I don't want to come off Sounding like a little boy But, girl, you had me and I don't know why All at once I'm cast aside just like a broken toy All the nights of loving you And believing that your love was true Chorus: Well you know that girl You got me where you want me now Ain't nothing I can do no how Won't make you mine Girl, you got me where you want me now Ain't nothing I can do no how Won't change your mind You showed a lot of feeling For me one time You had me believing like a fool That you were mine But now I know your words and love were just a lie You were laughing, babe, all the time Girl, you got me where you want me now Ain't nothing I can do no how Won't make you mine Now I wake up crying, calling you Tears that burn But no matter how I cry I know you'll never return Repeat Chorus

I know what you feel for me Is it all that it should be And I know that someday you'll turn and walk away And I'll try to change your mind? Any way that I can find I've been loving you much too long To care what's right or wrong Tomorrow without love It's so hard to believe Without your love, what's left of me? Without you, girl, where will I be? Heaven knows the tears I cry Till the day, till the day you'll realize Just as sure as the sky above I can't live tomorrow without love Tomorrow without love It's so hard to be real Without your love, what's left of me? Without you, girl, where will I be? Tomorrow without love Where will I be without you, girl? Tomorrow without love Where will I be without you, girl? Tomorrow, tomorrow

Paper Chase 02:24
You can't erase the Paper Chase She'll make you play it In the bright merry morning She'll run and hide And leave you the paper promises Behind her as she runs across the square You can't win the race, She'll set the pace You will hear her laughing Just behind the foolish fences Throw back the gate and find the Piece of paper lying on the curbstone, But the lady won't be there. Later in the day, you'll be searching for a way To let her know you're ready For her little game to end 'cause it's getting dark And then you'll see her face, a glimpse of lace And you'll go running through the last sweet dying daydream Calling her name, but she's been home an hour, Laughing at the mirror as she combs her paper hair.

Just A Man 03:30
I know you wish that I could be, More than any other man you've ever known, The way you look at me sometimes makes me feel, What I'm really worth, I've never shown. But I think there's so much more to life than simply winning things, So you can stand a step above your friends, 'Cause all the things a hundred dollars of work a week might buy, Will only whet your appetite, not satisfy you. And I'm just a man, born of a woman like you, I'm just a man who can't be blind to the things I find in this world. So let me try to find a way that I can be, Worth the time and space I fill, Though I lose the common race while chasing dreams, I need to have you, standing by me still. For I'm just a man, born of a woman like you, I'm just a man who needs your love, And to know that you're proud of the kind of man I am inside me. I'm just a man who needs your love, And to know that you're proud of the kind of man I am inside me. 'Cause all I am is a man, born of a woman like you. All I am is a man, born of a woman like you. (repeat to fade).

about

I don't want to come off
Sounding like a little boy
But, girl, you had me and I don't know why
All at once I'm cast aside just like a broken toy
All the nights of loving you
And believing that your love was true

Chorus:
Well you know that girl
You got me where you want me now
Ain't nothing I can do no how
Won't make you mine
Girl, you got me where you want me now
Ain't nothing I can do no how
Won't change your mind

You showed a lot of feeling
For me one time
You had me believing like a fool
That you were mine
But now I know your words and love were just a lie
You were laughing, babe, all the time

Girl, you got me where you want me now
Ain't nothing I can do no how
Won't make you mine

Now I wake up crying, calling you
Tears that burn
But no matter how I cry
I know you'll never return

Repeat Chorus
