If I told you, baby
That I love you so
Would you say the same
Or would you let me go?
Mmhmm
Mmhmm
About this thing we're doing
Is it really real?
Or is it just a fling?
Tell me what's the deal
Mmhmm
Mmhmm
'Cause I like you
And baby, you like me
It feels to me
Like synchronicity
Mmhmm
Synchronicity
CHORUS:
Let's not play all the games
Let's lay it on the line
Tell me that you want me
And want to be mine
This playing games is hard
And it's hardly worth the time
To pretend that I don't want you
I want you to be mine
If I told you, baby
That I love you so
Would you hold me close
Or would you let me go?
Mmhmm
Mmhmm
The way I'm feeling
Should be understood
I think you feel the same
And I think that's good
Mmhmm
Mmhmm
Tell me what you think
Am I off base here?
I've just gotta know
'Cause I love you, dear
Mmhmm
'Cause I love you, dear
CHORUS:
Let's not play all the games
Let's lay it on the line
Tell me that you want me
And want to be mine
This playing games is hard
And it's hardly worth the time
To pretend that I don't want you
I want you to be mine
Let's not play all the games
Let's lay it on the line
Tell me that you want me
And want to be mine
This playing games is hard
And it's hardly worth the time
To pretend that I don't love you
And want you to be mine
If I told you, baby
That I love you so
Would you say the same
Or would you let me go?
It hurts to say I love you And hear silence in return I hate to have to think it But I think that bridge is burned There's never been someone I've loved as much Nor will there be I wish she hadn't stopped Loving me I probably have myself to blame I'm certainly no prize I wonder how it felt to look At me through her green eyes If only I had known the way She wanted me to be She might have never stopped Loving me CHORUS Yes, she stopped loving me And now I pay the cost With a broken heart And with broken dreams And a crippling sense of loss I grieve for her I miss her so What she wants was not in me For reasons that were all her own She stopped loving me Forget the past and just move on Some friends of mine have said Stop dwelling on what you can't change It messes with your head But never did they see her sides That only I could see Before she went and stopped Loving me CHORUS Yes, she stopped loving me And now I pay the cost With a broken heart And with broken dreams And a crippling sense of loss I grieve for her I miss her so What she wants was not in me For reasons that were all her own She stopped loving me For reasons that were all her own She stopped loving me
I see you out about in town Each now and then We get to talking Almost like we did back when I almost fool myself to think It's all the same 'Til my fantasy comes crashing down You say his name CHORUS Don't mention his name It's more than I can bear 'Cuz I'm all alone While he's with you there Don't mention his name Oh, it hurts me so 'Cuz you let him in When you let me go I'm the guy who loved To take you anywhere If we were together Then I didn't care I go to places where we went They're not the same In our circumstance The blame all falls upon one name CHORUS Don't mention his name It's more than I can bear 'Cuz I'm all alone While he's with you there Don't mention his name Oh, it hurts me so 'Cuz you let him in When you let me go Every time I think I'm making some headway To get back in your heart Right where I want to stay I hear the word that breaks my heart And kills my flame That dreaded word comes from your lips You say his name CHORUS Don't mention his name It's more than I can bear 'Cuz I'm all alone While he's with you there Don't mention his name Oh, it hurts me so 'Cuz you let him in When you let me go 'Cuz you let him in When you let me go
Hey, pretty baby I'm telling you That it don't mean much that your eyes aren't blue They're beautiful through and through Like you I see the way you look at me There's nothing else that makes me so happy I'm happier than I could ever be Just me CHORUS I kissed you in a dream About me and you I kissed you in a dream And my dream came true I kissed you in a dream Now I'm living that dream And the dream is you The freckles on your lovely face Are like a constellation in outer space While here on Earth my rough hands brace Your face We cling together in the cool night air I nuzzle close to your fragrant hair There's no better place than being there Night air CHORUS I kissed you in a dream About me and you I kissed you in a dream And my dream came true I kissed you in a dream Now I'm living that dream And the dream is you We float together through moonlit night You dance in and out of the firelight No one else has ever felt so right At night CHORUS I kissed you in a dream About me and you I kissed you in a dream And my dream came true I kissed you in a dream Now I'm living that dream And the dream is you I kissed you in a dream Now I'm living that dream And the dream is you
Big Sister sure could bake A great poundcake So moist and so delicious How much butter does that take? Each and every holiday We'd count on Sister's sweets Like cakes and pies and gooey things And other yummy treats Big Sister had the worst Bad taste in men They'd treat her wrong in every way She'd take them back again She'd feed them and she'd clothe them And she'd give them everything They never gave her anything Especially not a ring Big Sister was a nurse Most of her life She worked ER and transplant And helped save those in strife She loved to help her patients The thousands that there were All owe a debt of gratitude In no small part to her Big Sister ran real late Most all the time The reasons for her tardiness Lacked reason and lacked rhyme The one time she was early Was when God took her home He wanted my Big Sister For a Sister of his own
People tell me I should write a happy song But every time I try it always comes out wrong I try to think about when I was happy, then The more I think about it I get sad again I know that one man's happiness should not depend On being wed or having him a girlfriend But the last time I was happy was when she was mine The best that I can do without her is "Doing fine" CHORUS This is my happy song Come on and sing along Lalalalalalala ding dong This is my happy song Folks today are so concerned for people's moods They doubt that there's good reason for their attitudes But everyone's not happy, and not all the time And last I heard a frown is a victimless crime "At least you have your health" is just a nonsense phrase From some unhappy soul who has seen better days There's more to being hurt than what is physical If someone tells you different they are slingin' bull---- CHORUS This is my happy song Come on and sing along Lalalalalalala ding dong This is my happy song I guess you'll now believe I can't write happy songs A different category is where this belongs I start with good intentions, but just end up wrong You should have believed I couldn't do it all along CHORUS This is my happy song Come on and sing along Lalalalalalala ding dong This is my happy song This is my happy song This is my happy song Ding Dong!
I met her at a short-lived job She was much too young for me But I thought she was beautiful And her smile made me so happy So I asked her out Though full of doubt My doubt was rightfully earned She wasn't interested in return She asked if I was married and I just laughed And recounted to her of my past CHORUS I'm too little loved I've never been close To being a husband, a father, or most Of all of the things that most men achieve But I won't wear my heart on my sleeve Am I good enough? Cuz I'm too little loved Too many times I have thought A woman I've met is the one Only to find out she's not After it's over and done They never last They all ended so fast Whatever it is women want It's something that I don't possess The more that my interest grows in them The more that theirs grows less and less CHORUS I'm too little loved I've never been close To being a husband, a father, or most Of all of the things that most men achieve But I won't wear my heart on my sleeve Am I good enough? Cuz I'm too little loved BRIDGE There's not someone for everyone I'm living proof But that doesn't mean we give up on life And stop looking for the truth CHORUS I'm too little loved I've never been close To being a husband, a father, or most Of all of the things that most men achieve But I won't wear my heart on my sleeve Am I good enough? Cuz I'm too little loved Am I good enough? Cuz I'm too little loved
Our first time spent together was a short walk late one night You stopped by on your way home and we walked under moonlight I gently kissed your forehead and I knew right then and there I love you, and I'm not going anywhere We started to see more and more of each other, I'd persist I tried to be a gentleman, but your body I can't resist Your gold-green eyes still take my breath; I still love your curly hair I love you, and I'm not going anywhere CHORUS You could break my heart a hundred times, and I'd come back for one more You could kick me out your house and slam my face in your front door But if you ever need a thing just call and I'll be there Cuz I love you, and I'm not going anywhere We fell in love so quickly; almost too hard to believe We loved to be together and we'd never want to leave I've never felt such love before; our souls were both laid bare I love you, and I'm not going anywhere We had some times together that were great and that were fun But you got over loving me and now we two are done But I'm not over loving you; life's not always fair I love you, and I'm not going anywhere CHORUS You could break my heart a hundred times, and I'd come back for one more You could kick me out your house and slam my face in your front door But if you ever need a thing just call and I'll be there Cuz I love you, and I'm not going anywhere I love you, and I'm not going anywhere
Everywhere I go I see your face It makes me smile and long for your warm embrace But it's never really your face that I see Just a tear reflecting from your memory CHORUS I can't get you off my mind Though you've left me far behind Now I sit here and I whine While you yourself are doing fine In the middle of my cryin' I'm still looking for a sign Anything that I can find To help me get you off my mind I'll never love another like I do Despite my broken heart, there's still no one but you Though I know that I could never win you back My memories of you keep my love intact CHORUS I can't get you off my mind Though you've left me far behind Now I sit here and I whine While you yourself are doing fine In the middle of my cryin' I'm still looking for a sign Anything that I can find To help me get you off my mind I watch a ton of movies and TV To get you off my mind, but nothing helps, you see Cuz something always makes me think of you What's a man like me supposed to do CHORUS I can't get you off my mind Though you've left me far behind Now I sit here and I whine While you yourself are doing fine In the middle of my cryin' I'm still looking for a sign Anything that I can find To help me get you off my mind No, there's nothing I can find I can't get you off my mind
