I'm just a symptom of my time just a victim of my mind Turning deaf and dumb and blind cause I need to I'm inescapably obsessed with the thoughts I have repressed How I look when I'm undressed to receive you Why do you think your love could ever change me Why you don't know anything about me baby Should I wax or should I shave be a master or a slave Would a good girl misbehave like I plan to Do I smile or do I pout turn the collar in or out It's the little things that count baby can't you see that I I just can't take it anymore I need to find some kind of light behind the door And it gets me down yes it gets me down Everybody's got it right but me somehow And it gets me down spins my head around Life really should be easier by now I read another magazine see the star I've never been Hope is something in between all the pages So I buy a promise in a jar I try to cover up the scars There's no shelter from the storm when it rages I've tried so long and hard and nothing changes God must be laughing as he turns away And it gets me down yes it gets me down Everybody's got it right but me somehow And it gets me down spins my head around Life really should be easier for me by now And it gets me down spins my head around Life really should be easier by now
I I just can't take it anymore I need to find some kind of light behind the door

I've tried so long and hard and nothing changes (I...) God must be laughing as he turns away

When its could outside, you can bundle up real warm. When its cold inside, theres no shelter from the storm. Id be better off here, on my own. Cause when you chill like this, it makes me shiver to the bone.
Tell me, dont you wanna try? Tell me, is it March or mid-July?
Cause I, I dont wanna waste away another frozen day when summers burning. Im not gonna fret another season of regret, my leaves are turning. Who told you?
In the blazing sun, I read it in your hand. Oh, and the moon was hanging low, we made love in the sand.
Now show me, if you wanna try. Show me, or could this be goodbye
Cause I, Im not gonna waste away another frozen day when summers burning. Im not gonna fret another season of regret, my leaves are turning. Who told you? Who told you? Who told you? Who told you?
Tell me, dont you wanna try? Come on, show me, or could this be goodbye?
Cause I, Im not gonna waste away another frozen day when summers burning. Im not gonna fret another season of regret, my world is turning. Who told you? Who told you?
Cause Im not gonna freeze away another frozen day my fires burning. Who told you? Who told you? Who told you? Who told you? Dont you wanna try? Dont you wanna try? Dont you wanna try? Dont you wanna try?
Better synchronize our stories Before we get together A single word could be enough to change the weather
All your dirty little secrets Might just wreck her little plans Don't wanna pull the rug out She'd never understand
Those sleazy things we never speak of The highest mountain peak of Big big big BIG LOVE Your melodrama is quite a show But she won't watch this episode of Big big big BIG LOVE
You said she found my letters I don't remember what I wrote But she could probably tell it to me quote by quote After years of undercover We mix and mingle, act so free Now it's just a matter of rewriting history
Those sleazy things we never speak of The highest mountain peak of Big big big BIG LOVE It bites you like a tiny bug The elephant beneath your rug That big big big BIG LOVE
Love is what you wanted Love is what you called it
Hear no, speak no, she don't see Your problem with monogamy And big big big BIG LOVE Tales are tall, and time is short I'm not your first or last resort For big big big BIG LOVE
We all pretend it isn't there But it's always poking out somewhere That big big big BIG LOVE
Those sleazy things we never speak of The highest mountain peak of Big big big BIG LOVE
Every single day I go about my business Set in my own little ways Until my heart gangs up on me And when the bomb goes off And all the fire bells they ring as I run for the door
It is far too late I know there is no escape
Love is gonna hit you where it hurts Still it's all that you want now
Hearts might hesitate They give an inch but they're dragged for a mile through the mud But they still get up and claim their innocence But still the trap has snapped And when they turn only to find There is no turning back
They will cut their teeth On every tender leash
Love is gonna hit you where it hurts Still it's all that you want now
But no one is safe from harm In somebody else's arms Tonight
Has the whole world gone blind Wearing only bottle caps on their eyes Happily indifferent and all smiles For everyone involved Has the whole world gone deaf Could it be the hearing aid went dead
Wouldn't know a symphony from a chair Don't they know that excellence is right here
'Cause I know that I am worth it Seated in expensive chairs, with millionaires and stuff 'Cause I know that I'm worth it
Is the whole world asleep Snoring through the miracle at its feet Oblivious to beauty and unkind to all the things I do Must I take to extremes giving up my hopes and my dreams
'Cause they don't know a symphony from a chair Don't they know that excellence is right here
I know that Im worth it Seated in expensive chairs, with millionaires and stuff 'Cause I know that I'm worth it Dress me up in ruby robes and golden hopes for all I know that I am worth it
And I can make everyone better meals Than they ever had, and it's so sad That they all seem to prefer jellybeans I know that I am worth it and I can make everyone better meals And it's so sad that they all seem to prefer jellybeans
I know that I am worth it Seated in expensive chairs, with millionaires and stuff 'Cause I know that I'm worth it Dress me up in ruby robes and golden hopes for all Know that I'm worth it Think of me as a leading light, a star too bright to fall
