Unattainable

does it really make much sense to live?
does it really make much sense to live?
does it really make much sense at all
when love's unattainable?
when love's not attainable...
does it really matter who you are?
does it really matter what you say?
does it really matter what you do
when all that you got is you?
when everything you got is just you...
have you ever really been alone?
have you ever really been alone?
does it ever shake you up inside
to know life is passing you by?
to feel life is passing you by...
does it really make much sense to live?
so tell me, does it really make much sense to live?
does it really make much sense at all
when love's unattainable...

I Just Wanna Be in Love

i don't wanna play the piano anymore
i don't know what the hell i'm playin' it for
i don't wanna sing these songs anymore
they never did nothin' for me anyway...
i just wanna be in love, wanna be in love
i wanna wanna be in love with you--
there's nothing else worth living for
i don't wanna go to work anymore
i don't know what the hell i'm goin' there for
i don't wanna make a lot of money anymore
it never did nothin' for me anyway...
i just wanna be in love, wanna be in love
i wanna wanna be in love with you--
there's nothing else worth living for.

you're smarter than your father
but you're dumber than your son...
happiness will never come
you're prettier than your mother
but you're daughter sure is number one...
happiness will never come.

if i could only play guitar... i could be a star
if i had money in my hand... i would feel like a man again
if i was only six feet tall... all the girls would fall in love with me
what am i to do? i wish i could be you
if i knew how to cheat and lie
maybe i could make somebody cry
if i could write a pretty song
somebody would sing along with me
if i had more hair on my head
i wouldn't wanna be dead anymore
what am i to do? i just wish i could be you...

Change Is Coming

|
|

|
i used to believe you
i used to think dreams come true
but change is coming, change is coming soon...
nothing to hold onto
no one to grasp onto
nothing, nothing, nothing
no one to hold onto
nothing to grasp onto
there's nothing, nothing... there's no one.

A Little Bit of Love
03:03
|
|
||
|
i don't wanna get married
i don't wanna be called a husband or a wife
i don't wanna big house in the suburbs
all i want out of life is a little bit of love from you
i don't wanna be a rock n' roll star
i don't wanna drive a porsche
i don't need a hundred thousand billion dollars
i need nothing more than a little bit of love from you
i don't wanna go to heaven
i don't wanna be a spirit in the sky
i don't ever wanna be born again as anything
i just wanna die with a little bit of love from you.

i just can't live without my little songs

you know i just can't be without my little songs
the the ones that always save me
keep me from goin' crazy
the ones that always gave me time after time.

My Song

|
||
|
you never knew me
until i died
oh well, i guess i finally did something right
in this town i just feel scared, lost and lonely
in my world i feel so free-- no wonder you don't know me
i'm just being someone else again
you never knew me
until i died
oh well, i guess i just no longer could hide
in this life i feel so scared, lost and lonely
in my dreams i seem so real-- no wonder you don't know me
i'm just being someone else again
you never knew me
until i died
oh well, i guess i finally did something right
in this life i just feel scared, lost and lonely
in my world i feel so free-- i need someone to hold me
i just wanna be myself again.

In The Summertime

in the summertime
when love is blind
will you be mine?
in the summertime
when love is blind
will you be mine?
at the end of time
when you lose your mind
will you be mine?
in the wintertime
when the world's unkind
will you be mine?
at the end of time
when you lose your mind
will you be mine?
in the summertime
when love is blind...
will
you
be
mine?
