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.
Touch me in the morning then just walk away
We don’t have tomorrow but we had yesterday
Hey, wasn’t it me who said that nothing good’s gonna last forever?
And wasn’t it me who said let’s just be glad for the time together?
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.
.
You’ve got your mama’s style but you’re yesterday’s child to me
So Jaded
You think that’s where it’s at but is that where it’s sposed to be?
You’re gettin’ it all over me
x-rated
My, my, baby blue
(Yeah I’ve been think’n 'bout you)
My, my, baby blue
Yeah, you’re so Jaded
And I’m the one that Jaded you
All I need
Is just a little more time
To be sure what I feel
Isn’t all in my mind.
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
Did you ever know that you’re my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
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!
