Once upon a time, somewhere in the back of my mind
I fell in love with you
But then, everything went wrong, i couldn't even write a song
There was nothing to look forward to

I don't go out very much, i'm always home on my own
Baby i was just too blind to see
I wasn't to conquer the world but the world had a mind of its own
Maybe i tried a little too hard
Maybe i pushed you away too far

Gotta room in your heart for a lonely heart
Gotta room in your heart for two
It might be nice-living in a heart with you

So sing and all the world will shine, somewhere in this nursery rhyme
A happy ending lies-for all the lovers with the lonely eyes
Easy come-easy go-this is just to let you know
Baby i apologize

How could i turn away love, how could i turn into stone
How could i turn my back on you
I wanted to be a success but success ever leaves you alone
Maybe i tried a little too hard
Maybe i pushed you way too far

(ian hunter)

One more town on the merry-go-round
One more room with no view
One more punk eatin' nothing but junk
Trin' to make a phone call to you
Well maybe i'll never, get myself together
But something's in the back of my mid
It only takes one call-you can laugh at 'em all
You're never too small to hit the big time

One more slob feeling sick as a dog
After one more night on the booze
One more dive more dead that alive
Tryin' to get my message through
Now, maybe i'll never get my self together
Maybe its the end of the line
But i'm having a ball-bouncin' off the walls
You're never too small to hit the big time

You're never too small, you're never too small
You're never to small to hit the big time
They can make you crawl, they can make you fall
But you're never to small to hit the big time
You're never too small, you're never to small
You're never too small to hit the big time
If you're fat, if you're bald it don't matter at all
'cos you're never to small-i said you're never to small

To hit the big time (yes indeed)
(the big time(- limousines)
(the big time)-you can have it all
(the big time)- i say you're never too small

One more crowd shoutin'-turn it up loud
One more rose at my feet
One more ring from that cute little thing
One more reason to cheat
Well, maybe i'll never get myself together
Maybe its the end of the line...

I believe in magic
Ain't it kinda tragic
When you find out
Angels can be devils
You were never on the level with me babe, at all

Pain, pain, pain !
I got this pain
Sittin' on the midnight train

Beggars can be choosers
Winners can be losers
I'll get over you somehow
It's gonna take a little time
To put you to the back of my mind, forever

Pain, shootin' down the length o' my brain
I got this pain
Nothin' is the same
When love is a victim
Love is a victim of pain

Ain't no doubt about it babe
Love is a victim of pain i'm lonely
And i don't know what to do about you babe
'cos loneliness is such a drag

(ian hunter)

Through the haze the mirror cries-hits you right between the eyes
You don't know-but you got the judas in you babe
You can't trust
You can't deliver
Always whinin' you were sold down the river
I gave you-the best years of-your miserable life

Where did you go wrong girl, where did you go wrong
Where did you go wrong babe-nice try, wrong guy
You're gonna wind up on your ass-you should have listened to your
Women's intuition

You can come (run)-but you can't hide-something messed you up inside
Ain't my fault-don't blame me-if you're dazed and confused
You're a lie, you're a television, tryin't drag into your prison
Had enough o'sleepin' rough-its over with you

Where did you go wrong babe
Where did you go wrong
Where did you go wrong girl
Nice try
Goodbye
You're gonna wind up on your ass-you should;ve listened to your
Women's intuition

Tarred by the same old feathers-guess we got to stick together
But i say to you-don't ever invade-my destiny
Bad enough i ain't normal, give up tryin't make me formal
What i need when i bleed
Don't mean nothing to you

Where did you go wrong babe, where did you go wrong
Where did you go wrong girl
Dumb moves, no class
You're gonna wind up on your ass-you should 've listened to your
Women'sintuition

I was your baby-you were my girl
When i asked you to marry me- the tears fell

Sons n' lovers, sons n' lovers, waving
My childhood goodbye-it seems so sad
Well how long have you been my best friend
This won't be the end of
Sons n' lovers-sons n' lovers--she won't wanna talk anymore about it

You were my lady- i was your number one
When i said i was leaving- tears run

Sons n' lovers-sons n' lovers, breakin'
Tryin' not to hurt each others hearts
Well how long can we exist- i know
We can't go on like this
Sons n' lovers-son's and lovers--i don't wanna lie anymore

Was that you i saw--walkin' out along the shore
Was that you i saw-talkin' to him
Was that you i saw-puttin' his hands in yours
Thats alright ma- you can still love him
Thats alright ma- you can still love
And through the years-you know- we will remember
Time will never take old times away
How long for you to discover that- there still some strings attached to
Sons n' lovers-sons and lovers
But i don't wanna play anymore
Sons n' lovers

Some folk leave courage,
Some folk leave you hope
Why am i out here hangin'
Like a fool at the end o' my rope
Some folk leave you wisdom,
Some folk leave you signs
You can never be sure
What went on before
Life is just a matter of time

Picture of you,
Clouding my view
I'm following in your footsteps,
Tryin' to make some sense of it all
Maybe it's a sign of weakness,
But that's where my footsteps fall
I'm following in your footsteps,
Tryin' to hang on to your dreams
You never got what you wanted
So i never got what i need
I'm following in your footsteps,
'cos that's where the footsteps lead

Someone must have given me anger,
Someone must have given me hate
Or why would i stand here shakin',
When there's so many chances to take

Pictures of you,
Climb into view
I'm following in your footsteps,
Tryin' to make some sense of it all
Maybe it's a sign of weakness,
But that's where my footsteps fall

I'm following in your footsteps,
Watchin' my children grow
They're following in my footsteps
Takin' it on the road
We're following in your footsteps
'cos that's where the footsteps go
We're following in your footsteps, yeah
'cos that's where your footsteps go

You're breakin' my heart
Stealing my thunder
How much more can i take
You're draggin' me down
Holding me under
How much more can i take

How much more can i take
Won't somebody break
The news to you gently.
You fill my eyes
But you don't fill the hunger
How much more can i take

I see your face
Everywhere, everyplace
How much more can i take
You're here in the night
You're here in the morning sunlight
How much more can i take

How much more can i take
I (wish that i could) make your mind up (for you).
You fill my eyes
But you don't fill the hunger
How much more can i take

How much more can i take
Won't somebody help me
I'm naked as the day i was born
These clothes have a way
Of changin' what i'm feelin'
I try and i try but i can't put 'em on

I sit here alone
Wait by the telephone line
How much more can i take
I'm jealous as hell
Mixed up 'n mean as well
How much more can i take

How much more can i take
I know she'd like to break
Those stones over my body.
You fill my eyes
But you don't fill the hunger
How much more can i take
