I knew that we were clicking when mimics started kidding my voice, I'll know that I'm on the way out when they stop doing their imitations.

I Was Only Kidding
When I said that Id be faithful
When I promised Id be true
When I swore that I could never
Be with anyone but you
When I told you that I loved you
With those tender words I spoke
I was only kidding
Now, cant you take a joke?
When I said that I need you, baby
When I told you that I really care
When I said that I cant live without you
When I said Id follow you anywhere
When I said you could always trust me
When I said Id never leave you flat
Well, guess what? I was only kidding, baby

(I was only kidding) baby, baby, I was...
(I was) only kidding
Well, I guess I got you pretty good, now listen...
When I said that I love you, baby
From the very bottom of my heart
When I said that I miss you so badly
Every second were apart
When I swore that youre just getting more and more
Beautiful every day

Kidding
A figure dressed in the finest attire
That money can buy
Laiden with assets to make an impression
On a strangers eye
And he lives in a palace
Surrounded by roses in a perfect picture
Hes in deep with the shallow
Hes fading cause he cant see the sky
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you everything
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you anything
Who are you kidding mister?
Im so happy that I could sing, yeah
Nobody, youre kidding nobody
Nobody but you
A dinner with twenty people you hate
And theyre hating you more
Talking politely, its all a show
Tell me what is it for?
And your laugh is tale-telling
They follow but you know youre not a funny man
The truth is the meaning
And your life is that you wouldnt have one
If you were poor
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you everything
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you anything
Who are you kidding mister?
Im so happy that I could sing, yeah
Nobody, youre kidding nobody
Nobody but you
Yeah. . .
Such a shame, sir
Such a shame
Such a shame
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you everything, yeah
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you anything
Who are you kidding mister?
Im so happy that I could sing, yeah
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody but yourself x5
Nobody. . .
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you everything
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you anything
Who are you kidding mister?
Im so happy that I could sing
Nobody, kidding nobody
Nobody but you
Nobody, kidding nobody
Nobody but you
Nobody, youre kidding nobody
Nobody but you

When Love Starts Talkin
I thought I had my life worked out
I thought I knew what it was all about
Then love started talkin
Your love started talkin
I had my mind on the open road
I thought I knew where I wanted to go
Then love started talkin
Your love started talkin
(chorus)
When love starts talkin
You got no choice
But to shut up and listen
Its a powerful voice
Open the door
And let it walk in
Thats what you gotta do
When love starts talkin
I thought I had it wrapped up neat and nice
I didnt need nobodys advice
Then love started talkin
Your love started talkin
(repeat chorus)
I thought I heard it all before
I thought I didnt need to hear no more
Then love started talkin
Your love started talkin
Your love started talkin
Your love started talkin
Your love started talkin
Love started talkin

Love Without Anger
Love without anger
He picked up the phone and took the call
A long distance voice just started to bawl
I dont care if you feel small
Love without anger isnt love at all
Why cant you have your cake and eat it too
Why believe in things that make it tough on you
Why scream and cry when you know its through
Why fall in love when theres better things to do
Barbie and ken in a great big fight
Seems ken forgot to make it home one night
You know what you are seeing simply cant be right
Looks like loves bark is worse than its bite
He was young and in love
So he just couldnt see
And it compelled him to ask
Are you kidding me?
You must be kidding me!
Love without teardrops isnt the same
He asked to be counted out of her game
She thought it him who was so insane
Love is what it does by any other name

Jaws
Seven nations stood with their hands on the jaws of death.
It was the first week in August, Nineteen Hundred Fourteen.
I was listening, you were listening, the whole world was listening,
And all of us heard a Voice murmuring:
“I am the way and the light,
He that believeth on me
Shall not perish
But shall have everlasting life.”
Seven nations listening heard the Voice and answered:
“O Hell!”
The jaws of death began clicking and they go on clicking.
“O Hell!”

More Than Time Has Changed
They seek to stop a fight started.
But this fight 'they' started,
May never come to an end.
And those who are fighting it,
Wishing it to stop.
Know it in their hearts,
It may not!
Since more than time has changed!
Wars started to stop...
With easy victories to claim.
Just aren't fought the same.
When enemies proclaimed,
Were given threatening names.

The Boy Mimics The Father
The boy mimics the father he is his father's son
And he tells all of his young mates of the good things his dad has done
The mentors of tomorrow are the fathers of today
Through your good or bad example your child follows the way.
Since dad was his role model before he walked on his feet
The mistakes of the father the son he will repeat
The mentor of his young years is the mentor of his life
He watched dad beat his mother he too will beat his wife.
The boys mimics the father though you well may disagree
That us humans are impressionable but that's how 'twould seem to me
The main role model of our childhood through life points us the way
The young rogue of the future is the son of the rogue of today.
That the boy mimics the father in most cases does apply
And why this should be I cannot say though I can understand why
The boy mimics the father his role model is dad
And most times that is a good thing though on rare occasions it can be bad.

Ideas Concepts Which Intrigue
some poets
writers prefer to write
shadows echoes
imitations of thoughts
writers they esteem
have written which captures
their imagination expresses
ideas concepts which intrigue
imitations can be interesting variants
tributes to originals
or ideas a poet or writer feels
compelled to express

Cant Stop This Thing We Started
You might stop a hurricane
Might even stop the drivin rain
You might have a dozen other guys
But if you wanna stop me baby - dont even try
Im goin one way - your way
Its such a strong way - lets make it our way
Cant stop this thing we started
You gotta know its right
Cant stop this course weve plotted
This thing called love we got it
No place for the brokenhearted
Cant stop this thing we started - no way
Im goin your way!
You might stop the world spinnin round
Might even walk on holy ground
I aint superman and I cant fly
But if you wanna stop me baby - dont even try
Im goin one way - your way
Its such a strong way - lets make it our way
Cant stop this thing we started
You gotta know its right
Cant stop this course weve plotted
This thing called love we got it
No place for the brokenhearted
Cant stop this thing we started - no way
Im goin your way!
Oh - why take it slow

Nothing can stop this thing that we got

I Have Always Loved You
Since the beginning of time
Since it started to rain
Since I heard you laugh
Since I felt your pain
I was too young, you were much younger
We were afraid of each other's hunger
I have always loved you
There's never been anyone else
I knew you before I knew myself
Oh my baby,
I have always loved you
Since we kissed the first time
Since we slept on the beach
You were too close for comfort
You were too far out of reach
You walked away,
I should have held you
Would you have stayed for me to tell you?
I have always loved you
There's never been anyone else
I knew you before I knew myself
Oh my baby,
I have always loved you
Years go by in a matter of days
And though we go separate ways
I never stop dreaming of you
I have always loved you
And when you call it makes me cry
We never made time for you and
I if I could live it all again
I'd never let it end,
I'd still be with you
Oh
God, I miss you
I have always loved you
There's never been anyone else
I knew you before
I knew myself
Oh my baby,
I have always loved you
Years go by in a matter of days
And though we go separate ways
I never stop dreaming of you
I have always loved you

Murderess
She says your moneys safe
You neednt keep your head down
Now whos kidding who?
Her pictures all over town
I always knew that she was on the run
I read the paper are it said so
I know you like them to be troublesome
Take it to the maximun
Shes a murderess, murderer
She likes to go for the jugular
Murderess, murderer
That woman of yours is a killer
I heard his breath escape
She left the gun on the floor
He left his key with me
I hadnt been there before
I always knew that she was on the run
I read the paper are it said so
I know you like them to be troublesome
Take it to the maximun
(chorus)
-
She says shes innocent
She says shes your baby face
Ah whos kidding who?
Your things are in a suitcase
I always knew that she was on the run
I read the paper are it said so
I know you like them to be troublesome
Take it to the maximun

Flipped To Sit On Minds
Mister Pertillar?
Are you as fantastic as those rumors,
I 'use' to hear you to be?
'Well...
Yes,
Of course!
Why?
Do you believe I should updat them?
Since these days...
Hardly anyone says 'fantastic' anymore.
You have any suggestions?
I've already used 'dope', 'sick'...
And 'flipped to sit on minds'.'
I haven't heard that one before.
'You're kidding.
I started out with that one.
I'll give you twenty dollars.
Go to the nearest bustop.
Use your cellphone.
Pretend you're talking to someone...
And say,
'Who?
Who is FLIPPED TO SIT ON MINDS?
You're kidding?
Lawrence who?
Pertillar?
Keep repeating it,
Until you are satisified...
You have annoyed everyone within listening distance.
That should do it.
I wondered why I hadn't gotten any rolling of the eyes,
Of late.
My friend,
You are a blessing in disguise! '

Who Am I Kidding?
Not another word will I say,
To anyone...
To recommend, suggest or advise.
Not me.
Not I.
I've learned too many lessons.
And a foot in the mouth,
Is not my taste!
No!
I...
What am I saying?
Of course it is!
To stop that now...
Would be like going on a diet.
Excuse me.
I apologize.
For some reason...
I actually believed I could convince myself,
I could stop being annoying.
Who am I kidding?
I love it.

Cant Stop
Writers: leo sayer & alan tarney
Somebody get a fireman
Somebody come along and hose me down
I think Im going crazy
She got me dancin like a clown
The d.j. plays desire
(catch a fire)
Wanna take you higher
(liar liar)
This guns for hire
Shes gonna burn my playhouse down
She said her name was venus
I think she came out of the nile
But all my friends whove seen her
Say shes not by style
The tvs showing dallas
(shrinking alice)
Down the streets of paris
(elysee palace)
I lost my balance
She turned me upside down
Yknow I cant stop I cant stop
I cant stop must be love must be love
I cant stop I cant stop
I cant stop I cant get enough cant get enough
I cant stop I cant stop
I squeeze her in a taxi
With legs up to my ears
She smiles and then she smacks me
I think shes getting pretty weird
And then she took me swimming
(I was grinning)
In the beginning
(my head was spinning)
I said you gotta be kidding
She turned and stole my heart away
I cant stop I cant stop I cant stop
Gotta be love I cant get enough
I cant stop I cant stop I cant stop
Gotta be love gotta be love
I cant stop I cant stop
Shes burning with desire
(Im catching fire)
I cant get no higher
(on the wire)
Call me a liar
(but Im a trier)
Yes, Im a liar
(and getting shyer)
But I think Ive gotta retire
If I survive tonight
Yknow I cant stop I cant stop I cant stop
Cant get enough of this funky stuff
I cant stop I cant stop I cant stop
Must be love gotta be love
I cant stop I cant stop
Must be love
