Stupid Stories

Was gonna write a stupid love song for you
But you know it wouldn't be true
Just an imaginary love to write a song about
But now I've really talked to you
And I have learned that you are so cool
So why write make believe
When you really are so interesting
So I won't make up stupid stories about you
I sat for hours hanging off every word you said
Showed me all your favourite books you've read
Then you made me another cup of tea

Things To Do Today
01:20

Got some things to do today
Tired of wasting so much time
Wasted days that have slipped away
Now I'm doing fine
I wanna go to the park
Take a walk in the dark
Take a girl out on a date
Do these things that make me feel great
Meet some friends for coffee
Spend a night out bowling
Take the time to read a good book
Open my eyes and take a look
I've got better things to do than the things I did before
I don't wanna do them anymore
I wanna be happy I wanna be free
I wana be happy I wanna be free

Make-Up Girl

Every night before the show
You put my make-up on you're such a pro
Apply cosmetics to my eyes and lips
But you don't even know that I exist
I feel your hands upon my face
I wish your lips were too as I embrace you
I wanna bring you home with me
You're my obsession you're my fantasy
Making out with the make-up girl
Would be a dream come true
Making out with the make-up girl
But I'm too scared to talk to you
Making out with the make-up girl
You paint my face on nice and blue
Making out with the make-up girl
What should I do to get close to you
As I'm playing here in the band
I hope that someday that you can understand
All the feelings that I hold for you
I will show you if you ask me to
There's more to me than this character I play
Get to know me you may wanna stay with me
Until that day I'll sit and wait with good grace
And be content with you fixing my face
Look deep into my tinted eyes
You'll see that they hold no lies
I wanna leave blue streaks
On your chin, your neck, your nose, your cheeks

a Real Good Look
01:10
|
|||
|
I've got something to think about
All the things I've done
I've lead a selfish existence
Never cared about anyone but me
I'm taking a real good look at myself
My fears resentment and shame
My life's been ruled by my self pity
But now I don't have to be the same
I'm taking a real good look at myself
All the changes in me
My life isn't fear based anymore
Living my life honestly you see

No Sympathy
02:09

I want you to cook for me
And I want you to clean up for me
And I want you to fuck me
And I want you to take care of me
Cause I don't know how to care for myself
I want you to listen to me
And I want you to be there for me
And I want you to hold me
But I don't want you sympathy
Cause I already feel sorry for myself
I'd like you to talk to me
And I hope you understand me
And I wish you would pray for me
And I want you to respect me
Cause I'm learning how to respect myself

No More Tears

I was in the shower just the other day
It was the day you went away
I didn't know just what to do
I'm so lost, so lost without you
So I just stand there awhile
In my mind I can see your smile
I wish you were here can't you see
Now there's only one thing, one thing to help me
I wash my hair with baby shampoo
No more tears over you
I was my hair with baby shampoo
No more tears, no more crying over you
No I lie in our bed all alone
I wait for your call on the telephone
I wait and wait to hear it ring
But I don't hear, I don't hear anything
So I go soak in the tub
Dream about our lost love
Once again I wash my hair
And wonder why you're not there

She Could Kick My Ass
02:05

I met this girl she is so fucking wild
She could dominate me just like a little child
She is so strong and I am so weak
She could take me any day of the week
She is so beautiful but she could kick my ass
I wanna bring her home but she could kick my ass
I think I'm in love with her but she could kick my ass
I better watch my step cause she could kick my ass
When we go out on a date I get really scared
What would she do if I let her know I cared
Would she try to hurt me beat the shit out of me
She's so intimidating I live so dangerously
I better watch what I say
I better watch what I do
I better watch what I say

I don't wanna go out today
I wanna hear Kojak say
"Who loves ya baby" as he makes the bust
He's one guy I could really trust
I wanna watch Kojak
Captain walk in acting like a jerk
Kojak says "right and my father's a turk"
He's got the situation well in hand
Crocker and Sapperstein at his command
I wanna watch Kojak
In his yellow shades looking smooth
Long brown cigarettes and lollipop
Mohair coat and shiny head
He's the number one greek super cop
I wanna watch Kojak

Fear of Girls

Doesn't matter what you really think of me
Cause I've already decided in advance
Convinced that you don't like me enhance my misery
Never really even stood at chance
Doens't matter what you really think of me
Cause I know I'll just walk away
Or stare at the floor shuffling my feet
Never really know what to say
Fear of girls
Doesn't matter what you really think of me
Cause I am so scared of you
My destiny ever to be lonely
What am I going to do
Doesn't matter what you really think of me
Cause I know I'll just hide away
Live my self fulfilling prophecy
Wish I could think of something cool to say
Fear of girls
Fear of girls don't know what to say
Fear of girls why won't it go away
Fear of girls what does it mean
Fear of girls low self esteem
Fear of girls I don't know why
Fear of girls can't look em in the eye

I Think Too Much
01:46

Another sleepless night again
Thinking always keeps me up
A jumble of incoherent thoughts
Of songs and life and girls and stuff
The clock has ticked to way past three
Not even close to sleeping yet
I get up pace and watch TV
And smoke another cigarette
I can't get to sleep my mind is racing like a train
If I don't slow down I think I'm gonna go insane
Gotta let it go relieve myself of all this pain
That I'm feeling
I lay awake and I think of you
The things we'll do and the things we'll share
But I don't even know your last name
Where you're from, the natural colour of your hair
Obsessivly I fantasize
My silly little childish game
The next week its a different face
But the thoughts I think are still the same
Gotta slow down can't keep up this speed
I need some peace and serenity
Gotta slow down its too much for me
Some peace of mind would set me free

Just give me a minute of your time
To hear what I have to say
You've been in my head ever since we met
I don't want you to go away
I know I don't know you very well
I'm not like other guys
I'll hold the door pull out your chair
Give me point for all my trying
Just give me a chance don't condmen me to hell
I want you to be my mademouselle
Just open the chest and roll the dice
Every time I see you you look really nice
You can't blame a man for trying
Resistance is insane
You can't blame a man for trying
Just look at that pretty face
Just give me a minute of your time
To let me beg and plead
You're the rainbow in my clouds
Getting rid of my misery
I had things to do today
But I'd rather be with you
You said that you understood
So please just think it through
Just give me a chance don't condmen me to hell
I want you to be my mademouselle
Nothing to lose nothing at all
I'm dark and I'm handsome, if not to tall
You can't blame a man for trying
With that special girl
You can't blame a man for trying
When she rules his world

Wanna Know U

I never wanted you to find me when I moved out westward
But somehow you got a hold of me
I tell my friends you're ugly superficial and money hungry
And the all agree that I should tell you to fuck off
But someday I will build up the nerve
Even though sometimes I have pity for her
when you've got no friends you'd be amazed what you'd do
But it doesn't mean much to me cause I don't want to know you
She calls me up I don't know where the hell she got my number
She thinks I live on the other side of town
I tell her to come over in the car that her parents bought her
Now I'm laughing till my pants are turning brown
