"Lonely Boy"

Well I’m so above youAnd it’s plain to see

But I came to love you anywaySo you pulled my heart outAnd I don’t mind bleeding

Any old time you keep me waitingWaiting, waiting

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waitingOh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

I’m a lonely boyI’m a lonely boy

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Well your mama kept you but your daddy left youAnd I should’ve done you just the same

But I came to love youAm I born to bleed?

Any old time you keep me waitingWaiting, waiting

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waitingOh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

I’m a lonely boyI’m a lonely boy

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Hey!

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waitingOh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

I’m a lonely boyI’m a lonely boy

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

"Heavy Stone"

Bitten by the wind on a hard, hard dayAnd god, I really want you to stayBitten by tears and a burning fear

That has smeared us both on the tableThere are too many people in this street

There are too many eyes to meet

So I'll hold your wrist and I'll feel you listlessShaking on the edge of your seat

Oh, hide me safe awayI wanna see myself painted an invisible grey

Now feed me to the yearsAnd I will make myself harmless as a drawn-on tear

And please, don't hold me in your soul like a heavy stoneI am carrying my cold heart home

Trapped by a breath and it hit my head Like a thousand bricks from the sky

And I saw you choke as the last bridge brokeAnd our fingers waved goodbye

And there are too many clowns stumbling byAnd there are too many hands to untie

So I leave it there by the tin can chairsAnd the pavement swallows our lies

Oh, hide me safe awayI wanna see myself painted an invisible grey

Now feed me to the years And I will make myself harmless as a drawn-on tear

And please, don't hold me in your soul like a heavy stone

I am carrying my cold heart...

Your face has followed me homeWith unwanted grace I leave you lonely andWe would never make a perfect piece to fitWe will remain unfinished puzzles as we sit

Hide me safe awayI wanna see myself painted an invisible grey

Now feed me to the yearsAnd I will make myself harmless as a drawn-on tear

And please, don't hold me in your soul like a heavy stone

I am carrying my cold heart home

"It's My Life"

It's funny how I find myselfIn love with you

If I could buy my reasoningI'd pay to lose

One half won't do

I've asked myselfHow much do youCommit yourself?

It's my lifeDon't you forget

It's my lifeIt never ends (It never ends...)

Funny how I blind myselfI never knew

If I was sometimes played uponAfraid to lose

Oh, I'd tell myselfWhat good do you do

Convince myself

Oh, It's my lifeDon't you forgetOh, It's my life

It never ends (It never ends...)

And I've asked myselfHow much do youCommit yourself?

It's my lifeDon't you forget

Caught in the crowdIt never ends (its my life)

It's my lifeDon't you forget

Caught in the crowdIt never ends (It never ends)

Oh, It's my life... (oh its my life)Don't you forget... (don't you forget)

Caught in the crowd... (caught in the crowd)It never ends (it never ends...)

"Sabotage"

I can't stand it I know you planned itI'm gonna set it straight, this watergateI can't stand rocking when I'm in here

Because your crystal ball ain't so crystal clearSo while you sit back and wonder why

I got this fucking thorn in my sideOh my, it's a mirage

I'm tellin' y'all it's sabotage

So listen up 'cause you can't say nothin'You'll shut me down with a push of your button?

But yo I'm out and I'm goneI'll tell you now I keep it on and on

'cause what you see you might not getAnd we can bet so don't you get souped yetYou're scheming on a thing that's a mirage

I'm trying to tell you now it's sabotage

Why; our backs are now against the wallListen all of y'all it's a sabotageListen all of y'all it's a sabotageListen all of y'all it's a sabotageListen all of y'all it's a sabotage

I can't stand it, I know you planned itBut I'm gonna set it straight this watergate

But I can't stand rockin' when I'm in this placeBecause I feel disgrace because you're all in my face

But make no mistakes and switch up my channelI'm buddy rich when I fly off the handle

What could it be, it's a mirageYou're scheming on a thing - that's sabotage

"Doesn't Mean Anything"

Used to dream of being a millionaire without a careBut if I'm seeing my dreams and you aren't there

Cause it's over, that just won't be fair, darlingRather be a poor woman living on the street, no food to eat

Cause I don't want no pie if I have to cryCause it's over when you said goodbye

All at once, I had it allBut it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone

From above, seems I had it allBut it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

Now I see myself through different eyes, it's no surpriseBeing alone would make you realize

When it's over, all in love is fairI should've been there, I should've been there, I should've should've

All at once, I had it allBut it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone

From above, seems I had it allBut it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

I know I push you awayWhat can I do that will say how I love?

Take these material thingsThey don't mean nothing

It's you that I want

All at once, I had it allBut it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone

From above, seems I had it allBut it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

(I should've been there, I should been there, I should've should've)

All at once, I had it allBut it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone

From above, seems I had it allBut it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

"Photograph"

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimesBut it's the only thing that I know

When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimesIt is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photographWe made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closingHearts are never broken

And time's forever frozen still

So you can keep meInside the pocket of your ripped jeansHolding me closer 'til our eyes meet

You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

Loving can heal, loving can mend your soulAnd it's the only thing that I know, know

I swear it will get easier,Remember that with every piece of you

And it's the only thing we take with us when we die

We keep this love in this photographWe made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closinghearts are never broken

And time's forever frozen still

So you can keep meInside the pocket of your ripped jeansHolding me closer 'til our eyes meet

You won't ever be alone

And if you hurt meThat's okay baby, only words bleedInside these pages you just hold me

And I won’t ever let you goWait for me to come homeWait for me to come homeWait for me to come homeWait for me to come home

You can fit meInside the necklace you got when you were sixteen

Next to your heartbeat where I should beKeep it deep within your soul

And if you hurt meWell, that's okay baby, only words bleed

Inside these pages you just hold meAnd I won’t ever let you go

When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed meUnder the lamppost back on Sixth streetHearing you whisper through the phone,

"Wait for me to come home."

"Promiscuous"(feat. Timbaland)

[N:] Am I throwing you off?Nope

[N:] Didn’t think so

How you doin’ young ladyThat feelin’ that you givin’ really drives me crazy

You don’t have to play about the jokeI was at a loss of words first time that we spoke

You're looking for a girl that’ll treat you rightYou lookin’ for her in the day time with the light

You might be the type if I play my cards rightI'll find out by the end of the night

[N:] You expect me to just let you hit itBut will you still respect me if you get it

All I can do is try, gimme one chanceWhat’s the problem I don’t see no ring on your hand

I be the first to admit it, I’m curious about you, you seem so innocent

[N:] You wanna get in my world, get lost in itBoy I’m tired of running, lets walk for a minute

[Chorus]Promiscuous girlWherever you are

I’m all aloneAnd it's you that I want

[N:] Promiscuous boyYou already knowThat I’m all yours

They call me Thomaslast name CrownRecognize game

I'm a lay mine's down

[N:] I'm a big girl I can handle myselfBut if I get lonely I’ma need your help

Pay attention to me I don't talk for my health

I want you on my team[N:] So does everybody else.

Baby we can keep it on the lowLet your guard down ain’t nobody gotta know

If you with it girl I know a place we can go

Wait! I don't mean no harmI can see you with my t-shirt on

I can see you with nothing onfeeling on me before you bring that on

Bring that on[N:] You know what I mean

Girl, I’m a freak you shouldn't say those things

I’m only trying to get inside your brainTo see if you can work me the way you say

It's OK, it's alrightI got something that you gonna like

Hey is that the truth or are you talking trashIs your game M.V.P. like Steve Nash

[Chorus]Promiscuous GirlWherever you are

But you're driving me crazyThe way you're making me wait

Promiscuous Girl

So we don't gotta play games no more

"Mr Brightside"

I'm coming out of my cageAnd I’ve been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be downBecause I want it all

It started out with a kissHow did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss, it was only a kissNow I’m falling asleepAnd she’s calling a cab

While he’s having a smokeAnd she’s taking a drag

Now they’re going to bedAnd my stomach is sickAnd it’s all in my head

But she’s touching his chestNow, he takes off her dress

Now, letting me go

And I just can’t look - it's killing meAnd taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the seaTurning through sick lullabies [acoustic version of the song says: "Swimming through sick lullabies"]

Choking on your alibisBut it’s just the price I pay

Destiny is calling meOpen up my eager eyes

‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I’m coming out of my cageAnd I’ve been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be downBecause I want it all

It started out with a kissHow did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss, it was only a kissNow I’m falling asleepAnd she’s calling a cab

While he’s having a smokeAnd she’s taking a drag

Now they’re going to bedAnd my stomach is sickAnd it’s all in my head

But she’s touching his chestNow, he takes off her dress

Now, letting me go

'Cause I just can’t look - it's killing meAnd taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the seaTurning through sick lullabies [acoustic version of the song says: "Swimming through sick lullabies"]

Choking on your alibisBut it’s just the price I pay

Destiny is calling meOpen up my eager eyes

‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I never...I never...I never...I never...

"Borderline"

Something in the way you love me won't let me beI don't want to be your prisoner so baby won't you set me free

Stop playing with my heartFinish what you start

When you make my love come downIf you want me let me know

Baby let it showHoney don't you fool around

Just try to understand, I've given all I can,'Cause you got the best of me

[Chorus:]

Borderline feels like I'm going to lose my mindYou just keep on pushing my love over the borderline

[repeat chorus again]

Keep on pushing me babyDon't you know you drive me crazy

You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline

Something in your eyes is makin' such a fool of meWhen you hold me in your arms you love me till I just can't see

But then you let me down, when I look around, baby you just can't be foundStop driving me away, I just wanna stay,

There's something I just got to say

Just try to understand, I've given all I can,'Cause you got the best of me

[chorus]

Keep on pushing me babyDon't you know you drive me crazy

You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline

Look what your love has done to meCome on baby set me free

What does it take to make you see?You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline

"You Can Call Me Al"

A man walks down the streetHe says why am I soft in the middle now

Why am I soft in the middleThe rest of my life is so hardI need a photo-opportunityI want a shot at redemption

Don't want to end up a cartoonIn a cartoon graveyard

Bonedigger BonediggerDogs in the moonlight

Far away my well-lit doorMr. Beerbelly Beerbelly

Get these mutts away from meYou know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore

If you'll be my bodyguardI can be your long lost pal

I can call you BettyAnd Betty when you call me

You can call me Al

A man walks down the streetHe says why am I short of attentionGot a short little span of attention

And wo my nights are so longWhere's my wife and family

What if I die hereWho'll be my role-model

Now that my role-model isGone Gone

He ducked back down the alleyWith some roly-poly little bat-faced girl

All along alongThere were incidents and accidents

There were hints and allegations

If you'll be my bodyguardI can be your long lost pal

I can call you BettyAnd Betty when you call me

You can call me AlCall me Al

A man walks down the streetIt's a street in a strange worldMaybe it's the Third World

Maybe it's his first time aroundHe doesn't speak the language

He holds no currencyHe is a foreign man

He is surrounded by the soundThe sound

Cattle in the marketplaceScatterlings and orphanages

He looks around, aroundHe sees angels in the architecture

Spinning in infinityHe says Amen! and Hallelujah!

If you'll be my bodyguardI can be your long lost pal

I can call you BettyAnd Betty when you call me

You can call me AlCall me Al

"Born To Be A Dancer"

You and me we're madeIt's impossible to say to me

To be together alwaysThen you moved away

To the capital of EnglandI hope you stay there

Once you asked me what I'm thinkingI lay back and think of EnglandDo you know the real answer?

I was born to be a dancerOh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh oh ohOh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh oh oh

I came down at yourOn the national express

Request to touch your breastsAnd there I found that you

You were hanging with a crowdA load of cheats and liars

Do you know what I've been thinking?I lay back and think of EnglandDo you know the real answer?

I was born to be a dancerOh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh oh ohOh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh oh oh

Once you asked me what I'm thinking?I lay back and think of EnglandDo you know the real answer?

"The Bucket"

I'll be the one to show you the wayYou'll be the one to always complain

3 in the morning come a bang bang bangAll out of fags and I just can't waitCancel the thing that I said I'd do

I don't feel comfortable talking to youUnless you got the zipper fixed on my shoe,

Then I'll be in the lobby drinking for two

18, balding, star, Golden, fallen, heart

Look at the shaky's whats with the blushFresh off the plane in my fuzzy rushEveryones gathered to idolize me,

I hate the way you talk your Japanese screamIt's been too long since I left the shed,

You kick the bucket and I'll swing my legsAlways remember the pact that we made,

Too young to die but old is the grave

I'm a gonna show the way

"I'm Not Alone"

Can you stay up for the weekendAnd blame God for looking too oldCan you find all that you stand for

Has been replaced with mountains of goldYou cannot dream yourself to notice

To feel pain and swallow fearBut can you stay up for the weekend

For next year

God, I can’t do this any moreThough I'll be laid down on the floorAs many feet walk through the door

I’m not alone

If I see a light flashingCould this mean that I’m coming home

If I see a man wavingDoes this mean that I’m not alone

If I see a light flashingCould this mean that I’m coming home

If I see a man wavingDoes this mean that I’m not alone

No?

If I see a light flashingCould this mean that I’m coming home

If I see a man wavingDoes this mean that I’m not alone

If I see a light flashingCould this mean that I’m coming home

If I see a man wavingDoes this mean that I’m not alone

"Jolene"

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, JoleneI'm begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, JolenePlease don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compareWith flaming locks of auburn hair

With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of springYour voice is soft like summer rain

And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleepThere's nothing I can do to keep

From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understandHow you could easily take my man

But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, JoleneI'm begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, JolenePlease don't take him just because you can

Whistle for a Choir

Well, it's a big, big city and it's always the same

Can never be too pretty, tell me your name

Is it out of line if I was to be bold

And say, "Would you be mine"?

Because I may be a beggar and you maybe the queen

I know I maybe on a downer I'm still ready to dream

Though it's 3 o'clock

The time is just the time it takes for you to talk

So if you're lonely why'd you say you're not lonely

Oh, you're a silly girl, I know I hurt you so

It's just like you to come and go

And know me, no, you don't even know me

You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye

A girl like you's just irresistible

Well, it's a big, big city and the lights are all out

But it's as much as I can do, you know I'll figure you out

And I must confess

My heart's in broken pieces and my head's a mess

And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along

Beside the ghost of every drinker here who's ever done wrong

And it's you, woo hoo

That's got me going crazy for the things you do

And so if you're crazy, I don't care you amaze me

But you're a stupid[Incomprehensible], oh me, oh my, you talk

I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry

Only a girl like you could be lonely

And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same

A boy like me's just irresistible

So if you're lonely why'd you say you're not lonely

Oh, you're a silly girl, I know I hurt it so

It's just like you to come and go

And know me, no, you don't even know me

You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye

A girl like you's just irresistible

Acid Jazz Singer

Well, let me tell you something, let me tell you soThis could be the one thing that you really need to know

You got to stop once in a while and shake off that face of yours'Cause nothing comes easy or it just comes free

You could sing it better if you'd sing it for me, oh sister

Well, I cannot claim this advice as my ownI learned it in the gutter one night coming home

She said, "Don't you look ridiculous?", I checked her out meticulouslyAnd I would've stopped to argue but my teeth were broke

I said, "I'd love to contradict you but my life's a joke, oh sister"

She said I'm no genius and I've lost myselfThe books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf

And it's one time keep it slow, wind them up and here we goGet it right today and you may still be here tomorrow

Some said she was saintly, to some she was a swingerMe, I only knew here as an acid jazz singer, come on

Well, I'm a lucky man and maybe so is sheAnd maybe this is just the way it has to be

It's all based on speculation, seems a crazy occupation to meAnd though I didn't much believe her I was bound to callI really didn't want to miss a single thing at all, oh sister

She said I'm no genius and I've lost myselfThe books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf

And it's one time keep it slow, wind them up and here we goGet it right today and you may still be here tomorrow

Some said she was saintly, to some she was a swingerMe, I only knew here as an acid jazz singer, come on

She said I'm no genius and I've lost myselfThe books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf

And it's one time keep it slow, wind them up and here we goGet it right today and you may still be here tomorrow

Some said she was saintly, to some she was a swingerMe, I only knew here as an acid jazz singer, come onWell, I haven't seen her lately, man I have to ring her

Put your hands together for the acid jazz singer, come on

Come on, come on, come onCome on, come on, come on

Everything you love turns to dustYou'd make more of it but you felt rushed

By all that's peripheryYou held tight but on the contrary

The trick to life is not to get too attached to itThe trick to life is not to get too attached to it

I'll sit back detached tear out your hairOh, but on the contrary

The trick to life is not to get too attached to itThe trick to life is not to get too attached to it

Everyone you love turns to dustYou'd jump off the edge but you felt pushed

By all that's unnecessaryYou tread but you're off on the wrong foot

The trick to life is not to get too attached to itThe trick to life is not to get too attached to itThe trick to life is not to get too attached to it

Don't get attached to, attached to lifeDon't get attached to, attached to life

Don't get-a, don't get-a attached to lifeDon't get attached, don't get a attached to life

The trick to life is not to get too attached to itThe trick to life is not to get too attached

Don't look your life passed you by'Cause you're too attached to it

"Misery"

Oh yeahOh yeah

So scared of breaking itThat you won't let it bend

And I wrote two hundred lettersI will never send

Sometimes these cuts are so much deeper than they seemYou'd rather cover up

I'd rather let them bleedSo let me be

And I'll set you free (Oh yeah)

I am in miseryThere ain't nobody who can comfort me (Oh yeah)

Why won't you answer me?The silence is slowly killing me (Oh yeah)

Girl, you really got me badYou really got me badI'm gonna get you backI'm gonna get you back

Your salty skin and howIt mixes in with mineThe way it feels to be

Completely intertwinedNot that I didn't careIt's that I didn't know

It's not what I didn't feel,It's what I didn't show

So let me beAnd I'll set you free

I am in miseryAnd there ain't nobody who can comfort me (Oh yeah)

Why won't you answer me?The silence is slowly killing me (Oh yeah)

Girl, you really got me badYou really got me badI'm gonna get you backI'm gonna get you back

You say your faith is shakenAnd you may be mistaken

To keep me wide awake and waiting for the sunI'm desperate and confused

So far away from youI'm getting there, I don't care where I have to run

Why do you do what you do to me, yeah?Why won't you answer me, answer me, yeah?

Why do you do what you do to me, yeah?Why won't you answer me, answer me, yeah?

I am in miseryThere ain't nobody who can comfort me (Oh yeah)

Why won't you answer me?The silence is slowly killing me (Oh yeah)

[3x]Girl you really got me bad

Loose Yourself

[Intro]Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity

To seize everything you ever wanted in one momentWould you capture it or just let it slip?

[Verse 1]Yo, his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

There is vomit on his sweater alreadyMoms spaggetti he's nervous

But on the surface he looks calm and readyTo drops bombs, but he keeps on forgetting

What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loudHe opens his mouth but the words won't come out

He's choking, how? Everybody's jokin' nowThe clock's run out, time's up, over BLOW!Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity

Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so madBut he won't give up that easy, no he won't have it

He knows his whole back's to these ropesIt don't matter, he's dope, he knows that

But he's broke, he's so sad that he knows When he goes back to this mobile homeThat's when it's back to the lab again, yo

This whole rhapsody, better go capture this moment And hope it don't collapse on him

[Chorus]You better lose yourself in the music

The moment you own it you better never let it go, ohYou only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

Cuz opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yoYou better lose yourself in the music

The moment you own it you better never let it go, ohYou only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

Cuz opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yoYou better

[Verse 2]Soul's escapin' through this hole's that is gaping

This world is mine for the takingMake me king as we move toward a new world order

A normal life is boringBut superstardom's close to post mortemIt only grows harder, homie grows hotter

He blows us all over, these hoes is all on himCoast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter

Lonely roads got himHe knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father

He goes home and barely knows his own daughterBut hold ya nose cuz here goes the cold water

These hoes don't want him no mo', he's called productThey moved on to the next shmo who flows

Who nose dove and sold nadaAnd so the so proper

His toll, it unfolds and I suppose it's old, partnerBut the beat goes on

Duh duh doe, duh doe, dah dah dah dah

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

No more games, I'ma change for due called rageTear this muthafuckin' roof off like two dogs cagedI was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed

I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stageBut I kept rhymin' and stepped writin' the next cipher

Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piperAll the pain inside amplified by the

Fact that I can't get by with my nine to fiveAnd I can't provide the right type of life for my family

Cuz, man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapersAnd there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Pfifer

This is my life and these times are so hardAnd it's gettin' even harder tryin' to feed and water

My seed plus teeter-totter Caught up between bein' a father and a pre-madonna

Baby momma drama, screamin' on herToo much for me to wanna stay in one spot

Another damn or not has gotten me to the pointI'm like a snail, I've got to formulate a plot

Or end up in jail or shotSuccess is my only muthafuckin' option, failure's not

Momma love you but this trailer's got to goI cannot grow old in Salem's Lot

So here I go, it's my shotFeet fail me not

This may be the only opportunity that I got

[Chorus]

[Outro]

Duh doo

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Who Knew

You took my hand, you showed me howYou promised me you'd be around

Uh huh, that's right

I took your words and I believedIn everything you said to me

Yeah huh, that's right

If someone said three years from nowYou'd be long gone

I'd stand up and punch them outâ€~Cause they're all wrong

I know betterâ€~Cause you said forever

And ever, who knew?

Remember when we were such foolsAnd so convinced and just too cool

Oh no, no no

I wish I could touch you againI wish I could still call you a friend

I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings nowFor they're long gone

I guess I just didn't know howI was all wrong

But they knew betterStill you said forever and ever

Who knew? Yeah yeah

I'll keep you locked in my headUntil we meet again

Until we, until we meet againAnd I won't forget you my friend

What happened?

If someone said three years from nowYou'd be long gone

I'd stand up and punch them outâ€~Cause they're all wrong

And that last kiss I'll cherishUntil we meet again

And time makes it harderI wish I could remember

But I keep your memoryYou visit me in my sleepMy darling, who knew?

My darlingMy darling, who knew?My darling I miss you

My darling, who knew?

Who knew?

Oh What a Night

Oh, what a nightLate December back in '63

What a very special time for meAs I remember what a night

Oh, what a nightYou know I didn't even know her name

But I was never gonna be the sameWhat a lady, what a night

Oh, I got a funny feelingWhen she walked in the room

And I, as I recallIt ended much too soon

Oh, what a nightHypnotizing, mesmerizing me

She was everything I dreamed she'd beSweet surrender, what a night

I felt a rushLike a rolling bolt of thunderSpinning my head aroundAnd taking my body under

(Oh what a night)

Oh, I got a funny feelingWhen she walked in the room

And I, as I recallIt ended much too soon

Oh, what a nightDoo, dit, doo, dit, ditDoo, dit, doo, dit, dit

Oh, what a nightDoo, dit, doo, dit, ditDoo, dit, doo, dit, dit

Oh, what a nightDoo, dit, doo, dit, ditDoo, dit, doo, dit, dit

Oh, what a nightDoo, dit, doo, dit, ditDoo, dit, doo, dit, dit

Oh, what a nightWhy'd it take so long to see the light?

Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so rightWhat a lady, what a night

I felt a rushLike a rolling bolt of thunder

Straining my head aroundAnd taking my body under

(Oh what a night)

I felt a rushLike a rolling bolt of thunderStraining my head aroundAnd taking my body under

Oh, what a nightDoo, dit, doo, dit, ditDoo, dit, doo, dit, dit

Oh, what a nightDoo, dit, doo, dit, ditDoo, dit, doo, dit, dit

Oh, what a nightDoo, dit, doo, dit, ditDoo, dit, doo, dit, dit

When Doves Cry

Dig if you will the pictureOf you and I engaged in a kiss

The sweat of your body covers meCan you my darling

Can you picture this?Dream if you can a courtyardAn ocean of violets in bloomAnimals strike curious poses

They feel the heatThe heat between me and you

How can you just leave me standing?Alone in a world that's so cold (So cold)

Maybe I'm just too demandingMaybe I'm just like my father too bold

Maybe you're just like my motherShe's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)

Why do we scream at each other?This is what it sounds like

When doves cry

Touch if you will my stomachFeel how it trembles inside

You've got the butterflies all tied upDon't make me chase you

Even doves have pride

How can you just leave me standing?Alone in a world so cold (World so cold)

Maybe I'm just too demandingMaybe I'm just like my father too bold

Maybe you're just like my motherShe's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)

Why do we scream at each other?This is what it sounds like

When doves cry

How can you just leave me standing?Alone in a world that's so cold (A world that's so cold)

Maybe I'm just too demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father)Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (Ya, know he's to bold)Maybe you're just like my mother (Maybe you're just like my

Mother)She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied)

Why do we scream at each other (Why do we scream, why?)This is what it sounds like

When doves cryWhen doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)

Don't Cry (Don't Cry)When doves cryWhen doves cryWhen doves cry

When Doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry, doves cryDon't cry

Darling don't cryDon't cryDon't cryDon't cry

How Will I Know

There's a boy I knowHe's the one I dream of

You Give Love a Bad Name

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
