Hit The Ground

one sunny day won't bring him 'round
if i knew just what i have found
i'm easy come, easy go
but the things i think
you'll never know
because i'm falling
but i can't see you smiling
falling and laughing
until i hit the ground
walking around i'm on my own
through empty streets i'm all alone
i watch the faces stare at me
(i hide away) so they can't see

Burst

i didn't mean to upset you
well, i didn't mean to throw you out
i didn't mean to stand and shout
and now i'm sorry too
and i-i-i (i-i-i)
never should've said those things
i never should've told you lies
and now i see it in your eyes
i'm so sorry too
but you know i just can't take it if you walk away
my head's gonna burst, it doesn't matter what you say
i just can't take it if you walk away from me
i should try to make things right
i should try to understand
but everything got out of hand
i don't know what to do
and i know (i know)
i know that i'm the one to blame
i didn't mean to cause you pain
and things will never be the same
i'll leave it up to you
since you've been gone
you know it's been so long
why don't we figure out just where it all went wrong
went wrong

Uptight

uptight, feeling lonely
uptight, feeling shaky
messed around with you and it's been too long
if i could only see where we went wrong
cos i should've known better
something always happens
something that you don't understand
i only wanna make it happen
i only wanna hold your hand
but you're not there
how can you try to say to me
when you don't really know a thing about me
it's always been the same since the day we met
but now that you're gone i'm all upset
cos i should've known better
no you're not there
you're just not there
cos you're not anywhere

The Other Night

you left without saying goodbye the other night
i was so upset to see
you walked out with another girl on your arm
you didn't give a damn for me
but i know all about you
the way you talk
the things that you do
i know all about you
the way you look
cos i've been watching you
i didn't know that you'd be there the other night
i wasn't sure who you wanted to see
i guess you stayed with her the other night
but i wasn't sure about me
i changed my mind and the way i look
and changed the color of my hair
i'll probably never see you again
but that's the way it'll be
cos i've been watching you
cos i've been watching you
i've been watching you

Big Head

you got a great big head
and now i heard what you said
you know you're wasting my time
if you think you're mine
you've got a great big head
you need your ego fed
and now it's gone to your head
with your fancy frills
and attitude that kills
you've got a great big head
you've got everything
beauty and brains
but look what it's done to you
i don't think you'd ever change
you got a great big head
and all the girls have said
you ain't got no rocket
no gun in your pocket
just a great big head
you've got everything
laid on a plate for you
always talking about yourself
but nobody thinks it's true
you got a great big head
you got a great big head
you got a great big head
you got a great big head

Let's Go Round There

we don't have to walk on water but let's go round there
what's it like on the other side come on, let's go round there
we don't talk, we don't have to smile
because we've only just met but we stay for a while
won't you take me just a little way
oh let's go round there
oh, turn and face the sun
oh, my dreams have just begun
oh, are you on my side
oh, will you run and hide
feel the heat, feel it on your face so don't you wanna go there
not too far, it's a special place oh don't you wanna go there
take my hand and i'll show you the way
we've got plenty of time so we both can stay
won't you take me just a little way
oh let's go round there
let's go round there
let's go round there
let's go round there

She's Not Crying

stop that crying you're better off smiling
hey you could even make my day
don't you listen oh it doesn't matter
i've only got one thing to say
oh you must let her go (she's not crying)
oh you must let her go (she's not crying)
he's not saying that she's just complaining
time will only tell
you'll feel better just forget her
it's easy for me to say
well i didn't mean to embarrass you
i guess i was wrong i hope it didn't really show
i didn't mean to embarrass you
but these are the things that a girl should know
oh there's more to life you know (she's not crying)
oh you must let her go (she's not crying)

Shame On You

shame shame shame shame
shame on you
you treated me like all the rest
you didn't care whose life you messed
shame on you
of all the things you could've said
you had to say let's go to bed
and everytime i look in your eyes
you tell me lies and criticize
but i know i'll get you back
i know i'll get you back
i'll get you get you get you get you back
shame on you
if that's the way you want to be
then you just keep away from me
shame on you
you might've fooled all the rest
but you're the only fool that's left
shame on you (for all the things you've done to me)
shame on you (for all the things you've said to me)
shame on you (for all the things you've done to me)
shame on you!

You've Got To Choose

no it doesn't seem quite right
i've been sitting here all night
you've got to choose
is it no or is it yes
someone shouldn't have to guess
you've got to choose
well happy days have gone away
now all that's left are tears
and if i get another chance
i'm gonna make sure i'm not here
i deserve what i get
but i wish we'd never met
you've got to choose
do you want to go with her
or which one do you prefer
you've got to choose
can't you hear the things they say
but we don't have to listen to them anyway
oh you know i've had enough
come on, what's happening to us
you've got to choose
is it no or is it yes
someone shouldn't have to guess
you've got to choose
honey, i'm all right, i'm going, good night!
you've got to choose
you've got to choose
you've got to choose

Spin

in your eyes i can see my reflection
does that mean i'm getting too close
i'm moving to watch your direction
and my head starts to spin once again
you can spin with me
you can spin and you will see
spin with me
spin with me
in your face i can see that there's nothing
does that mean you don't want to know
i feel kind of funny, i'm shaking
and my head starts to spin once again
round and round and round you go
round and round and round i just don't know
and you can spin with me
and you can spin with me
and you can spin with me

When It Feels Good

with you, i've got everything
with you, it's all okay
your smile always makes me laugh
and everything is better that way
so when you don't feel all right
i'll be there to hold you tight
and if it feels good to you
then it'll feel good to me
for you, i'll give anything
for you, i give my heart
your smile always makes me laugh
and everything is better that way
so when you don't feel all right
i'll be there to hold you tight
and if it feels good to you then it'll feel good to me
and if it feels good to you then it'll feel good to me
and if it feels good you then it'll feel good to me
for you, i'll give anything
with you, i've got everything
with you, i've got everything

Things We Do For Love

it's not easy they say it is for birds and bees
but i'm the one who's always confused
so believe me, i mean it all honestly
or not the one who's being used
i'm holding back
must be losing my knack
guess these are the things you do for love
for love
you stare inside there's more to this than meets the eye
but i can never put you down
and no one knows the way it is or how it goes
but i would never let you down
that's not right
it's not good
i wanna love you i would if i could
guess these are the things you do
guess these are the things you do
guess these are the things you do
