Nikka Costa Album

Everyone can see
There's a change in me
The all say I'm not the same
Kid I used to be

Don't go out and play
I'll just dream all day
They don't know what's wrong with me
And I'm too shy to say

It's my first love
What I'm dreaming of
When I go to bed
When I lay my head upon my pillow
Don't know what to do

My First love
He thinks that I'm too young
He doesn't even know
Wish that I could show him what I'm feeling
Coz I'm feeling my first love

Mirror on the wall
Does he care at all
Will he ever notice me
Could he ever fall

Tell me Teddy Bear
Why love is so unfair?
Will I ever find a way

I believe in fairy tales
Dreams can all come true
I believe in fairy tales
I believe in love and you
I've been warned
I've been told
I'm too young
You're too oid
I don't care
It's o.k.
Tell me lies
Anyway

CHORUS:
Cause I believe in fairytales
Tell me that you love me too
Sugar and spice and ev'rything nice
Promise me a sky of blue
Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
My heart jumped over the moon
And I believe in fairy tales
I believe in love and you

I believe in fairy tales
I believe in love and you

In my dreams late al night
You're the one who holds me tight
Maybe soon, but not too long
Lovin' you won't be so wrong
(Repeat Chorus)

I believe in love
I believe in fairy tales
Dreams can all come true

Let life toss me around
I'll fall with both feet on the ground
And smile though my whole world
is upside down

I'll win each race I start
I'll fight the strongest heart
I'll shine and light the dark
But there's no way
My day could start

Without you
I wouldn't have someone to guide me
I wouldn't have someone beside me
To hide me when troubles make me blue

Without you
Just who would put the sunshine in my life
Who dry the tears that fall from my eyes
I know I could never make it true
Without you

Without you it will be me
My heart could be a lonely place
And dreams would not mean anything to me
But you lit up my night
You gave me wings to fly
Now I can touch the stars

My Boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)

So look out now 'cause my boyfriend's back
And I can see him comin'
So you better start a-runnin'

A brand new day
What's in store for us
We can't say
Happiness and problems too
Gray dark clouds
Sunny skies so blue

Morning comes
The night is done
Day breaks slowly for
Everyone
Midnight fears
And those midnight tears
Melt away
They just disappear

BRIDGE:
Tomorrow can't be worse
Than yesterday
Only better in a
Different way
Up high above
The morning sun is shining down
Whatever comes around
One smile is worth two frowns

Morning comes
And you are there
A shining prince
Qn a snow-white mare
Life's not easy but
It's all right
Together we'll reach the
Highest heights
(Instrumental)

Tomorrow can't be worse than
Yesterday
Just a little bit better in a
Dif-fer-ent way
Up high above
The morning sun is shinin' down
Whatever comes around
A smile can still be found

Morning comes
A brand new day
What's in store for us
We can't say
We may walk and we may have lo run
But morning comes for me and ev-ryone

He's the boy
That everybody's puttin' down
He dresses up like circuses
And paints the town
He puts on funny faces
Just to catch my eye
No one understands
Why I like this crazy guy

He's My Clown
(He's so stupid baby
What's with cupid
Can't you see it?)

He's My Clown
(Played it smart until
He got your heart
Now he will break it!)

He's My Clown
(He's so cool girl now that
You're his fool girl
Won't you wake up?)

He's My Clown
(His best buddy says that
He is nutty
Dontcha let him in!)

Go ahead and laugh
At all the clothes he wears
Long as we're together
Well, I just don't care
He says one day Baby
We'll take off and fly
Merry-go-rounds, ferris wheels
And rolly coaster rides

He's My Clown
(He's so icky
You should be more picky
You need glasses)

He's My Clown
(He's outrageous Baby
It's contageous
Don't you catch it!)

He's My Clown
(Watch it honey
I will bet you money
He wihl hurt you)

He's My Clown
(He is trouble
Get out on the double
Don't you be a fool!)

You think it's tragic
I think he's magic
He makes every day a happy carnival
Life is a circus
Nothin' can hurt us
We'll turn every frown we see
Into a smile
And if I'm dreamin'
Don't wake me now

OOOO he's so special
From his head down to his toes
He finds ways of havin' fun
Nobody knows
When he talks and he laughs
His whole face lights right up
You're just jealous
So please keep your big mouth shut

He's A Clown
(You wouldn't know one
Even if you saw one
Neh Neh Neh Neh)

He's A Clown
(Sticks & stones can always
Break his bones but
Words can't hurt him)

He's A Clown
(You're just jealous
You know you can't have him
Ha Ha Ha Ha)

He's A Clown
(You don't like him
But you'd like one like him
Leave the boy alone)

He's A Clown

Six in the morning
I hear you go
You've got a plane to catch
You told me so
Flying to new york
Then on to rome
Sometimes it seems as if
The world's your home
Well, I understand
You're a busy man
But, listen while I sing these words
(chorus)
Stay, daddy stay
Please stay, daddy, stay
I won't let you leave today
So stay, please daddy stay
Once day I'm certain
You'll take me along
To hear you play guitar
And sing your songs
Until that moment
I must be good
And try to be patient
Gee, I whish I could
Before you try say goodbye
Listen while I sing these words
(repeat chorus)
Stay, daddy, stay
Please stay, daddy stay
I won't let you leave today, no way
So stay, please daddy, stay

Sometimes you lift me up
And then sometimes you bring me down
I wonder what you're gonna do
Each time I turn my back around
You're either devil or an angel
A Jekyll or a Hyde
Trick or treat
Bitter or sweet
The day that we first met
I didn't know what to expect
And so I feel in love whit you
And now my mind is just a wreck
Depending on the mood you're in
You're either good or you're bad
Trick or treat
Bitter or sweet
Tell me why you're foolin' with my mind
I'm either way up front or a far behind
It's up or it's down
And I love being 'round
When it's high up in the sky
But when it's low you bring me down
And I don't know what's going on
I don't want changes from a boy that I just can't depend upon
You either love me or you don't
You either will or you won't
Trick or treat
Bitter or sweet
Tell me why you're foolin' with my mind
I'm either way up front or far behind
It's up or it's down
And I love being 'round
When it's high up in the sky
But when it's low you bring me down
And I don't know what's going on
I don't want changes from a boy that I just can't depend upon
You either love me or you don't
You either will or you won't
Trick or treat
Bitter or sweet
Trick or treat

Time my friends
Can do so many things
It can change the skies
From gray to blue
If you believe in time
Love will come to you
Because you see
It's happening to me

CHORUS:
So I need you to know
That I know what I'm after
Nothing but "Time on my side"
And you'll see in a while
That tears turn fo laughter in time

Friends like us
Can weather any storm
We'll be stronger
Just you wait and see
If you believe in time
Love comes back to you
Please believe
Cause I believe in you

CHORUS:
So I need you to know
That I know what I'm after
Nothing but "Time on my side"
And you'll see in a while
That tears turn to laughter in time
And "Time is on my side"

Nothing but "Time on my side"
And you'll see in a while
That tears turn to laughter in time
And "Time is on my side"
Nothing but "Time on my side"
And you'll see in a while
That tears turn to laughter in time

Can'tneverdidnothin'
And neither did couldn't
Never did nobody no good
You better plant in your garden
And make sure you water it like you should

Time has spoiled you rotten
And you done forgotten
Why you been put here
Can'tneverdidnothin'
And neither did couldn't
But make your dreams disappear

Blaming everybody who dealt your hand
But you're keepin' your head in the sand
You should be sweatin while you sit at home
Looking under your bed for your backbone
Instead you ridin' bitch till the tables turn
Till you get your check
Till your luck returns
How are you expecting to find your way
With shoulda woulda coulda coming out your face

Can'tneverdidnothin'
And neither did couldn't
Never did nobody no good
You better plant in your garden
And make sure you water it like you should

Time has spoiled you rotten
And you done forgotten
Why you been put here
Can'tneverdidnothin'
And neither did couldn't
But make your dreams disappear

You keep ridin' your bike in a cul-de-sac
Think you're getting somewhere ridin' piggyback
But you're only gettin' out what you're puttin' in
So stick your neck out take it on the chin
'Cause there's a whole lotta nothin' goin' on for too long
'Cause the time isn't right
'Cause it feels all wrong
Wishin' like a baby you could just get on

Star light
Star bright
First star that I see
I'll make a wish tonight
Hope I find someone
Who needs me

Toss a coin
Into the well
Make a wish and promise...
Not to tell
Till I find someone
Who needs me

I'm hoping
I'm praying
That you are searching too
When you are lost
I will find you Baby
When I am tossed
Upside down
Oh baby
You'll take my hand
Turn me around
Now who says that
Dreams can't come true

Lucky charms
Magic spells
I'll believe in dreams
And fairy tales
Till I find someone
Who needs me

I'm hoping
I'm praying
That you are searching too
When you are lost
I will find yen Baby
When I am tossed
Upside down
Oh Baby
You'll take my hand
Turn me around
New who says that
Dreams can't come true
Some day they'll happen
To me and to you

Star light
Star bright
First star that I see
I'll make a wish tonight
Hope I find someone

The sun'll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be sun
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs
And the sorrow
Till there's none

When I'm stuck with a day that's gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin and grin and say...oh

The sun'll come out tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on till tomorrow
Come what may

Tomorrow
Tomorrow
I love ya
Tomorrow
You're always a day a-way

(Repeat)

Tomorrow
Tomorrow
I love ya
Tomorrow
You're always a day a-way

Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Just hinkin' about
The sun comin' out
