I Want My Mommy
02:18
|
|||
I got an arrow in my heart
and my pressure's off the chart
I want my Mommy, I want my Mommy
I never learned to walk or talk
I am as lonley as a hawk
I want my Mommy, I want my Mommy
(chorus):
Mommy- I smell a fire, I hear a dog,
There is a shadow on my bedroom wall
I'm gonna wail before I wilt
I'm gonna crush what I have built
I want my Mommy, I want my Mommy
(Repeat chorus)
Mommy, mommy, I'm cying...

Marylou
03:29
|
|||
Poor Marylou does not want to cuddle
She don't wanna pet, just pout in a puddle
She's so upset, but I think she'll muddle through
She's in distress, sending up flares
Although, more or less nobody cares
And I'm not impressed, what is it I'm supposed to do?
Marylou, what's wrong with you?
Your S.O.S. couldn't worry me less
Get a grip, your ladyship
I've better things to do
Poor Marylou needs more than I can give
Boo-hoo! I'm so insensitive!
All I do is tell her that she's okay.
She's on the phone with her classmate Jamie,
I can make out every word that they're saying
And I suspect that she's planned it out that way.
Marylou, what's wrong with you?
Your S.O.S. couldn't worry me less
Get a grip, your ladyship
I've better things to do
She's a victim extraordinaire.
You'd think she could cope,
I think that she's beyond hope
She's the girl who cried wolf.
You'd think she could see
the only wolf here is me.
Marylou, what's wrong with you?
Your S.O.S. couldn't worry me less
Get a grip, your ladyship
I've better things to do

But Do You Trust Me?
04:06
|
|||
My first offense
Was playing hide and seek
With all of my thoughts and fears
To my defense,
I'm unaccostomed to the lifestyle of the sincere.
Everybody knows my game
I'd sooner die than reveal my name
I played the part
Acted with empathy, and lost myself in the role
I had you fooled
You snuck inside of me and still couldn't find a soul. Everybody has their kinks, I'm not as crooked as people think
(Chorus:)
But do you trust me? Do you trust me?
I don't see why you should.
I guess I'm rusty - guess I must be
But still you do me good.
My biggest lie
Was when I told you that I have everything it takes
I'm not the guy
I just impersonate him until I get the shakes
I just made history
For once, the truth came out of me
(Repeat Chorus)
After all that's just occured,
Would it really be absurd
For you to try to take me at my word?
(Repeat Chorus)

Life Preserver
03:38
|
|||
Handsome hunks in swimming trunks
May turn a lady's head
And happy Jacks may fill their slacks
Where lovely ladies tread
But before you lock that door
Take heed and halt instead...
You might jump into bed
And end up deader than dead
(chorus:)
Take care of your life preserver
When a lover comes to call
Don't play with your parachute
You never know when you might fall
(Jaye:) Do you know what love is for?
(Ben:) I know that it's for good
(Jaye:) Can you reall be so sure?
(Ben:) I always knock on wood
(Jaye:) Have you been in love before?
(Ben:) I thought you'd never ask
I fell, but stayed on my feet
(Jaye:) Now THAT'S a difficult task
(repeat chorus)
When I was a little girl
My mother sat me down
And told me that the sea of love
Is where the foolish drown
Of course, I had my headphones on
And missed my Mom's advice
I was boppin' with bird
Now I'm paying the price.
(repeat chorus)

How Was I To Know
02:57
|
|||
I knew you couldn't stay
I knew you had to go
But how was I to know?
Oh, How was I to know?
Oh, How was I to know,
It would be like this?
I knew it couldn't be
I knew it wasn't so
But how was I to know?
Oh, How was I to know?
Oh, How was I to know,
It would be like this?
Even though I knew, I knew
I was taken by surprise by you
I would have let it be, you see
But today my heart snuck up on me.
How was I to know?

Photo Of The Future
01:40
|
|||
Take a happy photo of the future
and then put it in a frame upon a shelf
and whenever you're low
take a look at that photo
breathe easy and say to yourself:
"I know who I am and where I'm going
and I see what is to come will be a blast".
And in a blur that photo of the future
will change into one of the past.
Take a little photo of a happy future past.

After You Cum
03:05
|
|||
Hot shot Poppa in Ralph Lauren
Stealing the scene
Spots Hot Tottie so feminine
Just seventeen
And he wants her body, want's to hit back
Wants her back flat back in his bachelor pad flat,
Hot shot Poppa in heat again, where will you be
(CHORUS:)
After you cum
What's left then after you cum?
What's left then after you cum?
Popstar businessman making it
Raking in dough
Singing it on the radio
Lawyer in tow
And he wants some rock and roll and stock pop
Rolling in royalities and what-not, but
When you get to the popstar top, where will you go?
(Repeat Chorus)
Old man, lying in bed awake,
He's taken his pill
His great grandchildren are put to bed
He's made out his will
And he wants back his body, wants to hit back
Wants his back flat back in his bachelor pad flat
And he wants some rock and roll and stock pop
Rolling in robbery and what-not
But he didn't do all the things that he wanted to
Won't be no tribute plaque - he won't come back
He's not ready, unsteady, wishes he could hide
And he thought he'd be satisfied when he died
(Repeat Chorus).

To Be Honest
04:14
|
|||
I'm trying, but who am I kidding?
Auditioning girls for the role,
They're not able to play the part
Of my heart and soul.
You'd probably think it was fitting,
You'd probably be laughing at me
If you knew that these girls I woo
I can barely see.
To be honest, when I miss you most
Isn't when I'm on my own
I can go about my business
And be content to be alone.
But when I go out with other girls,
They leave me starving for your charms.
To be honest, when I miss you most,
I'm in someone else's arms.
I'll ask them sensitive questions
And listen attentively too
I'll be charming and kind and wish
I were out with you.
After she's finished her coffee,
After I've paid for the meal,
We'll go back to my place and
I'll make believe I feel.
To be honest, when I miss you most
Isn't when I'm on my own
I can go about my business
And be content to be alone.

Girl In A Restaurant
02:59
|
|||
Sitting by herself, just up ahead and to the right
Is the most perposterously tantalizing sight
Eating what appears to be a steak
(Waching her my hands begin to shake)
She's dressed quite inconspicuosly in a navy skirt
With a silver necklace and a copper long sleeve shirt
Drinking jasmine tea out of a cup
(I wonder if some bastard stood her up)
I've found all that I want
My salvation is a girl in a restaurant
Tell me, tell me your name
Your timing is divine, I'm awfully glad you came
Every now and then she runs a finger through her hair
Tucks a strand behind her ear, and tries to keep it
there
Pretty soon it's jostled out of place
And it falls across her devastating face
I've found all that I want
My salvation is a girl in a restaurant
Tell me, tell me your game,
You're really something else:
A movie star, a beauty queen
A model in a magazine
A genius with a Phd,
A scholar of psychology
A debutante, a millionaire
A homeless waif, a Damsel fair
A gymnast with a hidden scar
A dancer or a tennis star
Well I don't know - But I know who you are.
I've found all that I want
My salvation is a girl in a restaurant
Tell me, tell me your name
Your timing is divine, I'm awfully glad you came
