The Last Thing On My Mind
Its a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, oh its made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul keeps on turning
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace for me to find
Well I could have loved you better
I didnt mean to be unkind
Oh you must know it was the last thing on my mind
As we walked all my thoughts they are a tumbling down down
Round and around, round and round
And underneath I hear the subways trumblin
Underground, underground
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Well I could have loved you better
I didnt mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
Youve got reasons of plenty for going
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growing
Please dont grow, please dont grow
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left to find
Well I could have loved you better
I didnt mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

The Last Thing On My Mind
Its a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh I couldve loved you better
Didnt mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
As we walk along my thoughts are tumblin
Round and round, round and round
Underneath our feet are someplace rumblin
Underground, underground
Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Oh I couldve loved you better
Didnt mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
Ive got reason a plenty for goin
This I know, this I know
The weeds have been steadily growin
Please dont go, please dont go
Are you going away
With no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I couldve loved you better
Didnt mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
Are you going away
With no word of farewell

Oh I couldve loved you better
Didnt mean to be unkind

Last Thing On My Mind
it's a lesson
too late for the learning
made of sand, made of sand
in the wink
of an eye my soul is turning
in your hand, in your hand
Chorus:
are you going away?
with no word of farewell
will there be not a trace
left behind.
well I could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
you know, that was the last thing on my mind
you got reasons a plenty for going
this I know, this I know
for the weeds
have been steadily growing
please don't go, please don't go.

Dont Know Why
I waited til I saw the sun
I dont know why I didnt come
I left you by the house of fun
I dont know why I didnt come
I dont know why I didnt come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But youll be on my mind
Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But Ill be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along
My heart is drenched in wine
But youll be on my mind
Forever
Something has to make you run
I dont know why I didnt come
I feel as empty as a drum
I dont know why I didnt come
I dont know why I didnt come
I dont know why I didnt come

A Simple Thing Like Cry
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
Dont you know I plan to spend
Every moment of my life with you
Now youre trying to tell me
That my dreams just wont come true
Thanks for giving me a million reasons why
But it hurts too bad to do
A simple thing like cry
If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt me so bad
Maybe I could
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
I could cry, cry
If it didnt hurt me
If I didnt love you
Hurt me

When Theres No Tomorrow
Didnt want to face a long hot summer
Didnt want to spend another lonely night
Didnt want to stay until I met you
You could tell that we were made for each other
Something in the air and the time was right
Came into my life, oh, I cant forget you
I dont want to leave tomorrow
Yes I said it all inside of a letter
That I put in your hand when we walked in the sand
Dont you understand
I dont want to go where theres no tomorrow
You go your way, Ill go mine
Each one missing what they left behind
I dont wanna go where theres no tomorrow
Help me try to make a dream come true
I dont wanna leave if I cant be with you
Wouldnt ever change a thing for a minute
Seems the waters always deeper when youre in it
Thats the way it goes
Not the way I planned it
I dont want to leave without you
I dont want to go if you wont follow
Told you once, tell you once again
I dont want this summer to ever end
Gonna be there when I can

Just To Keep You Satisfied
(m. gaye/a. gaye/e. stover)
You were my life, my hopes and dreams
For you to understand what this means
I shall explain
I stood all the jealousy all the bitching too
Yes I forgot all once in bed with you
Ooh darling how could we end up like this
Ooh baby let me reminisce
And when we ooh we stopped the hands of time
You set my soul on fire my one desire was to love you
And think of you with pride and to keep you satisfied
Ooh baby, ooh baby
We could not bear the mans astray
Leave you I never meant to
Now you see how much you hurt me
But if you ever need me Ill be by your side
Though the many happy times we had
Can never really outweigh the bad
I never loved nobody like I loved you baby
Now its time for us to say farewell
Farewell my darling
Maybe well meet down the line
Its too late for you and me
Its too late for you and i
Much too late for you to cry
Its to late for you and me
Much to late for you and i
Its too late for you and me
Much too late
We tried God knows we tried
Didnt we didnt we didnt we try
God knows we tried
Its too late for you and me
Much too late for you to cry
We stopped the hands of time
Ooh ooh
Its too late for you and i

Prodigal
Hes never going back
Refuses to be left behind
He doesnt understand
How they so easily made up their minds
You had it in your hands
So how is it so hard to find?
You still dont understand
The reason youve been treated so unkind
Theres nowhere left for you to hide
Afraid and bound by your design
If you dont know what youre looking for
What will you find?
You need a little time
Do you can get your head around your mind
If you dont know what youre looking for
What will you find?
Something you dont like?
You never get it back
Do whats the point in killing time?
You still dont understand the reason
Youve been treated so unkind

Train In Vain
Ohh
Ohh
You say you stand, by your man
Tell me something, I dont understand
You said you loved me, and thats a fact
The you left me, said you felt trapped
Well, some things you cant explain away
And the heartaches with me till this day
You didnt stand by me
No, not at all
You didnt stand by me
No way
All the times, when we were close
Ill remember, these things the most
I see all my walls come tumblin down
I cant be happy, without you around
So alone, I keep the wolves at bay
And theres only one thing I can say
You didnt stand by me
No, not at all
You didnt stand by me
No way
You must explain...why this must be
Did you lie...when you spoke to me?
Did you stand be me?
No, not at all
Now I got a job, but it dont pay
I need new clothes, I need somewhere to stay
But without all of these things I can do
But without your love, I wont see it through
But you dont understand my point of view
I suppose there nothing I can do
You didnt stand by me
No, not at all
You didnt stand by me
No way
You didnt stand by me
No, not at all
You didnt stand by me
No way
You must explain...why this must be
Did you lie...when you spoke to me?
Did you stand be me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?

Hit The Freeway
[loon:]
And we dont stop, no ma
Whats the problem?
Always complain
When this chicks starving
What type of game is this?
I used to support ya
I thought yad appreciate
Somebody thinks that I bought ya
Shoes from milan, luis vuitton
Animals off back
And jewels in your arm
Mamie, theres nothing in me
Moves with the dawn
Loon a big fish
Who them fools in the park
[toni:]
Just when I made up my mind, I dont put you out, oh now
You had your chance you owned me, what makes you wanna call now
Can you try to tell me what made you choose her as your friend?
(I told you it was a friend baby)
Just when I think youve given up, its you again
All I can say
Farewell my lonely one
Nothing else you cant deny (so hit the freeway)
I dont ever wanna see you again
You didnt do me right so
So along, goodbye, goodnight (so hit the freeway)
Maybe in some other life
I will see you again.
I worry about the dow jones, if then compared to our fun, yeah
Imagine how crushed she was if you said I was not the one
(I didnt mean it girl, sorry about that)
My friends say I was in denial defending you as a perfect friend
No new rules must have raisen up, its you again
All I can say
Farewell my lonely one
Nothing else you cant deny (so hit the freeway)
I dont ever wanna see you again (sing it girl)
You didnt do me right so
So long, goodbye, goodnight (so hit the freeway)
Maybe in some other life
I will see you again.
[bridge]
But now that you left me
Crazy you upset me
You know you could have kept me
But baby you didnt get me on
To finally discover
Explore, uncover
The world as we know it
But you had to go and blow it
Damn its been so long since I heard your voice last summer
To be honest it made me smile, when I seen your number
(hey baby, you know I miss you, ha ha)
Baby, tell me what I should be instead of being your friend (you know)
And maybe someday in your dreams my love
You could say, damn its you again!
Now all I can say
Farewell my lonely one
Nothing else you cant deny (so hit the freeway)
I dont ever wanna see you again
You didnt do me right so
So long, goodbye, goodnight (so hit the freeway)
Maybe in some other life
Ill see you again.

Cruel Young Lover
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Just because you can
You treat me like a fool
But just because you can
Dont make it right
Can it be so hard
To be a little kind
And you could be here
With me tonight
Ive got feelings
Dont be unkind
Feelings
Dont be unkind
Feelings
Stay with me tonight
Youve been stealing
Thats so unkind
Stealing
A heart, a mind
Stealing
Stay with me tonight
Cruel young lover
Blow your mind out
Time will come when
You will find out
Time will take your cruel power away
Cruel young lover
Try to stand out
Will it always pay
To bland out?
Time will take your cruel power away
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Once again youre gone
Somewhere in the night
Disappearing
Leaving me alone
The lure of city streets
The pull of unknown souls
The overpowering draw
Of the unknown
Youve been stealing
Thats so unkind
Stealing
A heart, a mind
Im appealing
Stay with me tonight
Cruel young lover
Hit the action
Can you live on your attraction
Time may take your cruel power away
Cruel young lover
Try to stand out
Will it always pay
To bland out?
Time will take your cruel power away
Cruel young lover
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah

Dont Think Twice, Its Alright
Well it aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It dont matter anyhow
And it aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you dont know by now
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and Ill be gone
Youre the reason Im travelling on
Dont think twice its all right
Well it aint no use in turning on your light, babe
Light Ive never known
Aint no use in turning on the light, babe
Im on the dark side of the road
Wish there was something you could do or say
Something to make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
Dont think twice, its all right
And it aint no use in calling out my name, gal
Like youve never done before
It aint no use in calling out my name, gal
I cant hear you anymore
Im thinking and a wondering, walking down that road
I once loved a woman - a child Im told
Gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul
Dont think twice, its all right
So long, honey-babe
Where i'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word babe
Ill just say, fare thee well
I aint saying you treated me unkind
You couldve done better, but I dont mind
You just kind of wasted my precious time
Dont think twice, its all right

Sinking In
This is a drag that its too late now.
And I wanted to tell you that I was wrong.
I didnt realize I still hold on to you but I still do.
Was it that I turned everyone against you.
Was it that I didnt defend you.
Was it that I never had your back.
Was it that I was always trying to save you and you never wanted me to.
Or was it that I loved you.
You dont seem to see me sinking in do you.
Youre not content in your own head are you.
You just want to kick me once again dont you.
Dont you baby.
I did it again.
I dont stop paying.
You dont look so good to me my friend.
Is it because of me I really left this time.
Did you ever say goodbye.
Was it that I had a crush on your friend.
Was it that I left for another man.
Was it that I didnt know.
That you were in over your head and I didnt see what I had did i.
No, I didnt and uh.
(chorus)
Was it that everyone would just kiss my ass.
I couldnt see through it and you could.
And now look whats come of us here ten years later.
I jump from one to the other, youre still worrying your mother.
And I almost went under baby.

What Should I Say
What should I say,
Since faith is dead,
And truth away
From you is fled?
Should I be led
With doubleness?
Nay, nay, mistress!
I promised you,
And you promised me,
To be as true
As I would be.
But since I see
Your double heart,
Farewell my part!
Though for to take
It is not my mind,
But to forsake
[One so unkind]
And as I find,
So will I trust:
Farewell, unjust!
Can ye say nay?
But you said
That I alway
Should be obeyed?
And thus betrayed
Or that I wiste--
Farewell, unkissed.

Beautiful Mind
A beautiful mind or a beautiful body
I know which one Im gonad end upon
You say you will but you never promised thoughts
A smile and a hand mix like water with sand
As far as youre concerned
A road and a sign I know which one catches my eyes
And i, thought I heard it for a while
Then it all came to me
Sometimes I just dont know I believe in
Dont you wanna know when I suffer
It doesnt show
A smile and a hand mix like water with sand dont you know?
I was thinking about moving back home
I dont really need to live here
No no I didnt I could Im sure I would if I knew that
I didnt I could Im sure I would if I knew that
A smile and a hand mix like water with sand
As far as youre concerned
A beautiful mind or a beautiful body
I know which one, Im gonad end upon end upon

Dont Break The Promises
You know I cannot always be there with you
When something crazy takes me far away
We must stick together through this madness
Ive got so many things I want to say
Too many forces try to come between us
So little time to share and talk to you
If I show my hand to you in panic
Please remember what Im going through
Ive loved you forever
But it seems like a day
And I want to be there with you
I didnt want it this way
Dont think I dont trust in you
I just needed to say
Dont break the promises
That we made today, oh no
Dont break the promises
Do you remember counting every moment
Before the world we knew was torn apart
Now when I close my eyes I can be with you
But are we really dancing in the dark
A bad connection leads us to confusion
Were all too easily misunderstood
Oh weve been together through these nightmares
And now weve got a chance to make it good
Ive loved you forever
But it seems like a day
And I want to be there with you
I didnt want it this way
Dont think I dont trust in you
I just needed to say
Dont break the promises
That we made today, oh no
Dont break the promises
That we made today
Dont you break the promises
(dont break the promises, promises)
If you do youll be breaking my heart
(dont break the promises that you made)
Oh dont forget the things we said
(promises, promises)
At the start oh no
Ive loved you forever
But it seems like a day
And I want to be there with you
I didnt want it this way
Dont think I dont trust in you
I just needed to say
Dont break the promises
That we made today, oh no
Dont break the promises
That we made today
Dont break the promises
That we made today

Farewell
Farewell! Oh how hard and how sad 'tis to speak
That last word of parting—forever to break
The fond ties and affection that cling round the heart
From home and from friends and from country to part.
'Though it grieves to remember, 'tis vain to regret.
The sad word must be spoken, and memory's spell
Now steals o'er me sadly. Farewell! Oh farewell!
Farewell to thy green hills, thy valleys and plains,
My poor blighted country! In exile and chains
Are the sons doomed to linger. Of God who didst bring
Thy children to Zion from Egypt's proud king,
We implore Thy great mercy! Oh stretch forth Thy hand,
And guide back her sons to their poor blighted land.
Never more thy fair face am I destined to see;
E'en the savage loves home, but 'tis crime to love thee.
God bless thee, dear Erin, my loved one, my own,
Oh! how hard 'tis these tendrils to break that have grown
Round my heart. But 'tis over, and memory's spell
Now stears o'er me sadly. Farewell! Oh, Farewell!

Song. The Farewell
Bid me sigh it in thine ear,
I may scarce its utterance tell;
Bid me hide it in a tear,
'Tis the word—farewell! farewell!
When away you may forget
O'er the parting scene to dwell,
I will treasure fondly yet
The sad word—farewell! farewell!
Still its knell is on mine ear,
Still do sighs my bosom swell,
Still unbidden flows the tear
O'er that word—farewell! farewell!
Go—forget—when all is past,
Love which then may lose its spell,
Yet a love like mine must last
Beyond the word—farewell! farewell!

Wish I Didnt Know Now
(toby keith)
I never ask you where your goin,
I never ask you where youve been
Ive never called and checked your story,
When you stayed out with all your friends
Ive never tried to catch you lyin,
I didnt want to know the truth
Id rather go on lovin blind girl,
Than go on lovin without you
I wish I didnt know now what I didnt know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
Im not sayin its you,
You could never be true
I just dont wanna know how it ends
Youd still have my heart in the palm of your hands
Id still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah, I wish somehow I didnt know now what I didnt know then
Ive always said what I dont know
Couldnt hurt as bad as leavin you
Turns out I knew what I was thinkin,
It aint an easy thing to do,
Well I guess I should be goin
I sure found out too much to stay,
Please dont say your sorry
I might wait another day
I wish I didnt know now what I didnt know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
Im not sayin its you,
You could never be true
I just dont wanna know how it ends
Youd still have my heart in the palm of your hands
Id still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah, I wish somehow I didnt know now what I didnt know then
Youd still have my heart in the palm of your hand
Id still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah, I wish somehow I didnt know now what I didnt know then
Yeah, I wish somehow I didnt know now what I didnt know then
