Notorious

(joan jett/desmond child)

I can see the sadness in your eyes
Hard knocks an' hurt are hard to hide
It can be a long an' lonely ride
But it makes ya strong inside

When you're down an' out the streets get rough
You need love but ya just don't enough
An' ya feel like no one's on your side

When you wanna throw it all away an' you've had it

Don't surrender don't surrender
Cause the fight inside your hearts
Your best defender don't surrender

Ya try so hard but ya feel just like a clown
An' there ain't enough luck to go around
All your dreams they crash right to the ground
You wanna get right outta town

You can say "what the hell i've given up lay down to die" but it's just a bluff
Cause ya know there's no place left to hide

Sometimes life seems like a war an' you're surrounded

Don't surrender don't surrender
Cause the fight inside your hearts
Your best defender don't surrender
Don't give up when ya know you right
When you're feelin all alone just remember
Don't surrender

When you wanna throw it all away an' you've had it

Don't surrender
Don't surrender

Here we are playin' those games
Well i'm runnin' outta patience
And i can't stand the strain
Seems like nothin' ever changes
So i'm gettin' out fast
Darlin' our future is a thing of the past

I tried to leave you so many times
Was it hope or was it weakness
That made me so blind
Don't go promisin' and dreamin'
When you know it won't last
Darlin' our future is a thing of the past

Hey when it was good it was great
And when it got bad it was too late
The story's really sad ain't it

Goodbye i won't sit here and cry
Goodbye i really mean it this time

You're the first one who touched me
You're the only one to know
All my secrets and desires
So it's hard to let go
But i been feelin' trapped
So i better move fast
Darlin' our future is a thing of the past

Hey, i didn't want to end up this way
There's really nothin' else you can say too late
Hey save it for another day

Goodbye i won't lay down and die
Goodbye i really mean it this time

Hey, don't feel so bad it's o.k.
There's no used in fightin' with fate
It's better just to break away

Goodbye i won't stay here and cry
Goodbye i really mean it this time
Goodbye i won't lay down and die
Goodbye see ya

Machismo doesn't wanna know macho, macho, macho
It's always such a show, when anyone is watchin'
Even when you're wrong, you just won't admit it
You think you're bein' strong, so you take it to the limit

Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'
It's time to play the fool again
Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'
You think you're cool but baby you're not
Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'
You gotta rule and call the shots

Machismo doesn't understand macho, macho, macho
What makes a man a man, it ain't about your ego
You have to make your point but where the hell's it got ya
You're just a bunch a noise, but that ain't nothin' new

Always so macho, always so macho
If you could only see yourself
Always so macho, always so macho
You ain't got the balls to be yourself
Always so macho, always so macho
You take it out on everyone else
Always so macho, always so macho oooohh

Machismo loves to fight macho, macho, macho
That you think might is right!
But i know that it just ain't so
Bravado is veneer, and yours is one i see through
You're really insecure and you're afraid i know you

Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'
You gotta rule an' call the shots
Always so macho, always so macho
If you could only see yourself
Everyone's watchin' everyone's watchin'
You thing you're cool but baby you're not
Always so macho, always so macho ooooohh

You've got to have your say
Always have to get your way
Don't want machismo anymore

I can tell that somethin's changed
When you touch me i feel strange
There's a difference when we kiss
Who's this stranger on my lips
In this bed we're outta place
But the truth's too hard to face

In the mornin' we can do an inventory of our history
But for now i don't wanna know

Lie to me even if it's just for tonight
Make it feel like it used to be
Come on' lie to me you don't have to look in my eyes
When you lyin' next to me i'll try to believe when you lie to me

Don't let go of me just yet
Hold me close like we just met
Take it slow to ease the pain
Let it sink into my brain

In the end we just might find we somehow end up bein' the best of friends
But for now i don't wanna know

Come on' lie to me even it it's just for tonight
Make it feel like it used to be
Come on' lie to me you don't have to look in my eyes
When you're lyin' next to me i'll try to believe you when you lie to me

In the mornin' i'll set you free
But tonight be kind and baby
Lie to me even if it's just for tonight
Make if feel like it used to be
Come on' lie to me you don't have to look in my eyes
When you're lyin' next ot me i'll try to believe you when you lie to me
Lie to me even if it's just a disguise
Take me now before it gets to me
Come on' lie to me you don't have to look in my eyes

Lie to me even if it's just for one night
Lie to me you don't have to look in my eyes

Deal with it
Here we go

I heard the back door slam an' you were
Goin' for good an' i didn't give a damn
Oh baby i knew i'd do just fine yeah
I looked around for my cash
There was a couple twenty missin' i said
Imagine that oh baby you musta thought i was blind

You know that i gave it all to you promises i followed through
What the hell did i see in you

The only good thing you ever said was goodbye
Now you're gone you won't see me cry
I won't miss you no not i
The only good thing you ever said was goodbye

I'm throwin' out all the things that you had given
Me for christmas though i paid for every one myself
I'm gonna be alright
I saw the writing on the wall
You were stayin' out all night an' didn't even call
Oh baby it wasn't worth the fight no way

Don't know why it feels so strange
You're the same nothing ever changed
I know i only got myself to blame

The only good thing you ever said was goodbye who-huh
Now your're gone you won't see me cry
I won't miss you no not i
The only good thing you ever said was goodbye

You only told me lies, only phony alibies
I invented what i wanted in your eyes

The only good thing you ever said was goodbye
Now you're gone you won't see me cry
I won't miss you no not i
The only good thing you ever said was goodbye

The only good thing you every said was goodbye who-huh
Was a time when i woulda died
I ain't kiddin' i don't lie
The only good thing you ever said was goodbye
