Time can never mend
the careless whispers
Of a good friend
to the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
there's no comfort
In the truth pain is
all you'll find
Should've known
better yeah-

Oh-- oh-
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
and lead you
To the dance floor
as the music dies
Something
in your eyes
Calls to mind
the silver screen
And all it's said
good-bye
I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet have
got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never
gonna dance again
The way I danced
with you-- oh-
Time can never mend
the careless whispers
Of a good friend
to the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
there's no comfort
In the truth pain is
all you'll find
I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet have
got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never gonna
dance again
The way I danced
with you oh--
Never without
your love-

Tonight the music
seems so loud
I wish that we could
lose this crowd
Maybe it's better
this way
We'd hurt each other
with the things
We'd want to say
we could have been
So good together
we could have lived
This dance forever
but no one's gonna
Dance with me
please stay
And I'm never gonna
dance again
Guilty feet
have got no rhythm
Though it's easy
to pretend
I know your not a fool
should've known
Better than
to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
that I've been given
So I'm never gonna
dance again
The way I danced
with you-- ah--
(Now that you're gone)
now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone)
what I did's
So wrong so wrong
that you had to
Leave me
alone-

I cried a tear
you wiped it dry
I was confused
you cleared my mind
I sold
my soul
You bought it back
for me and held me up
And gave me dignity
somehow you needed me
You gave me strength
to stand alone again
To face the world
out on my own again
You put me high
upon a pedestal
So high that I can
almost see eternity
You needed me
you needed me
And I can't believe
it's you
I can't believe
it's true
I needed you
and you were there
And I'll never leave
why should I leave
I'd be a fool
'cause I've finally
Found someone
who really cares
You held my hand
when it was cold
When I was lost
you took me home
You gave me hope
when I was at the end
And turned my lies
back into truth again
You even called me
friend
You gave me strength
to stand alone again
To face the world
out on my own again
You put me high
upon a pedestal
So high that I can
almost see eternity
You needed me
you needed me
You needed me
you needed me-

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
give me the news
I've got a bad case
of loving you
No pill's gonna
cure my ill
I've got a bad case
of loving you-
A pretty face don't
make no pretty heart
I learned that
buddy from the start
you thing I'm cute
a little bit shy
Momma I ain't
that kind of guy
Doctor doctor
give me the news
I've got a bad case
of loving you
No pill's gonna
cure my ill
I've got a bad case
of loving you-

I know you like it
you like it on top
Tell me momma are
you gonna stop-
You had me down
2 1 to zip
smile of judas
on your lip
shake my fist
knock on wood
I've got it bad
and I've got it good
Doctor doctor
give me the news
I've got a bad case
of loving you
No pill's gonna
cure my ill
I've got a bad case
of loving you-

I should've known
I'd leave alone
Just goes to show
that the blood
You bleed is
just the blood you owe
We were a pair
but I saw you there
Too much to bear
you were my life
But life is far away
from fair
Was I stupid
to love you
Was I reckless
to help
Was it obvious
to everybody else
That I'd fallen
for a lie
You were never
on my side
Fool me once
fool me twice
Are you death
or paradise
Now you'll never
see me cry
There's just
no time to die
I let it
burn
You're no longer
my concern
Faces
from my past return
Another lesson yet
to learn
That I'd fallen
for a lie
You were never
on my side
Fool me once
fool me twice
Are you death
or paradise
Now you'll never
see me cry
There's just
no time to die
No time to die
no time to die
Fool me once
fool me twice
Are you death
or paradise
Now you'll never
see me cry
There's just
no time to die

Tried so hard
to be your man
The kind of man
you want in the end
Only then can I begin
to live again
An empty shell
I used to be
The shadow of my life
was hangin' over me
A broken man
that I don't know
Won't even
stand
The devil's dance
to win my soul
What we doin'
what we chasin'
Why the bottom
why the basement
Why we got good sxxx
don't embrace it
Why the feel for
the need to replace me
You're the wrong way
track from the good
I want to paint
a picture
Tellin'
where we could be at
Like a heart
in the best
Way should
you can give it away
You had it
and you took the pay
But I keep walkin' on

Keep hopin' for

Keep also home

To live

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-

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

There lived a
certain man in
Russia long ago
He was big and
strong in his eyes
a flaming glow
Most people looked
at him with terror
and with fear
But to Moscow chicks
he was such a
lovely dear
He could preach the
bible like a preacher
Full of ecstacy
and fire
But he also was the
kind of teacher
Women would desire
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the
Russian queen
There was a cat
that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest
love machine
It was a
shame how
he carried on

He ruled the
Russian land
and never mind
the czar
But the kasachok
he danced
really wunderbar
In all affairs
of state he was the
man to please
But he was
real great when
he had a girl
to squeeze
For the queen
he was no
wheeler
dealer
Though she'd heard
the things he'd done
She believed
he was a hole healer
Who would
heal her son
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the
Russian queen
There was a cat
that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest
love machine
It was a shame how
he carried on
But when his drinking
and lusting
and his hunger
for power became
known to more
and more people
the demands to do
something about
this outrageous
man became
louder and
louder

This man's
just got to go!
declared
his enemies
But the ladies begged
Don't you
try to
do it please
No doubt this
Rasputin
had lots of
hidden charms
Though
he was a brute
they just fell
into his arms
Then one night
some men
of higher
standing
Set a trap
they're not to blame
Come to visit us
they kept demanding
And he really came
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the
Russian queen
They put some poison
into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest
love
machine
He drank it all
and he said
I feel fine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the
Russian queen
They didn't quit
they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest
love
machine
And so they shot him
till he was dead
Oh those
Russians

We speak of the devil
he's no friend of mine
To turn from him is
what we've got in mind
Just a liar
and a thief
The word
tell us so
We like to let him
know where he can go
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
When things
are going wrong
You know who to blame
he will always
Live up
to his name
He's never been
the answer
There's a better way
we are here
To rock you
and to say
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil-

To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell with the devil
devil devil-

I'd ratherer be a
sparrow than a snail
Yes I would If I could
I surely would Hm hm
I'd rather be a
hammer than a nail
Yes I would
If I only could
I surely would Hm hm
A way I'd rather
sail away
Like a swan that's
here and gone
A man gets tied up
to the ground
He gives the world
it's saddest sound
it's saddest sound
Hm hm Hm hm
I'd ratherer be a
forest than a street
Yes I would
If I could
I surely would
I'd ratherer feel
the earth beneath
my feet Yes I would
If I only could
I surely
would-

25 years of my
life and still
I'm trying
to get up that
Great big
hill of hope
For a
destination
I realized
quickly
When I
knew I should
That the world was
made up of this
Brotherhood
of man
For whatever
that means
And so I
cry sometimes
When I'm
lying in bed
To still
get it all out
What's in
my head
Then I
I am feeling
A little
peculiar
And so I wake in the
morning and I step
Outside and I
take a deep breath
And I get
real high
Then I scream from the
top of my lungs
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I say hey
What's going on

And I pray

I pray every
single day
For a
revolution
And so I
cry sometimes
When I'm
lying in bed
To still
get it all out
What's in
my head
Then I
I am feeling
A little
peculiar
And so I wake in the
morning and I step
Outside and I
take a deep breath
And I get
real high
Then I scream from the
top of my lungs
What's going on

Oh my heart
won't believe
that you have left me
I keep telling myself
that it's true
I can get over anything
you want my love
but I can't get myself
over you
Don't forget to
remember me
and the love that
used to be
I still remember you
I love you in my heart
lies a memory
To tell the stars above
Don't forget to
remember me my love
On my wall lies
a photograph
of you girl- -
though I try to forget
you somehow
You're the mirror
of my soul so take me
out of my whole let me
try to go on living
right now
Don't forget to
remember me
and the love that
used to be
I still remember you
I love you in my heart
lies a memory
To tell the stars above
Don't forget to
remember me
my love.

I believe
the children are
our future
Teach them well and
let them lead the way
Show them all
the beauty
they possess inside
Give them a
sence of pride
to make it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us
how we used to be
Everybody's
searching for a hero
people need someone
to look up to
I never found anyone
who full filled
my needs
A lonely place to be
and so I learned
to depend on me
I decided long ago
never to walk
in anyone's shadow
If I fail
if I succeed at least
I live as I believe
No matter
what they take from me
They can't take away
My dignity
Because the greatest
love of all
is happening to me
I've found
the greatest
love of all
inside of me
The greatest
love of all is
easy to achieve
Learning to love
Yourself
it is the Greatest
love of all
I believe
the children
are our future
Teach them well and
let them lead the way
Show them
all the beauty
they possess inside
Give them a sence
of pride to make
it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us
how we used to be
I decided long ago
never to walk
in anyone's shadow
If I fail
if I succeed
at least I live
as I believe
No matter
what they take from me
They can't take away
My dignity
Because the greatest
love of all
is happening to me
I've found
the greatest
love of all
inside of me
The greatest
love of all
is easy to achieve
Learning to love
Yourself it is
the Greatest
love of all
And if by chance
that special place
That you've been
dreaming of
leads you to
a lonely place
find
Your strength
in love ~

Today is gonna
be the day that
They're gonna throw it
back to you
By now you should've
somehow realized
What you gotta do
I don't believe that
Anybody feels the way
I do about you now
Backbeat the word is
on the street
That the fire
in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard
it all before
But you never really
had a doubt
I don't believe that
anybody feels the way
I do about you now
and all the roads
We have to walk
are winding
And all the lights
that lead us there
Are blinding
there are many things
That I would like
to say to you
But I don't know how
because maybe
You're gonna be
the one that saves me
And after all
you're my wonderwall
Today was gonna
be the day but
They'll never throw it
back to you
By now you should've
somehow realized
What you're not to do
I don't believe that
Anybody feels the way
I do about you now
And all the roads
that lead you there
Are winding
and all the lights
That lights the way
are blinding
There are many things
that I would like
To say to you
but I don't know how
I said maybe
you're gonna be
The one who saves me
and after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be
the one that saves me
And after all
you're my wonderwall
I said maybe
you're gonna be
The one that saves me
you're gonna be
The one that saves me
you're gonna
Be the one
that saves me-

Before the dawn
I hear you whisper
in Your sleep don't let
the morning take him
outside the birds
begin to call
as if to summon
up my leaving
It's been a long time
since I found someone
since I found someone
who would stay
I waited too long
now you leaving
oh please don't take
it all the way-

It's been a long time
since I found someone
since I found someone
who would stay
I waited too long
now you leaving
oh please don't take
it all the way
Before the dawn
I hear you whisper
in your sleep don't let
the morning take me-
