(She!) She told me that she loved me,
And like a fool I believed her from the start
(She!) She said she'd never hurt me,
But then she turned around and broke my heart.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?

(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
(She!) She devoured all my sweet love,
Took all I had and then she fed me dirt

(She!) She laughed while I was crying
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?

(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
And now I know just why
she keeps me hanging 'round,
(Hanging 'round)
She needs someone to walk on
so her feet don't touch the ground
(Don't touch the ground)
But I love her! (Love her!)
I need her! (Need her!)
I want her! (Want her!)
Yeah! (Yeah!) Yeah! (Yeah!)
Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-She!

Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong, now
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
(She!) Why am I missing her?
(She!) I should be kissing her!
(She!) Why am I missing her?
(She!) I should be kissing her!

When love comes knockin at your door
Just open up and let im in.
Its gonna be a magic carpet ride;
So little girl now dont you run and hide.

I know that youve been hurt before
But dont you be afraid no more.
Throw off the chains that bind
And leave the past behind;
When love comes knocking at your door.

When love comes knocking at your door
Just open up and let im in.
Its gonna be a magic carpet ride;
So little girl now dont you run and hide.
Youll see a rainbow evry day,
The sun will shine in evry way.
Throw off the chains that bind
And leave the past behind;
No need to worry anymore,
When love comes knocking at your door
At your door,
At your door,
At your door.

Mary, mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, mary, can I go too.
This one thing I will vow ya,
I'd rather die than to live without ya.
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?

Mary, mary, tell me truly
What did I do to make you leave me.
Whatever it was I didn't mean to,
You know I never would try and hurt ya.
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?

What more, mary, can I do
To prove my love is truly yours?
I've done more now than a clear-thinkin' man would do.

Mary, mary, it's not over.
Where you go, I will follow.
'til I win your love again
And walk beside you,
But until then.
Mary, mary, where you goin' to?

Mary, mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, mary, mary, mary, mary, where you goin' to?

I know about the guy who treated you so bad
He took your love and then just walked away
I know that you have got a reason to be sad
But help is on its way

Hold on, girl; be a little bit stronger
Hold on, girl; wait a little bit longer
Hold on, girl, help is on its way

I know you feel as though your world is at an end
But you don't have to live with yesterday
I promise you the sun is gonna shine again
And help is on its way

Hold on, girl; now that we are together
Hold on, girl; things are gonna be better
Hold on, girl, help is on its way

She knows her mind all right, your Auntie Grizelda,
She says she knows my kind, she might, maybe so.
Oh, yeah, she's raised you right, your Auntie Grizelda,
You only know the things she wants you to know.

I know she's having a fit,
She doesn't like me a bit,
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda.

You can't begrudge her style, your Auntie Grizelda,
She couldn't budge a smile and do it for free.
So righteous making fudge, your Auntie Grizelda,
So proper judging others over her tea.

You look just like her you do,
I know by looking at you,
That you've been listening to your Auntie Grizelda.

Oh, no, don't look at me like Auntie Grizelda
It takes much more to be someone of your own.
You've got to make it free from Auntie Grizelda
Or just like her you'll have to make it alone.

I know she's having a fit,
She doesn't like me a bit,
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda.

Auntie Grizelda, Auntie Grizelda

I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone,
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone.

You're trying to make your mark in society,
You're using all the tricks that you used on me,
You're reading all them high-fashion magazines,
The clothes you're wearing, girl, they're causing public scenes.

I said, I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone,
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone. (No!)

Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,

When I first met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes,
But, now you're walking around like you're front page news,
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose,
But, you won't find my name in your book of "Who's Who".

I said, I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone, (No, girl, not me!)
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone. (No!)

Not your steppin' stone,
I'm not your steppin' stone,

Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,

No, girl, I'm not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,

Sometime in the morning
A simple thought may occur to you,
And you hold her,
And tell her all the things you never told her.
Your love has shown me things
I never thought I could see;
I didn't know
It could be done so easily.
Now I know
You're where it is for me.

Sometime in the evening
You're sitting there by the fireside
And she'll touch you
And you'll realize how much you never knew before,
How much you couldn't see.
You didn't know
It could be done so easily
Now you know
She's all a girl could be.

Now in her childlike eyes
You see the beauty there
You know it was always there
And you need no longer wear a disguise.

Sometime in the morning
You'll just reach out and she will be there,
Close as the summer air.

Sometime in the morning she will be there.

Ev'ry face that I see is all wrapped up in frowns,
And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down.
Laugh,
'Cause the music is funny
Yeah, the bass sounds off-beat.
Ain't that neat.
Laugh,
When you lose all your money,
Or you can't find your shoes
To cover your feet.

It's not so hard to see exactly what I'm after.
Sometimes a tear should fall, but I require giggles and chuckles
Laugh,
When you're keepin' a secret
And it seems to be known
By the rest of the world.
Laugh,
When you go to a party,
And you can't tell the boys
From the girls.

Every face that I see is all wrapped up in frowns
And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down.
Laugh,
At the things that are wrong.
If you thinks it's this song,
Then laugh.
Then laugh.
Then laugh.

[Repeat to fade]

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried. I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

Don't listen to Linda
She said all those things before
She's just a pretender,
And though you couldn't love her more
She'll lead you on, and then one day
She'll say you'll have to part
Don't listen to Linda
She'll only break your heart.

Don't listen to Linda
If you want some good advice,
Just try to remember,
She did it once, she'll do it twice
There's more to her little games,
Than your eyes can see,
Don't listen to Linda,
Or you'll end up like me.

You'll never understand her
All the presents you could hand her,
Could never be enough, oh no,
So, don't underestimate her,
'Cause sooner or later,
The goings gonna start to get rough.

Don't listen to Linda,
Don't believe the things you hear.
You'll end up, contender,
For the "Loser Of The Year."
I've said everything I can
To try and make you see
Don't listen to Linda,
Or you'll end up like me.

People come and people go
Movin' fast and movin' slow
I'm in a crowd yet I'm all alone
The road is long the road is rough
I do believe I've had enough
I'm gonna turn around and head for home.

And I hope you're there
And you still care
And if you do,
I'll spend my life with you.

I've had all the time I need
To rearrange my mind and lead
The life I thought I wanted yesterday
I played a game that couldn't last
And now some mem'ries from the past
Have turned my thoughts around a different way.

And girl, I find
You're still on my mind.
And if you want me to
I'll spend ny life with you.

[Instumental]

And girl, I find
You're still on my mind.
And if you want me to
I'll spend ny life with you.

If you think I want the life you choose to live
I don't think I want the love you've got to give
If you think my goals could be so trivial and small
Then, I don't think you know me at all
Born between the covers of your fashion books
You think you can make it, girl, on just your looks
But you could never bring me up
Between us stands a wall
No, I don't think you know me at all
Believing in the promise painted in your smile
I've chased what I was running from, girl, all my life
I've known you a hundred times in memories I recall, but
I don't think you know me at all
I don't think you know me at all.

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried. I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain. Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
