A Girl Like You 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 wanna 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Baby Be Good Baby be good, baby every night Better be good, you know it's only right Baby be good, 'til I come back home Baby don't be bad 'cause you're all alone I don't wanna go but I leave today Just remember what I had to say All I ask of you when I go away Is baby be good, baby be good Baby be good, baby every night Better be good, c'mon and let it show Baby be good, try and understand Baby don't be bad with another man If you7re gonna play I don't want to know It would break my heart 'cause I love you so All I wanna say now before I go Is baby be good, baby be good I never really thought that I would lose my heart But I love all the things that you do It's funny 'cause I just don't think you fit the part I always wanna be here with you If yo're gonna play I don't wanna know It would break my heart 'cause I love you so All I wanna say now before I go Is baby be good, baby be good Baby be good, baby every night Better be good, you know it's only right Baby be good 'til I come back home Baby don't be bad 'cause you're all alone I don't wanna go but I leave today Just remember what I had to say All I ask of you when I go away Is baby be good, baby be good ------------------------------------------------------- Blue Period 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 -------------------------------------------------------------- Blues Before And After You know I really wanna see you when you know I might not (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) Yo'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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cut Flowers (Jim Babjak/Pat DiNizio) 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Kiss Your Tears Away And now it's time to go to bed My darling rest your weary head But I have work I should begin So I will tuck you in And I will kiss your tears away I never thought I'd run to you I thought I'd better things to do But now I can't wait for the day When by your side I'll lay And I will kiss your tears away I will give you everything I will make your every dream come true I will be the one you need You know I'm the one to see you through I will give you everything I will make your every dream come true I will be the one you need You know I'm the one to see you through And now it's time to go to bed My darling rest your weary head But I have work I should begin So I will tuck you in And I will kiss your tears away ------------------------------------------------ Maria Elena Little girl, little one He gave his heart to you In this world you'll never know A love that is more true I will all my days That's how it's got to be I believe in true love ways Maria Elena Little girl, now don't you cry You'll meet again someday Why he left, still wonder why There's nothing left to say I will love you all my days You're still a part of me I believe in true love ways Maria Elena Our love will live on through eternity In your life you'll never find Another man who means as much to you as he does I will love you all my days That's how it's got to be I believe in true love ways Maria Elena Little girl, little one He gave his heart to you In this world you'll never know A love that is more true ---------------------------------------------------------- Room Without A View In a room without a view Lots of time, nothing to do I sit, watch the days go by I don't need to wonder why CHORUS In a room without a view Lots of time, nothing to do In a room without a view, without you This room is the perfect size And it never tells me lies Many pleasant memories All repeating worthlessly CHORUS here I find security, no problems here for me This is where I want to be And whether I like it or not, a room without a view is what I've got Here I find security, so please don't bother me This is where I ought to be And whether I like it or not A room without a view is what I've got In a room without a view Lots of time, nothing to do I sit, watch the years go by I don't need to wonder why CHORUS --------------------------------------------------------------------- William Wilson 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 --------------------------------------------------------- Yesterday Girl I never think about the future I just live for today And if you want an easy 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 CHORUS Well I'm not the same guy that you used to know I used to be the guy that had no place to go But that was yesterday girl, yesterday gi 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 And when I think about religion Well, there's no one to blame CHORUS --------------------------------------------------------
