"Words"

"Words"



It's down to words I use
It's up to what I say
If you'll stay

Run my fingers down the page
Lost for words
What to say

I should be saying something
But what should I say
Should be feeling something
What will I feel
If you say
It's over
Please don't say
It's over
I want you to
Stay

The emotion's in my heart
Can't even write it down
Where do I start

Find the trigger for you smile
I'm desperate to get it back
I'm desperate
I'm desperate

Got to get back that feeling
Got to get back that spark
Got to get back that feeling
Got to get back that spark

Stay
Stay
Oh won't you stay

I should be saying something
But what should I say
Should be feeling something
What will I feel
If you say
It's over
Please don't say
It's over
I want you to
Stay

"Would You Like To Dance"

"Would You Like To Dance"



Want you
And I don't know
What to do

Should I try to meet
You after work
By coincidence

Should I make a beeline
To your door, ring your bell
Ask someone to introduce us

Hey baby, would you like to dance
Would you like to see my yacht

Should I faint right at your feet
Walk right up and ask you
If you want to take a chance on me
Or start a conversation
With an old time melody

I'll treat you like a newborn child
Show a lot of self restraint

I want your loving
Can't live without you
Said I need your loving
Need your loving
Don't leave it too late
Said I need your loving
Need your loving

Hey baby, would you like to dance
I'd show a lot of self restraint

I want your loving
Can't live without you
And I need your loving
Need your loving
Can't live without you
Said I need your loving
Need your loving

Hey baby, would you like to dance
We could have a fine romance
Would you like to see my yacht
I'll give you every little thing I got
Treat you like a newborn child
Protect you from the world outside
Show a lot of self restraint
Until you say you're really ready

I want your loving
Can't live without you
Said I need your loving
Need your loving
Don't leave it too late
Said I need your loving
Need your loving
I want your loving
Can't live without you
Said I need your loving
Need your loving
Said I need your loving
Need your loving
Need your loving
Need your loving
Need your loving
Need your loving
Need your loving
I need your loving
Need your loving

"Wrapped Around Her"

"Wrapped Around Her"


I've been steady
I've been sweet
Said you loved me
And I believed
It's time
To make up my own mind
I picked the wrong guy
I picked the wrong guy

I might plead
On bended knees
But lately
She's the one you need
It's time
To make up my own mind
I picked the wrong guy
I picked the wrong guy

I don't want to lose your love
But I can see you
Wrapped around her
Wrapped around her
I can see you
Wrapped around her

I don't want to lose your love
But I can see you
Wrapped around her
Wrapped around her
I can see you
Wrapped around her

I put rhythm
In your soul
Gave you sweet
Rock and roll
I know it's mad
I was so blind
I picked the wrong guy
I picked the wrong guy

I don't want to lose your love
But I can see you
Wrapped around her
Wrapped around her
I can see you
Wrapped around her

No good crying now
The milk has spilled but you know
You didn't fool our friends
They always said you were naughty
Ooh
I picked the wrong guy
I picked the wrong guy
I picked the wrong guy

I don't want to lose your love
But I can see you
Wrapped around her
Wrapped around her
I can see you
Wrapped around her

"You Made Your Bed"

"You Made Your Bed"



I say black
You say white
You do anything to be the one that's right
Go to extremes
Got to win
Still you're not happy
Just see the state you're in

You're never satisfied are you baby
Tell me what is driving you crazy
You're feeling something's wrong and you blame me
Well I just wanna say
It's your stupid mistake

I don't regret the time that we shared
But I do resent the martyr you play though
I'm the one who suffers more than my share of
All the hurt in this game
This mixed up game

Now you made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get canceled out by the weird things you do

Not Lucifer
Not the Trinity
No one on earth can make you feel at ease
It serves me right
Cos I left you once
I broke my own rule
Because I wanted to please

But you're never satisfied are you baby
Tell me what is driving you crazy
You're feeling something strong and you blame me
Well I just wanna say
It's your stupid mistake

Now you made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get canceled out by the weird things you do
You made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get canceled out by the weird things you do
Get canceled out by the weird things

I say black
You say white
You do anything to be the one that's right
But you're never satisfied
I said you're never satisfied
Something is always driving you crazy
Something is driving you crazy

You made your bed you can lie on it
You made your bed you can lie on it
You made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
You made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get canceled out by the weird things you do

You made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get canceled out by the weird things you do

"You Rope You Tie Me"

"You Rope You Tie Me"



Don't stand in my way
Let me pass
Easy
Don't try to block, trip
Or check my baby
No counter action
Gonna handicap me baby
You know I'm travelling light
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You're a lion in my path
In my light
'Scuse me
Don't upset
Don't embarrass me baby
Don't show your body
You're body don't make it
You know I'm moving on right
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You know we started out good
We were in love with all the world
All of a sudden
It was out of control
I started to lie
'Cos you couldn't see the truth
Oh what a sad world

You get too jealous
You patronise me
Let me get away
You get too jealous
You drive me crazy
Let me get away
Let me get away

Don't stand in my way
In my light
'Scuse me
You get too jealous
You patronise me
You get too jealous
You drive me crazy
You get too jealous
You rope you tie me
You get too jealous
I need to be free
Let me get away

"Your Letter"

"Your Letter"



I read your letter yesterday
If fell between the covers
And my bare skin
It fell between my crying
And my longing for you

I loved this one
Too long
This one much to much
Sometimes I gave just enough of myself
But most times nothing at all

And you've been gone
Too long
You know I love you the best
You call me crazy
That's how you won my heart
'Cos you were half crazy too

I read your letter again today
Out loud
And to myself
It gave me back my sanity
I didn't feel so alone

Won't be too soon
Not like the night
Not like the night on a summer's day
Can't wait to see you step across the room
Empty room
Save you and me
I feel your touches in your letters
But it's not half as good as you touching me
In real
