You're sweet as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings You've gone and left my heart in pain All you left is our favorite song The one we danced to all night long It used to bring sweet memories Of a tender love that used to be Now it's the same old song But with a different meaning Since you been gone It's the same old song But with a different meaning Since you been gone A sentimental fool am I to hear a old love song And wanna cry But the melody keeps haunting me Reminding me how in love we used to be Keep hearing the part that used to touch my heart Saying together forever Breaking up never It's the same old song But with a different meaning Since you been gone It's the same old song But with a different meaning Since you been gone Precious memories keep a lingering on Everytime I hear our favorite song Now you're gone Left this emptiness I only reminisce The happiness we spent We used to dance on the music Make romance through the music It's the same old song But with a different meaning Since you been gone It's the same old song But with a different meaning Since you been gone It's the same old song But with a different meaning Since you been gone It's the same old song But with a different meaning Since you been gone |

(Just ask the lonely)
When you feel that you can make it alone Remember no one is big enough to go it alone Just ask the lonely They know the hurt and pain Of losing a love you can never regain (Just ask the lonely) Just ask the lonely The young and foolish let Their love sway and run away How buckle and sure that fate Will bring another love their way But ask the lonely How how badly a heart will burn I want you to know that will never return (Just ask the lonely) Just ask the lonely They will tell you They'll tell you a story of sadness A story too hard to believe And tell you the loneliest one is me (Just ask the lonely) Just ask the lonely Ask me I am the loneliest one, you'll SEE |

Baby, I need your lovin';
Baby, I need your lovin'; Although you're never near, Your voice I often hear. Another day, 'nother night, I long to hold you tight, 'Cause I'm so lonely. Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'. Baby I need your lovin'; Got to have all you lovin'. Some say it's a sign of weakness For a man to beg. Then weak I'd rather be, If it means having you to keep, 'Cause lately I've been losing sleep. Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'. Baby I need your lovin'; Got to have all you lovin'. Lonely nights echo your name, Oh, sometimes I wonder Will I ever be the same? Oh yeah! When you see me smiling, You know things have gotten worse. Any smile you might see has all been rehearsed. Darling, I can't go on without you. This emptiness won't let me live without you; This loneliness inside, darling, Makes me feel half alive. Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'. Baby I need your lovin'; Got to have all you lovin'. Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'. Baby I need your lovin'; Got to have all you lovin'. Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'. Baby I need your lovin'; Got to have all you lovin'. |

The air is warm
I hear the wind and the trees I know I'm there, but I'll never be The wind is soft tonight, the tide is low And I know the way (I never felt better now) Sometimes life, it moves too slow Slows to a crawl, and then the poetry is lost And without speed, hope becomes certainty And for once I'm certain (I never felt better now) A garden is it's own perfect world Where everything has a place Every leaf, every stone, every speck of dirt But where's my place? I even tried to get arrested today But everyone looked the other way I count the hours, and I count the days But for once I'm certain Don't want your help Don't need your help Don't want your help Don't need your help Helpless You found a way to make me say Help me please someone The water's clear I see that it's full of dimes For every wish, I wonder why Why all I want is something beautiful A place to rest (I never felt better now) HELP |

Sweet as a honey bee but like a honey bee stings,
you've gone and left my heart in pain. All you left is our favorite song, the one we danced to all night long. It used to bring sweet memories of a tender love that used to be, now it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone. Now it's the same, same old song, but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone. Fool am I to hear a old love song. And wanna cry but the melody keeps haunting me reminding me how in love we used to be. Keep hearing the part that used to touch our heart saying together forever. Breaking up never, it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone. Now it's the same, same old song, but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone. Precious memories keep-a lingering on, ev'rytime I hear our favorite song, now you're gone, left this emptiness, I only reminisce. The happiness we spent, we used to dance to the music make romance to the music, now it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone. Now it's the same, same old song, but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone. Oh I can't bear to hear it, it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning since you been gone; it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning since you been gone; |

[Chorus] Without the one you love, Life is not worthwhile Without your love my dear I'm like a fatherless child So come and fill my empty arms and Make my life worthwhile When I feel the hurt comin' on I stop and cry like I'm cryin' (right now) People ask why would a grown man cry I drop my head and I sigh and reply [Chorus] (Baby I need your good lovin') Sometimes I feel like a wanderer (Got to have your love right now) Searching for peace within (Baby I need your good lovin') I need you my darling (Got to have your love right now) Like a lost soul needs a friend So come and fill my empty arms and Fill my empty life (Baby I need your good lovin') Nobody knows the emptiness I feel (Got to have your love right now) And I feel it (Baby I need your good lovin') Nobody knows the loneliness I feel (Got to have your love right now) And I feel it, because [Chorus:Repeat x2] |

My love has gone. My dreams have passed away. Her funny way, my sunny day are gone And, yet, I think of her when first we met, when first we loved before my love was gone. I hear her voice beside me in the night. I see her hand, yet here I stand alone. My love has gone and ever, ever will I be a star-crossed lover tossed upon the sea. |

(Seven rooms) A lonely house 'cause now you've gone (Filled with gloom) Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom (Just seven rooms of gloom) I live with emptiness (Filled with emptiness) Without your tenderness You took the dream I had for us Turned my dreams into dust I watch the phone never rings I watch the door that never rings Bring you back into my life Turn this darkness into light I'm all alone in this house Turn this house into a home I need your touch to comfort me The tender, tender arms that once held me Without your love, your love inside This house is just a place to run and hide Seven rooms, that's all it is - seven rooms of gloom Rooms of emptiness Without your tenderness Don't make me live from day to day Watching the clock that ticks away Another day, another way Another reason for me to stay I need you here, here with me I need your loving desperately I'm all alone, all alone In this house that's not a home I miss your love I once had known I miss your kiss that was my very, very own Empty silence surrounding me Lonely walls they stare at me Seven rooms, that's all it is - rooms of gloom I live with emptiness Without your tenderness All the windows are painted black And wait right here until you come back I'll keep waiting, waiting Until your face again I see [fade] |

(Ain't no woman like the one I've got.)
(Ain't no woman like the one I've got.) (Ain't no woman like the one I've got.) Every day the sun comes up around her. She can make the birds sing harmony. Every drop of rain is glad it found her. Heaven must have made her just for me. When she smiles so warm and tender, A sight for sore eyes to see. Oooh, (ain't no woman like the one I've got.) Oh, no, they don't come better. (To make her happy doesn't take a lot.) She don't ask for things, no diamond rings. (So together, like a hand in glove.) Like pages in a letter. (Ain't no woman like the one I love.) She can fill me up when it's down I'm goin' (I'm goin'). Put a little music in my day. Wouldn't be surprised if my love keeps growin' (it keeps growin'). Bigger every minute that she stays away. I would kiss the ground she walks on, Cause it's my word, my word she'll obey, now. Woo-ooh. (Ain't no woman like the one I've got.) Well, I kiss the ground she walks on. (To make her happy doesn't take a lot.) She's a real good friend right to the end. (So together like a hand in glove.) A lonely man when she's gone. (People, ain't no woman like the one I love.) Oooh. What a good, good thing I've got. She means to me a lot. (Ain't no woman like the I've got.) No, no, they don't come better. (To make her happy doesn't take a lot.) She don't ask for things, no diamond rings. (So together, like a hand in glove.) Like pages in a letter. (Ain't no woman like the one I love, people.) (Ain't no woman like the one I've got.) Well, I kiss the ground she walks on. (To make her happy doesn't take a lot.) I'm a lonely man when my baby's gone. |

There's not a street that you can walk
You've got to watch just who you're talking to They're out to get you Can't turn your back on a smiling face Next thing you know, there ain't no trace of you And this I bet you Some people lose and some folks win It's a matter of what they do [Chorus] Are you man enough? Big and bad enough? Are you gonna let 'em shoot your down? When the evil flies and your brother cries Are you gonna be around? Someone needs a friend Just around the bin Don't you think you should be there? Are you man enough when the going's rough? Is it in your heart to care? There's not pretending it goes away With every step that you take you pay your dues And I ain't lying You got to struggle to see the light Cause someone's looking to steal your right to choose And they don't stop trying It's like a jungle outside the door And it's keeping you so confused [Chorus] Gotta keep your eye on the passersby Better watch your step! Cause you never know when the knife will go And they ain't missed yet The strong survive They stay alive They're always cool But that they never teach you in school [Chorus: Repeat x2] ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By DENNIS LAMBERT, BRIAN POTTER <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

(Just ask the lonely)
When you feel that you can make it alone Remember no one is big enough to go it alone Just ask the lonely They know the hurt and pain Of losing a love you can never regain (Just ask the lonely) Just ask the lonely The young and foolish let Their love sway and run away How buckle and sure that fate Will bring another love their way But ask the lonely How how badly a heart will burn I want you to know that will never return (Just ask the lonely) Just ask the lonely They will tell you They'll tell you a story of sadness A story too hard to believe And tell you the loneliest one is me (Just ask the lonely) Just ask the lonely Ask me I am the loneliest one, you'll SEE |

Baby, I need your lovin';
Baby, I need your lovin'; Although you're never near, Your voice I often hear. Another day, 'nother night, I long to hold you tight, 'Cause I'm so lonely. Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'. Baby I need your lovin'; Got to have all you lovin'. Some say it's a sign of weakness For a man to beg. Then weak I'd rather be, If it means having you to keep, 'Cause lately I've been losing sleep. Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'. Baby I need your lovin'; Got to have all you lovin'. Lonely nights echo your name, Oh, sometimes I wonder Will I ever be the same? Oh yeah! When you see me smiling, You know things have gotten worse. Any smile you might see has all been rehearsed. Darling, I can't go on without you. This emptiness won't let me live without you; This loneliness inside, darling, Makes me feel half alive. Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'. Baby I need your lovin'; Got to have all you lovin'. Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'. Baby I need your lovin'; Got to have all you lovin'. Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin'. Baby I need your lovin'; Got to have all you lovin'. |

Bernadette, people are searchin' for
the kind of love that we possess. Some go on searchin' their whole life through and never find the love I've found in you. And when I speak of you I see envy in other men's eyes, and I'm well aware of what's on their minds. They pretend to be my friend, when all the time they long to persuade you from my side. They'd give the world and all they own for just one moment we have known. Bernadette, they want you because of the pride that gives, But Bernadette, I want you because I need you to live. But while I live only to hold you, Some other men, they long to control you. But how can they control you Bernadette, when they can not control themselves, Bernadette, from wanting you, needing you, But darling you belong to me. I'll tell the world you belong to me, I'll tell the world, you're the soul of me, I'll tell the world you're a part of me. In your arms I find the kind of peace of mind the world is searching for, But you, you give me the joy this heart of mine has always been longing for. In you I have what other men long for. All men need someone to worship and adore, that's why I treasure you and place you high above, for the only joy in life is to be loved. So whatever you do, Bernadette, keep on loving me, Bernadette, keep on needing me, Bernadette. |

In this world of ups and downs
My dreams all fall through Things just don't work out, No matter what I do Disappointment haunts me Through each lonely day The world around I see In only shades of gray But when the love light shines Upon my face I'm in a different world. A world I never knew I'm in a different world A world so sweet and true I'm in a different world I'm no longer just another face In a crowd Hey look into my eyes You'll see I'm strong and I'm proud You are all the sweetness Of my life you see You have brought heaven Right here on earth to me No man of wealth I know I'll ever be But I'll be satisfied Just knowing you love me On the stage of life I've played a losers part It seems like I've been down Right from the very start Every time I lift myself Up off the ground Something always happens To bring the curtain down But when your love light shines Upon my face I'm in a different world A world so warm and sweet I'm in a different world Now that you've been loving me I'm in a different world Each time you speak my name Or put your hand in mine The empty life I knew I leave it far behind Cause you gave me the love That I truly felt Most of all you made me Believe in myself Your more than a love to me Your my way of life I'll forever cherish you More each day in night I'm in a different world A world that's warm A world that's sweet A world that's every bit complete A world that's real you've made me see All the beauty surrounding me Look what you've done for me Look what you've done for me I'm in a different world Now that you've been loving me I'm in a different world And that's where I want to be I'm in a different world Now that you've been loving me I'm in a different world (And that's where I want to be) It's in a different world Now that you've been loving me |

Sweet as a honey bee but like a honey bee stings,
you've gone and left my heart in pain. All you left is our favorite song, the one we danced to all night long. It used to bring sweet memories of a tender love that used to be, now it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone. Now it's the same, same old song, but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone. Fool am I to hear a old love song. And wanna cry but the melody keeps haunting me reminding me how in love we used to be. Keep hearing the part that used to touch our heart saying together forever. Breaking up never, it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone. Now it's the same, same old song, but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone. Precious memories keep-a lingering on, ev'rytime I hear our favorite song, now you're gone, left this emptiness, I only reminisce. The happiness we spent, we used to dance to the music make romance to the music, now it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone. Now it's the same, same old song, but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone. Oh I can't bear to hear it, it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning since you been gone; it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning since you been gone; |

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed In love's hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the ground around your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing checkers by the trees MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! There will be another song for me For I will sing it There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at the sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life You'll still be the one I will take my life into my hands and I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire And my passion flow like rivers through the sky And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you And wondering why MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! Oh, no No, no Oh no!! |

Just because in a moment of madness
I took advantage of your sweet love Don't just hand me a lifetime of sadness When there's so little I'm guilty of One chain don't make no prison Two wrongs don't make no right One rain don't make no river One punch don't make no fight Can you spare me a little affection Would that be askin' too much of you Don't point love in another direction I swear I'll make it up to you One chain don't make no prison Two wrongs don't make no right One rain don't make no river One punch don't make no fight There's a bed I'm keepin' empty for you There's a lot I know I've got to prove Don't let a simple misunderstanding Be a mountain that we can't move |

All through this long and sleepless night
I hear my neighbors talking (She don't love him) Saying that out of my life Into another's arms you'll soon be walking [Chorus] Somebody shake me, wake me when it's over Somebody tell me that I'm dreamin' And wake me when its over They say our love ain't what it used to be And everyone knows but me I close my ears not wanting to hear But the words are loud and clear Through these walls so thin I hear my neighbors when They say "She don't love him, she don't love him" They say my heart's in danger Cause you're leaving me For the love of a stranger [Chorus] Girl you're what my heart desires My whole world you inspire I can't bear to be losing you Cause I've loved you my whole life through Restlessly I pace the floor Listening to my neighbor's criticize What a fool I am not to realize You don't want me by your side As the tears stream down my face I can't believe I've been replaced If I've ever ever dreamed before Somebody tell me I'm dreaming now I said shake me, wake me somebody when its over Somebody tell me that I'm dreaming And wake me when its over C'mon wake me, shake me somebody |

Standing in the shadows of love
Waitin' for the heartaches to come Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love I getting ready for the heartaches to come I'd run but there's no where to go 'Cause heartaches will follow me I know Without your love, the love I need It's the beginning of the end for me 'Cause you've taken away all me reasons for livin' When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving Now wait a minute Didn't I teach you right, didn't I? Didn't I do the best I could, didn't I? So don't you leave me standin' in the shadow of love I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come Don't you see me standing in the shadow of love Just tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come All alone I'll desperately be With misery my only company Come today, in fact come tomorrow Sorrow, I ain't got nothin' but sorrow Don't your conscience bother you How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you Now hold a minute Gave you all the love I had, didn't I? When you needed me I was there, now wasn't I? (Standing in the shadows of love Gettin' ready for the heartaches to come) I've tried not to cry out loud No gal you ain't gonna help me now What did I do to cause all this grief Now what'd I say to make you want to leave Now wait a minute I gave my heart and soul to you, didn't I? Now din't I always treat you good, didn't I? I'm Standing in the shadows of love I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come Hope to see you standing in the shadows of love Tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come Standing in the shadows of..........(fade |

And when I see the sign that points one way
The lot we used to pass by every day Just walk away Renee You won't see me follow you back home The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same You're not to blame From deep inside the tears that I'm forced to cry From deep inside the pain that I chose to hide Just walk away Renee You won't see me follow you back home Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes For me it cries Just walk away Renee You won't see me follow you back home Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes For me it cries Your name and mine inside a heart on a wall Still finds a way to haunt me, though they're so small Just walk away Renee You won't see me follow you back home The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same You're not to blame |

A man can walk proudly,
Down in the street. A man's not ashamed of what he believes. He knows how to laugh, He knows when to cry. He knows it's best to live. He's afraid to die. What is a man, What is a man? What is a man, What is a man? A man searches, For the key to success. He'd rather be sure, Than take a wild guess. He knows how to love, He knows how to hate. He knows when to move. He knows just when to wait. What is a man, What is a man? What is a man, What is a man? A man can be angry, & still hold his tongue A man don't give up Till the battle is won. He knows how to win, He's not ashamed to lose. He knows his destiny is his alone to choose What is a man, What is a man? What is a man, What is a man? What is a man, What is a man? What is a man, What is a man? Just what is a man? |

She used to be
Everything to me When she was my girl when she was my girl I held her near Told her how much I cared When she was my girl when she was my girl When she was my girl There was laughter and loving in my world Everyday When she was my girl Oh what joy she would bring Now I've lost everything She's gone, gone, gone gone, gone! I spend the night Dreaming how she used to be When she was my girl when she was my girl When she was my girl There was laughter and loving in my world Yes it was Cause she was my girl Oh what joy she would bring Now I've lost everything She's gone She used to be Everything to me When she was my girl My girl She was my girl |
