"You Are You"

"You Are You"


You're every dream I've ever dreamt
You are by far the only apartment
That I'd ever care to rent
You're like Doctor Kissenger
On a peace trip or two
But most important of all
You are you
You're like a painting by Cozanne
A tin of soup by Andy Warhol
A sonata by Chopin
You're like the Queen of England
Not forgetting the Duke
But most important of all
You are you
I'm no genius when it comes to world affairs
On the other hand when I am with you who cares
As you can see
You're my priority

But most important of all
You are you
I don't suppose that there's the slightest little chance
You might allow me to consummate our romance
Your know what, you're a supersonic flight
A song by Lennon and McCartney
A Mohammed Ali fight
You're like Brigitte Bardot
No way Danny La Rue...
But most important of all
You are you
Yes most important of all
You are, you are, you are you

"You Better Believe It"

"You Better Believe It"


You'd think that nothing could erase
Like rubber bullets well your right
I've got a lead one in my hand
It won't erase a word I write
You are the keeper of the flame
You are the flame the keeper keeps
You are the kingdom of a god
Whose statue on occasion weeps I hate when sitting down to eat
Waiters who serve you with a writ
You better believe it
What say you I go out the door
What say you I come in again
What say you write to me in Braille
What say you use a ball point pen
Proof of the pudding is I'm told
Not in the eating but the place
Place being where it is put before
Before you get it in your face I'll do whatever I don't want
I'll smoke as long as I see fit
You better believe it I read a book about a man
A protestant no less
Dreamt he woke up a catholic
Scared himself to death
Give me one reason to support
One reason to support one thing
Give me your Rolex or your life
Or else the trainers you are in
I think I am so
I must be I am I think a walking gag
I hate potatoes with my chips
Unless of course there in a bag
I'd love you even if at times
At times I wish I never did
You better believe it
You better believe it

"You Better Run"

"You Better Run"


I never thought that I'd live to see the day
Here I am in love and the feeling is great
And nothing can persuade me
Than to give a rest
And when I see your love-light I suggest

You better run
You better hide
And baby don't you know
It but the moment's arrive
You better run
You better hide
Cause the truth don't matter
The man's gonna get you inside

Met for the first time
Thought you were great
Met for the next
Then I knew right away
Nothing can excite me
The way you can
And when I get that feeling
Tired as I am

You better run
You better hide
And baby don't you know but the moment's arrive
You better run
You better hide Cause I 'm not gonna sit around
Waiting my turn
Always been a weakness
Far as I'm concerned

This time I'm gonna take the fall
Don't say that you're not the one
Gonna grab you by the horns
By the horns

Been a lot hearts
Beating well out of time
Nothing odd about that
One of them is mine
The temperature is raising, heat up the floor
And when I see your love lights starting glow

You better run
You better hide
And baby don't you know it but the moment you rise
You better run
You better hide
Cause the truth don't matter where the lie's considered
If you have a tendency to get burned

My reasons for chasing you
Are very easy to describe
Everything that you have I like
Everything that you have I like

Never thought I get so I couldn't sit down
Never thought I feel so like running around
You and me is cool as you think that you are
But when I see your love light
Enter my heart

You better run
You better hide
And baby don't you know it but the moment's arrive
You better run
You better hide
And baby don't you know it but the moment's arrive

You better run
You better hide
And baby don't you know it but the moment's arrive
Cause the truth don't matter cause the man's gonna get you inside

You better run
You better hide
You better run
You better hide

"You Don't Have To Tell Me"

"You Don't Have To Tell Me"


You don't have to tell me
You've got something on your mind
Because I've seen it there
So many time before

And you don't have to tell me
Just what it is that's on your mind
For I'm inclined to agree with me
There must be something wrong

A subtle breeze
I stand at ease
Won't dislocate my arm
But what could
What easily would break my heart
If you imply that this time I'm sorry
I have gone too far
But if that's true
Then why are you acting as you are

So you don't have to tell me
You've got something on your mind
Because I've seen it there
So many time before

And you won't have to tell me
Just what it is that's on your mind
For I'm inclined to agree with me
There must be something wrong

A subtle breeze
I stand at ease
Won't dislocate my arm
But what could
What easily would break my heart

Cause you imply that this time I'm sorry
I have gone too far
But if that's true
Then why are you acting as you are

So You don't have to tell me
You've got something on your mind
Because I've seen it there
So many time before

And you won't have to tell me
Just what it is that's on your mind
For I'm inclined to agree with me
There must be something wrong

"You Don't Own Me"

"You Don't Own Me"


You may have given me the breaks
Amended all my life's mistakes
Ooh but pretty baby
You don't own me

You may be more than just a friend
On whose assistance I depend
Ooh but pretty baby
You don't own me

What makes you think you have the right
To say that I owe you my life
A life you say is your life only
Nothing to do with me
Well don't forget for all your power
Even in my darkest hour
You don't own me

You may be fully in control of
Every dream I'll ever hold
Ooh but pretty baby
You don't own me

You might have taught me how to dress
Whereas before I looked a mess
Ooh but pretty baby
You don't own me

I know it sounds so very cruel
To have to say I don't want you
After all the love you've shown me
Let's not start a feud
I'm not your slave don't you forget it
And even if I live to regret it
You don't own me

Why must you always be so right
Why can't you never be wrong
It's not a crime to say you're sorry
And It don't take long
If It only takes a minute to say something that's nice
If It only takes a minute then why not twice

It might interest you to know
If I'm unhappy then I'll go
No point in staying here being lonely
What good would that do
It's time you got it through your head
Although I'm grateful for all your help
You don't own me

"You Don't Own Me If I Know You"

"You Don't Own Me If I Know You"


You may have given me the breaks
Amended all my life's mistake
Ooh but wait a minute
You don't own me
You may be more than just a friend
On whose assistance I depend
Ooh but wait a minute
You don't own me

What makes you think you have the right
Today that I owe you my life
A life you say is your life only
Nothing to do with me
Well don't forget for all your power
Even in my darkest hour
You don't own me

You may be fully in control
Of every dream I'll ever hold
Ooh but wait a minute
You don't own me
In times of trouble and despair
Although I'm glad that you were there
Ooh but wait a minute
You don't own me

I know it sounds so very cruel
To have to day I don't want you
After all the love you've shown me
Let's, not start a feud
I'm not your slave don't you forget it,
And even if I live to regret it
You don't own me

Why must you always be so right
Why can't you never be wrong
It's not a crime to say you're sorry
And it don't take long
No it don't take long

If it only takes a minute
To say a crime thing that's nice
If it only takes a minute

Then why not twice
I should have known from the start this would happen
From the moment we went anywhere
If other people so much as looked at me
You'd be screaming blue murder I swear
And yet you say that my leaving doesn't hurt you in the least
But even if that's true
You'll do all in your power to destroy me
If I know you

You day how much, you respect what I'm doing
You say how high you regard my ideas
And yet for years as you stood in the background
You never once let me up off my knees

Now despite you declaring
You understand the way feel
Now that we are through

"You Got Me Going"

"You Got Me Going"


Now move a little closer baby
Don't stand in the road
There's such a lot of traffic about
You'll catch your death of cold
And as you can well imagine
What with your death on my hands
Nobody would believe me
They just wouldn't understand
Without you knowing
You got me going
Without your knowing
You got me going... (You got me going)
You got me going... (You got me going)
All the way

Now waiting for the bus to come
Is getting to be a drag
Time was when it used to get here
Dead on quarter past
Now its almost quarter to
And still it hasn't shown
By the time I get to your place
I might just as well have flown
Without you knowing
You got me going
Without your knowing
You got me going... (You got me going)
You got me going... (You got me going)
All the way

And I don't ever want you to think
That I'm the sort
Who has a woman waiting for me
In every port
I mean, as far as I know
I've never been to sea
Unless you count the time I went out
In it up to my knees

And I don't ever want you to think
That for a start
I would ever do anything
To break your heart
You see, the bond we have between us
Is enough
To ensure when we're together
We are miles away in love

Now I'm not superstitious
But if ever I see a cat
The first thing that I do
Is check and see it isn't black
And if on close inspection
It turns out to be maroon
I'll breathe a heavy sigh of relief
And grab you on my broom
Without you knowing
You got me going
Without your knowing
You got me going... (You got me going)
You got me going... (You got me going)
All the way

"Young At Heart"

"Young At Heart"


Young at heart we may he only
Young at heart hut we're not
Lonely if anything we're never in but we're out
Young at heart if we are only
Young at heart then let us slowly
Unwind our say only way we know how
Young at heart
You can so easily become a part of any new fangled dancing craze
Like the way that you did
When we were kids
Young at heart we may he only
Young at heart but even so
We're the first to admit we're at that stage even though we might act our age
Young at heart we'll always remain
(Young at heart) (It's so important to play your part)
Don't let them tell you your much too old
Wearing clothes in a way that's up to date
Young at heart if we are only
Young at heart you never know
We could still surprise, tantalize
Even with bags under our eyes
Young at heart we'll always (Young at heart we'll always)
Young at heart well always remain
