Short people got no reason,  
Short people got no reason,  
Short people got no reason to live.

One morning when I was out shopping  
Though you’ll find it hard to believe  
A little blue man came out of the crowd  
And timidly tugged at my sleeve.

“I wuv you! I wuv you!” said the little blue man  
“I wuv you! I wuv you to bits.”  
“I wuv you!” He loved me said the little blue man  
And scared me right out of my wits.

Love to, love to, love you

</div>

Look at me, I’m as helpless as a kitten up a tree  
And I feel like I’m clinging to a cloud I can’t understand  
I get misty just holding your hand.

</div>

If I fell in love with you  
Would you promise to be true?  
And help me understand  
'Cause I’ve been in love before  
And I’ve found that love was more  
Than just holding hands

</div>

I want you, I need you,  
But there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you.  
Now, don’t be sad,  
Cause 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

</div>

Cold, no I don’t believe your heart is cold  
Maybe just afraid to be broken again  
Let someone with a deep love to give  
Give that deep love to you  
And see what happens

</div>

Don’t make no promises  
That I can’t keep  
Won’t be no prisoner  
Of somebody’s need  
Well you may have lovers  
Wherever you roam  
But sooner or later  
We all sleep alone

</div>

no it ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal  
Like you never done before  
And it ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal  
I can’t hear ya any more  
I’m a-thinkin’ and a-wond’rin’ walkin’ down the road  
I once loved a woman, a child I’m told  
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul  
But don’t think twice, it’s all right

If you don’t want me forever  
If you don’t need me forever  
If you don’t love me forever  
Take me for a little while so I could hold you, baby  
(Take me for a little while) So I could make you want me

So what’s the glory in living?  
Doesn’t anybody ever stay together anymore?  
And if love never lasts forever, tell me what’s forever for?

Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love  
And maybe our children’s grandchildren  
And their great-great grandchildren will tell  
I’ll be loving you

I never thought I’d get to be the thing

I’m not the guy who cared about love  
And I’m not the guy who cared about fortunes and such  
I never cared much  
Oh, look at me now!

When I was young,  
I never needed anyone.  
And making love was just for fun.  
Those days are gone.

And all the conversations I can now recall  
Concern themselves with me and nothing else at all.  
Yesterday, when I was young.

I do not remember Easter.  
I do not remember fall.  
So it’s possible December  
Never happened after all.  
Did we trim the tree together?  
I can’t get the image through.  
Cause I don’t remember Christmas  
And I don’t remember you.

</div>

Snowy nights and Christmas lights,  
And icy windowpanes  
Make me wish that we could be  
Together again.  
And the windy winter avenues  
Just don’t seem the same.  
And the Christmas carols sound like blues,  
But the choir is not to blame.
