Too Good to be True
Wow, I couldn't believe it
Couldn't believe I believed you
I asked ' Is it only me? '
You said 'yeah baby, it's just you'
Then you tried to run off
Did you think you'd succeed?
Oh well, cause you didn't
Just one less mouth to feed
But you thought you would win
And I would stop and lose
You must be living in April, baby
Cause you are a fool
We were like babies when we met
Then we grew up together
I must be in April too cause
I thought it would be forever
See, I don't run from problems
Problems run away from me
So, I guess, that you leaving
Makes me that much more free
I hope you're happy now, though
Now that we're through,
You think your stuff don't stink,
But you are Ms. P U.
Remember when I wrote you that poem?
About how I opened my heart, I put you in and locked it?
Here's another poem, but you weren't worth it
So I crumbled and burned it.
You were just too sweet
Thought to be my shining star
But I guess if your too good to be true
Then you usually are

I will not write a poem
For I am not a poet
I cannot makes things rhyme
I’ve tried for quite some time
So will I write a poem?
NO!
I can’t write poetry
I’ve tried to all my life
Once, I tried to write a poem
About a husband and his wife
It sounded really silly
So I crumbled it up into a ball
That’s why I decided
That I couldn’t write poetry at all
Am I gonna write a poem?
NO!
Well, I’ll try to write a poem
But it will be really bad
It will be absolutely lousy
It will be completely horrible
It won’t be up to snuff
People will say, “Who wrote this stuff? ”
Will my poem be good?
NO!

I Thought She Knew
She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh I guess I should have told her
I thought she knew
She said I took her for granted
That's the last thing I would do
Whoa I'll never understand it
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
My world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known
I should have known
A heart full of words left unspoken
Now that we're through
I'd sell my soul to have this silence broken
Oh I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
My world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known
I should have known
She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Whoa I guess I should have told her
But I thought she knew

Oooooooo
Oh I thought that she knew

I Never Thought Of This Poem
I never thought of this poem
It strolled into me, vividly
Forcing and obliging me
It urged me on despite resistance
I never thought of this poem
I never thought of this poem
It possessed and subdued me
It never left me alone, in peace
I could no longer resist its force
I never thought of this poem
I never thought of this poem
I gave in to it, to its wishes
I wrote it, I read it
It came out of me, liberating me
I never thought of this poem!

Never Say Never
Who would ever thought a guy
Would want a girl like me
Who would ever thought that I
Would fall so easily
Who would ever thought that we
Would finally come to be
I guess they don't know
How much you mean to me
Who would ever thought that they
Would have some words to say
We'll go on anyway
It's alright - it's okay
Take whatever comes our way
Together we will stay
I got three words to say
Never say never
I can't believe they'd stop our happiness
By trying to pull us down with such a mess
Why can't they let us live just like the rest
And keep us out of all this crazy madness
Now when they talk I think it's just a shame
That all they do is sit and think my name
When all that i do mainly
Sit and think about my baby and me
Now baby they can't believe that
You and me are together
That's why they should have never
Never said never
There were times when we thought that
You and me could never be together
That's why we should have never
Never said never
Now there's a lot of talkin' goin' round
About the way me and you are gettin' down
What are they jealous are they hatin' me
I guess they all have their own Ph.Ds
I wish that they would just stop sweatin' me
Stop tryin' to get the best of me
No matter what they say baby
We gotta move on cause we're gonna be happy
We didn't let the thoughts that we had
We didn't let the words that they said
Keep us from the love we now have
Never say never
Simply for me to see when
Never would've been never if allowed
Now that we are together
Never say never

I Thought Id Seen Everything
(r.j. mutt lange/huey lewis)
(track 7 - time 3:58)
Here I am a single guy
Ive seen a lot in this crazy life
There you are, what can I say
I guess you took my breath away
Something in your eyes took me by surprise
cause when I looked at you something you do
Is telling me more than I ever knew, oh baby
I thought Id seen everything, til I saw you
I thought Id seen everything baby I thought I knew
Now here I am alone with you
What am I supposed to do
Should I stay or should I go
Something tells me I should know
Its something in your touch that makes me feel so much
You took me by surprise I realize
And now I cant believe my eyes, oh baby
I thought Id seen everything, til I saw you
I thought Id seen everything, baby I thought I knew
Ive been around the world, seen a lot of girls
In and out of love til I had enough
I thought I had everything, til I had you, oh baby
Baby let your lovin take me all the way
I thought Id seen everything, til I saw you
I thought Id seen everything, baby I thought I knew
I thought Id seen everything, oh baby

My Love
When I first saw your face my heart skipped a beat,
and when you turned and smiled, I just couldn’t speak.
You did something to me that I still cannot explain
you were trapped in my mind and locked in my brain.
Whenever you came near me I trembled inside,
I felt so awkward, but my love couldn’t be denied.
You caused me to float on air and I just hovered along,
you made birds sing in my head, oh what sweet song.
I couldn’t believe it when you first spoke to me
you seemed to set all my inhibitions free.
I chatted away merrily making no sense at all
I think you even blushed, if I rightly recall.
And when I managed to ask you for a date that night
it still makes me cringe because I didn’t ask you right.
And when you said, “Yes”, but I still asked you again
because I couldn’t believe it, you must’ve thought me insane.
But now after four years I adore you even more,
you are the key that opens my life’s door.
Our baby is the flower that we gave to each other
and she reminds me so much of her loving mother.

Caught Up In You
I never knew there'd come a day
When I'd be sayin' to you
"Don't let this good love slip away
Now that we know that it's true."
Don't, don't you know the kind of man I am
No, said I'd never fall in love again
But it's real and the feeling comes shining through.
So caught up in you, little girl
And I never did suspect a thing
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never want to get myself free
And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me baby you taught me
How good it could be
It took so long to change my mind
I thought that love was a game
I played around enough to find
No two are ever the same
You made me realized the love I missed
So hot! Love I couldn't quite resist
When it's right the light just comes shining through.
So caught up in you, little girl
You're the one that's got me down on my knees
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never want to get myself free
And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me, baby you taught me
How good it could be
Fill your days and your nights
No need to ever ask me twice oh no
Whenever you want me
And if ever comes a day
When you should turn and walk away oh no
I can't live without you
So caught up in you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And if ever comes a day
When you should turn and walk away oh no
I can't live without you
So caught up in you, little girl
You're the one that's got me down on my knees
So caught up in you , little girl
That I never want to get myself free
And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me baby you taught me
How good it could be, little girl
You're the one that's got me down on my knees
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never want to get myself free
And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me and taught me
You got me so caught up in you

When You Want Something You Can't Have
I can still remember all the pain that I felt, I can't believe that back then the thought of you, or sound of your voice could make me melt
I can still remember all the pain that you caused and how in the end my heart was the one shattered in pieces on the floor, but what I can't believe is that after all that I just wanted you more
It was like I was the stupid moth to your flame, and in the end I got burned and have only myself to blame, I knew I couldn't have you but that didn't stop me from wanting you, I guess I hoped maybe deep down inside you wanted me too
I knew from the start liking you was pointless, but that didn't stop me and in the end I was the one cleaning up my big mess
To make matters worse you knew how I felt all along, I pegged you for a kind, sweet guy but in the end I guess I was wrong
Back then it felt like the worse kind of pain and it felt like i couldn't go on, but looking back on it now, I realized it made me smarter and it made me strong
So in the end even though I was the that was one hurting oh so bad, I must admit as I look back on it I'm kind of glad, because you taught me a valuable lesson in what happens when you want something you can't have

One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later)
I didn't mean to treat you so bad
You shouldn't take it so personal
I didn't mean to make you so sad
You just happened to be there, that's all
When I saw you say "goodbye" to your friend and smile
I thought that it was well understood
That you'd be comin' back in a little while
I didn't know that you were sayin' "goodbye" for good
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
That you just did what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you
I couldn't see what you could show me
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I couldn't see how you could know me
But you said you knew me and I believed you did
When you whispered in my ear
And asked me if I was leavin' with you or her
I didn't realize just what I did hear
I didn't realize how young you were
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
That your just doing what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you
I couldn't see when it started snowin'
Your voice was all that I heard
I couldn't see where we were goin'
But you said you knew an' I took your word
And then you told me later, as I apologized
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
An' I told you, as you clawed out my eyes
That I never really meant to do you any harm
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
That you a just did what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you

Maybe It's Me
All the time I thought it was you
Baby it might be me
I thought you never loved me
Maybe I don't love me
I thought that I knew what love was
Hell I don't even know me
Lost inside this head of mine
Trying to break free
From all those things
I thought would come in time
That never came to be
Oh I guess I've been the fool
For staying all this time
Now I know the real you
I guess I'm the one
That was blind

Forever
Bess:
Baby Im sad
I feel you inside every time
I breathe
When I kissed your mouth
You made me feel strong.
You were my life from that first kiss
I knew you better than I knew myself
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever
Houdini:
Baby I miss you too
I spent my life trying
To capture a dream
When I touched your face
I burned with desire
Though our souls are worlds apart
Youre living in my heart
Both:
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever
Interlude - scene: the escapes
Both:
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed
Goodbyes came to fast
Precious moments last
You were the only one
The one who could have made it
Last forever

My heart beats to the memory of you
Both:
Love is the only thing thats true
But I thought we had forever, baby
Id always be the one you needed

You were the only one
The one who could have made it

Four Times A Lady
Come on baby,
Well I got a little story,
Hey yeh,
Tell me are you with me,
Tell me are you with me,
Sing it,
Hey yeh,
Sing it sing it for me,
Hey yeh owhhh,
Tell me tell me baby,
All up in the crib on a Friday night,
Friday night,
Me and my guys looking oh so tight,
Oh so tight,
Bounce from the crib to the car,
From the car all the way to the bar,
Gotta wonder where you are,
Always loved you from afar,
Hope that,
Wait a minute there she is all up at the back,
Girl I really wanna come and get with you tonight,
Alright alright,
Owh girl you look so fine,
And I want you to be mine,
Well I had nothing to lose,
Thought I'd make my move,
Getting close to you is all I wanna do oh,
I can remember so clearly,
Trying to catch your eye,
You didn't notice me,
So Maybe,
Nows as good a time as ever,
Yeh,
So I asked her if she'd mind,
Could we share a little time,
Told me that would be just fine,
Couldn't believe I had her by my side,
Who'd ever thought she'd end up in my ride,
Straight to the top,
Girl you really make me hot,
Cos your just four times a lady,
Spinning around till the morning light,
Gonna be making sweet with her all through the night,
Straight to the top,
Girl you really make me hot,
Cos your just four times a lady,
Now she calls me up on the phone nearly everynight,
Just to make sure that i'm not feeling lonely,
Yeh,
She'd even come around telling me how she was feeling uptight,
Yeh,
Just so she could hold me,
So I said that take it all in for a minute,
She's the kinda girl you wanna have around who's all up in it,
Shes my everything,
Takes good care of me,
And she's all the things a girl's supposed to be,
Yeh,
I can't imagine living without you,
I love you,
Yes I do,
Never knew my dreams would all come true,
When I stopped to talk to you,
Saw you out with your girlfriends,
Thought she's so damn fine,
How I wish that she could be mine,
But everytime I saw her,
She'd always pass me by,
Never could catch her eye,
Couldn't believe I had her by my side,
Who'd ever thought she'd end up in my ride,
Straight to the top,
Girl you really make me hot,
Cos your just four times a lady,
Spinning around till the morning light,
Gonna be making sweet love with her all through the night,
Straight to the top,
Girl you really make me hot,
Cos your just four times a lady,
Now I must admit,
Since you came into my life,
Like a fairytale you made my world complete,
Ohhhh baby,
Well I feel you baby,
And the things you do,
Cos your everything more than a girls supposed to be,
And I really mean it baby,
And I want you to know,
Couldn't believe I had her by my side,
Who'd ever thought she'd end up in my ride,
Straight to the top,
Girl you really make me hot,
Cos your just four times a lady,
Spinning around till the morning light,
Gonna be making sweet love with her all through the night,
Straight to the top,
Girl you really make me hot,
Cos your just four times a lady (x2)
Your four times a lady,
Yes your are baby,
Your four,
Your four times a lady,
Oh yeh babe,
Oh yeh eh yehh,

Baby, baby I want you
Baby, and I need you

Infectious Thought
I
A poem like a thought
Ingratiates with time
When we write it's wrought
Into our rhyme
II
What is thought once
Is thought forever
Whether intellect it hunts
Or it's dull or clever
III
An ancient poem
And another's thought
We may call our own
So think we aught
IV
What binds us to those
We never knew
Is a poem or a prose
A thought our minds too
V
In this poem I
Think like me too
As I sit and think
only of you

Baby On My Mind
Baby on my mind
I can’t stop to think about you
It was hard for me to lose you
Half of me have died with you
But I know that you are free in heaven
Walking around
Being happy
Baby on my mind
I grieve the lose of you
Baby on my mind
In my dreams
I see you clear
You had blond hair and green eyes
You were a chubby baby
I hold you in my arms
In real life I will never see you
Or I will never know you
But I guess God was testing me for this
I’ve lost this battle this time
Baby on my mind
I hope I win the next battle
It is almost like being in a war
Lot’s of worries goes through my mind
Baby on my mind
I will provide you with every thing you need when you come
Baby on my mind
I want to be your mother
Forever
And be around to see you grow strong
Baby on my mind
I worried right now if you are going to be healthy?
I hope so
Baby on my mind
I don’t have the right to judge
Only God does

The Problems Of The World
THE PROBLEMS OF THE WORLD
The problems of the world-
The problems of my own little life-
Problems and problems and problems.
A poem solves no problems
It escapes into itself
And makes a small world
In which the poet can hide.
The poem is the other world
The one where there is quiet and peace and calm and love
And all which makes one’s own dreams
A morning song.
