"We Were Always Sweethearts"

"We Were Always Sweethearts"


We were always sweethearts
Different in our ways
Together we spent happy hours
And oh happy days
Laughing in the sunshine
And crying in the rain
Together we knew happy days
We never knew no pain... yeah

Cloudy day sunny sunshine
Happy days will never be the same
I was her man
And she my queen
Together we knew happy days honestly
Lying in the grass
And laying on our butts.. yeah yeah

We were always different
Different in our ways
Together we knew happy hours
And oh happy ways
Lying out together
And never mind the weather
Together we knew happy days
We never had it better.. yeah

Cloudy days sunny sunshine
Happy days will never be the same

Times can be
So hard to be
Never never knowing we're together... yeah

Happy days will never be the same

"We're All Alone"

"We're All Alone"


Outside the rain begins
And it may never end
So cry no more
On the shore a dream
Will take us out to sea
For ever more
For ever more

Close your eyes ami
And you can be with me
'Neath the waves
Through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone
We're all alone

Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out let it all begin
Learn how to pretend

Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do lovers too so cast
Your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear
Oh hold me dear

Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out let it all begin
Alls forgotten now
We're all alone
All alone

Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out let it all begin
Throw it to the wind my love
Hold me dear

All's forgotten now my love
We're all alone....

Beneath the waves
Through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone we're all alone

Close the window calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out let it all begin
Learn how to pretend

Once a storys told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do lovers too so cast
Your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear oh hold me dear

Close the window calm the light

"We're Gonna Roll"

"We're Gonna Roll"


Out last night and the night before
But I ain't set foot outside my door
In my neighborhood you can come on in
Everyone would be there if they ever been

Find out where they came from
Found out where they went
Life these days ain't no accident
Grab em off the corner get em on the phone
Get em all together and bring em all along

We're gonna roll onto the break of day
We're gonna roll all through the month of May
We're gonna roll
We're gonna roll it all up
And then we'll roll it all away

You can put your things off
I don't mind
Well take me off
Takes all kinds
Feeling's gonna get you
Right down to your soul
Let it all out let the good times roll

Mad mans a comin here
He's bringing the sky
He always goes God knows why
Break out the glasses pay up the rent
This boy is heaven sent

We're gonna roll onto the break of day
We're gonna roll all through the month of May
We're gonna roll
We're gonna roll it all up
And then we'll roll it all away

"We're Waiting"

"We're Waiting"


Holding hands across an episode
Hours after you had hit the road

There are
There are a few
There are
There are a few of us who wait around for

Afternoons around the lazy lawn
Calling ducks to shoot them off the pond
Clearly it's a waste of time
No they're not real shells
Just that there is nothing else to do

Maybe we should wait for you

There are
There are a few
There are
There are a few of us who wait around for

Visions of a beauty that I used to see
Through a garden window a lover showed to me
Melting on the mirror in a most seductive pool
Maybe we could take a dip or two

Maybe we should wait for you

There are
There are a few
There are
There are a few of us who wait around for

Maybe we should wait for you

There are
There are a few
There are
There are a few of us who wait around for

(We're waiting.. we're waiting.. we're waiting.. we're waiting)
(We're waiting .. we're waiting.. we're waiting.. we're waiting)

To see if mountains ever ever move
See if miracles come true

See if mountains ever ever move

"What Can I Say"

"What Can I Say"


(What can I say...what can I do)

Three a.m. its me again and wouldn't you know
Things would have to end this way
I did my best the perfect guest knew when to go
Perfect you knew when to stay

Come on tell me that you're lonely dear
I've been feeling down some too
After all this time now aint it clear
I've been waiting just for you

(What can I say)
Oh to make you know baby
(What can I do)
Oooh show you that I care
(What can I say)
Mmmmm got to have your number baby
(What can I do)
Do...oooooooo

Can't you see the people just stop and stare
Don't it make you wonder why
I just happened to be standing there
Can't you see it in my eyes

(What can I say)
Ooooh you got me acting like a fool girl
(What can I do)
Oooh stop making like a little school girl
(What can I say)
Could be your lucky day baby
(What can I do)
Ooooh... talk to me
Ooooh... talk to me girl

(What can I say)
Oh to make you know baby
(What can I do)
Oooh to show you that I care
(What can I say)
Oooh I'm all down on my knees
Please please please
What can I say
Oooh what can I do...

"What Do You Want The Girl To Do"

"What Do You Want The Girl To Do"


So you think the girl is crazy
To eat up your lies like it's good
(Your lies like apple pie)
(She don't even cry)
She is not a fool
She's just tryin to do
What her heart says do
To love you

And as you take to the wind
(to the wind again she breaks down)
And as she breaks down within
(within within)

She waits for you patiently
Hoping that some day you'll see
All she really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone eternally

What do you want the girl to do
Don't you know you're breaking the child in two
What do you want the girl to do
All she really wants is you

She knows what you are
Still she'll be your queen if you'll let her
(Just say the word today)
Oh if you'll let her
(Build the world around her)
Now and then you'll promise
All the way-out things you're going to get her
(You will see you will see)
Maybe she knows better
(So damn glad you found her found her)
As she watched you come and go
(All your show)
And as she watched your promises erode

She waits for your patiently
Hoping that some day you'll see
All she really wants to be is yours and yours alone
Eternally

What do you want the girl to do
Can't you see you're breaking the child in two
What do you want the girl to do
All she really wants is you

What do you want the girl to do
Don't you know you're breaking the child in two
What do you want the girl to do
Can't you see you're breakin' the child in two

"What's New"

"What's New"


What's new
How is the world treating you
You haven't changed a bit
Lovely as ever I must admit

What's new
How did that romance come through
We haven't met since then
Gee but it's nice to see you again

What's new
Probably I'm boring you
But seeing you is grand
And you were sweet to offer your hand

I understand adieu
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
I haven't changed I still love you so

What's new
How did that romance come through
We haven't met since then
Gee but it's nice to see you again

What's new
Probably I'm boring you
But seeing you is grand
And you were sweet to offer your hand

I understand adieu
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
I haven't changed I still love you so

"What's Number One"

"What's Number One"


Those were high times back in Delhi
I was left for dead
Everybody beat it to L.A.
So the papers read
But I said
"No, this is not where I get dropped off
Keep the dough I'm here to blow the top off it"

Sixty-eight back in Chicago
Watched my friends all fall
Now they're waiting down in old Key Largo
For their man to call
All laid back
Sitting in the redwood sauna
Hanging slack
Like some dazed iguana

I'd choose
The bruised up moon over the sun
I'd lose
I guess I'm confused
What's number one
What's number one

I'm a fine one to be talking
Dig the mastermind
You see even if you hold the key
The doors locked from behind
But I left
I was playing out a lone part
I was deaf to whispers of my own heart

I'd choose
The bruised up moon over the sun
I'd lose
I guess I'm confused
What's number one
What's number one

Like a miner seeks that main gold vein
I'll search on
Cutting through against the grain
Keeps me sane

I'd choose
The bruised up moon over the sun
I'd lose
I guess I'm confused
What's number one
What's number one

"Whatcha Gonna Tell Your Man"

"Whatcha Gonna Tell Your Man"


Why'd you come here
All alone
You should go now
(Go right back home)
Oh my dear it's begun
But there are some things
(Better left undone)
Like me here with you
Baby I make mistakes too
Monday's romance
Is Tuesday's sad affair

For a moment
Through the crowd
I could hear your heart
(Talking right out loud)
Whispering to me like a child
So impatient
(Latin lover style)
Your heart it's a start
Way beyond a fast affair
It's the moon
And garland in your hair

(Whatcha gonna tell your man)
Oh whatcha gonna tell your man
(How you gonna make him understand)
Oh understand
What'd you have to go and do it for
Make me want you like I do

(Whatcha gonna tell your man)
Hey whatcha gonna tell your man
(How you gonna make him understand)
Understand baby
What'd you have to go and do it for
Make me want you like I do

Are you crazy
Out of your mind
Jump the fence and
(Leave it all behind)
Daddy's baby Momma's friend
Buy that judge off
(Start all new again)
Matter of factly
Yeah I'll bet he
Never saw you quite this way
Safe to say
Throw the key away

(Whatcha gonna tell your man)
Whatcha gonna tell your man
(How you gonna make him understand)
Understand
Whatcha you have to go and do it for
Make me want you like I do
Baby

(Whatcha gonna tell your man)
Oh whatcha gonna tell your man
(How you gonna make him understand)
Understand
Whatcha have to go and do it for
Make me want you like I do
Baby

Oh whatcha you gonna tell your man
Whatcha you have to go and do it for
Make me.... whatcha whatcha....
