Puppet On A String

I USED TO BE YOUR FAVOURITE TOY
YOU PLAYED ME TIL THE BREAK OF DAWN
THEN YOU LEFT FOR ANOTHER FLING
I'M JUST A PUPPET ON A STRING
YOU USED TO STRIKE ALL THE RIGHT NOTES
AND THEN YOU LEFT AND SAID ADIOS
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT PAIN THE FUTURE WOULD BRING
NOW IM JUST A PUPPET ON A STRING
IF ONLY I COULD TURN BACK TIME
TO WHEN WE USED TO PLAY ALL NIGHT
YOUR SWEET KISSES GAVE ME WINGS
NOW IM JUST A PUPPET ON A STRING
YOU STOLE MY HEART NEVER RETURNED THE RING
IM JUST ANOTHER BROKEN OLD THING
YOU SWUNG ME AROUND TIL MY HEAD SPINS
I'M JUST A PUPPET ON A STRING

IF YOU EVER CHANGE YOUR MIND
REMEMBER SOMETHING YOU LEFT BEHIND
ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS DROP ME A LINE
IF YOU EVER CHANGE YOUR MIND
ILL CATCH THE NEXT PLANE
HITCH A RIDE OR JUMP A TRAIN
I'LL SNEAK ON AN OCEAN LINER
IF YOU EVER CHANGE YOUR MIND
IF YOU EVER CHANGE YOUR MIND...
ILL DROP EVERYTHING FOR YOU
THERE'S NOTHING THAT I WOULDN'T DO
I JUST WANT TO TREAT YOU KIND
IF YOU EVER CHANGE YOUR MIND

I PRETEND EVERYTHING IS FINE
I DON'T NEED NO VALENTINE
I GOT SHIVERS RUNNING DOWN MY SPINE
(CAUSE) I CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY MIND
I CAN'T HELP IT IF I TRIED
THE FEVER IS BURNING INSIDE
I GOT CAUGHT IN THIS TIDE
I CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY MIND
I TELL MYSELF I AIN'T NO FOOL
AND I PRETEND I KNOW TO PLAY IT COOL
I GUESS THATS WHY THEY SAY LOVE IS BLIND
I CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY MIND
NOW I'M FALLING FOR YOU
THERES NOTHING I CAN DO
I CAN'T HELP IT IF I TRY
I CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY MIND

I’M A LITTLE BLUE SO BEAR WITH ME AS I SING THIS SONG
I'LL BE FINE AGAIN BEFORE TOO LONG
IF I SAY SOMETHING THAT'S HURTING/TROUBLING YOU
IT'S JUST THAT IM FEELING A LITTLE BLUE
YOU KNOW I GET A LITTLE DOWN SOMETIMES
AND I DROWN MY SORROW IN TOO MUCH WEED AND WINE
IF I GO SO CRAZY TIL I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DO
IT'S JUST THAT IM FEELING A LITTLE BLUE
A LITTLE BLUE
A LITTLE BLUE
I'M JUST A LITTLE BLUE
I KNOW I'M JUST A DAMN OLD FOOL
FOR ALWAYS BEING DOWN AND FEELING BLUE
I TRY TO SEE THINGS FROM ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW
BUT I CAN'T HELP FEELING A LITTLE BLUE

Kiss Of Death
03:41
|
|||
|
SHE LAY WAITING IN THE GRASS
HE DIDN'T SEE HER AS HE CAME PAST
THE STRIKE CAME LIGHTNING FAST
NOW THE POISON RACES TO HIS HEART
NEVER FELT THIS KIND OF PAIN THE VENOM RUNNING THROUGH HIS VEINS
(HE KNOWS) HE'S GOOD AS DEAD HE RECEIVED THAT KISS OF DEATH
YOU PLAY WITH FIRE YOU GET HURT
YOU FLY IN THE FLAME YOU GET BURNED
LONGING FOR THAT KISS OF DEATH
UNTIL YOU'VE MADE YOUR LAST BREATH
HIS CHANCES ARE CLOSE TO NIL SHE'LL SUCK THE LIVE RIGHT OUT OF HIM
HE KNOWS HE'S GOOD AS DEAD SHE DELIVERED HER KISS OF DEATH

Don't Come Crying
03:36
|

|
DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU
YOU CAN'T UNDO WHAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH
IT'S TOO LATE TO TURN BACK TIME
BABY DON'T COME CRYIN'
I CAN FORGIVE BUT I CAN'T FORGET
THE THINGS YOU DID BEHIND MY BACK
ALL THE CHEATIN' AND THE LYING
SO BABY DON'T COME CRYIN'
DON'T COME A KNOCKING ON MY DOOR
YOU AIN'T WELCOME HER NO MORE
WHAT YOUR SELLING I AIN'T BUYING
SO DON'T COME CRYIN'
DON'T COME CRYIN DON'T COME LYING
IM TIRED OF WAITING SICK OF FIGHTING
DONT WASTE YOUR TIMETRYING
DON'T COME CRYING DON'T COME CRYING

That's Why I love You
03:52
|

YOUR JUST A DREAMER WITH YOUR HEAD IN THE CLOUD
ALWAYS WANDERING CAN'T SETTLE DOWN
AIN'T GOT A CLUE WHAT LIFE'S ALL ABOUT
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS YIUR STILL AROUND
YOU DONT WEAR NO MAKE UP TO HIDE LIFE'S SCARS
YOU EYES SHINE BRIGHTER THAN THE MORNING STAR
YOU DON'T WERA FANCY DRESSES TO EXPENSIVE RESTAURANTS
YOUR JUST BEAUTIFUL AS YOU ARE
THAT'S WHY I LOVE YOU
THAT'S WHY I LOVE YOU
THAT'S WHY I LOVE YOU
FOOLS LIKE US NEVER LEARN
CAN'T FIND OUR PLACE IN THIS WORLD
SORROW WAITS AT EVERY TURN
BUT WE STILL GOT TIME TO BURN

Big Old Train

|
BIG OLD TRAIN WON'T YOU TAKE ME HOME
I'M TIRED AND WEARY AND I CAN'T GO ON
MY HANDS ARE TREMBLING MY LEGS ARE WEAK
AIN'T GOT THE STRENGTH THAT IT TAKES TO SPEAK
THE FLAME OF LIFE IS BLOWING OUT
THE SUN HIDES BEHIND A CLOUD
BIG OLD TRAIN WON'T YOU TAKE ME HOME
THERE AINT NO TEAR LEFT TO CRY
I WANNA LAY ME DOWN AND DIE
THERE AIN'T NO TIME LEFT TO BURN
THERE AIN'T NO PLACE TO RETURN
BIG OLD TRAIN WON'T YOU TAKE ME HOME
EVERYTHING THAT I SAID AND DONE
WON'T MEAN A THING AFTER IM GONE
THE FLAME OF LIFE IS BLOWING OUT
THE SUN HIDES BEHIND A CLOUD
THERE AIN'T NO TIME LEFT TO BURN
THERE AIN'T NO PLACE TO RETURN
BIG OLD TRAIN WON'T YOU TAKE ME HOME
