cried all night till there was nothin more
what use am i as a heap on the floor
heaving devotion but its just no good
taking it hard just like you knew i would

oh heavens die hard when you got when you got a sentimental heart
piece of the puzzle and youre my missing part
oh what can you do with a sentimental heart!

cried all night till there was nothing more
what use am i as a heap on the floor
heaving devotion but its just no good
taken at heart just like you knew i would

oh heavens die hard
when you got, when you got a sentimental heart
piece of the puzzle and you're a missing part
oh what can you do with a sentimental heart x3

Why do you let me stay here
All by myself?

Why don't you come and play here?
I'm just sitting on the shelf

Why don't you sit right down and stay a while?
We like the same things and I like your style

It's not a secret
Why do you keep it?
I'm just sitting on the shelf

I've gotta get your presents
Let's make it known
I think you're just so pleasant
I would like you for my own

Why don't you sit right down and make me smile?
You make me feel like I am just a child

Why do you edit?
Just give me credit
I'm just sitting on the shelf

Doo doo doo doo!....

. . .


For those of you who tried but didn't make it
Settle down, it's never what you think

The summit doesn't differ from the big, dark valley
And the valley doesn't differ from the kitchen sink

For those of who you thought you'd be forgotten
The friends you've made will try their best to make it so
Think of all the beauty that you've left behind you

You can take it if you want it
And then let it go

And this is not a test
No, this is not a test
Takin' numbers never made sense anyways

No this is not a test
No this is not a test
'Cause you can have it if you want it anyways

For those of us who try to keep remembering
Try to do our better-than-our-best
Think of all the children and the drifts of snow

Winners never quit, but winters never ask(?)

And this is not a test
No this is not a test
Takin' numbers never made sense anyways

No this is not a test
No this is not a test
'Cause you can have it if you want it anyways

No this is not a test
No this is not a test
Takin' numbers never made sense anyways

im all outta luck but what else could i be
i know hes yours and he'll never belong to me again
i did him wrong
so dont brag
keep it to yourself
i did him wrong
i was never no iwas never no i was never lost
but i can try i can try to toughen up
i listened when they told me
if you burned your little boat
change is hard, i should know
i should know!
i should know.

so i'll keep my head down
if you keep it quiet from now on
in the house id rather hear silence than the bell of new love
so dont brag
keep it to yourself
i did him wrong
i was never no i was never no i was never enough
but i can try, i can try to toughen up
I listened when they told me
if you burned your little boat
change is hard i should know
i should know
i should know
i should know

. . .


I thought I saw your face today
But I just turned my head away
Your face against the trees
But I just see the memories
As they come
As they come
And I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again

I saw it glitter as I grew
And loved a boy I never knew
I thought this place was heaven-sent
But now it's just a monument
In my mind
In my mind
And I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again

In the cars and freeways, and poor-me Tuesday
Away out of this place
My mother said, 'just keep your head and play it as it lays."

In the cars and freeways, and poor-me Tuesday
Away out of this place
My mother said, 'just keep your head and play it as it lays."

I somehow see what's beautiful
In things that are ephemeral
I'm my only friend of mine
and love is just a piece of time
In the world
In the world
And I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again
No, I couldn't help but fall in love again

. . .


Take it back
Oh, take it back

I don't want your lovin' anymore
Let me live, oh let me live
It's not you who I sing for

So don't sit next to me
Sit by yourself

I don't wanna wonder whether you love me
I don't wanna wonder whether you care

So don't try to woo me
Don't try to fool me

Oh, I know all of your tricks

It's the possibility of stayin' in my corner


I don't wanna wonder whether you love me
I don't wanna wonder whether you care

So don't try to woo me
Don't try to fool me

Oh, I know all of your tricks

It's the possibility of stayin' in my corner

. . .


I was takin' a walk
When I saw you pass by

I thought I saw you lookin' my way
So I thought I'd give you a try

When I saw you smile
I saw a dream come true
So I asked you, maybe, baby whatcha gonna do?

'Cause I have been waitin' for a long long time
For a boy like you

I won't be waitin' anymore cause I know:

Baby! Baby!
I was made for you

I was takin' a walk
When I saw you pass by

I thought I saw you lookin' my way
So I thought I'd give you a try

When I saw you smile
I saw a dream come true
So I asked you, maybe, baby whatcha gonna do?

'Cause I have been waitin' for a long long time
For a boy like you

I won't be waitin' anymore cause I know:

Baby! Baby!
I was made for you

I was made for you
I was made for you
Yeah, I was made for you

I was made for you...

My eyes are
So bleary
I guess I'm young, but I feel so weary

I've tried to express it, but I think it's all (a bore?)
It's at the heart of me
A very part of me

Speak slowly, I can't hear you
My mind keeps spinning closer and closer
To the rain on the roof
And the rain in my head
And the things that you said
Keep on taking further ahead

And it just gets so foggy
It's nowhere in here
And it's everywhere else
That I don't want to be

But I'm stuck here
Getting misty over you
I'm alone, on a bicycle for two.

Speak slowly, I can't hear you
My mind keeps spinning closer and closer
To the rain on the roof
And the rain in my head
And the things that you said
Keep on taking further ahead

And it just gets so foggy
It's nowhere in here
And it's everywhere else
That I don't want to be

But I'm stuck here
Getting misty over you
I'm alone, on a bicycle for two.

Saw your face
My hand you took
Just like in a storybook

And you got me
Yeah, you got me

I can't even argue
Couldn't, cause it's true

Now you got me
Yeah, you got me

Got me tucked up in your pocket
Don't know how you won my heart
Cause I'd locked it

Yeah, I'd locked it

I can't feel your heartbeat
Where I lay my head

Cause you got me
Yeah, you got me

I can't feel your heartbeat
Where I lay my head

Cause you got me
Yeah, you got me

Got me tucked up in your pocket
Don't know how you won my heart
Cause I'd locked it

Yeah, I'd locked it

Ooh Mhmm....

. . .


I should have known better with a guy like you
That I would love everything that you do, and I do

Hey hey hey, and I do

Whoa-whoa, I never realized what a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see?

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too

Oh oh, and when I ask you to be mine, I hope(?)
You're gonna say you love me too

Whoa-whoa, I, never realized what a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can't you see, cant' you see?

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too

Oh, and when I ask you to be mine, I hope
You're gonna say you love me too

You love me too...

. . .


When I was a little bit younger
The strain of the thunder could make me cry

Now I'm a little but older, a little bit bolder
But never so shy

Sweet darlin', come hold me
Just a little bit longer now

Sweet darlin', come hold me
Just a little bit longer now

When things were a little bit clearer, when we got nearer I shrugged from your touch
Now that I know what I want, see
I think that it haunts me, I want you too much

Sweet darlin', come hold me
Just a little bit longer now

Sweet darlin', come hold me
Just a little bit longer now

Sweet darlin', come hold me
Just a little bit longer now....

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

I looked over Jordan
And what did I see,
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels
Coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
