All my life I've never felt such shame
But now I know all about your cheating game
All my friends told me that you'd be untrue
Goodbye little girl, cuz now I'm sick of you
so girl, you'd better realize that I won't come back to you
You kept sayin' that you'd be true to me
But now little girl, I'm gonna have to set you free
I'm not the kind of guy to break girls' hearts
But I knew that I should have left you from the start
So girl, you'd better realize, I won't come back to you
Little girl, I'll tell you how it's gonna be
I don't want your love, and I don't need your sympathy
I don't want you girl, I don't need you anymore
You're not the kind of girl I'm looking for
So girl, you'd better realize, I won't come back to you

I always flirt with death
I look ill but I don't care about it
I can face your threats
And stand up straight and tall and shout about it
I think I'm on another world with you
With you
I'm on another planet with you
With you
You get under my skin
I don't find it irritating
You always play to win
But I won't need rehabilitating
I think I'm on another world with you
With you
I'm on another planet with you
With you
Another girl, another planet
Another girl, another planet
Space travel's in my blood
There ain't nothing I can do about it
Long journeys wear me out
But I know I can't live without it
I think I'm on another world with you
With you
I'm on another planet with you
With you
Another girl is loving you now
Another planet is holding you down
Another planet

I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
First time that I saw you, girl, I knew that I just had to make you mine
But it's so hard to talk to you with fellas hangin' round you all the time
I want you for my sweet pet
But you keep playin' hard to get
Goin' around in circles all the time
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
I finally got to talk to you and I told you just exactly how I felt
Then I held you close to me and kissed you and my heart began to melt
Girl, you've got control of me
'Cause I'm so dizzy I can't see
I need to call a doctor for some help
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
My head is spinnin'
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, makin' it spin
You're makin' me dizzy
Oh, I'm so dizzy
You're makin' me dizzy
Yeah, I'm so dizzy

I want to be so cool
I want to be the best
I'll pick you up around 3 o'clock
and explain the rest
Up the hill to the left
straight to hell we go
you're the one, you're the only one
if I do say so
Oh Veronica, you're the one
Oh Veronica, nothing but fun
Oh Veronica, believe me when I say
Veronica
I want to see you every day
Every day for a week
I'm not above quittin' my job
Is that the way you feel it should be?
Is that the way you feel it for me?
Oh Veronica, you're the one
Oh Veronica, nothing but fun
Oh Veronica, believe me when I say
I need you now more each and every day
Is that the way you feel it should be?
Is that the way you feel it for me?
Oh Veronica, you're the one
Oh Veronica, nothing but fun
Oh Veronica, believe me when I say
I need you now more each and every day

When I first met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news
You've been awful, careful 'bout the friends you choose
But, you won't have my name in your book of who's who
I'm..Not your steppin' stone (4x)
You're trying to make your mark in society
You're using all the tricks that you used on me
You're reading all them high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin', girl, are causing public scenes
I'm .....Not your steppin' stone
Oh, I'm not your steppin' stone, no, not me

Yeah, It makes perfect sense
Seeing how the seeds were sown
To find you out there on your own
You said your goodbyes
And broke all the ties
It struck me dumb to think I tried for you
Tonight you can feel the season changing
You'll never change
Well, you're no better than the weather
Your cool
But there's rain in your heart
You blown like a feather
And that's the oldest story in the world
You lost the key to paradise
That's the oldest story in the world
Did we have it made?
Somehow I thought we could remain
If nothing lasts, no one's to blame
And you can't look back
To where you got off the track
That's a mystery that we'll never crack
It's just the oldest story in the world
Lost the key to paradise
That's the oldest story in the world
Today we gotta set it right
And that's the oldest story in the world
You'll hear it again and again
That's the oldest story in the world yeah
Somehow I thought we could remain
If nothing lasts, no one's to blame
And you can't look back
To where you got off the track
That's a mystery that we'll never crack
And that's the oldest story in the world
Lost your key to paradise
That's the oldest story in the world
Someday we gotta set it right
That's the oldest story in the world
Just like a rolling stone
That's the oldest story
That's the oldest story
Now you can't go home
That's the oldest story in the world yeah
But I don't want to leave
But it's time to go
Well, well, I just don't know
And that's the oldest story in the world

Here she comes, you better watch your step
She's going to break your heart in two, it's true
It's not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She builds you up to just put you down, what a clown
'Cause everybody knows
(She's a femme fatale)
The things she does to please
(She's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease
(She's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks
You're put down in her book
You're number 37, have a look
She's going to smile to make you frown, what a clown
Little boy, she's from the street
Before you start, you're already beat
She's gonna play you for a fool, yes it's true
'Cause everybody knows
(She's a femme fatale)
The things she does to please
(She's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease
(She's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks Hear the way she talks
'Cause everybody knows

Don't ask me to move a mountain
Don't ask me to swim your sea
Don't think that I am a tower of strength
Don't lean too much on me
When looking to the future
Don't build your dreams too high
I beg you to remember
I'm just an ordinary guy
I aint no miracle worker
I do the best that I can
I aint no miracle worker
Oh Lord, I ain't no miracle man
And I don't have a fortune
You know I sweat for each dime I make
But I'm always living now just looking
To that get love you bring
Every day I keep on trying
To do my best for you
And every trying just ain't enough, baby
Well, tell me what would you have me do?
I aint no miracle worker
I do the best that I can
I aint no miracle worker
Oh Lord, I ain't no miracle man
Ask me to be tender
Ask me to be truth
Ask me for all the love I have
And girl, I'll give it all to you
But girl, I just can't offer
No storybook romance
Girl, that's what you're looking for, baby
I tell you, we just don't have a chance
I aint no miracle worker
I do the best that I can
I aint no miracle worker
Oh Lord, I ain't no miracle man

Last night your shadow fell upon my lonely room
I touched your golden hair and tasted your perfume
Your eyes were filled with love the way they used to be
Your gentle hand reached out to comfort me
Then came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone
I had too much to dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night
The room was empty as I staggered from my bed
I could not bear the image racing through my head
You were so real that I could feel your eagerness
And when you raised your lips for me to kiss
Came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone
I had too much to dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night
I had too much to dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night
Oh, too much to dream
Oh, too much to dream
Too much to dream last night
Oh, too much to dream

I will find a way
To get to you some day.
Oh, but I, babe, I'm so afraid I'll fall, yeah.
Now can't you hear me call?
Shake some action's what I need
To let me bust out at full speed.
I'm sure that's all you need
To make it all right.
It's taken me so long
To get where I belong
Oh, but, oh, please don't send me back that way, yeah.
For I will make you pay.
Shake some action's what I need
To let me bust out at full speed.
I'm sure that's all you need
To make it all right.
If you don't dig what I say
Then I will go away.
And I won't come back this way again. No.
'Cause I don't need a friend.
Shake some action's what I need
To let me bust out at full speed.
I'm sure that's all you need
To make it all right.

And I've treated 'em all the same
Broke their hearts and made 'em cry
But now I'm getting a taste of the same

I guess they're right, the table's turned
And now I'm getting a taste of the same
Yeah, a taste of the same

Don't want anyone to know my name

I'm a poor boy born in the rubble
And some say my manners ain't the best
And some of my friends, yeah, they've been in real trouble
And some say I'm no better than the rest
But tell your mama and your papa
Sometimes good guys don't wear white, yeah

But those rich kids and all that lazy money
Can't hold a candle to mine
So tell your mama and your papa
Sometimes good guys don't wear white
Good guys bad guys which is which
The white collar worker or the digger in the ditch
Hey, and who's to say who's the better man

How bad was his dirty mind

White pills and easy livin'
Can't replace the love I've given
So tell your mama and your papa
Sometimes good guys don't wear white

Trapped in a mine that had caved in
And everyone knows the only ones left
Were Joe and me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale
Were Joe and me
Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?
Hungry as hell no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, "I'll have a swig
And then there's some for you."
Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?
I must have blacked out just around then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around
To finding Timothy
Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?

Love has died now I can go
I could try but now I know
You've grown cold - it's in your face
Another man will take my place
I hope you're happy now (I know)
with your new love (your happy love)
But I know a few little things - that things will change
I could have shown you, but now you're on your own
You used to belong to me, now see where you have gone
You'll know better when I'm gone
You'll know better when I'm gone...anyway
You're playing around, the stakes are high
You think you'll find a better guy
You start to miss the one's who have tried
You find you're never satisfied
I could have told you, how hard it is to lose
One of the things you learn is someday you'll have to chose
You'll know better when I'm gone
You'll know better when I'm gone...anyway
This is gonna kill you if you keep playin' around
and you thinking it's a game
No one will answer when you're lying on the ground
and calling out my name
(solo over verse)
Love has died now I can go
I could try but now I know
You've grown cold - it's in your face
Another man will take my place
I hope you're happy now (I know)
with your new love (your happy love)
But I know a few little things - that things will change
I could have shown you, but now you're on your own
You used to belong to me, now see where you have gone
You'll know better when I'm gone
You'll know better when I'm gone
You'll know better when I'm gone
You'll know better when I'm gone
