Just tell me what you've got to say to me I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth It comes as no surprise at all you see So cut the crap and tell me that we're through
Now I know your heart, I know your mind You don't even know you're bein' unkind So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways Just use me up and then you walk away Boy, you can't play me that way
Well I guess what you say is true I could never be the right kind of girl for you
CHORUS:
I could never be your woman I could never be your woman I could never be your woman I could never be your woman
When I saw my best friend yesterday She said she never liked you from the start Well me, I wish that I could claim the same But you always knew you held my heart
And you're such a charming, handsome man Now I think I finally understand Is it in your genes? I don't know But I'll soon find out, that's for sure Why did you play me this way
Well I guess what you say is true I could never be the right kind of girl for you
(CHORUS)
Well I guess what they say is true I could never spend my life with a man like you
Let me help you get undressed I'm no better than the rest And I know you can see through All I've said today But for an hour maybe two It will just be me and you We can find a place where no-one Ever wants to go I can make it if you stay I can't take it if you go I've had too many one night stands I've had too many broken plans Now when I need someone I find Myself alone And I know it's the same for you You've told me all that you've been through, We can put the past behind
All we'll share today I can make it if you stay I can't take it if you go
Let me help you get undressed I'm no better that the rest And I know you can see through All I've said today But for an hour maybe two Let's pretend I'm the man for you It will almost seem like nothing Ever, ever changed I can make it if you stay I can't take it if you go I can make it if you stay I can't take it if you go
Well I don't think that I know you I've never seen you here Before all though I could be wrong And though this music doesn't move me Thrill or even soothe me I think I might dance to just this one song Is that your brother dancing with you? He's giving me some funny looks I though you said you were on your own Look, I know I'm no oil painting But my face doesn't need re-arranging And I'm quite attached to all my bones.
This isn't the way things were meant to be Now he's waiting outside with his mates for me. "Thursday at the Blue Note".
You're crying, cuz I've spilt your paints again, But in a few short years, You'll understand true life pain When those baby eyes of yours, Have turned the brightest blue, And boys fall into them You just won't know what to do. And I can see you trying. To make him understand, And I can see him ask why He can't be your man.
Now winter's around us. And your kisses keep me warm again, but when the spring brings the flowers, Will they wash away with the rain? And when the land is wrapped in white, We're as happy as kids could be. I'll let you win every snowball fight, If you'll only stay with me.
And I can see you trying. To make him understand, And I can see him ask why He can't be your man.
I see you're leaving, Has March really come so soon? I don't want to pressure you. But can we make a date a week next June? And I never understand. Why you run away Because I know he's waiting for you, Every sunny, cloudless day.
And I can see you trying. To make him understand, And I can see him ask why He can't be your man.
And I can see me trying. To make you understand, And I can see me ask why I can't be your man.
Just tell me what you've got to say to me I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth It comes as no surprise at all you see So cut the crap and tell me that we're through
Now I know your heart, I know your mind You don't even know you're bein' unkind So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways Just use me up and then you walk away Boy, you can't play me that way
Well I guess what you say is true I could never be the right kind of girl for you
CHORUS:
I could never be your woman I could never be your woman I could never be your woman I could never be your woman
When I saw my best friend yesterday She said she never liked you from the start Well me, I wish that I could claim the same But you always knew you held my heart
And you're such a charming, handsome man Now I think I finally understand Is it in your genes? I don't know But I'll soon find out, that's for sure Why did you play me this way
Well I guess what you say is true I could never be the right kind of girl for you
(CHORUS)
Well I guess what they say is true I could never spend my life with a man like you
I can't understand After everything that we planned, How you could turn around to me and whisper goodbye. Well I've been dropped before But not so high off the floor And I just can't seem to pick myself up again. If it's something that I said That made you feel this way, Then I take back every word from the first
hello, But most likely I know. Your parents said baby no And the boy you told your friends about just had to go. Well it's a white town with green trees. And nothing in love is free So if it's not worth fighting for It's worth nothing at all.
Here's the best I can do So far away from you As the ocean holds the sky So I try to hold your eyes And I know the world is turning I know it's yesterday for you But the shape we're giving love Could never be untrue
Choose the way you want to be That doesn't mean him or me Love is so much more that flesh How to hurt and how to kiss
And I know the world is turning I know it's yesterday for you But the shape we're giving love Could never be untrue
I wish I'd known you when I could have made a change I would have been a friend I would have given you anything
As you touch near your heart Are we really far apart? Yes I know distance kills But it can't fight love's will
And I know the world is turning I know it's yesterday for you But the shape we're giving love Could never be untrue
And we know the world is turning We know that yesterday is due. But this shape we're giving love Can never be untrue. This shape can never be untrue.
You didn't notice I existed that night I jumped & I waved Even shouted your name that night But it's all the same You'll never see me again All I wanted You see my face But it's all the same You'll never see me again All I wanted
You're so pretty You turn me inside out And I only say this Because I know I'm not
But it's all the same You'll never see me again
All I wanted You see my face But it's all the same You'll never see me again All I wanted
And now I'm standing And you've left me with what? And now you thank me for what you've got
But it's all the same you'll never see me again All I wanted You see my face But it's all the same You'll never see me again All I wanted
Take a look at where you're going Do you know where you come from? Seems like you've spent your life just searching, In the length of just one song But you know you're going nowhere Like so many of your age This has gone on far too long now To be dismissed as another phase
Well you can turn the clock back Pretend that you're still young and unaware. But everyone that you lack weighs upon your mind, When she's not there
I don't want to break your heart, I don't want to let you down It's just that I always thought Life would be more than just Going nowhere somehow.
Now your friends are disappearing
They're getting scarcer day by day You've only got yourself to blame for that, You always wanted things that way Cos it's easier being lonely Than being let down again and again When you're standing on edge of things, It means you never have to pretend.
Well you can turn the clock back Pretend that you're still young and unaware. But everyone that you lack weighs upon your mind, When she's not there
I don't want to break your heart I don't want to let you down It's just that I always thought Life would be more than just Going nowhere somehow.
Here my child Rest your head on me. Cos I'm the safest man you'll ever meet. I'll tell you a story I won't expect you to believe About a boy who lost his reason to deceive It's the death of my desire
While I grew up I hid behind a smile. I was never allowed to be an average child. And now the years have forced me to be a man. I find I can't go Along with this meaningless sham.
It's the death of my desire.
I want to find a new way But I can't make it on my own, I want a partner in crime So I don't feel so alone.
So come to bed, I won't disturb your sleep. Cos I've a secret I'm determined not to keep I see you understand my point of view, You're safe because there's nothing I need from you.
Once I flew And it made my fingertips sing I was more like a God than a King Now I can't believe that was true Once I flew Though you don't believe me I know You look where I'm standing now You can't believe I left the ground.
Look up to the bright blue sky Can't you feel life passing by If you could wouldn't you Try to soar over everything? All the pain this world can bring Once I flew now I've lost my wings Now I'm down here with you Now I'm down here with you
Once I flew And the angels were my friends They would grant me every whim Now I can't believe that was true Once I flew Though it's easy to forget I don't seem to have managed yet.
And I don't think I ever will
Look up to the bright blue sky Can't you feel the life passing by? If you could wouldn't you Try to soar over everything? All the pain this world can bring Once I flew now I've lost my wings Now I'm down here with you Now I'm down here with you.
And in my dreams I am happy again You're in my arms and we're flying again, Flying away.
