Ideas are worth a dime dozen, but people who put them into action are priceless.
One should be willing to throw away a dozen ideas to come up with a good one, just as one should throw away a dozen words to come up with the right one.

IF You Sincerely Choose to Excel
The only thing,
You may be able to prove...
Is your right to live your own life.
However,
In doing so...
You have no right to believe,
Your success or lack of it...
Depends on someone else,
Being depicted as less deserving.
Because that is what you wish.
And you make attempts,
For others to acknowledge this.
Be not that big of a fool.
IF you sincerely choose,
To excel.
Fools are a dime a dozen.
And today...
Anyone just may get two dozen,
For less than that!

Hard To Handle
Baby here I am
Im the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you gotta come home with me
I have got some good old lovin
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin it on you
You gotta come back for more
(chorus)
Boys and things that come by the dozen
That aint nothin but drugstore lovin
Hey little thing let me light your candle
cause mama Im sure hard to handle, now,
Gets around
Action speaks louder than words
And Im a man of great experience
I know youve got another man
But I can love you better than him
Take my hand dont be afraid
Im gonna prove every word I say
Im advertising love for free
So you can place your ad with me
(chorus)
Boys come along a dime by the dozen
That aint nothing but ten cent lovin
Hey little thing let me light your candle
cause mama Im sure hard to handle, now,
Gets around
(repeat verse 1)
(repeat chorus 1)

Aja
Up on the hill
People never stare
They just dont care
Chinese music under banyan trees
Here at the dude ranch above the sea
Aja
When all my dime dancin is through
I run to you
Up on the hill
Theyve got time to burn
Theres no return
Double helix in the sky tonight
Throw out the hardware
Lets do it right
Aja
When all my dime dancin is through
I run to you
Up on the hill
They think Im okay
Or so they say
Chinese music always sets me free
Angular banjoes
Sound good to me
Aja
When all my dime dancin is through
I run to you

The Wolf
You were born to privilege
Licking on a silver spoon
Think you gotta buy all your friends
Just so you can tear up the room
Your kind is a dime a dozen
I've seen it all before
A parasite in a good disguise
Just another wolf at the door
The wolf
Prowling in the nighttime
The wolf
Howling in the moonshine
The wolf
Gives you what you want but he ain't no friend of mine
You lay it on oh

Good Girls
Written by John Mellencamp
Good girls don't stay for breakfast
They know it's in poor taste
Good girls won't blow your evening
With small talkin' chit chat just a waste
(chorus)
I don't wanna walk with you
and I don't wanna talk with you
and I don't wanna be with you
'till the night time
Good girls have reputation
Good girls have to keep it clean
But you girl you're so damn reckless
You're a boll weevil evilly obscene
(repeat chorus)
Hey girl you know I've heard those stories
About you girl last of the pony-tail queens
China chops are a dime a dozen
So hey girl go on and shake that thing
(repeat chorus)

Obsession Blues
By michael mcdonald and bernie chiaravalle
Starin back at a room full of strange faces
I sense another welcome worn thin
A bartender sayin son take it outside
Take it out the door you brought it in
He said, he dont wanna hear about my problem
Or why I think I got it so tough
He said guys like me come a dime a dozen
That my only problem is knowin when Ive had enough
(but) how can I have too much?
How can I have to much of somethin I cant get enough of?
You said it so well in your letter baby
You gave me every reason why
Girl you sure use a lot of paper, just to say good-bye
Well heres to the good times
Heres to the way we were
Heres to how you tried to be my lover
till disaster struck
Now you wanna be a friend and tell me
Im a man who simply needs too much
But how can I have too much?
How can I have to much of somethin I cant get enough of?

At Times I Have
At times I have happy ideas,
Ideas suddenly happy, in among ideas
And the words in which they naturally shake free...
After writing, I read...
What made me write that?
Where have I been to find that?
Where did that come to me from? It is better than me...
Shall we have been, in the world, at the most, pen and ink
With which somebody writes properly what we here jot?...

Im So Free
Yes I am a natures son and Im the only one
I do what I want and I want what I see
You know it happens to me
Im so free, Im so free
Oh please aint your man
I have come this way
Do you remember the shape I was in
I had horns that bent
Im so free, Im so free
Do you remember the silver walks
You used to shiver and I used to talk
Then we went down to times square
And in the center been hangin round there
Im so free, Im so free
Yes I am mother natures son and Im the only one
I do what I want and I want what I see
Could only happens to me
Im so free, Im so free
Oh, Im so free oh, Im so free oh, Im so free
In the morining Im so free
In the evening Im so free
Yeah yeah yeah Im so free
When I feel good Im so free
When its in the morining Im so free
When its in the evening Im so free

Feels so good now, Im so free, oh, Im so free
Feels so good now, Im so free, oh, Im so free, ......

Doncha Go way Mad
I must confess that what you say is true.
You had a rendezvous with somebody new!
Its the only one Ive ever had.
Baby, baby doncha go way mad.
The cheating shows and it never goes.
Youve got a reason to be mad, I suppose.
She was only just a passing fad.
Baby, baby doncha go way mad.
Her kinds a dime a dozen.
Thats not the kind you want.
Who would have thought your cousin would wander into that restaurant?
Well, you understand that I feel upset.
Whatd ya say that we forgive and forget?
Come and kiss me just to prove youre glad.
Baby, baby doncha go way mad.
Now her kind is a dime a dozen.
You should have passed her by.
Who would have thought your cousin would come along and give us the eye?
Well, you understand that I feel upset.
Whatd ya say that we forgive and forget?
Come and kiss me just to prove youre glad.
Oh, I dont know.
Baby, baby doncha go way mad.
Come and kiss me just to prove youre glad.
Oh, oh.
Baby, baby doncha go way mad.
Come and kiss me just to prove youre glad.
Deborah darlin doncha go way mad.
Baby baby baby...

Learning to Love
Those who love faithfully
Are the endangered species
That breed is fading slowly
For love is quick to cease.
Broken hearts and promises
Are a dozen for a dime
Broken lives in emptiness
Go on suspended, lost in Time.
No more the faithful, none the true-
Extinct and now are things of past
Rejected love and care that's due
Are not received, they never last.
True love to be renewed
Must anchor on the giving
And focus on what's good
At all times, be forgiving.
