I Want You Back

I don't wish to be unkind
But it's weighting on my mind
I want you back, I know I shouldn't say
I want you back, I'll say it anyway
I want you back today!
I wish my doubt hadn't won
Cause I miss you now you're gone
I want you back, I'm missing you
Oh I just can't believe that we're really through
I want you back today!
Just for one chance to show
How much I've had to grow
I want you back, I'll be a different man
Hold onto you, you know I think I can
I want you back today!
And no-one makes me feel the way you do
Nothing is more real than what I feel for you
And if you need more time, that's fine,
I'll just hold on to the way my heart feels
When you look at me
I know that you'll say
"This isn't what we decided" anyway
I want you back, now it's too late
Oh I wish it were still up for debate
Cause I want you back today!
I want you back, now it's too late
Oh I wish it were still up for debate
Cause I want you back to stay!

In Too Deep

My perfect lady, my woman, and my baby
Well things have gotten crazy
And my mind, it continues to faze me
Fighting Ego: it make me go
One way and the other
Now you're not my lover
And it's dark in here
No light draws near
And nothing's clear
Clouded by fear
I want to make you promises
That sooth you gently to sleep
Like telling you, "I'm going to stay with you forever"
Like some pact I was created to keep
I want to be a rock for you
And nevermore the reason you weep
I want to climb out of this pit of confusion
But I'm finding that the sides are too steep
And I'm in too deep
There's no mistaking: there was no faking
Well I did all of that shaking, now my heart it's breaking!
Oh God that I knew that my love is true!
Then I could hold you
The way I long to...
And it's dark in here
No light draws near
And nothing's clear
Clouded by fear
I want to make you promises
That sooth you gently to sleep
Like telling you, "I'm going to stay with you forever"
Like some pact I was created to keep
I want to be a rock for you
And nevermore the reason you weep
I want to climb out of this pit of confusion
But I'm finding that the sides are too steep
And I'm in too deep

Not Naive

The ways of love may be mystery
But I'm sure there's someone out there for me
People will question what I believe
But I know it's noble, it's not naive
Well I don't know how we'll recognise
Maybe some light that shines from deep behind our eyes
I know I won't settle for less than her
Now our islands are sinking into the sea
So who's gonna help if it isn't me?
People will question what I believe
But I know it's noble, it's not naive
Well I don't know if we can turn it 'round
But I'll make hard choices, and I'll stand my ground
If I compromise it's the children who'll suffer
My baby girl who'll suffer
And the suffering's deep in humanity
Still I dream of a world of tranquility
People will question what I believe
But I know it's noble, it's not naive
Though all my targets may seem out of range
All I can do is be part of the change
Be the change that I want to see in the world

Valley Of Life
06:24
|

|
Sold the roof that was over my head
Put some action into all I'd said
Wasn't living the dream so now I'm dreaming the life
But first I've gotta let go of all this trouble and strife
Ain't gonna put down roots
Not until I've got the desert in my boots
Well all my life been seeking out the truth
Like a New-Age esoteric super-sleuth
But all this investigating just won't pay
So long as my mind is getting in the way
Ain't gonna know what it means
Not until I've got the desert in my jeans
For all my longing to feel truly free
Now the Valley of Life has made a space for me
So I'll put all my fears and all my worries aside
Take a deep breath and let my heart open wide
An' I know I don't have a prayer
Not until I've got the desert in my hair
An' I know I won't have a care, no, no, no
Not when I've got the desert in my hair!
