Blue-Eyed Metaphor
Love is just a game we play
At least that’s what they say
But then the man in the moon
Disappeared and abandoned his stage
You left with all your good intentions
Like a dress laid out but then neglected
Left me in a state I cannot mention
You’re just a blue-eyed metaphor
For all that’s wrong with this life
Words deliver my frustrations
Give love my consolations
I’ve taken all I can stomach
And it’s time I move on to better days
Go ahead and forge
A picture in my mind
I’ll try my best to forget
Because your love is as valid
As promises born from
A bottle of whiskey on a Saturday night
I don’t sleep to dream
And you are living on cloud nine
Keep on playing your childish games
But I’m cashing in my chips
I’ve got my own hell to raise
You’re just a blue-eyed metaphor
For all that’s wrong with this life
Words deliver my frustration
Give love my consolations
I’ve taken all I can stomach
And it’s time I move on to better days
Cause I’d be better off to slit my wrists
Then give your love another chance
There will be no more fairy tale twists
For all you could teach me
You would teach me this:
To take the pain out of living
Is to create a world
Where love doesn’t exist
I’ve played the game and watched it fade
I’m sorry; it’s just not an even trade

Sonnet: To the Nicest Person I Know
I love the way you dress and walk all days;
I love the way you move with friends and peers;
I love the way you teach and talk always;
I love the way you comfort ones in tears!
I love the way you make your mind so clear;
I love the way you think of God and pray;
I love the way you give advice and hear;
I love the way you fast and abstain, aye!
I love the way you help your students, mates;
I love the way you ignore gossip rife;
I love the way you keep your words and dates;
I love the way you stood steadfast all life.
I love the way you played the role of Dean;
I love the way, a friend nice you had been!

The Game Is Over
This song was first released on the whose garden was this? album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Time, there was a time
You could talk to me without speaking
You would look at me and Id know
All there was to know
Days, I think of you
And remember the lies we told
In the night, the love we knew
The things we shared when our hearts were beating together
Days, that were so few
Full of love and you
Gone, the days are gone now
Days, that seem so wrong now
Life, wont be the same
Without you to hold again in my arms
To ease the pain and remember
When our love was a reason for living
Days, that were so few
Full of love and you
The game is over

No One Can Love You More
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love (give you all my love)
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
I used to be on my own
Every night, every day by myself
Feeling so far from home
How would I know I would go
Down the road that would lead me right into your arms
Destiny told me that you were the one
Stars fill the sky now I've finally found you
Chorus:
No one can love you more
No one can give it all
I'm gonna give you all my loving
No one can love you more
I'll give you my heart and soul
Feel it deep down inside
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love (give you all my love)
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
I thought I was wasting time
Living in hope that I'd find a new love
Love can be so unkind
How could it be you and me took so long
To discover that dreams do come true
Everything's changed since the day I met you
The sun's gonna shine every time we're together
(Chorus 2x)
Yesterday has gone
And from this moment on you will see
This will be a forever lasting love
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
(Chorus 2x)
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
No one can love you more 3x

Something Special
Maurice white, wayne vaughn & wanda vaughn
Love is like something special
Compared to none, its pure celestial
The game of love and life is here to stay
Day by day, your heart will find a way to win
Love is like the same ole game we use to play
Hide and seek from yesterday is still in play
Love is like something special
Burns like fire and keeps you warm
To play the game of love and not get burned
Win or lose, learn the rules, its all in livin
Love is like the same ole game we use to play
Hide and seek from yesterday is still in play
Love and games, the burning flame
Love and games, remains the same
Love and games, the same ole pain
Love is like something special
Your fragrance is the spice if life
The game of love, it seems to have no age
Wind the clock, move the hands, now lets turn the page

Give Me Your Love
Baby why do you not love me
Why do you not see me in the light that I see you in
Dont you ever need me in the still of the night
Ive been there in your shoes
Feeling strong, feeling innocence
Nothing short of a miracle could make it make sense
Oh darling
Chorus:
I gave you the moon, the stars above
You think you would give me your love
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love
I know all thats in your rulebook
I took more than one look
And I know you are the proud type
But I hate game playing, yes I know how to win
But its not fair to me
You should move cause youre wanting to
Not because I fly
Can you only view your dreams when theyre
Up there in the sky
Oh, darlin...
Chorus:
I gave you the moon, the stars above
You think you would give me your love
Oh, darling, yes you would
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love
Chorus
I gave you the moon, the stars above
You think you would give me your love
Come on, give it to me
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love
Oh, give me, give me, give me, give me
The stars above
You think you would give me your love
Your love, your love, your love, your love, love
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love

My Mother: The Best In The World
My Mother: The Best in the World! !
You are always there for me
Only and only for me
The role model of my life
Your love and affection
Always encourages me on different stages of life
I respect you a lot, mother I love you a lot.
You know exactly what to say and do
You're always there when I'm feeling blue
I fall down and hurt my knee
But you always there for me
you pick me up, pat my head
Careful next time is what you say
When I am scared you hold my hand
Explain things I don't understand
you teach what I need to know
the things that help me to learn and grow
You know exactly what to say and do
you’re always there when I'm feeling blue
When I was learning to draw
and it was getting real tough
you didn't let me quit said not to give up
Well, I love you mom
I gave you a flower, true love is power
Hug me for what seem like hours
Put it in a vase and smiled for days
you always said you're proud of me
One word will not do, I need two more
To say I love you, and another I love you mom
Throw up my hands, scratch my head
What's the best gift that I can give
You just said it, oh yeah I love you mom
I love you mom, I love you mom
You know exactly what to say and do
you’re always there when I'm feeling blue
you know I love you mama
Oh, yes you know it's true
you know that I love you mom.

Here Am I
I sit in my sunny chair
With my head held low
I know the reason Im dreaming
Its really been fun
But where is there left to go
Save to give my life a new meaning
And if by chance
Youd come my way
Ill have to say
Here am i, give me love
Here am i, give me love
How was I to know
Your heart was unsatisfied
When you never troubled to tell me
No wish that you made to me
Ever was denied
I played it just the way
That it should be
But then you turned
And walked away
I have to say
Here am i, give me love
Here am i, give me love
Here am i, give me love
I imagine I must sit here
Till the winter comes
And just watch the days
Growing shorter
To gather in dust wont go
Till my thinkings done
And I walk from this troubled water
By then my need wont be so bad
And Ill gladly say
Here am i, give me love
Here am i, give me love ...

R U Sure About That?
Can you try to hide
What's in your heart
What's on your mind
Can you carry on
Like nothing's wrong
Go on and on
Are you sure about that
You've been pushed
You've been shoved
You've been left and unloved
Oh why do you still stay
So many tears that you cry every night
But ya know your life doesn't have to be this way
You got hurts deep inside
It's only right that someone should say
Can't forget all the scars
He left on your heart
All the promises he made
You've gotta let it out girl
You've gotta let it go
You've got give it up
If you really wanna know
The truth about life girl
The secret of love
Is living inside you
It's dying to break through
the walls around your heart
Can you try to hide
What's in your heart
What's on your mind
Can you carry on
Like nothing's wrong
Go on and on
Are you sure about that
You've been up
You've been down
You've been all around
You broke all the rules
It was good for awhile
You hid behind a smile
But now you're broken
And you're bruised
Have you ever considered
that life is a invitation for you
to decide in your mind
to accept or decline the reality of truth
You've gotta let it out boy
You've gotta let it go
You've got it give it up
If you really wanna know
The truth about life boy
The secret of love
You've done it your way for so long
So tell me when's enough enough
Can you try to hide
What's in your heart
What's on your mind
Can you carry on
Like nothing's wrong
Go on and on

I'm so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long
Just...
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Thru this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over, and give us some room
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
So don't you stop, being a man
Just take a little look from our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
It's all I wanna be is all woman
For this is the beginning of forever and ever
It's time to move over

i'm playing take my mind off my heart.

Slow Train
How can you live in such a state?
Your mind is empty and you're full of hate
The things you say and the things you do
Mark you down as a helpless fool
I know, I know, I know, I know
It's gonna be all right through the night
Tomorrow comes and you're full of shame
Oh baby! You play the crying game
Aaaah...
Gonna be a long time baby
Before we get it sorted out all right
I'll drag you out to Utopia, baby
[?We'll end up heading?] south
I need, I need, I need to know
If you gonna do me right
If you do the things I ask of you
I'll tell the world tonight
He he he he hee... All right
You do me right, you do me wrong
Tell me, where do I belong?
You do me up, you do me down
I accept it all without a frown
You love like a woman in a fantasy
Ha ha ha I admire you for my dream
You dream of life and you dream of [???]
High enough but I'm back again
I love, I love, I love the funny ways
Oh you throw me in a daze
If you ever left me woman
I'd destroy myself, sure as hell
Aaaah...
We're gonna ride a slow train baby
And take all the whistles stops oh no - yes we are
We'll put down the blinds while the carriage flies
[?The engine burns hot?] while the fuzz is going on
So I'll burn its [???] to ash
Well there's a life to live and there's love to give
Ready! Steady! Smash!
Alright! Yeah! Uh mmh!
You just got to be out of your head
Whe you say you'll go look for the bottom of the top
Well I'll be waiting and won't give it a rest

Takin' A Chance On Love
Writers: LatoucheFetterDuke
Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought that cards were a frame-up
I never would try
But Now I'm taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high
Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love
(Instrumental break)
Here I slip again
About to take that tip again
Got my grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
In the grove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On the ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love

Promised You A Miracle
Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering
Chance as love takes a train
Summer breeze and brilliant light
One love she sees
He controls on love
Love sails to a new life
Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering
Only love she sees
He controls on love
Life mirrors a cure
Everything is possible
With promises
Everything is possible
Oh no
I promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering
Chance reflects on them a while
Love screams so quietly
Slipping back on golden times
Breathing with sweet memories
Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering
Only love she sees
He controls on love
Life mirrors a cure
Everything is possible in the game of life
Everything is possible
Oh no
Chance lost pearls of great price
Take care of family
Only aches for love
Love waits for fame
In chance in chance theyll see
I promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering
Only love she sees
He controls on love
Life throws a cure
Everything is possible in the game of life
A burning dream
You can be queen
Everything is possible

Give Up

Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
You better listen well
When I tell you
To be on the look out
You cant call for help
cause I know you inside out
Despite all your hideouts
Im no great pretender
Ill make you surrender
So come along quietly
Heres a thought to remember
I have not met a man yet
To escape from my drag-net
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Ill give you just the facts man
And you can draw all your own conclusions
Ill keep your mind surrounded
With chains of love so strong
You cant break through them
My arsenal is stocked
With all kinds of seductive weapons
Although your hearts locked up
My love will assist me
So that you cant resist me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me

The Game of Life
Life is a game at which we play.
We make our moves on every day.
Some are right and some are wrong.
We usually look back as we move along.
But looking back doesn't change how we've played
unless you learn from mistakes you've made.
Few are winners and too many lose.
For the games's unfair and when you choose
a move that's not right you later regret
what you did. For you don't forget.
But since life's only a game we play
when the game is finished we finally say
'I should have done this or should have done that'
We fail to recognize that where we're at
is exactly where we should be.

Good Love
(j.p. maunick/p.hinds)
If you believe that you get out what you put in
You better move on cos theres no time to fool around
All the right intentions & promises dont mean a thing
If you cant get the job done
If you insist on making life a compromise
Youre gonna wake up to find your world has come undone
All the right intentions & promises are never enough
And soon you find it all gone
Now time has come, make up your mind to be real
Baby, baby, baby
Chorus:
Good love, precious & gifted
Cant stand waitin forever
Good love, no greater feelin
No one could ever deny
Stop wastin all the good love
Youre takin your time comin to let me know
Now you better decide cos theres a limit to your games
Let your intuition lead you on
Follow the signs to the place you belong
If you believe that you get out what you put in
You better move on cos theres no time to fool around
All the right intentions & promises dont mean a thing
If you cant get the job done
Now time has come, make up your mind to be real
Baby, baby, baby
Chorus x 2
Dont go wastin good love
Now time has come, make up your mind to be real
Baby, baby, baby
