She don’t love you like I love you  
Cause if she did she wouldn’t break your heart  
She don’t love you like I love you  
She’s tryin’ to tear us apart

Please don’t take him just because you can

A clean up woman is a woman who  
Gets all the love we girls leave behind  
The reason I know so much about her  
Is because she picked up a man of mine

He sat me down to talk to me  
He looked me straight in the eyes  
He said  
You’re no son, no son of mine  
You’re no son, no son of mine  
You walked out, you left us behind  
And you’re no son, no son of mine

He came into the shop and looked me straight between the eyes  
And said “You know I’m Jesus”, and I must have looked surprised  
Because he said “Please don’t be hasty, no-one understands  
But I’ve got a way to prove it” and he lifted up his hands.

He was the man who called himself Jesus.

If God had a face, what would it look like?  
And would you want to see  
If seeing meant that you would have to believe  
In things like Heaven and in Jesus and the saints  
And all the prophets?

Dear god I see you move the mountains  
Dear god I see you moving trees  
Sometimes it’s nothing to believe in  
Sometimes it’s everything I see

Don’t believe the devil  
I don’t believe his book  
But the truth is not the same  
Without the lies he made up  
Don’t believe in excess  
Success is to give  
Don’t believe in riches  
But you should see where I live  
I, I believe in love

Hey girl, I bet you  
There’s someone out to get you  
You’ll find him anywhere  
On a bus, in a bar, in a grocery store  
He’ll say, “Excuse me  
Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?”

Met my old lover in the grocery store  
The snow was falling Christmas Eve  
I stole behind her in the frozen foods  
And I touched her on the sleeve

She didn’t recognize the face at first  
But then her eyes flew open wide  
She went to hug me, and she spilled her purse  
And we laughed until we cried

It took a while, but she looked in the mirror  
And she glanced at the license for my name  
A smile seemed to come to her slowly  
It was a sad smile, just the same

And she said, “How are you Harry?”  
I said, “How are you Sue?  
Through the too many miles and the too little smiles  
I still remember you.”

When my life is through  
And the angels ask me to recall  
The thrill of them all  
Then I shall tell them I remember you

Remember walking hand-in-hand  
Remember the night was so exciting  
Remember his smile was so inviting  
Remember then he touched my cheek  
Remember with his fingertips  
Softly, softly we’d meet with our lips

Oh, how I love the rainy days

Huh (Because I’m happy)  
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof  
(Because I’m happy)  
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth  
(Because I’m happy)  
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you  
(Because I’m happy)  
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Don’t it ever get lonesome?  
Don’t it ever give a young man the blues?  
Don’t it ever get lonesome?  
Don’t it ever make a young man wanna go back home?  
When the P.A. system eats it,  
And the band plays some of the most terrible shit you’ve ever known
