You Lie Down with Dogs
You're such a cool woman but I love you Such a cruel woman but I love you Open up your eyes and realise You're such a fool woman but I love you But give me all you've got to give Cause it sure feels good to me I'm not your only man I'm just a lover Not your only man just another Open up your eyes and realise I'm gonna take what I can like any other I'll say any damn thing that you want me to Cause it don't mean a thing to me Well You lie down with dogs, you fall in with thieves You're gonna catch something but you do as you please You're scartchin' an itch that nothing can ease You lie down with dogs you get up with fleas Get out and find yourself another lover Why don't you find yourself another lover Open up your eyes and realise You don't mean nothing to me I'm not your mother You gave me all that you had to give But there's a whole lotta fish in the sea Well You lie down with dogs, you fall in with thieves You're gonna catch something but you do as you please You're scartchin' an itch that nothing can ease You lie down with dogs you get up with fleas
I'd Rather Be a Man
You don't fool me with your tinted eyes and make up The firebird hides in shadow when you wake up Your golden hair is black Your jeans are tight but your hide is slack Try it on the company but you don't fool me Well I'd rather be a man than play my role like you do I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do I'd rather be a man than slave the way that you do I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do You don't fool me with your easy lies and fables You won't see me in ten buck furs and sables You sparkle like a snake The wine is real but the glass is fake Blame it on the apple tree but you don't fool me Well I'd rather be a man than play my role like you do I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do I'd rather be a man than slave the way that you do I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do Your golden hair is black Your jeans are tight but your hide is slack Try it on the company but you don't fool me Well I'd rather be a man than play my role like you do I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do I'd rather be a man than slave the way that you do I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you I'd rather be a man cause I wouldn't wanna be like you
You Won't Be There
Show me a promised land and I will go anywhere And if you ask me to take my time I'll wait for years I'll hold on though the whole world tells me I'm wrong Someday, someday But it seems so long Ask me to prove my love and I will do anything So if they turn off the light of the sun why should I care I'll hold on though the whole world tells me I'm wrong Then in the morning as you leave me You touch my hand to show how much you care But just when I need you You won't be there I'll hold on but I need a shoulder to lean on Why if you love me must you leave me Why are you going anywhere Why must our love be something in the air Cause just when I need you You won't be there You won't be there
Winding Me Up
Well it was only a game she was mine for the asking And I'd figured the whole thing out When she told me her name it was more that a feeling There wasn't any doubt Well it felt so good it was too hard to break it Too much for me to explain But in a matter of time I'm gonna be myself again You've been Winding me up too long I'm over my head is it day or night Cause woman you ain't so strong But you caught me by surprise Burned me with your eyes Cut me down to size Saw through my disguise Well it was only a game she was only a number But I figured it out all wrong Every time that I said I'll move on tomorrow I hung around too long Well it felt so good it was too hard to break it Too much before me to face Now I got nowhere to run she knows my every hidin' place You've been Winding me up too long I'm over my head is it day or night Cause woman you ain't so strong But you caught me by surprise Burned me with your eyes Cut me down to size Saw through my disguise Winding me up too long I'm over my head is it day or night Cause woman you ain't so strong But you caught me by surprise Burned me with your eyes Cut me down to size Beat me to the prize Hurt me with your lies Saw through my disguise Burned me with your eyes Cut me down to size Saw through my disguise
Damned If I Do
I ain't got a heart of stone I'm hurtin' more than I've ever kown If you mean the things you said I'm gonna wind up outa my head Can't sleep alone at night I just can't seem to get it right Damned if I do I'm damned if I don't but love you I don't wanna tie you down Don't need a reason to have you around But each time you wal away Don't be surprised if I ask you to stay Can't sleep alone at night I just can't seem to get it right Damned if I do I'm damned if I don't but love you I said I'm damned if I do I'm damned if I don't cause love you I ain't got a heart of stone You haven't left me a mind of my own But it's such a hold on me I don't think I could ever be free How can I survive I'm fighting to keep myself alive I'm damned if I do Damned if I don't but love you Can't seem to see the light I've done everything but I can't get it right Damned if I do Damned if I don't but love you
Don't Hold Back
Some are born to lose their heads And some are born to use them And some will never know their ends And some are born to choose them Don't let your fantasies be blinded by the light You don't have to save your wildest dreams for the night Don't hold back don't hold back don't hold back reach out Touch the sky with your mind's eye, don't be afraid to reach out Some you wind and some you lose And some will bring you sorrow Some are born to lead the rest And some are born to follow Don't rely on miracles to open any door And don't your let a shadow be your guide anymore Don't hold back don't hold back don't hold back reach out Touch the sky with your mind's eye, don't be afraid to reach out Ride the wave of destiny Rise above the crest And believe everything that happens to you happens for the best Don't allow the world of men To turn your head no more Cause if you can't let yourself go What are you saving yourself for? Don't hold back don't hold back don't hold back reach out Touch the sky with your mind's eye, don't be afraid to reach out Don't you let your fantasies be blinded by the light For you don't have to save your wildest deams for the night Don't hold back don't hold back don't hold back reach out Touch the sky with your mind's eye, don't be afraid to reach out
If I Could Change Your Mind
I prefer to spend my time is solitary ways Keeping myself to myselff Can't pretend that it's been easy since you went away Living with somebody else If you should change your mind If you would turn around and look behind If you could see me the way I used to be At the rist of bringing back the sorrow and despair I would do it all again Holding on to memories and pretending not to care Knowing that the show was soon to end If only I could change your mind If only you would change If I had the chance I'd do it all again I would do it all again I remember windy shores on melancholy days Drifting along with the tide And the joy of simple things and ordinary ways Taking is all in my stride If you should change your mind If I could let you see what lies behind If you could need me the way it used to be Even for a moment of the happy times we shared Living in my dreams since then At the risk of losing only castles in the air Come with me and we can try again Oh, if I could change your mind Can't pretend it's not been lonely since you went away Oh, if only I could change your mind
