You feel it now. But it won't last. Without a doubt. It's bound to pass. Mark my word. Mark my word. Mark my word. It's such a thrill. When love begins.
I've been walking these mean streets. Hard concrete beneath my feet. Ain't found a friendly face among the crowd. The city's like a Christmas tree. A light for every dreamer's dream.
Baby I'm sorry. I didn't see him coming. He was just around the corner. Now he's got us running. We could hide in a closet. But I know he's gonna find us.
Rain falls on my roof. Doing what it's meant to do. Forever lost to the ground. Hangs around in the sky. Then lets go when it's time. It doesn't mind coming down.
Change comes in like a rising tide. Ain't no reason, ain't no signs. It's just the way the tilt a whirl turns. It's just the way the barricades burn. .
it's been a long dark night. and i've been waiting for the morning. it's been a long hard fight. but i see a brand new day dawning. . i've been looking for the sunshine.
Don't expect a twirl. She's not that kind of girl. She reserves the right to be sullen. In a purple mood. Yeah she still thinks it's cool. So don't even try to tell her nothin'.
Sometimes in the mornings I wake up devastated that you're gone. It drives me kinda crazy and I tell myself it's been a little long. To still be expecting you to call me up on the phone.
Everytime you add it up are you left wanting. Simple things you just can't seem to keep a hold on. . 'Cause everyone who said they'd come just left you waiting.
Sorrow, I'm told. Comes and goes. But that ain't what I say. . 'Cause for me. The misery. Never goes away. . It's been like this. Ever since. You told me goodbye.
Is it worth it. You gotta wonder. No sane person. Would say it was. . It's for certain. We're going under. Things ain't working. Between the two of us.
Wish there was something in my heart to give you. But I felt around and nothing's left. I'm trying to dig deeper but I've hit the bottom. I've gotta let go and save myself.
Heard the preacher at the service. Declare you'd gone home that day. To meet the maker and his servants. And take a rest amidst his grace. . He said now that you're in heaven.
I scrub the varnish off the hardwood floor. That cigarette burn by the bedroom. Well it ain't there anymore. Tried to call my mama I forgot she was gone.
I want a little sugar. In my bowl. I want a little sweetness. Down in my soul. I could stand some lovin'. Oh so bad. I feel so funny and I feel so sad.
It wears on my patience when I talk to those deejays. At the corporation station they slather on false praise. Even though I'm slow I know no radio will give my record spins.
I found a letter that you wrote me. It said I was your one and only. And you would never ever leave my loving arms. But the truth is all that matters.
My feet feel like two stones. I walk this road alone. Ain't got no way to know. Where I'm supposed to go. . I lost my crystal ball. Found me a wrecking ball.
You're lookin' for someone. Whose got it all to give. You're lookin' for someone. Who won't care how you live. You're lookin' for someone. Who won't need a love from you.
Don't you look pretty. Dressed to the nines. Comfortably sitting. On your gold mine. Blood red and blonde. Lipstick and curls. A high-heeled don Juan.
