Look
if you had
One shot
one opportunity
To seize everything
you ever wanted
One moment
would you capture it
Or just let it slip yo
his palms are sweaty
Knees weak arms
are heavy
There's vomit
on his sweater
Alredy mom's spaghetti
he's nervous
But on the surface
he looks calm
And ready
to drop bombs
But he keeps on
forgettin
What he wrote down
the whole crowd
Goes so loud yo
he open his mouth
But the words
won't come out
He's chokin how
everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out
time's up over bloah
Snap back to reality
oh there goes gravity
Oh there goes rabbit
he choked
He's so mad
but he won't
Give up that is he
no he won't have it
He knows his whole
back city's ropes
I don't matter
he's dope
He knows that
but he's broke
He's so stacked
that he knows
When he goes back
to his mobile home
That's when it's back
to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
he better go capture
This moment and
hope it don't pass him
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own
it you better
Never let it go ho
you only get one shot
Do not miss
your chance to blow
This opportunity
comes once
In a lifetime
you better
The soul's escaping
through this hole
That it's gaping
this world is mine
For the taking
make me king
As we move toward
a new world order
A normal life is borin
but superstardom's
Close to post mortar
it only grows harder
Only grows hotter
he blows us all over
These hoes is
all on him
Coast to coast shows
he's know
As the globetrotter
lonely roads
God only knows
he's know father
From home
he's no father
He goes home
and barely knows
His own daughter
but hold your nose
Cuz here
goes the cold water
His hoes don't want
him no mo
He's cold product
they moved on
To the next schmoe
who flows
He nose dove and
sold nada
So the soap opera is
told and unfolds
I suppose
it's old potna
But the beat goes on
da da dum de dom
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity comes
Once in a lifetime
you better
No more games
I'm a change
What you call rage
tear this mothafuckin
Roof off like
2 doas cased
I was playing
in the beginning
The mood all changed
I been chewed up
And spit out
and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin
and stepwritin
The next cypher
best believe
Somebody's payin
the pied piper
All the pain inside
amplified by the fact
That I can't get by
with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide
the right type of
Life for my family
cuz man
These goddam
food stamps
Don't buy diapers
and it's no movie
There's
no Mekhi phifer
This is my life
and these times
Are so hard
and it's getting
Even harder
trying to feed
And water my seed
plus see dishonor
Caught up between
bein a father
And a prima donna
baby mama drama's
Screamin on and
too much for me
To wanna stay
in one spot
Another jam or not
has gotten me
To the point
I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate
a plot fore
I end up in jail
or shot success is
My only mothafuckin
option failure's not
Mam I love you
but this trail has
Got to go
I cannot grow old
In salem's lot so
here I go is my shot
Feet fail me not
cuz maybe
The only opportunity
that I got
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Come once
in a lifetime
You better
you can do anything
You set your mind
to man-

Baby can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you
should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling
There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
baby give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it
Too high
can't come down
Losing my head
spinning
Round and round
do you feel me now
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
And I love
what you do
But you know
that you're toxic-

It's getting late
to give you up
I took a sip
from my devil's cup
Slowly
it's taking over me
Too high
can't come down
It's in the air
and it's all around
Can you
feel me now
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
And I love
what you do
But you know
that you're toxic
Don't you know
that you're toxic-

Taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic
I'm slipping under
With a taste of
a poison paradise
I'm addicted
to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
Intoxicate me now
with your loving now
I think
I'm ready now
(I think
I'm ready now)
Intoxicate me now
with your loving now
I think
I'm ready now-

Oh woo wo oh woo wo
oh woo wo~
You know you love me
I know you care
Just shout whenever
and I'll be there
You want my love
you want my heart
And we will never ever
ever be apart
Are we an item
girl quit playing
We're just friends
what are you saying
Said there's another
look right in my eyes
My first love
broke my heart
For the first time
and I was like
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Oh oh for you I would
have done whatever
And I just can't
believe
We ain't
together
And I wanna
play it cool
But I'm
losin' you
I'll buy you anything
I'll buy you any ring
And I'm in pieces
baby fix me
And just shake me
til' you
Wake me
from this bad dream
I'm going down down
down down
And I just can't
believe my first love
Would be around
and I'm like
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
When I was 13
I had my first love
There was nobody that
compared to my baby
And nobody came
between us
Or could ever
come above
She had me goin' crazy
oh I was star-struck
She woke me up
daily
Don't need no
Starbucks
She made
my heart pound
And skip
a beat
When I see her
in the street
And at school
on the playground
But I really wanna
see her on the weekend
She know
she got me gazin'
Cuz she was
so amazin'
And now my heart is
breakin'
But I just
keep on sayin'
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
Baby baby baby oh like
baby baby baby no like
Baby baby
baby oh
Thought you'd
always be mine mine
I'm gone
now I'm all gone
Now I'm all gone
now I'm all gone
I'm
gone

Here comes a wave
meant to wash me away
A tide that is
taking me under
Swallowing sand left
with nothing to say
My voice drowned out
in the thunder
But
I won't cry
And I won't start
to crumble
Whenever
they try
To shut me
or cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Written in stone
every rule every word
Centuries old
and unbending
Stay
in your place
Better seen
and not heard
Well now that story is
ending
'Cause I I cannot
start to crumble
So come on
and try
Try to shut me
and cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No I won't live
unspoken
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Try to lock me
in this cage
I won't just
lay me down and die
I will take these
broken wings
And watch me burn
across the sky
Hear the echo
saying
I won't
be silenced
Though you wanna
see me tremble
When
you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless

I wanna follow
where she goes
I think about her
and she knows it
I wanna let her
take control
'Cause every time that
she gets close yeah
She pulls me
in enough
To keep me guessing
mmm
And maybe
I should stop
And start confessing
confessing yeah
Oh I've been shaking
I love it
When you go
crazy
You take all
my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
You take me
places
That tear up
my reputation
Manipulate
my decisions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back
She says that
she's never afraid
Just picture
everybody naked
She really
doesn't like to wait
Not really
into hesitation
Pulls me
in enough
To keep me guessing
whoa
And maybe
I should stop
And start confessing
confessing yeah
Oh I've been shaking
I love it
When you go
crazy
You take all
my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
You take me
places
That tear up
my reputation
Manipulate
my decisions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back

'Cause
if we lost our minds
And we took it
way too far
I know
we'd be alright
Know
we would be alright
If you were
by my side
And we stumbled
in the dark
I know
we'd be alright
I know
we would be alright
'Cause
if we lost our minds
And we took it
way too far
I know
we'd be alright
I know
we would be alright
If you were
by my side
And we stumbled
in the dark
I know we'd be alright
we would be alright
Oh I've been shaking
I love it
When you go
crazy
You take all
my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
You take me
places
That tear up
my reputation
Manipulate
my decisions
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back
There's nothing
holdin' me back
I feel
so free
When you're with me
baby
Baby there's nothing
holdin' me back

Comin' over
in my direction
So thankful
for that
It's such a blessin'
yeah
Turn every situation
into heaven yeah
Oh you are my sunrise
on the darkest day
Got me feelin'
some kind of way
Make me wanna
savour
Every moment slowly
slowly
You fit me tailor-made
love how you put it on
Got the only key know
how to turn it on
The way you nibble
on my ear
The only words
I wanna hear
Baby take it slow
so we can last long
Tu tu eres el iman
y yo soy el metal
Me voy acercando
y voy armando el plan
Solo con pensarlo
se acelera el pulso
Oye
ya ya me esta gustando
Mas de
lo normal
Todos mis sentidos
van pidiendo mas
Esto hay que tomarlo
sin ningun apuro
Despacito
quiero respirar
Tu cuello
despacito
Deja que te diga
cosas al oido
Para que te acuerdes
si no estas conmigo
Despacito
quiero desnudarte
A besos
despacito
Firmo en las paredes
de tu laberinto
Y hacer de tu cuerpo
todo un manuscrito
Quiero ver bailar
tu pelo
Quiero
ser tu ritmo
Que le ensenes
a mi boca
Tus lugares
favoritos
Dejame sobrepasar
tus zonas de peligro
Hasta provocar
tus gritos
Y que olvides
tu apellido
Si te pido un beso
ven damelo
Yo se que estas
pensandolo
Llevo tiempo
intentandolo
Mami esto es dando
y dandolo
Sabes
que tu corazon
Conmigo te hace
bang-bang
Sabes
que esa beba
Esta buscando de mi
bang-bang
Ven prueba de mi boca
para ver como te sabe
Quiero quiero
quiero
Ver cuanto amor
a ti te cabe
Yo no tengo
prisa
Yo me quiero
dar el viaje
Empecemos lento
despues salvaje
Pasito a pasito
suave suavecito
Nos vamos pegando
poquito a poquito
Cuando tume besas
con esa destreza
Veo que eres malicia
con delicadeza
Pasito a pasito
suave suavecito
Nos vamos pegando
poquito a poquito
Y es que esa belleza
es un rompecabezas
Pero pa' montarlo
aqui tengo
La pieza
oye
Despacito
quiero respirar
Tu cuello
despacito
Deja que te diga
cosas al oido
Para que te acuerdes
si no estas conmigo
Despacito
quiero desnudarte
A besos
despacito
Firmo en las paredes
de tu laberinto
Y hacer de tu cuerpo
todo un manuscrito
Quiero ver bailar
tu pelo
Quiero
ser tu ritmo
Que le ensenes
a mi boca
Tus lugares
favoritos
Dejame sobrepasar
tus zonas de peligro
Hasta provocar
tus gritos
Y que olvides
tu apellido
Despacito
this is
How we do it down
in Puerto Rico
I just wanna hear you
screaming "Ay Bendito"
I can move forever
cuando este contigo
Pasito a pasito
suave suavecito
Nos vamos pegando
poquito a poquito
Que le ensenes
a mi boca
Tus lugares
favoritos
Pasito a pasito
suave suavecito
Nos vamos pegando
poquito a poquito
Hasta provocar
tus gritos
Y que olvides
tu apellido(despacito)

I'm not a stranger
to the dark
Hide away
they say
'Cause we don't want
your broken parts
I've learned
to be ashamed
Of all my scars
run away they say
No one'll love you
as you are
But I won't let them
break me down to dust
I know that
there's a place for us
For
we are glorious
When
the sharpest words
Wanna
cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood
gonna drown 'em out
I am brave
I am bruised
I am who I'm meant
to be this is me
Look out
'cause here I come
And I'm marchin' on
to the beat I drum
I'm not scared
to be seen
I make no apologies
this is me
Oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
Another round of
bullets hits my skin
Well fire away
'cause today
I won't
let the shame sink in
We are burstin'
through the barricades
And reachin'
for the sun
(We are
warriors)
Yeah that's
what we've become
I won't let them
break me down to dust
I know that
there's a place for us
For
we are glorious
When
the sharpest words
Wanna
cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood
gonna drown 'em out
I am brave
I am bruised
I am who I'm meant
to be this is me
Look out
'cause here I come
And I'm marchin' on
to the beat I drum
I'm not scared
to be seen
I make no apologies
this is me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
this is me
And I know that
I deserve your love
There's nothing
I'm not worthy of
When
the sharpest words
Wanna
cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood
gonna drown 'em out
This is brave
this is bruised
This is who I'm meant
to be this is me
Look out
'cause here I come
And I'm marchin' on
to the beat I drum
I'm not scared
to be seen
I make no apologies
this is me
Whenever the words
wanna cut me down
I'll send the flood
to drown 'em out
I'm gonna send a flood
gonna drown 'em out
Oh
this is me

Wish
I could
I could've said
goodbye
I would've said
what I wanted to
Maybe even
cried for you
If I knew it would be
the last time
I would've broke
my heart in two
Tryin' to save
a part of you
Don't wanna feel
another touch
Don't wanna start
another fire
Don't wanna know
another kiss
No other name
falling off my lips
Don't wanna give
my heart away
To another
stranger
Or let another day
begin
Won't even
let the sunlight in
No I'll never love
again
I'll never love again
woo
When
we first met
I never thought
that I would fall
I never thought
that I'd find myself
Lying
in your arms
And I want to pretend
that it's not true
Oh baby
that you're gone
'Cause my world keeps
turning and turning
And turning
and I'm not moving on
Don't wanna feel
another touch
Don't wanna start
another fire
Don't wanna know
another kiss
No other name
falling off my lips
Don't wanna
give my heart away
To another
stranger
Or let another day
begin
Won't even
let the sunlight in
No I'll never
love
I don't wanna know
this feeling
Unless
it's you and me
I don't wanna
waste a moment woo
And I don't wanna give
somebody else
The better
part of me
I would rather
wait for you woo
Don't wanna feel
another touch
Don't wanna start
another fire
Don't wanna know
another kiss
Baby unless
they are your lips
Don't wanna
give my heart away
To another
stranger
Don't let another day
begin
Won't
let the sunlight in
Oh I'll never love
again
Never love again
never love again
Oh I'll never love
again

I heard that you're
settled down
That you found a girl
and you're married now
I heard that your
dreams came true
Guess she
gave you things
I didn't
give to you
Old friend
why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to
hold back
Or hide
from the light
I hate to turn up out
of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't
stay away
I couldn't
fight it
I had hoped you'd
see my face
And that you'd be
reminded
That for me
it isn't over
Never mind I'll find
someone like you
I wish nothing but
the best for you too
Don't forget me
I begged
I remember
you said
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
You know how the
time flies only
Yesterday was the
time of our lives
We were born
and raised
In a summer haze
bound by the surprise
Of our
glory days
I hate to turn up out
of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't
stay away
I couldn't
fight it
I had hoped you'd
see my face
And that you'd be
reminded
That for me
it isn't over
Never mind I'll find
someone like you
I wish nothing but
the best for you too
Don't forget me
I begged
I remember
you said
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Nothing compares
no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
they're memories made
Who would have known
how bittersweet
This would
taste
Never mind I'll find
someone like you
I wish nothing but
the best for you
Don't forget me
I begged
I remember
you said
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Never mind I'll find
someone like you
I wish nothing but
the best for you too
Don't forget me
I begged
I remember
you said
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts
in love
But sometimes
it hurts instead

I'm at a payphone
trying to call home
All of my change
I spent on you
Where have the
times gone
Baby it's
all wrong
Where are the plans
we made for two yeah
I I know it's
hard to remember
The people
we used to be
It's even
harder to picture
That you're not
here next to me
You say it's too late
to make it
But is it
too late to try
And in our time
that you wasted
All of our bridges
burned down
I've wasted
my nights
You turned
out the lights
Now
I'm paralyzed
Still stuck
in that time
Where we
called it love
But even the
sunsets in paradise
I'm at a payphone
trying to call home
All of my change
I spent on you
Where have the
times gone
Baby it's
all wrong
Where are the plans
we made for two
If happy ever
after did exist
I would still be
holding you like this
All those fairy tales
are full of xhit
One more xucking
love song I'll be sick
You turned your
back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot
yesterday
I gave you
my love to borrow
But you just
gave it away
You can't expect me
to be fine
I don't expect
you to care
I know
I've said it before
But all of our bridges
burned down
I've wasted
my nights
You turned
out the lights
Now
I'm paralyzed
Still stuck
in that time
Where we
called it love
But even the
sunsets in paradise
I'm at a payphone
trying to call home
All of my change
I spent on you
Where have the
times gone
Baby it's
all wrong
Where are the plans
we made for two
If happy ever
after did exist
I would still be
holding you like this
And all those fairy
tales are full of xhit
One more xucking
love song I'll be sick
Now
I'm at a payphone
Man xuck that
xhit
I'll be out spending
all this money
While you're sitting
round wondering
Why it
wasn't you
Who came up
from nothing
Made it
from the bottom
Now when you see me
I'm stunning
And all of
my cars start
With a
push of a button
Telling me
the chances
I blew up or
whatever you call it
Switch the
number to my phone
So you never
could call it
Don't need my name
on my show
You can tell it
I'm ballin'
Swish what a shame
could have got picked
Had a really
good game
But you missed
your last shot
So you talk about
who you see at the top
Or what you
could have saw
But sad to say
it's over for
Phantom pulled up
valet open doors
Wiz like
go away
Got what you was
looking for
Now it's me
who they want
So you can go
and take that little
Piece of xhit
with you
I'm at a payphone
trying to call home
All of my change
I spent on you
Where have the
times gone
Baby it's
all wrong
Where are the plans
we made for two
If happy ever
after did exist
I would still be
holding you like this
All those fairy tales
are full of xhit
One more xucking
love song I'll be sick
Now
I'm at a payphone

I'm sitting here
in a boring room
It's just another
rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever
happens and I wonder
I'm driving around
in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change
my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing
ever happens
And I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head
up and down
I'm turning turning
turning turning
Turning around
and all that I can see
Is just
another lemon tree
Sing da
da da da da dee da da
Da da da da dee da da
da da da da
I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out
taking a shower
But there's a heavy
cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
put myself into bed
Where nothing
ever happens
And I wonder
Isolation
Is not good for me
Isolation
I don't want to
sit on a lemon tree
I'm stepping around
in a desert of joy
Baby any how
I'll get another toy
And everything
will happen
And you'll wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head
up and down
I'm turning turning
turning turning
Turning around
and all that I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree
Yellow wonder wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me
About the
blue blue sky
And all that I can see
and all that I can see
And all that
I can see
Is just
a yellow lemon tree

One touch
and you got me stoned
Higher
than I've ever known
You call the shots
and I'll follow
Sunrise but the
night's still young
No words but we're
speaking tongues
If you let me
I might say too much
Your touch
blurred my vision
It's your world
and I'm just in it
Even sober I'm not
thinking straight
'Cause I'm off my face
in love with you
I'm out my head
so into you
And I don't know
how you do it
But I'm forever ruined
by you woo woo woo
Can't sleep 'cause
I'm way too buzzed
Too late now
you're in my blood
I don't hate the way
you keep me up
Your touch
blurred my vision
It's your world
and I'm just in it
Even sober I'm not
thinking straight
'Cause I'm off my face
in love with you
I'm out my head
so into you
And I don't know
how you do it
But I'm forever ruined
by you woo woo woo

'Cause I'm off my face
in love with you
I'm out my head
so into you
And I don't know
how you do it
But I'm forever ruined
by you woo woo woo
By you
woo woo woo

I was so high
I did not recognize
The fire burning
in her eyes
The chaos that
controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye
and she got on a plane
Never to return again
but always in my heart
Oh this love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I tried my best
to feed her appetite
Keep her coming
every night
So hard to keep
her satisfied oh
Kept playing love like
it was just a game
Pretending
to feel the same
Then turn around
and leave again but oh
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I'll fix these
broken things
Repair your
broken wings
And make sure
everything's alright
My pressure
on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
into every inch of you
'Cause I know that's
what you want me to do
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And my heart
is breaking
In front of me
she said goodbye
Too many times
before
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore-

I think I'm drowning
asphyxiated
I wanna break
the spell
That you've created
you're something
Beautiful
a contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
You will be
the death of me
Yeah you will be
the death of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
And our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out

I wanted freedom
bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted
Now that you know
I'm trapped
Since ovulation
you'd never dream of
Breaking
this fixation
You will squeeze
the life out of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
But our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out
How did it
come to this
Ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah ooh yeah

Yeah you will suck
the life out of me
Bury it I won't
let you bury it
I won't let you
smother it
I won't let you
murder it
And our time is
running out
And our time is
running out
You can't push it
underground
You can't stop it
screaming out
How did it
come to this
Ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
yeah yeah ooh yeah

No I can't forget
this evening
Or your face
as you were leaving
But I guess
that's just the way
The story
goes
you always smile
but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
yes it shows
No I can't forget
tomorrow
When I think
of all my sorrow
When I had you there
but then I let you go
And now it's only fair
that I should
Let you know
what you should know
I can't live
if living is
Without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is
without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
Well I can't forget
this evening
Or your face
as you were leaving
But I guess
that's just the way
The story
goes
You always smile
but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
yes it shows
I can't live
if living is
Without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is
without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
(No I can't live
no I can't live)
No I can't live
if living is
Without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live

I don't know you
but I want you
All the more
for that
Words fall through me
always fool me
And I
can't react
And games that
never amount to
More than they're
meant will play
Themselves
out
Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still
got time
Raise your
hopeful
Voice you
have a choice
You've
make it now
Falling slowly
eyes that know me
And I can't
go back
And moods
that take me
And erase me
and I'm painted black
You have
suffered enough
And warred
with yourself
It's time
that you won
Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still
got time
Raise your hopeful
voice you
Had a choice
you've made it now
Falling slowly
sing your melody
I'll sing along
oh oh

The old home town
looks the same
As I step down
from the train
And there to meet me
is my Mama and Papa
And down the road
I look and
There runs mary
Hair of gold and
Lips like cherries
It's good to touch
The green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to meet me
Arms a reaching
smiling sweetly
It's good to touch
the green green
grass of home
The old house
is still standing
Though the paint
is cracked and dry
and there's that
Old oak tree that
I used to play on
Down the lane I walk
with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and
lips like cherries
It's good to touch the
green green
grass of home
Then I awake
And look around me
at four grey walls
That surround me
and I realize
Yes that I was only
dreamming
For there's a guard
and there's a sad
Old padre Arm in arm
we'll walk
At daybreak again
I'll touch the
Green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to see me
In the shade of
that old oak tree
As they lay me
beneath the
Green green
grass of home-

Sally called
when she got the word
She said "I suppose
you've heard
but Alice"
Well I rushed to
the window and I
liked outside
Well I could hardly
believe my eyes
as a big limousine
rolled up
into Alice's drive
oh I don't know
why she's leaving or
where she's gonna go
I guess she's got
her reasons
but I just don't
wanna know
cause for twenty
four years
I've been
living next door
to Alice
Twenty four
years just waiting
for a chance
to tell her how
I feel and maybe
get a second glance
Now I gotta get used
to not living next
door to Alice
We grow up together
two kids in park
Caved our initials
deep in the park
mean Alice
Now she walks
through the door
with her head held high
Just for a moment
I caught her eyes
as a big limousine
pulled slowly
out of Alice's drive
Oh I don't know
why she's leaving or
where she's gonna go
I guess she's
got her reasons
but I just don't
wanna know
cause for twenty
four years
I've been
living next door
to Alice
Twenty four
years just waiting
for a chance
to tell her how
I feel and maybe
get a
second glance
Now I gotta
get used to not
living next door
to Alice
Then sally called back
and asked how I felt
She said
"I know how to help
get over Alice"
She said
"Now Alice is gone
but I'm still here
You know I've been
waiting twenty
four years"
And the big
limousine disappeared
I don't know
why she's leaving or
where she's gonna go
I guess she's got
her reasons
but I just don't
wanna know
cause for twenty
four years
I've been
living next door
to Alice
Twenty four years
just waiting
for a chance
to tell her how
I feel and maybe
get a
second glance
But I'll never
get used to not
living next door
to Alice
No I'll never get
used to not
living next door
to Alice.

There is a house
in New Orleans
They call the
rising sun
And it's been the ruin
of many a poor boy
And Go I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my
new blue jeans
My father was
a gamblin' man
Down in
New Orleans
Now the only thing
a gambler needs
Is a suitcase
and a trunk
And the only time
he'll be satisfied
Is when he's all
a drunk

Oh mother
tell your children
Not to do
what I have done
spend your lives
in sin and misery
In the house
of the rising sun
Well I've got one
foot on the platform
The other
foot on the train
I'm going back to
New Orleans
To wear that ball
and chain
Well there is
a house in New Orleans
They call
the rising sun
And It's been the ruin
of many a poor boy
And God I know
I'm one

Well today
I'm so weary
Today I'm
so blue
Sad and
broken hearted
And it's all
because of you
Life was
so sweet dear
Life was
a song
Now you've gone
and left me
Oh where
do I belong
And it's
all for the love
Of a dear
little girl
All for
the love
That sets your heart
in a whirl
I'm a man
who'd give his life
And the joys
of this world
All for the love
of a girl

And it's
all for the love
Of a dear
little girl
All for
the love
That sets your heart
in a whirl
I'm a man
who'd give his life
And the joys
of this world
All for the love
of a girl
