My Life
she takes it deep to her heart
right from the start
she talks softly over a glass of whine

now and again
she is more than a friend
but don't you just throw me a line

say now it would be great
if she'd dedicate
just a minute from her precious time

said i'll give it a while
but thats not my style
now how is that a crime

everyone says that i'm wild
pardon my french but i still know my child
and that wasn't it
i told her i needed some time from her daddy-o

i began walking
while she was still talkin
lookin for an exit sign

pardon my face
but i am leaving no trace
cause i really haven't got the time

well i began thinking
and my heart is just sinking
looking for a place to go

well isn't it bad
how she'll treats you so bad
and u never really let her know

well everyone says that shes cryin
but i can't forget all the tiem i spent tryin
and that wasn't it
i told her i needed some time from her daddy-o

and i know i know
what it feels like to be alone
i say now i know i know
what it feels like to be at home

i say i like i like
stoping to say hello
said its my life my life my life
why can't we take this slow, why can't we take this slow

why can't we take this slow

now i been thro the phases
and i walked thro the mazes
i'm sick and just a little tired

i'm sure it isn't fair
but i'm not aware
of the patience thats required

if i could have kissed her
everytime that i misses her
i wouldn't be out the door

but now and again
i sure need a friend
now isn't that what shes for

everyone says that i'm lyin
but i can't forget all the times she was cryin
and that wasn't it
i told her i need some time from her daddy-o

and i know i know
what it feels like to be alone
i say now i know i know
what it feels like to be at home

i say i like i like
stoping to say hello
said its my life my life my life
why can't we take this slow, why can't we take this slow

baby take this slow
its my life my life
why can't we take this slow


Short A Try
i'm picking up these broken pieces again
i'm feeling like i'm lost and all i do is find you there
we've been here before
i'm never coming back again, not again
tomorrow is too soon for you my dear
i pushed you oh so far away when all i do is want you near
well i've been here before
not coming back again
and i can't sleep
because pretenders never sleep with a smile
it's hard enough to wake up after awhile
and even though i say i'm feeling fine
i'm locked up, loaded down, short a try

have i told you lately that i love you
have i told you that i hold nothing there above you
we've been around here before
we're never coming back again, not again
i love the way you walk
the way that you talk
the way you live
the way that you give me everything you promised you would
if i could, i'd be here
i can't
well i can't sleep

because pretenders never sleep with a smile
it's hard enough to wake up after awhile
and even though i say i'm feeling fine
i'm locked up, loaded down, short a try

i wish to god that i been there for you my dear
there's so much pushing me all around, i'd love to hold you near
and i don't expect you to stay
and i'm never gonna ask you why
because i'm locked up, loaded down, short a try
i'm locked up, loaded down
and i'm short a try

Favorite Book Of Poetry
called her last night
and i read her a line from my favorite book of poetry
and i, i started to cry
she asked me what was wrong
don't worry, it's not you, it's me
i never knew
half the stories told to me
stories like the sun is blue
and i, i never knew
half the time i spent with her
i wish to god i spent it all with you
she called me last night
she read me a line from her favorite book of poetry
and i, she started to cry
i said what's wrong with you
she said don't worry, it's not you, it's me
well it's plain to see
every time you look at me
you wish to god it was her with you
well i never knew
all the time you look at me
i wish to god i gave her away from you
see my baby now
all the poetry is written about you somehow
and every time i read the little line of poetry
i just think about just you and me

she called me last night
and we talked for what seemed like the very first time
and we, we began to see
life is too short to run away from everything, she reads
i don't know what you've done to me
i don't care anymore, can't you see
i just want love, just want love
it's not hard, just let me know
because every time i read a line from the book
i realize the poetry, that poetry was written bout you and me
all this poetry is written bout just you and me

Earthward
love was never enough throughout time, yet some give it up
well, you kept me standing alone
if only i could have one dance i would move on my own
in tattered daydreams that slip through the night
i'm prince, king, warrior, and i'm doing things right
but every daydream leaves me awake all the night
if i was a bird, spread my wings, and take off and fly
yeah yeah yeah yeah
i had the swirl and ache from sprays of honeysuckle
that when they're gathered break will dew on the knuckle
i had small sweets but those seemed small when i was young
the petal of the rose was strung
yeah, na-na na-na

so in this dream i walk with my head held high
cause here i'll live forever and never die
i see my soul straight ahead with his eyes locked on mine
if i should wake right now, i'd rather be blind
and in these dreams with love, together we'd stand
i'm slipping, falling to earthward and i can't reach your hand
yeah yeah yeah yeah

i had the swirl and ache from sprays of honeysuckle
that when they're gathered break will dew on the knuckle
i had small sweets but those seemed small when i was young
the petal of the rose was strung
yeah, na-na na-na

my eyes open wide and i've lost myself
i'm laying here in my bed, there's nobody else
surrounded by questions, hate, and blood soaked war
i clasp my hands together and pray, ask what it's all for

it's easy for me to slip away and live on the air
if we'd all just let love live we could all meet there
but time has its way of saying it's time to move on
so off to my kingdom i go where i feel at home
yeah yeah yeah yeah

i had the swirl and ache from sprays of honeysuckle
that when they're gathered break will dew on the knuckle
i had small sweets but those seemed small when i was young
the petal of the rose was strung
yeah yeah yeah

Night Shift...Stir It Up
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady runnin' through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i want to go to bed

I know this lady, way down in my country
She is so pretty that my eyes throw disguises at me
An we will sit and wonder 'bout our future
But now i'm thinkin' that today sounds fine to me
Well i've been working five days full time
Ain't got no money but everything is goin' fine
I've been tired in my head,
I've been tired in my head...

It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my hair
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i want to go to bed

I know this lady with eyes as blue as the sea
Now we would sit and stare directly through me
And that laugh would take me to my future
Throughout my past, there aint nothin left for me
Well i've been working five days full time
I've got no money but everything is goin' fine
But i've been tired in my head
Well i've been tired in my head...

Its 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady runnin' through my hair
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m., i want to go to bed...

i feel my lady yea
i feel my lady yeaaa
i feel my lady tonight my baby come to me
and make my mind
remind me where i can be
so i can plan out my future
But i've been thinking five days full time
I've got no money but everything is goin' fine
i've been tired in my head
i've been tired in my head...

Its 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady runnin' through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m., i want to go to bed she want in my head
just want to rest my head to bed
she wont let me go
oh i want to go
