It makes me scream

Ooh, makes me suffer all night long

I said that, oh, it makes me scream

Hey people, makes me suffer

I said, all night, all night long

I see the pain of the world, oh

And I carry it home

This no way I'll walk, I'll walk, I'll walk

And it's heavy

If you don't care

I said that, I don't care

If you don't care

I said that, I don't care no more

I know you love to block your ears

I know you love to close your eyes

Cause it makes things going easy, easy

I'll tell you this one thing for that

It's quite an easy thing

Fear, fear, fear

Fear is the most dangerous thing

Fear tears you down

Fear is making of them alone

[Solo]

Let me take you by your hand

I said, oh, let me take you by your hand

You don't have to be scared

I'd know the way pretty well

I walked many times

Open your ears

Open your eyes

Open your mind

Cause if you don't care

I said I'll turn my back around

Don't let the fear bring you down

Don't let the fear bring you down

Don't let fear bring you down

Oh, hey, don't let fear bring you down

For you, I was a flame

Love is a losing game

Five-storey fire as you came

Love is a losing game

One I wish I never played

Oh, what a mess we made

And now, the final frame

Love is a losing game

Played out by the band

Love is a losing hand

More than I could stand

Love is a losing hand

Self-professed, profound

Til the chips were down

Know you're a gambling man

Love is a losing hand

Though I battle blind

Love is a fate resigned

Memories mar my mind

Love, it is a fate resigned

Over futile odds

And laughed at by the gods

And now the final frame

Love is a losing game

[Verse 1]

Baby, do you understand me now

If, sometimes, you see that I'm mad?

Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?

When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

[Chorus]

But, oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh, Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood

[Verse 2]

You know, sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree

With a joy that's hard to hide

And then, sometimes, again, it seems that all I have is worry

And then you're bound to see my other side

[Chorus]

But, oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh, Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood

[Bridge]

If I seem edgy, I want you to know

I never mean to take it out on you

Life has its problems, and I get more than my share

But that's one thing I never mean to do, 'cause I love you

[Verse 3]

Oh, oh-oh-oh, baby, I'm just human

Don't you know I have faults, like anyone?

Sometimes, I find myself alone, regretting some little foolish thing

Some simple thing that I've done

[Chorus]

Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh, Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood

[Outro]

Don't let me be misunderstood

I try so hard, so please, don't let me be misunderstood

I've been loving you too long to stop now

You were tired and you want to be free

My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me

Oh I've been loving you a little too long

I don't want to stop now, oh

With you my life

Has been so wonderful

I can't stop now

You were tired and your love is growing cold

My love is growing stronger as our affair affair grows old

I've been loving you a little too long, long

To stop now

Oh, oh, oh

I've been loving you a little bit too long

I don't want to stop now no, no, no

Don't make me stop now, no baby

I'm down on my knees please, don't make me stop now

I love you, I love you

I love you with all of my heart

And I can't stop now

Please, please don't make me stop now

I put a spell on you

Because you're mine

You better stop the things you do

I tell you, I ain't lying

I ain't lying

You know I can't stand it

You're running around

You know better daddy

I can't stand it 'cause you put me down

Oh, no

I put a spell on you

Because you're mine

You know I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you anyhow

And I don't care

If you don't want me

I'm yours right now

I put a spell on you

Because you're mine

You know I can't stand it

You're running around

You know better daddy

I can't stand it 'cause you put me down

Ooh-hoo-ooh

I put a spell on you

Because you're mine

Because you're mine

Because you're mine

Oh

Yeah

The sky is crying,

Can you see the tears roll down the street.

The sky is crying,

Can you see the tears roll down the street.

I've been looking for my baby

And I've been wondering where can she be

I my baby early one morning

She was walking on down the street

I my baby early one morning

She was walking on down the street

You know it hurt me, hurt me so bad

It made my poor heart skip a beat

I got a real, real fine feeling

That my baby she don't love me no more

I got a real, real fine feeling

That my baby she don't love me no more

You know the sky's been crying

Can see you see the tears roll down my door

My baby don't care for shows

My baby don't care for clothes

My baby just cares for me

My baby don't care for cars and races

My baby don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style

And even Lana Turner's smile

Is somethin' he can't see

My baby don't care who knows

My baby just cares for me

Baby, my baby don't care for shows

And he don't even care for clothes

He cares for me

My baby don't care

For cars and races

Baby don't care for

He don't care for high-tone places

Liz Taylor is not his style

And even Liberace's smile

Is something he can't see

Is something he can't see

I wonder what's wrong with baby

My baby just cares for

My baby just cares for

My baby just cares for me

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces,

An airline ticket to romantic places,

A fairgrounds painted swings,

These foolish things remind me of you.

A tinkling piano in the next apartment,

Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant,

And still my heart has wings.

These foolish things remind me of you.

You came, you saw, you conquered me.

When you did that to me, I knew somehow

It had to be.

The winds of March that make my heart a dancer,

A telephone that rings but who's to answer.

Oh, how the thought of you clings.

These foolish things remind me of you.

Oh, yeah, yeah

Ooh, oh, yeah

Ooh, oooh, ooh, hah

Same old story back again

She's not a lover, she's just a friend

I'm sick and tired for you to blame on me

Now you think it's funny

Now you wanna spend your money on girls

But you forgot when you were down

That I was around

Call my lover, hang up, call again

What in the world is happening

Listen in, but don't yell at me

Isn't it ironic, all you wanna do is smoke chronic

Boy, you forgot when you were down

Who was around

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore

Waiting for love to walk through the door

I wish I didn't miss you anymore, anymore

Ooh, oooh, ooh, hah

Memories don't live like people do

I'm sick for ever believing you

Wish you'd bring back the man I knew

Was good to me, oh Lord

Everytime you say you're coming

Boy, you disappoint me, honey

How well you forgot when you were down

And I was around

I can't eat (Oh, no, no), I can't sleep anymore

Waiting for love to walk through the door (Ah, ah, ah)

I wish I didn't miss you anymore (Anymore)

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore

Waiting for love to walk through the door

I wish I didn't miss you anymore (Anymore)

One of these days, it's gonna happen to you

Missing a love like I'm missing you, babe yeah-yeah

One of these days, when your dreams come true

That's the one that's gonna do it to you

Oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore

Waiting for love to walk through the door

I wish I didn't miss you anymore

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore

Waiting for love to walk through the door

I wish I didn't miss you anymore

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore

Waiting for love to walk through the door

I wish I didn't miss you anymore

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you

Caught up in circles

Confusion is nothing new

Flashback, warm nights

Almost left behind

Suitcase of memories

Time after

Sometimes you picture me

I'm walking too far ahead

You're calling to me, I can't hear

What you've said

Then you say, "go slow"

And I fall behind

The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting

Time after time

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting

Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has

Turned to gray

Watching through windows

You're wondering if I'm okay

Secrets stolen from deep inside (deep inside)

And the drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting

Time after time

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting

Time after time

Time after time

I've got a suitcase of memories that I almost left behind

Time after time

Time, time, time

But you say to go slow but I fall behind

Time after time after time (after time, oh)

I've been so many places in my life and time

I've sung a lot of songs

I've made some bad rhymes

I've acted out my life in stages

With ten thousand people watching

But we're alone now

And I'm singing this song to you

I know your image of me

Is what I hoped to be

I treated you unkindly

But darling, can't you see?

There's no one more important to me

Baby, can't you see through me?

Cause we're alone now

And I'm singing this song to you

You taught me precious secrets

Of a true love withholding nothing

You came out in front when I was hiding

Now I'm so much better

And if my words don't come together

Listen to the melody

Cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place

Where there's no space or time

I love you for my life

You're a friend of mine

And when my life is over

Remember when we were together

We were alone

And I was singing this song to you

I love you in a place

Where there's no space or time

I love you for my life

You're a friend of mine

And when my life is over

Remember when we were together

We were alone

And I was singing this song to you

We were alone

And I was singing this song to you

We were alone

And I was singing this song, mm

Singing this song to you

And I won't be the only one

To travel over land and sea

And I won't be the only one

Cause that's the only life for me

Tell me 'bout your love and I've never seen it

It's not enough to make it, you gotta mean it

Woah, and it's down to you

I've tried everything to please you

And what else can I do

Darling, I can't wait

And I won't be the only one, who

Lay my life, lay my life on the line

The lights are up and curtains down

Listen boy, you're running out of time

You tell 'bout your love but you never show it

It's not enough to say, I gotta know it

Woah, and it's down to you

I've tried everything to please you

And what else can I do

Baby, I can't wait, oh

Woah, woah, woah

I know if I stay here, I'll never make it (never make it)

So running with my heart, before you break it

Woah oh

And it's down to you

I've tried everything to please you

And what else can I do

See baby, I can't wait

So woah, and it's down to you

I've tried everything, everything to please you

And what else can I do

Baby, I can't wait

See, love, I've tried everything

See, love, I've tried everything

See, love, I've tried everything

Ain't got no riches, ain't got no money that runs long

But I got a heart that's strong

And a love that's tall

Ain't got no name, ain't got no fancy education

But I can see right through

A powdered face on a painted fool

Let me slip through (Let me slip through)

Why you tryna hold me back? (I ain't)

I'm just tryna move up front

Lil more of this, lil less of that (Can you feel me?)

Let me come through (Let me come through)

I'm tired being in the back (Aight)

I'm just tryna move up front

A lil more of this, a lil less of that, yeah

They tell me I was born to lose

But I made a good good thing out of bad bad news

I don't worry, don't worry, don't worry about people in my face

I hit 'em with the style and grace

And watch their ankles break

I know you wish, I know you wish I would fade away

But I got more to say, Lord they pray

Let me slip through (Let me slip through)

Why you tryna hold me back? (I ain't)

I'm just tryna move up front

Lil more of this, lil less of that (Can you feel me?)

Let me come through (Let me come through)

I'm tired being in the back (Aight)

I'm just trynna move up front

A lil more of this, a lil less of that, yeah

They tell me I was born to lose

But I made a good good thing out of bad bad news

Alright alright, all day all night

Alright alright, all day all night

Alright alright, all day all night

Alright alright, all day all night

They tell me I was born to lose

But I made a good good thing out of bad bad news

Let me tell you story

About a little girl I know

When she walks into a room

You know she steals the show

She's crazy

And it's more than I can stand

I'm just crazy about that woman

And she's just crazy 'bout this man

She wakes me every morning

With that tender lovin' touch

Some fools don't get enough

But she just loves me too much

She's crazy

And it's more than I can stand

I'm just crazy about that woman

And she's just crazy 'bout this man

She always wants me around

But I ain't got time

But you know she got that little ways

To make me change my mind...

She's crazy

And it's more than I can stand

I'm just crazy about that woman

And she's just crazy 'bout this man

You were my sun, you were my earth

But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no

So you took a chance, made other plans

But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no

You don't have to say, what you did

I already know, I found out from him

Now there's just no chance

With you and me

There'll never be

Don't it make you sad about it?

You told me you love me

Why did you leave me all alone

Now you tell me you need me

When you call me on the phone

Girl, I refuse

You must have me confused with some other guy

The bridges were burned

Now it's your turn, to cry

Cry me a river

Cry me a river

Cry me a river

Cry me a river

You know that they say that somethings are better left unsaid

It wasn't like you only talked to him

And you know it

(Don't act like you don't know it)

All of these things people told me

Keep messing with my head

Should've picked honesty

Then you may not have blown it

You don't have to say, what you did

I already know, I found out from him

Now there's just no chance

With you and me

There'll never be

Don't it make you sad about it?

You told me you love me

Why did you leave me all alone

Now you tell me you need me

When you call me on the phone

Girl, I refuse

You must have me confused with some other guy

The bridges were burned

Now it's your turn, to cry

Cry me a river (go on and just)

Cry me a river (go on and just)

Cry me a river (baby, go on and just)

Cry me a river

Oh!

The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving

Oh!

The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving

Oh!

The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving

Oh!

The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving

You don't have to say, what you did

I already know, I found out from him

Now there's just no chance

With you and me

There'll never be

Don't it make you sad about it?

Cry me a river (go on and just)

Cry me a river (baby, go on and just)

Cry me a river (you can go on and just)

Cry me a river

Cry me a river (baby, go on and just)

Cry me a river (go on and just)

Cry me a river (oh, baby, cry)

Cry me a river (I don't wanna cry no more)

Cry me a river

Cry me a river

Cry me a river

Cry me a river

Cry me a river (cry me, cry me)

Cry me a river (cry me, cry me)

Cry me a river (cry me, cry me)

Cry me a river (cry me, cry me)

Cry me a river (cry me, cry me)

Cry me a river (cry me, cry me)

Cry me a river (cry me, cry me)

Come on over to the place where I live

And all your loneliness I'll try to soothe

I'll play the blues for you

Don't be afraid come on in

You might run across some of your old friends

All your loneliness I gotta soothe

I'll play the blues for you

I got no big name and I ain't no big star

I play the blues for you on my guitar

All your loneliness I'll try to soothe

I 'll play the blues for you

Strumming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my whole life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style

And so I came to see him, to listen for a while

And there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)

Singing my life with his words (two times, two times)

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my whole life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd

I felt he'd found my letters and read each one out loud

I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)

Singing my life with his words (two times, two times)

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my whole life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Yo, L-Boog, take me to the bridge

Woah

Woah-oah-ah-ah-ah uh, uh

La-la-la, la, la, la

Woah, la

Woah, la (ha, ha, ha, ha)

La-ah-ah-ah-ah

Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing my life)

Singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my whole life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Yo, put your hands together for L-Boogie (strumming my pain)
