I'm no genius, I just live in a messy room I try to hide it so I can't find anything You can't break my heart to make the words come out ‘Cause I don't know a love song or a lullaby
Who do you think you are?
I'm afraid of everyone and I talk too fast I'm never ever where I want to be And I can't tell you where I get the sadness from But you can take me dancing every night
Who do you think you are?
I've got room for one man in my heart And I don't even know where I would start You can make me cry on Danforth Avenue But I'll still hide it in my messy room
Should I call you officer ‘Cause you're asking all the questions that I get at the border I know you want to file me away, With the girls who disappoint you every day
I'm no better staring at your mouth Making other plans as the words come out It's hard to choose in a crowded room You're never satisfied with the one you're talking to
And if I believe in Jesus Like a little girl in her Sunday dress And if I live forever like Elvis Would I be perfect?
Well I'm not what I claim to be And I've heard you whispering when I leave We're all trying to leave no trace But somehow your life gets written on your face
And if I believe in Jesus Like a little girl in her Sunday dress And if I live forever like Elvis Would I be perfect?
And what am I gonna tell that little girl When she asks me what I left for her And what am I gonna tell that little girl When she runs home crying, it's a cruel, cruel world And what am I gonna tell that little girl That little girl
I'm twenty-two and I've been through hell Where did I go when I lost myself? Where did I go when I lost myself? Where did I go when I lost myself?
And if I believe in Jesus Like a little girl in her Sunday dress And if I live forever like Elvis Would I be perfect?
Don't make me smile I know that you're leaving You life isn't here Underneath the Christmas lights
But I'll be wearing Your hockey sweater And you'll be waiting Somewhere where it never snows
Don't say the words My heart is breaking And I'm on the stairs Watching you drive away
And I'll be wearing Your hockey sweater And you'll be waiting Somewhere where it never snows
Four corners to my bed Four angels 'round my head Four corners to my bed Four angels 'round my head One to watch and two to pray One to keep all cares away
And I'll be wearing Your hockey sweater And you'll be waiting Somewhere, somewhere
And I'll be wearing Your hockey sweater And you'll be waiting Somewhere where it never snows
Well it's a waste of time, cuz you and I will never rhyme But who can blame us if we try And I can't stay mad reading your letters, your hand writing's so bad But your love is so good
How do I know, how do I know you really care How do I know, how do I know you're really there How do I know, when to stay and when to go When I feel so…
Well I'm a Scarborough girl, wearing my high heels and my $5 pearls In an imitation world And I can't have him, cuz he's down in L.A. and that's too far to swim So you'll just have to stand in
How do I know, how do I know you really care How do I know, how do I know you're really there How do I know, when to stay and when to go When I feel so…
Well I guess we're all just the same Guarding the fire from the rain By holding our hands in the flame
How do I know, how do I know you really care How do I know, how do I know you're really there How do I know, when to stay and when to go When I feel so…
Al Pacino eyes are looking at me I stand in the kitchen, making decisions That nobody sees
You say you believe, well where did you find it? What books did you read, was it on tv And who was behind it?
It would be easy to say yes It would be easy to say no Why am I always so restless? Could it be I just don't know?
There's too much of everything There's so much I can't think It was better without anything There's too much of everything
Al Pacino eyes have found me again I thought we were ready, I thought it was easy It's all in my head
You'll never know how you affect me ‘Cause I tell my mother, she makes me feel better That's all that I need
It would be easy to say yes It would be easy to say no Why am I always so restless? Could it be I just don't know?
There's too much of everything There's so much I can't think It was better without anything There's too much of every
Al Pacino eyes, I remember my first kiss It was too much so I ran up the driveway I've been running since
It would be easy to say yes It would be easy to say no Why am I always so restless? Could it be I just don't know?
There's too much of everything There's so much I can't think It was better without anything There's too much of every, too much of every Too much of everything
Well you know that I compare you to someone I want more And I can't make you promises I've broken once before So take my presence lightly and listen with your eyes And don't believe the actress when she cries
I paint my face each morning so you can't look right through And I kiss another microphone and hope it gets to you And I know you feel abandoned waving to the sky But don't believe the actress when she cries
And the girl who cried piano is singing to the wolves She's dressed up in her armour; her sword is made of words And you'll forget you love her when she forgets her lines So don't believe the actress, Oh don't believe the actress Please don't believe the actress when I cry.
