The Deal To Make Others Happy
i make a deal with myself
everyday i must find a way
to make other people happy
tough deal
but i must: connect the missing
link of love
find the lost photo album
of the spinster
bring the old man at
the metro station
and described to his blindness
the colors that i see
the music that lies in the heart
amidst the noise
of this world
little pleasures of the hands of children
dipping fingers
on the cool water of the creek
by the side of
the big canal
of an old house abandoned
by the couple
that i must make them
to reconnect
on love letters long gone
i must retrieve
what has been fading
there is a lonely man sitting
waiting
i must provide him with another name
tough deal
but worth it, it is.

Deal With The Preacher
I need love, the kind I've
never known before.
You need it, too, the kind that makes you feel so good, baby.
I want to give, give you all the love you need.
Well, I'm a loner, and that's the way I want to be, Yeah.
Let me say. As the sun climbs across the sky above,
So your smile filled me with a stronger love.
Just as you and I, watchin' the morning sky, oh, yeah.
Somehow I know it's time for me to say goodbye, Yeah, yeah.
Here's why: can't make a deal with the preacher, oh, yeah, yeah.
And I can't make a bargain in heaven, now.
Angel, you came to my window, Angel, you came to my door.
I was a fool and I let you in; I sure ain't no fool anymore!
Yeah, yeah, you better believe me right now baby.
Oh, yeah.
As the sun climbs across the sky above,
So your smile, filled me with a stronger love, mm.
Just as you and I, we're watchin' the morning sky,
And somehow I know, it's time for me to say goodbye.
I can't make a deal with the preacher, you know yeah.
And I can't make a bargain in heaven, yeah, yeah.
Heaven knows me by now.
I can't make a deal, oh no, no, no,
no.
I love you baby, I love you baby.
I can't make a deal, make a deal, make a deal,
Make a deal, make a deal. Yeah, yeah.
You know and I can't make no bargain in heaven,
Listen, I can't make a deal, make a deal, make a deal,
Make a deal, make a deal, oh, oh.
And I can't make no bargain in heaven, oh yeah.

Making It Real
I was once told to make it real
Well here's the deal
It is I feel
No deviation off this rugged course
With remorse its sad to see someone try to explain it to me
What I already see
You got talent and wisdom
But you just don't how to use it
You abuse it.
I was once told to make it real
Well here's the deal
I try to better myself every day
With a sense of moral guidance
And absolute faith
In the dark world I embrace
So let me make my stance
My standing pose
For it is mine as you have yours
I was once told to make it real.
Well here's the deal.
I'm not here to please or get on my knees
I tell you what I want when I want
Like it or not
Its my power to overcome
Its my hour to be done
To waste with a smiling face
I was once told to make it real
Well here's the deal
Have you ever been told your trying to hard
Well I'm not
Everything goes
Everything flows
Like magic
Its something I've always known
I was told to make it real
Well here's the deal
The battle is already won
It was kinda fun
But now it on to the next
Never let limitation of a closed mined
Waste too much of your time
Accept them as the are
Which sometimes isn't very far
But don't make the measurement if they don't reach the par
Let them think there better
With another well written letter
Well I do make it real
And with this its my deal

You Got The Deal
I lived my life one way too long.
Deal me straight, I can't go wrong.
A gambler's fate's in the cards he takes,
And now I know it's just a mistake.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
You got the . . .
Left our dreams on a lonely road.
Come back here with a heavy load.
Fight our best when the chips are down.
You go your way, and I'll win this round.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
LEAD BREAK
You live your life for the dollar sign.
And all that you've made,
You're just buying time.
But time takes it toll,
It don't care who you are
You know you're marked for life
With your empty heart.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
I don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.

How do I deal
How do I deal with all this pain that remains in my heart,
How do you heal a broken heart,
How do deal with the fact that the guy you once love is with her,
I just can’t stand the fact of losing someone so close to me,
I still have feeling for you but you can’t see it,
How do I deal with this,
How can lose this pain I feel,
I cry my eyes out yet he can’t see it,
Now I have lost this war against love,
How can I put away the past I once hold onto,
How can you say farewell to the person you love a lot,
How do I deal with this all,
I can’t stand there and act like nothing is going in my head,
I just need to know how can I deal with this.

Faith and Hope- The true pursuit of happiness!
When stars dim up in the sky
When things seem so hard to try
When raging sea billows roll
When all seems bad and all seems cold
When giving up seems to become your goal
When stale bread is the only meal
When all options fail and there's more with to deal
Faith and Hope can make your wounds heal
Faith is the belief that it would happen
Hope is the feeling that makes it happen
When Hope is lost
It can be found
When all seems gone to the ground
Hope can still germinate this time around
And fill your heart with something special
A special feeling that someday it will get better
And guess what
No true believer has disproved this law
Things will get better when you work hard enough
When the going is tough
Be tougher
When all seems rough
Try harder
Things will get better...
Better someday.
WHen all seems lost
Trust in hope the priceless cost
to pay all the trouble and weary down to nothing
For in hope the homeless get mansions
In hope the cowards seek bravery
in hope the lonely seek love
and experience true love
For in hope the troubled seek peace
and find true happiness.
Yes...the pursuit of happiness is Hope
And in Hope we will all find joy
For if you have a Dream
Believe it for hope can make you achieve it!
And in all you need faith to retrieve it!

Have I Got A Deal For You
(michael p. heeney, jackson leap)
Well you look like the kind whos got an eye for a bargain
A kind of guy who likes to shop around
Well I got me this old heart
That Im putting on the market
And Ill make you a deal you cant turn down
Chorus:
Have I got a deal for you
A heart thats almost like brand new
And Ill let it go so cheap
Youll think you stole it fore youre through
Have I got a deal for you
Well you could search the whole world over
And never find another like it
Its got a built in lifetime guarantee
Its a one time only offer
And darling once youve tried it
Youre gonna fall in love with it youll see

Everyday
love can make you do things you never dreamed possible...
I got lost, couldnt find my way
And I guess theres nothing more to say
Love can make you blind, make you act so strange
But Im here and here I will stay
So everyday I cry
Yes everyday I fall
Do you ever wonder why, why I love everything about you
But everyday I say Ill try to make my heart be still
til then every way there is to cry, ourselves to sleep we will
It picked me up, knocked me off my feet
Ive got no way to explain
Still I love you, love you, love you but this fire inside
Will never see the light of day
So everyday goes by
And everyday I fall
It makes me wonder why,
My lifes worth nothing without you
But everyday I say Ill try
To make my heart be still
cos every way there is to cry,
Ourselves to sleep, we will
Youll never know, no, no, no ,no ,no
Youll never know just how close we were
Youll never know, no, no, no ,no ,no
Youll never know
No youll never see
The book closes and we try to forget
But I know that things wont change
How we feel, how life goes on
And that seems so strange
And so the light fades away
Try, try, try as I may
I cant stop thinking about you
It seems my lifes worth nothing without you
But everyday I say Ill try
To make my heart be still
til then every way there is to cry,
Ourselves to sleep, we will
Everyday, everyday you know I try so hard
Everyday, everyday it gets a little harder

What Can Make You Happy?
Are you happy right now or sad?
Are you bitter about your present condition?
You wonder what is wrong with your life
You wonder why others are happy
And question why some are so sad
Are happy people born that way?
Or happiness is a state of mind
What can make you happy?
Will having more money make you happy?
How much money do you need to make you happy?
If you are single and not happy!
Will having a new lover make you happy?
Will getting married make you happy?
If you are married, and not happy!
Will having more children make you happy?
Will sleeping with other people make you happy?
If you are a professional and not happy!
Will changing your profession make you happy?
What can make you happy?
Will getting drunk everyday make you happy?
Will taking a new drug make you happy?
Will buying a new car make you happy?
What can make you happy?
Will moving to a bigger house make you happy?
Will been promoted at work make you happy?
Will been the head of your organization
Make you happy
What can make you happy?
Always remember that what makes
You happy can make the others sad

Ways To My Heart
you may know me,
more than i thought,
but, that's okay,
that's what drives me crazy,
not many people,
can read between the lines,
that's what sets you apart,
show me you can be there,
and you'll win part of my heart,
i don't open up to anyone,
show me you worth the risk,
i don't like people breaking my heart,
treat me special,
tell me what i want to hear,
but say it with meaning,
otherwise, it's just words on paper,
be who you are,
never be fake,
i like them real,
it's a better deal,
i love a guy who knows what i like,
but, also keeps me guessing,
about whats going on in the inside,
i love the challenge of finding who you are,
but, even more,
i love that you know a part of me
i don't really like to show,
besides my naughtly ways,
i have a serious side,
be a good friend,
want me for my mind,
not for my body,
in the end,
i'll find ways to make
you just as happy.

Driven By You
Words and music by brian may
Oh - everything I do I do for you
Oh yeah
We touch and youre afraid of me and
We burn and now Im at your feet
High speed,but you know youre in safe hands
In the dark we make a brighter light
From one spark to the horizon wide
We trust and together we tame the land - yeah
Youd be forgiven if you think youre dreaming
But were working night and day to make a dream come true
- yeah
Everything I do is driven by you
Oh - come on babe
Oh well its tough to make a journey through
The right stuff is dead ahead of you and me
And you know weve still got time
Hold on tight to the driving wheel
This ride is really out of line
Raw deal, but theres no other thats worth a dime
You know I love you but you drive me crazy
cos youre saying all the things I want to say to you
You say
Everything I do is driven by you
Everything we do (4x)
Everything we do is driven by you
Inner children lost their way
Now they know the price you pay
Im holding on to life with you
cos life without you just wont do
Driven by you
You know Im never going to know whos dreaming
But were working night and day to make a dream come true
- yeah
Everything I do is driven by you
Everything we do (8x)
Everything we do is driven by
Driven by
Driven by you
Oh - everything I do I do for you

Running Up That Hill
It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me.
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...
You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder.
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, it's you and me.
It's you and me won't be unhappy.
And if I only could,

"C'mon, baby, c'mon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience, oh..."
And if I only could,

And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.
And if I only could,

Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,

And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,

Dont Think... Feel
Words and music by neil diamond
Sleepy old sun, sleepy old day,
Sleepy old tree gonna make me some shade.
Sleepy old time on my side of town,
Im feelin fine, Ill explain to you now.
Dont think, feel; aint no big deal.
Just make it real and dont think, feel.
It dont take plans to clap your hands,
When it feels nice just dont think twice.
Some worry all day bout who they can trust,
Some worry all night bout money and lust.
Worry they do and worried they die--
And after theyre gone just the bankers cry.
Dont think, feel; aint no big deal.
Just make it real and dont think, feel.
It dont take plans to clap your hands,
When it feels nice just dont think twice.
Life is a card, you take what you get.
You do what you can to feel no regret.
You do what you can, forget about words,
Just go with the feelin it usually works.
Dont think, feel; aint no big deal.
Just make it real and dont think, feel.
It dont take plans to clap your hands,
When it feels nice you dont think twice.
Dont think, feel; aint no big deal.
Just make it real and dont think, feel.
It dont take plans to clap your hands,
When it feels nice you dont think twice.
Dont think, feel; aint no big deal.
Just make it real and dont think, feel.

How To Deal With Internal Loneliness?
People wonder
How to deal with
Internal loneliness.
There is almost nothing to deal with.
Every human
Has only one heart.
And it is a given
That one heart
All by itself in the chest
Is going to feel lonely!
That is just another way
Of saying,
We humans are
By nature
Lonely
And it takes action and effort
On our part
To deal with
Our internal loneliness.

What You Won't Do For Love (feat. MC Lyte)
Yeah, I make steady for love
Venetic love
But if I'm not around
You won't think enough
I'm gonna make it real for you
Whenever I deal wit you
I do do do do anything
I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find the love within
So I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go
Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, do for love
You tried everything
But you won't give up
In my world only you

And I can't let go
And though I only want the best it's true
I can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything
But you don't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do
Yeah, come on now, listen
Do they get it when the project is a queen
I gotta get to you cause you do them things to me
My love shows
Nobody knows how my ???
Cause when you're filling me up
You're enough when you're ready for that nut
Baby I'll be that buttercup
And I catch every drop
You got a chick of love
For you go to the storm
And skip to the road block
We can rumble in cuss
We can fight
We can fuss
But no I'm never giving up
It's nothing I won't do
Nothing I won't go through
You are of the joy and the pain
I will keep it true
What you won't do
Do for love
You tried everything
But you won't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do
Do for love
You tried everything
Won't give up
Do for love
You tried everything
Won't give up

Brain Lost
Don't do a thing
Don't make a choice
Keep watchin t.v.
Straight to the point
Do what it tells you
Hate what's described
Don't deal with people
Deal with the lies
Some say thats brainwashed
Say what they will
Do what i have to
To pay the bills
Back to the job now
İ gotta get paid
İ'm making money
İ'm getting' laid
Too much double talking
Too much i can't share
İ'm living here, brain lost
Don't know how to share
