I Shouldn't … but, I do.
I like the way you look at me,
Every time you look at me...
I shouldn't
But I do
I shouldn't
But I do.
I like the way you talk to me,
When you say the things you shouldn't be...
I shouldn't
But I do
I shouldn't
But I do.
I liked the feeling of your company,
When you'd carve out some time for me...
I shouldn't
But I do
I shouldn't
But I do.
I like the sound of your voice,
Pulling at me, like I have no choice,
I shouldn't
But I do
I shouldn't
But I do.
Thoughts of you are frequent for me,
Though, I try not to think of you.
I shouldn't
But I do
I shouldn't
But I do.
I can't help that I feel this way,
Believe me, it's much to my dismay,
There wasn't
But,
NOW
There is a
YOU...
If you only knew,
How much I try,
How often I fail..
When I try
To try
Not to think of
YOU.

Why Do I Feel So Sad?
Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye
By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be
Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh
By now I should know that
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now by now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why
By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

Naughty Girl
It's after 12
Can't face the day
Remind me just how hard it can be
To forget
I said things I didn't mean
You saw things you shouldn't have seen
Been a naughty girl
Real bad so and so
Done too many things a girl shouldn't know
I swear I never knew
I could hurt you so
One too many things a girl shouldn't know
Can't take the sadness
From your eyes
Can't put the truth back in my lies
Oh whoa
Don't make me try and explain
Let's just start over again
Been a naughty girl
Real bad so and so
Done too many things a girl shouldn't know
I swear I never knew
I could hurt you so
One too many things a girl shouldn't know
The more you try to stay
The more I let you go
Done too many things a girl shouldn't know
I swear I never knew
I could hurt you so
One too many things a girl shouldn't know
Won't stop and try to turn the clock back
I won't beg - I'm no good at that
Too late to start and act like a saint
Can't be something that I ain't
Been a naughty girl
Real bad so and so
Done too many things a girl shouldn't know
I swear I never knew
I could hurt you so
One too many things a girl shouldn't know
The more you try to stay
The more I let you go
From one too many things a girl shouldn't know
I swear I never knew
I could hurt you so
One too many things a girl shouldn't know
Been a naughty girl
Been a naughty girl

i'm a little wrong.
i've known it all along.
shouldn't know the things I know,
shouldn't go the places I go.
shouldn't want the things I want
they aren't meant for me
i'm supposed to just live
to eat, to sleep
but there's a being with a voice
that lives inside my head
and says, 'just skip this meal,
you don't need to go to bed.'
. now the voice has control
and i bend to it's will.
if i lose weight i'll be happy
if i'm in pain it's okay
is this a cry for help
or is it just seeking attention

The Rare Flower
There's beauty in such a sacred structure, oh,
That thing that is nurtured and loved.
It's quite an occasion.
It's driving me crazy.
I'm not allowed to touch on lust.
I've gotta get a hold of myself.
I mustn't admit it.
I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't
Pick the rare flower.
I don't see why I shouldn't,
Well I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't
Pick the rare flower.
Whoooo
Walking in a Paradise or Eden,
Whoa, temptation:
Give me one second to succumb.
It's calling me.
With a menacing whisper of,
Magic offer a-charming me./Magical world enchanting me.
Why I've gotta get a hold of myself,
You see, but it ain't easy.
I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't
Pick the rare flower.
I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't
Pick the rare flower.
Whoooo

Does Your Mama Know About Me
Does your mama know about me?
Does she know just what I am?
Will she turn her back on me
Or accept me as I am?
And what about your dad?
Did you think of what he'll say?
Will he be understanding
Or does he think the usual way?
Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've been through this before
And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door
Does your mama know about me?
Does she know just what I am?
If she says forget about me

Shouldn't Be Ashamed
To live without a savior, answer to his name,
Shouldn't be afraid, shouldn't be ashamed
Like a kid behind the counter remembering your name,
Shouldn't be afraid, shouldn't be ashamed
If it's not like I told you, then it's still your call
You should live how you want, stay with me, we should stay apart
Just shouldn't ever have to be this hard
Like a man on the sidewalk remembering your face,
Shouldn't look away, shouldn't be afraid
He remembers when they still wore gaiters, World War One
Shouldn't be afraid, shouldn't be ashamed
If it's not like I told you, then it's still your call
You should live how you want, stay with me, we should stay apart
Just shouldn't ever have to be this hard

Life goes through changes so fast, you think your life is great, than one of your best friends dies. Then you think you found someone you truly love, only to figure out, she doesn't love you back. You cry and cry and cry, but nothing changes. You realize, that you must accept things for what they are, and what they have made you become.Everything in life changes you in some way. Even the smallest things. If you do not accept these changes, you do not accept yourself. For through these changes brings new and greater things to you, making you wiser, as time progresses. To avoid these changes is a loss. You only live your life once. Do not waste a minute of it avoiding things. Let them come to you, and learn from them. There's always tomorrow.

At times I want to be lonely
At times
I want to be lonely
Sit in a corner
Cry freely
For things
I shouldn’t have done
Words
I shouldn’t have spoken
I talk to myself
Think
How to correct them?
Wipe my tears
Move ahead
With new determination
Try not to
Repeat them in future

He Said, I Said
'We,
you know' I said
'we humans already,
already know all things.
Will I be rich
people ask me.
I say either you will or you won't
or you'll be in the middle.
See, you already know all the answers.
If you get rich then there nothing to worry about.
If you don't get rich-you'll obviously try
and you might fail
therefore there is nothing to worry about.
Or you will land in the middle and since that
is ok
you can relax.
nothing to worry about.
Or, you could get dead soon.
In that case
there is nothing to worry about.'
'So, he said
you want me to do nothing? '
'No, ' I said
'do everything you can.
My point is simply you already
know all answers before hand
and therefore can relax on that score.'
'Ok, ' he said.
'Tell me this.
'Does she love me or not?
I said 'if she does,
-say it with me-
you have nothing to worry about.
If she doesn't and you can't make her
then forget it
and you shouldn't worry about it
or anything you can't do anything about.
Or true she may still be thinking about it
and in this case you should just wait or move on.
But since you can't make speed things up
don't worry about it.
See you already know the answers
so what are you fretting for? '
'Well' he said, ' I'm fretting because
I want her to love me-'-
'Even if she doesn't' I said?
'No, if she doesn't ok.'
'Well' I said
if she doesn't accept you
accept that and move on.
'But' he said 'I want her to'.
'Oh, ' I said you want her to
even if she doesn't want to?
In this case you want something that is crazy
and you'll come to grief.
Learn to want what you need
and not to want what you can't have.
Don't spend time wanting
what you want but can't have.
That is the secret of happiness' I said.
'Humm.., he said.

The Cloud That Rolled In
the fog on the grey
matter, it should
maybe it's me and
i shouldn't, or don't
either way i teeter
totter, on the edge
i see the pit, the
bottom, or so i
think, maybe
somedays it gets to me
i'm crazy, maybe
i know i can't clear
my head, crazy
all the things
i've see, said
but i'm not sure
the fog, i've said
the cloud that rolled
in, on me and me
i don't, or shouldn't
i don't, i don't
know, maybe
it's me, i'm crazy

You Became Those 'Things
You became those 'things'.
Your car, your jewelry...
Watches and diamond rings.
The shoes and suits.
Shirts and ties.
The dinner parties you hosted.
With those hors d'oeuvres you insisted...
I would love if I tried!
You became those 'things'.
With such a credibility!
But when you lost them...
Something I saw died within you.
And the family you knew,
Saw that too.
None of us who witnessed it...
Recognized you at all!
Did you believe when those 'things' left...
You could restore your emptiness,
By pretending to be someone else?
That everyone would accept?
You became those 'things'!
And you expected us to accept nothing less.
Now you suggest we respect that.
But you invested your happiness in things.
And you neglected life!
You became those 'thing's you chose to be.
What makes you believe...
Now those things are gone,
You can be someone that is liked?
Without those things you seem to have no life.
And 'that' you chose to ignore.
Without them you seem such a bore!
You became those 'things'!
What are you now good for?
A useless nothingness?
You had said of me...
And your family.
And those who then had less!

Hope
Aim high and never give up;
Things may fall short at times;
If things don’t happen, ’tis OK;
At times, they get delayed.
Try hard as much as you can;
Some day, Luck will smile surely;
Life is full of ups and downs;
Be patient, come what may!
Failures shouldn’t upset your mind;
They must goad you to start again;
There’s nothing wrong in trying once more;
If ’tis your blunder, take the blame.
Attempt with fresh fervor again;
May be, you weren’t lucky today;
Who knows when things happen your way;
Await with patience, your D-Day!
All cannot become great stars o’er-night;
All aren’t geniuses at birth;
Achievements need right environs;
Don’t accept defeat meekly!
All buds may blossom on some dawn;
Some need not still on every lawn;
Hope is the basis of our life;
But work we must and always try!

You Won't See Me
Why can't we see eye to eye?
I feel you don't want to try
Cause you won't see me as i am
If you can't accept in me
The good with the bad
Then you won't see me cry again
You won't see me
Why'd you want to go and walk away?
I have got some things to say
But you won't see me as i am
If you can't accept in me
The good with the bad
Then you won't see me try again
You won't see me
I'll be movin on, i'll be long gone
You are in my range
I am in your sight
You say, things don't change
I say, they just might
You just might find that you can trust in me
If you look at more than just what you want to see
But you won't see me as i am
If you can't accept in me
The good with the bad
Then you won't see me around here again
You won't see me
I'll be movin on, i'll be long gone
