White shirt
now red my bloody nose
Sleeping you're
on your tippy toes
Creeping around
like no one knows
Think
you're so criminal
Bruises on both
my knees for you
Don't say thank you
or please I do
What I want
when I'm wanting to
My soul
so cynical
So you're
a tough guy
Like it really
rough guy
Just can't get
enough guy
Chest always
so puffed guy
I'm that
bad type
Make your mama
sad type
Make your girlfriend
mad type
Might seduce
your dad type
I'm the bad guy duh
I'm the bad guy
I like it
when you take control
Even if you know
that you don't own me
I'll let you
play the role
I'll be
your animal
My mommy likes to sing
along with me
But she won't sing
this song
If she reads
all the lyrics
She'll pity the men
I know
So you're
a tough guy
Like it really
rough guy
Just can't get
enough guy
Chest always
so puffed guy
I'm that
bad type
Make your mama
sad type
Make your girlfriend
mad type
Might seduce
your dad type
I'm the bad guy duh
I'm the bad guy duh
I'm only good at being
bad bad

I like
when you get mad
I guess
I'm pretty glad
That
you're alone
You said
she's scared of me
I mean
I don't see
What she sees
but maybe it's
'Cause I'm wearing
your cologne
I'm a bad guy I'm
I'm I'm a bad guy
Bad guy bad guy
I'm a bad I'm

Where do I take
this pain of mine
I run but it stays
right by my side
So tear me open
pour me out
There's thing inside
that scream and shout
And the pain
still hates me
So hold me
until it sleeps
Just like the curse
just like the stray
You feed it once
and now it stays
Now it stays
so tear me open
But beware
there's things inside
Without a care
and the dirt
Still stains me
so wash me
Until I'm clean
it grips you
So hold me
it stains you
So hold me
it hates you
So hold me
it holds you
So hold me
until it sleeps
(Until it sleeps
until it sleeps)
So tell me why
you've chosen me
Don't want your grip
don't want your greed
I don't want it
I'll tear me open
Make you gone
no more can you
Hurt anyone
and the fear
Still shakes me
so hold me
Until it sleeps
it grips you
So hold me
it stains you
So hold me
it hates you
So hold me
It holds you
Holds you holds you
until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
until it sleeps-

I don't want it
I don't want it
Want it want it
want it want it woo
So tear me open
but beware
The things inside
without a care
And the dirt still
stains me
So wash me
'till I'm clean
I'll tear me open
make you gone
No longer
will you hurt anyone
And the fear still
shapes me
So hold me
until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
until it sleeps-

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'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-

It's
a heartache
Nothing
but a heartache
Hits you
when it's too late
Hits you
when you're down
It's
a fool's game
Nothing but
a fool's game
Standing
in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
it's a heartache
Nothing
but a heartache
Love him
till your arms break
Then he
lets you down
It ain't right
with love to share
When you find
he doesn't care
For you
it ain't wise
To need someone
as much as
I depended on you
it's a heartache
Nothing
but a heartache
Hits you
when it's too late
Hits you
when you're down
It's
a fool's game
Nothing
but a fool's game
Standing
in the cold rain
Feeling
like a clown-

It ain't right
with love to share
When you find
he doesn't care
For you
it ain't wise
To need someone
as much as
I depended on you
it's a heartache
Nothing
but a heartache
Love him
till your arms break
Then he
let's you down
It's a fool's game
standing in the
Cold rain
feeling like a clown
It's a
heartache
Love him
till your arms break
Then he
let's you down-

I don't drink coffee
I take tea my dear
I like my toast done
on the side
And you can hear it
in my accent
When I talk
I'm an Englishman
In New York
see me walking down
Fifth avenue
a walking cane here
At my side
I take it everywhere
I walk
I'm an Englishman
In New York
uh- I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
In New York uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
In New York
if manners maketh
Man as someone said
then he's the hero
Of the day
it takes a man
To suffer ignorance
and smile
Be yourself no matter
what they say uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York
Modesty propriety
can lead to notoriety
You could end up
as the only one
Gentleness sobriety
are rare
In this society
at night
A candle's brighter
than the sun-

Takes more than combat
gear to make a man
Takes more than
license for a gun
Confront your enemies
avoid them
When you can
a gentleman will walk
But never run
if 'manners maketh
Man' as someone said
then he's the hero
Of the day
it takes a man
To suffer ignorance
and smile
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say-

Ocean apart
day after day
And I slowly
go insane
I hear your voice
on the line
But it doesn't
stop the pain
If I see you next
to never
How can we say
forever
wherever you go
whatever you do
I will be right
here waiting for you
whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
waiting for you
I took for granted
all the times
that I though would
last somehow
I hear the laughter
I taste the tears
But I can't get near
you now
Oh can't you see
it baby
You've got me going
crazy
Wherever you go
whatever you do
I will be right here
waiting for you
whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
waiting for you
I wonder how
we can survive
This romance
But in the end
if I'll with you
I'll take the chance-

Oh can't you see
it baby
You've got me going
crazy
Wherever you go
whatever you do
I will be right here
waiting for you
whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
waiting for you
waiting
for you-

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-

On a silver platter

With no one who truly
cares for me

We were both young
when I first saw you
I close
my eyes and the
Flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony
in summer air
See the lights see the
party the ball gowns
See you make your way
through the crowd
And say hello
little did I know
That you were
Romeo
You were
throwing pebbles
And my daddy said
stay away from Juliet
And I was crying
on the staircase
Begging you please
don't go and I said
Romeo take me
somewhere
We can be alone
I'll be waiting
All that's left to
do is run
You'll be the
prince and
I'll be
the princess
It's a love story
baby just say yes
So I sneak out to
the garden to see you
We keep
quiet
Cause we're dead
if they knew
So close your eyes
escape this town
For a little while~
oh oh
Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said
stay away from Juliet
But you were
everything to me I was
Begging you please
don't go and I said
Romeo take me
somewhere
We can be alone
I'll be waiting
All there's left to
do is run
You'll be the
prince and
I'll be
the princess
It's a love story
baby just say yes
Romeo save me they try
to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult
but it's real
Don't
be afraid we'll
Make it out
of this mess
It's a love story baby
just say yes oh oh oh

I got tired
of waiting
Wondering if you were
ever coming around
My faith in you was
fading
When I met you on the
outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo save me
I've been feeling
so alone
I keep waiting for you
but you never come is
This
in my head
I don't know
what to think he
Knelt to the
ground and
Pulled out
a ring and said
Marry me Juliet you'll
never have to be alone
I love you and that's
all I really know
I talked
to your dad go
Pick out
a white dress
It's a love story
baby just say yes
Oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Cause we were
both young
When I first
saw you

You fill me up
'til you're empty
I took too much
and you let me
We've been down
all these roads before
And
what we found
Don't live there
anymore
It's dark
it's cold
If my hand is
not the one
You're meant
to hold
Maybe you'd be happier
with someone else
Maybe loving me's
the reason
You can't love
yourself
Before
I turn your heart
Into a ghost town
show me everything
We built
so I can tear it
All down
down down down down
You know I'll stay
don't you tempt me
But all this weight is
getting heavy
Been
holding up
What wasn't meant
to stand
I turned this love
into a wasteland
It's dark
it's cold
If my hand is
not the one
You're meant
to hold
Maybe you'd be happier
with someone else
Maybe loving me's
the reason
You can't love
yourself
Before
I turn your heart
Into a ghost town
show me everything
We built
so I can tear it
All down
down down down down
Tear it all down
down down down down
The streets are
empty
Where love once was
but it's faded away
These broken
memories
I'm left here alone
and afraid to say
Maybe you'd be happier
with someone else oh
Maybe you'd be happier
with someone else
Maybe loving me's
the reason
You can't love
yourself
Before
I turn your heart
Into a ghost town
show me everything
We built
so I can tear it
All down
down down down down
Tear it all down
down down down down
I'll tear it all down
I'll tear it all down

Stand by- me

Should tumble

And the mountains

To the sea

Share a tear

I want you to stay
'til I'm in the grave
'Til I rot away
dead and buried
'Til I'm in the casket
you carry
If you go
I'm goin' too uh
'Cause it was
always you(aight)
And if I'm
turnin' blue
Please
don't save me
Nothin' left to lose
without my baby
Birds
of a feather
We should
stick together I know
I said I'd never think
I wasn't better alone
Can't change
the weather might
Not
be forever
But if it's forever
it's even better
And I don't know
what I'm cryin' for
I don't think
I could love you more
It might not be long
but baby I
I'll
love you
'Til the day
that I die
'Til the day
that I die
'Til the light leaves
my eyes
'Til the day
that I die
I want you to see hmm
how you look to me hmm
You wouldn't believe
if I told ya
You would
keep
The compliments
I throw ya
But you're
so full of sxxx uh
Tell me
it's a bit oh
Say you don't see it
your mind's polluted
Say you wanna quit
don't be stupid
And I don't know
what I'm cryin' for
I don't think
I could love you more
Might not be long
but baby I
Don't wanna
say goodbye
Birds
of a feather
We should
stick together I know
I said I'd never think
I wasn't better alone
Can't change
the weather might
Not
be forever
But if it's forever
it's even better
I knew you
in another life
You had that same
look in your eyes
I love you
don't act so surprised

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-

Another head
hangs lowly
Child's slowly taken
and the violence
Cause such silence
who are we mistaken
But you see
it's not me
It's not my family
in your head
In your head
they are fighting
With their tanks
and their bombs
And their bombs
and their guns
In your head
in your head
They are crying
in your head
In your head
zombie zombie zombie
What's in your head
in your head
Zombie zombie
zombie-

Another mother's
breaking heart is
Taken over
when the violence
Cause silence
we must be mistaken
It's the same
old theme
Since nineteen sixteen
in your head
In your head
they're still fighting
With their tanks
and their bombs
And their bombs
and their guns
In your head
in your head
They are dying
in your head
In your head
zombie zombie zombie
But in your head
in your head
Zombie zombie
zombie-

If I was given every
opportunity
I'd kill
for your love
So take a chance
with me
Let me romance

I'm caught in a dream
and my dream's
Come true

This is happening

Feeling

It's nine o'clock
on a Saturday
The regular crowd
shuffles in
There's an old man
sitting next to me
Making love
to his tonic and gin

He says son can you
play me a memory
I'm not really sure
how it goes
But it's sad
and it's sweet
And I knew it
complete
When I wore
a younger man's
Clothes na-- na---
na- na-- na-
Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

Now John at the bar
is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks
for free
And he's quick
with a joke
Or to light up
your smoke
But there's someplace
that he'd rather be
He says Bill I believe
this is killing me
As the smile ran away
from his face
Well I'm sure that
I could be
A movie star
if I could get out
Of this place na--
na--- na- na-- na-
Now Paul is
a real estate novelist
Who never had time
for a wife
And he's talking
with Davy
Who's still
in the navy
And probably
will be for life

And the waitress is
practicing politics
As the businessmen
slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing
a drink
They call
loneliness
But it's better than
drinking alone

Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

It's a pretty good
crowd for a Saturday
And the manager
give me a smile
'Cause he knows
that it's me
They've been coming
to see
To forget about
life for a while
And the piano
it sounds
Like a carnival
and the microphone
Smells like a beer and
they sit at the bar
And put bread
in my jar
And say man what
are you doing here
Oh- na-- na---
na- na-- na-
Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-
