The life that I've been living
From the day I first drew breath Has been my way of forgetting I'm on the journey to my death You make my soul rise up You make my eyes to see When I place my faith in you And I lose my belief in me The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee I don't believe in beads or crystals Instant karma or mother earth I don't believe that what I think Makes any difference to what I'm worth I don't believe in reincarnation I'm not coming back as a flower I don't bow my head to kings or priests 'Cos I believe in your higher power The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee Oh you've given me a plan That I don't understand 'Cos I've wandered over half the world But I've remained an ignorant man One thing That I know Is when the final bell tolls Human love won't be enough Good deeds can't save my soul Well I'm not afraid of dying But I am afraid of you Because you hear me when I'm lying And you see the things I do So the hands go round the clock As the light goes from the room And I can't help thinking to myself I'm going to find out much to soon The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee Oh you've given me a plan That I just don't understand 'Cos I've wandered over half the world But I've remained a ignorant man One thing that I know Is when the final bell tolls Human love won't be enough Good deeds can't save my soul I believe I believe I believe I believe You make my soul rise up You make my eyes to see When I place my faith in you And I lose my belief in me The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee The less I believe in me The more I believe in thee |

Now I've got a question baby
What makes you cry? 'Cos I haven't seen any water In the corners of your eyes For a day, or a week Or a month, or a year Haven't seen much of you Since you left me my dear Can't you see that I'm hurting How I'm falling apart Don't you care about my drinking Or my poor lonely heart I thought you liked football You didn't mind those videos And my dog didn't mean To ruin your clothes (he can't help it) Now you won't take my phone calls You sent my letters back You're paying for a lawyer To stab me in the back Then I saw you on the street You looked happy, that's a fact I'm impressed - it's a hell of an act Angel - admit it, admit it Darlin' - admit it, admit it Your love for me didn't die It's just sleepin' And it wakes every night To your weepin' Now I hope you can hear me Wherever you are In a cheap hotel room Or the back seat of a car I make up those situations I don't know if they're true But I'll tell you, for now, they'll do Angel - admit it, admit it Darlin' - admit it, admit it Your love for me didn't die It's just sleepin' And it wakes every night To your weeping' Now I've got a question bady What makes you cry? |

(Song by Otis Redding)
These arms of mine They are lonely Lonely and feeling blue These arms of mine They are yearning Yearning from wanting you And if you Would let them hold you How grateful I will be These arms of mine The are burning Burning from wanting you These arms of mine The are wanting Wanting to hold you And if you Just let them hold you How grateful I will be How grateful I will be C'mon c'mon baby Just be my woman Just be my lover I need someone Somebody to hold me tight And I need Your warm, warm loving arms Around me tonight Just let me hold you Just let me hold you Let my arms hold you Just let them hold you Please let me hold you Just let me hold you C'mon let me hold you Just let me hold you Please let me hold you Just let me hold you |

Correct me if you think that I'm mistaken
I wouldn't want to overstate my case But while I'm the one bringing home the bacon I've got a right to be heard around this place You seem to think that life dealt you a bad deal On the day we both pronounced the words "I do" You yell at me for hours about what bugs you Well that's a waste of time 'cos I can do that too Shout shout don't leave a doubt Smash up the place or throw things about You won't change a thing by doing that Rant rave pull out your hair Turn on the tears, I still won't care You don't move me an inch when you do that I'm trying my best to be your husband And a father to our little baby girl And I'd rather rely on my own judgement Than the vagaries and fashions of this world If you wanted a doctor or a lawyer You should have married one of them instead of me Or some other guy who would ignore you When he'd make a point and you would disagree Shout shout don't leave a doubt Smash up the place or throw things about You won't change a thing by doing that Rant rave pull out your hair Turn on the tears, I still won't care You don't move me an inch when doing that And now I'll make my confessing I love to row as much as you But while it might be fun, in the long run It's not going to change a thing we do Again I make my confession I love to row as much a you But while it might be fun, in the long run It's not going to change a thing we do Shout shout don't leave a doubt Smash up the place or throw things about You won't change a thing by doing that Rant rave pull out your hair Turn on the tears, I still won't care You don't move me an inch when you do that Shout shout don't leave a doubt Smash up the place or throw things about You won't change a thing by doing that Rant rave pull out your hair Turn on the tears, I still won't care You don't move me an inch when you do that |

We're gonna be more than O.K. Let's get married We're ready for tying the knot Let's get married Set the seal on the feelings we've got Let's get married We can make each other happy or we can make each other blue Yeah, it's just a piece of paper but it says "I Love You" For the good times For the days when we can do no wrong For the moments when we think we can't go on For the family For the lives of the children that we've planned Let's get married C'mon darlin', please take my hand And I'll be the one Who's by your side I'll be the one Still taking pride When we're old if they ask me "How do you define succes?"

Your way
No way Do it my way Or hit the highway Your way No way Do it my way Or hit the highway I respect your point of view You've got your thoughts I've got mine too But you'll be out of here If I don't hear the words I want to hear Your way No way You do it my way Or you can hit the highway I've watched you Backsliding Then there's trouble You, your always hiding Now if I was in your shoes I might look at me and think "There's a fool" But I'm not in your shoes And I don't have to play By your set of rules No No Your way Let me tell you that there's no way No way You do it my way Or you can hit the highway Hit it again Your way No way Do it my way Or hit the highway I'm stating - not negotiating You want more There's the door |

Yesterday arrived too quickly
Caught me right off guard My defence moved in too slowly Missed it by a yard I'd just settled down With a bottle of gin So I moved on to whiskey And it hit me again Memories were raining punches Down on my head Knocked me into the past so quickly They almost raised the dead So I drank some more booze And it helped me to sleep Where I dreamed of my youth And the secrets I keep Oh history is a friend of mine She comes over to my place And we have a good time But the memories She sometimes brings with her Get out of line They're out of line Show me things I don't want to see (Wanna see, wanna see, wanne see) Remind me of who I thought I was gonna be (Ganna be, gonna be, gonna be) Take me places I used to go (Used to go, used to go) A long long time ago When I woke I remembered nothing Suppose that's just as well And although my head was aching I could hear a bell So I put on some clothes And I reached my front door When I pulled it wide open She joined me once more Oh history is a friend of mine She comes over to my place And we have a good time But the memories She sometimes brings with her Get out of line They're out of line Show me things I don't want to see (Wanna see, wanna see, wanna see) Remind me of who I thought I was gonna be (Ganna be, gonna be, gonna be) Take me places I used to go (Used to go, used to go) A long long time ago A long long time ago |

From five to ten, you're playing By the time you're fifteen You're never wrong But then you turn around And it's all gone, your childhood Now daddy knows what he's saying You're in my arms and I'm praying That I'll be given the strength and time To make yours just as happy as mine Your childhood Every morning Your crying ends my sleep I kid on I'm angry But it's not a feeling I can keep There's no light outside I don't care 'cos I know it's true That in our house The sun shines out of you You've got your mother's looks Your're a beautiful little girl You'll break boys hearts All over this world Then one day you'll walk out the door And I know you'll break mine You'll break mine From birth to five, you're learning From five to ten, you're playing By the time you're fifteen you're never wrong But then you turn around and it's all gone Your childhood So you're trying to talk Any day now you'll walk You'll be running around Make me act like a clown 'Cos I live and I breathe For my little girl Our little girl The most important thing is this whole wide world Now daddy know what he's saying Your in my arms and I'm praying That I'll be given the strength an time To make yours just as happy as mine Your childhood |

You're a grown woman
Good at what you do I'm happy as hell When I'm alone whit you As you stroke my body And soothe my brow With everything That the law will allow I pray "Don't turn out like your mother" (repeat) Im a grown man Over 21 I've got an ugly face But I have a lot of fun So if spill a glass Or break a dish I hear your voice And I make this wish Please "Don't turn out like your mother" Don't turn out Don't turn out Don't turn out like your mother I couldn't stand it And I'll be damned if I'm gonna live with another So many woman Give you so much Civilized ways And a gentle touch A different perspective That's as bright as a button But then you wake up one morning And it all counts for nothing Cos she's turned into her mother Don't turn out Don't turn out Don't turn out like your mother I couldn't stand it And I'll be damned if I'm gonna live with another It's not the way she looks It's not the food she cooks Her kind of indignation Don't cause me trepidation But to live with a woman like this Would take a masochist Or someone who could get and could stay permanently pissed (repeat) You're a grown woman Good at what you do I'm happy as hell When I'm alone with you As you stroke my body And soothe my brow With everything That the law will allow Im a grown man Over 21 I've got an ugly face But I have a lot of fun So if spill a glass Or break a dish Don't get on to me Like some haranguing witch Don't turn out like your mother Don't turn out Don't turn out Don't turn out like your mother I couldn't stand it And I'll be damned if I'm gonna live with another It's not her looks Or the way she cooks That wakes me up in a cold sweat It's just the knowledge That if it happened I couldn't drink enough to forget Don't turn out (etc) Don't end up (etc) |
