JUST A FEELING
SHE’S GOT A HEART
AND IT’S MADE OF GOLD
SHE’S GOT A MIND
ALL OF HER OWN
SHE’S THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN PUT UP WITH ME
AND ALL MY JEALOUSLY
THAT’S WHY I FEEL SO SURE
LOVE IS THE ONLY CURE
THAT’S WHY I FEEL SO PURE
LYING BESIDE HER
IT’S JUST A FEELING
IT’S JUST A FEELING
IT’S JUST A FEELING
SHE BRINGS OUT IN ME
SHE BRINGS OUT IN ME
I’’VE GOT A FACE
THAT CAN DARKEN ANY DAY
I’M IN A MOOD
THAT JUST WON’T GO AWAY
BUT SHE’S THE ONLY ONE
WHO EVER CARES FOR ME
AND SHE WAITS SO PATIENTLY
THAT’S WHY I FEEL SO SURE
LOVE IS THE ONLY CURE
THAT’S WHY I FEEL SO PURE
LYING BESIDE HER
IT’S JUST A FEELING
IT’S JUST A FEELING
IT’S JUST A FEELING
SHE BRINGS OUT IN ME
SHE BRINGS OUT IN ME
SHE BRINGS OUT IN ME

FOUR WALLS

FOUR WALLS
SHUFFLE DOWN THE TOWN
BACK ON FAMILIAR GROUND
THERE’S A PLACE I USED TO KNOW
THEY KNOCKED IT DOWN TO WIDEN THE ROAD
MAN IN A SUIT
TALKIN’ FAST AND TALKIN’ SMOOTH
BUT HE’S WASTING MY TIME
I’D RATHER LISTEN TO THIS OL’ HEART OF MINE
BUT THEY CAN’T HURT ME NOW
INSIDE MY FOUR WALLS
I FEEL SO SAFE AND SOUND
BUT FOR HOW LONG
COUNTING THE DAYS
THERE’S A DARK DEADLY HAZE
JUST OUTSIDE MY WINDOW
WHERE THERE USED TO BE WIDE OPEN MEADOW
BUT THEY CAN’T HURT ME NOW
INSIDE MY FOUR WALLS
I FEEL SO SAFE AND SOUND
BUT FOR HOW LONG
THEY LOCKED ME UP
AND THREW AWAY THE KEY
MY HANDS ARE TIED
NEVER TO BE FREE
NEVER TO BE FREE
BUT THEY CAN’T HURT ME NOW
INSIDE MY FOUR WALLS
I FEEL SO SAFE AND SOUND
BUT FOR HOW LONG

HOW MUCH CAN ONE MAN TAKE?
YOU PUT ME DOWN EVERY CHANCE YOU GET
IT’S BEEN THE SAME EVER SINCE WE MET
CAN’T TAKE NO MORE, I CAN’T GET A BREAK
EVERY NIGHT I JUST LIE AWAKE
WELL HOW MUCH CAN ONE MAN TAKE, OH LORD
WELL HOW MUCH CAN ONE MAN TAKE?
I’M SO TIRED, I CAN’T CARRY ON
YOU COUNT THE DAYS TILL I’M DEAD AND GONE
I TAKE A WALK DOWN BY A NEARBY LAKE
I TRY TO PRAY BUT I’M LOSING MY FAITH
WELL HOW MUCH CAN ONE MAN TAKE, OH LORD\
WELL HOW MUCH CAN ONE MAN TAKE
SOME DREAM OF ANGELS IN PARADISE
I DREAM OF ALL THE THINGS I WILL NEVER HAVE
BUT WHEN I OPEN MY EYES
AND FEEL MY HEART ACHE
THEN I KNOW THERE’S NO ESCAPE
WELL HOW MUCH CAN ONE MAN TAKE, OH LORD
WELL HOW MUCH CAN ONE MAN TAKE?

FROM GOOD TO BAD
YOU WERE SOMEONE SPECIAL
YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR ME
I GUESS NOW, I’VE LEARNT MY LESSON
THE ONLY TIME I’LL EVER HOLD YOU
IS IN MY DREAMS
SINCE I LOST YOU
I NEVER KNEW HOW FAR I COULD FALL
I FOUND OUT SOON
NOW I’M TRYIN’ TO MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL
I SHOULD HAVE HELD ON TO
WHAT I ALREADY HAD
WHAT CAN I DO
IT’S ALL GONE FROM GOOD TO BAD
IT’S ALL GONE FROM GOOD TO BAD
I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING
I WAS ONLY THERE FOR ME
ALL MY LIES, YOU SAW RIGHT THROUGH THEM
THE ONLY TRUTH I EVER TOLD YOU WAS SAYING GOODBYE
SINCE I LOST YOU
I NEVER KNEW HOW FAR I COULD FALL
I FOUND OUT SOON
NOW I’M TRYIN’ TO MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL
I SHOULD HAVE HELD ON TO
WHAT I ALREADY HAD
WHAT CAN I DO
IT’S ALL GONE FROM GOOD TO BAD
IT’S ALL GONE FROM GOOD TO BAD

MR HOT SHOT
MR HOT SHOT YOU DUNNO WHAT’ S WHAT
MR HOT SHOT ACTING COOL BUT YOU’RE NOT
MR HOT SHOT YOU’LL NEVER HAVE WHAT I’VE GOT
YOU BURNT ALL MY BOOKS
THREW A SPANNER IN THE WORKS
MADE ME WALLOW IN SELF PITY
LIED TO ME LIKE WALTER MITTY
THEN YOU TURNED OFF THE SUN
AND SPOILED ALL MY FUN
YOU UPSET THE APPLE CART
DROVE A STAKE THROUGH MY HEART
LEFT ME LYING HERE ALONE
LIKE A DOG WITHOUT A BONE
THEN YOU WENT ON THE RUN
NOW I’M BACK TO SQUARE ONE
MR HOT SHOT YOU DUNNO WHAT’ S WHAT
MR HOT SHOT ACTING COOL BUT YOU’RE NOT
MR HOT SHOT YOU’LL NEVER HAVE WHAT I’VE GOT
YOU CRUSHED BOTH MY HANDS
RUINED MY BEST LAID PLANS
ABANDONED ME AGAIN
LIKE I WAS THE LIVING END
THEN YOU FOUND YOURSELF A GUN
NOW I DON’T FEEL SO YOUNG
YOU WENT AND LEFT YOUR MARK
IT WAS WORSE THAN YOUR BARK
IF YOU EVER HAD A HEART
YOU’D HAVE PULLED IT APART
IF I EVER NEED SOMEONE
YOU’LL NEVER THE ONE
MR HOT SHOT YOU DUNNO WHAT’ S WHAT
MR HOT SHOT ACTING COOL BUT YOU’RE NOT
MR HOT SHOT YOU’LL NEVER HAVE WHAT I’VE GOT

REAL MEN JUST ARE
YOU RUN AROUND LIKE A DOG IN HEAT
PERMA TAN AND TWO LEFT FEET
THINK YOU’RE TOUGH, KING OF THE APES
WELL YOU JUST HAVEN’T GOT WHAT IT TAKES
YOU DRIVE A RED CONVERTIBLE
NAME’S UNPRONOUNCEABLE
TRYIN’ TO BE SOMEBODY YOU’RE NOT
TRYIN’ TO BE ANYBODY FULL STOP
REAL MEN DON’T SHOW ANY FEAR AND
REAL MEN DON’T CRY IN THEIR BEER AND
WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN
YOU GOTTA BE STRONG
YOU GOTTA SHINE JUST LIKE A STAR
CAUSE REAL MEN JUST ARE
BREATH SMELLS HALITOSIS
YOU’D KILL A BED OF ROSES
THERE’S NOT ENOUGH OXYGEN
GETTING TO YOUR TINY BRAIN
YOU’VE GOT NO BICEPS, A PIGEON CHEST
I’VE SEEN MORE MEAT ON A DEAD FLY’S ASS
THEY KICK SAND IN YOUR FACE
SAY YOU’RE A WASTE OF SPACE
YOU GOTTA BE THE BEST
THERE’S NO POINT BEING ANYTHING LESS
REAL MEN DON’T SHOW ANY FEAR AND
REAL MEN DON’T CRY IN THEIR BEER AND
WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN
YOU GOTTA BE STRONG
YOU GOTTA SHINE JUST LIKE A STAR
CAUSE REAL MEN JUST ARE

MAKIN’ A BEELINE FOR YOU
WHAT IS THIS CHEMISTRY WHEN OPPOSITES ATTRACT?
WHAT IS THIS RECIPE THAT KEEPS ME COMING BACK?
IT’S IN YOUR SMILE
IT’S IN YOUR KISS
YOU’VE GOT A STYLE
THAT’S ALL THERE IS
THE WAY YOU LAUGH
THE WAY YOU MOVE
I JUST HAVE TO HAVE YOU
YOU’VE GOT A TASTE THAT’S SO REFINED
THAT’S WHY I WASTE SO LITTLE TIME
MAKIN’ A BEELINE FOR YOU
WHAT IS THIS HASTE WHO CAN DEFINE
WHY DO I CHASE WHAT ISN’T MINE
MAKIN’ A BEELINE FOR YOU
WHAT IS THIS REMEDY THAT MAKES ME SO ILL?
WHAT IS THIS MEMORY THAT LINGERS UNTIL
YOU’RE IN MY ARMS
I’M BY YOUR SIDE
YOU WORK YOUR CHARMS
AND I’M TONGUE TIED
I GO WEAK
FALL APART
CAN ONLY SPEAK FROM THE HEART
WITHOUT YOU, WHAT ON EARTH COULD I DO
I’M HELPLESS LIKE A LITTLE CHILD
WHEN I’M WITH YOU
FEEL LIKE I’M A MAN WHO
CAN DO, ANYTHING THAT I DECIDE
WHEN YOU’RE BY MY SIDE
YOU’VE GOT A TASTE THAT’S SO REFINED
THAT’S WHY I WASTE SO LITTLE TIME
MAKIN’ A BEELINE FOR YOU
WHAT IS THIS HASTE WHO CAN DEFINE
I’M GONNA SAY IT ONE MORE TIME
I’M MAKIN’ A BEELINE FOR YOU

WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS
WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS, I WANDER THE STREETS
JUST ME AND MY SHADOW WALKING HOME
THE CLOCK’S JUST STRUCK FOUR
I DON’T CARE ANYMORE
I’M FEELING LOST AND ALONE
I DON’’T WANNA HEAR ABOUT MORE FISH IN THE SEA
I DON’T WANNA HEAR HOW IT WASN’T TO BE
NOW EVERY NIGHT REPEATS
WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS
WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS, I CAN HEAR MY HEART BEAT
AND IT’S TELLING ME NOT TO YEARN
I FEEL SO WIDE AWAKE
IT’S EARLY AND IT’S LATE
WHEN WILL I EVER LEARN
I OUGHTA BE SMART AND I OUGHTA TO BE COOL
I OUGHTA BE KNOWING WHAT I OUGHTA BE DOING
I’M THE GHOST THAT NO ONE MEETS
WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS
YOU KNOW IT’S CRAZY, YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE
SOMETIMES YOU MEET SOMEONE, OUT OF THE BLUE
A PERFECT STRANGER, BUT THEN A SHORT TIME LATER
SHE’S IN YOUR ARMS, SHE’S THE ONE FOR YOU
WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS, THE MOON PLAYS HIDE AND SEEK
SHINING DOWN FROM HIGH ABOVE
THERE’S MAGIC IN THE AIR
CASTS ITS SPELL EVERYWHERE
IT’S NOT JUST FOOLS WHO FALL IN LOVE
I MADE A PROMISE THAT I’LL ALWAYS BE TRUE
THIS TIME NEXT WEEK I’LL BE ANSWERING ‘I DO’
YEAH I GUESS SHE’S GOT ME FOR KEEPS
WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS
WHILE THE CITY…..SLEEPS

TANGLED UP WITH YOU
I WANT TO GO FORWARD
BUT TAKE TWO STEPS BACK
INVISIBLE FORCES
PERHAPS PERHAPS
WHEN I GO TO LIE DOWN
YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON MY CHEST
I START TO SHIVER
THE CLOSER YOU GET
I’M TANGLED UP WITH YOU
NO MATTER WHAT I DO
I’M TANGLED UP WITH YOU
I’M TANGLED UP WITH YOU
YOU’RE GIVING ME THOSE DIRTY LOOKS
YOU LEAVE YOUR TONGUE OUT
JUST TO TRIP ME UP
YOU’RE BREATHING DOWN MY NECK
YOU WATCH MY EVERY MOVE
I HIDE UPSTAIRS
BUT YOU’RE HIDING THERE TOO
I’M TANGLED UP WITH YOU
NO MATTER WHAT I DO
I’M TANGLED UP WITH YOU
I’M TANGLED UP WITH YOU
IS IT SOME KIND OF GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO WIN
AT ANY COST
I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S LOVE OR LUST
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S DOING TO US
I DON’T KNOW IF I’VE BEEN CURSED
I DON’T KNOW WHY YOU MEAN SO MUCH
ALL I KNOW IS YOU GOT ME BY THE THROAT
AND ALL I KNOW IS YOU WON’T FEEL GOOD
UNTIL I’M DRESSED ALL IN WOOD
