Don't Try and Change Me Please

So many things I have on my list
too many to remember some I miss
some I just cant get off my lips
in my minds eye
I still see you standing there
I try to look away
as if I didn't care
but we both know I did

I can't explain
why I felt like it was the thing to do
perhaps too many years I spent with you
in my heart I knew what you would do
to turn me around never let me go

I have to get away
I have to get away
from you and this town
before the both of you bring me
bring me down
ya before the both of you bring me down
oh...oh...bring me down

Now the road I'm on has been long and hard
the trials sometimes tricky as they test me
they try to break my crown all day long
frustrated they resent me all over again
time to move on
ya time to move on

On and on
it seems like the same old song
I keep hearing them
the voices calling me
from deep down inside me
whats going on
I need some one
to hold my hand and tell me its okay

Funny how all these roads
want to turn me around
one big old u turn
their circle is round
back to my old home town
where I remember having fun
all summer long
ya...ya...ya..all summer long
wasn't it fun

The trouble we got into
seems so innocent to what we now know
the world was so big now its small
but we might as well be worlds away
for you see there's separation when we play
these silly love games

So I'll try and walk tall
while we play these silly love games
I'll try and walk tall when i see you
I'll try and not fall when i see you
when we play these silly love games

Why don't you be a man
take me as I am
don't try and change me
to want you want me to be
the more you hold on to me
the more I want to be free

Don't try and change me please
don't try and change me please
don't try and change me please

Before the Night is Gone

There's just one more chance
to get it right
never ever let them say
give up without a fight

There's a new romance
looking at you
from across the room

Shy shy shy girl
with you in her sights 
looks as though she sees what she likes
she adores

Shes a wild thing
ah the way she moves
she captures all the young boys hearts
when they see her on the dance floor

Oh I must be dreaming
I'm right out of my mind
how can this be true
she's coming straight for me

Baby baby baby
you're holding me close
but I'm still not sure

Oh then it happens
our lips slow to greet
so we kiss
with everyone watching

Too scared to open my eyes
I don't want to lose you now

The warmth of your touch
somehow calms me inside
baby baby baby
you know you're perfect for me

Ahh the night fills with laughter
like a summer breeze
lifting me higher and higher
making me believe

You
you are the one
I have been waiting for
oh and I have been empty inside
for way too long

So kiss me baby
kiss before the night is gone

Oooh...oooh
kiss me before the night is gone

Your lips taste like honey
sweet sweet honey baby

Kiss me the night is young

Kiss me...kiss me...kiss me

Kiss me before the night is gone

The night is gone
The night is gone

Hoping for a Chance

Sitting on the outside
looking in to the inside
I'm sulking to myself in the rain
sipping the drops that fall from the brow of my hat
i just can't  help but to wonder how it all came to this

Now i can remember when you used to smile
to yourself at everything that came your way
well those are the times that i miss most
oh what i would give to see you smile again
but i know there's no turning back

So here i am again
sitting here looking in
hoping for a little glimpse
for something to keep me holding on

Somehow i just can't let it go
i keep seeing your smiling face
it's all wrapped up in my dreams
this window that covets so
is the only place that i go
hoping for a chance to repeat it all

This love that cuts me deep
started from the moment that we met
can't deny what it means
sitting here as i weep

I'm sulking to myself in the rain
sipping on the drops that fall from the brow of my hat
i just can't  help but to wonder how it all came to this

So here i am again
sitting here looking in
hoping for a little glimpse you see
for something to keep me holding on

Somehow i just can't let it go
i keep seeing your smiling face
it's all wrapped up in my dreams
this window that covets so
is the only place that i go
hoping for a chance to repeat it all

Waiting

Time has been so unfair
all these years without you here
beside me
they have been so unfair
not allowing me to watch you grow

This wasn't what I dreamed
how it would be for you and me
I planned to hold you and love you
is what I mean
be there for you each and every day

But that's not what happened
this life got all turned upside down
forced to live without you
for what seems now like an eternity
and my heart bleeds for you
knowing that you have suffered so

It's so hard
to hear that you call another dad
all these years being lied to
even threatened
by the ones that say they love you
they have brainwashed you
to think I'm the bad one
even though they all know
what they do is wrong

There a deep crevasse in my life
that's unfolded just for you
my sadness lying waiting there for you some day
probably when I'm way to old
thinking about all the time that we never got to bond
hoping one day you would reach out to me
but it never seems to be in the cards
what does this life hold
what's in store for us

Well now
I'm not living with any regrets about you
I just want you to know
I love you with all my heart
I always have
it's just a shame you'll never get to know
what they don't want you to know

For their world will crumble down
bare to the bone
if you get to know the man i am
how can they justify themselves
in your newly opened eyes

And what will you do
what will you see
always right in front of you
what will you believe
they have spent all their lies
just to keep the truth
away from you
but you were denied by them
how can you trust them now

Look at all this this love
this love I have been holding
it's always been here waiting for you

Waiting...waiting
waiting just for you
my daughter dear

Waiting...waiting..waiting

Just here waiting
waiting for you
just to hear your voice

Waiting...waiting..waiting
it's just been way too long

Waiting...waiting..waiting

I Cant Be Held Responsible

One more time for tomorrow
Baby this may be our last time
for you see I have to leave

Ya I'm truly sorry for the trouble

Well I cant be held responsible
Honey it takes two to tangle
and you ain't been here with me

My friends tell me all time
you ain't good enough for me
they've seen you messing around

I've been so blind I didn't want to believe

I should of known
by the way you dance with me Baby
you've got way too much experience
doing the bump and grind
in your mind now Honey
there ain't no one who has a clue

So why did you lead me on
when you knew there was nothing left to steal
why did you play me for the fool now Honey
you clearly were just toying with my heart

What was your master plan
when you were found out
how were you gonna get away
when all the exits were blocked

Don't stop what you're doing
it might be all that's left
so don't cry to me now
I see you for what your are

Its so incredible
how you play this game
like we'll never figure it out
the road that you're on
is destined to come to a stop

One more time for tomorrow
this may be our last time

Well I cant be held responsible

Honey it takes two to tangle
and you ain't been here with me

In your mind Baby
there ain't no one who has a clue

Well I cant be held responsible

I've been so blind
I didn't want to believe

My friends tell me all time
you ain't good enough for me

They've seen you messing around
ya seen you messing around

It's so incredible
how you play this game
like we'll never figure it out

Don't stop what you're doing
now Baby
it might be all that's left for us

So don't you cry to me now
I see you for what your are

Oh I cant be held responsible

I see you for what your are
I see you for what your are

Happy Holiday

What this day means to me
isn't what you would think it would be
I lived this life with so much sorrow
living in the time I have as the hour passes by
not looking ever looking towards tomorrow

Well I've been kicked when I was already down
but that seems like its not quite ever enough
all my dreams stripped from me in my youth
for standing tall and telling the truth
I can scream but no one wants to listen to my side
they all would rather believe in lies

So I have learned to keep to myself
my poor heart hasn't felt love in too many years
oh to feel the simple thing like a hug
but I was cast away by the system thugs
torn down to nothing in the name of God

They all want to make me their prey
seems that there's more justification for their jobs
too blind or full in disconcert
they're living on a tax payers silver spoon
so they don't really care
only bothered by my replies

my plea is never heard
their ears shut closed don't you see
I don't know if i can be any lesser of a man
not much choice as they crush me as far as they can go
they only want one thing from me
but it's them who's hurt me so

They don't want the possibility
that I cant get myself free
they fear it they may lose their job security
so they pass laws illegally from all to see
all to keep me down in poverty
then sit back and reign in sovereignty

There no chance to see my children
there were stripped from my arms early on
all in the name of justice
while they drained my bank accounts
then they have the nerve to say to me
I cant afford to be their dad

They take away the only way
to keep my head above the grade
suspend my driving license to teach me my place
then say I have to get a job
when they took the last one away
they label me and treat me like sub-human
all the while calling me a dead-beat dad
using me and my like just to get the public appeal
meanwhile hiding all the wrong they impale

Its been so long since I've sen my child
allowed to be brainwashed by the custodial
there no hope they will ever remember me
all in cahoots with the District attorney
their master plan to drive me into poverty
and call me..... dead beat dad !

Now Love

There comes a time
when the cold feels like the warm
what you know gets turned upside down
when the wind seems like sand
then it all gets turned around

Just when you thought you knew
it's not time to give up yet
don't let go just hold on
my heart just cant go on
without you

A dream within a dream
what does it all mean
where do we go
now love

This life must go on
how can we understand
how do we live on
now love

What will you do
when the darkness follows you
where will you find the light
to show you the way

Two hearts
all tangled and torn
weathered through and through
they're trudging on
now love

Casting their forms in the snow
hear the angels weeping
all too busy to know
some one has to feel for them

So cold on their own
no fire to warm their soul
they just live their lives
day by day
now love

One day
hoping to hear the call
looking for love
a way to leave the darkness
running for the light
when it appears
now love

Jumping in again
this time will it be the one
a new beginning for them
will they find love
now

Will they find love
can they find love
will they find love
now

Sneaky Snake’s Looking for You

You're a spoiled snake,

That lays in wait.

And I’m just a game that you play.

While you stake out new prey,

Oh why do I stay with you?

This old heart of mine

Well it can stand the test of time.

But it can be broken.

This you know and understand.

You toy with me like Satan’s spawn,

Darkness falls when you're around.

How can you say you love me?

With that forked tongue.

I can’t even look you in the eye,

Knowing you been messing around.

My heart and soul buried deep

In your plans I know.

I'm looking for a way out.

Can’t get a grip slipping south.

Your wicked ways get what they want.

This whole world is your playground.

But I’m not gonna just lay down,

I’m working on a plan.

Gotta get up off the floor,

Gotta look for that hidden door.

And you know when I do,

It will be my time,

To get rid of you.

Oh you know how to hypnotize,

To make me your fool.

How to get me to do

What you want me to.

Oh I’m lost and I can’t be found,

Especially when you're around.

Oh help me if you would please,

I’m trapped down here underneath.

Can't you hear my call?

Can’t you be my savior?

I’m banging walls.

Desperation is attacking me now.

Can't breathe she's choking me.

I'm ready now, just show me the light.

The finally battle I know its right.

Before my eyes,

Freedom’s just a step away.

Gonna leave you darling,

I’m slipping away.

Beyond your grasp the feeling's so pure,

The war is won now,

You dirty whore.

Transcending materialism,

There’s no more deep despair.

My nights are cold but my heart is finally warm.

My soul is feeling safe from harm.

No more sneaky snakes,

No more false hope,

No more of your evil ways,

No way to get spellbound

From your devilish charms.

Well I’m free, free at last,

Free from every listening to your trash talk.

I'm on that last road walking solo

Looking for paradise.
