Elysium
I languish through the day
In morbid dissatisfaction of time
Barely working through motions
How the mind has become
Such a terrible thing to waste
I play on once such thought
More often than any other it seems
A thought of a girl
One who I fancy I may love
Yet abstain from telling her such
I question if I know this fate
How my feelings are but finished
I know this beautiful girl is fair
Gently spoken in her manners
And that I hold nothing for her
A thought of love becomes an irritation
Which labours in my concision
Such is that I languish myself
Hour upon morbid hour
Till the day like my thoughts
Become done and redundant

Marie (unattainable love)
When I wake up in the morning my first thought is of Marie,
She’s the girl I think of all the time, she’s the girl I want for me.
Her smile is so inviting, her eyes of full of glee,
She’s the girl I think of all the time, she’s the girl I want for me.
Because she is so beautiful, I love her tenderly,
She’s the girl I think of all the time, she’s the girl I want for me.
Though she is so far from me, so far across the sea,
She’s the girl I think of all the time, she’s the girl I want for me.
At times I raise my head in prayer, Oh Lord please hear my plea,
She’s the girl I want to be with, she’s the girl I want for me.
My heart’s in Indiana, where the rest of me should be,
With the girl I think of all the time, with the girl I want for me.
And though I’ve never met her, to my heart she has the key,
She’s the girl I think of all the time, she’s the girl I want for me.
And in my dreams she whispers that she’ll never set me free,
But she’s the girl I think of all the time, she’s the girl I want for me.
It really breaks my heart in two that my dream may never be,
With the girl I think of all the time, with the girl I want for me.
And when I close my eyes at night, my last thought is of Marie,
Of the girl I think of all the time, of the girl I want for me

My Sweetheart love other girl
My sweetheart love other girl*
My sweetheart a little by little stopped loving me*
My sweetheart a day by day forgot me*
My sweetheart time for the sake of time left my heart*
If you wanted to kiss the other girl? please thought about me*
If you wanted to embrace the other girl? please thought about me*
If you wanted to kiss lip with the other girl? please thought about me*
If you wanted sleep with the other girl? please thought about me*
If you wanted dinner with the other girl? please thought about me*
If you wanted to walk with the other girl? please thought about me*
If you wanted to hide with the other girl? please thought about me*

Beauty Has A Name
With each passing day
I look forward to seeing you
Almost as if I was awakened
But you're still here
A dream come true
I never thought
Feelings could grow
But you sure proved me wrong
Almost like a love song
You're the girl
That won me over
You're the girl
I want to be a little bit closer
You're the girl
I wake up to see
You're the girl
I always dreamed next to me
You're the girl
Who makes me laugh
You're the girl
Who never makes me sad
You're the girl
With those beautiful girls
I ask you girl
Do you believe in love at first sight?

A fool's game
It was a fool's game that should not begin
And you played it without honest rules
If you thought that you will always win
Well it's wrong 'cause it's a game for fools
If you thought that you can get me easy
And you tried to do this without honest rules
If you thought that my way to be is sleazy
Well it's wrong 'cause it's a game for fools
If you thought that you can hunt me slowly
And you danced this without honest rules
If you thought that I will love you only
Well it's wrong 'cause it's a game for fools
It was a morbid dance without real feelings
A dance of wishes without honest rules
If you thought that love means mutual dealings
Well it's wrong 'cause it's a game for fools
If you thought that you will be a winer
In this love fight without honest rules
If you thought I'm a cake at your dinner
Well it's wrong 'cause it's a game for fools
And if you thought you can get everything
In this world of yours without honest rules
If you thought that I'm an easy stupid thing
Well it's wrong 'cause it's a game for fools.

Twenty-four Seven
(j.b. rudd/vip vipperman)
Ive got this craving around the clock
And its got a hold on me
Ive had it bad since the moment we met
I cant get no relief
Youre the only train of thought on my one track mind
Going ninety miles an hour baby all the time
Twenty-four, seven
Youre the only thing that matters to me
Twenty-four hours girl, every day
Seven long days a week
Im in heaven, heaven
Twenty-four, seven
Every night when I go to sleep
In my dreams there you are
Youre the first thing I think about
And thats how the morning starts
It seems like everything I say and do
Is all about me being in love with you
Twenty-four, seven
Youre the only thing that matters to me
Twenty-four hours girl, every day
Seven long days a week
Im in heaven, heaven
Twenty-four, seven
Youre the only train of thought on my one track mind
Going ninety miles an hour baby all the time
Twenty-four, seven
Youre the only thing that matters to me
Twenty-four hours girl, every day
Seven long days a week
Im in heaven, heaven
Twenty-four, seven
Im in heaven
Twenty-four, seven
Twenty-four hours girl, every day
Seven long days a week
Im in heaven, heaven
Twenty-four seven
Twenty-four seven girl

Beautiful Thought
Beautiful thought
I had.
Beautiful thought
I dreamed.
Beautiful thought,
pulled from obscurity
dwells in me.
Beautifully aching,
testing limits of control
pushing,
assaulting my conscience,
taking its toll.
Beautiful thought
I had.
Beautiful thought
I dreamed.
This thought
that plagues, torments,
over joys, frees me
perhaps is
key.
This thought that came
of love inspiring love
came gently, softly,
slowly, costly
it may be
beauty
That inspires an artist
in his craft,
or humor that
inspires one
to laugh.
Perhaps intrigue
inspires one
to learn.
But love,
only love,
inspires love
in return.
Beautiful thought
I had.
Beautiful thought
I dreamed.
That love given
has inspired
me.

Mona Lisa
(introduction)
Yo mona lisa, could I get a date on friday and if your busy, i
Wouldnt mind taking saturday.
(wyclef talking)
Right about now, if you are in your jeep. please turn up your radio.
If you dont have a jeep, and you have a little hooptie I still want
You to crank up your volume.
We want all the ladies to sit back, relax, let your hair out.
Wyclef presents the neville brothers in the house tonight.
(nevilles singing)
I know a girl, she ruled my world.
Whatever I need, she supplied.
Living in paradise.
She ruled my heart, till death do we part.
(her love was like esctasy)
*chorus*
Atleast thats how I thought it would be.
(so neville brothers what you telling me)
Atleast that how I thought it would be
(one question, what was her name)
Mona lisa, you called my name.
Laid it apart but I did not respond
And you ask me what I am thinking of
In the morning Ill be gone, no more loving after dawn.
No longer we can share the love that was never there.
When the moon has lost its light.
And the stars no longer bright
And no longer can we share, the love that was never there.
(aint no need to cry girl. its gonna be alright)
Girl dont you cry.
(girl dont you cry)
Please dry your eyes
All you ever been was faithful in my life.
So I apologize
I hope the future brings us back together.
Atleast thats how I thought it would be.
Atleast thats how I thought it would be.
(yo, neville brothers. what was her name)
*repeat chorus*
(wyclef speaking)
Right about now if you are in dance, I want you to hold your girl
Real tight. we got the neville brothers in the house tonight. along
Side wyclef, you know how we do it. I want to apologize to you. i
Never wrote a love song. this is my first one.

Never Loved A Girl
Ohh... cayeah...
What\'cha say baby...
Umm huh...
Thats what I thought...
You\'re a no good heartbreaker
You\'re a liar... you\'re a cheat
And I don\'t know why I let you do that thing to me
My friends keep telling me... yeah... that\'choo ain\'t no good
Oh why... I\'d leave you if I could
I guess I\'m on tight
And I\'m stuck like glue
Cause I ain\'t never
I ain\'t never
I ain\'t never... no... no...
Loved a girl the way that I
I love you
Sometimes I know I thought
You would run outta fools
But I was so wrong
Ya got the one you\'ll never lose
The way you treat me is shame
How could you hurt me so bad
Woh... ooo... oohh... baby you know that I\'m the best thing that you ever had
Kiss me once again
Don\'t\'choo never never say that we\'re through
Cause I ain\'t never
Never
Never... no... no...
Loved a girl the way that I
I love you... yeah
I can\'t sleep at night... and I can\'t eat a bite
And I guess I\'ll never be free
Since you got your hooks in me
Oh oh I.... yeah
I... yeah
I ain\'t never loved a woman like I love ya
I ain\'t never loved a girl
I ain\'t never loved a woman like I put my arm aroun\' ya
Yeah never loved a girl
I never loved a woman like I love ya
Aah yeah...
I ain\'t never loved a girl
Yeah... never loved that girl

Gonna wait till the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
Gonna wait till the midnight hour
When my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna take you girl, and hold you
And do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour
Yes I will, yes I will
Well, gonna wait until the stars come out
And my love begins to shine
Gonna wait till the midnight hour
Then I'm gonna make you mine
You're the only girl I know
Who really really loves me so

Fee Fie Foe Fum
Ohh baby
You been leaving every night at the very same time
You claim you've been going to work
But I ain't seen one damn dime babe
Does this job require that you I bring a night gown trim in lace
Cause the one that I just bought for you disappeared without a trace
Late at night I hold my pillow tight
And I wished that it was you
I??m up till 6:00 when you turned the lock
Feeling like I'm abused
Caused baby I think you doing me wrong
Fee fie foe fum
Got a feeling you've been creeping with someone
How could you do this to me
Thought that you would really love me
Fee fie foe fum
Got a feeling you've been creeping with someone
How could you do this to me
Thought that you would really love me
Listen baby
How could you try to lay me like I was your fool
Why stray if you want to play
Baby girl you go to move
Someone called me last night
He didn't leave his name
All he said to me was watch your back
Cause your girl is playing games
Late at night I hold my pillow tight
And I wish that it was you
I'm up till 6:00
When you turn the lock
Feel like I've been abused
Cause you got me thinking
You doing me wrong
Fee fie foe fum
Got a feeling you've been creeping with someone
How could you do this to me
Thought that you would really love me

Think of You
Oh yeah
Sh de da de dup dem de doo
All the time I think of you
Holding on to someone new
Don't make me lose my mind
Seems like I been here before
Baby I can't take no more
Of you trying to play me out baby
I feel so strange thinking about you
After all the wrong you've done to me
I can't go on feeling like I do
Cause my heart loves you
I'm so confused
Chorus
Don't waste my time
Cause someone like me you'll never find
I thought we had a good thing
But I was wrong and now I must move on
To another love one that I can trust
With my heart I know she'll never run away
Just can't talk no more
So I'm out the door
Talk to me
Why you wanna play love games
Chorus
Don't waste my time
Cause someone like me you'll never find
I thought we had a good thing
But I was wrong and now I must move on

Don't waste my time

Silence
[verse]
Take
Take till there's nothing
Nothing to turn to
Nothing when you get through
Won't you break
Scattered pieces of all I've been
Bowing to all I've been
Running to
Where are you?
Where are you?
[verse]
Did you leave me unbreakable?
You leave me frozen?
I've never felt so cold
I thought you were silent
And I thought you left me
For the wreckage and the waste
On an empty beach of faith
Was it true?
[chorus]
Cuz I...I got a question
I got a question
Where are you?
[verse]
Scream
Deeper I wanna scream
I want you to hear me
I want you to find me
Cuz I...I want to believe
But all I pray is wrong
And all I claim is gone
[chorus]
And I...I got a question
I got a question
Where are you?
Yeah....yeah
And where...I...I got a question
I got a question
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?

Goodbye To You
Of all the things I believe in
I just want to get it over with
tears from behind my eyes
but I do not cry
Counting the days that past me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
Looks like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend and I say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I love
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems like I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Ohhh yeah
It hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want whats yours and I want whats mine
I want you but I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
We the stars fall and I lie awake
Your my shooting star

If You Thought
If you thought me beautiful
I would be
The bright sun playing
In a cherry tree.
If you thought me beautiful
I would know
The thoughts of moonbeams
Dancing slow.
If you thought me beautiful
I would hold
The key to caverns
Full of gold.
If you thought me beautiful
I would look
Like a fairy-tale princess
In a magic book.

I Always Thought Id See You Again
Written by: tim james, steven mcclintock, phil coleman and george tobin
No, Im not making that promise again
Nothing can change my mind
Nothing at all
cause love has a way of comin undone
till Im all alone with my heart
And here Ill stay
And I always thought Id see you again
Oh how it hurts, every time youve crossed my heart since then
Gonna give it all it takes
To hold what might have been,
But I always thought Id see you again
Now theres no reason to run for the phone
No need to hold my breath
Hopin its you
Each time I see someone we used to know
Or go some place we used to go
Its not the same
cause I always thought Id see you again
oh how it hurts every time
Youve crossed my heart since then
Gonna give up all it takes
To hold what might have been cause I always thought Id see you again
Love doesnt come when you need love
Its not always there when you fall
Try as you may, you got nothin to say
Nothing at all
I always thought Id see you again
Oh how it hurts every time
Youve crossed my heart again
Gotta give it all it takes
To hold what might have been
Cause I always thought Id see you again
Cause I always thought Id see you again
Again
Again
