The Hard Way
Boys like you were born to waste,
You never listen to a word I say
And if you think youre here to mess around,
Youre making a big mistake,
cos youre gonna find out the hard way,
You gonna find out the hard way.
No matter what I do or say,
Youre much too dumb to educate.
One day lifes going to turn around and slap you in the face,
Then youre gonna find out the hard way.
Youll take the hard way,
Gonna take the hard way.
Well, youll do it your way and Ill do it my way,
And well see whos the one to survive.
Youll find that with no foundation
Or qualifications
Theres no way that you can get by,
No, theres no way you can get by.
Why dont you take the easy way?
Why dont you co-operate?
Dont just sit there and vegetate.
Do you want to end up illiterate?
You think that lifes a vacation
And youve no inclination
To dust away the cobwebs of your mind.
Now its time for confrontation
And Im tired of being patient,
So Ive got to be cruel to be kind.
Youve got to be cruel to be kind.
Im wasting my vocation teaching you to write neat
When youre only fit to sweep the streets.
Your intellect is such
That it requires a killers touch.
So Im going to play it your way,
Well take the hard way.
Going to take the hard way,
You can take the hard way.
Gonna take the hard way,
Gonna take the hard way.

Ill Be Hard To Handle
Now well say till something do us part
That old dad of mine aint got a heart
Any girl whos out for pleasure
Thinks of marriage only at her leisure
As it is, theyve got the horse behind the cart
When my pop said we must wed,
He kind of wowed me, still Im read-y
But one thing must be clear
At this time
Ill be hard to handle
I promise you that
And if you complain
Heres one little jane
Wholl leave you flat
Ill be hard to handle
What else can I be
I say with a shrug
I think youre a mug
To marry me
When you first threw me a gander
I was willing to philander
But I never thought Id have to be a bride
Now youre gonna find tough sledding
I dont want no shotgun wedding
I was only along for the ride
Ill be hard to handle
Im telling you plain
Just be a dear
And scram out of here
Im gonna raise cain
Ill be hard to handle
My bridges are burned
This weddings a gag
And youre in the bag
Where Im concerned
Ill be hard to handle
When weve said, I do
See theres no hope
I just got a dope
When I took you
Ill be living my life in bed
But they always will be twin beds
And I warn you, youll be living like a monk
Our affair is now a past one
So dont think youve pulled a fast one
Just remember, I think youre a punk!
Ill be hard to handle
Im no ball and chain
Ill find some means
To call the marines
Im gonna raise cain
Gonna raise cain
Im telling you plain
Im gonna raise cain

Cry, Cry, Cry
Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down
They say you only live to see the lights of town
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try
cause when the lights have lost their glow, youll cry, cry, cry
Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone
And youll wake up some cold day and find youre alone
Youll come to me but Im gonna tell you bye, bye, bye
When I turn around and walk away, youll cry, cry, cry
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry and youll cry alone
When everyones forgotten and youre on your own
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry
I lie awake at night and wait till you come in
You stay a little while and then youre gone again
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell, youre gonna cry, cry, cry
When your fickle little love gets old, no one will care for you
Youll come back to me for a little love thats true
Ill tell you no and youre gonna ask me why, why, why
When I remind you of all of this, youll cry, cry, cry
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry and youll want me there
Itll hurt when you think of the fool youve been
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry

Most Likely You Go Your Way & Ill Go Mine
You say you love me and you thinking of me
But you know you could be wrong
You say you told me that you want to hold me
But you know youre not that strong
I just cant do what I done before
I just cant beg you anymore
Im just gonna let you pass
Im gonna last
cause time will tell just who has fell
And whos been left behind
When you go your way and I go mine
You say you disturb me and you dont deserve me
But you know sometimes you lie
You say youre breaking and youre always aching
But you know how hard you try
Sometimes it gets so hard to care
You just cant be this way everywhere
Im gonna let you pass
Well the judge he holds a grudge
Hes gonna call on you
But hes badly built and he walks on stilts
Watch out he dont fall on you
You say youre sorry for telling stories
That you know I believe are true
You say you got some other kind of lover
And I guess I believe you do
You say my kisses arent like his
This time I aint gonna tell you why that is
Im just gonna let you pass

Hard Up Case
You told me once I was your pride and joy
I guess those days are dead and gone
You must have took me for some golden boy
You didnt know what you were taking on
It was a hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
Now all the angles have been played in threes
There isnt much that I can say
I know you gave your little heart to me
I guess I threw the thing away
It was a hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
Sometimes the truth is kind of hard to find
But dont you worry I can read your mind
And you dont have to tell me to my face
You put some other joker in my place
They dealt us houses full with the queens and kings
And now theyre calling out our bluff
cause you and me girl we had everything
But it just wasnt quite enough
Now thats a hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
You say the truth is gonna set me free
Like you might throw a dog a bone
I know youre thinking that the jokes on me
Just take a look at what you re dragging home --
Another hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case
It was a hard up case
Just another hard up case

Someday
(branson/mindel)
Theres only one way to go when youre up too high
Youve gotta come down; youve gotta come down
And theres only one way of saying the word goodbye
Youve gotta come down; youve gotta come down
Youve gotta be sure youre not throwing your life away
You know I can say youll regret it someday
But someday, many tears and far away
Theres gonna be something thats gonna make you want to stay
And if someday you should wake and want me near
Ill still be here
Theres only one thing to do when you reach the end
Youve gotta let go; youve gotta let go
And theres only one scene when its all pretend
Youve gotta let go; youve gotta let go
Youve gotta be sure youre not throwing your life away
You know I can say youll regret it someday
And you know that someday, when theres no one sleeping on your mind
Youre gonna wake up and see tomorrow isnt hard to find
And if years dont heal the memories you feel
Ill still be here
Someday
And if someday you should wake and want me near
Ill still be here
Someday

Hard Feelings
Written by billy burnette and jeff silbar.
Now Im supposed to understand
Dont you think youre asking too much
What kind of fool do you think I am
Dont you think youve hurt me enough
Still you want to be friends
But I dont want to be just friends
So before you start with your sympathy
Just turn around and go
And if he breaks your heart, dont come crying to me
I wont be there anymore
Go ahead and cry your tears
cause Im not gonna dry your tears
Ive got hard feelings
When it comes to you and me
And these hard feelings
Just wont let me be
These hard feelings run deep
These hard feelings run deep
Ill be alright, dont you worry about me
Ill take care of myself
The first thing I need is you out of my life
The last thing I need is your help
Sorry I met you
Sorry I met you
I will forget you, someday
Ive got hard feelings
When it comes to you and me
And these hard feelings
Just wont let me be
These hard feelings run deep
These hard feelings run deep
Ive got hard feelings
When it comes to you and me
And these hard feelings
Just wont let me be
These hard feelings run deep
These hard feelings
Hard feelings
When it comes to you and me
And these hard feelings
Just wont let me be
These hard feelings run deep
These hard feelings run deep
Hard feelings
Just wont let me be

Take the trouble to decide the things you do
Will not be the things that dont appeal to you
See the mess your makin cant you see your fakin
Gonna make it hard for you, youre gonna--into the fire
Turn on the mandrake that was given to you
See if you can make it like the others do
Feel the blood a knockin when youre finger poppin
Gonna make it hard for you, youre gonna--into the fire
Stop your bleeding mind before its over and done
Listen very closely to the message Ive sung
Feel the blood a knockin when youre finger poppin
Gonna get a message through, youre gonna--into the fire

Strange Charm
I dont know
I dont know
The dream was everything
I dont know
I dont know
If its all falling down.
I lose connection as they let me down
What you gonna think?

What you gonna say?
Are you gonna scream oh no?
What you gonna think?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna say?
I just dont like this thing, at all.

Let the boys out
Let the boys out
And let the fun begin
Let the boys out
Let the boys out
And let the night come in.
We dont like it
We dont like it
Were from the factory and weve come to play.
Let the boys out.
You push too hard
You push too hard
Come closer and talk to me
You push too hard
You push too hard
Dyou get the picture now?
You wont like it
You wont like it
We get impatient as the time runs out.

Nowhere Bound
You save up your money, buy you some shoes
The highways calling and shes right on cue
Just when you thought you had it beat
Youre leaving town on a one-way street
Chorus
Its a hard, hard lesson
But youre gonna have to learn it
Its a long cold swim up against the current
And somewhere down the line
Youre gonna have to turn it around
cause boy right now youre nowhere bound
Her words still echo thru your mind
But fade away as you cross the county line
Running from trouble or from the truth
It doesnt matter either way you lose
Chorus
Well you walk ten miles just to make new tracks
But you turn around and find that its twenty miles back
And its never gonna change it you keep leaving
Your hearts gonna break, but never break even
Where to now, do you know?
One things for certain
Gonna reap just what you sow
And all you planted was heartache and pain
Dont look now but it looks like rain.

Hard To Find
Look around, look around you answers
(Someone tell me)
Where can I, where can I find faith again
(Can you help me?)
Im running aimless just to
Try to and find a place to belong
I try explaining, but the words are
Always coming out wrong
Theres so much more to myself than this
And its so hard to find
And its so hard to find
I know youre out there
Closer now, close than Ive ever been
(To being too far gone)
Running out, running out of you again
(Can you fuel me?)
Im numb and painless
Just to keep me feeling nothing at all
I try in vain but nothing seems
To be working at all
And its so hard to find
It takes so long to get things right
And its so hard to find
I know youre out there
Theres so much more to myself than this
I know theres more to myself than this
And its so hard to find
And its so hard to find
So hard to find
It takes so long to get things right
And its so hard to find
I know youre out there
I know youre out there
Somewhere out there

Dont Try Too Hard
Words and music by queen
If youre searching out for something
Dont try so hard
If youre feeling kinda nothing
Dont try so hard
When your problems seem like mountains
You feel the need to find some answers
You can leave it for another day
Dont try so hard
But if you fall and take a tumble it wont be far
If you fail you mustnt grumble
Thank your lucky stars
Just savour every mouthful
And treasure every moment
When the storms are raging round you
Stay right where you are
Oh dont try so hard
Oh dont take it all to heart
Its only fools they make these rules
Dont try so hard
One day youll be a sergeant major
Oh youll be so proud
Screaming out your bloody orders
Hey but not too loud
Polish all your shiny buttons
Dress as lamb instead of mutton
But you never had to try to stand out from the crowd
Oh what a beautiful world
This is the life for me
Oh what a beautiful world
Its the simple life for me
Oh dont try so hard
Oh dont take it all to heart
Its only fools - they make these rules

Millionaire
Writers: alan tarney & leo sayer
I got your postcard it made me lonely
Im out of money and no one really cares
The south of france has sunny weather
Pretty boats and lots of millionaires
Now youre not coming home
You like the style and youre staying here
Pretty boys everywhere you go
You lead em on and then you disappear
You say youre gonna find a millionaire
-- well I wish you luck
And we were never going anywhere
-- and now youve had enough
You didnt wanna be
Going broke with a loser like me
And youre a girl whos just got to be free
And I dont think youll ever be happy
Chasing a millionaire
All the streets are dead without you
Empty shops and old abandoned cars
In saint tropez your man is waiting
He comes with diamonds to the hotel bar
You say youre not going home
You like the sun and youre staying here
Hell ask if youre on your own
You say why not then you both disappear
Now you say youre found your millionaire
-- oh well I dont care
Says hes gonna take you everywhere
-- I just dont care
I bet hell let you down
That kinda guy never hangs around
Hes got a girl in every town
And I dont think youll ever be happy
Living with a millionaire
Now you say youre found your millionaire
-- oh well I dont care
Says hes gonna take you everywhere
-- I just dont care
Then one day hes gonna let you down
Hell have you searching every club in town
That kind of guy will only drag you down
You can go and take your millionaire
-- oh I dont wanna know
Tell you that I really do not care
-- and your lifes your own
You see them everywhere you go
Chasing the sun in alfa romeos
You gotta catch em before they get too old
And I dont think youll ever be happy
Chasing a millionaire

Youll Never Be So Wrong
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Just two lovers in a seedy cafe
Someones leaving, the waiter says hey, wont you wait
Running nowhere, she hides in her room
What he told her had to get out and soon
Its just a bad affair youve had
No need to cry, dont take it bad
Youll soon be glad when youre far apart
Youll never be so wrong, not for a long time
Youll never be so wrong, not for a long time
cause Im never gonna find that feeling again
Im never gonna find that feeling again
Now shes breaking but what can she do
Somewhere out there a car disappears out of view
Fumbles somewhere for stale cigarettes
Looks for numbers, the ones she could dial but forgets
No point in you just looking down
No way that you can turn it around
Youve go to realise youre free
Youll never be so wrong, not for a long time
Youll never be so wrong, not for a long time
cause Im never gonna find that feeling again
Im never gonna find that feeling again
No point in you just looking down
No way that you can turn it around
Youve go to realise youre free
Youll never be so wrong, not for a long time
Youll never be so wrong, not for a long time
cause Im never gonna find that feeling again
Im never gonna find that feeling again

Growing Up The Hard Way
Hes got nothing to say, hes got no excuse
Hes just made that way, and hes gonna stay that way
Like a dog on the loose in a firework display in a world of his own
No, no, no, he wont back down or go running back home
Hes come a long way in life
Hes got a long way to go
He dont even know, he dont care because
Hes growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
Growing up the hard way
Now no tellin where youll end up, boy
And hes got nothing to say, like hes lost for the worlds, his mind is in a daze
Thats his way, its just a little game he plays
Hes got nowhere to run while the city sleeps he wanders alone
Cuttin through the steel and the hearts of stone
Hes come a long way in life
Hes got a long way to go
He dont even know, but he dont care because
Hes growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
Growing up the hard way
Youd better walk the straight and narrow
Growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
Growing up the hard way
Never know what youre in for, boy
Hes come a long way in life
Hes got a long way to go
He dont wanna know, and he dont care because
Hes growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
Hes growing up the hard way
Yeah, and hes gonna stay that way
You see, hes growing up the hard way
Walk the straight and narrow yeah, maybe someday
But still hes growing up the hard way
Its just the way hes grown up
Yeah, growing up the hard way
There aint no other way
