Reader Meet Author
You dont know a thing about their lives
They live where you wouldnt dare to drive
You shake as you think of how they sleep
But you write as if you all lie side by side
Reader, meet author
With the hope of hearing sense
But you may be feeling let down
By the words of defence
He says no-one ever sees me when I cry
You dont know a thing about their lives
Books dont save them, books arent stanley knives
And if a fight broke out here tonight
Youd be the first away, because youre that type
And the year 2000 wont change anyone here
As each fabled promise flies so fast
Youll swear it was never there
Oh, have you ever escaped from a shipwrecked life ?
So safely with your software, miles from the front line
You hear the way their sad voice sings, and you start to imagine things
Oh, any excuse to write more lies

Love Dont Cost A Thing[Rj Schoolyard Mix] - Fat Joe
Think you gotta keep me iced
You dont
You think Im gonna spend your cash
I wont
Even if you were broke
My love dont cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your benz
I dont
If I wanted floss I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love dont cost a thing
When you rolled up in the escalade
Saw that dub you gave to the valet
Knew that it was game when you looked at me
Pulling up your sleeve so I could see the rolley
Bling
Saw you later in the corner booth
Raising up a toast so I would notice you
But your hearts a mess
Think you outta know
Doesnt matter if youre balling out of control
All that matters is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money cant buy, yeah
You think you gotta keep me iced
You dont
You think Im gonna spend your cash
I wont
Even if you were broke
My love dont cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your benz
I dont
If I wanna floss I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love dont cost a thing
When I took a chance
Thought youd understand
Baby, credit cards arent romance
So youre tryin to buy whats already yours
What I need from you is not available in stores
Seen a side of you that I really feel
Doing way too much, never keep it real
If it doesnt change, gotta hit the road
Now Im leaving, wheres my keys?
Ive got to go
All that matters is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money cant buy, yeah
You think you gotta keep me iced
You dont
You think Im gonna spend your cash

Even if you were broke
My love dont cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your benz

If I wanna floss I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love dont cost a thing
A thing, a thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You think the money that you make
Can substitute the time you take
Take the keys here to my heart
Then you can win my heart and get whats in my
Heart
I think you need to take some time
To show me that your love is true
Theres more than dollar signs in you
Then you can win my heart and get whats in my
Heart

Tele Hes Not Talking
Tele hes the one he knows what to say
Knows how to find his own way
He knows the roads by night and by doorways
But watching the light in a hall
Wont change a thing or say at all
What it is that he says
Still he says that I dont know
Still he says that I dont know
I dont why I think about so much
When I dont know what it is I cant say
And I wouldnt change a thing if I believe you all
And scream it in your face
Still Id say hey I dont know
Still Id say hey I dont know
Tele deals the cards and draws an ace
And finds himself miles away
Where skies aint bruised by towers and fumes
Children aint too young to play
Would I change a thing
Id change it all
But were born different days
Still Id say hey I dont know
Still Id say hey I dont know
(repeat chorus)
Would I change a thing
Id change it all when Im miles away
Would I change a thing
Id change it all but we were born on different days
Id change a thing
Id change it all when Im miles away...

2000 Miles
Theres something I need to say
Im not sad youre gone away no way
Wont be calling information
Or waiting at the railway station
You walked out of my front door
I wasnt then but now Im sure
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
Had to get me to the church on time
To say that silly I do I do nursery rhyme
Youve been bitching at me for awhile
Say hey now baby dont you cramp my style
Dont go beating me like that
Im glad I wont be coming back
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you

Our Little Angel
This is the place where I made my best mistakes
This is the place even angels dont understand
Ive seen the disappointment in her face
And the collection of engagement rings on her right hand
She sits alone apart from the crowd
In a white dress she wears like a question mark
Friends speak of her fondly
Enemies just think out loud
You think youre man enough to please her
And youre fool enough to start
Youre not going to do a thing to our little angel
Theres nothing youre thinking tonight that tomorrow wont change
Now the cabaret is frozen and the laughter comes in cans
And the lonely hearts club clientele dont know what to do with their hands
You think that youll be sweet to her but everybody knows
That youre the marshmallow valentine that got stuck on her clothes
But youre not going to do a thing to our little angel
Theres nothing youre thinking tonight that tomorrow wont change
So you mix your drinks and words
You make bad jokes you make bad time
The floors are there to walk over
The walls are there to climb
You swear that youll never go back again once youre inside
Youre never the bridegroom shes always the bride
And youre not going to do a thing to our little angel
Theres nothing youre thinking tonight that tomorrow wont change
Youll come in a sweetheart and youll go out a stranger
Well you try to love her but shes so contrary
Like a chainsaw running through a dictionary
So get your mind off the sweet behind of our little angel
Youre not going to do a thing
Youre not going to do a thing
Youre not going to do a thing to our little angel

For A Rocker
Open the door, baby turn on the light
Were gonna have a party tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
I know its late and youre already down
You aint ready for people around
Im gonna tell you something I found out
Whatever you think your life is about
Whatever life may hold in store
Things will happen that you wont be ready for
Ive got a shirt so unbelievably bright
Im gonna dig it out and wear it tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
Dont have to change, dont have to be sweet
Gonna be too many people to possibly meet
Dont have to feed em, they dont eat
Theyve got their power supplies in the soles of their feet
They exist for one thing, and one thing only
To escape living the lives of the lonely
For a friend of mine, from the neighborhood
Moving down the line, after tonight hell be gone for good
Here comes ricky, danny, and doerge
They got peties number and theyre looking at me
Russell and bobby setting up the drums
Gonna pound on till the landlord comes
Dont want to argue, I dont want to fight
But there will definitely be a party tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
till the morning comes, till the car arrives
till we kill the drums, till we lose our lives
Hey jenny, tell peggy sue
Were gonna do the only thing you can do
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker

I believe now
i believe now
i believe you truly love me
i believe you would risk your life 4 me
i believe you are not embarass by now
i believe now
i believe that you are not using me.
i believe that you are the jealous type,
and i hate to admit it but i like that side of you.
i believe that you do care.
i believe now.
i believe that you wouldnt ever hit me,
cuz you already know whats up.
i believe that if you were to cheat on me,
you wouldnt tell me.
i believe that you would work your way from A all
the way to Z just to make me happy.
i believe now.
i believe that you dont want to lose this relationship.
i believe that you will try to make us work.
i believe that you want me in your life.
i believe now.
i believe that you arent going anywhere, anytime soon.
i believe that we arent living in a fantasy but reality.
i believe you would fight for me.
i believe now.
i believe that you dont have anyone else on the side.
i believe that you wont let one little fall out break us up.
i believe that though the tears and anger, you will still be here.
i believe now.
Babiie, i believe now.

Thats The Way That It Is
Ive been thinking about
What you said last night
And for all your fine words
You still dont have it right
cause thats the way that it is
And you wont ever change
You can scream at me
But the powers that be
Wont ever hear your voice
cause theyre lost
In their own importance
No, theyll never hear your voice
cause thats the way that it is
And you wont ever change it
Ive heard all your stories
Of how the few can be strong
And how youll fight to the end
Just to prove me wrong
cause thats the way that you are
And you wont ever change it
But dont come cryin to me
If your fanciful schemes
Dont turn out like you planned
cause youre chasin
After something
That keeps slippin
Through your hand
Thats the way that it is
And you wont change it

Are You Lonely Tonight
Sometimes I can tell early in the day
Sometimes I can sense in an uncanny way
When things arent going right
It looks like just another lonely night
Wake me when its over shake me when its done
Maybe when the sun comes up Ill find a place to run
So dont lay there like a fool
cause all you have to do is call me
(chorus)
Well are you alone tonight
Or are you lonely tonight
Say youre lonely tonight
travel round the world seen a million girls
I know Ive been around nothin gets me down
cause theres someone out there just like you
Someones out there just like me too
Well are you alone tonight
Or are you lonely tonight
Say youre lonely tonight
Baby dont let it dont let it get ya
Just say the word and Ill be your cover
Im gonna try to get there today
Call me and tell me
You dont need another day
Lonely night (lonely tonight
Sometimes I can tell you dont have to say
Sometimes I can sense in an uncanny war
When things arent going right
It looks like just another lonely
Well are you alone tonight
Or are you lonely tonight
Say youre lonely tonight
Well are you alone tonight
Or are you lonely tonight
Say youre lonely tonight

I Don Acute;T Wanna Fight
I cant sleep, everything I ever knew
Is a lie without you,
I cant breathe, when my heart,
Is broke in two,
Theres no beat without you
Youre not gone but youre not here
At least thats the way it seems tongith
If we could try to end these wars
I know that we can make it right
cause baby
I dont wanna fight no more,
I forgot what we were fighting for,
And this lonliness thats in my heart
Wont let me be apart from you
I dont wanna have to try
Girl to live without you in my life,
So Im hopin we can start tonight
cause I dont wanna fight no more
How can I leave, when everything
That I adore
And everything Im living for
Girl its in you
I cant dream, sleepless nights
Have got me bad
The only dream I ever had is
Being with you
I know that we can make it right,
Its gonna take a little time,
Lets not leave ourselves with no way out
Lets not cross that line
Remember that I mad a vow
That I would never let you go
I meant it then , I mean it now
And I wanna tell you so
cause I dont wanna fight no more
I forgot what what we were fighting for
And this loneliness thats in my heart
Wont let me be apart from you
I dont wanna try
Girl to live without you in my life
So Im hoping we can start tonight
cause I dont wanna fight no more

Shes Too Good For Me
She dont like to hear me sing
She dont want no diamond ring
She dont want to drive my car
She wont let me go that far
She dont like the way I look
She dont like the things I cook
She dont like the way I play
She dont like the things I say
But oh the games we play
Shes too good for me
Shes too good for me
She dont like the jokes I make
She dont like the drugs I take
She dont like the friends I got
She dont like my friends a lot
She dont like the clothes I wear
She dont like the way I stare
She dont like the tales I tell
She dont like the way I smell
But oh the game we play
Shes too good for me
Shes too good for me
Would she prefer it if I washed myself more often than I do
Would she prefer it if I took her to an opera or two
I could distort myself to be the perfect man
She might prefer me as I am
She dont want to meet my folks
She dont want to hear my jokes
She dont want to fix my tie
She dont even want to try
She dont like the books I read
She dont like the way I feed
She dont want to save my life
She dont want to be my wife
But oh the games we play
Shes too good for me
Shes too good for me

Sugaree
When they come to take you down when they bring that wagon round
When they come to call on you and drag your poor body down
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
You thought you was the cool fool and never could do no wrong
Had everything sewed up tight. how come you lay awake all night long
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Well in spite of all you gained you still had to stand out in the pouring rain
One last voice is calling you and I guess its time you go
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Well shake it up now sugaree, Ill meet you at the jubilee
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me

Alone Tonight
Theres nothing here that I can understand
And no one cares Im a lonely man
I touch your face and I dont know why
I call your name but youre going by
Now Im alone again.
I have no name for each and every day
Until the year is done and fades away
Theres a time in between the two
The old years gone by but its not the new
And i, i, i...
I know thatll be all
Alone again, alone again tonight oh im
Alone again, alone again tonight oh im
Alone again, and it seems to me that every time I try to change
Say that youre say that youll
Help me reach the other side
When the morning comes the sun is out
And warms me up again
What a funny world it is for me
And all Ill never be
Its not enough, its not enough
This feeling Im feeling inside
Oh I know it I know tonight that Ill be
On my own tonight, alone again tonight
Oh Im alone again, alone again tonight
Oh Im alone again, and it seems to me that everytime I try to change
Say that youll, say that youll
Help me reach the other side
Help me please cos I know Im gonna be
On my own again alone again tonight...

No Stopping Us
Would it take a bakers dozen to get my point to you?
Would it take a half a pound to roll a joint for you
Would it take some hailing marys so full of grace to get my sound to you
Will you help me break it down and get on thru
Down to the other side
Its easy of you only try
Dont lie down on the job
Because once we hit the top theres no stopping us
Should I address all my letters to the well to be
Should I say return to sender is just a well be done
Should I better not it so personally if all the good loving is never received
Baby if it was me well I wouldnt think twice
No not i..
See its easy if you only try
So dont lie down on the job
Because once we hit the top theres no stopping us.
I will drive a thousand miles or Ill meet you at the station
If only you would take a vacation from this thing you have created
I promise to make it worth your while
So cmon try. baby wont you try
Its easy if you do not run
I promise you youll have your fun
Because once we hit the top weve just begun
Theres no stopping us.

Tonight & Forever
You know youre gonna have to face up to the facts
Youre just another face in a big crowd
You know we gotta try hard to relax
We can laugh - but not too loud
Its never like you see in a magazine
And you dont even know what you mean to me
And I dont understand this feeling
But wanna be with you tonight
Tonight and forever
You drive me crazy and you say that youll never change
And I could never do what you want to
Dont you find this whole thing a little strange
I dont even know if I like you
Its never like you see on a movie screen
But theres something that you do to me
And Im not sure that I believe it
But I wanna be with you tonight
Tonight and forever

You Dont Know A Thing About Me
To you Im just the man who let you down
The one who never gave you what you need
Its true I wasnt always around back when you were reaching out for me
I know you think I didnt care
You say Im just the hurtin kind
I know you think my heart wasnt there
But Im beggin you to think it through one more time
Cause you dont know a thing about me
If you dont know how much I miss you
And you dont know a thing about me
unless you know how much i need to be with you
Well, I see the mistakes I made
The way I acted carelessly..
But if you dont know how much I need your forgiveness
Then you dont know a thing about me...
If I could just go back and make it right
and take the tears away you know i would
Ive come to you with no excuse tonight
Just a prayer that ill be understood...
You tell me that im never gonna change
I'll always be the same ol guy..
You think theres nothing left for us to say
Before you write me off take a look in my eyes
Cause you dont know a thing about me
If you dont know how much I miss you
And you dont know a thing about me
unless you know how much i need to be with you
Well, I see the mistakes I made
The way I acted carelessly
But if you dont know how much I need your forgiveness
Then you dont know a thing about me...

Never Is A Promise
Never is a promise
Youll never see the courage I know
Its colors richness wont appear within your view
Ill never glow - the way that you glow
Your presence dominates the judgements made on you
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights
I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you
Youll say you understand, but you dont understand
Youll say youd never give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise, and you cant afford to lie
Youll never touch - these things that I hold
The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
Youll never feel the heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper than Ive ever shown - to you
Youll say, dont fear your dreams, its easier than it seems
Youll say youd never let me fall from hopes so high
But never is a promise and you cant afford to lie
Youll never live the life that I live
Ill never live the life that wakes me in the night
Youll never hear the message I give
Youll say it looks as though I might give up this fight
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights
I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you
Youll say you understand, youll never understand
Ill say Ill never wake up knowing how or why
I dont know what to believe in, you dont know who I am
Youll say I need appeasing when I start to cry
But never is a promise and Ill never need a lie

Never can tell what the brew will do
But theres times youll wind up feelin so fine
Some women seem to have a knack
Theyll turn you on and leave you flat
Never can tell whos playin for keeps
So tell me now whats holding you back

You can run but love will find you
Ready or not here it comes
Some people when they hear a groove
Shake their heads cause they just cant approve
Well I turn up the music till its shakin the sky
Is everybody ready to move
Theres times you wanna shake yourself
Theres nights you wanna yell for help
You can fly when youre standing still
N theres nothing wrong with raising some hell
Tonight were gonna raise it

Its Different For Girls
What the hell is wrong with you tonight?
I cant seem to say or do the right thing
Wanted to be sure youre feeling right
Wanted to be sure we want the same thing
She said - I cant believe it
You cant - possibly mean it
Dont we - all want the same thing

Well who said anything about love
No not love she said
Dont you know that its different for girls
Dont give me love
No not love she said
Dont you know that its different for girls
Youre all the same
Mama always told me, save yourself
Take a little time and find the right girl
Then again dont end up on the shelf
Logical advice gets you in a whirl
I know - a lot of things that
You dont - you wanna hear some
She said - just give me something

But some dont know how to handle it
Always reachin out in vain
Accepting the things not worth having but
Dont you worry bout a thing
Dont you worry bout a thing, mama
Cause Ill be standing on the side

They say your style of lifes a drag
And that you must go other places
But just dont you feel too bad
When you get fooled by smiling faces but
Dont you worry bout a thing
Dont you worry bout a thing, mama

A chance to check out the new
But youre the only one to see
