WONDER
There you go again
You leave me full of wonder
Mouth hangs open wide
I can’t believe you’re by my side
As we walk along
Stars fill up my eyes
Although it’s noon
And that’s just way too soon
For constellations to rise...
There you go again (there you go again)
You leave me full of wonder
Mouth hangs open wide
I can’t believe you’re by my side
Try to float back down
But that won’t last too long
When I make that choice
To follow your sweet voice
Crescendo to your song...
There you go again (there you go again)
You leave me full of wonder
Mouth hangs open wide
I can’t believe you’re by my side
Oh, oh, oh, oh, show me how
You weave that magic ‘round me
Show me how
You keep me walkin’ on air
Show me how
You chase away my every care
Man they don’t have a prayer ‘cause...
There you go again (there you go again)
You leave me full of wonder
Mouth hangs open wide
I can’t believe you’re by my...
There you go again (there you go again)
There you go again (there you go again)
There you go again (there you go again)
BABY WON'T COME DOWN
Well, I guess she's off again
And there's no telling when
She'll be walking back around my bend
Oh, she's heads above the crowd
And if nature allowed
Her tiny frame would float up to the clouds
But for now I'll tell you...
Baby won't come down
(That's why she never ever wears a frown)
Baby won't come down
(Man her feet just never touch the ground)
Oh, I love her anyway
And though it's hard to say
If it will be enough to make her stay
Hear what I say, I'll tell you...
Baby won't come down
(That's why she never ever wears a frown)
Baby won't come down
(Man her feet just never touch the ground)
It's not that I want to try to hold her down
Or change her 'round
One day I hope to stretch up to her sky
I'll give it a try but now...
Baby won't come down
(That's why she never ever wears a frown)
Baby won't come down
(Man her feet just never touch the ground)
KAY
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Kay
I love you girl in so many ways
If only you knew my Kay
Girl, you are the one, no doubt it
You make me want to shout it
With every wink, you make me think
You really understand
When I’m talking to you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Kay
I love you girl in so many ways
If only you knew my Kay
Oh, you spend all your days pretending
While we’re desk bound and bending
As we slave away, most everyday
You’re much richer by far
No doubt about it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Kay
I love you girl in so many ways
If only you knew my Kay
Oh, oh Kay you’re making my day
With all your little ways
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Kay
I love you girl in so many ways
If only you knew my Kay
KEEP ME AWAKE
Give me something to
Keep me awake, keep me awake
I’ll never sleep again
That’s only wasted time that we could spend
It hurts me so, whenever you have to go
Can’t bare to say goodnight
If given the power
I would change the face of time
Delete every hour
Every minute, second, you’re not mine
Give me something to
Keep me awake, keep me awake
I’ll never sleep again (never sleep again)
That’s only wasted time that we could spend
It’s no surprise, this heaviness ‘round my eyes
Now it’s the star’s turn to rise and shine
Slip under the covers
Shutting out the light they bring (out the light they bring)
My body just hovers
Sleep’s a lucky thief to steal this feeling
Give me something to
Keep me awake, keep me awake
I’ll never sleep again (never sleep again)
That’s only wasted time that we could spend
Don’t wanna' dream about you
It merely pales compared to really spending time
Holding you in the sunshine
Give me something to
Keep me awake, keep me awake
I’ll never sleep again (never sleep again)
That’s only wasted time...
Give me something to
Keep me awake, keep me awake
I’ll never sleep again (never sleep again)
That’s only wasted time that we could spend
INSIDE
Inside everything is always fine
Oh, inside
Inside everyone is really kind
Oh, inside my mind
When I want to get away
All I have to do
Is close my eyes set sail today
You can do it to
If you want to run and hide, go
Inside everything is always fine
Oh, inside (leave the world far behind, oh, oh)
Inside everyone is really kind
Oh, inside my mind
When they scream and shout at me
And tempers start to flare
I just float away you see
As if I’m just not there
No one hurts you, no one cries, when you’re
Inside everything is always fine
Oh, inside (leave the world far behind, oh, oh)
Inside everyone is really kind
Oh, inside my mind
I don’t feel the pain anymore
As the tears roll down to the floor
They’re just shinny waves crashing
On my dusky shore
Where the moon shines brightly and pulls the tide
Inside everything is always fine
Oh, inside (leave the world far behind, oh, oh)
Inside everyone is really kind
Oh, inside my mind
Inside
(leave the world, leave the world behind)
Inside
(leave the world, leave the world behind)
Inside
(leave the world, leave the world)
Inside...
DIGGIN’ THAT GIRL
Spinning’ my head around and ‘round
Drivin’ me crazy
You never know
How far the girl will go
Oh, oh
Some say she’s not the one for me
So wild and so racy
But they can’t see
Just what she does to me
There’s no denying...
I’m diggin’ that girl (diggin’, diggin’ that girl)
I’m diggin’ that girl
And there’s nothing in this whole wide world
Could keep me from diggin’ that...
Never been one to cause a scene
But she’s so outrageous
She makes me scream
Just like a Beatle teen
I want to hold her...
I’m diggin’ that girl (diggin’, diggin’ that girl)
I’m diggin’ that girl
And there’s nothing in this whole wide world
Could keep me from diggin’ that girl
Though she keeps me
Awake until the early morn
And she’s busy
Spending all my money
Dressing me funny...
I’m diggin’ that girl (diggin’, diggin’ that girl)
I’m diggin’ that girl
And there’s nothing in this whole wide world
Could keep me from diggin’
Nothing in this whole wide world
Could keep me from diggin’ that girl
Diggin’ that girl (oh she’s so sensational)
Diggin’ that girl (oh she’s so sensational)
Diggin’ that girl...
PAST TENSE
I’d like to thank you today
For all the love you sent my way
Yet I'd give it up, it’s true
For one more chance to speak with you
Just as if you were here, plus a year...
‘Cause I will never get used to
Talking about you in the past tense
Oh, now that you’re gone
I hope you’ve moved on
To a better place, just a smile on your face
No more worries, no more cares, just time to spare...
Time I will need to get used to (I miss you)
Talking about you (No one to talk to)
Time I will need to get used to (I miss you)
Talking about you (No one to talk to)
In the past tense
Talking about you ...
In the past tense
In the past tense
In the past tense
In the past tense
ONE WEEK AWAY
She’s just one week away
'Till she’s back in my arms to stay
She’s just one week away
And I’m counting down the days
I’m here at home
Waiting oh so patiently
'Cause I know she’s soon to be
Here with me
She’s just one week away (one week away)
'Till she’s back in my arms to stay
She’s just one week away (one week away)
And I’m counting down the days
I try to sleep
But I’m awake 'till morning’s light (wake 'till morning’s
light)
'Cause this bed just don’t feel right
Here tonight
She’s just one week away (one week away)
'Till she’s back in my arms to stay
She’s just one week away (one week away)
And I’m counting down the days
She’s just one week away
But I miss her more than words can say
When she gets home (when she gets home ah, ah)
I’ll wrap my arms around her tight (arms around her tight)
And I’ll be higher than a kite
She’s outta sight
She’s just one week away (one week away)
'Till she’s back in my arms to stay
She’s just one week away (one week away)
And I’m counting down the days...
GONE
No need to conjure any lies
No need to try and lead me on
I’m gone and I never come back
As you stare into my eyes
You might as well be all alone
No one’s home and I never come back
That’s a fact...
Twist my arm do what you will
Hang me from your windowsill
You may think you have me
But you’re so wrong
I’m gone
No facts and figures need apply (no facts needed)
Just tally them into your fee
And count on me
To never come back
Bank on that...
Twist my arm do what you will (what you will)
Hang me from your windowsill (windowsill)
You may think you have me
But you’re so wrong...
Every word you say
Just floats through ear to ear
Every message that’s afflicted
Gets evicted, yeah
Twist my arm do what you will (what you will)
Hang me from your windowsill (windowsill)
You may think you have me
But you’re so wrong
You may think you have me
But you’re wrong
I’m gone
Gone, gone, gone
I’m gone
Gone, gone, gone
I’m gone
Gone, gone, gone...
SUGARY
Some folks spin you ‘round
And some just try to bring you down
No smiles on their face, hating the whole human race
If your recipe calls for tragedy
Well just push my plate aside
None for me, make mine sugary
You can scream and shout, (shout)
And curse the world for all it’s about
Everyday, refusing to find a better way
If your recipe calls for tragedy
Well just push my plate aside
None for me, make mine sugary
Some say I’m just naive
With a dreamer’s soul
And I’ll learn my lesson before I’m old
If your recipe calls for tragedy
Well just push my plate aside
None for me
Make mine sugary
Make mine sugary
Make mine sugary
MAYBE SOMEDAY
Maybe someday you’ll love me
Knowing all the while
That you’re so far above me
All that charm and style...
The way you twirl your hair
And those silver jeans you wear
To the pop shows, singing every line
Just how the song goes
Maybe someday you’ll realize
Hoping that you will
It’s my heart that you capsize
Every time you spill...
Those tall drinks that you serve
The kind that make me swerve
From the barstool like a lovesick clown
That’s playing your fool
Maybe someday I’ll lighten my feet (maybe someday)
And step up to your door
But it sure is a long way
From the first to the second floor
Maybe someday you’ll see me (maybe someday)
Passing in the hall
Or you might look right through me
As I melt into the wall...
Either way is fine (anyway is fine)
Just to spend a little time being near you
‘Cause it sure beats feeling so blue
Maybe someday, in some small way
You’ll be mine
Na, na, na, na, na
You’ll be mine
Na, na, na, na, na
You’ll be mine
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Maybe someday...
All
