cut you out

winter's biting
I feel the pain
while you are stabbing
me again
a piercing sound
splits the air
I know our love's
beyond repair

got to cut you out
cut you out of my mind
got to cut you out
got to leave our love behind
got to cut you out

I was a fool
and I'm still mad
while you're still haunting
in my head
I've lost my path
I'm out of sync
you can destroy me
with a blink

got to cut you out
cut you out of my mind
got to cut you out
got to leave our love behind
got to cut you out

my dreams were reaching farther
much farther than you'd go
my hopes were reaching higher
but you would keep me low

got to cut you out
cut you out of my mind
got to cut you out
got to leave our love behind
got to cut you out

do not hold back

she's the girl that goes under your skin
she's the price you would like to win
she's the girl right out of your dream
but you won't get her holding on to another Jim Beam
sitting around like you're paralyzed
demoralized
oh no-ho

seize the girl right out of your dream
but you won't win her holding on to another Jim Beam

open up
and don't worry, your chance is there
take the risk
and just give your best, and beat your scare
give it all
and do not refuse the dare
show your loving

show your love
and don't worry, you'll get the knack
take the risk
and just give your best, do not hold back
give it all
and don't worry, you will not crack
but do not hold back

she's the girl that makes your heart pound
she's your princess as yet still uncrowned
she's the girl you've been hoping for
but you won't get her if you do not come out some more
sitting around like you're paralyzed
demoralized
oh no-ho

seize the girl you've been hoping for
but you won't win her if you do not come out some more

show your love
and don't worry, you'll get the knack
take the risk
and just give your best, do not hold back
give it all
and don't worry, you will not crack
but do not hold back

open up
and don't worry, your chance is there
take the risk
and just give your best, and beat your scare
give it all
and do not refuse the dare
show your loving

show your love
and don't worry, you'll get the knack
take the risk
and just give your best, do not hold back
give it all
and don't worry, you will not crack
but do not hold back

 

gotta see my shrink

hey, babe, you just wear me out
I can't think straight, and without doubt
I'm not myself when I'm with you
I'm not in charge of what I do
I'm a dead loss, I'm out of touch
this can't go on, thank you very much

gotta see my shrink
gotta get you out of my mind
gotta see my shrink
gotta find some way to unwind
gotta see my shrink

hey, babe, your cravings wear me thin
I'm innocent of the state I'm in
I'm dead beat after nights with you
I've no idea of what to do
goin' 'round in circles, no way out
I just have to declare my rout

gotta see my shrink
gotta get you out of my mind
gotta see my shrink
go to find some way to unwind
gotta see my shrink

I wonder if you'll ever get enough
I do not know if you could call love
what we are having

gotta see my shrink
gotta get you out of my mind
gotta see my shrink
go to find some way to unwind
gotta see my shrink

Good morning, love

Good morning, love
I bring the morning tea
and eggs for you and me
some jam, some toasted bread
let's break the fast in bed
Good morning, love

Good morning, love
now that the day's begun
let's greet the morning sun
let's seize the brandnew day
in our private way
Good morning, love

Good morning, love
I've put some music on
I chose your favorite song
a tune to soothe the soul
like a mental stroll
Good morning, love

now I am standing here, confused
and if you asked me how I feel
I'd have to say "somewhat unreal"

Good morning, love
in my fantasy
I still see you and me
sitting side by side
in the first morning light
Good morning, love

 

the first night

why can't
time just stand still for us
capturing this one spell of the moment
why can't the good things last
why can't we keep the past
living in cherished mem'ries
why does our life have to go on
when there's reason just to hold on
please don't tear me out of my sweet reverie
leave me my daydream
leave me this small gleam
of a love that once has been and that may come back again
of a dream that once was true and that may come true again

at the first time we met
our eyes just kept locked
and the world 'round us faded away

the first night we met
our eyes just kept locked
we were dancing the night away

how fast
you've got me off your mind
belying this one perfect moment (in my life)
all dreams and hopes belied
I saw the new man by your side
a sight to shatter my sweet dreams
squashing my hope that I'd at last
found my girl, a love to last
how come that things are so different than they seemed to me
so now I am again
left out in the rain
with a love that once has been but may not come back again
with a dream that once was true but may not come true again

at the first time we met
our eyes just kept locked
and the world 'round us faded away

the first night we met
our eyes just kept locked
we were dancing the night away

but tonight I'm spotting yet again
the sparkle in your eyes
yeah, tonight there is some hope again
that our love may survive

at the first time we met
our eyes just kept locked
and the world 'round us faded away

the first night we met
our eyes just kept locked
we were dancing the ni-ight away

legalize me

I ain't doin' nobody no harm
I give no reason for raising alarm
I'm friendly, I'm kind, I am rather relaxed
I'm givin' people what their life lacks

what is it that some want to fight?
I'm here for your pleasure, for your delight
I'm gentle, I horny, I'm game for a laugh
I'm witty, ironic, and I like to chaff

legalize me
don't penalize me
realize me
don't demonize me
legalize me

don't make a fuss about things you don't know
don't make statements whose proof you can't show
I don't claim your trust in advance
just try me out and and give us a chance

legalize me
don't penalize me
realize me
don't demonize me
legalize me

Hey, my friend
won't you just cool down a bit and relax
have a nice cup of tea with me and a smoke
let's have it cosy, maybe have a little sex

legalize me
don't penalize me
realize me
don't demonize me
legalize me

 

you don't make things easy

the world's a place where coins are tossed
life's a game with win and loss
sometimes you're sweet, sometimes you're cross with me
for reasons I can't see

you're never playing by the rule
you love to make me look the fool
you can be sweet, you can be cruel, and I
just can't make out why

Hey Babe, you don't make things easy
you don't try hard to please me
you're jealous, angry, and you're wild
now you're mature, then you're a child
I love you all the same
but you don't make things easy

I'm not sure which game you play
but I love you anyway
I'll buy you flowers now and then, though you
don't honour what I do

Hey Babe, you don't make things easy
you don't try hard to please me
you're jealous, angry, and you're wild
now you're mature, then you're a child
I love you all the same
but you don't make things easy

Hey Babe, ...

play with me

Oh, I'm in the mood to toy and tease
I know I can coax and please
messin' around makes me feel like

flirting time
oh I feel like it
it lies in the way you are dancing
the way that you show off your body
looking gorgeously sexy tonight

play with me
dance with me
yeah, play with me
don't fear the fire

play with me
dance with me
yeah, play with me
touch me, kiss me, love me

party time
oh I feel like it
I love to groove and to be dancing
and I like to show off my body
feeling gorgeously sexy tonight

play with me
dance with me
yeah, play with me
don't fear the fire

play with me
dance with me
yeah, play with me
touch me, kiss me, love me
