I look at myself and I try to laugh
I’m happy and it should be easy
Before you I knew only compromise
Your requited love comes as a surprise
Why then do I feel so bad?
Why am I sad to be this happy?

Because I know our time will end
And we’ll go our separate ways
And I’ll be alone again
And for all of this I’ll pay
I’ll pay for my happiness

I can’t be here today
I’m already on tomorrow
And though tonight is filled with joy
I’m already on sorrow
Sorrow comes from being happy

I’m sad to be so happy
The other shoe will drop
The pendulum will swing
It started, it can’t stop
The tide will ebb and flow
I guess by now you know
I’m gonna have to go
It’s just too sad to be so happy

[BACK TO TOP]

You don’t speak a foreign language
Even your English makes me wince
Long ago you managed to learn two words in Spanish
But you haven’t learned any more since

You don’t know how to play tennis
Poker or piano or chess
Even Twenty Questions leaves me seriously guessing
If there’s anyone I know who knows less

But you know too much about me
I am a subject you know perfectly
If there were a class about me you would pass
Let’s face it, you’d ace it
Just like that, one two three
You know too much about me

You know too much about me
You know my whole history
My heart through and through
The rest of my anatomy too
Don’t sweat it, forget it
Just don’t disagree
You know too much about me

I need a gal who’s not so much of a pal
One who wonders what makes me tick
Someone who cares but with whom I don’t share
The details of each of my tricks
That’s not you

You make me confide
Leave me nothing and nowhere to hide
I squeal, I reveal every top secret deal
I sing like a bird, every layer is peeled
All my tales have been heard by you
You know more about me than I ever knew

Oh, you know too much about me
You’ve studied me diligently
If there were a test about me you’d do the best
No cheating, no reading over a shoulder
Or, bolder, stealing the answer key
You wouldn’t need it in order to be
My valedictorian
No, you know my story and
You know it by heart and some parts to a T
Yes, you know too much about me

[BACK TO TOP]

We’ve been so happy together
We always have such a grand time
What happens next is anyone’s guess
But I don’t want to mess with what’s been just fine

Let’s not fall in love
I’m not made for it
I can’t take a chance again
I won’t dance that dance again
It’s too dangerous

Let’s not fall in love
I have no time for it
Once it was all I had time for
I used to suspect then I found out for sure
It leads to heartache
Falling in love’s a mistake

Love is distracting
It makes you start acting like a fool
Falling in love’s not a very smart thing to do
Love is demanding
Beyond understanding
It’s cruel
Let’s make a crash landing tonight
Descend from above
From those realms of love
Filled with the fools
Let’s not love rule
Let’s fight it with all of our might
Let’s not fall in love

Let’s not fall in love
Let’s wait a while
Until we’re old and wise and out of style
Until we have nothing left to lose
and nothing at all to do but fall

Let’s not fall in love
We should be afraid of it
I think it would be great if it
Just went away and left us alone
Let’s pretend we’re not home
Don’t answer the door
Don’t pick up the phone
Let love leave a message after the tone
For a fool who’s done a foolish thing
And fallen for you

[BACK TO TOP]

You are so hard to love
So hard to recognize
You can’t turn away but you can’t meet my eye
You are so hard to love

You are so hard to hold
You’re not in the moment, all you’re in is control
I can’t be carefree ‘cause I care too much
You are so hard to hold

You were good at the game
When the game was beginning
I took my chances
You took your winnings

You are so hard to know
But it’s so hard to get up and go
I wish I could stay
Wish there were some other way
It’s so hard to go
But you are so hard to love

[BACK TO TOP]

I won’t be around
Another king’s been crowned
Okay, they say she’s found another man
She’s got another guy
You’ve got to wonder why
Now heartbreak’s something I understand

Goodbye, I hereby set you free
As for me, I won’t be waiting in the wings
Like some fallen king or a bird of prey
Hey, hey, waiting for the day
The day he leaves
Oh, no
I won’t be around

I'm still here
Fighting back these tears
I guess I’ll disappear and so
I won’t be around
When the kingdom crashes down
I won’t make another sound
Here I go
No, I won't be around

[BACK TO TOP]

I fall back on my bed
To rest my weary eyes
Then it’s always the same old surprise

I drift into a dream
A dream of you
The only one I dream about
Next thing I know the dream is done

It’s the same thing
Every time
I wake up just like that
When the wind blows
On a dime
At the drop of a hat
Just like that

I see you every night
You take me by the arm
But something in your touch
Sets off an alarm

As soon as you drift in
I wake up with a start
And it’s the same old broken heart

Yeah, it’s the same one
Every time
At the drop of a hat
When the wind blows
On a dime
I wake up just like that
Just like that

I wish that I could sleep
I wish that I could dream
I wish that I could keep you
Where you could be seen
The only place I see your face
Is in my dreams

[BACK TO TOP]

You can give me anything but love, baby
That’s the only thing you’re all out of
You want to be my friend
You tell me in the end I’ll be okay
Well that’s not what I need to hear you say

You can give me anything but love, honey
That’s the only thing you’ve run out of
You’ve run out of it for me
But it’s still there
I see it in your sweet deceitful eyes
Someone else has claimed my prize

You loved me freely and fully before
Love was the end all and be all and more
You were my captive but then you were freed
Now you can give me anything except the thing I need

You can give me anything but love, darling
That’s the only thing you’re all out of
But before you say for sure
Before you kick me out and close the door
Let me love you like I never could before
Let me give you everything, my love

[BACK TO TOP]

If you want to know her
If you want to be let in
Open the door, enter, explore
See the places love has been
There once was a song in her heart

Nothing should prevent you
From reaching her inner core
It’s a total mess but as you’ve guessed
It’s from the ones who were there before
Looking for the song in her heart
Down at the bottom of her heart

I heard that someone heard a fragment of an air
Or a hymn or the strain of a tune down there
I once found a melody lost without its words
Maybe you’ll find something no one else has ever heard

So if you want to find out
If she’ll ever love again
She’s an open book, go ahead, look
Read the stories love starred in
There once was a song in her heart

There once was a song in her heart
Down at the bottom of her heart

[BACK TO TOP]

I think it’s time you left him
Time you went your separate ways
I’ve got nothing against him
Per se

But I can see it in the stars
You should make your getaway
I should drive your getaway car
We should leave today
His love isn’t fair
Never, nowhere

He’s just biding time
A decision must be made
I’ll let you steer
You let me decide
Let’s make that trade
He’ll never care the way I care
Never, nowhere

He’s living a lie
He’ll never belong to you
He’s giving you a try
But after a song or two
He’ll leave you far behind
And no longer long for you
While I’d be true
Yes, I’d be true

He won’t always be there
There’ll be a price to pay
But you can have it all, yeah
With someone else someday
I know when and where

I wish you’d wash him out of your hair
I wish you’d call off the affair
He’ll never care the way I care
Never, nowhere

[BACK TO TOP]

I will always be the same
Like the stars that shine above
I won’t ever change
My love will stay the same

I was only faithful to my fair-weathered heart
I’d fly south at summer’s end
Then when it got too hot
I’d fly back to you again
North and south
Year in, year out
But from now on without a doubt

I will always be the same
Like the stars that shine above
I won’t ever change
My love will remain

Even if the stars all fade
Like fireflies at dawn
Or if the constellations
Lose their shapes and come undone
If the heavens sink into the sea
There will still be you and me

And we will always be the same
More steadfast than the stars above
We won’t ever change
No, we won’t ever change
We won’t ever change, my love

[BACK TO TOP]

To you, my ugly neighbor
Who keeps me up all night
Who wakes me in the morning
You are a bane, a blight
On my years living here next door to you

To you, my ugly neighbor
Who doesn’t care at all
Who keeps her dog out barking
Who smokes out in the hall
Too many years living here next door to you

I’d never seen your face before
Until I showed up at your door
What I was prepared to do
Was rant and rave and rail at you
But soon's I saw you flip your hair
My outlook changed right then and there
I could not put up a fight
I wanted to stay up all night with you

I wanted to
With you, my pretty neighbor
But still I cannot stay
Living here with you is hell
In so many ways
It's just trash taking out her trash
At two a.m. your trash cans crash
But your worst offense
Yes, worst of all
Is making love behind my wall
All night long with someone else
I could fall in love with the devil herself
Or you
Yes you, my ugly neighbor
