Walking Out The Door
Cummings/Martin Armiger |
Every night I see your picture on the wall I stick little pins in it One day you'll call You'll fall You've been saying one thing And meaning another Talking like a friend Acting like a lover Playing me for a fool Well you know your eyes can cut like a knife Your face is all scared Walking out the door ?With love looking? over your shoulder Walking out the door ?With love looking? over your shoulder Now I know all your friends Are going to ring and ask what happened I see their faces as I'm walking down the street I know it's nothing to get upset about But isn't that what love does? Every night I see your number on my wall I stick little pins in it One day you'll call You'll call You've been saying one thing And meaning another Talking like a friend Acting like a lover Playing me for a fool Well you're so ambitious I just couldn't keep up the pace Walking out the door ?With love looking? over your shoulder Walking out the door ?With love looking? over your shoulder

Only A Lonely Man
Hunter/Verdi |
Once I thought that love was a toy for girls and boys I never gave my heart I just played the part, right from the start Then there was you, sweet you With a love that I knew I knew was true But in my pride I left you behind Just hanging on now love is gone Only a lonely man would know The bitter tears I've cried Since I've lost you darling Since you said goodbye Only a lonely man would know The hurt inside of me Since I've let my pride make a fool of me Ask any lonely man you see (Hurt me baby) Ask any lonely person like me (Hurt me baby) Foolishly girl, I broke my heart Now we're apart Now in my lonely room I just reminisce long for you kiss And through my lonely fears I see straight ahead Long lonely years Without your love My world, my world's at an end Blank's closing in Now I know What I was too slow in learning Now I know Now that I'm all alone and yearning Only a lonely man would know The bitter tears I cry (only a lonely man) Since I've lost you darling Since you said goodbye Only a lonely man would know The hurt inside of me Since I let my pride make a fool of me Ask any lonely man you see (Hurt me baby) Only a lonely man would know The hurt inside of me
Stuck On Love
Cummings/Ian Stephen |
Picturing you, picturing me Backed up against the wall Bob haircut, short shift Five foot six inches tall So unusual Everybody can tell So unusual So you're stuck on love Peek-a-boo eyes Black cashmere Full of contradictions Terse words, a cold silence Silly suspicions So unusual Everybody can tell It's unusual So you're stuck on love You're curious Stop talking, take note Pay attention to me You're so funny I've become someone else Stuck on love You're so Stuck on love
This Feeling Will Survive
Cummings/Ian Stephen |
It's alive This feeling will somehow survive A mistake That we'll have to remake One to one It seems complete Roller skates On your feet I see how Pieces fit together now I'll admit An idea takes hold and won't quit Chipping away at an obsession Problems of possession This feeling will survive It'll carry on (it'll carry on) This feeling will survive It'll carry on Just as strong (carry on) I can change Superstitions that strike me as strange Opportunity Reconstruct our identity One to one, it seems so complete Roller skates on your feet This feeling will survive It'll carry on (it'll carry on) This feeling will survive It'll carry on Just as strong (carry on)
Almost
Cummings/Ian Stephen |
Walking with an angel It's summer, now be serious Disillusioned Oh but not quiet close enough Love shivers and turns itself inside and out I see you I have to shout Am I dreaming I suppose Almost, almost But I'll be sticking around All the things we did together Didn't we always have fun Didn't always know just what we done
