Your Mind Needs a Good Tweaking Done
Don't think you can do and say anything to me,
And I'm not to know or show it!
Or pretend what you do is fine and okay.
And I will approve of that,
Just to walk away?
You consciously do something to me.
Forgiving you is not a priority in my mind.
Not!
What is?
Forgetting you.
And as quick as possible.
I do not play,
'Let's toss back and forth emotions.
And stump on feelings to gain points.'
You may not notice this,
But neither one of us are children.
And that has been for quite some time!
Your mind needs a good tweaking done.
With updates and fast!
Don't delay this.
You are missing out on much needed reality,
That has for you been depleted.
And as quickly as you can...
Address it!

Forgiving You Was Easy
Forgiving you was easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time
I just keep thinking and your memory is forever on my mind
You know I'll always love you and I can't forget the days when you were mine
Forgiving you is easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time
The bitter fruit of anger growing from the seeds of jealousy
Oh what a heartache but I forgive the things you said to me
Cause I believe forgiving is the only way that I'll find peace of mind
And forgiving you is easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time
The years have passed so quickly as once again fate steals a young man's dreams
Of all the golden years and growing old together you and me
You asked me to forgive you-you said there was another on your mind
Forgiving you is easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time
Forgiving you is easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time

In The Back Of My Mind
Written by billy burnette and david malloy.
Well I try and I try
You cant forget her
Cant run, cant hide
When you remember
Nights that wont fade away
Yea fade away
Well I still go crazy
When you hear her name
Feels like you just left today
And it drives you insane
But you keep holding on
Yea holding on
In the back of my mind
You live all the time
In the back of my mind
In the back of my mind
Every night, every day
Thats where you still play
In the back of my mind
When I close my eyes
You can still touch her
And I fantasize
Shes still your lover
When I wake up I see
The only place youll be
I know where youll be
In the back of my mind
You live all the time
In the back of my mind
In the back of my mind
Every night, every day
Thats where you still play
In the back of my mind
I remember your eyes burning bright
Like we touched the summer sun
I can see your shadow standing there
On the streets where we used to run
Remember
In the back of my mind
You live all the time
In the back of my mind
In the back of my mind
Every night, every day
Thats where you still play
In the back of my mind
In the back of my mind
You live all the time
In the back of my mind
In the back of my mind

Inner Dimensions of My Mind
Inner dimensions of my mind,
Rocky crevices I must climb,
Seeking shelter from ugly turmoil,
My feelings toss, my soul boils,
I need serenity mighty quick,
To the curb my miseries kick,
Someone said I should let go,
But if it's time, I do not know,
In the future I can't foresee,
Of her ever forgiving me,
I've waited though my heart does know,
Forgiveness may not ever flow,
And what will I do, I dare say,
Should her heart refuse and stay,
In deep despair and isolation,
That lonely place of desolation,
All I want is for her to attain,
The place where she'll be happy again.
For Laura

Remove It From Your Mind
Does the shallowness,
Of one with a fickled soul show...
If it is announced to another,
How much a missing of one's presence is...
After many years has come to go,
Without a sign of contact.
Or...
Should the one who has been contacted,
Not be suspicious of this act at all.
If the one proclaiming to have done the missing...
Responds to an email sent 'eleven' years ago,
And did not express this in a telephone call.
'Well,
My opinion is this...
That person isn't too high,
On a priority list.
And a confession made,
After that length of time has come to go away...
I wouldn't be suspicious.
I would remove it from my mind to dismiss this quick.'
Hypothetically speaking?
'Hypothetically speaking or not.
People like that are into themselves.
People like that are thoughtless and should be dropped.'

I 'Recently' Changed My Mind
Could I live with myself,
Sleeping with a seeking...
To revenge an act done to me,
Deeply sinking in as if intended?
And I promised myself,
To let such foolishness go.
Could I?
Would I hold onto thoughts,
Without a wish to abort them?
To continue to be reminded,
Who initiated the impregnating...
As if I laid in waiting to satiate it?
Would I be that consciously stupid,
To not use some kind of protection?
Forgetting what was done,
Forever!
Knowing inside of me,
This feeling would grow to sit.
Making periodic visits.
And could I go through belaboring a birth,
Surging to emerge and pretend it goes unnoticed?
Knowing in my mind it isn't worth it to suppress.
Or...
Would I be proud to deliver a healthy punch,
With my right as I might...
To address it as expressed?
'Owww!
What did you do that for? '
You don't think I am going to carry around,
What you did to me...
For months.
And not harbor 'any' remnants of ill feeling?
Do you?
DO YOU?
'But...
You 'said' you forgave me.'
I thought I did too!
Well...
I 'recently' changed my mind.
Ahhh...
NOW I feel okay about leaving it all behind.

You Are 'Never' Going To Change
Here it comes, again.
That same denial I make attempts to forget.
The same one about my missing someone loved.
Someone I am trying my best not to admit.
Why me?
Why can't you just leave me alone,
And be about your own business.
Here I sit alone for a few minutes.
With the thought of this on my mind.
And then I believe from me those feelings go.
And then when I 'think' the coast is clear.
Those feelings come again.
They without notice re-appear.
So I pick up the telephone.
Blocking out my number before I dial.
Knowing those feelings once had in me are gone.
To announce very quickly to 'whoever' answers...
That the number I dialed was wrong.
Why me?
I find I am asking myself this,
Constantly.
Here it comes, again.
That same denial I make attempts to forget.
The same one about my missing someone loved.
Someone I am trying my best not to admit.
So I pick up the telephone.
Blocking out my number out before I dial.
Knowing those feelings once had in me are gone.
To announce very quickly,
The number I dialed was wrong.
'Why can't you just leave me alone? '
Excuse me?
Didn't you here me say...
I dialed a wrong number?
You are 'never' going to change!

Another day wasted out of time
I can't get out of this
Altered state of mind
I'm going overboard
My conscience meets decline
Into Reality
I know this can't be fine
[Chorus]
Cause I'm all messed up
Making prefect nonsense
Drowning in my doubt too well
Cause I'm all messed up
Going nowhere fast but circles in my mind
So blind
Who are these voices in my head
I can't go on like this
Living like the dead
I haven't slept so long
Feeling sad I dread
I'm talking to myself
Forgot what I just said
[Repeat Chorus]
Well I hold my only enemy as closely as a friend
And I sold my own reality to further my descent
Selt-destruction taking over it's so eay to pretend
Introduction to this nightmare may never end
Can anyone help me drag my heels
I'm running overtime
I can't hold down my meals
My mind is racing by
Staring blankly feels
Like pulling out my teeth
While this engine winds

Norway
I packed up my bags,
My shoes, my clothes,
My toiletries.
Packed everything
I needed
For my holiday
To Norway.
My mind was set
So was my mood
To have a great time.
But when I boarded
The plane, something
Wasn’t right, as if
Something was missing.
I had taken all caution
And a lot of care to see
That nothing goes wrong
And yet, somehow I knew,
Something didn’t feel right.
I checked all over again
Did a memory drill of my mind
To see what was missing.
But it didn’t have a clue
Despite being so pragmatic,
And ‘right’ in all its social codes.
Politically correct, that’s what they say,
When the mind “knows it all”
Yet I knew it didn’t know,
What was missing, what was so wrong
About not having it with me.
I delved deep inside my feelings….
Then did I fathom what was missing,
Without which I felt so empty and inept.
Yes, I packed all what I could take with me
Yet, my heart remained to be with thee….
And so I left my heart, that wouldn’t budge
No matter where I went, it always had to
Holiday with thee, never wanting to come with me.

The Waiting Game
Every time that I fall for that same old trick
I punish myself with the same old stick
I want to believe it so badly I deceive myself
Forgetting reality
Ignoring the fact that youre altogether someplace else
Forgetting reality
But I swear here and now
The truth shall be mine
And surrender to my prayer
The weapon is time
Ill play your waiting game
Im gonna win the win the waiting game
Ill play your waiting game
Im gonna win this game my friend
And forget you in the end
Your memory seems like a living thing
I never know if Im imagining
I look at your face and I know thats impossible
Forgetting its just a dream
Now Im hearing your voice saying anything is possible
Forgetting its just a dream
And I still cant say why
You keep invading my mind
But this uncontrolled fixation
Grows weaker with time
A cloud of unknowing floats between you and me
A trickle of love still flows between you and me
But we live in different galaxies
But I swear here and now
Your heart will be mine
Youll surrender to my love
My weapon is time
And your wall of resistance
I will slowly undermine
While your uncontrolled fixation
Grows stronger with time
Ill play your waiting game
Im gonna win the win the waiting game
Ill play your waiting game
Im gonna win this game my friend
And Ill be with you in the end
Ill play, yes I will

Missed You
Every time I close my eyes,
I'm taken back to where we were,
Through the pain and loneliness,
I think of how much I Love You
Life in Paris is fast-paced,
It can swallow you up before you know it,
Life with her was beautiful,
But now only memories will show it.
I'm missing you Lish,
Missing the hot tubs,
Missing the curdles,
I'm missing you Candy
Missing the back rubs,
Missing the best
...friend a person will ever have,
...girl that a guy could ever Love.

Competition Smile
(phillip rhodes, robin wilson)
Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now its creeping across my eye
Going down in my mind, down in my mind
Im high and Im hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now Im going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine
Emulate the style
A competition smile
Now Im running, not looking
And opening up my brain
Where its easy to lose my name
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain
Im hoping youll notice
That no one else helps me grow
Oh, its not easy to let you know
What Im dying to show
Dying until you know
Pretending all the while
A competition smile
Now Ive thrown something far
And it haunts me like a curse
Im like a stone
Falling hard
And Im only getting worse
Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now its creeping across my eye
And going down in my mind, down in my mind
Im high and Im hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now Im going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine
Pretending all the while
A competition smile
Im hiding high...

If Youd Ever Needed Someone
Stop right there and listen,
Before you say something you might regret
I know somethings missing
But I cant begin to accept what you said
Maybe, you can show me
Exactly where Im goin wrong
Cos lately Ive been thinking
Maybe Ive been round here too long
If youd ever needed someone in your life
Maybe then youd know
Why my heart just wants you to stay
But my head tells me lo let her go
If youd ever needed someone
One way or another
Whatever I do it seems you criticize
Is there any wonder
The hurt that I feel is so thinly disguised
I cant help but notice
Little things that tell me so much
Is it only a matter of time
Before Im missing your tender touch?
If youd ever needed someone in your life
Maybe then youd know
Why my heart just wants you to stay
But my head tells me to let her go
If youd ever needed someone
If youd put yourself in my place
You could never say whats gone is gone
If youd ever needed someone

Violet roses
Violets are blue / Violets are blue
Roses are red / Roses are red
Love still lives / Love still lives
While romance is dead / While romance is dead
-
You walk down the hall / He walks down the hall
Slowing your pace / And I slow my pace
Just to get a glimpse / To sneak one glimpse
Of my remarkable face / Of his beautiful face
I turn my head towards you / He looks towards me
As you quickly glance away / And I quickly glance away
A bluch on your cheeks / A bluch on my cheeks
That'll last for the day / That'll last for the day
And once we're in class / And as we go into class
It's me you ignore / It's him I ignore
You pretend you don't care / I can't show I care
While begging for more / But I'm dying for more
You talk with your girls / I begin talking to friends
About me I assume / About him and my doom
What move is the right one / Wondering what move shall I make
To make in this room / In this tiny classroom
You get up from your chair / And when it's decided
And walk towards me / I get up from my chair
With some lame excuse / To deliver a line
That's not what it seems / And a quick silent prayer
'Can I use a pencil? ' / While I ask for a pencil
Is your favourite line / My typical line
Though in your head the question / My heart changes the words
Is 'Will you be mine? ' / Into 'Will you be mine? '
You've never asked directly / Though I haven't asked him out
If I'd go out with you / And my heart lies askew
Though all the rumours say yes / I know someday I will
It's probably not true / When all rumours are true
For everyone knows / For everyone knows
Your not a girl I'd date / I'm not girl he'd date
It's not your fault sweetie / I know it's not possible
You know it's just fate / But could it be fate?
But what's there to do / So tell me what's there to do
When you never seem to go / When these feelings won't go
It's maybe hard to accept / When my heart screams hang on
But even your being slow / And my love doesn't show
Your head isn't too thick / When my head is too thick
Too comprehend what I say / To hear what he'd say
But your mind becomes blank / In the back of my mind
And you stare into space / And somewhere in space
And I know that there's butterflies / With the wings of butterflies
Flying in your chest / Beating in my chest
And I really must apoligize / Somedays I feel the need
For laying these feelings to rest / To put all feelings to rest
But a broken heart is needed / But a broken heart isn't wanted
For the message to clear / While all dreams remain clear
Because though you may want me / And even though I'm not welcome
I can't have you here / I'll plant my feet and stay here
-
Roses are red / Roses are red
Violets are blue / Violets are blue
You've always loved me / You've never loved me
But I've never loved you / But I've always loved you

Cloud Nine[Doin Fine]
Darling part of my life it wasnt very pretty. see, I was born and raised
In the slums of the city.it was a 1 room shack and slept 10 other children
Beside me.we hardly had enough food or room to sleep. it was hard times. i
Needed some thing to ease my troubled mind.
Listen, my father didnt know the meaning of work. he disrespected mama and
Treated us like dirt.i left home seeking a job that I never did find.depressed
And down hearted I took to cloud nine.
Im doin fine, up here, on cloud nine. listen 1 more time, Im doin fine, up
Here, on cloud nine.
Folks down there tell me, they say give your self a chance son dont let life
Pass you by,but the world of reality is a rat race where only the strongly
Survive.its a dog-eat-dog world and that aint no lie. it aint even safe no
More, to walk the streets at night.
Im doin fine, on cloud nine.
Let me tell you about cloud nine. cloud nine, you can be what you want to
Be,(cloud nine)you aint got no responsibilities,and every man,every man is
Free (cloud nine) your a million miles from reality, reality I wanna say upper,
Higher,upper, up, up and away.
I wanna say I love the life I live, and Im gonna live the life I love, up here
On cloud nine.
I, i, i, i, i, Im riding high on cloud nine.
Your as free as a bird in flight, (cloud nine)theres
No difference between day and night (cloud nine)its a world of love and
Harmony, (cloud nine) your a million miles from reality,reality wonna say
Upper,higher,upper, up,up and away. cloud nine you can be what you wanna
Be,(cloud nine)you aint got no responsibilities,(cloud nine)every man and his
Mind is free,your a million miles from reality, you can be what you wanna be.
Im feelin fine on cloud nine.

Love Comes
It strikes you hard and fast.
All your life this game will last.
When you're not looking it hits you like a blast.
All of a sudden your heart is glass.
Inside you feel their killing glance.
You want them badly. You're going mad.
Without them near you're feeling sad.
Love comes quickly like a ghost.
It grows quickly inside the host.
You feel a tremor.
Drenched in sweet.
In the ground your feet are set.
You'll get to know this sweetie yet.
It comes so quick. How did it happen?
Inside your head the thunders clapping.
Ten beats a second your heart is pounding.
You try to speak.
Your brain has sprung a leak.
All the while you're unaware.
Of these feelings they also share.
So take a chance.
You'll find romance.
Love has got you in it's dance.
It comes so quick you'll never see.
The hit will bring you to your knees.
So just relax and let it come.
Be aware though, and don't be blind.
Notice the fact that it is time.

I wonder
You seem so kind
You look so fine
So afraid to cross the line
Wonder if it`s the right time
So hard to find the words to say
You`re on my mind night and day
Wonder if i should walk away
But in my mind i want to stay
This door has been shut
Since i`ve been in this rut
Yet i have a feeling in my gut
That i just can`t cut
So I sit and I wonder
As i hear the thunder
Of the emotions that i ponder

True Blue
(rod stewart / ron wood)
Never been a millionaire
And I tell you mama I dont care
Never gonna own a race-horse
Or a fast back mid-engine porsche
Dont think Ill own a private jet
On the stock exchange Im no threat
So wont you help me make up my mind
Dont you think Id better get myself back home
Sitting in the moonlight glow
Excuse me if my feelings show
Watching all the trucks roll by
Dreaming up an alibi
You see, back home Im considered the fool
But maybe theyre right I dont know
So cant you help make up my mind
Dont you think Id better get myself back home
Who cares
Daddy says hell buy me car
To drive just as far as I need
He wants me back at any expense
Hes got a lot more money than sense
Funny but now that Im gone
They all wanna be concerned
Oh please can you make up my mind
Dont you think Id better get myself back home
Just dont know what to do
Maybe Ill walk, maybe Ill ride, maybe Ill never ever decide
Get out da way
I gotta get on home
I gotta get home as soon as I can

Finer Feelings
Written: stock waterman
The finer feelings, the finer feelings
1a:
You cant give to me
Anything
I couldnt get for myself
I have needs as much as any man
And I understand the feelings well
1b:
I can still have a true heart
With a free mind
A good life
With a good time
Chorus:
But what is love
Without the finer feelings
Its just sex
Without the sexual healing
Passion dies
Without some tender meanings
It aint love
Without the finer feelings
2:
I get passionate
Just like you
But I have a little self-control
You just show your selfish attitude
Your emotion leaves me cold
1b:
Chorus:
Bridge:
The finer, the finer
The finer feelings
3:
(I can still have a true heart) it aint love
(with a free mind) it aint love
(a good life)
(with a good time) feelings

Do I Know You
(toby keith)
Do I know you
Have we ever met
Youve got a smile I could never forget
Perhaps youve mistaken me for someone you know
Whats that you say
Am I losin my mind
Thats just one of the things girl
That I left behind
You must be talkin about something
That happened a long time ago
If I forgot to remember your name and your face
Excuse me forgetting I must have misplaced
That part of my life that left all the scars
From the back of my mind, to the bottom of my heart
Theres a look in your eyes
Ive seen before
Its all too familiar but I cant be sure
Ive got a memory somewhere
That looks a lot like you
Im still confused
With these feelings inside
I want to reach out and hold you and I wanna hide
Tell me did I really love you
Or are you someone that I never knew
If I forgot to remember your name and your face
Excuse me forgetting I must have misplaced
That part of my life that left all the scars
From the back of my mind, to the bottom of my heart
If I forgot to remember your name and your face
Excuse me forgetting I must have misplaced
That part of my life that left all the scars
From the back of my mind, to the bottom of my heart
