And they bicker and fight

She knows she knows
There are gonna be times
When no one goes
For her funniest lines
Comedienne
Please make up your mind
Are you laughing or crying
Are you killing or dying tonight

Back at the bar
She's been licking her wounds
He says give up the vision
Performing in rooms
If you work on your timing
And drop me a line
Baby one of these Mondays

Your gonna be mine

She knows she knows
There are gonna be times
When no one goes
For her funniest lines
Comedienne
Please make up your mind
Are you laughing or crying
Are you killing or dying tonight

[break]

She knows she knows
There are gonna be times
When no one goes
For her funniest lines
Comedienne
Please make up your mind
Are you laughing or crying
Are you killing or dying tonight

She knows, she knows
She knows, she knows
She knows, she knows
She knows, she knows
She knows, she knows

"Kid Gloves"

She's wearing kid gloves
Will handle me carefully
Cause I've got a history, cracked up and fragile
And bound to break easy

And if she could talk to me
What good would it do me
It's no secret where I've been and I have worn so thin
And she can see through me

[CHORUS 1:]
I don't believe a word of it
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
Now that her soft touch is gone

She's got her kid gloves on

Here is what I've found
New York just gets me down
When the going got tough, I got a bus ticket
Back to my home town

And all the way I dreamed
Flesh wrapped in velveteen
And the road wrapped around me, the long lonely highway
Gulped down by a Greyhound

[CHORUS 1]

[CHORUS 2:]
I don't believe a word of it
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
Won't come around cause I'll only get hurt and it
Now that her soft touch is gone
How could she ever go on
Without her kid gloves on

"Today's Teardrops"

Today's teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows
And tomorrow's rainbows I will share
Share with you
So dry your eyes little girl, dry your eyes
We're gunna see skies of blue

Had a tough time gettin' started
Maybe just a little downhearted
All you gotta do is count to ten
Baby you'll be smiling when

Today's teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows
And tomorrow's rainbows I will share
Share with you
So dry your eyes little girl, dry your eyes

We're gunna see skies of blue

Gonna be just love and gladness
Don't wanna hear nothin' 'bout sadness
Come a little closer, come to me
With each kiss you're gunna see

Today's teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows
And tomorrow's rainbows I will share
Share with you
So dry your eyes little girl, dry your eyes
We're gunna see skies of blue

Gonna be just love and gladness
Don't wanna hear nothin' 'bout sadness
Come a little closer, come to me

I know a girl who should never be alone (Ahhh ahhh ahhh)
I know a girl who should never be alone (Ahhh ahhh ahhh)
She's a danger to herself
And I'm worried about her health
She's got a problem
And she's gonna do something dumb

I know a girl who you've got to keep an eye on (Ahhh ahhh ahhh)
I know a girl who you've got to keep an eye on (Ahhh ahhh ahhh)
Every time she goes outside
She barely gets home alive

She's got a problem

And she's gonna do something dumb

Oh yeah (oh yeah)
And I can see the signs
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Cause she's only killing time
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
And she's not long for this world

She's a danger to herself
And I'm worried about her health
She's got a problem
And she's gonna do something dumb
She's got a problem
And she's gonna do something dumb

"These Days"

Well I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do for you
And all the times I had a chance to

And I had a lover
But it's so hard to risk another these days
These days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song

"I Want An Alien For Christmas"

This year for Christmas
There's something I'd really like
So if you're up there somewhere Santa
Please don't bring me another bike

I don't need any ugly sweaters
And I don't play much basketball
But there's something kinda special
That I want most of all...

I want an alien for Christmas
Bring me an alien this year
I want a little green guy
About three feet high
