I know a girl who's lost and lonely
Sits by the phone on her own
But the phone don't ring
And the birds don't sing in her tree
She lost herself in a haze of pity
And doesn't know where to run
Needs a headshrinker now
And I think it's time we had some fun

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want
I'm free to say whatever I
Whatever I like
If it's wrong or right it's all right

I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married
And then we'd be happy

Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's all right for fighting
Get a little action in

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week

I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time ...
In my mind my dreams are real
Now you're concerned about the way I feel
Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star

I went down to the bank just to get me my pay ...
I got me some cash, I'm headed back to L.A. ...
I'm sackin' the man, 'cause the man's a thief
I'm kicking the plan before the plan kicks me

I'm getting put down
I'm getting pushed 'round
I'm being beaten every day
My life's fading
But things are changing
I'm not gonna sit and weep again

I just want someone to say to me
"I'll always be there when you wake"
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made

You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you ...

People try to put us down ...
Just because we get around ...
Things they do look awful cold ...
I hope I die before I get old

You took advantage of my trust in you...
... Now you've got the nerve to say
That you still want me
Well, that's as may be
But you gotta stand trial
Because all the while
I can see for miles and miles

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven

And it's been awhile
Since we dropped our guard and cracked a smile
Don't you think it's overdue? ...
Truly, truly, truly I want you

The Can Can's such a pretty show
They'll steal your heart away
But backstage, back on earth again
The dressing rooms are gray

They come on strong and it ain't too long
Before they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again

She holds the hand that holds her down
She will ... rise above
Don't call me daughter, not fit to

Open your eyes
Let it begin with me
Brand new day
Fresh new way to live
The mornin' is callin'
Walk with me into the sun

A menace to a microphone, a lethal weapon
An assassinator, if the people ain't stepping
You see a part of me that you never seen
When I'm fiending for a microphone

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat

New York snow this time of year
There's nothing more beautiful to me
Except for you

This new rhythm I pursue
Is just my getting over you
Telling myself that I need to
The days are better, the nights are still so lonely
Sometimes I think I’m the only cab on the road

I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh

Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly, "Girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand
"Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on"

Little darling, it's been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends

Things you said that day
Up on the 101
The girl had come undone
I tried to downplay it
With a bet about us
You said that you'd take it
As long as I could
I could not erase it

I could just pretend that you love me
The night would lose all sense of fear
But why do I need you to love me
When you can't hold what I hold dear
