I saw a face in the shower door
A cowboy smile came and faded I reached for my towel on the floor I didn't think it was exactly where I'd laid it "You don't scare me, you don't scare me," I said To whatever it was floating in the air above my bed He knew I'd understand He was the ghost of a Texas ladies' man (Oh, oh, oh, oh) I reached to turn out the light He wouldn't let me get near it He seemed so glad to see a woman in the flesh And I really liked his spirit "You don't scare me, you don't scare me," I cried To my ectoplasmic lover from the other side He knew I'd understand He was the ghost of a Texas ladies' man "You don't scare me, you don't scare me," I cried To my ectoplasmic lover from the other side He knew I'd understand He was the ghost of a Texas ladies' man (Oh) Oh yeah (Oh, oh, oh) Ghost of a Texas ladies' man (Oh, oh) Oh yeah (Oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh). |

Why Don't You See Me? By Concrete Blonde
(J. Napolitano) When you lay down, Do you hear sounds? Does the silence have a voice? What does it say? What do you hear? What does it whisper in your ear? Why don't you hear me? Why don't you hear me? When you get up, into the light, When you come up out of your night, What do you see? And do you see? Or have you lost your sense of sight? Why don't you see me? Why don't you see me? Why don't you see me? Why don't you see me? What do you think? What do you feel? 'Cause this is feeling very real. And if you feel, Why can't you say? Give me a little demonstration. Can't you feel me? Why don't you feel me? Why don't you feel me? Why don't you feel me? Are you in love? Are you in pain? Are they together and the same? Where do you go? Who do you know? Are you that lonely ghost on the side? Why don't you see me? Why don't you free me? Why don't you feel me? Why don't you feel me? Why can't you hear me? Why can't you hear me? Why don't you see me? Why don't you see me? |

Say it's been too hard
Say it's been too long You say it's all too much The thrill has long been gone Well I thought you could Yes I thought you could And you thought you could too But it's a place and time Where the years behind are piled up high But never mind It's time to crash and burn or fly And I thought you could You know I thought you could You know I thought you could too Go to sleep now Go on dream away Isn't easy, is it babe? And I hope And I dream And I pray That sometime We'll find a way Some say easy come Some say easy go Some say time flies by too fast Some say it drags on all too slow Well I thought you could You know I thought you could And I thought I could too But, if you never find The heart to start all over again Remember I was one Who tried to be a friend to you ... I Well, I know I tried Yes, you know I tried And I know you tried too Go to sleep, now Go on dream away Is it easy, is it babe? And, I hope And, I dream And, I pray That sometime We'll find a way Go to sleep, now (Go to sleep, now) Go on dream away (Go on dream away) Is it easy, is it babe? (Is it easy, is it babe?) And, I hope And, I dream And, I pray That sometime We'll find a way |

All you can do is think about this man, and you haven't even got the nerve to tell him what you really think.) Yeah, yeah, I gotta go, too. Yeah, I've got a lot... lot of stuff to do. (Don't lie!

When you turned out the light
And walked out the door I said to myself What did I come here for? Did you have a good time Drinking whiskey and ryhme And did you want to be Bonnie and clyde? What goes on in your mind, What goes on in your head? Who did you think I would be Ha, well you got me instead. You think there's some connection That I'm your female reflection But no... I can be loyal And (a) I can be true But that's for somebody else And it will never be you. You think we're predetermined But babe you're learning Way to slow... But it seems such a long time ago. [er, something that sounds like "go, fishman" right before the solo] (oh...) he can see things You'll never know how to see. He's three times the man You'll never know how to be. I'll do anything he wants And I'll go anywhere He wants me to go. And if that isn't love Then I guess I'll just never know. But it seems a long time ago... |

Chorus:
It's a man's, man's, man's, man's world But it wouldn't be nothing Without a woman or a girl Man made the cars To take us over the road Man made the trains To carry his manmade load Man has made everything That he possibly can He's busy making money To buy from other men Chorus Man made the electric light To take us out of the dark Man made the boats on the water They say Noah made the Ark You man have made everything That you possibly can You're so busy making money To buy from other men Chorus Lost Well, he's lost In his wilderness Well, he's lost Lost in his bitterness Chorus Man said he love the little bitty baby girls And the little bitty baby boys Tries so hard to make them happy With his manmade toys Man's making everything That he possibly can Busy making his almighty money To buy from other men Chorus |
