My Thief
When I go to sleep, you become my thief
Why dont you steal what you can keep?
But you wont let me be
You break into my dreams
And every day seems different
Sometimes I pretend youll come back again
And youll console the heart you stole
Have pity on the man
Who knows that you have gone
And has begun to break down
I feel almost possessed
So long as I dont lose this glorious distress then
You can take all I have left
I know its over
If you cant be my lover
Be my thief
Im so drowsy now, Ill unlock the door
What fades in time will hurt much more
So heres that happy scene
Where you come back to me
Its only found in fiction
I feel almost possessed
So long as I dont lose this glorious distress then
You can take all I have left
I know its over
If you cant be my lover
Be my thief
I didnt lead you on,
But there will always be
A little larceny in everyone
So hush and dont you cry
Im trying to be kind
Because I have a perfect alibi

I Dont Want To Lose You
You left this morning on an early plane
You left your picture behind to haunt me
You left in a steady rain
You say youll miss me, say you want me
Im left this mornin with a world of doubt
Im left this mornin indecently exposed
So much we never did talk about
And your kiss goodbye, said the case is closed
(chorus)
I dont want to lose you
I dont want to lose the best love that Ive ever found
Dont want to lose you
Why didnt I cry when you said goodbye
Why didnt I break down, break down and say
I dont want to lose you
We met last night in a public place
And your new lover was just across the street
But tears washed across your face
Girl I wanted to, hold you close to me
I dont want to lose you
I dont want to lose the best love that Ive ever found
Dont want to lose you
Why didnt I cry when you said goodbye
Why didnt I break down, break down
I remember all the things that we did
The warmth of your smile
And your tender touch
I always knew I cared about you girl
I just didnt know how much

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

Money & Milk
You want to live so perfect
In a world of money and milk
Your time goes by
Its so sad to see
Expose to lose your ground
Ill never be around
You dont try enough
So you wont get it
You dont try enough
Youll never get it
Perhaps we live in peradise
And maybe noone cares
Miricles everyday, everywhere
All the little fates you dont see
Ill never let them down
They ever be around
You dont try enough
So you wont get it
You dont try enough
Youll never get it
You dont try enough
So you wont get it
You dont try enough
Youll never get it
I will never have it

Guilty Partner
Listen to me
I know what Im saying
But lord it dont come easy
To admit that I was wrong
It took me far too long
I counted on you
To give me a reason
Why the sun dont shine in the season
Grey sky surrounded me
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from no other
Youre not being cool with me
cause I always know youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
cause I always know
What it takes to make you my lover
You once said to me
That I was a cruel man
And you know
That I almost believed you
I was blind, and I couldnt see
You took my sight from me
And all of these words
And all this emotion
Cant explain my hopeless devotion
Or change what had to be
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from no other
Youre not being cool with me
cause I always know that youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from no other
Youre not being cool with me
cause I always know that youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from another
Its no good being cool with me
cause I always know
What it takes to make you my lover

Dont You Know
Dont ya know, dont ya know
That it hurts to be treated like a fool?
A dont ya know, dont ya know
That its mean and its oh so cruel?
When you said you were home
It was just a lie
You were seen on the town
With another guy
Gonna break my heart in two
Oh baby dont ya know?
A dont ya know, dont ya know
That your cheatins breakin us apart?
A dont ya know, dont ya know
That youll tear my soul apart?
Why must you go foolin round every other boy
And just push me away like a broken toy
Baby feel so bad inside, oh baby dont ya know?
(instrumental)
Oh dont ya know, dont ya know
Its a foolish thing that you do?
A dont ya know, dont ya know
It could easily turn on you?
cause they say its a game only one can play
And you might be the one to get hurt someday
It could be your turn to cry
Oh baby dont ya know?
Oh dont ya know oh oh baby
Dont ya know?

Dont Go Back To Rockville
[ original version by r.e.m. ]
Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place thats far, so far away and if thats not enough
Going where nobody says hello, they dont talk to anybody they dont
Know
Youll wind up in some factory thats full time filth and nowhere left
To go
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
Youll be coming back before too long
Dont go back to rockville
And waste another year
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I dont care if youre not here with me
cause its so much easier to handle
All my problems if Im too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or its gonna be too late to bring you back
Its not as though I really need you
If you were here Id only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
Thats not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
Youll be coming back before too long

Janey, Dont You Lose Heart
You got your book baby with all your fears
Let me honey and Ill catch your tears
Ill take your sorrow if you want me to
Come tomorrow
Thats what Ill do
Listen to me
Janey dont you lose heart
Janey dont you lose heart
Janey dont you lose heart
Janey dont you lose heart
Well you say you got no new dreams to touch
You feel like a stranger babe who knows too much
You come home late and get undressed
You lie in bed and feel this emptiness
Well listen to me
Janey dont you lose heart
Janey dont you lose heart
Janey dont you lose heart
Janey dont you lose heart
Till every river it runs dry
Until the suns torn from the sky
Till every feel youve felt burst free
Gone tumblin down into the sea
Listen to me
Janey dont you lose heart

Janey dont you lose heart

Why Dont You Find Out For Yourself
The sanest days are mad
Why dont you find out for yourself ?
Then youll see the price
Very closely
Some men here
They have a special interest
In your career
They wanna help you to grow
And then syphon all your dough
Why dont you find out for yourself ?
Then youll see the glass
Hidden in the grass
Youll never believe me, so
Why dont you find out for yourself ?
Sick down to my heart
Thats just the way it goes
Some men here
They know the full extent of
Your distress
They kneel and pray
And they say :
Long may it last
Why dont you find out for yourself ?
Then youll see the glass
Hidden in the grass
Bad scenes come and go
For which you must allow
Sick down to my heart
Thats just the way it goes
Dont rake up my mistakes
I know exactly what they are
And ... what do you do ?
Well ... you just sit there
Ive been stabbed in the back
So many many times
I dont have any skin
But thats just the way it goes

The Feeling That We Have
(charlie smalls)
Put your arms around me child
Like when you bumped your shin
Then youll know I love you now
As I loved you then
Though you maybe trying sometimes
And Ill need you
And youre not there
You know I may get mad
And turn away
But you know that I still care
But you cannot ask for more
Than can come from me
I am older than you are
And one day youll see
If I lose my patience with you
And I suddenly start to scream
Its only because I just want you to be
Everything that I see in my dreams
And Id like to know its there
The feeling that we have
When you know that you can come
Running to me
Whenever times are bad
Dont lose the feeling that we have
Dont lose the feeling that we have
Though you are growing older now
And Im watching you grow
I know I make you sad sometimes
And I see your feeling show
But one day Ill look around
And you will be grown
Youll be out in the world
Such a pretty girl
Youll be on your own
And Id like to know its there
The feeling that we have
Knowing that you can come to me
Whenever you are sad
And Id like to know its there
The feeling that we have
Dont lose the feeling that we have
Dont lose the feeling that we have
Dont lose the feeling that we have

Crime Pays
Music: hall
Lyrics: hall/oates/s. allen
I know you know all the pros and cons
They help you get to everything you want
Greasing policemen bending all the rules
Make them an offer that they cant refuse
One crime baby I cant forgive
The kind that hurts where I live
Im a nice guy I try to wait and see
If youll get caught or go free
You stole my heart and left me blue
It look like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seem like crime pays
Crime pays
Beat the heat but you couldnt pay me off
Youre staying cool no matter what it costs
You get caught youll never do the time
I have to say youve got a way with one crime baby I cant forgive
The kind that hurts where I live
Its all too clear but I still dont see
Why all the guilty go free
You stole my heart and left me blue
It look like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seems like crime pays
Crime pays
It seems like crime pays
Crime pays
Catch a thief and let her go
You wont get back the love she stole
Shake her down but she dont mind
cause she commit the perfect crime ok, ok
You know I know youre a pro and con artiste
Oh baby youre a false alarm
Why do I try to play it by the rules
I was the victim but Im not a fool
You stole my heart and left me blue
It looks like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seems like crime pays

Hearts Fall
Edwin McCain
Hearts Fall
Pin feathers, dusty old wings
Living all my crazy never-land dreams
And I feel her trying when were apart
And I feel like dying
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And how she loves me, I dont understand
And if time wont change me, perhaps she can
And I feel her trying when were apart
And I feel like dying
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
My selfish anger and I just run away
But a perfect heart always makes me stay
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
God dont let me break her heart
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places
And the hearts fall in the right places

Id Like To Leave If I May
How can I meet other girls when you wont let me go
My hearts still in a whirl and gee I feel so low
I dont know why I feel this way
Id like to leave if I may
I cant go to play ,you have got a hold on me
You make me work all day
Why dont you set me free
Youre on my mind almost all hours of the day
Id like to leave if I may
Its plain to see that I dont need ya anymore
Why dont you stay beside , and let me through the door
I know that in my life Ive made one big mistake
Youll only hurt me more if we dont make the break
Im telling you , so hear what I say
Id like to leave if I may
Its plain to see that I dont need ya anymore
Why dont you stay beside , and let me through the door
I know that in my life Ive made one big mistake
Youll only hurt me more if we dont make the break

Should I Wait
(david smalley)
Dont you know youre gonna lose
If you love somebody that dont love you?
Youll believe him when hes untrue
But I cant bear seein him break your heart in two
Ive let it happen much too long
Should I wait, hopin youll find out on your own?
Its me whos loved you for so long
If he hurts you with his lies
Dont let it take too long to open your eyes
Youre gonna see through his disguise
But I cant bear seein him break your heart in two
Im tired of tryin to play it cool
Should I wait, hopin youll find out on your own?
The one you love is just a fool
If I had the chance Id make you see
When you fall in love how it should be
A love that makes you sad can only turn out bad
So Ill be hangin round until youre free
Dont you know youre gonna lose
If you love somebody that dont love you?
Youll believe him when hes untrue
But I cant bear seein him break your heart in two

I Dont Want To See You Again
(jackson leap)
I dont want to see you
cause I dont want to feel you
Dont look so surprised
I told you that Id say good-bye
If you couldnt just make up your mind
You keep saying love can wait
But I cant and its too late
This old heart has just run out of time
I dont want to see you
cause I dont want to feel you
I dont want a love that I cant win baby
I dont want you to call
cause if I cant have it all
I dont want to see you again
When your new life gets you down
Dont be tempted to come around
Just think of all the times I let you slide
And when your teardrops finally come
Youll realize that Im the one
But I wont be there when its your turn to cry
I dont want to see you
cause I dont want to feel you
I dont want a love that I cant win baby
I dont want you to call
cause if I cant have it all
I dont want to see you
I dont want to see you

I dont want a love that I cant win baby

They Dont Break em Like They Used To
(roger brown/jason sellers)
Youre here in my arms right where you say you wanna be
While across the room I watch the one who set you free
It didnt take me long to mend the heart she tore in two
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
I bet she thought that wounded pride of yours would never heal
But you dont have one single scar as far as I can feel
And I see nothing but perfection when I look at you
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
They dont break em like they used to, darling thats for sure
Were living proof theres nothing that true love cant cure
We put the pieces back together now youre good as new
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
All the tears have disappeared without a trace
Makes me think that heartaches dont last as long these days
We put the pieces back together now youre good as new
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
They dont break em like they used to, darling thats for sure
Were living proof theres nothing that true love cant cure
We put the pieces back together now youre good as new

I guess they just dont break em like they used to

Dont Go To Strangers
Build your dreams
To the stars above
But when you need someone true to love
Dont go to strangers
Lover come to me
Play with fire
Get your fingers burned
But when theres no place left to turn
Dont go to strangers
Lover come to me
You give the call to follow your heart
Youll follow your heart, I know
Ive been around
Im an old hand
Ill understand if you have to go
So make your mark
For your friends to see
But when you need more than company
Dont go to strangers

You Aint Got The Right
(locorriere/sawyer/haffkine)
You aint got the right to tell me Im not lonely
You dont understand what Ive been through
He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me
But that dont make it easier to lose
No that dont make it easier to lose
I woke up monday morning
With the feeling he was gone
And I turned to face an empty place and I realized
That I didnt smell no coffee and all his pretty clothes were gone
I cried the first of the many tears youll see me crying from now on
And you aint got the right to tell me Im not lonely
You dont understand what Ive been through
He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me
But that dont make it easier to lose
No that dont make it easier to lose
I know his list of lovers was just as long as mine
But the sometime friend of a natural woman is to settle down
But the one time ways of that man
Have done busted up my mind
Now hes out the door, hes got one more
On his list than I got on mine
And you aint got the right to tell me Im not lonely
You dont understand what Ive been through
He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me
But that dont make it easier to lose
No that dont make it easier to lose
Well, its gonna be a long time before I pass this way again
I been dragged through school and Ive learned the rules
And it seems to me
That a manll love to fool ya
And he wont always fool you nice
Yes he had his turn, I guess Ive learned
And no he aint gonna fool me twice
And you still aint got the right to tell me Im not lonely
You dont understand what Ive been through
He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me
But that dont make it easier to lose
No that dont make it easier to lose
