My Baby went to Africa
With the dirty lens photographer
My Baby stayin' in jungle land
With a U S body and a real light tan
My Baby went to Africa
With a make-up man and his love-sick lover
She get a couple o' grand and a two-piece suit
Let the folks back home see the native beauty
My Baby went to Africa
Gotta pack my bags and get to her
Before the lions and tigers try to jump on her bones

Got a good education now
And I'm ready for the world (yeah)
We've been going together
It's gonna last forever, it ain't never gonna change
I'm a real hard charger (yeah)
Everybody's gonna listen to me
We're a winning combination, that nobody's gonna rearrange

Big Kids breakin' up 'cause they're lookin' for fun
Everybody's leavin', boy-girl on the run
My situation's static, there's no reason to fear
It's too calm around me and it can't happen here

Big Kids - think they know it all
Big Kids - think they've got the world up against the wall
All the grown-ups show me that they're only Big Kids in disguise
Who do you think your leaders are? Big Kids
Who do you think your heros are? Big Kids
I may never reach maturity but, baby, I'm gonna try

Look at me, I'm running
Ooh, what have I done
Oh, I must have hurt someone
Dark in subway station
Gimme place to hide
Oh, I hear the Voices deep inside
And the Voice is singing

Diddy Doo Wop Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Diddy Doo Wop
Well, it starts in my head and it ends when I stop
Keep singing Diddy Doo Wop

Charlie liked the Beatles
Sam, he liked Rich Girl
I'm still hung up on the Duke of Earl
Reaching for the handle
Slicing through the air
Oh, the Doo Wop Voices everywhere
Oh, the Duke is singing

Diddy Doo Wop Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Diddy Doo Wop
Well, it starts in my head and it ends when I stop
Diddy Doo Wop
I hear the Voices

Baby, if we can't solve any problems
Why do we lose so many tears?
Oh, so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same theme
But can't you see we've got everything going on and

Everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you

Go on and go free
Maybe you're too close to see
I can feel your body move
But does it mean that much to me
I can't go on singing the same theme
"Cause you can't see we've got everything
Baby, even though you know that

Everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
You just don't care

Oh, no, stop bitching indiscretion
You're such an A-1 lover, since when are you perfection
Never true blue to me, so why are you getting nasty
Well, it's lucky for you that I'm gonna keep dancing
Oh, I know

Everyone you do is perfect
Everyone you know is perfect
Everywhere you go is perfect
So on and so on

But you've gotta lotta nerve when you talk about love
If you've gotta lotta nerve we can talk about love
Oh, you've gotta lotta nerve to be talking about love
Yeah, you gotta lotta nerve 'til we talk about love

Listen to you ... your roots will be showing
Better watch what you say and do
Or da cool you'll be blowing
We're talking 16 tones of nerve-a
We're talking perfect nerve

Don't want to face it but I know that it's time to go home
I cannot say what I want to say when we're alone
I've got to leave but I want to stay
Where you are is so far from the U.S. of A.
When we're more than half a world away
It's so hard to be in love with you
Operator, International 011, oh
Put your love on the line, put your ear to the phone
Maybe it's no longer than a night and a day
But where you are is so far from the U.S. of A.
And it ain't so easy, easy on the heart
It's so hard to be in love with you

Please return, come back, I've been saving your place
Too much time has elapsed-unreality-memory erases
The rules and the rights and the wrongs don't apply
Far apart - So together is destiny weeded to fate
I write the script, you direct my dreams
We're along on the beach for the passionate scene
And it's a drag to wake up with you ... saying to me
How does it feel to be back in my arms again
I'm bored and alone and it's weakening me
One night out and I'm looking for trouble and finding it's easy
You know we all make mistakes and we all need the touch of a hand
In the right kind of place, in a time of need
I could pick up the phone, but the talk ain't cheap
I pick up on the thoughts that you're sending to me
And i wait for the day I hear you saying to me
How does it feel to be back in my arms again

My friends wonder why I call you all of the time
What can I say
I don't feel the need to give such secrets away
You think maybe I need help though I know that I'm right
I'm just better off not listening to friends' advice
When they insist on knowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they want to know what the reason is
I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why

(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist
Because your kiss is what I miss when I turn out the light

I go crazy wondering what there is to really see
Did the night just take up your time, 'cause it means more
to me
Sometimes I forget what I'm doing, I don't forget what I
want, what I want
Regret what I've done, regret you? I couldn't go on
And if you insist on knowing my bliss
I'll tell you this
If you want to know what the reason is
I'll only smile when I lie, then I'll tell you why

(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist
Because your kiss is what I miss when I turn out the light

(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life

Make an amendment to the constitution
To preserve the state of our union
I stop believing what you say to me
There's a tragic gap in credibility

When the light is gone from your eyes
And re-entry may be denied
Do I want to expatriate
Or live in the united state

Inflationary insecurity
'Cause a love ain't worth as much as it used to be
Clean break, running away
Should I work it out some way
Watch the tress in the wind when it's starting to blow
Is the reason to leave, is it treason to go
Just appeasing you is the wrong thing, I know
Break away!

What I want, you've got
And it might be hard to handle
But like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame
What I've got's full stock of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how, I can't explain
But You make my dreams come true
On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with the dreamer
I can laugh it in the face
Twist and shout my way out
And wrape yourself around me
'Cause I ain't the way that you found me
I'll never be the same
'Cause You may my dreams come true
I'm down on the daydream
That sleepwalk should be over by now
I know that You make my dreams come true"

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your finger tips
You're trying hard not to show it (baby)
But baby, baby I know it
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
Oh that Lovin' Feeling
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
Now it's gone gone gone oh oh oh

There's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And girl you're starting to criticize little things I do
Ooh, it makes me just feel like crying (baby)
'Cause baby something beautiful's dying
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
Oh that Lovin' Feeling
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling
Not it's gone gone gone oh oh oh

Baby baby I get down on my knees for you
(Get down on my knees)
If you would only love me like you used to
(If you would only love me love me)
We had a love, a love that you don't find everyday
(A love you don't find)
So don't don't don't let it slip away (away)
I said baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
(I'm beggin you please) I'm begging you please
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love
So bring it on back (bring it on back)
Now bring it on back
Now bring it on back

You've got to bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone
And I can't go on oh oh oh

Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone

Try to ignore the twisted side
We kiss and we hiss at the same time
Don't you know some things just don't blow away
You've been this way before, but the cuts just seem to hurt me more

Could be a reason for the difference...
You've been practicing
The art of heartbreak
Practicing

The art of heartbreak
Anticipating what she's aching for
I'm being edgy leave her wanting more
Anyone might think we'd rather be alone

Yeah, she's been cut before by sharp things I've been saying so long
I can't believe the way she takes it
I've been practicing
The art of heartbreak

Practicing
The art of heartbreak
Why do we make it hard, been hitting back and forth for so long
What are we aiming at, there's no score in love

I bet a million bucks she knows but won't let up on me, so
I've just decided to stop

She had sulky smile
She took her standard pose as she presented herself
She had sultry eyes, she made it perfectly plain that she was his
For a price

But he said "Leave me alone, I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite"
He said "Leave me alone, I'm a family man
But if you push me too far I just might"

She wore hurt surprise as she rechecked her make-up to protect herself
Dropped her price and pride she made it totally clear that she was his
For a night

She gave him her look, it would have worked on any other man around
He looked her up and down, she knew he couldn't decide if he should
Hold his ground

She turned, tossed her head unlike her opening move, her final exit line
He waited much too long but by the time he got his courage up she was gone
Then he screamed "Leave me alone, I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite"
He said "Leave me alone, I'm a family man

I'm tired of playing on the team
It seems I don't get time out anymore
What a change if we set the pace face to face
No one even trying to score
Oh oh I can feel the magic of your touch
And when you move in close a little bit means so much
Ooh yeah, you've got to understand baby

Don't ask me to tell you who told me
She was open all night
While I was away

Maybe I don't wanna hear it at all
It's too far to fall so don't say
She was open all night
Don't ask me to tell you who told me
No I don't want to tell you

I know how you spent your time

Skin tight soul delight
Changing her life for another
She dreams magazines
Sees herself on the cover
Anything anytime anywhere
It's fitting in that matters
Faithfully she believes in the look he wants to know better
She knows what she wants
She's an all American girl
She knows what she needs
She's a sold American girl
She knows what she knows
She's an all American girl
She does what she does
She's an all American girl
Sold American
She's got a Double Bubble with a bossanova back
She's a real hot pepper and I like it like that
It's all right you don't have to change your way
You're all right I'm hoping the best part stays
She knows what she wants
She's an all American girl
She knows what she needs
She's a sold American girl
She knows what she knows
She's an all American girl
She does what she does
She's an all American girl
Sold American
Street smart close to the heart gotta be real
More than the clothes you wear
You know what you've got look to your heart
You carry your history there

Street smart close to the heart gotta be real
More than the clothes you wear
You know what you've got look to your heart
You carry your history there

One lonely eye faces the Queen
How far she goes remains to be seen
She can be hard and she knows it
She plays her heart and doesn't show it
Cold night cold like me
No lov elost betting on the King
And it's a hard unknown
Before the hand is showing
The con is out when the eagle flies
If you know the hand is quicker than the eye
Can I bank on your love
Hands down left high and dry
Games in the night are quicker than the eye
That ain't love or affection
The dealer changed direction
Bets are high and I'm losing enough
Won't anybody play fair with my love
'Cause it's hard not knowing
And my heart is showing
The King is out and the eagle flies
Don't you know the hand is quicker than the eye
Can I bank on your love

In the moonlite
Under startlite
Songs old as the night are what I've been dreaming of
Everybody's hard as iron
Locked in a modern world
Dreams are make of a different stuff

I believe love will always be the same
Ways and means are the parts subject to change
M-E-T-H-O-D-O-F-L-O-V-E
It's a method of modern love

I can call you
Got your number
Share my life with you a thousand miles away
If you've hurt me
I haven't shown it
Time's too tight to fight
And we're never face to face
Style is timeless and fashion's only now
We've got the ways no one needs to show us how

Shake it up is all that we know
Using the bodies up as we go
Waking up to fantasy
The shades all around
aren't the colors we used to see
Broken ice still melts in the sun
And times that are broken
can often be one again
We're soul alone
And soul really matters to me
Take a look around
You're out of touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head
when you're not around
Reaching out for something to hold
Looking for a love
where the climate is cold
Manic moves and drowsy dreams
Or living in the middle
between the two extremes
Smoking guns hot to the touch
Would cool down if we didn't use them so much
We're soul alone
And soul really matters to me
Too much

You know there's something you need
Right here and now
To fill the space inside of yourself
Money love or power
When you want to have the number one first run anyone
You're crazy 'til you own them
You ought to know better than that
The more that you buy the less you get back
It's a case of possession obsession
Gimme Gimme

The compulsion to count the percentage of time
Spent between two lovers
Can turn an hour into a crime
And all the good times suffer
Though you know it's only jealousy
You can't help but be
Haunted by your passion
Don't you know it's a matter of fact
The more that you take the less you give back
Just a taste of possession obsession
Brings a case of possession obsession
Gimme GImme

I feel like I could run away
Looking at a darker day
Oh I'm pulling the shades away from my eyes
It's true the moody manners come and go
And it's better that you never know

Some things are better left unsaid
Some strings are better left undone
Some hearts are better left unbroken
Some lives are better left untouched
Some lies are better off believed
Some words are better left unspoken

My ideas seem to frighten you
Are you really that afraid to move
Oh I guess that it's your right to reason
I'm still dealing with a force that's so strong
The force is stringing us along

I feel like I could run away
Looking at a darker day
Oh I'm pulling the shades away from my eyes
It's true the moody manners come and go
And it's better that you never know

Some hearts are better left unbroken
Some lives are better left untouched
Some lies are better off believed
Some words are better left unspoken

Are you really that afraid to move
Oh I guess that it's your right to reason
I'm still dealing with a force that's so strong
The force is stringing us along

Why don't you pack I'll take you back
to the countryside
Now's the time
I've got a little place in mind.
We don't need no neighbors making noise at night,
dogs that fight
You'll sleep like a child,
the city steaming miles away.

Never thought you'd see the good life
Let me tell you how it feels
We can let our hearts be open, wide,
so all our love will come through.

Up and gone, we'll be moving on
when the morning comes
This is the way,
I heard that it's supposed to be.
I can almost see the flowers growing there
taste the air
We've waited awhile,
I never thought we'd see the day.

There's a thunder storm 'a brewin'
And the day is turning gray
There ain't much to say about the weather
The shower stall is leakin'
And the ceiling's fallin' in
And I'm getting twenty bills to every letter

I've got to move myself out to the country
I'm lookin' out for any place at all
I'm gonna spend another Fall In Philadelphia

A roving band of youths beat up on Johnny
Everybody's gettin' richer sellin' that dope
Say, the stolen bikes are gathering by the thousands
Along with seven million people without a hope

I guess I have to face the fact as real
I think I feel my back up against the wall
I'm gonna spend another Fall In Philadelphia

Georgie was a skinny kid
Fond of angling, fonder of dangling his feet in the cool
brook water
While the Reverend's daughter
Sat at his side and fluttered his face with the fuzz of a
dandelion.

Long about noontime
Floating 'cross the field, Georgie heard the peel of a bell
being rung by the parson
Time for his lesson
As much as he hated it, the preacher was teachin' him to
play the accordion.

"Don't go Georgie!" said the Reverend's daughter
"When Daddy comes lookin' we can duck in the water."
They both went out and dipped down to hide
But the girl caught her locket on an underwater branch
and the next thing she knew... she died

Preacher was a sorry mess
He was cryin', shoutin' 'bout her dyin' and livin' the
eternal life
Should 'a seen his wife
Sobbin' on the ground as the wind rustled round
and tickled the keys
Made Georgie's accordion give an awful dyin' wheeze

Funny how the times can change as fast as we can run
Sad to say we had to part when the fun had just begun
Now he night is over
And I'm waiting for the day we can be together
And we can say Goodnight and Goodmorning
From the Dark to the Dawning

I can't believe that I'm in love and you're the one
I can hear a song of love and our song has just begun
When the music's over and we finally walk away
We can walk together
And we can say Goodnight and Goodmorning
From the Dark to the Dawning

Why don't you write me
Call me on the phone
Send Western Union
You can find me home
I say I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry

You know I bled you
Led you on a lie
You say I fooled you
Who's the fool tonight
I say I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry

High
Love in motion
Walking on the ocean of your sorrow
Round turned the tables
Lost
I am a man with no tomorrow

Lopsided lovin' got me in the end
Looks like I'm done in
Now there's no pretending
Ooh I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry

Would you work for a reason, Lazyman
Do your thoughts have expression, Lazyman
Does life pass you by while you don't even try
To grab hold of a minute and use all the time that's in it,
Lazyman

What's your latest excuse Lazyman
Is your neck botherin' you, Lazyman
You're content to rely on the talented guy
Then you make a short edit
and take all of the credit for the song

Lazyman, you really bring me down
Lazyman how can you lie around
Won't you stop what you're doing
And start doing something
Lazyman

Is your ass getting sore, Lazyman
Sitting there on the floor, Lazyman
At least write down your feeling
Though it may not be appealing,
The way you say it might be worth the time
You never know

Lilly, laughing lady,
does your smile disguise the tears inside?

Lilly, lonely lady,
only silhouette your happy side.

You give yourself to men who take your love.
Then smile and watch them walk away...
Are you tired of giving Lilly?
Are you really happy?

Lilly, laughing lady,
are you satisfied to live a lie?

Lilly, lonely lady,
is it in the stars for you to try?

Do you fulfill yourself with lies and dreams?
You seem contented with your life?
Does it only gild the lilly
or does it make you happy?

Riding out along the river
stopping by the pines
It's nice for someone speaking, to be heard,
by heart and mind
Lying on the needle floor
the city seems so far
Moving with your eyes and smile,
your words told who you are
Sunday grey, one window brings the morning
and your words, like dawn, have opened up my eyes
I've been on a sleepy ride without much time for thinking
'til I spent one evening by your Southeast City
Window side
Baby hair a blowin'
in the Sunday morning air
Dreaming on another place and time,
wish we were there
In your dreams you're far away
and I'm right behind
You know, it's nice for someone speaking. to be heard,
by heart and mind

Thank you for walking
Thank you for spending one day,
with a stranger

Good morning. Hello! Choose a color, carnation
we'll walk along.

Down round the pond, up the hill bricks and steeples
it's not all gone... I recall

Thank you for walking
Thank you for spending one day,
with a stranger

Thank you for talking
and showing the way to a stranger

Wining and dining (what a September)
from bags by the river ( I should've worn a sweater)
a sun, sail, song (it's cooler up here)

We sat on a wall (oh my)
rest our feet (just a little longer)
touch our noses

then slow poke on... oh, I recall

One red carnation
the color for April
and apples
and wine

I suppose it was white... but I needed the rhyme.

As I packed up to leave oh, I noticed the fountain,
the statue's hand.

There in her bronzed, moistened, palm
red carnation
without you there... I recall

They started as children and grew to be friends
He with his sculptor's hands she with her needle
They went through some bitter times alone and together
They were lovers and friends, but friends more than
lovers
Sharing each other with their own private worlds

He knew that she needed him, he couldn't come
He needed her, but she could not answer his needs

He sculpted he form only both of them knew
He yearned to finish before she would leave him forever
But before he was finished, she disappeared
And seized with sadness, he crumbled the statue to bits

Form and friend, gone forever
Both crumbled down to memory

He knew that she needed him, he couldn't come
He needed her, but she could not answer his needs

I hear you call me, Waterwheel
Spin round, round in a circle
Gracing my child dreams on fantasy hill
Spin round, round in a circle
Flash! paddles sending a spray to the air
Lately, my thoughts are still-
With you there as you spin round,
Round in a boyhood daydream
Spin round

My thoughts are drifting to a quieter time
(Spin round, round in a circle)
Green covered slippery water-rocks I used to climb
(Spin round, round in a circle)
Father and child walking down by the canyon
Lately, my thoughts are still-
With them there as they spin round,
Round in a boyhood daydream
Spin round

I know what it's like to be forgotten
Left alone with your simple dreams
But even dreams are fading fast
No one to turn to when you can't sleep at night
Waking up to another day that will soon be over
And if you think that time has forgotten you
Well just look into my eyes
And know the times we'll change

Don't hold back your love
I know it's here
I wanna see it come to life before my eyes
Don't hold back your love
Show me your heart
Cause I will always be here by your side

Don't be mistaken there's still some work to do
Gotta get up every single day
Face the judge and jury
No one will notice they've got their own lives
We've got something they all want
It'll be their surprise
And if you think there is no place to run
Just hold onto my hand
And face whatever comes

<chorus>

One more chance to find the higher ground
One more chance before the curtain's down
One more night to turn your life around again

You push my buttons hard
And don't even realize what you're doing is killing my soul
Do you think I'm just some prize
You can win and then discard after the thrill is gone?
Well, listen then

I ain't gonna take it this time
I ain't gonna take that from anyone
I ain't gonna take it this time
Guess I'm gonna break out

You know I try to please
I lay awake at night
Trying to find the words you'll understand
But when I'm nothing but sincere
I know you can't be hearing
Cause you say it's more of the same
Well, listen then

<chorus>

Do you think I'd ever try to fool you
There are enough lies in the world
You don't need mine
If I can't win your heart and move you
You must be blind

They met on the dance floor in the old high school gym,
He fell like a rock, she kinda liked him.
And his heart beat like thunder, as they moved cross the floor,
When the music was over, she slipped out of his arms, and out the door.

Yeah a man loves a woman, but he can't understand,
Why she's sad when she stares, at the ring on her hand.
Or she sits in some club, where the long shadows fall.
Drops a coin in the jukebox, not the phone on the wall.

So close, yet so far away.
So close, yet so far away.
We believe in tomorrow, maybe more than today.
Were so close, so close, yet so far away.

Some people think, if you really believe,
That's what you need to solve all the mysteries.
Yea I know someone, who just heads for the sun,
She says "I don't wanna be wise, I just wanna stay young".

So close, yet so far away.
So close, yet so far away.
We believe in tomorrow, though were stuck in today.
Baby were so close, so close, yet so far away.

There's a restless look in your eye tonight.
There's a secret hurt in my heart.
And the dream that pulls us together girl,
Is a dream, thats gonna tear us, tear us apart.

There's a restless look in your eye tonight,
Oh, are you lookinfor some way out of here.
We gotta fight to keep it together girl,
For the dream, that keeps us,

So close, yet so far away.
So close, yet so far away.
Who would of thought girl that wed end up this way.
Gettingso close, so close,
So far away.

Were living in a dream world.
Yet were livintoday girl.
Just you and me baby.
Gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try.

Starting all over again is gonna be rough, so rough
But we're gonna make it
Starting all over as friends is gonna be rough, on us
But we gotta face it

We lost what we had
That's why it hurt so bad
It set us back a thousand years
We're gonna make it up
Though it's gonna be rough
To erase all the hurt and tears

Starting all over again is gonna be hard
But I pray that the love will help us make it
Starting all over again is gonna be slow
But we both know that we can make it

We gotta take life as it comes
And never worry about who's right or wrong
It's an uphill climb
To the finish line
We're gonna try to make it
One more time

Starting all over again is gonna be rough, so rough
But we're gonna make it
Starting all over as friends is gonna be tough, on us
But we gotta face it

Starting all over again is gonna be hard
But I pray that the love will help us make it
Starting all over again is gonna be slow
We both know that we're gonna make it

When you find yourself alone
and when going out is coming home
you rely on "the kid" `cause there's nobody waiting around
if you're not an easy mark
it's a shot in the dark that hits the heart
I know when it's coming
(I thought so anyway)
Some things stay the some and some are due for change
I thought I had them all nailed down
but you turned `em around
You did you did it you did it you Did it in a minute
it didn't take long

Well I still can't say I know
when a love is real or touch and go
and if two can be one, who is the one two becomes
am I quick enough to see
when I'm ready and it's right for me
say that I want it (I think so anyway)
everybody always laughs at love
but what they want is to be proven wrong
then you came along and I did it

Dial your number
Tape reply:
"I'm not at home right now, but leave your name
And I will call you Friday Night. Call you Friday good bye."
Hearing you and waiting make the days drag slowly
On the phone, oh no the tape again
Don't say not at home, no way
Friday let me down tonight

Weekend comes I try again
I hear the same recording
Hasn't changed
"I'm not at home right now. Leave your name and I will call you."

Head above water

My kind of humor kind of keeping me dry
On the horizon, water touches the sky

Head Above Water

Easy ready willing overtime

For days & days go up & go down
looking for a sign from you
what you want where you goin'
what you thinking about
a lot of good it will do
why are you fighting me
why are you teasing me
why are you wearing me
if you're not at ease with me
I'm Lookin' for a Good Sign
I know that it might be a waste of my time
I'm always Lookin' for a Good Sign
I've gotta keep on tryin'

Beware of the curves, always signal your turns
soft shoulders slow you down, you know
there are signs to explain all conditions on the way
there's where to stop & which way to go

should we have signed off before
I've got a lot in my heart
there's a light in your eyes
don't you think that there could be some more.

too scared to reach out maybe afraid of what they'll find
but a hand stuck in a pocket come up empty every time
Now you better believe the writing on the wall
all for one one for all
woman to woman and man to man
face to face heart to heart hand to hand
Mano a Mano
Hand to Hand
Mano a Mann
See a lot of people fighting for the left or the right
fighting people see black or white
you'd like to go your way sure I'd like to go mine
but we're all in this together running out of time
Woman to woman and man to man
heart to heart and hand to hand
set on example for all the little boys and girls
for the hand that rocks the cradle can rule the world
Mano a Mano
Hand to Hand
Mano a Mano

Some Men call half way around the world if they've got a phone game to play
Then again some men call their mom every day
Old boys drink bad beer and throw the cans out in the street
Playboys sit and sip red wine, some drink malt whiskey neat
So if you can, you talk about Some Men
If you can, you can talk about Some Men
Baby if you can, you can talk about Some Men
If you can, you can talk about Some Men
Colonels collect animal heads and hang their guns up on the wall
Corn balls watch television then pull a gun out in the hall
Crew-cut rainbows hang on streets hoping they'll find a friend
Odd balls running fast enough hope that they won't find their end
So if you can, you can talk about Some Men
Baby if you can, you can talk about Some Men
Sleep all night work all day
Work all night sleep all day
Drink all night sick all day
Sick all night drink all day
Dream all night if you can
We ain't soldiers so don't Generalize
No categories because it takes all kinds
You can sleep all night you can work all day
You can trip all night peak all day
If you can, you can talk about Some Men

When I look in your eyes I can see there's more than passion there
Something ugly and lovely is tuning in just behind your stare
Yeah, I've seen it before and I think that I'd know it anywhere
So Tell Me girl What You Want
I know you know

Grin and bare it, no no I like what you're wearing
You gotta leave it on all night
As above so below so they say so can we do the Magick [sic] right
Kiss and tell, when I know you so well there's no need to be polite
That's right
So Tell Me girl What You Want
I know you know

Take a position `cause you know I'm gonna listen to you
Tell me
Ain't no conditions, no there isn't baby ya don't have to sell me
`Cause I love you and I want you tonight
So Tell Me girl What You Want
I know you know.

Maybe I speak too soon
Maybe I play too hard
and I listen to major worries in a minor way
you sent your message to me
Made a move that I'd understand
When you moved from a ticket in line
To a room in L.A.
There was a time spit second I could have said please
Fool around and my guard was down by a few degrees
An unguarded minute has an accident in it.
I guess I should have tried a little bit
Yeah, I could have changed
I could be anything that ya want
But it wouldn't be me
Do anything that you say
Use any thought to armor the way
So do you love them man that I am,
or what you want me to be
I wanna hold you now but I can let you go
So anytime you can do better just let me know
An unguarded minute has an accident in it
I wanna hold you tight.
