I guess that that’s old The curtain comes down the circus leaves town And leaves the game to fold I guess that I think The world keeps spinnin’, people keep sinnin’ All the rest is just bullshit The shadow’s getting longer The widow’s getting younger The cup doth overflow The luxury of painted Babies in a crib On with the show Life is a tangle Of one-night triangles The tangle of life leaps You sleep like a baby You’re precious as a ruby Goodbye, everything I suppose you’ll say she made a fool of me Oh, but she has authority ---

Dawn will find me here and I think about One that I thought I couldn’t live without One day she was here, the next day gone But the love that was never clear was just alone And how can you lose something you only thought That you found so you wipe away the tears with a smile All the world keeps spinning 'round Yes, the world keeps spinning 'round All the world keeps spinning 'round All the world keeps spinning 'round ---

Where are you going, my little one, little one, Where are you going, my baby, my own? Turn around and you’re two, Turn around and you’re four, Turn around and you’re a young girl going out of my door. Turn around, turn around, Turn around and you’re a young girl going out of my door. Where are you going, my little one, little one, Little dirndls and petticoats, where have you gone? Turn around and you’re tiny, Turn around and you’re grown, Turn around and you’re a young wife with babes of your own. Turn around, turn around, Turn around and you’re a young wife with babes of your own. ---

Riding on daddy’s shoulders off to bed Old sleepy head, that’s my boy Got to have a drink of water and a story read A teddy bear named Fred, that’s my boy What’s that you say momma Come on and keep you feet warm Well save me a place, I’ll be there in a minute or so I’ll think I’ll stay right here and say a little prayer before I go ---

The moment I wake up Before I put on my makeup I say a little prayer for you While combing my hair now, And wondering what dress to wear now, I say a little prayer for you. ---

Got up, got out of bed, Dragged a comb across my head, On my way downstairs I had a cup, And looking up, I noticed I was late. ---

Somewhere far away there’s another day And someone’s getting out of bed She puts on her face in the morning space She doesn’t know she’s dead Her ruby lips can’t excite me anymore And pain sprawls on the chair, it’s always there And he descends the stairs, he doesn’t see The sunburned landlord glares, for all the people He can never be He can never be He can never be ---

Bad girl drunk by six Kissing some kind stranger’s lips Smoked too many cigarettes today I’m not happy, I’m not happy Something’s happened and I can’t go back I fall apart every time you hand your heart out to me What happens now, I know I don’t deserve you I wonder how I’m ever gonna hurt you Can’t bring myself to let you go ---

The time for talking’s over now, I guess it’s time to let you go. But I don’t, no, I don’t mind at all. It’s getting so you never know when things are better left alone. But I don’t, no, I don’t mind at all. ---

I feel like I could run away Looking at a darker day Oh, I’m pulling the shades away from my eyes It’s true, the moody manners come and go And it’s better that you never know Some things are better left unsaid Some strings are better left undone Some hearts are better left unbroken ---

It’s a lesson too late for the learning Made of sand, made of sand. In the wink of an eye my soul is turning In your hand, in your hand. Are you going away with no word of farewell? Will there be not a trace left behind. Well, I could have loved you better. Didn’t mean to be unkind. You know, that was the last thing on my mind. You’ve got reasons a-plenty for going. This I know, this I know. For the weeds have been steadily growing. Please don’t go, please don’t go. ---

There’ll be no strings to bind your hands not if my love can bind your heart. There’s no need to take a stand for it was I who chose to start. I see no need to take me home, I’m old enough to face the dawn. Just call me angel of the morning, angel Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby. Just call me angel of the morning, angel Then slowly turn away from me. ---

You cry and moan and say it will work out But honey child I’ve got my doubts You can’t see the forest for the trees Oh don’t get me wrong It’s not that I knock it It’s just that I am not in the market For a boy who wants to love only me Yes, and I ain’t saying you ain’t pretty All I’m saying is I’m not ready For any person place or thing To try and pull the reins in on me ---

You say you’re a man And you swear that you can Be the world to me But I’ve seen the world And I can’t be the girl That I think you need. You beg me to listen to see what I’m missing You’re takin’ all “Adam and Eve” And I’m tempted to try But the problem is I Am no longer so young and naive. You look like a face in the movies Your kiss is straight out of a dream You treat me like I was a princess What in the world Is the matter with me? It’s not that I’m jaded, But love’s complicated It’s hard to see that at nineteen I hear what you’re sayin’ About having faith and You promise me You’ll never leave. And I wish I didn’t know better But I’m not so young and naive. . ---

The big bosomed lady with the Dutch accent who tried to change my point of view Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed but my heart cried out for you You’re in my heart, you’re in my soul You’ll be my breath should I grow old You are my lover, you’re my best friend You’re in my soul My love for you is immeasurable My respect for you immense You’re ageless, timeless, lace and fineness You’re beauty and elegance You’re a rhapsody, a comedy You’re a symphony and a play You’re every love song ever written But honey what do you see in me ---

You’re the top! You’re the Colosseum. You’re the top! You’re the Louvre Museum. You’re a melody from a symphony by Strauss You’re a Bendel bonnet, A Shakespeare’s sonnet, You’re Mickey Mouse. You’re the Nile, You’re the Tower of Pisa, You’re the smile on the Mona Lisa I’m a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop, But if, baby, I’m the bottom you’re the top!
