The Vow



I could make a promise to you,
But that would be too easy to do.
You see I've made them before,
And broken them and they're no good anymore.
So I'll dig a little bit deeper,
Give you something you can keep
I will make a vow to you,
And it will never change no matter what I do.
Right here, right now,
In the midst of the crowd,
I stand alone and make my vow.
Whatever it takes I will be faithful
This is my vow.

As the words fall from my lips,
We both know the life I live,
How I stumble and fall,
How many times I land short of the call.
I will confess my inadequacy,
Throw myself into the mystery.
That somehow in the deoth of your love,
You will help me do what I'm not capable of.

Right here, right now,
In the midst of the crowd,
I stand alone and make my vow.
Whatever it takes I will be faithful.
Right here, right now,
Let there be no doubt.
Let every whisper, with every shout,
Let the whole world know I will be faithful,
This is my vow.

Does This Mean You're Moving On?



And the funny thing is it has no end
I try to call you up, at 2am
In a crowded bar, your ringer tones
Grab my mind

I can see you through the phone,
The phone, the phone
And I'm wide awake at home
At home, at home
So think I'll seem like a cat
And hope you don't catch
The bourbon on my breath
My breath, my breath

Catch a cab outside on Seventh Street
And the cars fly through the Bowery
I come to your door and I hear a moan
Then another voice, so Christ, she's not alone
Alone, alone
And my heart sinks like a stone
A stone, a stone
And the tears won't even come
I feel so numb
So swept aside, so dumb
So dumb, so dumb

When the words are wrong
And my patience gone
Will you tell me
Does this mean you're moving on?

From the balcony, you call my name
I see you standing in the rain
Your words so dry, your face so wet
Said I broke your heart,
But it hasn't happened yet
I'll bet, your friends all hate me now
I get the strangest looks,
From that bitchy crowd
And though, they must think
They have every reason to
I guess I'm still not quite yet over you

When the words are wrong
And you're hanging on
Another guy's arm
Does this mean you're moving on?

Goodbye To You



There's so much I want to say now
But it's too late i know
There's no way to heal these wounds now
And my heart bleeds for you

And our love is crashing
Like a tidal wave
Coming over me

So I wanted you to know
That i finally let you go
After all i've held on to
This is my goodbye to you
I was always there for you
But you never saw the truth
And the reason that i know
Is i've finally let you go

Yesterday you were my best friend
But tomorrow took you away
There's not much for me to say now
Just goodbye, farewell

And our love is crashing
Like a tidal wave
Coming over me

So I wanted you to know
That i finally let you go
After all i've held on to
This is my goodbye to you
I was always there for you
But you never saw the truth
And the reason that i know
Is i've finally let you go

And every time i close my eyes
My heart is bleeding deep inside
But now my eyes are open
And i'm never gonna be the one for you
The one for you

So I wanted you to know
That i finally let you go
After all i've held on to
This is my goodbye to you
I was always there for you
But you never saw the truth
And the reason that i know
Is i've finally let you go

I finally let you go
Let you go
Let you go so this is my goodbye to you.

I'll Never Fall In Love Again

What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
Thats what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do he'll never phone you
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what its all about
Cause I've been there and I'm glad, I'm out
Out of those chains,those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you need a guy?
You get enough tears to feel an ocean
Thats what you get for your devotion
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what its all about
Cause I've been there and I'm glad, I'm out
Out of those chains,those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
Nothing but pain, lies and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again

I'll Never Fall In Love Again -- Ella Fitzgerald

Loyal To No One

I first meet this man at the Cammen street Tracks
In no shape for success headed nowhere to fast

He may have been someone once by the sound of his call
Now he answers to no one
NO-ONE AT ALL!

We all die alone, he shouted as he passed
With no sense of regret, see he never looked back

Though his pride was wounded, his ego was strong
Yea that was his Trouble and this is his Song

You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight
There'll be no talking your way out this time
So don't count the cash cause you leave it behind

His friends come and go like the seasons and tide
He can't keep a women they all realize
He loves them, leaves them, takes what he needs
He's loyal to no one, no one at all

You were brought up well still in spite of it all
You're touched by nothing, watch a man fall
Put a foot on his back to get a better view
Cause your loyal to No-one. NO-ONE BUT YOU!

You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight
There'll be no talking your way out this time
So don't count the cash cause you leave it behind

He was broken and tired wouldn't take a hand
Their kindness was simple but he couldn't understand

See it's hard to have faith in something so new
When your loyal to no one, NO-ONE BUT YOU!

You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight
There'll be no talking your way out this time
So don't count the cash cause you leave it behind

You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight

Tonight I'm Yours (don't Hurt Me)

Yeah - I can tell by the look in your eyes
You've been bored for a long
long time.
You need love and so do 1
let's turn it all around.

I don't want an everlasting thing
I don't care if I see you again.
So grab your coat and Honey
tell your friends
You won't be home
you won't be home
you won't be home.

Tonight I'm yours - do anything that you want me to
Don't hurt me
don't hurt me. Tonight I'm yours -
Do anything cause I want you to
just don't hurt me
Babe.

Yeah - I don't really wanna challenge you
Marry you or remember you.
I just wanna make love to you
For 24 hours or more
or more.

I'm only looking for a fantasy -
An interlude from reality.
Don't want nobody tryin' to rescue me
So rock me Babe
rock me Babe
rock me
rock me.

Tonight I'm yours - . . .
And tomorrow morning we won't cry
You go your way Honey
I go mine.
I'm the one who didn't waste your time -
Remember me this way.

And if you never see my face again
Think of me as a permanent friend -
The one that loved you like a hurricane
Then disappeared
disappeared
disappeared.

Tonight I'm yours - . . .
Tonight I'm yours - . . .
Tonight you're mine
tonight you're mine

Do anything
do anything . . .

Tonight I'm Yours (don't Hurt Me) -- Rod Stewart
