Breakfast in America

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.

I’m Done With The Pain


There's one place inside my mind where I don't wanna stay
It's a place I've been before from where lovers walked away
When I think I've come this time when I gave myself to you
How I did it all for us and you just did it all for you
It's clear it was about yourself you never really cared for me
You just took whatever you could get to satisfy your selfish need

I'm done with the pain
of this you can be sure
that I won't let you touch me anymore
cuz I'm done with the game
make no mistake
that I won't let you use me like before

I think I wanted you so much it blinded me this way
You had me lying to myself that there would be a change
But since it all remains the same it's best to walk away
To save those things we can't regain like time forever lost
Looking back I turn to see you made no future plans with me
You had me giving all I that I could give for so little you gave in return

I'm done with the pain
of this you can be sure
that I won't let you touch me anymore
cuz I'm done with the game
make no mistake
that I won't let you use me like before

Hot N Cold

You change your mind like a girl changes clothes
Yeah, you change your mind like a girl I would know
And you always think, always speak cryptically
I should know that you're no good for me

'Cause you're hot and you're cold
You're yes and you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

You're wrong when it's right
You're black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We hug, we make up

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
But you, you don't really wanna go, oh

'Cause you're hot and you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

We used to be just like twins, so in sync
The same energy now's a dead battery
Used to laugh 'bout nothing, now you're plain boring
I should know that you're not gonna change

'Cause you're hot and you're cold
You're yes and you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

You're wrong when it's right
You're black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We hug, we make up

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
But you, you don't really wanna go, oh

You're hot and you're cold
You're yes and you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love disorder
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride

You change your mind like a girl changes clothes

'Cause you're hot and you're cold
You're yes and you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

You're wrong when it's right
You're black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We hug, we make up

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
But you, you don't really wanna go, oh

You're hot and you're cold
You're yes and you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

Don't Fall Down

Don't fall down,
If you see her
Don't fall down,
If you're by her side
Don't fall down
When you're near her
Don't fall down
If your voice is tied
Don't fall down
Don't decieve her
Don't fall down
Tell her what you feel
Don't fall down
She'll precieve you
Don't fall down
If your voice is real
Everytime you need her, she is there
To ease the pain that fogs you
And when you don't need her, from her stare:
She says she's needing you
Don't fall down
As you love her
Don't fall down
She loves only you
Don't fall down
As you lift her
Don't fall down
She believes in you
Don't fall down
From beside her
Don't fall down
Keep behind her eyes
Don't fall down
They're behind you
Don't fall down
As the thought applies
If you want to rise,
You must place someone where you are standing
Everything she learns is on her face
Your strength is all she's demanding
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it?
(Don't fall down)
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it?
(Don't fall down)
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it?
(Don't fall down)
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it?
(Don't fall down)
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it? If you need her
(Don't fall down) Keep your promises
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it? If you see her
(Don't fall down) Give her all your kisses
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it? As you warm her
(Don't fall down) Never disapoint her
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it? As you hold her
(Don't fall down) Do all that you told her
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it?
Everytime you need her, she is there
To ease the pain that fogs you
And when you don't need her, from her stare:
She says she's needing you

Shining in her eyes

When she looks at me
I know the girl sees things
Nobody else can see

All of the secret fears inside
And all the craziness I hide
She looks into my soul
And reads me like nobody can

And she doesnt judge the man
She just takes me as I am

Come what may, she believes
And that faith is something
Ive never known before
Come what may, she loves me
And that love has helped me open a door
Making me love myself a little more

When I turn away
She knows those are the times
Theres nothing she can say

Nothing that anyone can do
And so she lets me live it through
And when Im in my darkest hour of uncertainty
She just simply lets me be
And goes right on loving me

And when it seems my dreams
Have all slipped through my fingers
When they just cant be found
I turn around and there they are

Love Of A Rolling Stone

You hate old Chicago in the Wintertime
When the cold wind blows right through ya
And you said it ain't no fun
You called west, a dream come true
Then one week it got the best of you
On a path right in that Oklahoma sun
Swore if this day ever came
There'd be no strings, no playing games
Misty eyes and sad goodbyes to say
When love is gone why try to put a finger on what happened
When somewhere down the road it slipped away

(chorus)
All I ever wanted was a baby in my arms
A wedding ring and a simple thing called home
All you ever gave me
Was a look down some old highway
The sky above and the love of a rolling stone

I remember when you told me
That you'd always be a drifting man
And you didn't need another hungry mouth to feed
Well, I won't bring a child into the world between roses
And a thorn and the sight of a tumbling tumbleweed
One day you may miss me
But I hope you don't feel guilty
Go chase the sun until your dying day
But inside me there's a second little heartbeat that goes with me
And the one more thing that happened on the way

Love Of A Rolling Stone -- Bonnie Tyler
