Title
- So many people gonna say that they want you,
- To try to get you thinking they really care,
- But there's nothing like the warmth of the one
- who has put in the time and you know he's gonna be there,
- Back your border when she knows someone crossed it,
- Don't let nobody put you down, who your with
- Take the pain of protecting your name,
- from the crutch to the cane to the highwire
- [Chorus:]
- I'm in love with a girl who knows me better,
- Fell for the women just when i met her,
- Took my sweet time when i was bitter,
- Someone understands,
- And she knows how to treat a fella right,
- Give me that feeling every night,
- Wants to make love when i wanna fight,
- Now someone understand me,
- I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with)[x2]
- Out the many broken backdoors and windows,
- Through the valley of the love of the lost,
- Is a hole that is cut through the souls falling down
- from the thrones without leaving any windows,
- But you drown in a piece for the moment,
- The moment was over in time,
- Then its gone the hit and run the tactless one has a short life
- I'm in love with a girl who knows me better,
- Fell for the women just when i met her,
- Took my sweet time when i was bitter,
- Someone understands,
- And she knows how to treat a fella right,
- Give me that feeling every night,
- Wants to make love when i wanna fight,
- Now someone understand me,
- I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with)[x2]
- Gonna tell you what you do to think you practice what you preach,
- Now i know there's nothing we cant preach,
- 'cause the heart can't erase once it finds a place to be warm and welcome,
- To be held in shelter
- [Chorus:]
- I'm in love with a girl who knows me better,
- Fell for the women just when i met her
- Took my sweet time when i was bitter
- Someone understands,
- And she knows how to treat a fella right
- Give me that feeling every night
- Wants to make love when i wanna fight
- Now someone understands me
- I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with)[x3]
- Who knows me better
- Wants to make love when i wanna fight
- now someone understand me

- Listen up destiny
- I know you want to get pressed to me
- So don't be such a stone
- When I call you on the phone
- Or I won't be using that number again
- Maybe what you had was broke
- You want to get high and they don't
- So I had a drink
- 'Cause it helped me think
- Now you say I've been drinking too much
- But my hands start shaking
- And my heart starts quaking
- Like a nightmare naked in school
- And I want to tell you
- [Chorus]
- Wait a minute sister
- I know I ain't your mister yet
- Just give me a chance and see
- But you won't even get next to me
- What you want to do now
- You're gonna have to give somehow
- And I've got that thing you need
- But you won't even get next to me
- Once I get you in my grip
- Follow my eyes to your hips
- Don't you pull away
- You've done it every day
- Just stay
- Why don't you stay
- Why don't you stay baby
- Put away your old disguise
- You don't want no other guys
- We're having so much fun
- I know you shouldn't run
- But you run, you just run
- You just run baby
- [Chorus]
- Me here
- Heart in hand
- Offering
- What I can
- Patience
- Running thin
- Come on girl
- Let me in
- [Chorus]
- I'm love-sick somewhere tonight
- I'm love-sick somewhere tonight
- I don't need writing on the wall
- I've felt it for so long
- Am I even on your mind
- Or are you now in...
- [Chorus]
- Someone else's eyes
- Someone else's arms
- Someone else's obvious moves
- I'm a jealous guy
- I hear people talk
- And it isn't hard to believe
- I think you cheated on me
- I've been this love-sick before
- I've felt just like this before
- There was another just like you
- I loved her for so long
- But I had poison on my mind
- And I drove her into...
- [Chorus]
- Someone else's eyes
- Someone else's arms
- Someone else's obvious moves
- I'm a jealous guy
- I hear people talk
- And it isn't hard to believe
- I think she cheated on me
- [Bridge]
- I said I've had this sense before
- But I left an open door
- For this to walk into my life
- And maybe I suspect too much
- But it's just hard for me to trust
- When I'm all wound up inside
- I just drive you off and into...
- [Chorus]
- Someone else's eyes
- Someone else's arms
- Someone else's obvious moves
- I'm a jealous guy
- I hear people talk
- And it isn't hard to believe
- I was never easy to please
- And I think you cheated on me
- Whenever I see you I need more
- And I want you to stay 'til the end
- One look at that smile and I'm all yours
- Will you just smile at me again
- [Chorus]
- I have you to thank for making me so
- So hard to please because you treated me so
- Good that no one else could hold your make-up
- Because of you girl I never want to break up
- The difference I'm feeling in my heart
- Is the difference of loving or not
- And under the stars and moon and sun
- Is the perfect becoming of one
- [Chorus]
- [Bridge]
- If I told you that I loved like an ace
- Then I'd be lying 'cause I've made some mistakes
- But I'm trying with perfect faith
- When I let you in
- I began to win
- And now I'm just all gold
- After all I've done
- And the road I've run
- I want to thank you
- I want to thank you
- [Chorus]
- All I do when I think about it
- Is thank you baby
- Thank you baby
- All I do when I think about it
- Is thank you baby
- I just want to thank you baby
- I just want to
- Thank you
- When your feathers are soaked
- And your eyes are too bloody to see
- And you've pulled every punch that you had
- But there's one that you need
- Then you've waited too long
- There's a hole in your heart
- And all you've become
- is emotionally over-run
- [Chorus]
- Wishing wells were made to echo a dime
- The consequences are you keep on relying
- You've become a run and hide refugee
- Baby I'm a Cop Stop!
- Put up your hands and surrender to me
- You're gonne get hooked
- If there's anything left I can do
- You're already disarmed
- It's your lasting alarm I pursue
- You can loosen those fists
- Come on blow me a kiss
- You've been roughed up enough
- To deserve some relief from your troubles
- So I'm coming in
- [Chorus]
- Otherwise
- I would never tell you what to do despite
- Any indecision though I know I'm right
- Arguing was always my forte
- But one thing I can say is
- I won't tell you lies
- Or treat you like a rental car like other guys
- And if you think I'm crazy find an alibi
- But you will need some evidence to show
- [Chorus]
- There's no need to beg babe
- That's my open pocket
- You take the money from me
- I can scrounge
- Gave me a fever that will not come down
- Oh babe!
- You're a young woman cast aside
- Ostracized
- Left on the sidewalk of my lonely life
- [Chorus]
- For the young lovers
- Taking the hill
- One plants a flag
- While the other is killed
- When the wine pours
- We raise our cups
- Young love is sacrifice
- Young love is tough
- Young love is innocent
- Young love is us
- What did I get into
- Now everything is untrue
- Oh, your eyes tell the lies
- Of the lines that you said
- And now that I love you
- Oh, I wish we'd never met
- Why wait?
- Woman I'm taking risks here
- That no one dared
- And you're scared
- Scared of the bottom
- Afraid of the stairs
- [Chorus]
- Someone
- I saw someone
- And fell in love with a face
- And it scares me to let her go
- Still want her even though
- I get less than she takes
- [Chorus]
- Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs"
- Then you say, "give 'em some"
- Are you the victim
- Of this experience
- Child experiment
- Teacher's predicament?
- You're in THE SYSTEM
- And if you don't walk the line
- You can walk the plank
- Your older brother (government)
- Wants to control your mind
- You're more useful blank
- [Pre-chorus]
- Medicate the kids
- Feathers turn to quills
- Pump 'em full of training fluids
- Powders and pills
- There's nothing you can't flush out
- And nothing you can't kill
- [Chorus]
- Why don't you just back off of us
- Before we go crazy?
- I'm gonna tell you,
- This ain't fair play,
- Just don't medicate me"
- Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs"
- Unless you get 'em from
- Someone who loves you
- One who knows best for you
- Paid for those tests for you
- Knows how to get you through
- When it's above you
- And you can't get on top
- Cause it's high to climb,
- You hear them saying,
- Every other time
- [Pre-chorus]
- [Chorus]
- [Bridge]
- And there's a long line
- Flowing from prescription aisles
- Filed through legal means
- So we can alter the child
- For his protection
- Tie him to extension cords,
- This is the age of discipline
- [Chorus]
- A flashlight
- Isn't quite sunlight
- But any light at all seems bright
- When you're looking in the dark
- A wet-dream
- Isn't the real thing
- It isn't really anything
- But at least it makes a spark
- And all is relative
- Eveything is relative
- Yes, it is
- [Chorus]
- It's all about
- The way we receive it
- How much we believe it
- Depending on the life you lead
- If you lead it
- Compare it to yourself
- Compared to someone else
- You care
- And if you took
- The threads in your closet
- The cash in your wallet
- The color of the skin in your blood
- And how you got it
- Compare it to yourself
- Compared to someone else
- You care
- Pre-made
- Isn't quite homemade
- But pre-made with a home name
- Is almost just the same
- Your girlfriend
- Isn't your best friend
- But any friend is best when
- You're freezing in the rain
- And all is relative
- Everything is relative
- You're either underweight or you're unfit
- Overdressed or underzipped
- Too social or you're just too shy
- Too depressed or you're too high
- As night to day and day to night
- Rich and poor and black and white
- All is relative
- Everything's relative
- All is relative...
- [Chorus]
- This ain't the kind of affair to make you dance about
- But there's something to say for the things
- You wouldn't regularly let out
- At least this chase makes you feel new
- [Chorus]
- She holds a key
- Tight in her hand
- Clutching his neck
- She is breaking the man
- Listen you sinner
- I'm sinning too
- Just wait until the darkness falls
- So I can sin with you
- You've run through the whole gamut of gameplay
- The head-trip parade
- Without any experience
- You've become curious prey
- So change your position
- This decision you're making
- Is digging a hole
- Oh, and where you're headed
- Only heaven knows
- [Chorus]
- So set out your plans
- Break down your walls
- Count what you're blessed with
- You've counted them all
- There's something to save
- But you have to search
- You might not believe
- But, believe me, it works,
- Believe me it works, yes it does
- [Chorus]
- She holds a key
- Tight in her hand
- Clutching his neck
- She is breaking the man
- Listen you sinner
- I'm sinning too
- Just wait until the darkness falls
- So I can sin with you
- The letters you wrote me had hollow-point headers
- If you think you've got it like that
- Find somebody better
- You said I need fixing
- You numbered the stages
- But I won't be living in one of your cages
- Open your mind and understand...
- [Chorus]
- When you're hard on me
- It's not what I need
- We were meant to be untamed
- Up on my feet
- Born to run free
- And there's nobody taming me
- I've outgrown the narrow, protective container
- Designed to be opened
- With your childish behavior
- 'Cause you're not the critic of personal purpose
- And I'm just not willing to do community service
- I don't know why you lay it on...
- [Chorus]
- [Bridge]
- You say - that I should lend a shoulder
- Right now - 'cause your whole world is blowing up
- Go ahead but I won't be your soldier
- 'Cause you're the one who started up
- You're the one who started up...
- [Chorus]
- I can't live without you
- Set my goals around you
- Takes a little extra time
- But it all works out
- You're a shining ember
- I'll be shining armor
- Just look up into my eyes
- I won't let you down
- And I'll always be here
- Yes, I'll always be here
- [Chorus]
- Let it go
- Settle into me
- Let it go
- Let it all go
- Except for me
- I'm the one you found
- Just hold on
- Hold onto me now
- Why don't we play hooky?
- We could both get lucky
- Better to get lucky than to go to work today
- We don't have to shower
- You won't wait in traffic
- Take our daily panic and we'll put it all away
- And we'll always be near
- We should always be near
- [Chorus]
- Don't you know you're the one for me
- After all, anyone can see
- We belong together
- like the open seas and shores
- wedded by the planet force
- we've all been spoken for
- [VERSE 1:]
- The hammer may strike, be dead on the ground.
- a net to my hand, a cross on his crown.
- we're done if, who we're undone,
- finished if who we are incomplete.
- as one we are everything,
- we are everything we need.
- [CHORUS:]
- we belong together
- like the open seas and shores
- wedded by the planet force
- we've all been spoken for
- [VERSE 2:]
- What good is a life, with no one to share,
- the light of the moon, the honor of a swear.
- we can try to live the way in which you speak,
- taste the milk of your mother earth's love,
- spread the word of consciencness you see,
- we are everything we need
- [CHORUS]
- We belong together
- like the open seas and shores
- wedded by the planet force
- we've all been spoken for
- All this indecision
- all this independent strength
- still
- we've got our hearts on safe
- we've got our hearts on safe
- someday when you're lonley,
- sometime after all this bliss,
- somewhere lost in emptiness,
- I hope you find this gift...
- I hope you find this gift..
- I hope you find this gift.
