The Tracks Of My Tears
People say I'm the life of the party
Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
[Chorus:]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute she's just a substitute
'Cause you're the permanent one
[Chorus]
Outside, I'm masquerading
Inside, my hope is fading
Just a clown, oh yeah since you put me down
My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you
[Chorus]

Walk With Me
Standing all alone inside a crowd
Someone comes along and pulls you out
You smile at the chance
But deep inside, you hide your heart again
Chorus:
Walk with me
Take my hand and walk with me
You can count on me
Through your troubles times
Ill be for you what youve been for me
Walk with me, understand
Oh walk with me
Standing all alone so down and out
It easy to forget what lifes about
But you know Im your cure
So wear that smile we need
To see us through
Chorus
Baby, baby I am here
When you cant see me
See me through your tears
Feel me, feel me make it real for you
And youll make it, baby

Two Doors Down
Chorus:
Two doors down
Theyre laughing and drinkin, and having a party
Two doors down
Theyre not aware that Im around
Cause here I am
Crying my heart out, feelin sorry while
Theyre having a party two doors down

And get myself together

Like A Child
If I could right the wrongs that made you cry
I make a promise not to say good-night
'Cause I'm holding on
With A Love so strong
And I can't take a day wihtout you by my side
Girl If I could change
if I could change your mind
Baby you could help me wipe these tears from my eyes
CHORUS
Girl Don't stop
the sun from shining down on me
'Cause I can't face another day without your smile
And If you take away the loving arms that suit around me
Then I may break down and cry just like a child
Girl I can't belong and I won't free
If I fail to bring your lovin' back to me
So I'm pressin' on
I hope you understand
There's a broken heart that lies inside your hands
So If I could change
And it won't hurt your pride
Baby you can help stops these tears that i cry

Just like a child
With the spirits running free

What A Life
(graham russell)
Love comes to everyone
Some are weak, some strong
I'm not strong today
They've took her back
Brought the curtain down
What can i do now
I'm afraid
I'm afraid to think about it
(chorus)
What a life
It gets better as it goes along
What a life
It gets better as it goes along
I've been in love
Been left standing
Till i say is that what i want
Oh no there's got to be another smile on my face
I don't care about the money i make
Or what it can do
I'm alive and that's what's important to me
I don't need someone to tell me you'll get along
Who to please, who to watch over me
(chorus)
(repeat)
There's an old man
Been calling me for a long time
Never able to get his face off my mind
He always said to me take it easy, take it easy
And all the things you want will come easy
Take it easy
What a life
What a life
(chorus 2x)
He always said to me take it easy, take it easy
And all the things you want will come easy
Take it easy
What a life
What a life

Warrior Is A Child
Lately I've been winning battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I'm amazing
I'm strong beyond my years
But they don't see inside of me
I'm hiding all the tears
Chorus:
They don't know that I come running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I dropp my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
'Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
(Aahhh)
Unafraid because His arrow is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I'm amazing
I never face retreat, oh no
But they don't see the enemies
That lay me at His feet
Chorus:
They don't know that I come running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I dropp my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
'Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
(Aahhh)
They don't know that I come running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I dropp my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
'Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
(Aahhh)

Could I Be You
Something is wrong with the sum of us
That I cant seem to erase
How can I be the only one
Without a smile on my face
[chorus]
Well now, youre laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight
You show your pain like it really hurts
And I cant even start to feel mine
Well, Im standing in place
With my head first and I shake, I shake
I see your progress stretched out for miles and miles
[chorus]
Youre laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive, yeah
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight
This is the sound that I make
These are the words I chose
Somehow the right thing to say
Just wont come out
Just wont come out
[chorus]
And youre laughing out loud
At the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
And I was wondering
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Yeah, and I was wondering
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

The Swing
Yeah, its the swing
Ooh, yeah, its the swing
Every day is a saturday in the month of spring
Seems the world is full of girl looking out for that love thing
The hoods down, were cruising downtown
Just hanging with my friends
The radios ready to blow
Were getting in that vibe again
Chorus:
When your body keeps swaying side to side
Your spirit is free, it feels good to be alive
Oh, yeah, thats the swing
When youre happy to face the day with a smile,
Open your heart, let somebody inside
Oh, yeah, thats the swing
Everyone is having fun like a holiday, yeah
Plain to see shes the one for me
Dont need words to communicate
The musics loud, were fooling around
Just getting in the groove, yeah
The suns out, a lot of people about
Were checking out the views
Repeat chorus
Its a kind of faith that you believe
Can you free your soul to fly?
Kind of hope that makes you see
Your dreams can come to life
Rap:
Here I am, and Im gonna try to make you understand
About the things that Im feeling
cause the swing has got me reeling
Try thinking about the things that make you happy
And keep your dreams alive, cause people, this is how it can be
When you think that were hanging and were doing bad
Or were just feeling things you never felt and never had
cause when you wake up in the morning and your soul is singing,
Thats when youre swinging

Mr. Rainmaker
It could have rained for
Forty weeks dear
And I'd never know the difference
When your life is one
Long down pour
You're not sure you'll go the distance
You came along
With a patch of blue sky
Inside your arms
I found a place that's warm and dry
Chorus
Mister Rainmaker
Don't waste your time
I found a girl
Who is permanent sunshine
She is the little queen
Of all of my dreams carry on
And find somene else to rain on
Find someone else to rain on
Chorus
Love never rained down on me dear
Only heartache and problems
Now thorugh your arms I can see clear
It's only been raining water
You came along
With a patch of blue sky
Inside your arms
I found a place that's warm and dry

Paisley Park (remix)
1 2, 1 2 3
Woo!
There is a park that is known 4 the face it attracts
Colorful people whose hair on one side is swept back
The smile on their faces, it speaks of profound inner peace
Ask where they're going, they'll tell U "Nowhere"
They've taken a lifetime lease on Paisley Park
CHORUS:
The girl on the seesaw is laughing
4 love is the color this place imparts (Paisley Park)
Admission is easy, just say U believe
Then come 2 this place in your heart
Paisley Park is in your heart
There is a woman who sits all alone by the pier
Her husband was naughty and caused his wife so many tears
He died without knowing forgiveness and now she is sad, so sad
Maybe she'll come 2 the park and forgive him
And life won't be so bad in Paisley Park
CHORUS
See the man cry as the city condemns where he lives
Memories die but taxes he'll still have 2 give
(Who?) Whoever said that elephants were stronger than mules?
Come 2 the Park and play with us
There aren't any rules in Paisley Park
CHORUS {x2}
(Paisley Park is in, yeah, your heart)
Your heart (Your heart)
Paisley Park
Your heart {x3}
(Say it is in your heart)

Dangerous eyes on a small town girl
Seen everything all around the world
If i could only let her see my way
Maybe we should spin a watch all day
In a place far away from here

Nothing Gets In Here
Chorus
Walls of concrete
nothing gets in here
Put on that smile
that sheild of safety
Nothing gets in here
so this heart won't break
nothing gets in here
Verse 1
It's tomorrow
just another day
And if I don't fall
tears will never again escape
Keep distance
isn't it better-without the pain
Verse 2
Slip away-before it's too late
I can see beyond the eyes
to those secrets-you try to hide
This ain't love-it's touch me
before the next sun rise
then you're gone-when morning comes
Chorus
Walls of shadowed concrete
nothing gets in here
Put on that smile
that sheild of safety
Nothing gets in here
so this heart won't break
nothing gets in here
Verse 3
been there before
not again-I've laid in that bed
of loneliness and misery
Holding on and letting go
hoping for more than I could ever know
more than these pooling tears deep inside
Chorus
Walls of shadowed concrete
nothing gets in here
Put on that smile
that sheild of safety
Nothing gets in here
so this heart won't break
nothing gets in here.....

The guys down at the job all want to know
How things are going since I let you go
I laugh and say my heart aint missed a beat
Ive convinced everybody but me

Thats what I always say
When they ask me how im doing without you
I say im glad im free and if they all believe

Oh baby
You know me
Verse1:
I know people say they know you
But they've each a different face to show you
Honest people don't they take you
When they know you and they say they hate you
Why don't we take the time
To get to know each other
Isn't it worth it

Cause you, you remember what i say
Don't throw my words away
And that means the world to me oh baby
You know what i do what i do
Not a wall you can't see through
You look inside, yeah you know me
Verse2:
I've five fingers to count friends on
And they stand for what my life depends on
I don't get it those who don't try
So many molds and rules to live by
Break out of your shell
Put all hearts and souls out there
So glad i found you

Now the surface is skimmed
Who knows what's in it
People can't feel what you're meaning

Hidden
Do you really smile
When you smile?
Or like me
Smile for others to see.
The face of a clown
Replaces the frown
Just for a short while
It's a look of style
Are you laughing
Whilst deep inside crying
The smiling
All just lying
Do your eyes water
When you give no quarter
Tears glisten in the sun
When love is all done
DO you really smile
When you smile?

Forever
Thinking back, those long summer days
Young and not afraid
Did what we wanted to
Broke some hearts, didnt think Id ever start
To get tired of the part
Thats when I pictured you
Met a face, already knew so well
It was easy to tell
That you knew me too
Spent our time, laughing all the while
I made you lose your smile
Now Im losing you
(pre-chorus)
Is it too late
cause just like before
Ill be knocking at your door
(chorus)
Cant take the pain away from you
And theres nothing I can do
Until you let me through
Without you theres nothing left for me
Oh baby cant you see
Together we will be, forever
Times have changed, some are good and some are bad
The future that we have
Cant be all a dream
Nights that we would find, when we nearly lost our minds
Now could we ever be so blind
cause we were meant to be

Lonely Heart
Mike and a girl talking to each other:
Girl: mike..
Mike: yeah, baby
Girl: its over
Mike: how can you say that?
Girl: Im sorry. the love is gone.
Mike: no, please dont leave me.
Girl: dont feel bad.
Mike: how can I not feel bad. I love you.
Girl: but, its better this way.
Mike: no. I dont believe this.
Girl: no, baby
I never thought that it could be
You would turn and do this to me
I can feel the love that we had between us
Merely fade away
You told me youd never go away
And for me youd always be here
Now you tell me that somethings wrong and you must move on
Chorus:
Lonely heart is what Ill be
And no one cares for me
Let me show you now
The way that it would be if you were with me
Now I can feel the love we share
When you say its not there
Deep inside I know that you still care
But I need you to show me now
Im lookin for a quiet place where love is free
And the dreams we shared last eternally
I feel now that its the time
So wont you please come over here
The closer and the closer I get to you
Keeps me warm to know that youll stay around
So please keep your promise to me and dont go
Chorus
Let me show you now
The way that it would be if you were with me
Now I can feel the love we share
When you say its not there
Deep inside I know that you still care
But I need you to show me now

Pop a top again
Ive just got time for one more round
Set em up my friend
Then Ill be gone
And you can let some other fool sit down
Ild like for you to listen to
A joke I heard today
From a woman who
Said she was through
And calmly walked away
I tried to smile
And did awhile
But it felt so out of place
Did you ever hear of a clown with teardrops
Streamin down his face
(chorus)
Home for me is misery
And here Im wastin time
cause a row of fools
On a row of stools
Is not whats on my mind
But then you see
Her leaving me
Is not what I prefer
So its either here just drinkin beer
Or home remembering her
