.

How you gonna say what you can and can't do,
sitting in the crib, parked in front of the tube.
You're mad at the world like she owe you,
What you think opportunity's gonna come looking for you?
Not a damn thing changed.
You're just another football waiting to be tossed in the game.
You're flossing again,
you talk a good game, but you're still trying hard to maintain.
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water.
The world could be yours if you want her,
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Everyday you're out slinging that thing.
No worries or cares of what your mama may say.
Trying to get what you want in your life.
The cars, the clothes, the hos, the ice.
Not a damn thing changed.
You're still another football waiting to be tossed in the game.
You're flossing again,
you talk a good game,
but you're still struggling hard to maintain.
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.
The world could be yours if you want her,
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Little brother, no, a ship can't sail without the water.
The world could be yours if you want her,
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Everything you want could be yours if you were just to try.
All the troubles that you feel will fade away like shooting stars across the sky.
All the dreams I hope you feel soon, someday, shall be fulfilled.
Time is moving rapidly.
Don't let it pass you by, yeah.
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.
The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is yours)
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Little brother, no,
a ship (you know we gotta love one another now) can't sail without the water.
The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is ours)
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.
The world could be yours if you want her (the world is yours),
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Little brother, get it now, a ship can't sail without the water...

What else can I do when the tears have all been wasted?
And the only voice you choose to hear
sings the songs of our hearts breaking.
Say your dreams, they all have changed.
Well, my smiles, they all have faded.
And the thoughts that used to seem so pure in my heart,
they now feel jaded.
Because I wanna feel like I did.
And I wanna feel innocence.
What else can it be except this pride I'm sick of drinking.
Storm clouds all have gone away.
Can we stop this thing from sinking?
Because I wanna feel like I did.
And I wanna feel innocence.
And I want you to know,
and to feel in your soul,
that someone has come and gone.
I'm stuck up here with you.
I never thought we'd get this high.
I used to be afraid of falling.
Now I'll spred my wings and I will fly.
I wanna feel like I did.
And I wanna feel innocence.
I wanna feel like I did.
Oh, and I wanna feel innocence, oh. I...

I see it inside your eyes,
feel it in your soul.
A part of you is moving on,
the other half is gone.
I don't know what you want from me,
no, you lock it all inside.
I try to give you everything,
but there's nothing else that I can hide.
We've been trying so long.
You've been pushing too hard.
You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
When you and I all alone, it feels so damn crowded.
The house we share is not a home when you're inside it.
So, now, I go and grab my things, girl,
I must be moving on.
I couldn't stand to face you,
so I, I guess that's why I wrote this song.
You've been trying so long.
We've been pushing too hard.
You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
Oh, oh, oh, we've been trying so long.
You've been pushing too hard.
You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
You need a little space and I need mine.

Now I see the time we had before
is just a passing moment that we can't share anymore.
And I've learned that written words are not the same
as when you take the time to say it
and let the clouds release the rain.
And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friends.
Yesterday's just something I can't mend.
And I broke down for my lost brother and I've died for mama, too.
Now my tears fall down for you. For you.
And I say one thing each day before I lay me down.
I thank god for your sweet smile although you're not around.
And I can't overcome your memory in my mind.
It's a bridge I'll never cross until the end of time.
And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friend.
But, yesterday's just something I can't mend.
'Cause I've broke down for my lost father and I've cried for sister, too.
Now my tears fall down for you. For you. You.

You always ask for flowers and candy, baby,
never knowing I was your chocolate rose.
You always tell me that you like what I'm wearing,
but you think I look better here without any clothes.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
You play a game of attack and surrender.
Always leaving me halfway there.
Well I've got something that you should remember.
Until you draw blood, baby, nobody cares.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
Sometimes I'd swear you were from Venus, now, oh.
If I didn't already know your type.
You'd rather tell me you're an angel, darling,
then show me by floating gracefully by.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
Get out of my head, oh. And, show me your heart.
Get out, get out, get out of my head.
Yeah, and show me your heart.
Show me your, oh.
Get out of my head. And, show me your heart.

Hello, little darlin'.
Can't see why you're cryin'.
Don't even know why you came by so soon.
And I know that you love me.
Remember that you left me.
Why were you so afraid of the truth?
Now, no, no.
Now, no, no.
Hello, how you doing?
Hope I did not ruin any plans you had to pull me through.
So sit down at my table.
We'll talk about and label all the things you claim to be untrue.
Now, no, no.
Now, no, no. (Ah...)
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how (Ah...) you'll be alright again. (Ah...)
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how (Ah...)we'll be alright again.
Now, I told you right from the start
that I don't want to play the part of being the blame for a brokenhearted fool.
And, now that I don't see you much,
I wish that we had stayed in touch.
I don't know what I would say or what you think I would do.
Now, no, no. Now, no, no. Now, no. Now, no, no. Now, no, no. (Ah...)
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how (Ah...) you'll be alright again.
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how we'll be alright again.

Can you see me there when I'm standing alone?
How did you know I needed you here?
Can you feel the screams from the depth of my soul?
Is that what makes you appear?
See, I often wonder, in the presence of this all,
what we did to become this way.
And, I'll never forget when you whispered to me.
You said, don't worry it'll be ok.
Sometimes the sun calls our names.
And, sometimes we listen.
Sometimes the devil's there, but we just can't go with him.
Can you hear me now when I'm standing this close?
Can I tell you one of my fears?
See, I hope you live to sing when I die,
'cause if you're gone, I don't think I want to be here no more.
'Cause sometimes the sun calls our names.
And, sometimes we listen.
And, sometimes the devil's there,
but we just can't go with him.
Sometimes the sun calls our names, oh, no.
Sometimes we listen.
Sometimes the devil's there,
but we just can't go with him.

I don't care about your man's reputation.
I don't care what you say about him.
All I know is you're some kind of woman,
and, it won't be tonight,
but, girl, you're gonna give in.
Go and give him his walking papers.
Tell him things that he never knew.
Don't you hear what your new man's saying, girl?
Don't you know what you've got to do now?
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
You can't say that you don't think about me late at night, lying in your bed.
Stirring the soup
and you start to think about the times that we had
and the times that I said now.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
I don't care about your man's reputation.
I don't care what your man's gonna do.
You can tell that you're gonna come running, baby.
I can tell that you're gonna come soon.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him, nah, you can't see him again. (You can't see him right now)
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
I said, go and tell him that you are gone.
Go, you can tell.
Go and tell him girl.
Let him know you're coming home with me tonight.
Oh, oh, oh.

Aboard his ship he stops to stare
Needs to smell her, touch her hair
Say's "I can't be without her"
Tonight he's going to be without her

"It's late now", she say's
Wakes her mind up goes to bed
Another night alone without him
Another night alone in Charleston

When I wake to find the solace of
All that we've become
I can't wait to make the promises
I've been leery of
Take me down
Let me see

I'll be there waiting (for you)
In the morning when times have changed
I'll be there through the lies and all
I'll be standing like a soldier for you
You hold your secrets
Through the days when I need to be alone
(I will wait) I will wait for you
Through the rise and fall


She was left behind so they could stay
God to feel him this she prays
It'd make her feel so much better
I want to feel so much better

When I wake to find the solace of
All that we've become
I can't wait to make the promises
I've been leery of
Take me down
Let me see

I'll be there waiting for you
In the morning when times have changed
I'll be there through the lies and all
I'll be standing like a soldier for you
You hold your secrets
Through the days when I need to be alone
(I will wait) I will wait for you
Through the rise and fall

When I wake to find the solace of
all, all we've become
I can't wait to make the promises
That I've been leery of
Take me down
Let me see

I'll,, I'll, I'll be there (waiting for you)
in the morning when times have changed
I'll be there through the lies and all
I'll be standing like a soldier for you
You hold your secrets
Through the days when I need to be alone
I will wait for you
Through the rise and fall

I'll be there
In the morning when times when times have changed
(I will wait) I will wait for you
through the rise and fall

At least you tried
That's more than anyone around you
And if you lied
Would it fade out of your memory

Wishing it all away from you
Wishing is all you'll ever do
Wish I was here with you
Then I'd be fine

And if you died
Would they gather all around you
And if you cried
Would it wash away your misery

It's worse at night
Spirits flying all around you
Without the light
They can take away your sanity

CHORUS

Las Vegas nights
Have been calling
But I wait to see her float down stairs


There she stands with her eyes full and yearning
I look
And I know gotta be there


Is there another chance
To bring her closer
Make her feel I know we could be happy again


Is there another chance
To bring her flowers
So she will only whisper my name


A chance to make things right for her
And make my lies seem true
I'm begging Do


Don't go down to the station
Somehow we won't live that long
Don't go now, desert flower
Cause you just won't bloom
And your memories made need more room


See that mirror there
Will she look inside
To see the one I fear standing alone


And on my phonograph
Will she put them in
The songs that only remind her of me


A chance to make things right for her
And make my life seem true
I'm begging Do


CHORUS

I step outside The Joint
To clouds of guilt and fear
And there are shades of red dancing in view

Las Vegas nights
Make me wonder
How much longer I will be a fool

A chance to make things right for her
Make my lies seem true
I'm begging Do

CHORUS

Only Lonely by Hootie & the Blowfish

"Hello again"
Your words they make me smile
As I drift away
In my little room upstairs

Oh I spend my nights
Imagining your face, your touch
Then I realize
How I don't even know your name

If we could share our time
Would I disappoint your fantasies?
But I believe that I could be the one you're needing
'Cause I'm

Only lonely on the inside
Didn't mean to take away your dreams
I'm only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts

And I could start to give apologies
For all the stupid things That I will say and I
will do
If we should ever cross the same place at the same
time
Would your world skip a beat 'cause it was me?

If we could share our life
Would I disappoint your memories?
And I believe that you could be the one I'm needing
And I'm

Only lonely on the inside
Didn't mean to take away your dreams
I'm only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts

If I could give back your hopes, your joys, your
treasures
Don't you think that I would change my world?
But there's so many things trying to pull us
together
And even though we're far apart I can still watch
you walk away

Only lonely on the inside
Only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes, what do you see?

Only lonely on the inside
Didn't mean to take away your dreams
I'm only lonely on the inside
In your deepest thoughts, what do you see?

Only lonely on the inside
I didn't mean, I didn't mean, to steal your dreams
away
I'm only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes, in your deepest thoughts,
do you see me?

Only lonely on the inside, I'm only lonely when
you're gone
Only lonely on the inside, I see you babe, I see you
Only lonely on the inside, only lonely, only lonely
on the inside
I'm only lonely on the inside

You must retreat now
I just can't talk anymore
Your words make me empty inside
There's nothing left of you

Time seems to change
Thoughts I have for you
Now I'm so alive
But you seem to be
Drowning every minute

I say that's life
You say it's alright

I can't be your answer and
I don't want to follow you
Into your cloud

I am tired of being the one
To live and learn from your mistakes
I'm just so sick of my mind

It sees us like a light
Shining bright
In the middle
Don't you see us smiling now

You say that's life
I say it's alright

CHORUS

Please open your eyes
See where you sleep tonight
I hope you never call it home
But your bound to live bound to die in it
You say that's life
I say I'll still be here

CHORUS

I met a girl just the other day
Stop to talk she had a lot to say
She told me all about her politics
Then she told me something that made me sick


Michele Post knows all about it
But she don't want just to talk about it
She got everything that she believes in
She's got something and she wants let me in

It's almost like
We came back wet
Back from the dead
And I'm thinking of you

We traveled long
We traveled hard
To long to bear
Hard just to come through

And when I stop
I see you there
You make me feel
What more must I do

My revolution is reigning peace
And there is nothing I can see
Is there a reason we should seek

Please let me see
That I can bleed
And I can answer
To all that is true

I stumbled long
And I fell hard
We loved so strong
For all that we knew

Please hear me now
And hold your anger somehow
But why must it be me

My revolution is reigning peace
And there is nothing that I can see
Is there a reason we should seek
When the end is all I see

And when I wake
I sing your song
Somewhere you stir
Cause your wanting me too

Don't listen to
The others answers
Our love is not new

Your letter came yesterday
Your, flying home for Christmas
Could you stop to see me smile

I sat down to remember
All the pain we shared
But I drifted to times not so hard

Oh I see you in the corner of
Life's grand ballroom
And I tremble to see you again

Let's all go home again
Find where we have been
Time is never understood
I see you holding me
Please don't let me be
Tonight just may be our last

The bell rings to tell me
You're here now
And I wonder if your eyes glow and sparkle in the night

And I can't believe you look this way
Like a doll in satin
On a birthday afternoon

Hold me tightly
Like never before
You've come to say your alive

CHORUS

The sun arrives
You wake and peek outside
Touch my hand and walk right away
I hear you close the door
I don't feel joy anymore
And my heart is racing to who knows where

And I say it's our last night
And clutch my soul so tight
But I'll let go to have you again

CHORUS

Three
In my family say
"we've never been anywhere"

"to the left sea
can we go please
we don't care we want to
sit and stare at it"

can we try
to hold up our head
feel the power of the land that we trampled once

can we go
where you go
we know you always need us behind

it's me it's me
calling around looking for your reply
let me tell you where the story
can run to now

we came together
we will leave here one by one
let's go on and remember
where we've been

aunt Inez
from Virginia she
makes me feel like I could be president

of all I see
and all I dream
in these eyes that have held so much punishment

CHORUS

When she laughs
I hold up my head
She makes me feel like I could walk on water now

Can she go
Where I go
I know I'll always need her behind

CHORUS

Robinn' Robin in the tree
Won't you come down here and rescue me
Cause there's someplace else I gotta see
And you can stand in for me for awhile

Come on now hurry down
No time to play around
I need someone to walk this mile
She jumped and said like a child

Love is gone but now I see
You've got to capture me to set me free

Miss Mina came to me in a dream
She said, "boy come and walk with me
There's someplace I've got to see"
So we strolled along the mountain high

She called me boy my friend
And I wondered if or even when
I'd see Greta and my Rose again
The time has come for dealing

Lessons learned but now I see
You've got to capture me to set me free

I flew on the wings of a bird
And I whispered names of girls I once knew
Then she disappeared into a fallen stream

take a little bit of everything baby
i'll be all right
don't just settle for living the lie
that I thought you might


put on your disguise
let me see that you're bigger than me
tell me that tomorrow
I'll wake and yearn for you


And when I call your name out
You leave and take a bow
You say what do want from


Call off the service now baby
No one really knew
That I would have to leave
But now I'm a better man


I thought you realized
I wanted you but
You left so suddenly
I know I promised but now I lied


And when I kiss you someday
If you feel that your aloud
You say "what do you want from me now"


Burn all your candles
Turn out the light
Forget the feeling you've been feeling
Deep inside of me we'll be alright


Now it's the morning after
And I'm doing what you said
No one answers
So I cope cause you are gone
Oh I just wanted you baby
But I have to deal cause
My heart isn't big enough
To love you even if I please
And if I need you someday
You will not make a sound


Just think what do you want from me now

There's a curve in the highway just south of town
Where a man has pulled over to figure life out
With only his conscience and the lonesome sound
Of diesels windin' up the grade

He's got a wife and two kids, they love him so
And a woman down in Georgia, she startin' to show
He's damned if he leaves and he' sure damned if he don't
And he wonders how life got this way

'Cause it's a fine line in between right and wrong
Yeah, he's been crossing over that border way too long
He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart

Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing
Like the pull of a lover or a child in a swing
He gave his heart to two women, only one wears his ring
They're both gonna have his babies now

So how do you confess what words won't explain
He never intended to cause this much pain
Now he feels like a farmer who went prayin' for rain
And got that he bargained from the clouds

And it's a fine line in between right and wrong
Yeah, he's been crossing over that border way too long
He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart

He'll turn his care around tonight
Go home and try to face the truth
Everyone involed's gettin' hurt
And there aint nothin' he can do

(Guitar solo)

He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start
Now there ain't no escape, now there ain't no escape
From:

A fine line in between right and wrong
Yeah, he's been crossing over that border way too long
He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start-a

Every time I look at you, I go blind.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
In the mornin' I get up, and I try to
Feel alive, but I can't.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I don't know what it is.
Something in me just won't give me a chance.
I think it's that I feel more confused
By the deal love has shown me.
Little child, did you know that there's a light,
And it's gonna shine right through your eyes.
What do you think that life is like?
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I go blind
Well some where over there there's a purpose,
There's a care for free
In me there's no body, no one plan,
No one stand to be free.
I think it's that because I have seen all the fuss
And it's no big deal. No big deal.
Hold me, hold me 'cause I want to get higher and higher,
Higher than life

Walking on the water in a van
Tryin to think of everything I can
But it's getting very late,
And these tapes don't sound too good
And my body just don't feel
The way I wish it would.

I was driving when I heard you call my name.
It was not like before not quite the same
It's too late to be much good and I might as well confess
That I have not got the nerve to borrow cigarettes.

When I'm almost with you music tries to play,
When I'm almost home I almost hear you say,
It would be all right if we could run away.

Deciding things for all my life
No one ever tells you when or why
But my heart can't seem to tell me
What would satisfy my mind
So I jump into the van one more time

Wanna tell you 'bout the girl I love
My she looks so fine
She's the only one that I been dreamin' of
Maybe someday she will be all mine
I wanna tell her that I love her so
I thrill with her every touch
I need to tell her she's the only one I really love

(Chorus)
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman; she won't be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true

Sunday morning when we go down to church
See the menfolk standin' in line
I said they come to pray to the Lord
With my little girl, looks so fine
In the evening when the sun is sinkin ' low
Everybody's with the one they love
I walk the town
Keep a-searchin' all around:
Lookin' for my street corner girl

Chorus

In the bars, with the men who play guitars
Singin', Drinkin' and rememberin' the times
My little lover does a midnight shift
She followed around all the time
I guess there's just one thing a -left for me to do
Gonna pack my bags and move on my way
Cause I got a worried mind
Sharin' what I thought was mine
Gonna leave her where the guitars play

I got a woman, she won't be true, no no
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I got a little woman and she won't be true

(Hey, hey what can I do)

I said she won't be true

(Hey, hey what can I say)

Hey, hey, what can I do
I got a woman she won't be true
Lord, hear what I say
I got a woman, wanna ball all day.

Are you alone, Renaissance Eyes
I once had my family stolen from me, Renaissance Eyes
Is that your car, Renaissance Eyes, yeah
Have you ever taken dancing lessons, Renaissance Eyes

Chorus:
Drench you in a vision
And dress you with a passion
Though the vision haunts you
I'm the one who wants you to love me with those eyes
Love me with those eyes…

Oh, is that your car, Renaissance Eyes
I once had a car but it was stolen, Renaissance Eyes
Tell me your name, Renaissance Eyes
Do you ever think about the future, Renaissance Eyes

Chorus:
Drench you in a vision
And dress you with a passion
Though the vision haunts you
I'm the one who wants you to love me with those eyes
Love me with those eyes



Oh spend my days with her copies I've collected
All my nights, all my nights with a silver screen
Nothing wrong with the way that I respect her
She's more than an, more than an ordinary queen

Chorus:
Drench you in a passion
And dress you with a passion
Though the vision haunts you
I'm the one who wants you to love me with those eyes
Love me with those eyes

When the days are short
And the nights are long
And I wait for you to love me with those eyes
Love me with those eyes, eyes, eyes
Love me with those eyes, eyes
Love me with those eyes

There's a chill in your kissin'
And a thrill I've been missin' too long
This love is deceivin', babe, I'm believin'
This thing's going' wrong
'Cause your eyes betray your heart and soul
and your love for me is growin' old
And I think maybe I'd better pack my bags and

CHORUS:
Roll like the wind, better roll 'till the highway ends
Gonna roll on outta her
Before the heartache rolls in

There's a lonesome sound that keeps rollin'
'Round inside of me
Those wheel on the highway are whinin' on by
Baby I gotta leave
If I don't get out now while my minds in control
Then I'll never be able to ever let go
And I think maybe I better head outta here and

REPEAT CHORUS

It is worth the admission
"Oh my love" fogs up the glass
I look on, in a window
"Oh my love" fogs up the glass.

On rainy days I wonder what's behind the veil
And I feel your breath upon my mouth,

And I press my heart into your hand,
It's my gift from Araby.

We can move and be trusted,
But what is it that you want?
It is not what they think,
Yeah what is it that you want?

They look down on me and they smile forever,
But I know that love will kill that pride

And I press my heart into your hand
It's my gift from Araby.

Listen to what you're saying,
You know nothing of my love,
And if it all comes down to what you say
You know nothing of my love.

And looking up into the dark I find it there,
And I feel my breath upon my mouth,

And I press my heart into your hand
It's my gift from Araby.

We blew past the army motorcade
and it's abnormal load haulage
The gravity of the situation
came on us like a bit of new knowledge
The bubbliest bubble bath
broke down on the bank
The gravity of the situation
is why our old thought bubbles sank
humble and gracious
The gravity of the situation
a fat hungry English crow
picking at a badger carcass
The gravity of the situation
is hard to focus and harness
We met Bill Lowery
at the Queen's Hall
The gravity of the situation
became apparent to us all

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
How long must I dream

Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams the whole day through
Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams nighttime too
I love you and I'm dreaming of you but that won't do
Dream baby, make me stop my dreamin', you can make my dreams come true

The walls are built up, stone by stone;
the fields divided one by one.
And the train conductor says,
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
we've been on this shift too long"

And the train conductor says,
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

Way to shield the hated heat.
Way to put myself to sleep.
Way to shield the hated heat.
Way to put myself, my children to sleep.

He piloted this song in a plane like that one.
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again.
Field to weed is lookin' thin

And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We've been on this shift too long."
And the train conductor says,
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break.
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

I've been waiting for you
I wish you could too
Had you too long to lay back now
First time you caught my eye
I knew I want to spend my life
Making you feel like you should

CHORUS:
I'm not trying to make you do
Nothing you don't want to
But I said I love you
My love depends on you
It grow, it flows, it goes by you
Won't you let me be your man

So if you'd only tell me (it you'd only tell me)
Tell me that you love me (tell me that you love me)
I'll be the luckiest man alive
I just keep on waiting, anticipating
'Til the day you say you're mine

CHORUS

Won't you let me be your man
Let me be your man
Won't you let me be your man

Good times for a change.
See the look I've had could make a good man turn bad.
So please please please, let me, let me, let me…
Let me get what I want this time.

Haven't had a dream in a long time.
See the life I've had could make a good man bad.
So for one in my life let me get what I want.
Lord knows it would be the first time.
Lord knows it would be the first time.

My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff
I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
My brother sits me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through
I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me
You get in a crowd of high-class people and then you act real rude to me
But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough
I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're using me
Causes I sure am using you to do the things you do
Ah ha to do the things you do

TIME
Time, why you punish me?
Like a wave bashing into the shore
You wash away my dreams.

Time, why you walk away?
Like a friend with somewhere to go
You left me crying

Can you teach me about tommorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time

Time, I don't understand
Children killing in the street
Dying for the color of red
Time, hey there red and blue
Wash them in the ocean, make them clean,
Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight

Can you teach me about tomorrow
All the pain and sorrow
Running free?
But tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in...

chorus:

Time is wasting
Time is walking
You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where i'm goin'
I think I'm out of my mind
Thinking about time

And if I die tomorrow, yeah
Just lay me down in sleep

(chorus)

Time, you left me standing there
Like a tree growing all alone
The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare
Time, the past has come and gone
The future's far away
Now only lasts for one second, one second
Can you teach me about tomorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
'Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time

(chorus)

Time, why you punish me?

Staring back at you
Did you see my lips
Or were you smiling right in front of me

Your father called my name
Then he smiled with great relief
'Cause it wasn't me that you were clinging to

He made you turn around
You do that thing you do
And then you laughed with me

I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but she's watching me leave

Just wish they'd turn around
Just wish they'd try to see
But they don't understand and that's alright with me I'm leaving now

Going down to Tucker's Town
Where I can lie for free
Nobody stares at me and I'd love to hurt the population

She called last night
I said I'm about to leave
Then I heard him scream, "I'll pack your bags"

I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm leaving here

To see the world through your Rosy glasses
I'll teach you to fly but they teach greed
We live the belt but I can bleed

I don't know....
What I can't see....
I don't know
What I can't see

Every time I look at you, I go blind.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
In the mornin' I get up, and I try to
Feel alive, but I can't.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I don't know what it is.
Something in me just won't give me a chance.
I think it's that I feel more confused
By the deal love has shown me.
Little child, did you know that there's a light,
And it's gonna shine right through your eyes.
What do you think that life is like?
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I go blind
Well some where over there there's a purpose,
There's a care for free
In me there's no body, no one plan,
No one stand to be free.
I think it's that because I have seen all the fuss
And it's no big deal. No big deal.
Hold me, hold me 'cause I want to get higher and higher,
Higher than life
