You're much too young-
To be a part of me.
Too young-
To get a hold on me.
You're much too young-
You're much too young-
You're much too young-
To mess around with me.
Hey.
You know I've met a lot of cool chicks.
But I've never met a girl with all her own teeth
That's why I love you babe.
That's why we could be- but you're too young,
Too young.
Hey.
Sophisticated lady.
You know I've met a lot of cool chicks.
But you've got style.
You've got class.
But most of all-
You've got love technique.

It doesn't take a genius to tell me what I am,
Or lecture me with poetry, and tell me that I can.
I don't remember what happened yesterday,
I don't give a damn about what all those people say.
It takes years to find the nerve to be apart from what you've done,
To find the truth inside yourself and not depend on anyone.
It takes years to find the nerve to be apart from what you've done,
To find the truth inside yourself and not depend on anyone.
It don't take no Houdini to tell me what I am.
Parasites and literasites they 'd burn me if they can.
But I don't give a damn about what those people say,
They pick you up and kick you out, they hurt you every day.
It takes years to find the nerve to be apart from what you've done,
To find the truth inside yourself and not depend on anyone.
It takes years to find the nerve to be apart from what you've done,
To find the truth inside yourself and not depend on anyone.
It takes years to find the nerve to be apart from what you've done,
To find the truth inside yourself and not depend on anyone.
It takes years to find the nerve to be apart from what you've done,
To find the truth inside yourself and not depend on anyone.

There was a time I call before,
When all I knew was what I saw.
The keeper of a major key,
I lived in a town called Liberty.
I worked hard, to give you all the things that you need,
And almost anything that you see.
I spent a lifetime working on you,
And you won't even talk to me.
Can't you see?
Why don't you look at me?
It's not your right to be so much my enemy.
I knew that I could never give,
You knew that you could not forgive.
No price or pride would fall before
A ten foot wall without a door.
But you know, I watch every step you can make,
To find some other fool you can take.
And I don't know why I even try,
Because it all comes down to this...
Can't you see?
Why don't you look at me?
It's not your right to be so much my enemy.
Can't you see?
Why don't you look at me?
It's not your right to be so much my enemy.
I worked hard, to give you all the things that you need,
And almost anything that you see.
I spent a lifetime working on you,
And you won't even talk to me.

I just can't help thinking what you've done to me,
You built a wall of love and tore it right down in front of me.
And you think you know what's going on,
You keep telling me that I am wrong.
I don't care about what you do,
'Cause if you mess with me I'll get rid of you.
The picture you see is no portrait of me,
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't own,
And it's driving me wild,
It makes me act like a child.
You think I am crazy, but what can I do?
You waste your time, like my money,
It ain't so funny, but it's true.
(Don't waste my money, baby)
Now you can't tell me what's going on,
And that I am weak while you are strong,
What is it you need, that makes your heart bleed?
Do you really know? 'Cause it doesn't show.
The picture you see is no portrait of me,
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't own,
And it's driving me wild,
It makes me act like a child.
The picture you see is no portrait of me,
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't own,
And it's driving me wild,
It makes me act like a child.

Listen to me...
I know what I'm saying.
But lord it don't come easy-
To admit that I was wrong.
It took me far too long.
I counted on you to give me a reason,
Why the Sun don't shine in the season.
Grey sky surrounded me.
I'm not some kind of foolish lover-
I couldn't take this from no other.
You're not being cruel to me,
'Cause I always know you'll come back to me.
Yes, you'll come back to me.
'Cause I always know what it takes to make you my lover.
You once said to me-
That I was a cruel man.
And you know,
That I almost believed you.
I was blind, and I couldn't see.
You took my sight from me.
And all of these words,
And all this emotion,
Can't explain my hopeless devotion,
Or change what had to be.
I'm not some kind of foolish lover-
I couldn't take this from no other.
You're not being cruel to me,
'Cause I always know that you'll come back to me.
Yes, you'll come back to me.
I'm not some kind of foolish lover-
I couldn't take this from no other.
You're not being cruel to me,
'Cause I always know that you'll come back to me.
Yes, you'll come back to me.
I'm not some kind of foolish lover-
I couldn't take this from no other.
It's no good being cool with me,
'Cause I always know what it takes to make you my lover.

Answer me, why won't you answer me?
I can't recall the day that I last heard from you.
Well you don't get a town like this for nothing,
So here's what you've got to do:
You work your way to the top of the world,
Then you break your life in two.
Well, what's the use in complaining,
When you've got what you don't need?
Anyone would think you were hardened too,
What do you want me to believe?
What the hell is happening?
I can't think of everything.
I don't know what day it is,
Or who I'm talking to.
But I know that I'm o.k.,
'Cause you're here with me today.
I haven't got a single problem,
Now that I'm with you.
So what's the use in complaining,
When you've got everything you need?
Anyone would think you were hardened too,
What do you want me to believe?

How can I ever forget you?
You don't know just what I've been through.
The holiday we spent together,
Lives with me now and forever.
I tried but I can't find you.
Tell me now what do I do?
I tried but I can't find you.
Tell me now what do I do?
I can't find my piece of mind,
Because I need you with me all of the time.
I used to think about you night and day,
I used to feel what language cannot say.
Oh, I can't find you.
No, I can't find my piece of mind without you.
Maybe you will write me a letter,
And tell me why I never met you.
Our rendezvous just ended in sorrow,
Without you there's no tomorrow.
I tried but I can't find you.
Tell me now what do I do?
I tried but I can't find you.
Tell me now what do I do?
I can't find my piece of mind,
Because I need you with me all of the time.
I used to think about you night and day,
I didn't care what other people would say.
Oh, I can't find you.
No, I can't find my piece of mind without you.
I can't find my piece of mind,
Because I need you with me all of the time.
I used to think about you night and day,
I used to feel what language cannot say.
Oh, I can't find you.
No, I can't find my piece of mind without you.
Or with her, with you girl- it really don't do,
He sees other's faces, but never found you.

Grow up children, don't you suffer
At the hands of one another.
If you like a sleeping demon
Listen can you hear him weeping?
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow
He buys love to sell tomorrow.
My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the Point of No Return.
I've seen what a man can do,
I've seen all the hate of a woman, too.
Feel your heartbeat lose the rhythm,
He can't touch the world we live in.
Life is short but love is strong,
There lies a hope that I have found.
And if you try you'll find it, too
Remember why I'm telling you.
My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the Point of No Return.
I've seen what a man can do,
I've seen all the hate of a woman, too.
And they gave him away.
Let him whistle downwind.
By the look on his face,
He never gave in.

Nothing in this world
Can touch the music that I heard,
When I woke up this morning.
It put the Sun into my life,
It cut my heartbeat with a knife,
It was like no other morning.
I don't belong to noone,
But I want to be with you.
I can't be owned by noone,
What am I supposed to do?
I can't see the sense in your leaving,
All I need is your love to believe in.
Don't look into the Sun
It's not for me or anyone,
To steal the light out of the sky.
Is it really such a sin?
'Cause if it is then I'll give in.
I can't live without your love.
I don't belong to noone,
But I want to be with you.
I can't be owned by noone,
What am I supposed to do?
I can't see the sense in your leaving,
All I need is your love to believe in.
And for you I would do what I can,
But I can't change the way that I am.

Oh I just come from the land of the sun
from a war that must be won in the name of truth
Well I saw just so brave your freedom we will save
with our rifles and grenades and some help from God
I want to see my family
my wift and child waiting for me
just to go home I've been so alone you see
You just can't believe the joy I did receive
when I finally got my leave and I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky my transvictions could not lie
for my country I would die and I will see it soon
I want to see my family
my wife and child waiting for me
just to go home I've been so alone you see
When I walked through the door my wife she lay upon the floor
and with tears her eyes would soar I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand and I saw the telegram
said that I was brave brave man but that I was dead
I want to see my family
my wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home I've been so alone you see
I want to see my family
my wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home I've been so alone you see
I want to see my family
my wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home I've been so alone you see

The Perfect Kiss
I stood there beside myself thinking how about the weather
taking back a friend of mine suggested we go out together
then I knew it from the start this friend of mine would fall apart
turned enough to see his gun said let's go out and have some fun
I know you know we believe in the land of love
I know you know we believe in the land of love
I have always through about staying here and go without
tonight I should have stayed at home playing with my pleasure zone
he has always been so strange I often thought he was deranged
turned enough to see his gun I said let's go out and have some fun
I know you know we believe in the land of love
I know you know we believe in the land of love
----------------------------------------------------------
This time of night
We all feel the same all pleasure nothing to gain
I've know from the start I've grown used to a wooden heart
Now you know my name you search your empty name in vain
if you don't change your ways you'll end up here with neon rays
Without you they'll never know
Without you my life won't go
Without you they'll never show
Without you the night won't go
Without you I'm left alone
Without you I'm on my own
Without you I live in pain
Without you I've gone insane
Now ypu must decide what good have I win nothing to hide
marks they'll never show they don'tlike you they never know
Time we said goodbye bury your head I'm silent you'll cry
know the feel of pain join our world and play our game
Without you they'll never know
Without you my life won't go
Without you they'll never show
Without you the night won't go
Without you I'm left alone
Without you I'm on my own
Without you my life's in waste
just for you I wrap my face
Without you I'm left alone
Without you I'm on my own
Without you I live in pain
Without you I've gone insane

Sunrise
I could wait to hear your voice for too long now
one with conversation do now work somehow
tell me how does one get your soul in such with one above
when one way through the sencha to pay price for a piece of love
I just so had last night you would not talk to me
I live with the bit of you with a gift and I know what's going to be
why did you never speak my name in front of my family
you gave me a gift that you [learned so great] I give everything before
you'll pay my big god but you don't say that fortune to me
you'll pay my big god but you don't say that much to me
we might be your black sheep but you've got us a long time ago
we might be your black sheep but its time you remembered 'cause now
as we [sing] our days together I wondered could go wrong
no one told the truth of the thing of you so strong
oh think of me [...]
if you look between the lines you'll have your head enshirined
whatever I have done for you I've did for sympathy

Hello everyone its nice to be here
come so far to see you off
I can see your deep blue eyes
they sleep beneath the open sky
before you stands one like your brother
sweats his gut he needs no others
but how can I am thought to be
be here with you so jealously
know what you do is so unkind
you search for the life we need to find
there's right and there's wrong there's good there's bad
there's an answer to this I wish I had
oh you know what I need [ah] yes you do
oh you know what I need [ah] yes you do
well we had a party in our hotel last night
ended up in an awful fight
my friend rescued my heart too
I hope I don't end up like you
oh you know what I need [ah] yes you do
oh you know what I need [ah] yes you do
your country is a wonderful place
you pass my England to displace
to I had the strength that be so much more useable
I think I go when it gets seasonable
you know what you do is so unkind
you search for the life we need to find
ther's right and there's wrong there's good there's bad
there's an answer to this I wish I had
oh you know what I need [ah] yes you do
oh you know what I need [ah] yes you do

I like walking in the park when it gets late at night
I move round in the dark and leave when it gets light
I sit around by day tied up in chains so tight
these crazy words of mine so wrong they might be right
what do I get out of this I always try I always miss
one of these days you'll go back to your home
you won't even notice that you are alone
one of these days when you sit by yourself
you realize you can't shop without someone else
in the end you will submit
its got to hurt you a little bit
I like taking in my sleep when people work so hard
they need what they can keep a choice that leaves them scarred
a view without a room unviels the truth so soon
when the sun goes go down you've lost what you have found
what do I get out of this I always try I always miss
one of these days you'll go back to your home
you won't even notice that you are alone
one of these days when you sit by yourself
you realize you can't shop without someone else
in the end you will submit
its got to hurt you a little bit
what do I get out of this I always try I always miss
one of these days you'll go back to your home
you won't even notice that you are alone
one of these days when you sit by yourself
you realize you can't shop without someone else
in the end you will submit
its got to hurt you a little bit
what do I get out of this I always try I always miss
one of these days you'll go back to your home
you won't even notice that you are alone
one of these days when you sit by yourself
you realize you can't shop without someone else
in the end you will submit
its got to hurt you a little bit
what do I get out of this I always try I always miss
one of these days you'll go back to your home
you won't even notice that you are alone

ever since I've seen your face
this life of mine has gone to waste
I was young and you were old
and I always knew you were cold
I could stary you [hard on high]
but in the end you lost your friend
can you see your own dark faces
dying in a lonely place
oh how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said oh how I cannot bear the thought of you
as we get old you lose our place
reflecting back the world's disgrace
I fish so low I feel so humble
sometimes in life we take a tumble
don't let anybody tell you that you're no good cause you know they would
don't let anybody tell you what you should do cause its not that way
oh how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said oh how I cannot bear the thought of you
we were yoing and we were strong and life we just an open door
I said oh oh how I cannot bear the thought of you
you were me and I was you
this world of our it felt brand new
you took me a little further
I've heard it all before I've heard it all before
I can't help it anymore
your hair was long your wyws was blue
guess what I'm gonna do to you
oh how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said oh how I cannot bear the thought of you
we were yoing and we were strong and life we just an open door
I said oh oh how I cannot bear the thought of you
oh how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said oh how I cannot bear the thought of you
we were yoing and we were strong and life we just an open door...
