I give you my time
Spend my money on you
Can't get you off of my mind
What's a boy to do
Well there must be holes in my soul
You wormed your way into
All I know is I'm under your spell
Be lost now without you
I give you my time
Spend my money on you
You make me so happy but tell me
Why do you make me so blue
Without you I'm lonely
Yeah, you are the only
One for me, yeah
I spend every night
Home alone with you
My life just don't feel right
When I'm not with you
Without you I'm lonely
Yeah, you are the only
One for me
Well one of these days
I'm gonna finish with you
You poison my heart and my mind
You're bad for me and that's the truth
I give you my time
Spend all my money on you
You make me so happy but tell me
Why do you make me so blue
Without you I'm lonely
Yeah, you are the only
One for me, yeah
Without you I'm lonely
Yeah, you are the only
One for me

Baby, baby, baby I tell you I love you
Baby, baby, baby I'm begin' please
Why you gotta lie and cheat sweet woman
Can't you see you got me on my knees
I'm doin' the best I can
To make you happy
But I'm only a man
Yeah, I'm doin' the best I can
To make you happy
But I'm only a man
This ain't the way love's meant to be woman
Ain't love supposed to be kind woman
Well I've been howlin' at the Moon

Since time began
Yeah, I been howlin' at the Moon
Sceamin' at the Sun
Since time began
This ain't the way love's meant to be woman
Ain't love supposed to be kind woman

To make you happy
But I'm only a man
I said I'm doin' the best I can
To make you happy
Still I'm only a man
Well I've been howlin' at the Moon

This ain't the way love's meant to be woman
Ain't love supposed to be kind woman

One Year On
03:21
|

One year on
Since your love has gone
And I'm sinking ever deeper
Day by day
One year on
Still the pain's not gone
Will it ever, will it never
Go away
And now all I have left
To hold on to
Are bitter-sweet memories
Of me and you
Tried to move on
But ever since you've been gone
Been feeling all the more lost
Day by day
And now all I have left
To hold on to
Is just bitter-sweet memories
Of me and you
One year on
Since your love has gone
Will this loneliness
Ever go away
One year on
Still the pain's not gone
And I'm sinking ever deeper
Day by day
Will this loneliness
Ever go away
Will this loneliness
Never go away

Haunted
02:34
|

|
The times and places
Whence love might grow
Those missed opportunities
They haunt me so
And I'm haunted
By thought of things that might have been
And I'm haunted
By moments I walked away
And I'm haunted
By missed opportunities
And I'm haunted
By the spectre of a different way
And I'm haunted
By thought of things that might have been
And I'm haunted
By ghosts of love unborn
And I'm haunted
By missed opportunities
And I'm haunted
By the spectre of a different today

Broken, Down & Blue

Waiting by the telephone for you to call me back
Sittin' alone at home when are you comin' back
Those things I've said and done I wish I could take back
Can't think of nothin' else my mind's a one way track
Since you went away
Been waiting all night for you
Nothing left to say
Except I don't know what to do
'Cus I'm Broken, down and blue
When we first met you truly made me feel alive
Everything changed the day you came into my life
Never been so happy as when you were by my side
Only thing standing in our way is bitterness and pride
Since you went away
Been waiting all night for you
Nothing left to say
Except I don't know what to do
Guess I'm Broken, down and blue
Broken, down and blue
Sittin' alone at home when are you comin' back
Waiting by the telephone for you to call me back
Those things I've said and done I wish I could take back
Can't think of nothin' else my mind's a one way track
Since you went away
Been waiting all night for you
Nothing left to say
Except I don't know what to do
Guess I'm Broken, down and blue
'Cus I'm so in love with you
Broken, down and blue

Roll The Dice

Gotta take a chance now
Gonna join the dance
Before the music stops
No need to be cool now
Sun is shining on you
So just roll the dice
Don't even think twice
The world is waiting for you
Your dreams are alive
Roll the dice
Nothing left to do now
Nothing left to lose
Life's turned the tide
Don't let 'em gather dust
Don't let 'em turn to rust
Your dreams are your guide
Don't even think twice
The world is waiting for you
Your dreams are alive
Roll the dice
Don't even think twice
The world is waiting for you
Your dreams are alive
Roll the dice

Sold As Seen
03:44

You wanna change my colour scheme
The clothes I like to wear
You don't like my beard
Or the style of my hair
You say you wanna be with me
But then you want to change me
Oh women
Won't you take me as I am
My heart and soul were sold as seen
I never claimed to be squeaky clean
And I love you
Just the way you are
You say you wanna be with me
But still you wanna change me
Oh sweet women
Won't you take me as I am
Oh women won't you take me
I'm just a tired, weary sinner
But I swear to you
I'm doin' the best I can
You say you wanna be with me
Still you want to change me
Oh sweet women
Won't you take me as I am
Oh women won't you take me
I'm just a tired and weary sinner
But I promise you
I'm doin' the best I can
My heart and soul were sold as seen
I never claimed to be squeaky clean
Oh women
Won't you take me as I am
My heart and soul were sold as seen
I never claimed to be squeaky clean
Oh sweet women
Won't you take me as I am
Oh sweet women
Won't you take me as I am

Setting Sun
03:18

It's time for me to go
Won't let the grass grown
Under my feet
Girl surely you should know
Love is war and now
It's time to retreat
I'm on my way I'm goin'
Into the setting Sun
There ain't no way I'll ever
Belong to anyone
Guess it's time for goodbye
Ain't no need to cry
Don't waste a single tear
Surely by now you know
Love is war and so
Ain't it time we admit defeat
I'm on my way I'm goin'
Into the setting Sun
There ain't no way I'll ever
Belong to anyone
I'm on my way I'm goin'
Into the setting Sun
There ain't no way I'll ever
Belong to anyone
I'm on my way I'm goin'
Into the setting Sun
There ain't no way I'll ever
Belong to anyone

I long for the simple life
Far away from it all
I yearn for those endless days
Filled with nothing at all
And though there are obstacles in my way
And though I am swimming against the tide
I believe that I will get there one fine day
Yeah I know deep down inside
Just wanna sail away
A better life a brand new day
With nothing standing in my way
I'll find peace and there I'll stay
Without a care in the world
Without a care in the world
I'll find peace and there I'll stay
Without a care in this world
I'll find peace and there I'll stay
Without a care in the world
I long for the simple life
Far away from it all
Just need to find a place
Where my soul can hear it's call
