Almost Angeline

You remind me of someone that I used to know
Who reminds me of places that I used to go
Which reminds me there?s something that I want to say
Oh, never mind it doesn?t matter anyway

Underneath that girlish smile
Underneath that Paris style
Even though it?s been a while
You're almost Angeline

On the other hand, she wasn?t like the other girls
On the other hand, she never wore her hair in curls
On the other hand, she didn?t have a wedding ring
On the other hand, I guess that don?t mean anything

Underneath that girlish smile
Underneath that Paris style
Even though it?s been a while
You're almost Angeline

Then she said, you don?t remember me
Though you?re not the girl you used to be
Either way the girl I see is almost Angeline

You remind me of someone that I used to know
Who reminds me of places that I used to go
Which reminds me there?s someone that I gotta be
I remember now how she slipped away from me

Underneath that girlish smile
Underneath that Paris style
Even though it?s been a while
You're almost Angeline

Almost Angeline
Almost Angeline
Almost Angeline

Alone and together

Casting lines that have no meaning
Wasting time and only dreaming
Fasting is just part of preening
Lasting can be so demeaning

Fishing for a compliment
Wishing it was really meant
Dishing out the sentiment
When only flowers pay the rent

All alone and all together now

The carousel is going round
The band is playing without a sound
The music box has been unwound
The Brooklyn bridge is falling down

Baby tonight

I wanna see the pages turn
Want to let the bridges burn
I don't want more than what I earn
I'm only in from out of town
I'm only up from underground

I always try to play it cool
End up feeling like a fool

Maybe you're right
(Maybe you're right)
Maybe I'm wrong, oh, just maybe

But, baby tonight
(Baby tonight)
Maybe so long

Starting over once again
I only quit before the end
Need to break before I bend
I'm always looking inside out
I never question what I doubt

I always judge before the trial
I'm in a rush to wait a while

Maybe you're right
(Maybe you're right)
Maybe I'm wrong, oh, just maybe

But, baby tonight
(Baby tonight)
Maybe so long

I would never say forever
I can't wait that long
But whenever we're together
Everything goes wrong, a little wrong

I always judge before the trial
In a rush to wait a while

Maybe you're right
(Maybe you're right)
Maybe I'm wrong, I, just maybe

Baby tonight
(Baby tonight)
Maybe so long, oh baby

Baby tonight
(Baby tonight)
Maybe so long

Dont let me down

Oh, I?ve been looking for a girl
Who wanted something more than make-up and dresses
She wouldn?t care about hair styles, nail files
It just might take a while

But I?ve got all the time to wait
I?m not afraid of being alone for awhile
'Cause I don?t need no alibis, pretty lies
I have no need for compromise

I want you, believe me
I need you, deceive me
I?m fading, don?t leave me
I?m begging, don?t let me down
Don?t let me down, don?t let me down

Then I saw you in the street
And I just knew I had to make your acquaintance
Something like an old friend, start to end
I could feel my heart start to mend

Last night I dreamt that I had drowned
Beneath the water on the floor of the ocean
As I lay among the shells and sand
Your hand pulled me up to dry land

I want you, believe me
I need you, deceive me
I?m fading, don?t leave me
I?m begging, don?t let me down
Don?t let me down, don?t let me down
Don?t let me down

It?s almost funny when you?re all alone for too long
You start to feeling that there?s something that you?ve done wrong
When you find the one in all the worlds corrected
You never plan it out it?s when you least expect it
Now you?re protected, even respected

I want you, believe me
I need you, deceive me
I?m fading, don?t leave me
I?m begging, don?t let me down
Don?t let me down, don?t let me down
Don?t let me down

He's got a way with women

Well, he walks right, he talks right
Knows what makes them girls feel fine
He?s got a way with women
And he just got away with mine

He drives a big car like a big star
Plays a guitar that bluesy kind
He?s got a way with women
And he just got away with mine

No, he didn?t ride up wearin' shinin' armor
Ridin' on a milk white steed
But he gave ?em quite a performance
This I must concede, yes, yes

'Cause he walks right, he talks right
Knows what makes them girls feel fine
He?s got a way with women
And he just got away with mine

No, he didn?t ride up wearin' shinin' armor
Ridin' on a milk white steed
But he gave ?em quite a performance
This I must concede, yes, yes

'Cause he walks right, he talks right
Knows what makes them girls feel fine
He?s got a way with women
And he just got away

Gonna say one more time
'Cause this gentlemen is so darn smooth
He?s got a way with women
And he just got away with mine

Hung up (on you)

How come the worlds off track?
How come do governments attack?
How come you won?t call me back?

How come the dollar's king?
How come it?s everything?
How come the phone won?t ring?

How come the uphill climb?
How come there?s so much crime?
How come you never try

You?ve got my number, you know just what to do
You?ve got the answer too
I tried and tried but I never make it through
I?m just hung up on you

How come God lost control?
How come the human soul?
How come a line won't toll?

How come the funeral pyre?
How come the forest fire?
How come you never wire?

How come is man so vile?
How can he reconcile?
How come you just won?t dial?

You?ve got my number, you know just what to do
You?ve got the answer too
I tried and tried but I never make it through
I?m just hung up on you, I?m just hung up on you

Oh, let your fingers do the walking
I?ll listen close to what you say
I?ve got a mind to speak but you can do the talking
I know you want to anyway

You?ve got my number, you know just what to do
You?ve got the answer too
I tried and tried but I never make it through
I?m just hung up on you, I?m just hung up on you
I?m just hung up on, up on, up on you

I believe

I met a girl on a Friday night
She ran her mouth and she caused a fight
Heading for the exit door
I never made it off the floor

More a lover than the fighting type
I never claimed to be the great white hype
Oh no, I'd rather have a broken heart
Than have my body torn apart

I believe, I believe, I believe in something
I believe, I believe, I believe in running
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

I remember back in school
I always had to play the fool
Whenever there was choosing sides
I would always be denied

When I was waiting for the bus
There always seemed to be a fuss
I could never walk alone
'Cause I was in a danger zone

But I believe, I believe, I believe in something
I believe, I believe, I believe in running
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Daddy always said believe in something
And I believe in staying alive
But when it comes to blows I ain't worth nothing

'Cause I believe in love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

Fast forward, almost twenty years
Found a girl that was so sincere
Wouldn't trade me for another guy
Never leave and I'll tell you why

You see, it happened on a Friday night
She ran her mouth and she caused a fight
Started swinging and she cleared the floor
Ran away with her forever more

But I believe, I believe, I believe in something
I believe, I believe, I believe in loving
I believe, I believe, I believe in something
I believe, I believe, I believe in loving

I believe, I believe, I believe in something
I believe, I believe, I believe in loving
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

Lying on the ground

Such a strange world that we walk in
Everyone alone trying to find their way
Though we try to fly, we never really get away

As hard as you might try, you cannot let me down
'Cause I?m already lying on the ground

It?s only human that we question
All the world around, we are so much the same
Needing others love and confirmation, the only game

As hard as you might try, you cannot let me down
'Cause I?m already lying on the ground

No need for pomp, bring on the circumstance
I can take the tension, not to mention lack of your romance

As hard as you might try, you cannot let me down
'Cause I?m already lying on the ground

So we dig a little deeper, searching for a treasure
That we?ll never hold
Though maybe just a little wiser, twice as old

As hard as you might try, you cannot let me down
'Cause I?m already lying on the ground

Too soon

Here we go again tonight
We both know it ain?t right
Maybe we just fell in love too soon
You like to dance, I like to sing
You want romance, you think it?s everything
Maybe we just fell in love too soon

Was it just infatuation?
Did we get caught in the rush?
One little miscalculation
We both expected too much

There?s what you want and what you get
There?s satisfaction and there?s regret
Maybe we just fell in love too soon
Here we are in this great big room
You want the stars, I want the moon
Maybe we just fell in love too soon

Upside down

You say, you found the road to Heaven but you don?t fly
You say, it?s inner peace that get?s you high
You say that you don?t need emotion, I wonder why
Is it just too hard for you to cry?

What you need to do
Is change your point of view

Turn it upside down and hold on tight
Turn it upside down, know wrong or right
Turn it upside down, I think you?ll find
On the other side, it?s upside down
On the other side, it?s upside down

See the storm around us raging, and you'll stay dry
As if the laws of nature don?t apply
We see that nothing lasts forever and good things die
Still it seems to come as a surprise

What you need to do
Is change your point of view

Turn it upside down and hold on tight
Turn it upside down, know wrong or right
Turn it upside down, I think you?ll find
On the other side, it?s upside down
On the other side, it?s upside down

What you need to do
Is change your point of view

Turn it upside down, turn it upside down
Turn it upside down and hold on tight
Turn it upside down, know wrong or right
Turn it upside down, I think you?ll find
On the other side, it?s upside down
On the other side, it?s upside down
On the other side, it?s upside down
