I used to travel in the shadows
And I never found the nerve to try and walk up to you But now I am a man and I know that there's no time to waste There's too much to lose Girl you say anything at all, and you know that you can call And I'll be right there for you First love, heartbreak, tough luck, big mistake What else can you do [Chorus] I'll say anything you want to hear I'll see everything through I'll do anything I have to do Just to win the love of a girl like you, a girl like you People talk and people stare, tell them I don't really care This is the place I should be And if they think it's really strange for a girl like you To be in love with someone like me I want to tell them all to go to hell That we're doing very well without them you see That's just the way it is and they will see I am yours and you are mine the way it should be [Chorus] Now if I seem a little wild, there's no holding back I'm trying to get a message to you I won't take anything from anyone I won't walk and I won't run, I believe in you London, Washington, anywhere you are I'll run Together we'll be Inside, outside, got my pride I won't let him take you from me [Chorus] |

She's written in the wind.
I see her face everywhere I go. She follows me in my dreams. I wake with teardrops on my pillow. Love comes and goes. Everybody knows I'm alone at midnight. I spoke with her on the phone. It's been three years since we said hello. The years flow by like a dream. We talked a while, then she had to go. Love comes and goes. Everybody knows I'm alone at midnight. Teardrops are falling along down. My heart is calling to you. Midnight is calling. I hear the sound So sad and lonely for you. If you see her around, Won't you please tell her I said hello. The years flow by like a dream. I wake with teardrops on my pillow. Love comes and goes. Everybody knows I'm alone at midnight. |

Little baby, are you all alone tonight?
In my dreams, you love me, everything's all right Should have told you that I loved you all along When I try to speak, the words all come out wrong And I'm still enchanted by your funny ways And I'm gonna love you for the rest of my days And heaven is never very far, anywhere you are In my lonely room, I think of you again Lazy afternoons and gentle falling rain Night and day and all these tears I cry for you Can't believe this is the end, goodbye, we're through 'Cause I'm still enchanted by your funny ways And I'm gonna love you for the rest of my days And heaven is never very far, anywhere you are And I'm still enchanted by your funny ways And I'm gonna love you for the rest of my days And heaven is never very far, anywhere you are Little baby, are you all alone tonight?

She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
She had legs that never ended I was halfway paralyzed. She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul. Now I lie in bed and think of her Sometimes I even weep, Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep. Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band And she stood just like Bill Wyman Now I am her biggest fan. Now I know i'm one of many who would like to be your friend And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them. Now I lie in bed and think of her Sometimes I even weep, Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep. Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town. Called you up to have a drink, Your roommate said you weren't around. Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them. Now I lie in bed and think of her Sometimes I even weep, Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep. Behind the wall of sleep. Behind the wall of sleep. Behind the wall of sleep. |

Seems like yesterday Saw you standing in the rain Then I heard you say I want to love but it comes out wrong I want to live but I don't belong I close my eyes and I see Blood and roses Love flowers in the springtime October we were wed In wintertime the roses died The blood ran cold And then she said I want to love but it comes out wrong I want to live but I don't belong I close my eyes and I see Blood and roses It was long ago Seems like yesterday Saw you standing in the rain Then I heard you say I need your love but it comes out wrong I try to live but I don't belong I close my eyes and I see Blood and roses Blood and roses Blood and roses Blood and roses |

> Blue period, black comedy
Such a joke I've played on me I let you go And now I know a world of uncertainty Now I think about the days When I let you down in so many ways That's the time I want to cry And the time I wonder why and pray My apathy is tragedy I'm content to stay inside This emptiness is killing me I can run but I can't hide And you loved me all along When I always did you wrong That's the time I can't forget And it fills me with regret always when you think that you have won Then your heartache's just begun Blue period, black comedy Love's a clown, now laugh my way I think of you Much more than I'd ever be willing to say Now I don't want to pretend I was glad to see us ending this way That's the time I want to cry And the time I wonder why and pray Blue period, I'm looking for someone who Is just like you, to help end this blue period |

(And you make me want you more when you hurt me a lot) I say I really love you and you say that you don't (And it really turns me on when you say that you won't) CHORUS The blues before and after I get the blues before and after I'm with you The blues before and after I get the blues before and after loving you Sometimes I need to hear you voice Sometimes I don't want to know (I get so tired of tryin' to win you I just don't want to know) You're takin' just what you need And then you're well on your way (I hear the same old story almost every day) CHORUS It's a shame that you won't see me when I need you tonight Cause I know that if you did then everything would be right And I've tried my very best to give the things that you need But the blues they seem to follow me I never succeed I wanna take you in my arms and you just don't wanna know (When I finally get to touch you, feels like forty below) Just as always you have gotten your way Just a normal complication in a typical day CHORUS ~wc~ |

Sentimental gestures never meant that much to me
But if I had her here today I'd shed a tear for all the world to see [Chorus] Cut flowers sent to a girl with sentimental ways Cut flowers meant more to her on ordinary days A gentle girl who needed all the love I had to give But I was blind to her and would not give What she needed most to live [Chorus] Cut flowers pressed between the pages of a book she gave I go to her and say, "I'm sorry," Then I put cut flowers on her grave [Chorus] |

And now that you are here I can't believe How wonderful it is to be here by your side To see you in the light In your evening dress tonight Everytime I think you've gone away There's only one thing left that's on my mind And everytime I think about your pretty face My arms around you tight In your evening dress tonight In your evening dress tonight Time after time you put up with me Time after time I refused to see Time after time you are in misery But what more can I do? In your evening dress tonight In your evening dress tonight I've been thinking about your all day long And now that you are here I can't believe And now I know that I would give up everything To see you in the light In your evening dress tonight -you take it all back and then you throw it away |

Even my hangover's fine. Woke up on a groovy Tuesday. Hung my mind out on the line. Tuesday's groovy. Tuesday's groovy. Now, I know that nothing lasts. Woke up on a groovy Tuesday, Everything is not the same. Woke up on a groovy Tuesday. Think I'll even change my name. Tuesday's groovy. Tuesday's groovy. Now, I know that nothing lasts. And I can't help it if I'm not the one you need. It doesn't matter if I'm still the lost ball in the weeds. Woke up on a groovy Tuesday, Flower pot, man, looked my way. Woke up on a groovy Tuesday.

I'm gettin' hungry, I just can't wait Not just any kind of burger will do I'm being hit by those White Castle blues White Castle blues I think I'll get some crisp onion rings To compliment 10 of those little square things An orange soda or a milkshake will do I'm being hit by those White Castle blues White Castle blues I was first introduced to those bastards by Duke On a hot summer night when we went out to cruise But memories such as Bobbo and puke Are just part of the saga of White Castle blues Saturday night and it's gettin' late I'm gettin' hungry, I just can't wait Not just any kind of burger will do I'm being hit! Hey! (x8) [Random quotes] |

I take my time and I like to move slow
Why should I worry when there's nowhere to go? I like things simple and my friends are alright I tell no stories and I sleep good at night Things were different just before I met you Now I worry wonderin' what to do I was happy never playin' your game Now you tell me that your name is William Wilson I run up the staircase and there's nobody there I play my records and then I haven't a care My ears to the speaker and the heartache's forgot Sometimes I'd forget you, other times I could not I'd lie crying on the top of my bed I was wonderin' 'bout the life you led I would cry for you and call out your name Now you say no one's to blame but William Wilson William Wilson, William Wilson William Wilson, let him run wild I want to talk to him I want to talk to him Where is he now? Where is he now? I wanna be like him I want to see him grin Where is he now? Where is he now? I'd lie crying on the top of my bed I was wonderin' 'bout the life you led Now I understand we're both just the same Now I tell you that my name is William Wilson William Wilson, let him run wild Let him run wild |

I never think about the future
I just live for today And if you want a ready answer I've got nothing to say So please don't bother talking to me I'll just disappoint you Because I'm quite content to sit right here With nothing to do Well I'm not the same guy that you used to know I used to be the guy that had someplace to go But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl Yesterday girl, yesterday girl And you're my yesterday girl, yesterday girl Yesterday girl, yesterday girl I never wanna find an answer 'cause I don't like the truth And if I find just what I'm looking for I've something to lose So please don't go and ask me questions I just won't feel the same (I'll do what you say, doesn't matter anyway) And when I think about religion Well, there's no one to blame (I'll agree with you, doesn't matter what I do) Well I'm not the singer that you used to know I used to be the ??? fella with someplace to go But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl Yesterday girl, yesterday girl And you're my yesterday girl, yesterday girl Yesterday girl, yesterday girl {Tell me something new, then I might agree with you I live for today, not yesterday) I never think about the future I just live for today And if you want an easy answer I've got nothing to say Now I'm not the singer that you used to know I used to be the guy that had someplace to go But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl Yesterday girl, yesterday girl And you're my yesterday girl, yesterday girl Yesterday girl, yesterday girl |
