Lonely Hearts Killers

He was a lonely hearts killer
But he never seemed obscene
She was a lonely hearts killer
They advertised in the same magazine
Whoever thought they'd be together
So lonely but oh so phony
And like birds of a feather
They both don't know the meaning of sorry
They quietly planned each other's demise
Lonely hearts on the run
They silently planned each other's destinies
She was a lonely hearts killer
And she always seemed so free
He was a lonely hearts killer
And he thought that she would just let him be
And when they got together
It all just seemed so funny
But nothing lasts forever
Yeah they were both just in it for the money
They quietly planned each other's demise
Lonely hearts on the run
They silently planned each other's destinies
They were the lonely hearts killers
Ah Ah Ah
They were the lonely hearts killers
Ah Ah Ah
They quietly planned on your demise
The lonely hearts that kill
They silently planned out your destiny

What if I told you
I finally told you
I got to get to know you
Would you even believe me
Whoa oh
Cause I see you
Good God I really see you
Oh baby I need you
Do you even see me
I'm on my way
Cause I'm back in California
I hope you let me stay
Cause I'm back in California
On the highway
I move into the left lane
I hope you see it my way
Or will you simply ignore me
Whoa oh
If I find you
Good God I hope I find you
I swear I'll remind you
Do you even believe me
I'm on my way
Cause I'm back in California
I hope you let me stay
Cause I'm back in California
After you babe
It's true that I was never the same
And even though we never exchanged names
I'm back in California
Back in California

Believe It

Nothing seems to last
That's why we're here
Nothing seems to work
For you or for me
I tried to live my life
Without a care
Maybe you're too blind to see it
But if you ask me why
You better believe it
When I first laid eyes on you
I tried not to stare
Then I made myself scarce
For you and for me
And ever since that night
I wanted you near
Maybe you're too blind to see it
But if you ask me why
You better believe it
Aaahhh aaahhh aaahhh
Aaahhh aaahhh aaahhh
Aaahhh aaahhh aaahhh
Maybe you're too blind to see it
But if you ask me why
You better believe it

Hold me a little closer
In your arms
My friend
I need time to forget it all
I need time to mend
Oh how I miss playing in that rock and roll band
Oh Yeah
I miss that rock and roll band
We drove across the country
We played night after night
We didn't care about money
Until we started to fight
And I know we thought it'd never end
But some nights it just felt hard to win
And I know that we're no longer friends
But I would do it all over again
Oh how I miss playing in that rock and roll band
Oh Yeah
I miss that rock and roll band
I miss that rock and roll
I miss that rock and roll
I miss that rock and roll
I miss that rock and roll band
Rock and roll band
I miss that rock and roll band
Give me my rock and roll
Give me my rock and roll band

Love Is Guaranteed
03:16

Life keeps getting in the way
And I keep thinking about Susie Mae
She came to me in a dream and then she say
Wake up wake up
Nothing seems right today
I see her walking and I run the other way
And I tell myself I gotta
Get up get up
The one thing that I know
From the bottom of my heart
Is this love is guaranteed
I'm telling you this love is true
And I look up to her because she's six foot two
And every time I look at her
I wanna grow up grow up
It was never this hard to be cool
But then I never met someone so unusual
So I walk to her
But then I panic panic
The one thing that I know
From the bottom of my heart
Is this love is guaranteed
I don't know how anybody can see
Anything at all in somebody like me
When my life is always falling apart
Falling apart falling apart
But now I finally understand
It's time for me to be a different man
When I offer this lifetime guarantee
Strange thoughts messin' with my head
I'd rather be thinking about love instead
So I walk on through the avenue
To get a flower flower
Wondering what she'll say
I walk up to her with a rose at the end of the day
But she just smiles and walks away
Yeah
The one thing that I know
From the bottom of my heart
Is this love is guaranteed
The one thing that I know
From the bottom of my heart
Is this love is guaranteed
This love is guaranteed
I'll pack it up and ship it in a box for her
A lifetime guarantee sitting here for her
100% satisfaction guaranteed

Ooh Ooh Ah Ah Uh Huh
Ooh Ooh Ah Ah Uh Huh
You saw me laughing
You take me so so so so seriously
And then you saw me dancing
But you’re like f- f- f- f- family to me
Did you want the truth or an answer
You caught me last night with another dancer
Is there really anything left to say
Baby I’m back
Knockin’ on your window
And now I’m lying on your pillow
Ooh Ooh Ah Ah Uh Huh
Could we take a stroll love
Now there is something that I’d like you to see
Look into my eyes love
Let’s just pretend that we’re beginning again
Baby I’m back
Knockin’ on your window
And now I’m lying on your pillow
Ooh Ooh Ah Ah Uh Huh
All the things we loved once
Are now wrapped up in sentimentality
And we’re gonna die love
Can’t we forget it all and please leave it be
Baby I’m back
Knockin’ on your window
And now I’m lying on your pillow
I’m knockin’ on your window
I know you don’t really want me
But I swear, I’m never gonna leave you again
Ooh Ooh Ah Ah Uh Huh
Ooh Ooh Ah Ah Uh Huh
Did you want the truth or an answer
You caught me last night with another dancer
But I swear, I’m never gonna leave you again

He broke out
He was on the run
He had a thousand people looking for him
And he was on his own
But then he found
What seemed like a ghost town
And he thought to himself
This is where I need to hide
But then he caught her eyes
She was there
And then she was gone
Was it a moment of sudden beauty
Or just a mirage
And then she whispered a sound
That echoed through the ghost town
And she told him he could only stay for awhile
She was the Belle of Clarksville, Mississippi
She said come over here and kiss me
Because you're really gonna miss me
She was the Belle of Clarksville, Mississippi
She said come over here and kiss me
Because you're really gonna miss me
Ooh ooh aah
He woke up
And she was by his side
And he couldn't help but think
That something wasn't quite right
There was a knock on the door
And so he couldn't run anymore
Well there was only one brief moment to kiss her goodbye
She was the Belle of Clarksville, Mississippi
She said come over here and kiss me
Because you're really gonna miss me
She was the Belle of Clarksville, Mississippi
She said come over here and kiss me
Because you're really gonna miss me
Ooh ooh aah
Ooh ooh aah

You best get outta this house
You best get outta my way
I hope you feel what I’m feeling
I’ll see it happens today
Cause Charlene just told me to go go go
Charlene she used to love me but then she said no
Baby I could just die
Right here where I reside
In a False Paradise
I want the year that we had
To feel like it did yesterday
It’s just a moment I’m stealing
I’ll see it happens my way
Cause Charlene just told me to go go go
Charlene she used to love me but then she said no
Baby I could just die
Right here where I reside
In a False Paradise
Baby, baby, baby
Baby I could just die
Right here where I reside
In a False Paradise
Baby, baby, baby
A False Paradise
A False Paradise
A False Paradise

Over and Out
03:47
|
|||
|
When I wake up
And think about the things I've done with you
And I make it so I just can't get through
So I try to sleep it off
And dream it off
But nothing else is left
Cause I'll never get through
Oh but what fun it is
When promises
We tried so hard to keep up
For me
But for you it was never enough
The very last words I heard from you
Were over and out
I knew that we were too good to be true
Over and out
Over and out
Over and out
Can't remember sleeping
Wide awake
I tore the room apart
Just hoping I could find another pain killer
So I try to flip around
I flip it off
Cause every channel is you
This is gonna take some getting used to
Oh now but can't you see
The memories
We tried so hard to keep alive
For me
But for you it was never enough
The very last words I heard from you
Were over and out
I knew that we were too good to be true
Over and out
The very last words left me a mess
Over and out
It isn't up to me so please be my guest
Over and out
Over and out
Over and out
Oh but what fun it is
When promises
We tried so hard to keep up
For me
But for you it was never enough
Over and out
Over and out
