WHATCHA GONNA DO TO ME
Maybe it could've worked some other way tonight
And maybe we could've pushed until it felt alright
Can't you see I'm looking for another way out
That I don't think I'll ever find
Can't you see there'll never be a shadow of doubt
Can't you see
Baby, baby what you gonna do to me
There isn't any help in sight
Baby, baby what you gonna do to me
I need you to do it tonight
Something is missing but to look I need to stay
Believe me, I'll never feel the things you never say
Can't you see it's just no fun anymore
Can't you tell by the beat of my heart
Can't you see what I am by the look in my eyes
Can't you see
Baby, baby what you gonna do to me
You know I'm not treating you right
Baby, baby what you gonna do to me
Please can't you do it tonight
Can't you see in the end I'm not what you want
And I don't think I'll ever be
Can't you see I'm only gonna hurt you again
Can't you see
Baby, baby what you gonna do to me
You know I'm not treating you right
Baby, baby what you gonna do to me
Please can't you do it tonight

SORRY
I got away from everything I used to like to try
I'm losing track of everybody and I wonder why
I got a feeling all the fingers I can point are at you
You had a sparkle in your eye that could electrify
A life in hell is still a life that can be simplified
I can remember thast I once had a life without you
Sorry, I did'nt get away
Sorry, I wasn't that afraid
Sorry, sorry
Wish I understood but I didn't know enough to try
It wasn't that I didn't think I was a lucky guy
Didn't think a girl like you was easy coming by
I wish to God I was all that was easy for you
Sorry, I looked the other way
Sorry, thought I had it made
Sorry, sorry
Wish I understood but I didn't care enough to try
You got me caught in a web and I don't know why
You got me staring in a mouth that's open wide
Can't get far enough away to identify you
Sorry, I didn't get away
Sorryshould've been afraid
Sorry, sorry
Gotta get away but I feel too good to try

GUARANTEE
I sent you a letter
Said what it is you mean to me
And if you want to wait a long long time
I can't give you any guarantee
It made me feel better
But that is how I chose to be
I think I wanna give you all I have
But I can't give you any guarantees
Guarantee
I can't be something
If nothing's what I want to be
And if you want to make me what I'm not
I can't give you any guarantees
I've tried to be someone
To make you want to be with me
But if you think you know just what I am
I can't give you any guarantee
Guarantee

BEAR DOWN
Black tie, white coat, very continental
It's a whole other world tonight
I'm all dressed up but I can't get loose
I gotta bear down to make it alright
I'm in a cheap hotel in a cheap location
I'm a small town boy with a strange occupation
But the best is when I choose to bear down
Learn a couple dance steps, light cigarettes
And you'll never be lonely at night
You gotta work your way up and you can't ever stop
Just as long as you're not feeling tight
I don't need to be smart to make the right conversation
I just show a little heart and understand titilation
And the best is when i choose to bear down
Bear down, bear down, bear down everybody
Bear down, bear down, bear down everybody
I gotta go with the ups and the downs of the business
Gotta hope that they're always gonna hold my interest
Then all I have to do is bear down
Bear down, bear down, bear down everybody
Bear down, bear down, bear down everybody

ALRIGHT WITH ME
I'll admit to the words but I won't admit to letting it die
Say what I want but I won't admit to telling a lie
I can't just wait to see
What you done and what you're doing to me
Never been alright with you you see
But it's alright with me
If I see it and I want it it won't work and so I leave it alone
Guess a little, give a little 'til your head is overgrown
Some say you'd be easy for me
But I won't hold my breath you see
Can't help it if it's not alright with you
'cause it's alright with me
So I give it all back when I find that it's never enough
Get away with it all when you know that you gotta be tough
You've always meant the world to me
But I can only find trouble you see
I want to make it all alright with you
'Cause it's alright with me

SOMEONE WITHOUT YOU
I could be someone without you
I could be making my way through
I could be going somewhere, instead of being nowhere
I could be someone without you
'Cause when I see your coal black eyes they
Burn me head to toe
I know that where I'm gonna be is
Where I shouldn't go
I could be someone without you
I could be doing something new
I could be seeing someone intead of needing someone
I could be someone without you
'Cause when I see you look at me a
Chill runs down my spine
I know just what you're looking for but there's
Nothing left that's mine
I hear you when you talk to me I
Feel you drag me down
The only way that I survive I
Dream you're not around
I could be someone without you

COME CLOSE TO ME
I've found a way, if you wanna hear, listen
Come close to me, come close to me
It's not the end, it's a secret admission
Come close to me, come close to me
We can walk around all the stones that we've thrown
And then we can run
Nothing in the way just as long as you say
It won't come undone
We gotta try because nothing else matters
Come close to me, come close to me
I've gone away and I've seen how life tatters
Come close to me, come close to me
If there's anymore lessons to be learned
Then I'll learn them from you
I've seen all I want of the way the world works
Now I'm with you
So if you care, if you see any reason
Come close to me, come close to me
I'll try to make every minute seem special
Come close to me, come close to me
I only see when I look through your eyes
Come close to me, come close to me
I only feel when it's you that I'm touching
Come close to me, come close to me

NOTHING YOU CAN DO
You aren't afraid to spend a long long time
You aren't afraid to go home
I know fever instead of cooling down at night
I know nothing that you can do
You see them and love them 'til the end of time
I'd love to expect it of you
Now I've seen the believers run away in fright
And there's nothing that I can do
You leave us to twist until our blood runs cold
You make us afraid to come home
All cry and wish there was something to compare to you
All cry, nothing that you can do

HOW LONG CAN IT RAIN
How long can it rain
How much can we go through
How long can it rain
How far can we run
When there's no place to run to
No calm in the storm
How long can it rain
Something's lost its hold over me
Shelter is gone, won't be long
Let it rain
How long will it pour
Now we witness the meltdown
No breaks in the clouds
And it rains
How long can it rain
Something's got a hold over me
Making me numb, feelings all gone
Let it rain
How long can it rain
With no place to run to
How long can it rain

PROMISE
Love I need to see you, love I need to touch you
Love, without you I feel wrong
Girl I just remember when we were together
How could you have been so strong
I see so many people and think they must be you
But it's always no... it's always no
Friend I need to see you, girl, need to hear your voice
Won't get in your way
I promise not to fall in love, not to ask you why,
Not to hope and pray
I know it's not so easy, but you must understand
I'm no threat to you...I won't hurt you
I don't intend to hold you, just look into your eyes
Let them say so... let them say no
Love i need to see you, love I need to touch you

WATCH HER GO
Well I don't know if I can take it but I know I gotta try
It isn't easy to recover when you gotta say goodbye
And watch her go
Yeah, watch her go
Just a little bit of trouble now I gotta gotta gotta
Watch her go
It means the end of Jesus Christ it means the end of sipping tea
It means the end of hearing more of her bent philosophy
I watch her go
Yeah, watch her go
One sticky situation now I gotta gotta gotta
Watch her go
I haven't been mislead I haven't wasted any time
I hope that she's somebody's 'cause I know she isn't mine
I guess she got fed up with my useless points of view
Now she thinks she's got the world
But the world has got her, too
Well I know it wasn't chummy, but it wasn't all that bed
Now I'm sitting here thinking and feeling kinda sad
To watch her go
Yeah, watch her go
It might've been the wrong decision, but I gotta gotta gotta
Watch her go
