Instant Replay

Don't listen to linda
She said all those things before
She's just a pretender,
And though you couldn't love her more
She'll lead you on, and then one day
She'll say you'll have to part
Don't listen to linda
She'll only break your heart.

Don't listen to linda
If you want some good advice,
Just try to remember,
She did it once, she'll do it twice
There's more to her little games,
Than your eyes can see,
Don't listen to linda,
Or you'll end up like me.

You'll never understand her
All the presents you could hand her,
Could never be enough, oh no,
So, don't underestimate her,

You and i have seen what time does, haven't we?
We both had time to grow
You know we've got more growing to do, me and you
And the rest of them too

You can see the changes we've been going through
Such a pity, what a shame
Who can we blame?
You and me, me and you, and the rest of them too

In a year or maybe two
We'll be gone and some one new will take our place
There'll be another song,
Another voice, another pretty face

You and i have seen what time does haven't we?
We've both had time to grow
You know we've got more growin' to do
Me and you, and the rest of them too

Shorty blackwell, shorty blackwell
Be friends with me, be friends with me
Shorty blackwell, shorty blackwell
Be friends with me, be friends with me

I'm feeling very bad today
Another cat came into stay
He's eating all my food
He's speaking very rude
He's gonna change the mood

I'm feeling very bad today
A red balloon got in my way
It followed me around
But never touched the ground
What can i say?

He built a house upon a hill
Ask him if he's happy and then give him a pill
He's going mad
He bought another car today
Ask him if he's happy, then turn the other way
He's going mad (repeat over and over)

I'm feeling very bad today
Another cat came into stay
He's eating all my food
He's speaking very rude
He's gonna change the mood

Black and shiny now you've finally
Gotten everything you've wanted
And you're taunted by the power
That you really don't want anymore

Everybody's talking faster
Hurry up get me a master
I don't have much time to lose
And besides i'm polishing my shoes

Crossing the street
Watching your feet
Or you'll die in a thunderbird light
Wishing with all of your might
That you read the newspaper that
You forgot to buy today
How will you know what they do when they say
Say(repeat over and over)

I'm feeling very bad today
Another girl came by to stay
I can't think of a word
To tell you what i've heard
I've been away (10 times)

I am my? (repeat continually as it fades)

They told me what you'd do
If i ever stayed with you.
They told me that you'd laugh
While i cried.

They told me what you'd say
That you'd turn and walk away
And find another place to play,
While i cried.

Now i think back on those times
I didn't read between the lines.
How all the things that you said
Never seemed to match the things you did.

Thoughts keep turning round in my mind
Now i see reason and rhyme.
Time spent with you has brought me something
And i've lost nothing if you are that kind.

They told me what you'd do
If i ever stayed with you
And sure enough,
It all came true.

About as low as i felt in a long time
And i know that i did a wrong at the wrong time
It's plain to see, she's down on me
And i know she'll feel that way for a long time

I was high on top but i didn't know it
Tell me, why did i have to go and blow it?
I used my lines too many times
And now i've got a badly hurt heart to show it

Took me too long to discover
How much i really love her
How'd i ever end up in this bind?
What a drag

There she goes looking for pretty clover
No one knows what it's like until it over
Without a doubt, i just found out
And i suppose i never did get to know her

Tear drop city, tear drop city

Took me to long to discover
How much i really love her
How'd i ever end up in this bind
What a drag

About as low as i felt in a long time...

Life is hard for me to touch now.
I just don't enjoy it as much now.
When she left, something inside of me died.
And i won't be the same without her,
No i won't be the same without her
By my side.

There's no end end to my sorrow.
I'm afraid to face tomorrow.
When she left, she took much more than my pride.
And i won't be the same without her,
No i won't be the same without her
By my side.

It isn't easy to forget her,
And the way it used to be.
She changed my life the day i met her.
And i won't be the same without her,
No i won't be the same without her
Close to me.

Repeat first verse.

You call my name then you run for protection
I reach out to hold ya' but it's just a reflection
Throught the looking glass

Now you've been looking at your life through a mirror
It's time you started seeing things a little bit clearer than
Through the looking glass

Watch me break through, girl
I still love you, girl


I think you love me by the way you come on girl
Then i turn away for a minute, you're gone girl
Through the looking glass

Ahh...

You're looking through me
Like you never knew me

I've got some things that i'm tryin' to show ya
But you fade away how can i get to know 'ya
Through the looking glass
