When I was a young boy. Growing up in the ghetto. Hanging out on corners. Singin' with the fellas. Lookin' for the cute chicks. Trying to find a bit of fun.
Thank you for this moment. I've gotta say how beautiful you are. Of all the hopes and dreams I could have prayed for. Here you are. If I could have one dance forever.
This sickness it burns inside me. It sticks in my throat I'm gonna choke I cannot speak. Besides it runs the fear of the unknown. Could this be some reckoning.
When the days start gettin' warmer. And the sun starts sinkin' slower. Weekends go by faster and beer starts tasting colder. Wanna tune into a station that takes me on a soul vacation.
Someone's been steppin' in. While you've been steppin' out. You thought you were slick, my friend. You thought you had it figured out. Honey. . But she was tired of bein' used.
Again. This couldn't happen again. This is that once in a lifetime. This is the thrill divine. . What's more. This never happened before. Though I have prayed for a lifetime.
(Goodbye cruel world). (Goodbye cruel world). . Oh, goodbye cruel world, I'm off to join the circus. Gonna be a broken-hearted clown. Paint my face with a good-for-nothin' smile.
She acts sorta teenage, just in-between age. Looks about four foot three. Although she's just small fry, just about so-high. Gidget is the one for me.
Got no money but when we make love. I feel like a millionaire. We got each other and that's enough. Cause with love money just can't be compared. . Got myself a girl.
Step back and look at you, and tell me that is what you want to be,. You realise that what you're seeing, is a replica of me.. Inside my world is pretty grim, that even I can't survive in,.
Through all of the trials that you had to live. You've held on, kept strong 'cause something had to give. The lesson's you've learned, the habits you've quit.
Say, why dont you change your mind?. Think it over one last time. Like you dont know yourself. . Our labors all depend on you. Theres consequence in what you choose.
Mmm, mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah. Woo, ooh, yeah, yeah, uh, oh. . You tried so hard to get. Right back inside my head. I'm not saying it was a real success.
Just the good ol' boys,. Never meanin' no harm,. Beats all you've ever saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was born.. . Straight'nin' the curve,.
Why do we cry. When there's no more goodbyes. Don't wanna get left behind. Don't wanna be the voice inside. . Suicide to think of you. But I still like the pain.
How do I open this door. Keeping my straight face. Right to the floor. You've gotten old just. Sitting in my pocket. And i've been told it's. Not worth the hassle.
[Chorus]. . There's no lie in this roof,. It's all right we got you,. You shine like gold. You were by, come to see all the guys. They are crazy, you shine like gold.
When the land of your father. is calling you again.. Find the time. to embrace your loneliness.. When the sun is leaving the sky. for a better end.. Find a place in your heart.
