I wake up on Sunday Monday I'll be gone If everybody else is right I must be wrong If you ever feel alone all you have to do is call If nothing is worth nothing, I'm worth nothing at all I want you to feel what I feel I want you to feel what I feel I want you to feel what I feel I want you to feel what I feel Come and ring my doorbell Meet me down on Easy street If you can't see me Friday I guess we'll never meet If you ever feel alone all you have to do is call If nothing is worth nothing, I'm worth nothing at all I want you to feel what I feel I want you to feel what I feel I want you to feel what I feel I want you to feel what I feel

She's an ordinary girl, Summer flowers in her golden curls She looks so pretty She crosses the line when she kisses me goodbye She's a riddle without a clue Starry-eyed and never amused She's the first one you'd be saving The last you'd be blaming for your own sad history Day after day I get a little more excited She leaves me shaking and you know I can't hide it Come on baby let me set things right She's an ordinary girl, Summer flowers in her golden curls She crosses the line when she kisses me goodbye She used to star in every role Gave her life to rock'n'roll She is fully automatic, melodramatic When she takes me home Day after day I get a little more excited She leaves me shaking and you know I can't hide it Come on baby let me set things right

Tonight 02:33
I don't wanna see you in the morning Don't wanna see you Saturday You will never see me yawning I just wanna see you Tonight We don't need the complications I don't see you when it's dawning Don't wanna see you on your birthday You will never see me yawning I just wanna see you Tonight We don't need the complications

Any time that you want Any time that you do I couldn't face the facts truly if it wasn't for you And I got your record I haven't heard from you in a while Now you've seen right trough for the last couple of miles Suzie won't you come around Chase away my fears Suzie won't you come around here Make it disappear Oh Suzie use me Anytime that you need it The only thing you got to do Is call me up and bore, watch a movie or two And I got your picture I try to put together two and two It's a work of fiction but she looks just like you Suzie won't you come around Chase away my fears Suzie won't you come around here Make it disappear Oh Suzie use me

Hurt By You 03:42
I've been feeling at times you never really knew me I've been in trouble ever since that day Never got over it I just went around Feel I could cry but who's got the time? You took my light, fire and all when you left that night Lately, I've been struggling through, but you don't know I'm hurt by (keep on lying but it's true) I'm hurt by you I don't care what you say It doesn't matter anyway I'm hiding in the open underneath the sun I met someone new I guess she will do I'm getting good at comparing with you If I wait a little longer I might come around Faking a smile, guess I get by You took my light, fire and all And asked for one more night Lately, I've been seeing through you And you don't know I'm hurt by (keep on lying but it's true) I'm hurt by you I don't care what you say It doesn't matter anyway Now I'm hiding in the open underneath the sun

I can hear you but I don't understand When you say that you're leaving to be big in Japan I can feel you when you touch my hand Reaching out will be harder from La La Land Don't Leave with my heart Don't leave with my heart Don't leave with my Don't leave with my heart I can see you but I must have been blind It's too late to change now when you've made up your mind I could tell you but now you've changed your name You've turned cheap tricks into fortune and fame Don't Leave with my heart Don't leave with my heart Don't leave with my Don't leave with my heart
7.
Don't wanna be your lover Don't wanna be your friend I'm hiding under covers Wishing for it all to end I just wanna lay right here in the sun Feel the touch of my maker Feel like the end has come Oh yeah, oh yeah I don't want it to be complicated I just wanna waste my time Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah I don't wanna feel suffocated I just wanna waste my time Don't wanna be your shoulder Never wanna be the one I wish that I could blow things over and leave behind the damage done I just wanna lay right here in the sun Feel the touch of my maker Feel like the end has come Oh yeah, oh yeah I don't want it to be complicated I just wanna waste my time Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah I don't wanna feel suffocated I just wanna waste my time

Soda Pop 03:04
Maybe you should see my baby and me Looking so cool and fancy-free Sometimes it feels like I'm flying Playing pop songs all summer long Soda pop and gum comes on strong I don't wanna see you crying And I don't want you to feel this way You know the words but you can't explain Sometimes you cry cause' we look so good I'll never get tired of dreaming about you You never smile but you know I can tell Looking in your eyes I'm someone else Sometimes I'm by the fire Maybe someplace, any time at all Staring at the sun and having a ball Sometimes it feels like I'm dying And I don't want you to feel this way You know the words but you can't explain Sometimes you cry cause' we look so good I'll never get tired of dreaming about you And I don't want you to feel this way You know the words but you can't explain Sometimes you cry cause' we look so good I'll never get tired of dreaming about you And I don't want you to feel this way You know the words but you can't explain Sometimes you cry cause' we look so good I'm so sick and tired of leaving

So you're tired of leaving Tired of finding out Tired of trying to doubt teenage news You don't believe in fighting But you're fighting hard to believe Nothing is what it seems but it must be true Slow down, take a look One is better than two They keep on telling you that they're better than you Better than you Better than you Better than you So, you're tired of sowing But you reap what you sow Forget what you know when the kingdom comes Somehow they are lying Lying on their backs Fading into black banging the drum Slow down, take a look One is better than two They keep on telling you that they're better than you Better than you Better than you Better than you You know what to do Do the Kung-Fu They're not better than you Better than you Better than you Better than you Better than you Better than you Better than you

High Demand 02:47
I wanna see you but I don't believe you When you say that you will No, you won't Don't wanna show it, I don't wanna blow it It's funny how you laugh at the joke Sometimes I feel like a little lost lamb But honey, you don't understand Your love is in high demand Touch me, feel me if you can Your love is in high demand You try so hard to look like someone who's brand new With the sticker on Stuck in a plastic box Where are you going? Lost without knowing Someday, somehow you're gonna get back home Sometimes I feel like a little lost lamb But honey, you don't understand Your love is in high demand Touch me, feel me if you can Your love is in high demand

Talk To Me 02:54
After all of this time, I know that I'm losing you You're hiding in disguise I know that you can feel it too I don't wanna be no kind of superstar I just wanna be where you are I just wanna be where you are After all of this time we wonder what is left to prove And you say "it's all fine" but I know that you can feel feel it too I don't wanna be no kind of superstar I just wanna be where you are I just wanna be where you are Cause you and I never really happen cause we don't ask why And you and I living in this fantasy Why won't you talk to me? Talk to me
