You're much too young
To be a part of me
Too young
To get a hold on me

You're much too young
You're much too young
You're much too young
To mess around with me

Hey
You know I've met a lot of cool chicks
But I've never met a girl with all her own teeth
That's why I love you babe
That's why we could be
But you're too young
Too young

The past doesn't matter (12x)

Hey
Sophisticated lady
You know I've met a lot of cool chicks
But you've got style
You've got class
But most of all
You've got love technique.


. . .


It doesn't take a genius
To tell me what I am
Or lecture me with poetry
And tell me that I can
I don't remember
What happened yesterday
But I don't give a damn about
What all those people say

It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone

It don't take no Houdini
To tell me what I am
Parasites and literasites
They'd burn me if they can
But I don't give a damn about
What those people say
They pick you up and kick you out
They hurt you every day

It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone

It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone

There was a time I call before
When all I knew was what I saw
The keeper of a major key
I lived in a town called Liberty.
I worked hard to give you all the things that you need
And almost anything that you see
I spent a lifetime working on you
And you won't even talk to me.

Can't you see why don't you look at me
It's not your right to be so much my enemy.

I knew that I could never give
You knew that you could not forgive
No price or pride would fall before
A ten foot wall without a door.

But you know I watch every step that you make
To find some other fool you can take
And I don't know why I even try
Because it all comes down to this.

Can't you see why don't you look at me
It's not your right to be so much my enemy.

Can't you see why don't you look at me
It's not your right to be so much my enemy.

I worked hard to give you all the things that you need
And almost anything that you see
I spent a lifetime working on you

. . .


I just can't help thinking
What you've done to me
You built a wall of love and tore it right down
In front of me
And you think you know what's going on
You keep telling me that I am wrong
I don't care about what you do
'Cause if you mess with me I'll get rid of you

The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child

You think I am crazy, but what can I do
You waste your time, like my money
It ain't so funny, but it's true
(Don't waste my money, baby)
Now you can't tell me what's going on
And that I am weak while you are strong
What is it you need, that makes your heart bleed
Do you really know? 'Cause it doesn't show

The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child

The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child


. . .


Listen to me, I know what I'm saying
But Lord it don't come easy
To admit that I was wrong
It took me far too long

I counted on you to give me a reason
Why the Sun don't shine in the season
Grey sky surrounded me

I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from no other
You're not being cool with me
'Cause I always know that you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me
'Cause I always know what it takes to make you my lover

You once said to me that I was a cruel man
And you know that I almost believed you
I was blind and I couldn't see
You took my sight from me

And all of these words and all this emotion
Can't explain my hopeless devotion
Or change what had to be

I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from no other
You're not being cool with me
'Cause I always know that you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me

(instrumental)

I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from no other
You're not being cool with me
'Cause I always know that you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me
Yes, you'll come back to me

I'm not some kind of foolish lover
I couldn't take this from no other
It's no good being cool with me
'Cause I always know what it takes to make you my lover

. . .


Answer me
Why won't you answer me
I can't recall the day that I last heard from you
Well you don't get a town like this for nothing
So here's what you've got to do
You work your way to the top of the world
Then you break your life in twobr

Well what's the use in complaining
When you've got what you don't need
Anyone would think you were hardened too
What do you want me to believebr

What the hell is happening
I can't think of everything
I don't know what day it is
Or who I'm talking tobr

But I know that I'm ok
'Cause you're here with me today
I haven't got a single problem
Now that I'm with youbr

So what's the use in complaining
When you've got everything you need
Anyone would think you were hardened too
What do you want me to believe

. . .



How can I ever forget you
You don't know just what I've been through
The holiday we spent together
Lives with me now and forever.
I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do
I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do.

I can't find my piece of mind
Because I need you with me all of the time
I used to think about you night and day
I used to feel what language cannot say
Oh I can't find you
No I can't find my piece of mind without you.

Maybe you'd write me a letter
And tell me why I never met you
Our rendezvous just ended in sorrow
Without you there's no tomorrow.

I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do
I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do.

I can't find my piece of mind
Because I need you with me all of the time
I used to think about you night and day
I didn't care what other people would say
Oh I can't find you
No I can't find my piece of mind without you.
I can't find my piece of mind
Because I need you with me all of the time
I used to think about you night and day
I used to feel what language cannot say
Oh I can't find you
No I can't find my piece of mind without you.

Ibiza, Majorca, and Benidorm too

. . .


Grow up children, don't you suffer
At the hands of one another
If you like a sleeping demon
Listen can you hear him weeping
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow
He buys love to sell tomorrow

My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what a man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too

Feel your heartbeat lose the rhythm
He can't touch the world we live in
Life is short but love is strong
There lies a hope that I have found
And if you try you'll find it too
Remember why I'm telling you

My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what a man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too

And they gave him away
Like in 'Whistle Down The Wind'
By the look on his face
He never gave in


. . .



Nothing in this world
Can touch the music that I heard
When I woke up this morning
It put the sun into my life
It cut my heartbeat with a knife
It was like no other morning.
I don't belong to no one
But I want to be with you
I can't be owned by no one
What am I supposed to do.

I can't see the sense in your leaving
All I need is your love to believe in.

Don't look into the sun
It's not for me or anyone
To steal the light out of the sky
Is it really such a sin
Cause if it is then I'll give in
I can't live without your love.

I don't belong to no one
But I want to be with you
I can't be owned by no one
What am I supposed to do.

I can't see the sense in your leaving
All I need is your love to believe in
And for you I would do what I can
