every day I wake up and wonder why
I'm alone when i know I'm a lovely guy
birds come down from skies so blue
see all the beautiful things you do
why can't I just get with you
every night I carry out my plan
pray to god that one day I can be your man
birds come down from skies so blue
see all the beautiful things you do
why cant I just get with..
you'd be my only friend in the world
or you could just be
my girl
and if I do run away from this life
it wont be much for me in the afterlife
allthough I know that you don't even care
I'd rather stay in a world where
birds come down from skies so blue
see all the beautiful things you do
why can't I just get with
you

Record company hates me
The doctor says I'm sick
The bad girls think I'm just too nice
And the nice girls call me 'Dick'
But baby loves me
And she's smarter than you
My baby loves me
Unlikely but true
Policeman flashes the red lights
Coach says that I'm weak
Teacher says I'm not too bright
Bodybuilder calls me pipsqueak
But baby loves me
And she's smarter than you
My baby loves me
Unlikely but true
The neighbors don't like my flowers
The waiter don't like my tip
The librarian shushes me
Travel agent canceled my trip
But baby loves me
And she's smarter than you
My baby loves me
Unlikely but true
Minister says I'm a demon
Dietitian says I'm a pig
Warm hearted say I'm freezin'
Promoter won't give me the gig
But baby loves me
And she's smarter than you
My baby loves me
Unlikely but true
My tired body is breakin' down
The world is endin' soon
It's all crumblin' at my feet
Not sure what to do
But baby loves me
And that's a real good thing
My baby loves me
It's a beautiful thing
But baby loves me
And she's smarter than you
My baby loves me
Unlikely but true
Baby loves me

All my life I had this funny little feeling
Came and went time and again in all my daily dealings
Call it a deficit, an emptiness inside
Why is true love hard to find, why does true love hide

But now I found you and I know that we would be
So very happy if you could only see
That I was made for you and you were made for me

The road in front of us is long and it is wide
We've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side
With you I will and well I think I'm qualified
And with beginner's luck we've got to take the ride

I've got a plan you know I've got it all worked out
And all you gotta do is pack your bags and check your doubts
You come around and you will see just what I am
A true love through the worst of times, a true love to the end

So now you found me and you only gotta see
How complementary we could really be
Cos I was made for you and you were made for me

The road in front of us is long and it is wide
We've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side
We will be stronger if our forces are aligned
And with beginner's luck we've got to take the ride

We'll take the ride as far as anyone can go
We'll pray hand in hand until the toe
I've got it all worked out don't worry about a thing
Just give your hand to me, and here, put on this ring

The road in front of us is long and it is wide
We've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side
With you I will and well I think I'm qualified
And with beginner's luck we've got to take the ride

Where do you go when
The day is done
But you are not?
You look for a friend, but
Maybe I'm
All you got

Hard to pretend that I've always been here
Ready to be your man

And I heard sounds
Comin' through
The bedroom wall
Somebody cryin'
Echoin'
Down the hall

Never knew what it is to be a man
But now I know that I can

It's all here for you
It's all here for you

And when you need me
You know that I'm
Always here
It's not gonna be like
It ever was
Before, my dear

Hard to believe the dyin' words of a lyin' man
But that's not me
Here I am

It's all here for you
It's all here for you

Sun down on the sorry day
By nightlights the children pray
I know you´re prob´ly gettin´ ready for bed
Beautiful woman get out of my head

I´m so tired of the same old crud
Sweet baby I need fresh blood

Whoo!
Howl

The moon shines on the autumn sky
Growin´ cold the leaves all die
I´m more alone than I´ve ever been
Help me out of the shape I´m in

After the fires before the flood
My sweet baby I need fresh blood

Whoo!
Howl

Whatever trepidation you may feel
In your heart you know it´s not real
In a moment of clarity
Some little act of charity

You gotta pull me out of this mud
Sweet baby I need fresh blood

Whoo!
Howl

Whoo!
Howl

I like your toothy smile,
it never fails to beguile.
Whichever way the wind is blowing
I like the way this is going.

I like the color of your hair,
I think we make a handsome pair.
I can only see my love growing
I like the way this is going

I like to watch TV with you,
there's really nothing i would rather do.
Then maybe we can go to bed,
get up and do it all again.

I like the way your pants fit,
how you stand and how you sit,
whatever seeds that you're sowing,
I like the way this is going.

I don't care about the past,
none of it was made to last,
it's not what who you've known,
but who you're knowing,

I like the way this is going
I like the way this is going.

The old oak tree had roots so far down in the ground
I fell from it and hit the dirt without a sound
I dreamt at night of growing wings so I could fly
A caterpillar to a moth before I die

I plodded through, ordinarily earthbound
I knew my feet could never leave the ground
I went about my way, unsteady and afraid
How could I know I was headed for this day?
All the seconds
And the minutes
And the hours
And the days
And the weeks
And the months
And the years of my life

It was all worth it
To be here now

I'm a hummingbird
Floatin' tree to tree
I'm a hummingbird
Beautiful and free

The old oak tree was dead; I had to cut it down
The sapling roots were new and sprouting through the ground
New worlds were taking shape, unseen and unknown
A branch to rest upon
A place to call my own

Something had changed, and I'm not sure how or why
I wasn't dreaming; I was awake, I was alive
Gave up the ghost; he had nothing left to say
But it was him who brought me to this day
All the seconds
And the minutes
And the hours
And the days
And the weeks
And the months
And the years of my life

It was all worth it
To be here now

My love is always just as she seems
A force of nature all her own
To be reckoned with
Whatever's wrong with me
Her kiss redeems
And it's all there
In my dreams

My love is soaring
She glides through the sky
Hardly a warning
She takes my hand
Says "Open your eyes"
We look down on the earth
And all its schemes
We laugh
And it's all there
In my dreams

We swoop down below the clouds
Destination unknown
And then she says
"Let's go home"

My love is resting under a tree
She whispers softly in my ear
As she lay next to me
"That was the funnest day"
Her sad eyes beam
And it's all there
In my dreams

Let's ruin Julie's birthday
I didn't get my invite
Could be lost in the mail or something
I'm gonna be there tonight

I never cared about her anyway
And I guess she never cared
About me

And what do you mean that I can't go?
Where does it say that I'm a fool?
Doesn't she know that I'm an exception
To the rule?

Let's ruin Julie's birthday
I can see right through her act
She said something about me
And all the cool kids made a pact

I never cared about her anyway
And I guess she never cared
About me

And what do you mean that I can't go?
Where does it say that I'm a fool?
Doesn't she know that I'm an exception
To the rule?

Let's ruin Julie's birthday
What does she have to celebrate?
It's not a party if I'm not there
Just her stupid friends and a birthday cake

I never cared about her anyway
And I guess she never cared
About me

And what do you mean that I can't go?
Where does it say that I'm a fool?
Doesn't she know that I'm an exception
To the rule?

And what do you mean that I can't go? (What do you mean I can't go?)
Where does it say that I'm a fool? (You take me for a fool)
Doesn't she know that I'm an exception
To the rule?

Lilac blowing through the warm summer air
Hint of your perfume
The smell of your hair
Sun is setting and the crows all cry
Electrical storm forming in the sky
Got a hurt inside that I just gotta heal
All I can do is feel, feel, feel
Day is dying and the night is born
Baby don't leave me so lovelorn

A hungry dog howls through the trees
It echoes long on the lilac breeze
A blackbird sings a song so sad
Girl, I want it bad
Girl, I want it bad

Birds do it, bees do it
I wanna do it
The only thing we need to do
Is get down to it
Please hear my plea
Know it comes from the heart
Baby, you and me got something to start

A hungry dog howls through the trees
It echoes long on the lilac breeze
A blackbird sings a song so sad
Girl, I want it bad
Girl, I want it bad

Why won't you hear me?
I'm a desperate man
Darling, don't fear me
Just say we can

Lilac blowing in the warm summer breeze
Floating so soft with the cries in the trees
Sun is setting and the day is dead
How can I get it through your pretty little head

A hungry dog howls through the trees
It echoes long on the lilac breeze
A blackbird sings a song so sad
Girl, I want it bad
Girl, I want it bad
Girl, I want it bad

Oh, it's looking up
Let me tell you what I mean
Used to be kind of bitter
Always had a babysitter
But I'm feeling much fitter
Now I'm kind of sweet
Back on my feet
Walking down the street
Yeah, I'm looking up
It's looking up

Kind of a tool
Like a damn fool

My timing is off
She isn't ready for my love
It's all that I got
But it's a pretty big thing
That she should recognize;
The truth between us cannot hide
She knows that it's real
But the situation doesn't fit
I know what I feel
And I know that this is really
Everything it's all about
And I don't have a single doubt
My timing is off
But sometimes that's how it all works
Believe it or not
We don't have a choice
In matters of the heart;
Just gotta be brave enough
To love and let yourself be loved
My timing is off
And I'm not worried 'bout a thing
She knows that it's real
She couldn't throw it all away
For fear of happiness
This isn't like that other mess

How does a little baby know how to smile?
How does a cat land on his feet?
Why does it feel like you've been here before?
How do the two perfect people meet?

Pain in my heart, twistin' like a knife
Disappeared just overnight
Good morning, mystery of life

La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la

How does a mother wake up in the night
When she knows her daughter's sad
On the other side of the earth?
How does she know the kind of day she's had?

Ghosts flyin' all around my life
Sent a message both bold and bright
Good morning, mystery of life

La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la

La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la

How does a man lose all that he loves
And find the strength to rise above
Havin' nothing to call his own?
How does he find that he still has love?

No more sorrow, no more strife
Always some daylight followin' the night

My friend was lyin', the grass was dyin'
It felt like a story you don't care where it leads
A change of venue, will it mend you?
If the grass is not greener, you know what it needs
I knew that I had to throw down some seeds
Oh, so lovely, Lord above me
I feel my heart changin' in mysterious new ways
Everybody, oh, so lovely
Now how can I tell you how grateful I am?
Fair weather friends, they make amends
But you look in their eyes and you know it's not real
A little carin' and soul-barin'
The actor's contract pays him how to feel
I knew it was time to make a new deal
Oh, so lovely, Lord above me
I feel my heart changin' in mysterious new ways
Everybody, oh, so lovely
Now how can I tell you how grateful I am?
Jacaranda bloomin'
No clouds are loomin'
The trees are swayin'
In the wind
Up in the mornin' without a warnin'
The sun is a shinin' like a new born's smile
It's time I faced it, don't wanna waste it
I could run away but that's just not my style
And I think that I just might stay here a while
Oh, so lovely, Lord above me
I feel my heart changin' in mysterious new ways
Everybody, oh, so lovely
Now how can I tell you how grateful I am?

Well its another warm day
In a city of cold hearts
They all just play the part
Of who they are
And I'm here, On my own
Id rather be alone
than try to be someone that I'm not
And you seem like someone
Who could appreciate the fact
That I'm no ordinary man

And its misunderstood
What you've heard about me

No one has a right
Until they've fought my fight
To understand just where I'm coming from
And its that fight that brought me here today
Exactly as i am
No ordinary man

Well its another warm day
In the city of cold hearts
It ends before it starts in their maze

That I'm no ordinary man

So many worlds inside her eyes

Part of the job of bein' her man
Is knowin' when to let go of her hand
Her kind of power, it can't be reigned in
To hold her back would be a sin

All good things are defined by her kiss

She's a spectacular girl
She sees the beauty in things we all miss
All good things are defined by her kiss
If you're feelin' like you can't believe
Well, then, how do you explain the miracle I see?
She's a spectacular girl, spectacular girl
Not a desire and not a need
Some things just happen 'cause they have to be
I'm gonna get there, I'm tellin' you, sir
I'm a man on a mission and I'm all about her
She's a spectacular girl, spectacular girl
Aw, yeah
My love

She's got a life livin' in her heart
She's got these eyes, well, where do I start?
Like lookin' at the deep night sky
So many worlds inside her eyes
She's a spectacular girl
Part of the job of bein' her man
Is knowin' when to let go of her hand
Her kind of power, it can't be reigned in
To hold her back would be a sin
She's a spectacular girl
She sees the beauty in things we all miss
All good things are defined by her kiss
If you're feelin' like you can't believe
Well, then, how do you explain the miracle I see?
She's a spectacular girl, spectacular girl
Not a desire and not a need
Some things just happen 'cause they have to be
I'm gonna get there, I'm tellin' you, sir
I'm a man on a mission and I'm all about her
She's a spectacular girl, spectacular girl
Aw, yeah
My love

If the world's a rotten place
You better just forget it
In the crowd just another face
Gonna make 'em regret it

Take a heart and squash it hard
Like a little grape
Push it down 'tween boot and ground
'Til it loses shape

And if you feel like you can't swim
When you're thrown in the lake
Just watch the bugs
Passin' by you as you
Slip under their wake
Again

If you let your feelings shine
You better cover 'em up, kid
Ain't no sense in wastin' time
Dream behind your eyelids

Take a heart and squash it hard
Like a little bug
Swig it down and spit it out
And kick it under the rug

And if you feel like you can't swim
When you're thrown in the lake
Just watch the bugs
Passin' by you as you
Slip under their wake
Again

Take a heart and squash it hard
Like a little ant
Scrape it off the sole of your shoe
On the welcome mat

And if you feel like you can't swim
When you're thrown in the lake
Just watch the bugs
Passin' by you as you
Slip under their wake
Again

Ooh
Ooh

I never tought that I could be so bold,
to even say these toughts aloud.
I see you with him, and your eyes just shine,
while he stands tall and walking proud.

That look you give that guy, I wanna see...
Looking right at me.
If I could be that guy, instead of me...
I'd never let you down.

It always seems like you're going somewhere,
better than you've been before.
When I go to sleep, and I dream all night,
of you knocking on my door.

That look you give that guy, I wanna see...
Looking right at me.
If I could be that guy, instead of me...
I'd be all I can be. I'd be all I can be.

I'm nothing like what I'd like to be
I'm nothing much, I know it's true.
I'd like to stand in a better view
And my chances are so few

That look you give that guy, I wanna see...
Looking right at me.
If I could be that guy, instead of me...
I'd give you all I got.

I never tought that I could be so bold,
to even say these toughts aloud.
But if let's say, it won't work out.
You know where I can be found.

I like your toothy smile,
it never fails to beguile.
Whichever way the wind is blowing
I like the way this is going.

I like the color of your hair,
I think we make a handsome pair.
I can only see my love growing
I like the way this is going

I like to watch TV with you,
there's really nothing i would rather do.
Then maybe we can go to bed,
get up and do it all again.

I like the way your pants fit,
how you stand and how you sit,
whatever seeds that you're sowing,
I like the way this is going.

I don't care about the past,
none of it was made to last,
it's not what who you've known,
but who you're knowing,

I like the way this is going

Look in the mirror
I am The Man
Mrs. Miller says
I am The Man
Ask the birds singin'
I am The Man
Everyone is a fan

A little walk through the neighborhood
People nod 'cause it's understood
Mr. Henry comes out to stand
A wave and shout-out
To The Man

Ask the birds singin'
I am The Man
By popular demand

The little skinhead with the tattooed face
Shows me a moment of style and grace
The old hippie with the tie-dye headband
Flashes a peace sign to The Man

Ask the birds singin'
I am The Man
Well, I do what I can

The angry redneck in his pickup truck
Tips his hat and gives the thumbs-up
The New Age guy with the yoga mat
Blesses me with a pat on the back
The longhaired indie rock kid in a band
Looks through his hair and shakes my hand
The old homeless guy who smells like pee
Stops talking nonsense and says "Morning, E"

Ask the birds singin'
I am The Man
It's all part of the plan

The thug rapper with the gold and chains
Puts in his grill and says "Good day"
The politician going door to door
Says "No vote means more to me than yours"

Ask the birds singin'
I am The Man
You know I'd win if I ran

In the morning
When the birds are still asleep
You can feel it
No cars are on the street
It’s anybody’s day
It could go any way
Why wouldn’t you want to make
The most of it?

In the morning
There’s nothing left to prove
If it’s your game
It’s time to make a move
Don’t look the other way
You’re gonna have your say
Why wouldn’t you want to make
It really count?

In the morning
Yesterday is just a dream
Out the window
Take a look at all you see
Baptized by the sun
Go on and have some fun
Why wouldn’t you want to have
The greatest day?

With a lustful admiration
I look upon you
Can't wait until tomorrow
The things that we'll do

And this
Is where
It gets good

Permission to speak freely?
Well, I really must confess
I can't stop thinking 'bout you
Gettin' out of your dress

And this
Is where
It gets good

The sky in your eyes
The earth in your touch
The spirits come together
Well, it's almost too much

I am el hombre lobo
On the prowl for a restless night
I got her right here in my sights
Got a fuse that I can light
She's tremendous
She's dynamite

She is a formidable opponent
She could put up a hard won fight
Got her head screwed on real tight
Being the bomb is her birthright
She's tremendous
She's dynamite

She's tremendous dynamite

I am el hombre lobo
On the prowl just past midnight
Darting under the town searchlights
It's all worth it to take a bite
She's tremendous
She's dynamite

What I have to offer
Well, there's a lot
Now I'm a modest man
But look at all I got
For all the wear and tear
I look okay
I got good manners
And I make good, good pay
And you know I'm all full of love
For you
What I have to offer
Well, there's so much
I care and need your really
Tender touch
I got a pleasin' disposition
And I don't care about
Football or fishin'
And you know that I'm all full of love
For you
What I have to offer
Well, check it out
I've learned some things
And I know what it's about
I'm quite discerning and
I""m pretty smart
It takes an awful lot to
Win my heart
But you know that I'm so full of love
For you

I'm so bored
I wanna get in trouble
Buried alive
Beneath my life's rubble
I'll tell you what's really making me sad
Your disinterest is driving me mad
You're so fine
If you were mine I'd love you up
Give me a sign my darling
Well, I can shine
If you'd just let me know

What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?

I'm so tired of feeling I could be more
I need a purpose
What am I for?
What I'd like
After close inspection
Is for you to look in my direction
You're so fine
If you were mine I'd love you up
Give me a sign my darling
Well I can shine
If you'd just give it up

What's a fella gotta do
To spen a little time with you?

I'm so bored
I'd welcome a disaster
Anything to make the heart beat faster
But I got a feeling we could be so right
Make my day
I'll make your night

What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
