Silly Of me to think that I could ever have you for my guy  
How I love you… how I want you…  
Silly of me to think that you could ever really want me too  
How I love you…

You’re just a lover out to score  
I know that I should be looking for more  
What could it be in you I see  
What could it be…  
Oh, Love, oh, love, stop making a fool of me  
Oh, Love, oh, love, stop making a fool of me

</div>

What kind of fool am I, who never fell in love?  
It seems that I’m the only one I have been thinking of.  
What kind of man is this? An empty shell, a lonely cell  
In which an empty heart must dwell?  
What kind of lips are these that lied with every kiss?  
That whispered empty words of love that left me alone like this?  
Why can’t I fall in love like any other man?  
And maybe then I’ll know what kind of fool I am.

</div>

You see her face in every crowd  
You hear her voice, but you’re still proud  
So you turn away

You tell yourself that you’ll be strong  
But your heart tells you, this time you’re wrong

You hope that she will change her mind  
But the days drift on and on  
You’ll never know the reason why she’s gone

Empty rooms  
Where we learn to live without love  
Empty rooms  
Where we learn to live without love  
Empty rooms  
Where we learn to live without love

</div>

Since you’re gone the nights are getting strange  
Since you’re gone nothing’s making sense  
Since you’re gone I stumble in the shade  
Since you’re gone everything’s in perfect tense  
I can’t help it when you fall apart  
I can’t help it I guess you better start  
That is forgetting about you  
Since you’re gone the nights are getting strange  
Since you’re gone I’m throwing it all away  
I can’t help it everything’s a mess  
I can’t help it you’re so treacherous  
When it comes to tenderness  
Since you’re gone  
Since you’re gone I miss the peak sensation  
Since you’re gone I took the big vacation  
Since you’re gone I never feel sedate  
Since you’re gone the moonlight ain’t so great

Oh, she may be weary  
Young girls they do get weary  
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah  
But when she gets weary  
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah

You know she’s waiting  
Just anticipating  
For things that she’ll never, never, never, never possess, yeah yeah  
But while she’s there waiting, without them  
Try a little tenderness (that’s all you gotta do)

The waiting is the hardest part  
Every day you see one more card  
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart  
The waiting is the hardest part

</div>

Well I guess it would be nice  
If I could touch your body  
I know not everybody  
Has got a body like you

But I’ve got to think twice  
Before I give my heart away  
And I know all the games you play  
Because I play them too

Oh but I  
Need some time off from that emotion  
Time to pick my heart up off the floor  
And when that love comes down  
Without devotion  
Well it takes a strong man baby  
But I’m showing you the door

'Cause I gotta have faith…

</div>

Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet  
But only for one night with no repeat  
Maybe you’d go away and never call  
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all (oh little girl)

Oh little girl, in that case I don’t want no part  
That would only break my heart  
Oh, but if you feel like loving me  
If you got the notion  
I second that emotion  
Said, if you feel like giving me  
A lifetime of devotion  
I second that emotion

And you should follow it wherever it may go

Heart of my heart, I love that melody  
Heart of my heart, brings back a memory

When we were kids on the corner of the street  
We were rough 'n ready guys  
But oh, how we could harmonize

</div>

I have often walked down this street before;  
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.  
All at once am I several stories high.  
Knowing I’m on the street where you live.  
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?  
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?  
Does enchantment pour out of ev’ry door?  
No, it’s just on the street where you live!

Some enchanted evening  
You may see a stranger  
You may hear him call you  
Across a crowded room

</div>

Have I been sleeping for all these years?  
Is it magic that makes you appear?  
When you walked in the room I felt my heart race  
But knew I’d been fooled when I looked at your face

In your lips I sense a danger  
You’ve got the eyes of a stranger

</div>

Take this daring leap  
Wake, you’ve been asleep  
Go attack your life  
The paint is peeling  
Scrape to save what’s yours

Someone fell across me  
Regretting their honesty  
Shook away the cautious care  
Looked right though me like I wasn’t there

Don’t block out your view…

High vibration go on  
To the sun  
Oh, let my heart dreaming  
Past a mortal as me  
Where can I be?

Wish the sun to stand still  
Reaching out to touch our all being  
Past all mortal as we  
Here we can be (He can be here)  
Here we can be (Be here now)

Suns…  
High…  
Streams…  
Through…  
Awaken gentle mass touch  
(Gentle mass touch)  
Awaken gentle mass touch  
(Gentle mass touch)

Strong…  
Dreams…  
Reign…  
Here…  
Awaken gentle mass touch  
(Gentle mass touch)  
Awaken gentle mass touch  
(Gentle mass touch)

Well I don’t care about history  
Rock, rock, rock’n’roll high school  
'Cause that’s not where I wanna be

I just wanna have some kicks  
I just wanna get some chicks  
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock’n’roll high school

Six of one a half a dozen  
Black guitars and plastic blues  
Hide behind a wall of nothing  
Nothing said and nothing new

Four chords that made a million

You belong there on the cover  
You are the emperor in new clothes  
A man who thinks he owns the future  
Will sell your vacuum with his prose

Four chords that made a million

And then a moron with a cheque book  
Will take you out to lunch, who knows?  
He will tell you you’re a saviour  
And then he’ll drop you like a stone

Four chords that made a million

And I have tried and I have died  
Trying to get through  
But in the end I can’t defend you.

Four chords that made a million
