Desperado
why don't you come to
Your senses
you've been out
Ridin fences
for so long now
Oh you're a hard one
but I know that
You've got
your reasons
These things
that are pleasin'
You can hurt you
somehow
Don't you draw
the Queen of diamonds
Boy she'll beat you
if she's able
You know
the Queen of hearts
Is always
your best bet
Now it seems to me
some fine things
Have been laid
upon your table
But you only
want the ones
You can't get
desperado
Oh you ain't
gettin no younger
Your pain and
your hunger
They're drivin
you home
And freedom
oh freedom
Well that's just
some people talkin'
Your prison is
walking through
This world all alone
don't you
Feet get cold
in the wintertime
The sky won't snow
and the sun
Won't shine
it's hard to tell
The night time
from the day
And you're losin all
your highs and lows
Ain't it funny
how the feelin
Goes away
desperado
Why don't you
come to your senses
Come down
from your fences
Open the gates
it may be rainin
But there's a rainbow
above you
You'd better
let somebody love you
(Let somebody
love you)
You'd better
let somebody love you
Before
it's too late-

Touch by touch
you're my
all time lover
skin to skin
come on down
my cover-

When I feel the
time is right
and you're
staying by my side
and the love
give to me
makes my heart beat
when my
fantasies fly away
but my
feeling makes me stay
I see the fire
in your eyes
It makes my
heart beat
Do it just do
do it night and day
you're my
all time lover
Do it just do
do it in away
like there is
no other
touch by touch
you're my
all time lover
skin to skin
Come on down my cover-

When my heart is full
of my love
it makes me
a trembling down
Love's the games
that we play
now we make
When our love
is clear and bright
It's our way
to see the light
There's a fire
in our heart
night and day
Do it just do
do it night and day
you're my
all time lover
do it just do
do it in away
like there is
no other
Touch by touch
you're my
all time lover
skin to Skin
Come on down
my cover-

Do it just do
do it night and day

all time lover

you're my
all time lover
Do it just do
do it in away
like there is
no other
Touch by touch
you're my
all time lover
skin to skin
Come on down my cover-

When I was young
I'd listen to the
radio waitin' for my
fav'rite songs
when they played
I'd sing along it
made me smile
Those were such happy
times and not so
long ago how I
wondered where
they'd gone
But they're back
again just like a
long lost friend all
the songs I love
so well Ev'ry
sha la la la ev'ry
wo wo still shine
Ev'ry shing a ling
a ling that they're
startin' to sing
so fine
When they get to the
part where he's
breaking her heart it
can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday
once more
Lookin' back on how it
was in years
gone by and the good
times that I had
makes today
seem rather sad
so much has changed
It was songs of love
that I would sing
to them and
I'd memories each word
Those old melodies
still lost so good
to me as they melt
the years away
Ev'ry sha la la la
ev'ry wo wo still shine
Ev'ry shing a ling
a ling that they're
startin' to sing
so fine
All my best memories
come back clearly
to me some can even
make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday
once more
Ev'ry Sha la la la
ev'ry wo wo still
shines
Ev'ry shing a ling
a ling that they're
startin' to sing
so fine
Ev'ry Sha la la la
ev'ry wo wo still
shines-

I can see the pain
living in your eyes
And I know how
hard you try
You deserve to have
so much more
I can feel your hurt
and I sympathize
And I'll never
critisize
All you ever meant
to my life-
I don't want to
let you down
I don't want to
lead you on
I don't want to
hold you back from
Where you might
belong
You would
never ask me why
My heart is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would- rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left to say
But goodbye
ah- goodbye-
You deserve a chance
at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm
worthy of
Losing you is painful
for me
I don't want to
let you down
I don't want to
lead you on
I don't want to
hold you back
From where you
might belong
You would never
ask me why
My heart is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left to say-
But
goodbye-

You would never
ask me why
My hurt is
so disguised
I just can't
live a lie anymore
I would- rather
hurt myself
Than to ever
make you cry
There's nothing
left you try
No it's gonna
hurt us both
There's no other way
than to say goodbye
Uhm----
goodbye-

I'm not in love
so don't forget it
It's just
a silly phase
I'm going through
and just because
I call you up
don't get me wrong
Don't think
you've got it made
I'm not in love no no
it's because
I like to see you
but then again
That doesn't mean
you mean
That much to me
so if I call you
Don't make a fuss
don't tell
Your friends
about the two of us
I'm not in love
no no it's because-

I keep your picture
upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain
that's lying there
So don't you ask me
to give it back
I know you know
it doesn't mean
That much to me
I'm not in love
No no it's because ooh
you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
ooh you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
it's just
A silly phase
I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong
don't think
You've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not
in love-

Heartbeats fast
colors and promises
How to be brave
how can I love
When I'm afraid
to fall
But watching you
stand alone
All
of my doubt
Suddenly goes away
somehow
One step
closer
I have died every day
waiting for you
Darling
don't be afraid
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more
Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not
Let anything
take away
What's standing
in front of me
Every
breath
Every hour has
come to this
One step
closer
I have died every day
waiting for you
Darling
don't be afraid
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more
And all along
I believed
I would
find you
Time has brought
your heart to me
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more

One step
closer
One step
closer
I have died every day
waiting for you
Darling
don't be afraid
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more
And all along
I believed
I would
find you
Time has brought
your heart to me
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you
for a thousand more

Such a feelings
coming over me
there is
wonder in most
everything I see
not a cloud in the sky
got the sun in my eyes
and I
won't be surprised
if it's a dream
everything
I want the world to be
is now coming
true especially
for me
and the reason
is clear
it's because
you are here
you're the nearest
thing to
heaven that I've seem
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that I've found ever
since you've
been around
your loves
put me at the
top of the
world-

Something in the wind
has learned my name
and it's telling me
that things are not
the same in the leaves
on the trees
and the touch of
the breeze
there's a pleasing
sence of happiness
for me
There is only
one wish on my mind
when this day is
through I hope
that I will find
that tomorrow
will be just the
same for you and me
all I need will be
mine if you are here
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that l've found ever
since you're been
around your loves
put me at the
top of the world
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that I've found ever
since you've been
around your loves
put me at the
top of the
world-

Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
would you be the same
if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
and I'll carry on
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven-

would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heaven
would you help me stand
if I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way
through night and day
cause I know
I just can't stay
here in heaven-

Time can bring
you down
time can bend
your knees
time can break
your heart
have you beg and plead
beg and plead-

beyond the door
there's peace I'm sure
and I know
there'll be no more
tears in heaven-

would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
would you be the same
if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
and I'll carry on
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven-

I have often
told you stories
About the way
I lived the life
Of a drifter
waiting for the day
When I'd take
your hand
And sing you songs
then maybe
You would say
come lay with me
Love me
and I would
Surely stay
but I feel
I'm growing older
and the songs that
I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound
of a windmill
goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier
of fortune

Many times
I've been a traveller
I looked for
something new
In days of old
when nights were cold
I wandered without you
but those days
I thougt my eyes
had seen you
Standing near
though
Blindness is confusing
it shows that
You're not here
now I feel
I'm growing older
and the songs that
I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound
of a windmill
Goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill
goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be
a soldier of fortune

I am sailing
I am sailing
home again
'cross the sea
I am sailing
stormy waters
To be near you
to be free
I am flying
I am flying
like a bird
'cross the sky
I am flying
passing high clouds
To be with you
to be free
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Through the dark night
far away
I am dying
forever trying
To be with you
Who can say
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Through the dark night
far away
I am dying
Forever trying
To be with you
who can say-

We are sailing
We are sailing
Home again
'cross the sea
We are sailing
Stormy waters
To be near you
to be free
Oh Lord
to be near you
To be free
Oh Lord
to be near you
To be free
Oh Lord
to be near you
to be free
Oh Lord-

I used to rule
the world
Seas would rise
when I gave the word
Now in the morning I
sleep alone
Sweep the streets
I used to own
I used to
roll the dice
Feel the fear in my
enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd
would sing
Now the old
king is dead
Long live
the king
One minute I
held the key
Next the walls
were closed on me
And I discovered that
my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt
and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
my shield
My missionaries
in a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
Once you go
there was never
Never an
honest word
That was when I
ruled the world

It was the wicked
and wild win
Blew down the doors
to let me in
Shattered windows
and the sound of drums
People couldn't
believe what
I'd become
revolutionaries wait
For my head on
a silver plate
Just a puppet on
a lonely string
Ah who would ever
want to be king
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

(Ooooh ooooh
ooooh ooooh ooooh)
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

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)

Coming out of my cage
and I've been doing
Just fine
God I gotta be damned
Because I want it all
it started out
With a kiss
how did it end up
Like this
it was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
now I'm falling asleep
And she's
calling a cab
While he's
having a smoke
And she's
taking a drag
Now they're
going to bed
And my
stomach is sick
And it's
all in my head
But she's touching
his chest now
He takes off
her dress now
Let me go and I
just can't look
It's killing me
and taking control
Jealousy turning
saints into the sea
Swimming through
sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
but it's just
The price I pay
destiny is calling me
Open up my
eager eyes
'Cause I'm
Mr. Brightside

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-

When I am down
and oh my soul
So weary
when troubles come
And my heart
burdened be
Then I am still
and wait here
In the silence
until you come
And sit a while
with me
You raise me up
so I can stand
On mountains
you raise me up
To walk on
stormy seas
I am strong when I am
on your shoulders
You raise me up
to more than I can be

You raise me up
so I can stand
On mountains
you raise me up
To walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am
On your shoulders
you raise me up
To more than I can be
you raise me up
So I can stand
on mountains
You raise me up
to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am
on your shoulders
You raise me up
to more than I can be
You raise me up
so I can stand
On mountains
you raise me up
To walk on
stormy seas
I am strong when I am
on your shoulders
You raise me up
to more than I can be
You raise me up
to more than I can be

Looking out for

Getting

With a bit of

You are
the dancing queen
Young and sweet
only seventeen
Dancing queen
feel the beat from
The tambourine
oh yeah
You can dance
you can jive
Having the time of
your life woo
See that girl
watch that scene
Digging
the dancing queen
Digging
the dancing queen

If you search
for tenderness
It isn't hard
to find
You can have the love
you need to live
But if you look
for truthfulness
You might just as well
be blind
It always seems to be
so hard to give
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can always
find someone
To say they
sympathize
If I wear my heart out
on my sleeve
But I don't want
some pretty face
To tell me
pretty lies
All I want is
someone to believe
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again
I know (I know)
I know wo wo
When I'm deep
inside of me
Don't be too
concerned
I won't ask
for nothing
While
I'm gone
But when I want
sincerity
Tell me
where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one
that I depend upon
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you

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
darling kiss me
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-

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
darling kiss me
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

I love you-

Only you
only you
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
In other words
I love you-

Get her name
and get her number
Find out
all of the things
That
we have in common
Never all the
differences oh yeah
Meet her parents
meet her brother
Then she starts
sleepin'
Over the crib
on weekends
Like a real
relationship oh no
For me
the stars are alignin'
But for her
it's bad timin'
So she just
can't be mine
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
all they wanna do is
Break my heart
my heart oh
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
they just wanna see me
Fall apart
apart oh
So I hook up
on a rebound
And
I say
That I'm gonna be
single for life
But she's so pretty
and nice
So I made just
one exception
But
I find out
Eventually
I'm not her type
Baby that's
the reason why that
For me
the stars are alignin'
But for her
it's bad timin'
So she just
can't be mine
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
all they wanna do is
Break my heart
my heart oh
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
they just wanna see me
Fall apart
apart oh

I'm tryin'
not to be bitter
But dxxx it
I'll miss her
'Cause she's one
of a kind
For me
the stars are alignin'
But for her
it's bad timin'
So she just
can't be mine
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
all they wanna do is
Break my heart
my heart oh
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
they just wanna see me
Fall apart
apart oh
Then we fall we fall
fall fall apart now
I don't think that
I like her anymore
Girls are all the same
they just wanna see me
Fall apart
apart oh
