I've known her since we both were kids I recall the silly things we did She would want to ride up on my back To keep from stepping on a crack I didn't think of it back then But even when she did not win She was happy just to play Stoney liked to live out everyday * Stoney, happy all the time Stoney, life is summertime The joy you find in living everyday Stoney, how I love your simple ways The times when no one understood Seems that Stoney always would We'd walk for hours in the sand She would always try and hold my hand

I stopped sending flowers to your apartment You said you aren't home much anymore I stopped dropping by without an appointment Cause I'd hear laughter coming through your door Sometimes late at night you'll still call me Just before you close your eyes to sleep You make me vow to try and stop by sometime Baby that's a promise I can't keep I love you too much to ever start liking you So lets just let the story kinda end I love you too much to ever start liking you So don't expect me to be your friend I don't walk down through the village or other places That we used to go to all the time I'm trying to erase you from my memory Cause thinking of you jumbles up my mind I love you too much to ever start liking you So lets just let the story kinda end I love you too much to ever start liking you So don't expect me to be your friend
You always act so happy when I see you You smile that way you take my hand and then Introduce me to your latest lover That's when I feel the walls start crashing in I love you too much to ever start liking you So lets just let the story kinda end I love you too much to ever start liking you So don't expect me to be your friend

Once upon my boyhood time The circus came to town I remember church going people Talking the carnies down Misfits of society That's what they said to me So I sneaked up close And watched them work And found that actually
They laughed alot They sang out loud The way they walked Made them look kinda proud A little different from you A little different from me A lot like the man who walked Through Galilee
Mr. and Mrs. Goldstein Moved in next door to us The neighbors were indignant They put up quit a fuss The neighborhood had gone to pot And they had worked so hard So I sneaked out back Peeked through the fence And watched them do the yard
They laughed a lot They sang out loud They looked just like the rest Of the crowd A little different from you A little different from me A lot like the man who walked Through Galilee
Everyone is different But everyone's the same Riding around in circles On life's mysterious train
What if other people Thought that way of you Too weak for the circus Too dumb to be a Jew A plain old Joe In wash 'n' wear suit Wasting his life away Or do they look in envy And do or don't they say
They laughed a lot They sang out loud They looked just like the rest Of the crowd A little different from you A little different from me A lot like the man who walked Through Galilee
Thumbing across Georgia I ran into Gloria She seemed like a mystic to me With a wave of her hand She could make you feel grand That was her mystery Now I'll admit she knew a lot of tricks But so do lots of other chicks She didn't do it like you can do magic She didn't do it to me She didn't do it like you can do it She didn't do magic to me Hiking through Virginia I met Melinda She looked enchanting to see She said give me your arm And I'll show you my charms That was her sorcery I say it I will she had a lot of skill But compared to you she was way down hill Arriving in Cleveland I'm coming to see you Get you crystal ball out of the drawer Cause I can tell if you been using you spell And baby I know what for The magic you loaned was to bring me home And baby my love for you has grown So you better do it like you can do magic You better do it to me Cause she didn't do it like you can do it She didn't do magic to me
