It's OK, I'll do what I want
If I choose, I can take the fall
There's a choice
It's my destiny
In my hands
yeah it's up to me
I can drive
I can shoot a gun in the streets
score me some heroin
I can jump
Be the sacrifice
Bear the cross just like Jesuschrist
And I don't wanna hear
What love can do
No, I ain't gonna tell ya
what's right for you
Is It right to take east way
Close your eyes
Get on your knees an' pray
Now you are saved by a higher voice
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up your choice
If I'm wrong, then I'll pay for it
If I'm right, yeah you're gonna hear about it
But I've tried, yeah I've tried for it
I tried, I tried 'til I'm satisfied
And I...
I'm tired of hearing what love can do
And I...
Ain't gonna tell you what's right for you
I've seen the damage done
Down with a shotgun
Don't stop the setting sun on my kingdom com
Ohhh...
Is it right to take easy way
I don't know, I get on my knees and pray
Now I'm saved by a higher voice
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up my choice
If I'm wrong, they'll pay for it
If I'm right, yeah
Your gonna deal with it
'cause I tried, yeah, I tried for it
I'll try, I'll try, even die for it
No I...
Don't wanna hear what love can do
No I...
I can't tell ya what's right for you
Oh I...I...I...
Tell you what love can do
No I...I...I...
Can't say but your time is through
I've seen the damage done
Oh, Lord, I've haerd the shotgun
I fought the setting sun
On my kingdom come
Ohhh...
Don't tell me what love can do
Hey, hey, hey
Don't tell me what love can do
Hey, hey, hey

Some say money is bad for the soul
Bad for the rock, bad for the roll
Bad for the heart , bad for the brain
Bad for the damn near everything oh yeah
It must be good for something
Come on pay the rent
Telephone, telefax, telefunkin' teletrash
Tell a cop, tell a friend
Think we've hit the stonet end
Nothing left, nothing right
Now they want a bigger bite
Everybody wants some
Everybody wants big money oh yeah
They want big fat money
That's what I want
Big fat money
Too much temptation
Enough to kill a generation
Space station, starvation. Premature ejaculation
This ain't groovin', this ain't funky
It's on my back
But it ai't my monkey no
Oh yeah, gimme some of that big big money
That's what I want
Big fat money
Big big money
Smoke this, eat that
My ol' lady's gettin' fat
High rise, high rent
Before it's earned, it's all been spent
Where's it gonna come from?
Who's it gonna to go?
Ain't beatin' but I'm being eatin' by money, oh yeah
Big big money, gimme, gimme, gimme
Some of that big money, alright
That's what I want
Well alright, oh big big money
Now, gimme, gimme, gimme
Some of that big money
That's what I want
That's wht I need
Gimme big fat money
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme some of the big fat money

Not Enough

To love somebody naturally
To love somebody faithfully
To love somebody equalyy
Is not enough
Is not enough
It's not enough
To love somebody secretly
And never touch
To love somebody honestly
And always trust
To love somebody tendrely
The tender touch
It's not enough
It's not enough
Love hurts you sometimes
It's no so easy to find, no
Searchin' everywhere
You turn and swear
It's always been there
To love somebody foolishly
Can happen once
To love somebody hopelessly
It hurts so much
To love somebody equally
Is not enough
Is not enough
It's not enough
Love takes little time
It's no so easy to find, no
Searchin' everywhere
You turn and swear
She's always been there
Standin' there
(Solo)
And if don't come easily
One thing you must believe
You can always have trust in me
Because my heart will always be
Yours honestly
Yeah, love hurts you sometimes
It's no so easy to find
Searchin' everywhere
You turn and swear
I'ts always been there
Standing there
Love hurts you sometimes
It's not your, it's not mine
Love's only to share
Turn and swear
It's everywhere
Standing there
'cause it's always been there

but right now baby, I don't really wanna see your face yeah, and that's a fact 
right now, honey all I know is what I'm feelin' inside 
right now, baby I'm alone and I'm swallowing a lot of pride 
and it ain't gonna change overnight, no 
and it ain't gonna change without a fight 
livin' with the aftershock

but now I'm livin' with the aftershock 
and it ain't gonna change, it ain't goin' away, no

I thought I saw you in the distance 
I thought I'd found you once again 
touched on that feelin' for an instant 
could not recall just where or when 
oh no 
some desert island off Morocco 
we had a love so hard to find 
oh so full of life, so free and easy 
another place, another time, oh 
take me back 
I wanna be there with you 
it happened just like that 
slip in a dream or two 
come on, take me back 
oh, deja vu 
one soul, one mind 
one light that shines 
one love, so fine 
oh, come on, take me back 
some call it fate, some superstition 
some call it luck, it's all the same 
just one of the mysteries of creation 
somethin' you feel but can't explain 
oh, take me back 
I wanna be there with you 
it happened just like that 
I've fallin' deep into 
oh girl, come on 
I want you to take me there 
oh, I know, I know, I know, I know..... 
take me back, baby 
I swear I've been with you 
it happened just like that 
send me a dream or two 
come on, take me back 
oh, deja vu

Feelin'

'cause you know it's coming at you
while your back is turned
look too long and i can't help you
so clear your head, find a way home
better make up your mind

first you say that you will
then you say you won't
well i'm just trying to figure
try and figure you out

how long can this go on
tell me what is wrong
and maybe there's a way
that we can work it out

that we can make it right
but i, i just can't do it all
without you, without you

but i, i just can't do it all
without you, without you

the point i'm trying to make
you got to give more than you take
you gotta give, give more than you take
gotta, gotta, gotta work it out

if i cannot see you from afar
look into your eyes, that hint of depth
hidden inside

if i cannot hear you from afar
whisper in my ear, rest assured that
you are near

and i know not what it's like
the aforementioned
for the distance between us
as are the stars, i only have you
in my imagination
in my imagination
just to love you
from afar

if i cannot kiss you from afar
press against your lips, taste the
sweetness of your breath

if i cannot touch you from afar
hold you in my arms, keep you warm
and safe from harm

though our circumstances
cause separation
in the absence
there's a presence in my heart
i will surrender, i'll surrender to my
quiet contemplation
my quiet contemplation
i'll just, i'll just love you
from afar

there must be a better way
a better way of passing the time
'cause' i can't seem to get her out
get her out of my mind
