There I go again I'm losing my head
You in the lead and me being led
Playing little girl lost, led by the nose by you
Do I feel late for two

Me oh my you chose little old me
To shower with love and sympathy
To have and to hold for as long as you decide
A false false pride

Lost girls can't find their way back
Boy it's hot time for payback
I'm gonna need them
I'm tired of being your plaything
Seeing everything your way

She put him through it
How could she do it
He won't forget it
She were to regret it

Flying solo..

Lost girls can't find their way back
Boy it's hot time for payback
I'm gonna need them
I'm tired of being your plaything
Seeing everything your way

So baby here I am
I'm falling from grace
A table for two, a smile on my face
I raise my glass high, drink to the plans you lay
And the role I'll never play
The role I'll never play
The role I'll never play

. . .


I'm wild again
Beguiled again
A whimpering, simpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

I couldn't sleep
And wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

I lost my heart
But what of it?
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me

I'll sing to him
Each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

I lost my heart
But what of it?
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me

I'll sing to him
Each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

. . .


Do nothing till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream
Is over my head

Do nothing till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance

True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart, the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memories
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will

True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart, the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memories
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will
Oh please do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will

. . .


If you need somebody
Call my name
If you want someone
You can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You've got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free

If it's a mirror you want
Then look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy
Someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free
Set them free

Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free

. . .


What's new
How is the world treating you
You haven't changed a bit
Handsome as ever I must admit

What's new
How did that romance come through
We haven't met since then
Gee but it's nice to see you again

What's new
Probably I'm boring you
But seeing you is grand
And you were sweet to offer your hand

I understand, I do
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
I haven't changed
I still love you so

. . .


Strike up the band let it play
Love songs to haunt me and I will stay
But when it comes to a waltz
Both words and music will ring false
For you waltzed in and spun my world
Around in dizzy dance I swirled
But suddenly you waltzed away from me

Those violins, they must go
So no careless hand with a bow
May play on the strings of my heart
And make me remember how lovers part

How you waltzed in and spun my world
Around in dizzy dance I swirled
But suddenly you waltzed away from me

Strike up the band let it play
Whatever it chooses and I will say
Play me a waltz if you will
I'll sit here and listen waiting until

My love returns to take my world
And spin it 'round in dizzy swirl
Where girl loves boy and boy loves girl
And feet don't touch the ground

. . .


You're kind, you're so kind
You rescued me when I was blind
You put me on your pillow
When I was on the wall
You're kind, you're kind, so kind
And you're good, you're so good
You introduced me to your neighborhood
Seems like I never had so many friends before
That's because you're good

Why you don't treat me like the other humans do
It's just a mistery to me
It gets me agitated when I think that
You're gonna love me now indefinitely
So goodbye, goodbye
I'm gonna leave you now and here's the reason why
I like to sleep with the window open
You keep the window closed
So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Why you don't treat me like the other humans do
It's just a mistery to me
It gets me agitated when I think that
You're gonna love me now indefinitely
So goodbye, goodbye
I'm gonna leave you now and here's the reason why
I like to sleep with the window open
While you keep the window closed
So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Baby goodbye
Baby goodbye

. . .


Sweetheart the night is growing cold
Sweetheart my love is still untold
A kiss that is never tasted
Forever and ever is wasted

For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go, make this moment sweet again
We won't say good night until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight, tomorrow is made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know

. . .


It doesn't really matter where you're coming from
It's no concern of mine where you are bound
Your move from a to b is basic geometry, the shortest line is me

Spare me lengthy tales of pain and misery
Of how you once were lost but now are found
I wasn't searching, just remember who from who between two points in time

Shame on you
Expecting me to go along with all you do
Shame on you
Go play your game of hide and seek with somebody new

I'm just another port of call along the way
Another landing place but that's all right
Let's forget the whys and wherefores
And get on with saying my goodbyes

Shame on you
Expecting me to go along with all you do
Shame on you
Go play your game of hide and seek with somebody new

Watch my lips, hear what they're saying
I will spell it out
Keep those mind games you love playing
They're not what I'm about

Shame on you
Expecting me to go along with all you do
Shame on you
Go play your game of hide and seek with somebody new

. . .


Everytime we say goodbye
I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go

When you're near
There is such an air
Of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye

When you're near
There is such an air
Of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye

. . .


Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm as blue as blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear (I linger on)
Still craving your kiss (craving your kiss)
I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

. . .


Hush now, don't explain
There's nothin' to gain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain

Hush now, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain

You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
I'm so completely yours
Don't hear folks chatter
Cause I know that you cheat
Right or wrong don't matter
When I'm with you sweet

Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy, you're my pain
My life is yours love
Don't explain

You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
I'm so completely yours
Don't hear folks chatter
Cause I know that you cheat
Right or wrong don't matter
When I'm with you sweet

Hush, don't explain
You're my joy, you're my pain
My life is yours love
Don't explain
