"Once Upon A Time"

"Once Upon A Time"



When you passed my way
It seemed my lucky day
The world was oh-so fine
Once upon a time

We walked for a little while
You smiled that special smile
And when we said goodnight
You held me oh-so tight

Then you found someone new
And I spent my nights alone
'Cause now we're through
There's nothing I can do
I gotta say forget
Forget him, forget him
'Cause he's no good, no, no

Now, when you pass my way
I guess I'll smile and say
To think that boy was mine
Once upon a time

To think that boy was mine
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Woh, oh, once upon a time
No, no, no, no, no, once upon a time

"Packin' Up"

"Packin' Up"



So if I give up (yes, I'm packin' up)
Movin' out of the town (movin' out of the town)
Packin' up (yes, I'm packin' up)
Movin' out of the town (movin' out of the town)
I'm not chained and I'm no longer bound

Said if I get up (yes, I'm packin' up)
Movin' out of the town (movin' out of town)
Oh yeah (yes, I'm packin' up)
Movin' out of the town (movin' out of the town)
I'm not chained and I'm no longer bound

My suitcase's ready
My clothes are too
And these are the things
You took me through

My friends told me
All about you
That men are evil
The things you do
And I keep on (I'm not chained and I'm no longer bound)

And then I'm packin' (yes, I'm packin' up)
Movin' out of the town (movin' out of the town)
Oh yeah (yes, I'm packin' up)
Movin' out of the town (movin' out of the town)
I'm not chained and I'm no longer bound

Now that I'm gone
Just look at me
I'm looking better than
Any girl you see

I've gotta brand new clothes
I gotta diamond ring
I gotta brand new man
He give me everything
So keep on (I'm not chained and I'm no longer bound)

And then I'm movin' (movin' movin')
Oh, movin' (movin' movin')
And I gotta move (movin' movin')
And I wanna move (movin' movin')
Oh yeah (movin' movin')
And I gotta move (movin' movin')
And I gotta move (movin' movin')
And I gotta move (movin' movin')
Start packin' up (movin' movin')
Start packin' up (movin' movin')
Start packin' up (movin' movin')
Movin' out of town (movin' movin')
Alright (movin' movin')
Yeah, yeah (movin' movin')
Start packin' up (movin' movin')

(Reputation) - [Repeat x12]

They're gonna want you
They're gonna love you
They're gonna make your dreams come true
They don't know the real you, but
They're gonna steal you, oh

Well you tried, you looked for a way
Of keeping your face, of keeping your face, oh, oh

"Roll Away"

"Roll Away"



Everyday when I look in the mirror
I try to see where my soul's at now
Happy day - is it further or nearer?
On the way, will I find it somehow?

Yesterday's gone
Love lead me on, oh
I won't ask why

Roll away - it's only time and the river
Roll away - to the endless sea
Roll away - it could all change tomorrow
This is life in it's glory
And the river runs free
Roll away

My dreams build the walls of the city
Broken hearts tear them all down
It ain't always easy and pretty
It's just the world turning around
Give us this day
Give us this night, oh
It'll be all right

Roll away - it's only time and the river
Roll away - to the endless sea
Roll away - it could all change tomorrow
This is life in it's glory
And the river runs free
Oh, roll away

Everyday when I look in the mirror
I try to see where my soul's at now

Roll away - it's only time and the river
Roll away - to the endless sea
Roll away - it could all change tomorrow
This is life in it's glory
And the river runs free

Roll away - it's only time and the river
Roll away - to the endless sea
Roll away - it could all change tomorrow
This is life in it's glory
And the river runs free
Roll away, ahh, oh
Ahh, ha, ho

"Sandra"

"Sandra"



She's a great little housewife
Though sometimes she talks like a fool
But she helps at the store in the holiday rush
And she picks up the kids after school
And she puts down the 'phone
When her husband comes home
And she changes from mother to wife
'Til she feels the words hanging between them
And she hangs by her words to her life

She says....
I swear I love my husband
I love my kids
I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed

She's a sweetheart except when she's moody
It's hard to get through to her then
Depressed for a while when the youngest was born
Ah, but that happens now and again
Ah, she might take a drink with the housework
Or when Michael's kept late at the shop
A martini or two before dinner
But she always knows when to stop

She says....
I swear I love my husband
And I love my kids
And, though I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed

Oh, they used to hold hands at the movies
Now it's seldom, if ever, they go
Once you pay for the sitter, and parking the car
There's no money left for the show
She was doing the dishes
When a glass fell and broke on the tile
And she cut her wrist, quite by mistake
It was real touch and go for a while

She says....
Oh God, I love my husband
And I love my kids
Well, I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed

"Save Me Save Me"

"Save Me Save Me"



I can't stand the morning light
Now you've gone there ain't no-one
Oh, to make it right
The way you do
Every day I fall more in love with you
Knowing that you left this heart of mine
You captured at the start
And I know you know
That I can't get through
Am I livin' a lie when I reach for you?

You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love, ooh, hoo, hoo, love

Gonna lay my head
Try to rest my heart
Dream my dreams
But they're all of you
And they fall apart
The way I do
Every night I fall more in love with you
I'm praying for the day you turn around
And make your love all mine
And when I'm going down for the very last time
You can throw me a line
You can keep me alive

You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love

When do I get to be near you?
For all time
Hear what you say again

And I know you know
That I can't get through
Am I livin' a lie when I reach for you?
And when I'm goin' down for the very last time
You can throw me a line
You can keep me alive

You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love, ooh, hoo, hoo

You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love

"Second Time Around"

"Second Time Around"


Love is lovelier
The second time around
Just as wonderful
With both feet on the ground
It's that second time
You hear your love song sung
Makes you think, perhaps,
That love, like youth,
Is wasted on the young

Love's more comfortable
The second time you fall
Like a friendly home
The second time you call

Who can say what led us to
This miracle we've found?
There are those who bet
Love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around

Love's more comfortable
The second time you fall
It's like a friendly home
The second time you call

I wanna ask you
What led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who bet
Love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around

"See All Her Faces"

"See All Her Faces"



Here she comes
Here she comes
Ribbons flying from her half-forgotten hair
Look at her run
See what the world and love have done
See all her faces
See all her faces

Look in my eyes
That she is me
I can't disguise
See all her faces
Ah, ha, see all her faces

I'm looking for someone
Of the gentle kind
Knowing that looks can lie
Looking for someone
Is he there to find?
Or should I run on by, ah, ha

Here she comes
Here she comes
Shadows sadly chasing
Every step she takes
Look at her now
She needs love so much more somehow
See all her faces
See all her faces

Look at my life
The wasted years
Each a knife
See all her faces, ah-ha
See all her faces

Waiting for someone
Who will set me free
Passing the time too fast
Waiting for someone
Is that where he'll be?
Or should I run right past?, hmm

There she goes
There she goes
Somehow making me and all her faces sad, oh, oh
Ba, da, ba, da, ba, da, ba, da...

"Send It To Me"

"Send It To Me"



Somebody got a magic touch
Somebody just can't get enough
Your picture's hanging in my car
I love you for just who you are

And don't you know I want you?, maybe
Baby

Get your motor running
Can't you hear me coming?
And send it to me
Put it in a letter
If that'll make it better
And send it to me, haa
Stick it in a bottle
It's always getting hotter
And send it to me, haa
Nothing gonna stop it
So shoot it like a rocket
And send it to me

I sit behind a desk all day
And dream of you to get away
I got no money in the bank
I don't need much, got you to thank

And don't you know I want you?, maybe
Baby

Oh, get your motor running
Can't you hear me coming?
And send it to me, ah
Put it in a letter
If that'll make it better
And send it to me, haa
Stick it in a bottle
It's always getting hotter
Send it to me, haa
Nothing gonna stop it
So shoot it like a rocket
And send it to me, ahh

Deep in the night, I turn around
And wish you were here with me
I grab the sheets and make up a fantasy
Can't you see
That you're the one that I love?

Get your motor running
Can't you hear me coming?
And send it to me, ooh, oh, oh
Stick it in a bottle
Ain't nothing gonna stop it
So shoot it like a rocket
Baby, send it to me
Ahh, oh
Get your motor running
Can't you hear me coming?
And sent it to me, ah, ho

"Silly, Silly Fool"

"Silly, Silly Fool"



Such a silly, silly, silly, silly fool am I
Oh, I, just a silly, silly, silly, silly fool am I

Hey, I should have never fallen
Back in love with you
Knowin' how you get a pleasure
Breaking my poor heart in two
You made it sound so convincin'
When you said
"I'm your woman, you're my man"
Now I really need you
And I sit here a loser again

I guess I'm just a silly, silly, silly, silly fool am I, oh I
I'm such a silly, silly, silly, silly, fool am I, mmm

I should have never trusted
In my heart to lead the way
Now my mind is all busted
That's a fool's price to pay

You made it sound so convincin'
When you said you'd never, never go away
I should have never listened
To anything you had to say

I'm such a silly, silly, silly, silly, silly, silly fool am I, yes I am
I'm such a silly, silly, silly, silly fool am I, oh
Such a silly, silly, dilly, silly, dilly fool am I, oh yeah
I'm such a silly, silly, silly, silly, silly fool am I, oh yes I am
I'm such a silly, silly, dilly, silly, dilly, silly fool am I, oh yeah
I'm such a silly, dilly, silly, dilly, silly fool am I, oh
Silly, dilly
