Time it needs time
To win back your
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love only love
can bring back
your love someday
I will be there
I will be there-

I'll fight babe
I'll fight
To win back your
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love only love
Can break down
the walls someday
I will be there
I will be there
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The thing that killed
our love
your pride has
built a wall
So strong That
I can't get through
Is there really
no chance
To start once again
I'm loving you-

Try babe try
To trust in my
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love our love
Just shouldn't
be throw
away I will be there
I will be there
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The thing that killed
our love
your pride has
built a wall
So strong That
I can't get through
Is there really
no chance
To start once again
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed
our love
Yes I've hurt you pride
and I know what
you've been through
You should give me
a chance
This can't be the end
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you--
I need your love
I'm still loving you---

I'm still loving you--
I need your love
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you---

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind
of change
on August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind
of change.

The world is closing in
did you ever think
That we could be so
close like brothers
the future's in the air
I can feel it
everywhere
Blowing with the wind
of change
Take me to the
magic of the moment
on a glory night
Where the children of
tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories Are
buried in the past
forever
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind
of change
Take me to the
magic of the moment
on a glory night
Where the children of
tomorrow share their
dreams with you and me
Take me to the
magic of the moment
on a glory night
Where the children of
tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
The wind of change
blow straight
into the face of time
Like a storm wind
that will ring
the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your
balalaika sing
What my Guitar
wants to say.

Take me to the
magic of the moment
on a glory night
Where the children of
tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
Take me to the
magic of the moment
on a glory night
Where the children of
tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change.

Perhaps love is like
a resting place
A shelter
from the storm
It exists to give you
comfort it is
There to keep you Warm
And in those times
of trouble when
you are most alone
The memory of love will
bring you home
Perhaps love
is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you
to come closer
It Wants
to show you more
And even if you
lose yourself
and don't know
what to do
The memory of love will
see you thru
Oh love to some is
like a cloud
To some
as strong as steel
For some a way
of living For
some a way to feel
And some say love
is holding on
And some say
letting go
And some say love
is ev'rything
some say they
don't know
perhaps love
is like the ocean
Full of conflict
full of pain
Like a fire
When it's cold outside
Thunder when
it rains If I should
live forever
And all my dreams
come true
My memories
of love will
be of you.

And some say love is
holding on
And some say
letting go
And some say love
is ev'rything
some say they
don't know
Perhaps love
is like the ocean
Full of conflict
full of pain
Like a fire
When it's cold outside
Thunder when
it rains If I should
live forever
And all my dreams
come true
My memories
of love will be of you.

If I'm gonna
break down
I'ma break down pretty
yeah I love myself
But I hate this city
oh why
I'm running out
of crazy
Are you entertained

Drown myself
in champagne tears
Yeah I know too much
at 19 years
They took my soul
as a souvenir
But the show
goes on
Beach blonde hair
on the bathroom floor
'Cause I don't wanna
be her no more
But they keep banging
on the hotel door
So the show
goes on
If I'm gonna
break down
I'ma break down pretty
yeah I love myself
But I hate this city
oh why
I'm running out
of crazy
Are you entertained

I'm running out
of crazy
Are you entertained

Take what's left
of my confidence
And
I hold it high
Even though
I'm spending
Surrounded by people
building me up
10,000 feet just
to watch me fall off
You're dxxxxx
if you do
You're dxxxxx
if you don't
You're dxxxxx
if you will
You're dxxxxx
if you won't
But the show

If I'm gonna

(the show goes on)

You know
I want you
It's not a secret
I try to hide
I know
you want me
So don't keep saying
our hands are tied
You claim
it's not in the cards
But fate is pulling
you miles away
And out of reach
from me
But you're here
in my heart
So who can stop me
if I decide
That you're
my destiny
What if we
rewrite the stars
Say you were
made to be mine
Nothing could
keep us apart
You'd be the one
I was meant to find
It's up to you
and it's up to me
No one can say
what we get to be
So why don't we
rewrite the stars
Maybe the world
could be ours tonight
You think
it's easy
You think I don't want
to run to you
But there are
mountains
And there are
doors
That we can't
walk through
I know
you're wondering why
Because
we're able to be
Just you and me
within these walls
But when we go
outside
You're gonna wake up
and see that
It was hopeless
after all
No one can
rewrite the stars
How can you say
you'll be mine
Everything
keeps us apart
And I'm not the one
you were meant to find
It's not up to you
it's not up to me
When everyone tells us
what we can be
How can we
rewrite the stars
Say that the world
can be ours tonight
All I want is to fly
with you
All I want is to fall
with you
So just give me
all of you
It feels impossible
it's not impossible
Is it impossible
say that it's possible
How do we
rewrite the stars
Say you were
made to be mine
Nothing can
keep us apart
'Cause you are the one
I was meant to find
It's up to you
and it's up to me
No one can say
what we get to be
Why don't we
rewrite the stars
Changing the world
to be ours
You know
I want you
It's not a secret
I try to hide
But I can't
have you
We're bound to break
and my hands are tied

Dog goes woof
cat goes meow
Bird goes tweet
and mouse goes squeek
Cow goes moo
frog goes croak
And the elephant goes
toot
Ducks say quack
and fish go blub
And the seal goes
ow ow ow
But there's one sound
that no one knows
What does the fox
say
Gering-ding-ding-ding-
dingeringeding
Gering-ding-ding-
dingeringeding
Gering-ding-ding-ding-
dingeringeding

Joff-joff-joff-joff-
tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff
What the fox
say
Big blue eyes
pointy nose
Chasing mice
and digging holes
Tiny paws
up the hill
Suddenly you're
standing still
Your fur is red
so beautiful
Like an angel
in disguise
But if you meet
a friendly horse
Will you communicate
by mo-o-o-o-orse
Mo-o-o-o-orse
mo-o-o-o-orse
How will you speak
to that ho-o-o-o-orse
Ho-o-o-o-orse

What the fox

Ah woo~

What does the fox
say
The secret of the fox
ancient mystery
Somewhere deep
in the woods
I know
you're hiding
What is your sound
will we ever know
Will always
be a mystery
What do you
say
You're
my guardian angel
Hiding
in the woods
What is your sound
will we ever know
I want to know
I want to know
I want
to know

Uhm uhm
uhm uh uhm uhm
Some people live
for the fortune
Some people live
just for the fame
Some people live
for the power yeah
Some people live
just to play the game
Some people think that
the physical things
Define
what's within
And I been
there before
But that
life's a bore
So full
of the superficial
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got
you baby
Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you yeah
Some people search
for a fountain
That promises
forever young
Some people need
three dozen roses
And that's
the only way
To prove you love him
hand me the world
On a silver platter
and what
Good would it be
with no one to share
With no one who truly
cares for me
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got
you baby
Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you you you
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got

Some people want

Whole wide world

If I ain't got you
with me baby-

Fly me to the moon
and let me
Play among the stars
let me see what spring
Is like on
Jupiter and Mars
In other words
hold my hand
In other words

Fill my heart with
song and let me sing
Forever more
you are all I long
For all I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-

song and let me sing
Forever more

For all I worship
and adore
In other words
please be true
In other words
I love you-
In other words
I love you-

Here I stand
all alone
Have my mind
turned to stone
Have my heart
filled up with ice
To avoid
it's breakin' twice
Thanks to you
my dear old friend
But you can't help
this is the end
Of a tale
that wasn't right
I won't have no sleep
tonight
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain
It's alright
we'll stay friends
Trustin'
in my confidence
And let's say
it's just alright
You won't sleep alone
tonight
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain-

With my heart
with my soul
Some guys cry
you bought and sold
They've been strong
young and bold
And they say play
this song again
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain-

I see the
crystal raindrops fall
And the
beauty of it all
Is when the sun
comes shining through
To make those
rainbows in my mind
When I think
of you some time
And I want to spend
some time with you
Just the two of us
we can make it
If we try
just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
Building castles
in the sky
Just the two of us
you and I
We look for love
no time for tears
Wasted waters's
all that is
And it don't make no
flowers grow
Good things might
come to those
Who wait not to those
who wait to late
We got to go
for all we know
Just the two of us
we can make it
If we try
just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
Building castles
in the sky
Just the two of us
you and I

I hear the crystal
raindrops fall
On the window
down the hall
And it becomes
the morning dew
Darling, when the
morning comes
And I see
the morning sun
I want to be
the one with you
Just the two of us
we can make it
If we try
just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
Building castles
in the sky
Just the two of us
you and I
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
(We can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
just the two of us
(we can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the two of us
we can make it)
(Just the two of us
just the two of us)
(We can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the two of us
we can make it)
(Just the two of us
just the two of us)
(We can make it
just the two of us)
(Just the
two of us)

Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you
think my
collection's
complete?
Wouldn't you
think I'm the girl
The girl who
has ev'rything
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders
can one cavern hold?
Looking around
here you'd think
sure She's got
ev'rything
I've got gadgets
and gizmos aplenty
I've got who-zits
and what-zits galore
You want
the thing amabobs
I've got
twenty
But who cares? No
big deal I want more
I wanna be where
the people are
I wanna see wanna
see'em dancin'
Walkin'
around on those
What-d-ya call
'em oh feet
Flippin' your fins
you don't get too far
Legs are required for
jumpin' dancin'
Strollin' along
down the
What's that
word again street
Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay
all day in the sun
Wanderin' free wish
I could be
part of
that world
What would
I give if I could
live outta
these waters
What would
I pay to
spend a day
warm on the sand
Betcha on land
they understand
Bet they
don't reprimand
their
daughters
Bright
young women
sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
And ready to know
what the people know
Ask'em my questions
and get some answers
What's a
fire and why
does it what's
the word burn
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
love to explore
that shore up above
Out at the
sea wish
I could be
part of that world

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-

Tryna feel
something real
To cry again
they say the artist
Needs tears
to write again
'Cause all of
my favorite stories
End in some
kind of catastrophe
But I don't need
someone to save me
'Cause this music and
I will never die
It's such
a fxxxxx situation
Petal
in the pavement
Just as long as she
keeps getting it right
Heartbreak won't bite
here in paradise
This is such a
convenient conflation
This record
in rotation
Long as she gets
the ovation each night
Heartbreak won't bite
this is paradise
I hear them all say
ooh ooh ooh ooh
They say
ooh ooh ooh ooh
Tell me
who's to blame
Is it the people or
myself? yep
But this time feels so
very different
This is not a cry
for help
A couple million
for my thoughts
I've got plenty
but I am not
The victim bxxxx
I'm practically
Drowning
in my blessings
It's bye
this time for real
Tired of painting
endless pictures of
A life
that isn't mine
Trying different boys
on for size
If this is my curse
I'll let it ride ride
'Cause all of
my favorite stories
End in some
kind of catastrophe
But I don't need
someone to save me
'Cause this music and
I will never die
It's such
a fxxxxx situation
Petal
in the pavement
Just as long as she
keeps getting it right
Heartbreak won't bite
here in paradise
This is such a
convenient conflation
This record
in rotation
Long as she gets
the ovation each night
Heartbreak won't bite
this is paradise
I hear them all say
ooh ooh ooh ooh
They say
ooh ooh ooh ooh
I hear them all say
ooh ooh ooh
They say
ooh ooh ooh ooh

A hot summer night
fell like a net
I've gotta find
my baby yet
I need you
to soothe my head
Turn my blue
heart to red
Doctor doctor

of loving you
No pill's gonna

I've got a bad case

A pretty face don't

Doctor doctor

You had me down

smile of judas

knock on wood
I've got it bad
and I've got it good
Doctor doctor

I've got a bad case

No pill's gonna

She's faced
the hardest times
You could imagine
and many times
Her eyes fought back
the tears
And when
her youthful world
Was about to fail in
each time
Her slender shoulders
wore the weight
Of all her fears
and a sorrow
No one hears
still rings
In midnight silence
in her ears
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free and
gentle flower
Growing wild
and if by chance
I should hold her
let me hold her
For a time
but if allowed
Just one possession
I would pick her
From the garden
to be mine-

Mm be careful
how you touch her
For she'll awaken
and sleeps
The only freedom
that she knows
And when you look
into her eyes
You won't believe
the way she's always
Paying for a dept
she never owed
And a silent wind
still blows
That only she can hear
and so she goes
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
She's a flower
growing wild-

For a while
there it was rough
But lately
I've been doin' better
Than the last
four cold
Decembers
I recall
And I see my family
every month
I found a girl
my parents love
She'll come and stay
the night
And I think
I might have it all
And I thank God
every day
For the girl
he sent my way
But I know
the things
He gives me
he can take away
And I hold you
every night
And that's a feelin'
I wanna get used to
But there's no man
as terrified
As the man who stands
to lose you
Oh I hope
I don't lose you
Uhm please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Oh woo
please don't take
I found my mind
I'm feelin' sane
It's been
a while
But I'm findin'
my faith
If everything's good
and it's great
Why do I sit and wait
'til it's gone
Oh I'll tell ya
I know I've got enough
I've got peace
and I've got love
But I'm up
at night
Thinkin' I just might
lose it all
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got oh woo
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
I need
These beautiful things
that I've got

When you're weary
feelin' small
When tears are in
your eyes
I'll dry them all -
I'm on your side
oh when times -
get rough - -
And friends just can't
be found
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down
and out
when you're on
the street
When evening falls
so hard
I will comfort you -
I'll take your part
oh when darkness
comes - -
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over
Troubled
water I will
lay me down.

Sail on silver girl
sail on by
Your time has come
to shine
All your dreams are
on their way
See how they shine
oh if you need a
friend
I'm sailing right
behind
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over
troubled water
I will ease
your mind - - -.

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
