Sometimes I feel like I am a boxer
Seems like I'm always standing in the ring
And then I find someone's been in my locker
He left me a note that says I can't sing
I'll do anything but break dance for you, darlin'
I just stepped out of the doniker
I don't know what happened and I can't remember
But I was soon to discover
That my radio had been broken
I'll do anything but break dance for ya, darlin'
Don't you know that I love you, love you
Don't you know that I love you, love you
Hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm
All the folks on dope in search of hope
Everybody and the lonely orphan
And everyone around the world
Every boy and every girl
For all the good times
Always remember and never forget
In my secret heart
I'll do anything but break dance for ya, darlin'
Don't you know that I love you, love you
Don't you know that I love you, love you

Bye Bye Barbie

Bye, Bye, Barbie
Barbie, Bye, Bye
A knock in the skull sure changes a man
I'm having a hard time
It's been a long time
Since I tried to lay down a song
Bye, Bye, Barbie
Barbie, Bye, Bye
A knock in the skull sure changes a man
Bye, Bye, Barbie

Fighting With Myself
02:27
|
|||
I was shadow boxing and my shadow punched back
Can you imagine my surprise?
Then I got to thinking if there's something I don't know
Something inside of me that I'm trying to hide
Fighting with myself
I may never win
But I'll never stop
When did I begin?
Till I can rest peacefully
I look in the mirror and I wasn't there
And I wondered where I could be now
So I sat in a chair and tried to relax
But I don't really know how
Fighting with myself
I may never win
But I'll never stop
When did I begin?
Till I can rest peacefully
Sometimes I feel like I could get along
But it always ends in tears
Sometimes I feel like I could be happy
But I always find something to fear

Too Young To Die
03:47
|

You're too young to die
So much of life
Ahead of you
Too young to die
Take a look outside sometime
A butterfly just won't fly
Too young to die
Yeah!
You must decide
No need to hide
See tears roll down
See
Don't be a tear
Smile for me, dear
Don't be a frown
Too young to die

This Song
01:17
|

This song's about pain and hope and suffering... love
This song's about waiting … and waiting
This song's about gladness, madness
And the difference between
This song's about over
But it will never stop
Not really

Feels Good
04:19
|

First time that I saw you
My heart skipped a beat
I thought that you were pretty
I thought that you were neat
And I walked outside
And saw the stars
Expecting that they be there
They always are
At night
And I know that it feels good
Just to talk to you
But I...
... saw you walking on your way
You were walking back
I saw that guy walking with you
Looked like he was wearing a mask
Then I turn, and saw the sun there
Shining like it does
During the day
And I know that it feels good
Just to talk to you
But I...
This is the last time that I see you
Is the last time that I see your face
I wave, you think I'm waving 'hi'
But I'll be waving bye
Goodbye
And I know that it felt good
Just to talk to you
But I...

Oh No
03:57

The clouds they came
The sun was hid by the storm
The picnics were cancelled
The little children stayed inside to play
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
The wind it blows
The leaves are piled by the road
The cat it died
13 years is a long time
Most get hit by a car
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
The moon is out
The stars they shine in the night
The clock it ticks
The old lady sits all alone
Oh, no
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh, no!

Strange Boy
04:58
|

When I saw you
I was frozen
I knew that I had already
Gone ahead and chosen
I was in love with you
I see you act the same way
Whenever we get near
On the verge of tears
Darling now I fear
I am in love with you
I tell you now
It's spooky for me too
Just to feel this way
I don't know what to do
I am in love with you
I am a strange boy
I come from West Virginia
I've seen a lot of hard
In the avant garde
I am in love with you

True love will find you in the end
You'll find out just who was your friend
Don’t be sad, I know you will
But don’t give up until
True love will find you in the end
This is a promise with a catch
Only if you're looking can it find you
‘Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light, the light
Don’t be sad, I know you will
But don’t give up until
True love will find you in the end
