From the Heart

Lonely

There is no way of life I've known,
Except to be alone-
There is noone to understand--
Noone to hold my hand.
To tell me, "Hey, baby, it's alright"
To help me through my lonely night.

It's hard to remember someone close
People who you've loved the most-
When your lonliness gets the best of you
And you cry out in pain-
If you can't feel compassion, you'll go insane.
But it's alright, it's okay
I'll find someone to love someday

I'll rely on my family and friends
If they're not perfect, I'll tolerate them
Even though at times, I really hate them
Don't appreciate them
Well, I can reach out to them for company
Or I can remain alone, craying,
"This can't be me", oh no.

From the Heart

So you've got to play their little game-
You've got to sing along
You've got to beat his prison,
So you'll join him in his song
But your eyes they brim with perfect tears,
As he shuts you up at will
Until you're feeling so screwed up,
He makes you take his pill.

Refrain:
But you can't do anything you don't wanna do
You won't really feel it if it aint right for you
Darlin', don't do nothin' 'cuz you're acting out
a part
You aint doing nothing, if it aint from the heart.

You haven't got no confidence,
You haven't got a friend.
Your relatives, they try to love you, but
still you will defend.
You'll hang around until you're found,
You've made a few mistakes.
You'll primp and preen until you're seen
You're nothin' but a fake.

refrain:

And now you're seeking stardom, fame and
fortune,
Power and wealth.
You know you can't love noone if you do not
Love yourself-
But tell me, babe, what happened?
Did you finally get your day?
If he's doin' what he feels,
He'll get up and walk away.

refrain:

How many times must I go 'round the circle?
He said, "I told you, I can't take this nomore"
I know someone supposes they really think
they know
What's best...in the treatment sense.
Now, I know, know, I know,
In fornt of those peas in their pods,
They make you get it off your chest!
But I can be so sweet instead of screaming in the streets
streets
Yes, I can, Yes I can!
Now I'm gonna find the cutest pal I ever seen!
He's gonna be around me all the time-
And he will see everything I am
And I do get mean and he says,
"Don't do that, man! Never do this, ma'am!"
Now I'm gonna put that old Treatment Plan-
In the backseat of his '72 van-
And even though, I do love my dad,
Let's go, old Glory Days, Let's go!
A forgotten dream, but it never came true!
And you don't get sick of me
And I don't get sick of you!
And you'll always, always be my best friend
And we'll see the Pacific Ocean,
And we'll feel peaceful emotions, oh yeah
And we'll camp out under the stars at night
Until the sunrise,
And our bodies will be warm on the sandy beach
And hey, sanna, ho, sanna, sanna sanna hey!
We'll be free, we'll be free.
Thank G-d almighty, I'm free at last.
And I know, I know, Iknow-
Someday that everyone willunderstand,
And my best friend will hold my hand
And after all is said and done,
And we're lying in the sun,
He still can, he still can.

Be Happy

You're always running around without a reason
It's the same, from season to season
Let the thread of integrity keep you above-
Beyond that highriser is nothing but luv-

Refrain: Why don't you try to let out a smile?
Make a happy sound out loud,
There are so many beautiful things
In this life-
Be happy, be happy....

so wait for your prince, your knight in his armour
sit there and wait, sit and wait for tomorrow-
How can you waste it-You're living today-
What kind of game does your headkeeper play?

Refrain:

Oh my G-d! You're alive! Now, I don't feel sorry
The weaker the link,
The more fragile the chain-
I know people who would give a small fortune,
for precious indulgence and rights to your pain...

Refrain:

A Thin Line

Daddy, stop me from making a fool of myself
Daddy, stop me from doing the wrong thing
Daddy, you got the way,
Ido not care what they say
Daddy, you are my song,
I'm gonna stop today

Refrain:
He's got a mean streak and he dance so fine
And he seems clean, but it's a thin line-
He's got a mean streak and he dance so fine
And he seems clean, but it's a thin line.

Now, mama, she saw me in an awful way
But she couldn't saveme from ruin.
But Daddy, he saw me through my darker days,
And we laughed when we saw who I was fooling

Refrain:

Now, daddy is generous, but he aint rich
And he treats me to a meal when he pleases
And I take a little money when I get the itch
But I swear one time, I heard him holler
"Jesus!"

Refrain:
