I will not make
the same mistakes
That you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart
so much misery
I will not break
the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned
The hard way
to never let it
Get that far
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not
too long
Before you point
it out
I cannot cry
because I know
That's weakness
in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
a smile a laugh
Everyday of my life
my heart can't
Possibly break
when it wasn't
Even whole
to start with
Because of you
I never stray
Too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
every night
In your sleep
I was so young
You should have
known better
Than to lean on me
you never thought
Of anyone else
you just saw your pain
And now I cry
in the middle
Of the night
for the same
Damn thing
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest
Just to forget
everything
Because of you
I don't know how to
Let anyone else in
because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
because of you

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

Bad guy bad guy

on the hotel door

(the show goes on)

I fell in love with you
watching Casablanca
Back row at
the drive in show in
the flickering light
Popcorn and cokes
beneath the stars
became champagne
and caviar
Making love on a long
hot summer's night
I thought you fell in
love with me
watching Casablanca
Holding hands beneath
the paddle fans
in Rick's candle
lit cafe
Hiding in the shadows
from the spies
Moroccan moonlight
in your eyes
Making magic
at the movies
in my old chevrolet
Ooh a kiss is still
a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not
a kiss without
your sigh
Please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and
more each day
as time goes by-

I guess there are many
broken hearts
in Casablanca
You know I've never
really been there so
I don't know
I guess our love story
will never be seen
on the big wide
silver screen
But it hurt just as bad
when I had to watch
Ooh a kiss is still
a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a
kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and more each day
as time goes by
Ooh a kiss is still a
kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a
kiss without your sigh
please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and more each day
as time goes by
I love you
more and
more each day
as time goes by-

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-

When are you gonna
come down
When are you going to
land
I should have stayed
on the farm
Should have listened
to my old man
You know you can't
hold me forever
I didn't sign up
with you
I'm not a present
for your friends
To open
this boy's too young
To be singing
the blues-- ah--
Ah-- so goodbye
yellow brick road
Where the dogs of
society howl
You can't plant me
in your penthouse
I'm going back
to my plough
Back to the howling
old owl in the woods
Hunting
the horny back toad
Oh I've finally
decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow
brick road--
Ah-- ah--
what do you think
You'll do then
I bet that'll
Shoot down your plane
it'll take
Your couple of vodka
and tonics
To set you
on your feet again
Maybe you'll
get a replacement
There's plenty
like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't
got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits
like you
On the ground-- ah--
ah-- so goodbye
Yellow brick road
where the dogs of
Society howl
you can't plant me
In your penthouse
I'm going back
To my plough
back to the howling
Old owl in the woods
hunting
The horny back toad
oh I'm finally
Decided my future lies
beyond
The yellow brick
road-- ah-- ah--

Long as
I remember
The rain been
comin' down
Clouds of myst'ry
pourin'
Confusion
on the ground
Good men
through the ages
Tryin' to find the sun
and I wonder
Still I wonder
who'll stop the rain
I went down Virginia
seekin' shelter
From the storm
caught up in the fable
I watched
the tower grow
Five year plans
and new deals
Wrapped in
golden chains
And I wonder
still I wonder
Who'll stop
the rain-

Meard the singers
playin'
How we cheered
for more
The crowd had
rushed together
Tryin' to keep warm
still the rain
Kept pourin'
fallin' on my ears
And I wonder
still I wonder
Who'll stop
the rain-

Left a good job
in the city
Working for the man
every night and day
And I never lost one
minute of sleeping
Worry in about the way
things might have been
Big wheel keep
on turning
Proud mary keep
on burning
Rolling rolling
rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of
plates in Memplis
Pumped a lot of pain
down in New Orleans
But I never saw the
good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride
on a river bort queen
Big wheel keep
on turning
Proud mary keep
on burning
Rolling rolling
rolling on the river-

If you come down
to the river
But you gonna find
some people who live
You don't have to
worry because you
have no money
People on the river
are happy to give
Big wheel keep
on turning Proud mary
keep on burning
Rolling rolling
rolling on the river
Rolling rolling
rolling on the river
Rolling rolling
rolling on the river
Rolling rolling
rolling on the river-

Take the ribbon
from your hair
Shake it loose and
let it fall
Laying soft upon
my skin
Like the shadows
on the wall
Come and lay down
by my side
Till the early
morning light
All I'm asking
is your time
Help me make it
through the night
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend
Yesterday
is dead and gone
And tomorrow's
out of sight
And it's sad
to be alone
Help me make it
through the night.
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend

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

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-

She may be the
face I can't forget
The trace of
pleasure or regret
May be my treasure
or the price
I have to pay
she may be the song
That summer sings
may be the chill
That autumn brings
may be a hundred
Different things
within a measure
Of a day
she may be the
Beauty or the beast
may be the
Famine or the feast
may turn each day
In to a heaven
or a hell
She may be the
mirror of my dreams
Her smile reflected
in a stream
She may not be
what she would seem
Inside
her shell

She would always seem
so happy like a cloud
Whose eyes can be
so bright and so proud
No one's allowed
to see them
When they cry
she may be the love
That cannot
hope to last
May come to me from
shadows of the past
But I'll remember
'til the day I die
She may be the
reason I survive
The why and where
for I'm alive
The one I'll care for
through the rough
And ready years
me I'll take her
Laughter and her tears
and make them
All my souvenirs
the way she goes
That got to be
the meaning of
My life is she
she oh she

I've been a long
long time
A waiting for you
I didn't want to see
you go Oh No No
And now it watching
so much
What can I do
I want it you
to be my wife
The days of passing
slowly
Since you've gone
Long memories
are all I have
Yes I have
I sit you waiting bus
You never show
without you
I can't carry on
Ooh My Baby-

We said you all way
lonely Oh No MY Life
And then you said
your last good-bye
Let's good-bye
why I do sudden changes
why all of the lights
I should have sitting
in your eyes
The end last
nows of party
Who waiting for you
My someone love
as turn to brain
Oh the brain
The silence emptiness
A one-sided love
My life is love
the how you gone
Ooh My baby-

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-

Sometimes it's hard
to be a woman
Giving all your love
to just one man
You'll have bad times
and he'll have
good times
Doin' things that
you don't understand
But if you love
him you'll
forgive him
Even though he's hard
to understand
and if you love him
Oh be proud of him
Cause after
all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him
two arms to cling to
And something
warm to come to
when nights
are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world
you love him
Keep giving
all the love you can
Stand by your man -
Stand by your man
And tell the world
you love him
Keep giving
all the love you can
Stand by
your man -

If I had to
live my life
Without you near me
The days would
all be empty
The nights would seem
so long
And you I see forever
oh so clearly
I might have been
in love before
But it never felt
this strong
Our dreams are young
and we both know
They'll take us
where we want to go
Hold me now

the way you are
So come with me and

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-

Half past twelve
and I'm watching
The late show
in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend
the evening on my own
Autumn winds blowing
outside my window as
I look around the room
and it makes me
So depressed
to see the gloom
There's not a soul
out there
No one to hear
my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To The break
of the day-

Movie stars find
the end of the rainbow
With a fortune to win
It's so different
From the world
I'm living in
Tired of TV
I open the window and
I gaze into the night
but there's
Nothing there to see
no one in sight
There's not a soul
out there
No one to hear
my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To the break
of the day
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Ah ah ah ah
gimme gimme gimme
A man after midnight
ah ah ah ah-

There's not a soul
out there
No one to hear
my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To the break
of the day
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after midnight
Take me
through the darkness
To the break
of the day-

Do you
love the rain
Does it
make you dance
When
you're drunk
With your friends
at a party
What's
your favorite song
Does it
make you smile
Do you
think of me
When
you close your eyes
Tell me
what are you dreamin'
Everything
I wanna know it all
I'd spend
ten thousand hours
And
ten thousand more
Oh if that's
what it takes to learn
That
sweet heart of yours
And I might never
get there
But
I'm gonna try
If it's
ten thousand hours
Or the rest of my life
I'm gonna love you
Do you
miss the road
That
you grew up on
Did you

From
your grandma
When

Your forever

Do you

Tell me

And
I I'm gonna love you

love you

I know your eyes
in the morning sun
I feel you touch me
in the pouring rain
And the moment
that you wander
Far from me
I wanna feel you
In my arms again
then you come to me
On a summer breeze
keep me warm
In your love
then you softly leave
And it's me
you need to show
How deep is your love
how deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living
in a world of fools
Breaking us down
when they all
Should let us be
we belong to
You and me
I believe in you
You know the door
to my very soul
You're the light
in my deepest darkest
Hour you're my saviour
when I fall
And you may not think
I care for you when
You know down inside
that I really do
And it's me
you need to show
How deep is your love
how deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living
in a world of fools
Breaking us down
when they all
Should let us be
we belong to
You and me

On a summer breeze
