Cruella De Vil  
Cruella De Vil  
If she doesn’t scare you  
No evil thing will  
To see her is to  
Take a sudden chill  
Cruella, Cruella De Vil

Oh I can’t take another heartache  
Though you say you’re my friend, I’m at my wit’s end  
You say your love is bonafide, but that don’t coincide  
With the things that you do  
And when I ask you to be nice, you say

You’ve gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure  
Cruel to be kind, it’s a very good sign  
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you, baby  
(You’ve gotta be cruel)  
You gotta be cruel to be kind

Don’t stop thinking of me  
Don’t make me feel this way  
Come on over here and love me  
You know what I want you to say

Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true

Thinking Out Loud

When your legs don’t work like they used to before  
And I can’t sweep you off of your feet  
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love  
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks

Well, you walk into the room like a camel and then you frown  
You put your eyes in your pocket and your nose on the ground  
There ought to be a law against you comin’ around  
You should be made to wear earphones

Because something is happening here but you don’t know what it is  
Do you, Mister Jones?

Like to tell you about my baby  
You know she comes around  
About five feet four  
From her head to the ground  
She come 'round here  
She come 'round 'bout midnight  
Make me feel so good  
Make me feel alright  
And her name is  
G… L… O… R… I… A  
G L O R I A, G L O R I A  
G L O R I A, G L O R I A  
I’m gonna shout all night  
I’m gonna shout it every day

Out in the street, it’s 6 am  
Another sleepless night  
Three cups of coffee, but I can’t clear my head  
From what went down last night

I know we both have our own little ways  
But somehow we keep it together  
You hear me talk, but you don’t hear what I say  
I guess it don’t even matter

Everybody seems to think I’m lazy  
I don’t mind, I think they’re crazy  
Running everywhere at such a speed  
Till they find there’s no need (There’s no need)

Pleas, don’t spoil my day, I’m miles away  
And after all I’m only sleeping

I’m gonna soak up the sun

I’m looking up

Beach baby, beach baby, there on the sand  
From July to the end of September  
Surfin’ was fun, we’d be out in the sun every day

Do you remember  
The 21st night of September?  
Love was changin’ the minds of pretenders  
While chasin’ the clouds away  
Our hearts were ringin’  
In the key that our souls were singin’  
As we danced in the night, remember  
How the stars stole the night away

Try to remember the kind of September when life was slow and oh, so mellow  
Try to remember the kind of September when grass was green and grain was yellow  
Try to remember the kind of September when you were a tender and callow fellow  
Try to remember and if you remember then follow

That night we fell in love  
Beneath the stars above  
That was a lovely summer night

Well I’ve been thinking 'bout  
All the places we’ve surfed and danced and  
All the faces we’ve missed so let’s get  
Back together and do it again
