At All 01:39
Just waitin' with myself for your call Thinkin' 'bout that look and tryin' not to fall Cuz when you look at me that way I don't stall But lately, you don't look at me at all At all, at all, at all You don't look at me at all, at all At all, at all You don't look at me at all Just kickin' back on my bed and write another song Thinkin' back to when and what went wrong Guess I shoulda known then and known along Guess I shoulda walked on And on, walked on, walked on I shoulda walked on, walked on Walked on, walked on I shoulda walked on, walked on Got your pictures on the wall And they clutter up my wallet Picture this, me sittin' in my hall Just starin' at your pictures, that's all That's all, that's all, that's all Starin' at your pictures, that's all That's all, that's all Starin' at your pictures, that's all

I don't mind if you say you got me Wrapped around your finger And I don't mind if you say you got me Wrapped around your toes Cuz when you got me all tied up Around your little finger I don't mind and you're my kind And you'll find that it shows Hey, so it goes When I'm around your toes No one knows And I guess it shows That I don't mind, no I won't mind if you need time To figure out your head And I won't mind if come to find out Ya don't need time instead What ya need is someone to give you some of A love like you'll never get With someone else, ya don't need no one else And ya can't leave love for dead Hey, you'll dread All the days ahead No one said How long a day can get Or the tears you'll shed

Colour 01:36
Here I am, a lonely man on my own Everyone I've ever known left me long ago Now I know what I'm gonna do that's for sure Cuz I ain't got no one I could care for Made a blue sky and bright green trees for you Made a universe of wonder you could look to And see the freedom that you could know If you would only trust in me I'm headed west for the rest of my life's success Got a stick and my picks tied up in wraps Got no one holdin' me down, I like it that way And if they don't like what I do I'm on my way back It don't need to be like that You don't need to lay your dreams where I ain't at You would see the freedom that you could know If you would only trust me in me
6.
If They Said 02:11
Well, if they said I'll break my head Or soon be dead or you'll soon be bled Dry than they'd be led to believe a lie And I don't know why they even started that lie And if they said my tears were shed To get you in bed and show you my bedspread Well you'd be led to believe a lie And I wouldn't know why they'd even start that lie Cuz I don't think I need your love that way And I don't think if you'd leave I'd be okay Hey, don't ya think you need a love that'll stay? No, I don't think if you leave it'll be okay Well, if they said he's not well read And he won't keep ya fed with well read bread I'd hope you were not led to believe that lie And I don't know why they even started that lie And if they said get a new love instead Get a love like Fred and there won't be a shred Of doubt, don't be led to believe that I Would believe that lie and they don't know why Hey, I know I need your love today And I don't think if you'd leave I'd be okay Hey, don't ya know you need a love that'll stay No, I don't think if you leave I'll be okay

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' A poor little baby child is born In the ghetto, in the ghetto And if there's one thing that she don't need It's another hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto, in the ghetto We can't go on together With suspicious minds And we can't build our dreams On suspicious minds Now a hungry little boy with a runny nose Plays in the street as the cold wind blows In the ghetto, in the ghetto So he starts to roam the streets at night And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight In the ghetto, in the ghetto Yeah Skinny skins Lookin' for some smoke I owe him money
24.
Merry Christmas, I don't wanna fight tonight with Merry Christmas, I don't wanna fight tonight Merry Christmas, I don't wanna fight tonight Merry Christmas, I don't wanna fight tonight with you Where is Santa and his sleigh? And tell me why is it always this way? Where is Rudolph? Where is Blitzen, baby? Merry Christmas, merry, merry, merry Christmas All the children are tucked in their beds Sugarplum fairies dancin' in their heads It's awful frightenin', it's so excitin' baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I love you and you love me And that's the way it's got to be I knew it from the start Cuz Christmas is the time for breakin' each other's hearts Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with Merry Christmas, I don't wanna fight tonight with you
25.
Hey, ya make me feel fine Love it when you say you're mine It's okay Like what you say Cuz there's somethin' about you Makes me wanna be around you I know just what I'm gonna do Know I'm gonna stay with you And it helps me unwind Just to think about ya all the time It's alright Well, I feel alright Sometimes I do get scared But hey babe, I know you're there It's okay And I'm gonna stay
