He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
Every move you make,
Every breath you take,
I’ll be watching you…
Stop it! Stop it! Don’t you say a word
I feel my hands around her neck and everything went blurred
Broken, broken, she slipped from out my hands
She lay so still and lifeless, I cried baby, baby, baby
How could you say there was no other, why is it nothing’s what it seems
You told me I’m your greatest lover, do you even know what that word means
Your lovin’ is coolin’, baby who ya think you’re foolin’
‘cause when I woke up I caught you cheatin’ in your dreams
Stop! In the name of love,
Before you break my heart.
Think it over,
Think it over.
Your love is like a tidal wave, spinning over my head
Drownin’ me in your promises, better left unsaid
You’re the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be
You’re a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don’t you mess around with me
You’re a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don’t you mess around, no, no, no
One of these days he’ll find a girl
Who knows all about him
She’s gonna break his carefree heart
And go on without him
And you’ll hear thereafter
Above all the laughter
Tough luck for the cheater
Who do you think you are?
Runnin’ round leaving scars,
Collecting your jar of hearts,
Tearing love apart…
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
It’s like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
Indiana, that’s where I’m going
This time of year you know how I feel
Indiana, that’s where I’m going
Where Christmas will always be real
Back home again in Indiana,
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight still shining bright
Through the sycamores for me.
I hope this letter finds its way to you
Forgive me love for the shame I’ve put you through and all the tears
Hang on love to the memories of those happy years
Red lights are flashing around me, good Lord, it looks like they found me
Indiana wants me, Lord, I can’t go back there
Indiana wants me, Lord, I can’t go back there
I wish I had you to talk to
If you’d like to have a logical explanation
How I happened on this elegant syncopation,
I will say without a moment of hesitation
There is just one place
That can light my face.
Gary, Indiana
Christmas in Indianapolis, that’s where I want to be,
Lights around the Circle, and lights upon the tree
When the crowds abound on the holidays
And you feel like throwing a fit.
You can merrily watch them light the tree
If you’re already lit.
All day long I hear people talking out loud,
When I hear your voice it drowns out the crowd,
Old Mr. Webster could never define what’s being said between your heart and mine…
It’s Christmas time in Hollis queens
Mom’s cooking chicken and collard greens
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
And Santa put gifts under Christmas trees
Sometimes you picture me–
I’m walking too far ahead
You’re calling to me, I can’t hear
What you’ve said–
Then you say–go slow–
I fall behind–
The second hand unwinds
If you’re lost you can look–and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you–I’ll be waiting
Time after time
Fate looks certain but there’s nothing guaranteed
Want for nothing, but is nothing what you need?
Always pushing but you’re never satisfied
I did believe you 'til I found out that you lied
Time and time again
Time and time again, again
You must remember this,
A kiss is still a kiss,
On that you can rely,
A fundamental thing applies,
As time goes by…
