Listen boy I'm telling you
I know her more than you think I do
You'll say and swear that she's the one
But she's no where near
With the setting of the sun

She's an animal man,
She can't be tamed
She's a vicious bird
That can't be put in a cage
And believe me it's not all the rage

And when you're with her
She's everything you think about
But there's always something on her mind
That you'll never figure out

She's a woman, she'll cut you down to size
If you think you're in love
Well boy you better think twice
She's a woman she's long and she's lean
And if she don't get what she wants
Boy that girl gets  mean

Now the only reason I'm telling you
Is cause I don't want to see your heart turn blue
She'll rip you to shreds She's mean no doubt
She'll really love you up then she'll spit you out

But if you insist
Then take my advice on this
Don't you be the fool
Or you'll be swimming in your sorrows
And she'll take your heart to school

She's a woman, she'll cut you down to size
If you think you're in love
Well boy you better think twice
She's a woman she's long and she's lean
And if she don't get what she wants
Boy that girl gets mean

You think you know someone
When they're all you think about
Listen girl I'm telling you
You see me down but I'm not out

I know how you tried
To cut me down to size
And all your friends listened to you well
Well life gets lonely and it only gets colder
When you're making your way through Hell

And I was such a fool
To think I'd never be over you
But if you could only see me now
You'd realize you'll have to find
Yourself another clown

I'm not a part of this circus
And baby you're not my ring leader
I once was a man without a purpose
And you were a real attention eater
But baby those days are long gone
The curtains are closed
And the show can't go on

Spent five years running down the road
I lost my wheel with no where else to roll
But I don't stop and try to reminisce
And I don't worry about
The things that could have been

I'm not a part of this circus
And baby you're not my ring leader
I once was a man without a purpose
And you were a real attention eater
But baby those days are long gone
The curtains are closed
And the show can't go on

Sometimes I can still see the lights
Flashing around our heads
Baby there's gonna have to be an act
That can top everything we had

I'm not a part of this circus
And baby you're not my ring leader
I once was a man without a purpose
And you were a real attention eater
But baby those days are long gone
The curtains are closed
And the show can't go on

Here it comes
I've had this feeling before
I told myself never again
But here I am back for more

And I know that it's true girl
That you will end up like the rest
But I can still pretend girl
And still treat you like the best

No I never listen to myself
I never know when enough is enough
Now you've got me under your spell
Hypnotized by your love

So hit me with your love until it hurts
Blind my eyes with your pretty little lies
And make me believe it's what I deserve
And when you've finally had enough
Be sure and shut the door
So hit me with your love
Until I'm begging for more

I should listen,
Maybe I should go
My thoughts say yes
But my heart says no

It's what I'm after
But it's a losing game
There's love and laughter
But it always ends the same

And now I'm running from myself
While I'm running for your love
Put my worries on a shelf
And I don't know a thing about love

So hit me with your love until it hurts
Blind my eyes with your pretty little lies
And make me believe it's what I deserve
And when you've finally had enough
Be sure and shut the door
So hit me with your love
Until I'm begging for more

My Dear
I beseech thine own gratitude.
Parting, be it spoken
Or be it a favorable token
Or adieu by the by
Who were thou once
In a matter of deliberate thinking
But the rose that wilts
While the Gardener tends to his own roses.
Be there no just cause
By way of reckoning with
My poorly based manner
I ask your hand
Love be it a thing of adversity
Or diverse confusion
To he who holds no compassion
Hatred still holds not passion
And while I cannot bring myself to love,
Love premieres itself to me.
How Heavens Gaze
Upon star crossed Lovers
And the tide holds true
To a Voyager on a perfumed Sea
Onwards his own own native shore
Love is blind to ties that bind
For you my dear I your lighthouse far
And you my anchor bold
That I ask your hand to hold

This is for you Robin

I'm a genie in a magic lamp
I'm a bird thats in a cage
I'm a man who's really Peter pan
And im a kid trapped in a game

I'm someone who wears a smile
Even though there's so much pain
And I may not be here tomorrow
So can I make you laugh today?

I'm a man of many faces
And sometimes I forget my own
I'm a man that can find a voice
That you will always know
But one thing that I cannot find
Is any peace to be near
But the thing that gives me the greatest joy
Is your laughter through the years

I'm a man with a broadcast
Telling you good morning every day
I'm a man who can "patch" you up
When your blue skies are turning gray

And still I wonder what dreams may come
But I believe I've lived all of mine
But I dont worry if there ever were some
That I left so far behind

I'm a man of many faces
And sometimes I forget my own
I'm a man that can find a voice
That you will always know
But one thing that I cannot find
Is any peace to be near
But the thing that gives me the greatest joy
Is your laughter through the years

If I could
I would pick
A garden just for you
The grass would match your eyes
And the violets would be so blue

If I could
I would walk a mile for you
Hoping just maybe
That you would walk with me two

And if I could give you the world
I wouldn't stop
Until the oceans all ran dry
And I would give my life
Just so you wouldn't have to cry
If I could

If I could
I would give you my eyes
So you would see how much
You mean to me

And if I could
I would give you my heart
So maybe then you'd see
That our love was meant to be

And if I could
I would collect all the rain
So it wouldn't pour on your parade
I would extinguish the sun
So all there would be was shade

If it was up to me
All the stars would spell out your name
That's how my world would be
And it would never be the same

And if I could give you the world
I wouldn't stop
Until the oceans all ran dry
And I would give my life
Just so you wouldn't have to cry
If I could

Who holds time
When time is no more
Who holds the key
When life closes the door
Who are we to be who we are

Who stays behind
While others flee
What is this flame
Burning inside of me
Who are we to be who we are

Soon one day
There will be a price to be paid
The battle won
The people slain
The broken hearts
The early graves
And when we stand on the field
Then we will ask what is real

Who are we to win this war

Where is this hero
Who will come save the day
Who will lead us
When they fall astray
Who are we to be who we are

What is the price
That others will pay
One man's own life
Do we betray
Who are we to be who we are

And when we stand
In victory
Then we will understand
What is meant to be, we will be free
The time has come
The moments here
We feel so numb
But the choice is clear
Who are we to be who we are
