Hello In There
We had an apartment in the city,
Me and loretta liked living there.
Well, itd been years since the kids had grown,
A life of their own left us alone.
John and linda live in omaha,
And joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost davy in the korean war,
And I still dont know what for, dont matter anymore.
Chorus:
Ya know that old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder evry day.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, hello in there, hello.
Me and loretta, we dont talk much more,
She sits and stares through the back door screen.
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream that weve both seen.
Someday Ill go and call up rudy,
We worked together at the factory.
But what could I say if asks whats new?
Nothing, whats with you? nothing much to do.
Repeat chorus:
So if youre walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Please dont just pass em by and stare
As if you didnt care, say, hello in there, hello.

Hello In There
[ john prine ]
Had an apartment in the city
Me and loretta liked living there
Its been years since the kids have grown
With lives of there own
All left us alone
John and linda live in omaha
Joe is somewhere on the road
We lost davey in the korean war
I still dont know what for
Guess it doesnt matter anymore
Chorus:
Old trees grow stronger
And old rivers wider everyday
But old people, they just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say hello in there
Say hello
Me and loretta we dont talk much now
She just sits staring at the back door screen
While all the news it just repeats itself
Like some old forgotten dream
That weve both seen
Someday Ill go and call up billy
We worked together in the factory
But what do I tell him if he asks whats new?
Say nothin whats with you
Cause thers not much left to do
Chorus
So if you walking down the street one day
And you spot some hollow ancient eyes
Dont turn around as if you didnt care
Or worse yet stop and stare
Just say hello in there
Say hello

Whats Up
Dede oneal & left eye
(appears on vinyl promo and black history month sampler)
This track is very rare
How long do I let this thing go on
Before I run away
Not begging you to stay
But Id like it if you could
And youre knowin that you should
Be down with the one
Thats gonna love you baby
So stay and stop drivin me crazy
Chorus:
Whats up
Whats up with you and me
Baby I wanna know
Whats up with us
Whats up
Whats up with you and me
Baby I wanna know
Whats up with us
You see Im not tryin
To ride and pressure you
If its somethin you dont wanna do
But I got to let you know
Your position must be known
There aint no reason to front
So I guess I will be blunt
And just let you know that
Im walkin out the door
Unless you tell me right now
What youre gonna do with my love
Oh baby
Chorus
I dont know why
But Ive always tried
Why dont you lay down
Why dont you hang up your tie
Whats up baby
Whats up baby baby baby baby
Oh
Dont be afraid and dont
You fade on my escapade
Fantasy lives within the dream
That we have made
Callin me up 6 in the mornin
The break of dawn and
Before I could imagine that youd be gone and
I think about the times we share
Call it do or dare
Ask me if Im bein fair
Do you really care
See me and you like a holiday
Never too late to celebrate in a lot of ways
Whats up
We really dont need to play
These guessing games no more
Whats up
I gave you all my love you said it was too much
You dont want no more
Whats up
You really didnt need to play
These guessing games no more
Whats up
I gave you all my love you said it was too much
You dont want no more

It Dont Matter
(tommy lee james)
Weve got a nice little house on a quiet little street
But it dont matter
A two garage with a new cherokee
But it dont matter
Chorus:
Cause we dont ever seem to talk anymore
And you dont hold me like you did before
Weve got everything we wanted and more
But now I know and now I see
Nothing matters if you dont love me
Weve given twelve precious years of our lives
But it dont matter
And I guess for awhile we were both satisfied
But it dont matter
It wouldnt be easy to walk out tonight
But it dont matter
And I know I would miss you if you said goodbye
But it dont matter

I Dont Want To Grow Up
When Im lying in my bed at nite
I dont wanna grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I dont wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog thats
Always changing things
Makes wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I dont wanna grow up
I dont ever want to be that way
I dont wanna grow up
Seems that folks turn into things
That they never want
The only thing to live for is today...
Im gonna put a hole in my t.v. set
I dont wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
I dont wanna grow up
I dont wanna have to shout it out
I dont want my hair to fall out
I dont wanna be filled with doubt
I dont wanna be a good boy scout
I dont wanna have to learn to count
I dont wanna have the biggest amount
I dont wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I dont wanna grow up
They all go out and drinkin all night
I dont wanna grow up
Id rather stay here in my room
Nothin out there but sad and gloom
I dont wanna live in a big old tomb on grand street
When I see the 5 oclock news
I dont wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I dont wanna grow up

You Dont Have To Be Old To Be Wise
Ive had enough of being programmed
And told what I ought to do
Lets get one thing straight
Ill choose my fate
And its got nothing to do with you
The years are flying by and its time I got high
Took a sample of the good things in life
This is a chance
Im gonna take
Gonna kick out trouble and strife
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So whats wrong
You dont have to be old to be wise
No I dont care that the people stare
Accuse me of going mad
Just get a long hard look into the mirror
Then, tell me now whos been had
The way things are going I wont get to show em
Go single all the times up to me
So its off with the ties
No compromise
Wanna taste what its like to be free
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So whats wrong
You dont have to be old to be wise
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So whats wrong
You dont have to be old to be wise
Alright, Im gonna gather my things
Go through the door
Live and let live from now on
At last a free hand, no longer pre-planned
I got a will of my own
I go as I please
Fend for myself
Pull all the stops, throw the dice
Out on my own, gonna go it alone
When I need it
Then Ill ask for advice
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise

Dont Leave Me This Way
Of my life all of my life
Ive been searching for a love like ours
Somewhere to stay somewhere safe in your arms
I was so sure
Are you really saying your hearts changing
Do you really mean goodbye
Chorus
Dont leave me this way no no
Dont tell me its over
Weve only begun and our love is so young
Youre leaving me nowhere
Dont leave me this way
Dont leave me this way
Say whats on your mind one thing at a time
And I promise you well talk it through
Dont walk away theres so much more to say
Though my words seem lost on you
Cant believe youre talking like were just friends
Cant you see the tears Ive cried
Chorus
Dont leave me this way no no
Dont tell me its over
Weve only begun and our love is so young
Youre leaving me nowhere
Dont leave me this way
Dont leave me this way
Are you really saying your hearts changing
Do you really mean it this time
Baby dont leave me this way oh no

Dont Wanna
Dont want to talk, dont want to walk
Dont want to do anything
Dont want to kick, dont want to scream
Dont want to sleep, dont want to dream
Just want to sit, just want to stare
Do what you want I dont care
Wait for the phone, wait for the ring
Dont want to do anything
Chorus
Dont want to work, dont want to play
Just sit around everyday
Dont want to dance, dont want to sing
Dont want to do anything
Dont want to laugh, dont want to cry
Just want to sit and wonder why
Its just too much without your touch
Dont want to do anything

Man In The Street
Im not a happy guy
But Im not always sad
And Im no millionaire
But I dont do so bad
But no matter who you think you are
Theres always someone with a different view
Theres always someone thinks hes got a right
To say whats good for you
So how do you know
That the man in the street dont care
And why dont you care
When the man in the street dont know
Anyway
Im not a clever guy
But Im sure not that dumb
Dont have the inside news
But I know what goes on
And if you put your faith in God above
Or if you watch the skies for superman
Theres always times when you can see the answers
Slip right through their hands
So how do you know
That the man in the street dont care
And why dont you care
When the man in the street dont know
Anyway
So no matter who they think they are
As they tell you who to fight or how to dance
Why dont you give yourself a break
And give us all a chance
cause how do you know
That the man in the street dont care
And why dont you care
When the man in the street dont know

Make Up Your Mind
Make up your mind.
You couldnt make me anymore crazy
than I could stand to be.
So wont you just sympathize with me.
And all the things I do to make you angry with me.
Whats wrong with me today?
You say, I leave you all alone.
Every time you call me.
As if you needed reason to fall down.
I know this must be hard for you to understand.
And all this waiting takes too long for me.
Make up your mind.
[ Chorus ]
You dont even know, whats good for you.
You better keep your eyes on me.
Maybe youre oblivious inside.
And its scary that you dont know.
Your chances fade away.
Fade away sometimes.
Maybe youre oblivious inside.
No you cant deny me.
And I dont want to see you go away.
You get angry when I ask whats on your mind.
I should have been asking you whats been up your sleeve this whole time.
Cause now I know youre dangerous.
And I know youre dangerous, but somehow youre contagious.
Make up your mind.
[ Repeat Chorus 2x ]
No, you cant deny me. No, you cant deny me.
Cause I dont want to see you go away.

I Dont Get It
I dont get why you can take
Such a big amount of what we work so hard to f*cking make
I dont get it
I dont get why we cant do
What we want to when it doesnt hurt you, man I dont get it
I dont get it I dont get why we cant smoke
Just because you say its bad what mother nature chose to grow
I dont get it I dont get why we should change
What we said here so we dont have to explain I dont get it
I cant make sense of anything
I cant make friends with anyone
I dont get anything at all
It doesnt matter anymore
I cant make sense of anything
I cant make friends with anyone
I hope someday I figure out
Where the f*ck youre talking from

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.

I dont know whats on your mind
I thought everything was fine
But it was my surprise.
I dont know
I dont know whats going on
Something surely must be wrong
Youre living secret lives.

Living secret lives, secret lives
And I wonder where she goes to in the night
In secret lives.
Wish I knew
Wish I knew where I fit in
Wish that I knew everything
About your secret lives.
If it means
If it means that much to you
I dont want to stop the things you do
I dont need alibis.

I dont care what goes on there
So long as one day I can share
Share your secret lives.

I Dont Care Anymore
Well you can tell evryone Im a down disgrace
Drag my name all over the place.

You can tell evrybody bout the state Im in
You wont catch me crying cos I just cant win.

And it seems to me theres a means to and end.
They dont care anymore.
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.

And you laughed in my face cos you held all the cards.

And I really aint bothered what you think of me

Dont Talk To Strangers
When you were just a young girl and still in school
How come you never learned the golden rule
Dont talk to strange men, dont be a fool
Im hearing stories, I dont think thats cool
Why dont you tell me, someone is loving you
Cause youre my girl, some say its no longer true
Youre seeing some slick continental dude
Im begging you, please
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody, ever told you, dont talk
Now tell me, hows life in the big city
I hear the competitions tough, baby thats a pity
And every mans an actor, every girl is pretty
I dont like whats getting back to me
Now whos this, don juan Ive been hearing of
Love hurts when only ones in love
Did you fall at first sight or did you need a shove
Im begging you, please
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, dont talk
*fais lamour avec moi (*make love to me)
Whats he saying baby
*viens dormir, mon amour (*come to sleep my love)
I asked you not to talk to him
*je taime donne moi ton coeur ce soir (*i like you to give me your heart this night)
Im begging you
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,

Everbody Gets The Blues
It dont matter if youre rich
It dont make no difference if youre poor
Simple things in life can make you mad to the core
It doesnt matter if youre young
Dont make no difference if youre old
You got to stand a little rain
Before you reach a pot of gold
Chorus:
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows and the high
Well you work and you worry
Spend you life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
Aint no different for a woman
Than it is for a man
Everybody goes dancing
Everybody pays the band
Everybody got to take
Everybody got to give
Everybody got to live
[repeat chorus]
Dont matter if youre fat
Dont matter if youre thin
Everybody got to lose
Everybody got to win
Dont matter if youre black
Dont matter if youre white
You know you got to get it wrong
To have a chance to make it right

All The Right Friends
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
I know you say
Maybe some day
I need never be alone
I know I say
Its the right way
But youll never be the one
Ive been walking alone
For a long long, long time
I dont wanna hang out now
With the folks that just dont mind
While you party
Youve been looking
But your searching never ends
Youve been saying
With the wrong crowd
Youve got all the right friends
(chorus 1)
Ive been walking alone
For a long, long time
I dont gotta hang out
With the friends that just arent mine

I dont wanna be with you anymore
I just dont want you anymore
I dont wanna be with you anymore
I just dont want you anymore
I know you say
Maybe some day
I need never be alone
I know I say its the right way,
But youll never be alone

I dont wanna talk to you anymore
I dont like your way you walk anyhow
