"Oh god, oh god. Dumping so early in the evening. I really didn't mean that. I really didn't mean that." Above the ground, I'm lifted to the sky, and down like a tumbling weed I found myself stranded high and dry. A circus ride, oh, it only costs a dime, bu...

"This is a song I've been singing for a long time. It's like an old friend. But, you know, I think it, it's only recently that I discovered what it's really about." You've got to give a little, take a little, and let your poor heart break a little. That's...

Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed. Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed. Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need. I say love, it is a flower, and you its only seed. It's the heart afraid of breaking...

[Rose:] Wherever we go, whatever we do, we're gonna go through it together. We may not go far, but sure as a star, wherever we are, it's together. Wherever I go I know he goes. Wherever I go I know she goes. No fits, no fights, no feuds and no egos, Amigos, t...

Wind storm, comes the sound. From the stars my dark has come. You've gone from me. Whoa, tragedy. Mmm, tragedy. Whoa, come back. Help me here. Call me my love, love. Be sincere. You've gone, you've gone, you've gone from me. Whoa, tragedy. Whoa, tragedy. Lik...

"How ya doin' girls? Long time, no see. Listen, I've been to the doctor lately. Honey, I just spent forty dollars to hear that from that guy?" My analyst told me that I was right out of my head. The way he described it he said, "You'd be better off dead tha...

Oh, the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof. And your shoes get so hot, you wish your tired feet were fireproof. Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, on a blanket with my baby is where I'll be. From the park you hear happy sounds from the carouse...

Come with me, come with me and we shall run across the sky. We illuminate the night. Ohhhh, I, I will try and guide you to better times and brighter days. Just don't be afraid. Come on up the ladder to the roof where we can see heaven much better. Let's go up...

He gets up each morning and he goes downtown where everyone's his boss, and he's lost in an angry land. He's a little man. But then he comes uptown each evening to my tentament. Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent. And when he's there with me he ca...

When he held me in his arms, when he held me in his arms and said, "Baby, baby, baby, you are the only one for me." When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else. He'll trade the world for the good thing he found. Yeah, if she's bad, he can't...

Every time I touch you my heart skips a beat. Every time I kiss you I feel love from my head to my feet. Somethin' deep within me, baby, sayin' you should be mine. Don't you know, baby, somewhere I got to, I got to draw the line? Tell me, baby, whose side are...

Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh. It must have been cold there in my shadow, to never have sunlight on your face. You were content to let me shine, that's your way. You always walked a step behind. So I was the one with all the glory, while you were the one with all t...

When I am a flyer, I'll fly down to Miami, get a room in one of those big resort hotels. And nobody there will ever get to know me well. And nobody there will ever get to know me well. I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella on the shore of the southern se...

I saw her today at the reception. She had a glass of wine in her hand. She said, "Well, now I have to go meet my connection." At her feet was a footloose man. I heard her say, "You can't always get what you want. You can't always get what you want. You can't...

You give your hand to me and then you say, "Hello." And I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so. And anyone can tell you think you know me well. Hell, you don't know me. You don't know me. You don't know the one who dreams of you at night; longs to kiss yo...

[Rose:] You'll never get away from me. You can climb the tallest tree. I'll be there somehow. True, you could say, "Hey, here's your hat." But a little thing like that couldn't stop me now. I couldn't get away from you, even if you told me to, so go on and t...

I stayed out late one night and you moved in. I didn't mind 'cause of the state you were in. May I remind you that it's been a year since then? Today the landlady, she said to me, "Your loony friend just made a pass at me." Perhaps you might enjoy a cottage b...
