Don't fall in love with me yet
We only recently met True, I'm in love with you, but You might decide I'm a nut Give me a week or two to Go absolutely cuckoo Then when you see your error Then you can flee in terror Like everybody else does I only tell you this 'cause I'm easy to get rid of But not if you fall in love Know now that I'm on the make And if you make a mistake My heart will certainly break I'll have to jump in a lake And all my friends will blame you There's no telling what they'll do It's only fair to tell you I'm absolutely cuckoo Don't fall in love with me yet We only recently met True, I'm in love with you, but You might decide I'm a nut Give me a week or two to Go absolutely cuckoo Then when you see your error Then you can flee in terror Like everybody else does I only tell you this 'cause I'm easy to get rid of But not if you fall in love Know now that I'm on the make And if you make a mistake My heart will certainly break I'll have to jump in a lake And all my friends will blame you There's no telling what they'll do It's only fair to tell you I'm absolutely cuckoo It's only fair to tell you I'm absolutely cuckoo |

They say there's a sun in the sky
But me, I can't imagine why There might have been one Before you were gone But now all I see is the night So I don't believe in the sun How could it shine down on everyone And never shine on me How could there be Such cruelty The only sun I ever knew Was the beautiful one that was you Since you went away It's night time all day And it's usually raining, too So I don't believe in the sun How could it shine down on everyone And never shine on me How could there be Such cruelty The only stars there really are Were shining in your eyes There is no sun except the one That never shone on other guys The moon to whom the poets croon Has given up and died Astronomy will have to be revised I don't believe in the sun How could it shine down on everyone And never shine on me How could there be Such cruelty |

You are a splendid butterfly
It is your wings that make you beautiful And I could make you fly away But I could never make you stay You said you were in love with me Both of us know that that's impossible And I could make you rue the day But I could never make you stay Not for all the tea in China Not if I could sing like a bird Not for all North Carolina Not for all my little words Not if I could write for you The sweetest song you ever heard It doesn't matter what I'll do Not for all my little words Now that you've made me want to die You tell me that you're unboyfriendable And I could make you pay and pay But I could never make you stay Not for all the tea in China Not if I could sing like a bird Not for all North Carolina Not for all my little words Not if I could write for you The sweetest song you ever heard It doesn't matter what I'll do Not for all my little words It doesn't matter what I'll do Not for all my little words |

Eligible, not too stupid
Intelligable and cute as Cupid Knowledgable but not always right Salvageable and free for the night Well, my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off All around the barnyard, falling in and out of love Poor thing's blind as a bat, getting up, falling down, getting up Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off? Woah, nelly! My wife doesn't understand me Many dozens hope to land me I'm for free love and I'm in free fall This could be love or nothing at all But my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off All around the barnyard, falling in and out of love The poor thing's blind as a bat, getting up, falling down, getting up Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off? We don't have to be stars exploding in the night, or electric eels under the covers We don't have to be anything quite so unreal, let's just be lovers Well, my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off All around the barnyard, falling in and out of love The poor thing's blind as a bat, getting up, falling down, getting up Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off? It ain't pretty |

I don't want to get over you
I guess I could take a sleeping pill And sleep at will And not have to go through What I go through I guess I should take Prozac, right? And just smile all night At somebody new Somebody not too bright But sweet and kind Who would try to get you off my mind I could leave this agony behind Which is just what I'd do If I wanted to But I don't want to get over you 'Cause I don't want to get over love I could listen to my therapist Pretend you don't exist And not have to dream of What I dream of I could listen to all my friends And go out again And pretend it's enough Or I could make a career of being blue I could dress in black and read Camus Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth Like I was seventeen That would be a scream But I don't want to get over you |

Come back from San Francisco
It can't be all that pretty When all of New York City misses you Should pretty boys in discos Distract you from your novel Remember I'm awful in love with you You need me Like the wind needs the trees To blow in Like the moon needs poetry You need me Come back from San Francisco And kiss me, I've quit smoking I miss doing the wild thing with you Will you stay, I don't think so But all I do is worry Pack bags, call cabs, and hurry home to me You need me Like the wind needs the trees To blow in Like the moon needs poetry You need me You need me Like the wind needs the trees To blow in Like the moon needs poetry You need me When you betray me, betray me with a kiss Damn you, I've never stayed up as late as this |

For you now that you're gone You'd grow wings and fly Home to me Home tonight And in the morning sun Let's pretend we're bunny rabbits Let's do it all day long Let abbots, Babbitts and Cabots Say Mother Nature's wrong And when we've had a couple'a'beers We'll put on bunny suits I long to nibble your ears And do as bunnies do Let's pretend we're bunny rabbits Let's do it all day long Rapidly becoming rabid Singing little rabbit songs I can keep it up all night I can keep it up all day Let's pretend we're bunny rabbits Until we pass away Let's pretend we're bunny rabbits Until we pass away |

Time stands still -- all I can feel is the time standing still.
As you put down the keys and say 'don't call me please', while the radio plays, "I Think I Need a New Heart", oh... "I Think I Need a New Heart", oh... You've lied, too, but it's a sin that I can't tell the truth, Cause it all comes out wrong unless I put it in a song, so the radio plays, "I Think I Need a New Heart", just for you. "I Think I Need a New Heart". Cause I always say "I love you", when I mean "turn out the light". And I say "let's run away", when I just mean "stay the night". But the words you want to hear, you will never hear from me. I'll never say "happy anniversary"; never stay to say "happy anniversary". So I think I need a new heart, oh... I think I need a new heart, oh... I think I need a new heart, oh... I think I need a new heart, oh... Give me time... |

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing but I, I love it when you read to me and you, you can read me anything The book of love has music in it In fact that's where music comes from Some of it is just transcendental Some of it is just really dumb but I, I love it when you sing to me and you, you can sing me anything The book of love is long and boring and written very long ago It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes and things we're all too young to know but I, I love it when you give me things and you, you ought to give me wedding rings I, I love it when you give me things and you, you ought to give me wedding rings |

I gaze into your eyes of blue but their beauty is not for me You're thinking on someone who's gone You're dreaming of the one you really love You're dreaming of the corpse you really love |

I'll linger here your ring upon my finger dear and sing till dawn
a song of you and me and what and why for time is all I have to keep between these walls and half asleep the days go by a million little nights and days go by and I don't mind Parades go by So many beautiful parades go by Leave me behind I'll sit and stare how could I venture anywhere and let the centuries fall where they may but never die for I have loved and so I lost the world above beyond the moss... |

You're a terrible flirt Cool and unfazed, you're always amazed when someone gets hurt I live on the blue planet that I saw in your eyes but now I can't stay knowing it's made of beautiful lies but my sentimental melody like a long-lost lullabye will ring in your ears down through the years bringing a tear to your eye Goodbye Love can kill people, can't it Well it still might kill me Each drop of rain is a glass of champagne It's sweet and it's free When I drink I don't panic When I drink I don't die When I'm far gone it's all just a song just beautiful lies... but my sentimental melody like a long-lost lullabye will ring in your ears down through the years bringing a tear to your eye Goodbye |

Once before we go Let's pretend this song won't end And we never have to go home And we'll dance among the chandeliers And nothing matters when we're dancing In tat or tatters you're entrancing Be we in Paris or in Lansing Nothing matters when we're dancing You've never been more beautiful Your eyes like two full moons Than here in this poor old dance hall Among the dreadful tunes The awful songs we don't even hear And nothing matters when we're dancing In tat or tatters you're entrancing Be we in Paris or in Lansing Nothing matters when we're dancing |

There's an hour of sunshine for a million years of rain
but somehow that always seems to be enough. When love falls from the sky nobody ever asks why You just take it or you leave it where it was, but there's just one kind of love you can spend your life dreaming of. For the love of a sweet-lovin' man. Some have traveled far and wide, some have given up and died For the love of a sweet-lovin' man. Some have broken down and cried, some have turned to dust inside, but I'll stay right here and hide in the arms of my sweet-lovin' man. Until you've had sweet lovin' there's no lovin' worth the name, but you can go blind from crying all the time, and who said life was easy and who said a man was fair? Well I wish you well but keep your paws off mine. You can't buy one at the mall but he'll come if you just call... |

Amazing he's a whole new form of life Blue eyes blazing and he's going to be my wife Oh, shadows of echoes of memories Oh, things that he brings that he found in the sea Oh, shadows of echoes of memories of songs Oh, how could he know that it won't be long...

No one will ever love you honestly. No one will ever love you for your honesty. |

Softly the crystals falling on 17th Street do their dance and die and are gone.
Millions of crystal balls roll around your feet and nothing gets done. An hour goes by, She doesn't. If you don't cry it isn't love. If you don't cry then you just don't feel it deep enough. Dying all day in thousands of little ways. Dancing alone and drinking a lot. Closing the clubs and haunting the cabarets looking for what. Another five years off your life. If you don't cry it isn't love. If you don't cry then you just don't feel it deep enough. A year goes by, She doesn't. If you don't cry it isn't love. If you don't cry then you just don't feel it deep enough. If you don't cry it isn't love. If you don't cry then you just don't feel it deep enough. |

and I'll go if you let go, but I won't go far away because you're my only home. And I will hide what you want hidden and I'll roam if you say roam, but I'd just as soon you didn't because you're my only home. When you cancel dinner plans; when you cross the street and you don't take my hand; when you make impossible demands I wish I didn't understand, I will stay if you let me stay and I'll go if you let go, but I won't go far away because you're my only home.

Sing me something terrible that even dawn may come. You and me, we don't believe in happy endings. Hey, Lady Day, can you save my life this time? Can you cry so beautifully you make my troubles rhyme? Hey, Lady Day, can you save my life again? My only love has gone away. Will you be my only friend? Billie you're a genius enough to be a fool. A fool to gamble everything and never know the rules. Some of us can only live in songs of love and trouble. Some of us can only live in bubbles. Hey, Lady Day, can you save my life again?

Someone told me you'd be here
Whispering these familiar things Talking to my little pet, smoking the same old cigarettes …I would have laughed I saw you last in summertime You said you hated long goodby-y-yes You said, “There's nothing to explain, in every life a little rain"? …etcetera ~ chorus ~ And a long-forgotten fairytale is in your eyes again And I'm caught inside a dream world where the colors are too intense …and nothing is making sense There's a floating town of ire down in a mist of mystery There's an old enchanted castle and the princess there is me …decked-out like a Christmas tree ~ end chorus ~ I guess you've had your little joke But I have lost my sense of hu-u-mor My medication's wearing off, for it's just not strong enough …to cover this. Then you kissed me like before I found myself wanting more And you tell that little lie that kept me hypnotized …another kiss ~ chorus ~ If somebody told me I'd succumb If someone said I'd be so dumb After all the sleepless nights, when I turned on all the lights …I would have hit them But I have turned the other cheek My voice trembles, my knees are weak And you beat me once again And I know what happens then …you raise the ante ~ chorus ~ |

how could I ever take you home You're beautiful, beautiful You've got a devastating point of view and everything you say is true You're beautiful, beautiful The nightbirds start to sing their favorite song: "The Way You Say Good-Night" The nightbirds start to sing their favorite song and the moon begins to sing I kiss you and the sun goes down How come it's always dark when you're around You're beautiful, beautiful The nightbirds start to sing their favorite song The moon begins to sing You're beautiful, beautiful The stars begin their Busby Berkeley dance: "The Way You Say Good-Night" And the night becomes a musical extravaganza: "The Way You Say Good-Night" The way you say good-night I dream of all day long Oh, I could write a song about the way you say good-night... |

Bang there was you too gold too blue
You told the truth. I cried. You flew. You called me mad (and I am mad) as a hatter. Some fall in love I shatter. You make it rain. Too bleak, too stark. Should night not fall you make things dark... You called me mad (and I am mad) as a hatter. Some fall in love I shatter. Bang here am I no one nowhere. No ground no sky, no light no air. You called me mad (and I am mad) as a hatter. Some fall in love I shatter. |

A pretty girl in her underwear..
A pretty girl in her underwear... If there's anything better in this world -- who cares? La mort, c'est la mort, Mais l'amour, c'est l'amour. La mort, c'est seulement la mort, Mais l'amour, c'est l'amour. A pretty boy in his underwear... A pretty boy in his underwear... If there's a better reason to jump for joy -- who cares? La mort, c'est la mort, Mais l'amour, c'est l'amour. La mort, c'est seulement la mort, Mais l'amour, c'est l'amour. |

It's a crime to fall in love.
Heart and mind, and soul in love. It's a crime to fall in love, so hard, so hard. I shouldn't have bothered, cause you're just like all the others. Now I know, and I won't do that again. I should've guessed that you'd be just like all the rest. Now I know not to go through that again. I'm still crying all night and all day, but if I show it, someone lock me away, because it's a crime to fall in love. Heart and mind, and soul in love. It's a crime to fall in love, so hard, so hard. My mother said gently, you can buy her a Bentley, but my son, she'll only drive it away. I didn't listen, cause my brain was missing, and I only found it today. I was a man but now I'm only a child. And if it kills me I am going to smile, cause it's a crime to fall in love. Heart and mind, and soul in love. It's a crime to fall in love, so hard, so hard. You won't be hearing from me anymore, cause I can't see through my tears anymore. If it takes years to be any more than a jellyfish, I will not tell you this, because it's a crime to fall in love. Heart and mind, and soul in love. It's a crime to fall in love, so hard, so hard. So hard, so hard. |

I should have forgotten you long ago
But you're in every song I know Whining and pining is wrong and so On and so forth, of course of course, But no, you can't have a divorce I haven't seen you in ages But it's not as bleak as it seems We still dance on whirling stages In my Busby Berkeley dreams The tears have stained all the pages Of my True Romance magazines We still dance in my outrageously beautiful Busby Berkeley dreams And now you want to leave me for good I refuse to believe you could You forget we're not made of wood Well darling you may do your worst Because you'll have to kill me first Do you think it's dangerous To have Busby Berkeley dreams? |

A single rose in your garden dwells
Like any rose it's not itself It is my love in your garden grows but let's pretend it's just a rose Well I'm sorry that I love you It's a phase that I'm going through There is nothing that I can do and I'm sorry that I love you Do not listen to my song Don't remember it, don't sing along Let's pretned it's a work of art Let's pretend it's not my heart... The rose will fade when summer's gone The song will fade and I'll be gone because my heart is dying too and it's all the same to you |

Acoustic Guitar,
I'm gonna make you a star, Get your picture all over the world Acoustic Guitar, You can have your own car, Just bring me back my girl She always loved the sound of your strum You made her think, maybe, I wasn't so dumb She tends to faint at the sound of a drum Cuz she's folk, so play it, maybe she'll come Acoustic Guitar, how lovely you are With your inlays of mother of pearl Be a good guitar and you could go far Just bring me back my girl She always said that you were the one That could make her move her cute little bum You understand where she's coming from Which I obviously don't, or she wouldn't be gone Acoustic guitar, if you think I play hard Well you could've belonged to Steve Earle Or Charo Or GWAR, I could sell you tomorrow So bring me back my girl You'd better bring me back my girl |

I met Ferdinand de Saussure
On a night like this On love he said "I'm not so sure I even know what it is No understanding No closure It is a nemesis You can't use a bulldozer To study orchids" He said... So we don't know anything You don't know anything I don't know anything about love But we are nothing You are nothing I am nothing Without love I'm just a great composer And not a violent man But I lost my composure And I shot Ferdinand Crying "it's well and kosher to say you don't understand but this is for Holland-Dozier-Holland" His last words were We don't know anything (etc) His fading words were We don't know anything (etc) |

I know where she goes The old guy with the gold eye We go back, he & I Don't smile We don't do that here baby Love in the Shadows Was never hard to find Sometimes the moonglow Plays tricks on your mind Love in The Shadows is the only kind The whispers you hear Are not sweet nothings Let's have one more beer And I'll tell you something Don't laugh I think you're beautiful Love In the Shadows Was never hard to find Sometimes the moonglow Plays tricks on your mind Love in the Shadows is the only kind |

Bitter tears keep me going
Through the years, freely flowing What have you done? Only a gun could stop these bitter tears The endless streets I walk along You made them seem pretty But now I dream in country songs And wake in New York City... Bitter tears keep me going Through the years, freely flowing What have you done? Only a gun could stop these bitter tears I cry because it looks so good I cry, why not? It's free And there's nothing more interesting Than crying constantly... And as I tell everyone, Crying all the time is fun, Bitter tears keep me going Through the years, freely flowing What have you done? Only a gun could stop these bitter tears |

Are you out of love with me?
Are you longing to be free? Do I drive you up a tree? Yeah! Oh, yeah! Do I drive you up the wall? Do you dread every phone call? Can you not stand me at all? Yeah! Oh, yeah! Though I need you more than air is it true you just don't care? Are you having an affair? Yeah! Oh, yeah! When we met I thought money was everything so I let you buy the house, the car, the ring but I can't take your perpetual whining and you can't sing I though if we live apart we could made a brand-new start Do you want to break my heart? Yeah! Oh, yeah! I've enjoyed making you miserable for years found peace of mind in playing on your fears How I loved to catch your gold and silver tears, but now my dear What a dark and dreary life Are you reaching for a knife? Could you really kill your wife? Yeah! Oh, yeah! Of, I die, I die, I die! So it's over, you and I Was my whole life just a lie? Yeah! Oh, yeah! |

Meaningless?
You mean it's all been meaningless? Every whisper and caress? Yes yes yes it was totally meaningless Meaningless like when two fireflies flouresce Just like everything I guess yes yes yes it was utterly meaningless Even less a little glimpse of nothingness sucking meaning from the rest of this mess Yes yes yes it was thoroughly meaningless and if some dim bulb should say we were in love in some way kick all his teeth in for me and if you feel like keeping on kicking feel free Meaningless Who dare say it wasn't meaningless? Shout from the rooftops and address the press Ha ha ha it was totally meaningless Meaningless Meaning less than a game of chess Just like your mother said and mother knows best I knew it all the time but now I confess Yes yes yes how deliciously meaningless Yes yes yes how effervescently meaningless Yes yes yes how beautifully meaningless Yes yes yes how profoundly meaningless Yes yes yes how definatively meaningless Yes yes yes how comprehensively meaningless Yes yes yes how magnificently meaningless Yes yes yes how incredibly meaningless Yes yes yes how unprecedentedly meaningless Yes yes yes how mind-blowingly meaningless Yes yes yes how unbelievably meaningless Yes yes yes how infinitely meaningless |

It makes you blind, it does you in
It makes you think you're pretty tough It makes you prone to crime and sin It makes you say thing off the cuff It's very small and made of glass and grossly over-advertised It turns a genius into an ass and makes a fool think he is wise It could make you regret your birth or turn cartwheels in your best suit It costs a lot more than it's worth and yet there is no substitute They keep it on a higher shelf the older and more pure it grows It has no color in itself but it can make you see rainbows You can find it at the Bowery or you can find it at Elaine's It makes your words more flowery It makes the sun shine, makes it rain You just get what they put in and they never put in enough Love is like a bottle of gin but a bottle of gin is not like love |

The moon was singing the blues
The stars in the sky harmonized singing it too and I, far below was singing low and slow for you and I know all the world was singing the blues The Queen was singing the blues The President played the saxophone sounded so along it was on the news And from Ursa Minor in what looked like an all-night diner came lonely luminous creatures whose only human feature was singing the blues soft and low The blues was singing the blues The dead in their graves and the gods in their caves, they'd been waiting so long to sing the blue song about you |

Should time allow us to describe our prowess
it would be quite hard to overrate, for we are the king of the boudoir old thing and the king doesn't like to wait. One tryst with me and you'll be spinning like a gyroscope. One tryst with me and you'll be Pope. Should modesty allow us to describe our prowesslessnesslessness 'twould be hard to overstate, for we are the king of the boudoir it's true and the king doesn't like to wait. One kiss from me and you'll be overjoyed and overawed. One kiss from me and you'll see God. For we are the king of the boudoir we are and the king doesn't like to wait. |

Strange eyes, blue clocks without hands
two lives lived in distant lands little blue mysteries what did they see in me Strange eyes, early Picassos call me even when you don't if only from pictures it having been three years The follow me in all my dreams Oh God I'm still in love with you Strange eyes, to little star charts plunges knives into my poor heart As lovely as a tree they endlessly recede Strange eyes, two little whirlpools made by God to destroy fools two pearls of inf'nite cost two paradises lost They swallow me in all my dreams Oh God I'm still in love with you |

So we got married in Venice in June
So what? We circled the Earth in a hot air balloon So what? and the rest of our lives is one long honeymoon well, that doesn't mean we're in love If you really loved me you'd buy me a beautiful pearl but you've already bought me all of the pearls in the world so there's one thing I crave when my days become ho-hum and blah I want a zebra We've got so many tchotchkes we've practically emptied the Louvre In most of our palaces there's hardly room to manoeuvre I shan't go to Balie today I must stay home and Hoovre up the gold dust That doesn't mean we're in love If you really loved me you'd buy me the Great Pyramid Oh, I'm so forgetful, you already did But there's one think I need if you won't think I'm greedy, my death another zebra Zelda looks lonely, I want a zebra |
