If we're gonna win, we have to play up to and beyond our potential. We're capable of doing that.

We wanna be free
Without the help of a margarita or exstacy

Im gonna find my 4-leaf clover
Before my life is done
Some way, some how, Im gonna have fun
Play in the sunshine
We gonna love all our enemies
Till the gorilla falls off the wall
Were gonna rock him
Were gonna roll him
Were gonna teach him that love will make him tall (somehow)
Aah, pop goes the music

And the color green will make your best friends leave ya
It will make them do the walk
But thats cool
Cuz one day, everyday will be a yellow day
And lets play

Over & Above
Half past 12 on a friday night everythings wrong and it doesnt feel right
Tried to talk to someone in the bar she didnt like my face I didnt get far
When you grow up youre gonna walk big strides just like me
When you grow up youre gonna hit the big time wait and see
And I listened to his guiding voice like a man who overhears god
Over and above what Im capable of
You couldnt take the weight of my purest innocence
Over and above what Im capable of
You couldnt take the weight of my purest innocence
Are you over
So tall daddy used to tower above him symbol of unreachable
Time fades icons of perfection cruel result but not intention
His values are not the ones I choose hes failed in himself
In the blaze of his pride an independence expressed
Not there is no guiding voice like a man who loses god
Over and above what Im capable of
You couldnt take the weight of my purest innocence
Over and above what Im capable of
You couldnt take the weight of my purest innocence
Are you over
And a man cant understand his father til he becomes a father too
Now his own sons expectation becomes his own hearts burden new
Dad I didnt understand the pressure could it bring them back together
Over and above what Im capable of
You couldnt take the weight of my purest innocence
Over and above what Im capable of
You couldnt take the weight of my purest innocence

Two Ways To Play
Somethin' crossed my mind again
You were in my eyes
It was somewhere out by Bombay
And I'm tellin' all those lies
I've been there and you've been there
And there ain't no mistake
We could take it anyway
But the one thing we can't fake
There's just two ways to play
Just two ways to play
And I don't want to stay
There's just two ways to play
And I'm gonna play it right, this time
Yeah
There's always the easy numbers
There's those hard ways too
There's those cheaters blunders
It's either one of two
But fortune telling's mezmorizing
In the game of chance
But rollin' dice ain't sympathizing
When you play romance
There's just two ways to play
Just two ways to play
And I don't want to stay
There's just two ways to play
I can't control the numbers
I can't control your sexy ways
I can't control my inner thunder
It makes me want????????
Two ways to play
There's Just two ways to play
There's just two ways to play
There's just two ways to play
I'm gonna play it right this time
There's two ways to play
There's just two ways to play
Two ways to play
There's just two ways to play
And I don't want to stay
There's just two ways to play

My Way
Oh the heat is on, and my backs against the wall
You know its tough to be strong, in a world that makes you crawl
Im never gonna stop, Im never gonna give up in the fight
cause after the battle is done, all youve got left is your pride
Chorus:
Im gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
Im gonna go where I go, aint takin no my way
Here in the danger zone, its a jagged edge we climb
But if you take it like stone, and stand on your own
You can make the grade in time
Im never gonna run, Im never gonna tell myself a lie
cause after its all said and done, I wont be wonderin why
And Ill know that under the gun, I am the one whos got the right to decide
Chorus
And if you dont play my game I wont play, Im gonna do it my way
Im never gonna run, Im never gonna tell myself a lie
cause after its all said and done, Ive got the right to decide
Chorus repeats 3x
Yeah, Im gonna do it my way, yeah, Im gonna do it my way

Ring ring goes the telephone bell
Sorry but I'm not at home
The cute voice the sexy sell
Leave a message Leave a message
I clutch I say too much
I trip on my tongue I mumble and such
Please baby
Would it hurt to stay in touch
Ain't gonna play I'm gonna lose it either way yea yea
Ain't gonna play no way my friend you win
Now you got me where you want me
Now you definitely got me
Now you got me where you want me
Now you definitely got me
Got up and headed downtown
Lookin' for some superficial action
Didn't really wanna mess around
Just felt kinda lonely
I walked through the door of our usual haunt
Liked to pop my eyes
There you were on the dance floor
Shimmying with some other guy
Ain't gonna play
I'm gonna lose it either way yea yea
Ain't gonna play no way my friend you win
Chorus:
Now you got me where you want me
Now you definitely got me
Now you got me where you want me
Now you definitely got me
Now you got me where you want me
Now you definitely got me
Now you got me where you want me
Now you definitely got me
Holdin' on like a thread to a needle
I guess this is love
Knocked down like a boxer in trouble
No denying it ain't gonna try and hide the truth
You definitely got me
Now you got me where you want me
Now you definitely got me

Take Me As I Am
I ain't no perfect six,
Ain't turning any dirty tricks,
To get me where I wanna be;
Not gonna be a star,
In a backseat of a car,
I'm standing on my own two feet.
Oh, not gonna play no games,
Now or ever;
I got forever to be me.
Take me as I am,
'Cause I'm through with changin
I'm not playin games, no;
Gonna tell ya how I feel,
No more re-arrangin
What you see is what you get,
Oh take me as i am.
Mmm, don't need no push up bra,
No see through clothes no fancy car,
I got my own identity (I got my own identity);
Don't need no lacey dress,
No pretty dress don't give me thrills,
I'm gonna tell it like I see.
Oh, not gonna play no games,
Now or ever;
I got forever to be me.
So Take me as I am,
'Cause I'm through with changin
I'm not playin games, no no;
Gonna tell ya how I feel,
no more re-arrangin
What you see is what you get,
Oh take me as i am...
take me as i am....
Don't need no precious fix,
To take my blues away;
I found the answer to get high...
I'm gonna be myself exactly as I am;
Just watch me now I'm gonna fly....
Not gonna play no games,
Now or ever;
I got forever to be me.
So Take me as I am,
'Cause I'm through with changin
I'm not playin games, no no;
Gonna tell ya how I feel,
no more re-arrangin
What you see is what u get,
and what I need you wont forget
Take me as i am...
Take me as i am....
Take me as I am,
No more re-arrangin;
What you see is what you get,
Oh take me as i am.

How You Ever Gonna Know?
That old wind thats whippin out there
Its whistlin your tune
That wind blew pyramids to egypt
And footprints to the moon
And that old star that youve been wishin on
Is shining mighty bright
Its a fire inside your heart
Thats gonna lead you to the light
How you ever gonna know,
Whats it like to live there?
How you ever gonna know, victory?
How you ever gonna know,
What its like when dreams become reality?
How you ever gonna know,
How it feels to hold it?
How you ever gonna know, what its like to dance?
How you ever gonna know,
If you never take the chance?
You know failure isnt failure
If a lesson from its learned
I guess love would not be love
Without a risk of being burned
Anything in life worth havin
Lord, it has its sacrifice
But the gift that youre receiving
Is worth more than the price
How you ever gonna know,
Whats it like to live there?
How you ever gonna know,
What you never know?
How you ever gonna know,
If youre down here doin
What the good lord puts you here to do?
How you ever gonna know,
If you could have done it?
How you ever gonna know, how it feels to fly?
How you ever gonna know,
If you never dare to try?
Listen not to the critics,
Who put their own dreams on the shelf
If you wanna get the truth to admit it,
Youve gotta find out for yourself
How you ever gonna know,
What its like to be there?
How you ever gonna know,
If youre the best?
How you ever gonna know,
What you believe in if you dont put it to the test?
How you ever gonna know,
How it feels to hold it?
How you ever gonna know,
Whatll never change it?
How you ever gonna know,
If you never chase the dream?
How you ever gonna know,
Your potential?
How you ever gonna know, how you ever gonna know,
Whats it like when dreams become reality?
How you ever gonna know,
How it feels to hold her?
How you ever gonna know,
What its like to dance?
How you ever gonna know,
If you never take the chance?

Do You Think About It
What you gonna do if the fashion changes
Have you got a good song, can you go on
Will you be so strong you can rearrange it
Will you still have the thought to rely on
Will you cut your hair, do you dye it yellow
Are you still the right flavor to be tasted
Will you have your name in the sunday papers
Do you tell them you are straight or get wasted
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Did you ever think when you picked the front line
Are you gonna back up on your promises
Did you tell the folks you could make the changes
Are you gonna play it different than the last one
You got the address and you got the power
Are you gonna use it right or abuse it
Taking all the trust that you know youre given
Are you gonna play the game or just lose it
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you have the looks
Do you have the profile
Do you have your fingerprints or a record
If they come to you for some information
Looking for a secret would you sell one
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do

Be Yourself
Well, I am what I am
what I am could be who you are
Is, your pain when you smile
cos you've built a wall around your heart
Do the thoughts in your head keep you up
cause you feel alone
And are you strong enough to be yourself
Papa used to say you're just a loser
and you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
ain't gonna get you nowhere
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself
If you cried would you hide
would you want all the world to know
And if you believed in love
would you let it show
are you in
are you hip
Are you cool
Do you try too hard
or are you strong enough to be yourself
Papa used to say you're just a loser
and you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
ain't gonna get you nowhere
Papa used to say you're just a loser
and you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
ain't gonna get you nowhere
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself
If you can't, can't be yourself
what are you living for
If you can't, can't be yourself
you're gonna lose it all
If you can't, can't be yourself
what are you living for
You're gonna find someday
you're gotta run away
you gotta run, run, run away
Papa used to say you're just a loser
and you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
ain't gonna get you nowhere
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself

Smash The Badges
We've heard you talk about us
We know you could live without us
We know authority would rather fight than unite
We know our rights and we have none
But that's gonna change tonight
You need to learn that we're not looking down
We see eye to eye
[Chorus:]
So now I say, we're gonna smash the badge
Until we get our way, don't put it off
Put them away [2x]
Don't want to play your game
Intimidation, fear and shame
Take away the badge
And you're a citizen just the same
There's a time for everything
And you've come at the wrong time lookin for me
How can you say you know what's right, as you lie
[Chorus 2x]
There's been too many days and nights
Being bored with nothin to do
We're gonna tear it down tonight
This one's from us to you
We're gonna take back what you took away
You're gonna take back what you had to say
And you will wish that this was yesterday
Don't need the games you play
We're gonna take, we're gonna break
Leave us alone, or we'll break your face

Try & Love Again
When youre out there on your own
Where your memories can find you.
Like a circle goes around you were lost until you found out
What it all comes down to.
One by one the lonely feelings come.
Day by day they slowly fade away.
Ooh, the look was in her eyes,
You never know what might be found there.
She was dancing right in time and the moves she made so fine
Like the music that surrounds her.
Should I stay or go? I really wanna know.
Would I lose or win if I try and love again?
Oh o-o-o-oh, gonna try and love again.
O-oh o-o-o-oh, Im gonna try and love again.
O-oh o-o-o-oh gonna try and love.
Right or wrong, whats done is done.
Its only moments that you borrow.
But the thoughts will linger on of the lady and her song
When the sun comes up tomorrow.
Well, it might take years to see through all these tears.
Dont let go, when you find it you will know.
Oh o-o-o-oh, gonna try and love again.
O-oh o-o-o-oh, gonna try and love again.
O-oh o-o-o-oh, gonna try and love again. o-oh o-o-o-oh
O-oh o-o-o-oh sometimes lose, sometimes win,
Sometimes you need a friend
O-oh o-o-o-oh, o-oh o-o-o-oh

Recognition
Everyone needs recognition
for the things that they do
especially by those who matter most.
If they ignore you, call you second best
the hurt festers deep inside
never letting you go.
You never release the full potential
of what you’re capable of.
Every talent need to be nurtured
especially by the ones you love.
That recognition by them
is important in your life.

Potential New Boyfriend
Got my eye on a boy
Hes eyeing me back
Its looking real good
This could be it
And I know that all of you girls
Would love to steal him away
He bought me a drink
I thanked him real sweet
Its always so nice when you first meet
And I know that all of you women would love to steal him away
So Im warning you
Chorus:
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Building up an appetite
You can look but you cant buy
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Pretty as a picture
Comin on so strong
Hes twisting my ignition key
Turn my motor on
But anyone can see, all his attentions on me
Give us some privacy
2nd chorus:
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Better keep your hands off my
Its a welcome turn to try
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Leave us alone tonight
Then if it dont work out right
Hes all yours
Until then
3rd chorus:
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
They keep crowdin in on me
He smiles rather unsuspiciously
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend

Ain't Gonna Grieve

Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
And ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
Come on brother, join the band,
Come on sisters, clap your hands,
Tell everybody that's in the land,
You ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
And ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
Brown and blue and white and black,
All one color on the one-way track,
We got this far and ain't a-goin' back
And ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
I ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
We're gonna notify your next of kin,
You're gonna raise the roof until the house falls in.
If you get knocked down get up again,
We ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
I ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
We'll sing this song all night long,
Sing it to my baby from midnight on.
She'll sing it to you when I'm dead and gone,
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more.
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more

Guitar Heaven
Written by: neil diamond
Hey little boy
Just sitting on your back porch
Picking on your guitar
Wishing you were far away
Well, I can tell
Youve had a little bit fo a dream
I see it in your eyes
I can hear it in the songs you play
And hey little boy
Just play it like you feel it
Make it so real
Its almost to real to take
Just swing it like a player
Make it like a prayer
Its one from the heart
Give it all of the hear it can take
And when you play what you wanna play
Just reach down to the soul
You keep on growing and youll know some day
That sound is gonna turn into gold
Boy, youre taking me there
To guitar heaven
And without saying a word
You lay it all on the line
And make me leave my cares
In guitar heaven
Just go and play your song
I could stay all night
Play it son
(guitar solo)
You know, youre taking me there
To guitar heaven
You make me feel every sound
You make it shine like a light
Im gonna lose my cares
In guitar heaven
You go and play that song
Im gonna stay a while
Go and play that song, boy
Im gonna stay a while
The way you play that song
Makes me wanna smile
