A year ago today I felt like dying. As unloved and unwanted as a heart could be. But time has a way of changing yesterday. Now the hurtin's all over, all over me.
Hello stranger you look familiar you remind me of someone I used to love. But I guess stranger if I look longer you won't even resamble the one I'm thinking of.
(Heartaches by the number heartache number one two three). Heartache number one was when you left me. I never knew that I could hurt this way. Heartache number two was when you came back again.
Well I said friend don't take him he's all I got. Please don't take his love away from me. I'm a beggin' you friend don't take him he's all I got. He's everything in life I'll ever need.
He called me baby, baby all night long. Used to hold and kiss me till the dawn. Then one day I awoke and he was gone. Now there's no more baby, baby all night long.
Have I told you lately that I love you,. Could I tell you once again, somehow.. Have I told you how with heart and soul, that I adore you?. Well darling I'm telling you now!.
Maybe I don't love you quite as much as I believe I love you baby. But don't tell me cause lovin' you's a happy state of mind. Maybe I don't need you quite as much as I profess to need you baby.
Hey baby, I'm in town and I thought I'd give you a call. Maybe we could get together, have dinner, go to a show. Maybe go to a museum, an art gallery.
Everyone has their own story. You have yours, I have mine. Today mine happens to be about. A yellow dress. . And behind the yellow dress. Lies a warm and beating heart.
Winter time and the frozen river. Sunday afternoon. They're playing hockey on the river. Rosy. He'll have that scar on his chin forever someday his girlfriend will say hey.
Someone's mother falls to the sidewalk. On the next street someone looks up. In the cathedral a burst of laughter. In another city the pigeons fly up and scatter.
Heard it all before --- Janet Gabriel. . I've given you the benefit (..of the doubt). I trusted everything you did. Though they said you played around.
Verse I. Honey, hold my purse. I will nurse/ this game back to its worth. I will curse/ these rappers, they the worse. I'm the toughest nigga in the game wearing a skirt.
Stand as the snowflakes fall silently. Finding their rest in the street. They parachute down spinning gracefully. To the tune of the bells in the city.
Wanna know, about his, single-minded drive, his ego?. Listen to him as he, taunts and takes on all, of his enemies with a savage swagger. . Watch him point his middle finger..
Friday night and I'm bored again. my wallet holds another ten. get my stuff and pack to go. all geared up for another show. me and my buds gas up our van.
Theres only one place I gotta be. With music all over me. Baby theres heartache on the dance floor. . DJ show me some sympathy. Now where the hells my freakin song.
I know you know the humility of pain. But I must tell you to understand. The personalities of your fellows. As long as you keep your life. You got to know where to go.
How many places have you called your home. How many faces look the same as your own. How did you do it when they stripped you of your pride. Would you say it's time, oh won't you say it's time.
