"Take Care Of Your Woman"

"Take Care Of Your Woman"


Take care of your woman, don't treat her mean
Make her feel like a woman and she won't ever leave

When she's walking in the darkness, be the light she needs
Give her dreams for tomorrow and she won't ever leave

Take care of your woman and make her know that you care
Let her know that you love her, you want her, you need her and she'll always be right there

Through the storms of emotion be the calm that she needs
Be a rock of devotion and she will never leave

Take care of your woman and make her know that you care
Let her know that you love her, you want her, you need her and she'll always be right there

Through the storms of emotion be the calm that she needs
Be a rock of devotion and she will never leave

"Tears"

"Tears"


When she was leaving, she didn't make much sense
She said before I go, just give me one last kiss
I'd tried to tell her
That it would only add to the pain
That's when those tears started to rain
As I look back I see mistakes we made
But I never thought, that we would lose our way
I tried to hold her
I tried to persuade her to wait
But those leavin' tears are always too late

I'd hate to try and count the tears that fall
Maybe you should never count tears at all
Something was lost and we never found it
No matter how hard we tried
And it seems that there's no way to get around it
When tears tell you goodbye
Tonight I saw her, I didn't know what to say
I just tried to smile, but had to walk away
I turned to tell her 'I love you'
But she had faded into the rain
Now those lonely tears are all that remain
Now those lonely tears are startin' over again
Lonely tears,lonely tears

"That's A No No"

"That's A No No"


Baby, when we're walking by and we happen to meet another guy
Don't give him the eye... that's a no no, no no no no, no no no no no

Sugar, when another man wants you to understand
Don't hold his hand... that's a no no, no no no, no no no

No, don't be like some other girls, if you love me, come on let it show
If you ever get tired of me, baby just let me know: no no no no, no no no no no

Sweetheart, when it's party time and you're groovin', everything is fine
Don't forget you're mine... that's a no no, no no no, no no no, no no

Woman when the dance is through and the fella's wait around for you
Dont kiss someone new...that's a no no, no no no, no no no, no no

"The Actress"

"The Actress"


Well you should be an actress
You play your part so well
Your act is so believable
That no one else can tell

You say the lines, but I see
That you don't really love me

You keep me around to be your faithful clown
Till someone you can love comes along
You'll keep on pretending
Because the show must go on

Yes, you should be an actress
As lovely as you are
The way you play on emotion
You'd shame the brightest star

You're acting all the time
No, you're not really mine

I'm just another scene in your play acting scheme
No, you don't love me at all
But when you walk away
That's when the curtain will fall

But I'll go all the way to the end of the play
I'll be a part of your masquerade
Although I know it may be the saddest show
In the life of a fool on parade

"The Comedians"
(originally by Elvis Costello & The Attractions)

"The Comedians"
(originally by Elvis Costello & The Attractions)


I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel
A pastel colored carriage in the air
I thought you'd leave me dangling for a little while
A silly twist upon a childish dare

Below I saw you whispering to another man
Who held the lever that could bring me down
He'd stop the world from turning at your command
It's always something cruel that laughter drowns

And I'm up while the dawn is breaking
Even though my heart is aching
I should be drinking a toast
To absent friends
Instead of these comedians

I can hardly hear the music from the carousel
The wind picks up, the carriage starts sway
As one by one the lights go out
It's closing time
I see you take his hand and walk away
Walk away

They say that you will always be the last to know
They say that all that glitters is not gold
It's not just that you're never coming back to me
It's the bitter way that I was told

And I'm up while the dawn is breaking
Even though my heart is aching
I should be drinking a toast
To absent friends
Instead of these comedians

"The Fastest Guitar Alive"

"The Fastest Guitar Alive"


Hey here I go a lucky so and so
Happy 'cos I know I've got my fast guitar
Singing pretty songs, knowing I belong
I am first and last, and always a fast guitar

The fastest guitar alive
Rattling strings like a gattling gun
Shaped like a lovely woman
Stay right where you are
My guitar is a fast guitar
The fastest guitar alive

I'm rolling on like a rolling stone
gathering no moss, I play a boss guitar

The fastest guitar alive
Strumming like a battling soldier's drum
Shaped like a lovely woman
Stay right where you are
My guitar is a fast guitar
The fastest guitar alive

Hey here I go a lucky so and so
Happy 'cos I know I've got my fast guitar
The fastest guitar
The fastest guitar
The fastest guitar alive

"The Great Pretender"
(originally by The Platters)

"The Great Pretender"
(originally by The Platters)


Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I've played the game but to my real shame
You've left me to grieve all alone

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

"The Loner"

"The Loner"


When I see you walking with some other guy.
I know that I'm a man I'm not supposed to cry.
But when I see you I cry inside.
I guess I'm a loner I don't run with your crowd.

You only smile at me when there's no one around.
We have to meet in secret 'cause we know the town,
They'll talk of me, they'll talk of you.and they'll say
"Oh what a shame, he's ruining her name."

Some people say when you're alone like me.
Life has no meaning, but I know.
The reason you love me. is because I'll never be
Never be, what you want me to be.

So go on laugh and walk and talk with other guys.
I'll never let them see the love that's in my eyes.
We'll meet tonight you'll make it right, when you say
We'll be together forever and ever.

"The Morning After"

"The Morning After"


There's got to be a morning after, if we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine let's keep on looking for the light
Oh can't you see the morning after? it's waiting right outside the storm
Why don't we cross the bridge together and find a place that's safe and warm?

It's not too late, we should be giving, only with love can we we climb
It's not too late, not while we're living, let's put our hands out in time
There's got be a morning after, we're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow and we'll escape the darkness
We won't be searching anymore

There's got be a morning after, we're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow and we'll escape the darkness
We won't be searching anymore

There's got be a morning after
There's got be a morning after
There's got be a morning after

"The Only One"

"The Only One"


Everyone you know's been through it
You bite the bullet, then you chew it
Tie a knot at the end of your rope
Buy a book to help you cope
But no consolation gonna come
You're the only one

Take a look at history
Recant some bits of poetry
You'll find the words still ring true
Some things don't change
Some things do

And you're the only one with a broken heart
The only one who's afraid of the dark
The only one in a crowded room
The only one who sees the blue moon

What you wouldn't give right now
To be another face in the crowd

And you're the only one who is all alone
The only one whose love is gone
The only one who has given in
The only one who will give again

And you're the only one with a broken heart
The only one who's afraid of the dark
The only one in a crowded room
The only one who sees the blue moon
