Looking back on a girl I knew Whose smile and laughter carried me through Oh, the way that I felt when she looked at me that way
When I heard she was gone I had no one to hold I wept as I felt my heart growin' cold Like poppa she taught me there's no time like today ...i hear her saying
Chorus: Love me today, and let my strength be your own Love me today, because tomorrow I'll be gone When I feel it's time to go - I'll be on my way So love me today
I remember a time back when
Poppa would laugh as I held his hand And just one embrace would make my troubles pass
I thought those times would never end The day that he left he smiled and he said, I'll be home soon but poppa never came back... I hear him saying
Don't be afraid to say, "i love you" Take the moment and make it last ¡®cause if you don't tell them you love them You might not get a second chance ...so hear them saying
Another lonely night I can't fight this feeling Lying in my cold, dark room alone
In a dream I see your face You say you're never leaving Then I wake up to find you're gone
Now, I know it's true That only you can stop these
Chorus: Tears of pain running down my face I'll never be the same Will I make it through another night? You left and tore my soul apart Now, nothing else remains but tears of pain
Here in my memories We will last forever It seems so close I can almost taste your love
If I must go down this endless road with you I'll just lose control And I'd break every rule
For one more chance at you Cause only you can stop these
Chorus
Whoa, tears of pain running down my face I'll never be the same Will I make it through another night? The emptiness still lingers on I guess that I'm to blame When you left it tore my soul apart Now, nothing else remains but tears of pain
Johnny played the rebel - huntin' for a cause Sh-sh-sh-short fuse fused dynamite hungry for a spark - ooh yeah His 9 mil. Loaded with borrowed time Bad boy swore he couldn't die Till he faced a man a little bit quicker on the draw
He tried to steal his destiny He bragged of immortality Now he ain't that tough six feet deep
Chorus: Short rides on the glory train Through dead end streets of no escape Lyin' in the bed you made on a ship That came in too late You're running out of time You're running out of time
Jenny came home from the ritzy side of town D - drove her mommy's Benz - Lived in Daddy's great big house - ooh yeah She hawked her gold to feed the spike A great escape on the pony ride Cuz Mom and Dad wouldn't let their little baby out
When China White's your lyin' friend You've sold you soul when the party ends And you're dancing blind on the razor's edge
Chorus
You and me are victims of our blood Haunted by the ghosts of who we loved Our parents sing that same old song ";Where the Hell did we go wrong?"; Just take a look in the mirror Mom and Dad!
Don't look back it burns your eyes You can't win if you don't try Only you control your life
Chorus
Don't you know you're runnin' out of time? Wake up! Wake up! God dammit wake up! You're running out of time You're running out of time You're running out of time time time
Started with a glimmer in your baby doll eyes Worked it with your shimmer then made off with the prize Made and broke the covenant we found ourselves in Baptized in the waters of original sin
Chorus: Give me an ";L"; for the loser that you'd swore I'd never be An ";O"; as in over - just like you and me I need a ";V"; as in victim, which is just what I am An ";E"; for education cause I just don't understand How could I give you the best I got And it all still spells L.O.V.E. me not
Medicating words just added fluid to the flame The king awoke to find he'd been a pawn in your game Well, little miss spider, you can get out and gone But the house is on fire, and the children are alone
Chorus
Hypnotized by the lies of a true believer You gave me a crash course in my A.B.C. - ya's I should've known it's all been just a game Now that you're gone, who'll take the blame?
A painted promise - A smokescreen dream It wasn't all we thought it'd be A fortune made - when we betrayed The faith we'd placed in our blind belief
We were once close as blood
Yeah...
Locked inside - pride's prison cells Separately suffering for our sins Well, the seasons changed - but the chill remains A karmic debt keeps us siamese twins
Until it's said, nothing's done
Chorus: The silence is broken And that we have spoken Don't turn away I know we can change
A quickening - A bitter end Come what may, something must be said This reckoning - Should be deafening Instead of pregnant tranquility
The rebirth has begun
Chorus
Emancipation lives and breathes In the words one should but never speaks Communication can end this speculation And if we fall then at least we'll go down screaming!
Broken! The silence is broken! Till it's said, nothing's done! The silence is broken!
You begged me to stop my fussin' There's something that needs discussin', You've been keeping inside you And it's high time I know
There's no way to break it gently When you told me forever, It doesn't mean it wasn't true at the time, But it's time for you to go
Am I readin' you right? Did you just turn out the light at the end of our ten year Tunnel of Love? Yeah, I know it's your hour of need- But what about me?
I won't be the cage that holds you, I won't be the one who told you that you're making a mistake No Baby I've never been that kind
And if you're sayin' that I've confined you, By all means go but let me remind you You can't change your world as easy as changin' your mind.
What more do I have to give? Guess I'll just have to live with the thought My tears'll be setting you free And I hope you find all you seek- But what about me?
What do you want me to say? Girl, you're walking away with The only dream I ever believed. You'll be livin' through leavin' us be But what about me?
Well I know love don't come guaranteed- But what about me?
A place like this - a girl like you Is all I need to get me through I'm hypnotized when you take the stage Table dance my blues away
From Officer Easy to Little Bo Peep She's a master of disguise She's sugar and spice, she's naughty and nice And she can read my dirty mind
Chorus: C'mon little honey, walk this way Strut your stuff in that lingerie That's right, pretty momma Give me your sunset strip Tease me, please me, help me unwind And I'll feed your pretty kitty one buck at a time
Bump it - grind it - blow me a kiss I'm at your mercy when you do that sunset strip
You're a feast for hungry eyes You could make a grown man cry You're in control of every man Your every wish is my command
If Calamity Jane doesn't drive me insane Nurse Nympho is sure to please Then Little Annie Fannie's gonna rock me to my knees
Chorus
Keep this up and I'll blow my lid You make me explode when you do that sunset strip Your sunset strip has got me goin' crazy (Take it off!!!)
Oh yeah - it's just another night out with the boys Oh baby - bring on those dancing girls Yeah - we're all gonna leave here broke, drunk, and horny Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you!
Chorus
I've been around the world and you're the best there is You make me feel like a king When you're queen of the sunset strip (Take it off!!!)
The sunset strip has got me goin' crazy! (Take it off!!!)
I've opened your eyes but you still won't see Why a girl like you should want a boy like me You can try but you'll fail to derail my one track mind
I wasn't raised to come on like this Unsatisfied with your goodnight kissin' - listen, I've been cool But baby, it's high time we went to school
Ooh - you talk too much - just give it a rest After all this time, it doesn't make much sense That I gotta take your word we ain't in no rush One more night and a lame excuse Ain't gonna change my mind - no, it ain't no use I give you my love and I don't get your magic touch Ooh - you talk too much
Oil and water would be more right The limits we have are like fire and ice Your daddy must be so proud you draw that line
If I were a picture, then you'd be the neg But know that I ain't too prideful To beg you on one bended knee Till what I get is more what I've seen
Ooh - you talk too much - just give it a rest After all this time, it doesn't make much sense That I gotta take your word we ain't in no rush One more night and a lame excuse Ain't gonna change my mind - no, it ain't no use I'm gonna explode if you don't feel my crush Ooh - you talk too much
Tryin' to recover cuz you saw it my way Walkin' two feet off the ground on a hard night's day (I was) baskin' in the glow so it caught me unaware When you met me at the door sayin', ";Stop right there!";
Ooh - you talk too much - just give it a rest After all this time, it doesn't make much sense Didn't you make me a deal when I called your bluff? I wasn't foolin' bout (our) foolin' around Whyc
You're a mattress - you're a bees nest You are heroin in an armored vest You're a plane crash - you are white trash You're a rubber arrow through my chest So why oh why am I still in love with you?
You're a cartoon - you're a bastard moon You're the feathered throat that brought Rome to ruin You're a sunburn - you are milk turned You were Sunday - schooled, but you never learned So why oh why am I still in love with you?
And we danced to the sounds of Taj Mahal And then the alarm clock rang and shook me from the ball
You're a used car - you're a porn star You're a drunken sailor's wet cigar So why oh why am I still in love with you?
You're an earthquake - you're a toothache You're an angry nurse on a coffee break So why oh why am I still in love with you? Why oh why am I still in love with you? Why?
It was right from the start So I surrendered the key to my heart I was sure we couldn't miss But now I taste something strange in your kiss
People are talkin' lately sayin' you've been messin' around I don't wanna believe it baby, but it's all over town
Chorus: They tell me you've got the devil in your soul Say it isn't so that I'm the very last to know Say it isn't true about you Before I say we're through I wanna hear it from your point of view Cause I would die if I had to let you go Say it isn't so
I recall the love that we made It was hot - like a hundred degrees in the shade Tell me now - what do I do If I find that you lied when I trusted in you?
Did you try to deceive me? Did you baby? Or are you misunderstood? You could sell me a story - maybe But you better make it good
Chorus (Come here and look me in the eye) (Oh, no, no, you can't fool me, baby)
You can't hide your lyin' eyes - I gotta big surprise for you (Girl you're gonna get it) I found out what you're all about - you can scream and shout (But I think you might regret it) I'm gonna give you one more chance To tell your tale - confess the past So watch your step, cause it might be your last
They tell me you've got the devil in your soul Say it isn't so that I'm the very last to know Say it isn't true about you Before I say we're through I wanna hear it- baby, I swear it that I would die if I had to let you go Say it isn't so
Was the night - I was young When my father called for his first born son Took me place at his side While this great chief raged in the fire light We'd reclaim days of old If the tribe would do what his dream foretold
Praying to the vision of the promised land Swaying to the rhythm of the drums We were pledging our allegiance to Wevoka's plan When the shots rang out, there soldiers all around And their cannons put an end to our holy singin' of
(OH) The first cowboys were doing the Ghostdance singin' (OH) The first cowboys were doing the Ghostdance
Hypnotized by my tale Generations learn of the Great Betrayal long ago At Wounded Knee Where our grandfathers bled for what they believed Wouldn't buy what they sold - reservation Life for our Black Hills gold
For praying to the vision of the promised land Swaying to the rhythm of the drums We were pledging our allegiance to Wevoka's plan The Great Spirit cried when our warriors fell to the hail of The blue coat's guns (so we're singin')
(OH) The first cowboys were doing the Ghostdance singin' (OH) The first cowboys were doing the Ghostdance
For your soul, for your name Many brave men's blood's running through your veins Leave your mark - walk with pride Live in honor to those who gave their lives Ancient hearts are still seeking peace - As you sing and dance, so you set them free
For praying to the vision of the promised land Swaying to the rhythm of the drums Pledging your allegiance to Wevoka's plan By the marker that stands where our women and children Fell to the blue coat's guns (start singin')
Praying to the vision of the promised land Swaying to the rhythm of the drums We were pledging our allegiance to Wevoka's plan When the shots rang out, there soldiers all around And their cannons put an end to our holy singin' of
So you think you'll take another piece of me To satisfy you're intellectual needs? (Do you want action?) Well, I think it's time ¡®cause you've been pushing me You'd better recognize my superiority
Liar (liar) Liar (liar) - You know you believe it Higher (higher) Higher (higher) - ¡®cause I'm the main man
Chorus: And that's why everyone wants a piece of the action Everybody needs the main attraction I've got what everybody needs - Satisfaction guaranteed Everybody wants a piece of the action
Well, I was suicidal ¡®cause you was my idol Baby, baby, baby bring me to your knees Well there was a time I would've walked the line But you bled me dry with your insatiable greed
Liar (liar) Liar (liar) - You know you believe it Higher (higher) Higher (higher) - ¡®cause I'm the main man
Chorus
Do you want (do you want?) Do you want action Everybody wants, everybody needs Everybody wants, everybody bleeds Let's go!
You kissed your loved one good-bye On a cold, foggy day I guess you didn't know that I'd go so far away You knew there'd come a time When the road would call my name And we'd have to put a hold on All those dreams we made
So take my heart - I've already taken yours This wound won't heal
I'm alone and cold inside - Is there a moment we haven't shared Two hearts drawn as one - Now I stare at an empty chair You called and said last night I've been waiting for your kiss Still I lie here at night as I think of the things I miss
So take my heart - I've already taken yours This wound won't heal
Tell me - do you miss me like I miss you girl? Hold me - in your heart - I'll never be lost again Tell me - do you miss me like I miss you girl? Hold me - in your heart - I'll never be lost again
Distance keeps burning inside of me I need you with me - oh girl, tell me

Tell me - do you miss me like I miss you girl? Hold me - in your heart - I'll never be lost again Tell me - do you miss me like I miss you girl? Hold me - in your heart - In your heart why don't you tell me Tell me - you know, I didn't wanna leave you girl Hold me - in your heart, I've already taken yours Tell me - won't you tell me, do you miss me Do you miss me like I miss you girl? Hold me -I'll never - I'll never be lost again
You kissed your loved one good-bye On a cold, foggy day I guess you didn't know that I'd go so far away You knew there'd come a time When the road would call my name And we'd have to put a hold on All those dreams we made
So take my heart - I've already taken yours This wound won't heal
I'm alone and cold inside - Is there a moment we haven't shared Two hearts drawn as one - Now I stare at an empty chair You called and said last night I've been waiting for your kiss Still I lie here at night as I think of the things I miss
So take my heart - I've already taken yours This wound won't heal
Tell me - do you miss me like I miss you girl? Hold me - in your heart - I'll never be lost again Tell me - do you miss me like I miss you girl? Hold me - in your heart - I'll never be lost again
