"Throw The Roses Away"

"Throw The Roses Away"




Words can never change
What our hearts have denied
And all the sweet memories
Won't bring the love back to life
And the more that we try
The more it's gonna make you see
No words, hopes, anything
Will bring back life to your dream
All night it took me to learn
Oh baby, baby how to say
This love just won't work
Just for once in my life
Do I wanna go with what's right
It's gone; we've got to move on
You know that's the truth - so do I

[Chorus:]
Sad boquets we save
Won't make up one sweet day
Throw the roses away

Don't need them anymore
Cause they just make you cry
If you let it go, let it go, let it go baby
You'll get some peace of mind
Only lonely for now
But you'll come back from the pain
Though l don't know if l'll ever find
Someone Iike you again

[Chorus]

Words in my mind
Talk about you to me all the time
Oh why should just a rose
Have such a sad hold over our lives

[Chorus]

"Time Will Tell"

"Time Will Tell"



If you and I were meant to be
If our life together is a destiny
Time, Only time will tell
Maybe then we'll know

If we can make it through
Disappear into the light like spirits do
Free, Only you and me
If we take it slow

(Time will tell)
If our foolish hearts hang on
(Time will tell)
I wonder how can we stay strong
Will we ever find a pearl inside this shell
Well we ever know the magic of this spell
Time will tell

Holding on what could be in our darkest hour
It's just you and me
Here only edge tonight
Will we have a faded just let go

(Time will tell)
If our foolish hearts hang on
(Time will tell)
I wonder how can we stay strong
Will we ever find a pearl inside this shell
Well we ever know the magic of this spell
Time will tell

Yes it will
Only time

(Time will tell)
Never know what would be
(Time will tell)
You never know what would be, baby
(Time will tell)
When it comes to you and me
(Time will tell)
What will be, will be
There it is hard to tell for fear of the spell
And for the fear of the well
(Time will tell)
Time will tell
There it is hard to tell for fear of the spell
And for the fear of the well
(Time will tell)
Time will tell

"Time Won't Pass Me By"

"Time Won't Pass Me By"


Blue skies for today
Don't need no more lonely nights
All the black & blues have made me
Yeah, they made me see the light
Down and out but always dreaming
Gonna dream the love to grow

[Chorus:]
I think the sun was in my eyes
This time the time won't pass me by
Lucky on the second try
This time the time won't pass me by

Feel so lucky baby
Just to have another try
When love comes callin' tears stop falling, hey
I believe I know the reason why
Tho' I gave your love away
You brought it back and doin' that has made me see

[Chorus]

Just the past I can't replace
Don't you know I see the future in your face
Can it be the bad times were what it took to see
The love we had was true for you
And good for me

[Chorus]

"Unguarded Minute"

"Unguarded Minute"



Maybe I speak too soon
Maybe I play too hard
And I listen to major worries in a minor way
You sent your message to me
Made a move that I'd understand
When you moved from a ticket in line
To a room in L.A.
There was a time spit second I could have said please
Fool around and my guard was down by a few degrees

An unguarded minute has an accident in it.

I guess I should have tried a little bit
Yeah, I could have changed
I could be anything that ya want
But it wouldn't be me
Do anything that you say
Use any thought to armor the way
So do you love them man that I am,
Or what you want me to be
I wanna hold you now but I can let you go
So anytime you can do better just let me know

An unguarded minute has an accident in it
I wanna hold you tight.

"United State"

"United State"



Make an amendment to the constitution
To preserve the state of our union
I stop believing what you say to me
There's a tragic gap in credibility

When the light is gone from your eyes
And re-entry may be denied
Do I want to expatriate
Or live in the united state

Inflationary insecurity
'Cause a love ain't worth as much as it used to be
Clean break, running away
Should I work it out some way
Watch the tress in the wind when it's starting to blow
Is the reason to leave, is it treason to go
Just appeasing you is the wrong thing, I know
Break away!

"Used To Be My Girl"
(originally by O'Jays)

"Used To Be My Girl"
(originally by O'Jays)



Good loving
The girls got pretty good lovin'
Ask me how I know
And I'll tell you so.,
She used to be my girl
My Girl

I respect her
When she was mine
I used to neglect her
She wanted more than I could give
But as long as I live
She'll be my girl

She used to be my girl
She used to be my girl

She had a charming personality
The girl was so right for me
She's my girl

And If I had the chance
I'd take her back
As a matter a fact
Right away
Like today

Not only good-lookin
The girl was so smart
Can't beat her cooking
Ask me how I know
And I'll tell you so
She used to be my girl

She had a charming personality
The girl was so right for me
She's my girl

And If I had the chance
I'd take her back
As a matter a fact
Right a way
Like today

Sh-Sh-Should've

Good loving
The girls got pretty good lovin'
Ask me how I know
And I'll tell you so..
She used to be my girl
My Girl

"Wait For Me"

"Wait For Me"



Midnight hour almost over
Time is running out for the magic pair
I know you gave the best that you have
But one more chance
Couldn't be all that hard to bear.

Wait for me please
Wait for me
Alright, I guess
that's more than I should ask
Wait for me please
Wait for me
Although I know the light is fading fast.

You could go either way
Is it easier to stay
I wonder what you'll do
When your chance rolls around
But you gotta know how much I want to keep you
When I'm away I'm afraid it will all fall down.
Love is what it does and ours is doing nothing
But all the time we spent
It must be good for something
Please forgive all the disturbance I'm creating
But you got a lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.

"Want To"

"Want To"


Baby, you're only a sleeping beauty for a little while
Hoping no prince heats up your day
That you can be lonely all this time in unbelievable
Playing deaf and dumb, just afraid

[Chorus:]
Gotta be high when you're walking an fire
If you Want To
Gotta be cool when you're breaking the rules
Because you Want To
Gotta be strong, really got to move on
I know you Want To
Gotta be true, you do what you do
Because you Want To
Don't cha Want To

And you wanna babe
I know you
Go with your urges, holding back is just a puppy show
You don't need so be-bop to play
Whatever you think your friends might say is immaterial
What they don't know might show you the way

[Chorus]

You know you Want To
Because it feels right
Because it won't bite
Now that you've found your way around, you want to run to me
Hey don't waste no time
See that sleeping beauty waking up beside-a me
Making me feel so good just to see you smile

[Chorus]

Gotta desire when you're walking on fire
I know you Want To
Gotta be free when you're walking with me
Don't you Want To
Maybe it's time to do what you do
Because you Want To
Gotta be high when you're walking on fire
Don't cha Want To

"War Baby, Son Of Zorro"

"War Baby, Son Of Zorro"



He's A War Baby, Son Of Zorro
He's A War Baby, Son Of Zorro
War Baby
Been through Momma, the bomb and 'Nam
He's a war, he's a war
He's a war
He's a war baby
He's a worn baby, born in '45
He's a torn baby, but he's still alive
Ate puffed wheat, X-rayed his feet
Scared baby, ain't in the Atomic Age
War baby
Water ice, sleeveless fights, Despot, I know, yes, I know
Angel eyes, Simoniz, yes, I know
He's a scared baby, afraid of a plane
Hid under his desk in a hundred air raids, Scared baby
Dug in dirt, watched Wyatt Earp, in the Atomic Age
Led three lives, Commie spies, Holy Joe, Holy Joe
Go Marines, Cloverine, yes, I know, yes, I know
He's A War Baby, Son Of Zorro
He's A War Baby, Son Of Zorro
War baby
Been through Momma, the bomb and 'Nam
He's a war, he's a war
He's a war
He's a war baby
He's a war, he's a war baby
He's a war, a war baby.

"War Of Words"

"War Of Words"


Our love's grown older seems like its colder
Than the rock so which l carved your name
On down the road we walk in separate shadows
Now there's nowhere else to go
And when we read the book of time
We'll see that we were blind but tried to understand

[Chorus:]
War of words, no one survives
These words of war cut deep inside
War of words the truth, the lies
These words of war hurt more and more. ..more and more

I thought our love would never end like letters in the sand
Our passion's washed away and so the tide rolls in again
With the morning storm brings another cloudy day
It's getting harder day by day
To believe that we can stay together baby

[Chorus]

I guess the dream that love has kept alive
Couldn't last forever though we tried...how we tried
