I’ll take whatever love and kindness Any tender care you can spare me Yes I’ll take a little consolation Feel emotionally supported that you thought of me
But I know you’ll continue to take me for granted And I’ll see you pretending to take me seriously
CHORUS I’ve made up my mind You’ll be the last thing on it I’ve had a change of heart And you’re not in it I’ve made up my mind You’re the last thing on it
I’ll be taking some time out Such a tragic episode to get over And you’ll take pains to appease me Try to cultivate the friendship, make ammends with me
But I know you’ll continue to take me for granted And I’ll see you pretending to take me seriously
CHORUS I’ve made up my mind You’ll be the last thing on it I’ve had a change of heart And you’re not in it I’ve made up my mind You’re the last thing on it
I’ve made up my mind Leaving you behind Last thing on my mind
You’ll take umbrage with my views Say that everything I thought ain’t how it ought to be And I’ll take the chance to reconsider Maybe things were only bad cos they had to be
But I know you’d continue to take me for granted And I′d see you pretending to take me seriously
CHORUS I’ve made up my mind You’ll be the last thing on it I’ve had a change of heart And you’re not in it I’ve made up my mind You’re the last thing on it
CHORUS I’ve made up my mind You’ll be the last thing on it I’ve had a change of heart You no longer fill it I’ve made up my mind You’re the last thing on it
You must have noticed by now How I give you crazy reasons To keep hangin’ round You should have figured it out When I’m standing so close to you I must leave no doubt
If I want something I don’t hesitate When a good thing calls to me Why wait?
CHORUS If you’re tryin’ to stop me falling in love with you It’s too late It’s too late If you’re takin’ it slow, but your heart wants me so Why wait? If it’s fate Why wait?
I try to read all the signs Are you seeking my company Am I on your mind You always greet me so tender As if something more you’d like to say Lies between the lines
Don’t be uncertain That I feel this way When a sure thing calls to you Why wait?
CHORUS If you’re tryin’ to stop me falling in love with you It’s too late It’s too late If you’re takin’ it slow, but your heart wants me so Why wait? If it’s fate Why wait?
Can you surrender And trust in me? Can you believe in destiny?
If you want something Don’t hestitate I’m a good thing here for you so Why wait?
CHORUS If you’re tryin’ to stop me falling in love with you It’s too late It’s too late If you’re takin’ it slow, but your heart wants me so Why wait? If it’s fate Why wait?
Now the story′s out I see how it′s been You′ve been living it up While I′ve been lost in a dream Said you were faithful I believed your lies I have been your fool But now it′s me who′s got wise
All the while I gave to you my heart and soul You just left me out in the cold
I′ve been blind I′ve been taken for a ride You used me and you lied But somehow I didn′t see I′ve been Blind While you were my lover You said there was no other As you cheated on me
So long have I waited Just to learn the truth So humiliated by the things that you do Fooled by your deception Tricked by your disguise Never saw the secrets That were there in you eyes
All the while I gave to you my heart and soul You just left me out in the cold
Chorus
I closed my eyes, I fell asleep and I dreamed...... I dreamed of perfect love , pure and true I dreamed of perfect love for me andyou But the while I gave to you my heart and soul You just left me out in the cold
For all of the days when the world seems crazy All of the nights when you cry alone For all of the times when your heart′s in trouble Facing the storm and you′re on your own
Someway, somehow Even though I feel so helpless now I know your love will see me through somehow Someway, somehow As you turn to me and say Somehow love will show us the way
All of the times when it′s such as struggle All of the heartache you′ve ever know And when the tears seem to come so easy There′s just no joy that you can call your own
Chorus
When I need a beacon to guide the way When I fell too weary to face the day Trying to make it through the darkest hour You can turn to love and feel it′s power....
I, I don′t believe you Something about you just don′t add up I, I don′t believe you And I just can′t see you staying true to me
I don′t mean to say that you′ve been lying But don′t you think it′s just a matter of time You want me to be your only one No but I, I don′t believe you
Whatcha gonna do to win me over? Whatcha gonna do to prove me wrong? how can I deny all the talk about you When I hear the things you do... Listen to me I′m saying
I, I don′t believe you Something about you just don′t add up I, I don′t believe you And I just can′t see you staying true to me No cause I, I don′t believe you Don′t believe you, I don′t believe you
All I need to see is your devotion And all I need to feel is your emotion but how can I trust all your promises to me When you ain′t the man you seem to be..... Listen to me I′m saying
Choruses
Hey! I don′t believe you Nothing about you I can′t give up No no no I, I don′t believe you And I just won′t see you if you lie to me
Cause I don′t believe you I′ve heard about you and I′ve hard enough I, I don′t believe you And I just won′t see you if you lie to me
I used to live on coffee and nicotine Used to think that I knew everything Used to put things off ‘til never Acting like I’m o’ so clever Collected friends that couldn’t be trusted Searched for love that never lasted Used to take this life for granted Judged myself not up to standard
CHORUS But I can choose to be The me I wanna be When I finally learn I’m shaping my universe But I can choose to be The me I wanna be When I finally learn I’m shaping my universe
Used to think TV was the whole world Used to need to feel like a cover girl All the while a junk food junkie Caught up in how people saw me Thought I was the centre of gravity Tryin’ to pin the blame on somebody Money was the holy grail Always fearing I would fail
CHORUS But I can choose to be The me I wanna be When I finally learn I’m shaping my universe But I can choose to be The me I wanna be When I finally learn I’m shaping my universe
My attitudes build the world I live in Controlling what I take and what I’m given What if changing, changing my life Is as simple as changing my mind
Fear would always leave me paralysed Always tried to believe my own lies Never would forgive or forget Never thought my soul important
CHORUS But I can choose to be The me I wanna be When I finally learn I’m shaping my universe But I can choose to be The me I wanna be When I finally learn I’m shaping my universe
I got your messages on my machine I never called you back at the time I got the flowers you sent to my work With a note suggesting coffee sometime
I realise you′re thinking ′bout me But I′ve been avoiding you You don′t seem to see what′s obvious But it′s time some truth broke through
CHORUS I′m not your lifeblood I am myself I am not your oxygen You can breathe as well This is obsession This is addiction And how sadly you′re mistaken Your beating heart I′m not I am myself
This is not about the way you are You were a friend when you had my trust There′s notthing wrong with you, as far as I know You just think you need me way too much
But this has gone too far I′ve seen you parking in my street at night Hoping just to catch a glimpse, or talk with me But what you′re wanting won′t ever be
CHORUS I′m not your lifeblood I am myself I am not your oxygen You can breathe as well This is obsession This is addiction And how sadly you′re mistaken Your beating heart I′m not I am myself
Yeah this has gone too far I′ve seen you taking photographs of me Don′t you know you′re scaring me, this has to end You gotta give up this fantasy, oh
CHORUS I′m not your lifeblood I am myself I′m not your oxygen You can breathe for yourself This is obsession This is addiction And how sadly you′re mistaken Your beating heart I′m not I am myself
Something has changed in you I guess nothing remains the same To be in love takes two But I know that you’re miles away
We’ve always had so much together I want to be with you but
CHORUS What can I do, ‘bout you I can see you walking away What can I say, I’ve tried Everything to make you stay Your mind is made up and your heart is so sure What can I do Nothing at all
Perfect days So far away But I don’t want to let them go You said yourself This is love The best thing you’ll ever know
I thought that we’d be forever I want to be with you but
CHORUS What can I do, ‘bout you I can see you walking away What can I say, I’ve tried Everything to make you stay Your mind is made up and your heart is so sure What can I do Nothing at all
No matter how hard I have tried to break through Can’t fight the truth I’m losing you, so
CHORUS What can I do, ‘bout you I can see you walking away What can I say, I’ve tried Everything to make you stay
You tell me that your leaving To get on with your life You′re tired of excuses Disconnecting telephone lines You say there′s other reasons But you don′t want to waste you time You said if I′d ever listened It would be the very first time
You say you′ve been grieving For quite some time now Wrestling insecurity, for that You say the blame is mine Why now? You have now answer You just feel the time has come You′re not listening to anything You′re not stopping for anyone
Don′t hold back Lay it on the line Give me every tiny reason You′ve spurned this love of mine Cause I can′t understand Why this is the end Don′t go before you make it plain What you think I lack Don′t hold back
Tell me how you think you can do this After all that we′ve been through Knowing you′re the only reason For all the things I do Would life have any meaning If it wasn′t spent with you Before you go can you tell me Have you really thought this through
Choruses
Not on account of me
You can′t just leave it here You only gotta make it clear
If only I knew There might be something I could do
This ain’t stupid girl talk So don’t try and tell me so I don’t want to be rejected Cos I let my feelings show
I’m just trying to reach you Cos I’m in need of you now
Time won’t be an answer Let’s talk about it here and now Just try to be openhearted We’ll figure this out somehow
I’m just trying to reach you Cos I’m in over my head
CHORUS I’m drowning, not waving I’m drowning, not waving Not bending, I am breaking It’s an easy mistake to make I’m crying, not laughing I’m falling, not faking I’m drowning not just waving Won’t you be my lifeguard
This ain’t stupid girl talk So don’t try and shrugg it off You can’t just hold back the changes Nothing stays the way it was
What I feel is an ocean And I’m in over my head
CHORUS I’m drowning, not waving I’m drowning, not waving Not bending, I am breaking It’s an easy mistake to make I’m crying, not laughing I’m falling, not faking I’m drowning not just waving Won’t you be my lifeguard
I see another version of me Who’s only a day away Stronger, a little wiser I guess Someone who feels OK
But right now I’m drowning, not waving I’m falling, not faking I’m drowning not just waving Won’t you be lifeguard
Love is a chance That two people meet Love is a gamble You find that one soul and dive in deep
You are the one that I’m made for My heart’s connected to you One day we will be together, and I
CHORUS Can’t wait to meet you, I’m counting down the days I sleepwalk beside you, I’m dreaming of your face I’m shooting for the sky, just killing time ‘Til the day I meet you Can’t wait to meet you
Can it be wrong To trust in fate It can’t be crazy To feel we all have a true soul mate
I know you’re out there somewhere I know you’re searching for me I do believe this is real, and I
CHORUS Can’t wait to meet you, I’m counting down the days I sleepwalk beside you, I’m dreaming of your face I’m shooting for the sky, just killing time ‘Til the day I meet you Can’t wait to meet you
Doesn’t matter where you are I’ll find my way Cos it’s written in the stars We’ll meet one day Though I know it’s fated Feels like I have waited For so long, so long, so long, so long
Can’t wait to meet you Doesn’t matter where you are I will find you Cos it’s written in the stars I’m shooting for the sky, just killing time (We will find the perfect time) Til the day I meet you (Waiting for the day) Can’t wait to meet you
CHORUS Can’t wait to meet you, I’m counting down the days I sleepwalk beside you, I’m dreaming of your face I’m shooting for the sky, just killing time ‘Til the day I meet you Can’t wait to meet you
I know that you feel it Deep inside But you won′t admit it You′ve got to much pride Don′t deny what′s in your heart Your safe with me All your love is locked away Won′t you set it free
I endure the sleepless nights Filled with doubt And I try to comprehend Why you shut me out If you′re scared darling Just let me know You just gotta understand How I love you so
Mad about you I feel a tide of love love crush over me And I know the feeling Is mutual but you just won′t let it be Mad about you Lost beyond the point of no return Dancing in the flame until we burn Mad about you Mad about you Mad about you Mad about you
I don′t want to play the fool anymore And I′m tired of watching you walk out that door Everytime I reach for you You turn away This whole game has gone too far To last another day
Chorus
Mad about you I feel a tide of love love crush over me And I know the feeling Is mutual but you just won′t let it be Mad about you Past the point of no returning Mad about you Dancing while the flame keeps Mad about you Mad about you (don′t know why I′m) Mad about you I′m mad about you baby
I might be a little concerned with my hair I might need comfort, more than my share I might seem to follow fashion, but claim that I don′t care My heart is your best friend, when it rules my head
I might want to talk a lot, don′t ask me why And I′ll get impatient if you don′t reply I might always search for something wrong, I want you to deny And if you love me just stay close, and hold me when I cry
CHORUS Don′t try to understand me I′m just a girl One of the greatest mysteries You′ll find in this world I′m not hard to handle I′m just a girl
I don′t seek money, but I want your time Coz I′d give my life for you, when you are mine And it hurts me more than I can say, when you pull away But if you love me, you should tell me everyday
CHORUS Don′t try to understand me I′m just a girl One of the greatest mysteries You′ll find in this world I′m not hard to handle I′m just a girl
You might think I′m too demanding But you′re just not understanding
I might like to take advice but go my own way It′s when I hurt the most I swear I′m ok And it′s always when you least expect I say I wanna stay Might take just a single kiss to steal my heart away
CHORUS Don′t try to understand me I′m just a girl One of the greatest mysteries You′ll find in this world You think I′m an X-file I′m just a girl
How come it’s always ‘goodnight’ when the longing sets in Edging in closer, fighting the lure of this thing I’m holding out, but losing ground
Strange fascination with danger drawing me in Standing so near to the fire, but not yet burning Too close now to turn back round
CHORUS Throw me a line I think I’m falling, oh Doin’ it hard, I dropped my guard Kinda went too far Throw me a line I’m falling, woah I can’t be sure, I think I want more But all I know is I wanna be close to you
Suddenly weakened I find I’m inviting you in Relentless, persuading, inticing me into sweet sin Defences down, vulnerable now
CHORUS Throw me a line I think I’m falling, oh Doin’ it hard, I dropped my guard Kinda went too far Throw me a line I’m falling, woah I can’t be sure, I think I want more But all I know is I wanna be close to you
Falling from grace into the fire I dive into the moment And lose everything else All for desire
ALT CHORUS Throw me a line I, I know for sure this time You got me falling, oh I close my eyes, spin and slide Hopin’ I’m alright Throw me a line I’m falling, woah Intoxicated to be near, I fear But what’s clear, I wanna be close to you
CHORUS Throw me a line I think I’m falling, oh Doin’ it hard, I dropped my guard Kinda went too far Throw me a line I’m falling, woah I can’t be sure, I think I want more But all I know is I wanna be close to you
I guess I had no reason, talking to you that way It′s just so unexpected, seeing you here today Why now? has it been long enough, for all the hurt to fade? Oh, how I′m waiting for the day
I guess I had no business, asking who you′re hanging ′round You like to keep your secrets, it′s a lesson I′ve learnt now But don′t act like I feel nothing for you, and everything′s OK Oh, how I′m waiting for the day
Seems that you′ve been kind enough, to spare my innocence And let me keep my illusions safe from harm To think when friends revealed the truth, I′d leap to your defence Strange the way the cruellest cuts have come
It′s late, I guess I′ll be going, but don′t expect me to wish you well There′s too much gone between us, whatever′s left now I can′t tell But I know there′ll be a time when I won′t crumble like today No I, won′t felling like screaming out should I see you glance at me Yes I might find some bright new future that you can′t steal away Oh, how I′m waiting for the Day Oh, how I′m waiting for the Day....
Hey, what would you say If I can′t play the hero tonight Cos lately I′ve been feelin′ like I can′t get anything right
I′ve been fading into the woodwork again And I′m feelin′ like I just wanna hide But guess what I′m gonna try something just a little bit different this time
I′m gonna give myself permission to shine I′m gonna shine so bright Gonna make every head wanna turn You′re finally gonna see me Give myself permission to shine Gonna light up the night Shine a little of my light on the world
I′ve been crazy I′ve been holdin′ myself back for so long But I′ve got so much I can give Don′t wanna be afraid to be wrong
You know I′m not too good at too many things But I′ve been gettin′ real good at gettin′ down on myself But guess what I′m gonna try to break free from this prison Ive built
I′m gonna give myself permission to shine I′m gonna shine so bright Gonna make every head wanna turn You′re finally gonna see me Give myself permission to shine Gonna light up the night Shine a little of my light on the world
Oh, that′s right I′m gonna try something just a little bit different this time
I′m gonna give myself permission to shine I′m gonna shine so bright Gonna make every head wanna turn You′re finally gonna see me Give myself permission to shine Gonna light up the night Shine a little of my light on the world
(Give myself permission to shine) I wanna light up the night Shine a little of my light on the world
What does it mean What does it mean When you use my toothbrush What does it mean What does it mean When I pay for lunch with you All day All night All week and still It don′t seem like too much I wear your sweaters And you wear my shoes
What does it mean What does it mean When you do my laundry How come it′s OK that You use your key to my front door You steal the blankets while we sleep I steal your last beer But I guess that we ain′t keeping score
This must be love Cos what else could make us Act the way we do Just think it through This must be love I don′t think anything else could be to blame This must be love O-o-oh Like it or not
Cos what else could it mean What could it mean You drinks my dregs of coffee How come it′s OK when I buy you stuff with your credit card All day all week all month and still It don′t seem like too much To spend a year with you won′t be to hard
chorus
What does it mean What does it mean Your wallet holds my photo How come each place I go seems So much better if your there We light up candles, stay up late Always hate to go I guess there′s no chance we don′t really care
Turn out the lights, see what I′ve been seein′ This is the love I have not been feelin′ A chill in the bone as it begins to change Don′t talk to me cos things are not the same Yeah
You know I am I am And I will be closer to you Than you to anyone You know I cannot see The earth, the sun For all the damage we have done
Oooh - so tired of playin′ in the water Oooh - don′t wanna be your saint, your martyr So sorry babe - so sorry baby it′s my mistake The years have blown away
Blown away
Hold down the dog I′m here to raise this ceiling This is the love I cannot believe in, yeah A quarter to four and it begins to tell Don′t talk to me cos nothing′s gonna sell Yeah
You know I am I am And I will be closer to you Than you to anyone You′re so full of conceit You beg to be undone You torment just for fun
Oooh - so tired of playin′ in the water Oooh - don′t wanna be your saint, your daughter So sorry babe - so sorry baby it′s my mistake The years have blown away Blown away

Hey Mom Why didn′t you tell me Why didn′t you teach me a thing or two You just let me go Out into the World You never thought to share what you knew
So I walked under a bus I got hit by a train Keep falling in love Which is kinda the same I′ve sunk out at sea Crashed my car, gone insane And it felt so good I want to do it again
Hey Mom Why didn′t you warn me Coz about boys is something i should have known Their like chocolate cake Like cigarettes I know they′re bad for me But I just can′t leave ′em alone
Chorus
I wanna do it again Oh, felt so good
Hey Mom Since we′re talking What was it like when you where young Has the world changed Or is it still the same A man can kill and still be the sweetest fun
I′ve got an ex-boyfriend who calls me up To blame me for his life I get bunches of roses from another guy And hate-mail from his wife I date a stupid jerk who forgets my name Likes to make love watching TV And some guy calls in the middle of the night Just so I can hear him breathe
CHORUS Lucky Me Lucky, lucky little ol′ me I have everything in this whole wide world A girl could ever need Lucky Me
I′ve got a great car - it′s a red convertible Made by Mattell Got a nice house in the suburbs With Hell′s Angels for neighbours as well Got a scholarship for a hundred years of college If I wanna study dentistry (but) My folks just want me married, and popping out the grand-kids To keep them company
CHORUS CHORUS
Think I′ll run and join the Hare Krishna Give up all my worldy goods Cut off all my hair Coz nothing that I have right now Brings me any joy And when I′m shopping at the Mall Can′t find it anywhere
But I′ve got my Tamagotchi And I′ve got my wristwatch phone I got so many friends on the Internet I could never be alone I got just enough cash to pay a lot o′ tax But not enough to quit my job Got a fool′s-gold ring, credit-card debt Psychiatrist for my dog
