unknown

i wonder how i'll get along
I wonder where i might belong
Losing your way is easy to do
Wandering around without a clue

If there's a way i don't know where
If there's a why l'm standing here
Losing my mind is easy to do
Where are you...

Chorus
And the rain falls down
It's the only way it gets better
When the rain is fallin' down
Telling me that l'm gonna make it through

I never thought of what it cost
All of the time i might have lost
So much to gain playing it cool
I'm better cast playing the fool

(chorus)

I know i will, but when will i
Stand up to myself, make up my mind
I might not have, what i had before
But i still got the rain

And the rain falls down
It's the only way it gets better
If the rain would fall down
Then i know i could make it through the night

And the rain falls down
It's the only way it gets better
When the rain is falling down
Telling me that i'm gonna make it through

Oh yeah, it's the only way
Oh, ohhhhh, it's the only way
Let it rain, let it rain down on me
Let it rain, it's the only way

Walking my baby back home
(mcintyre, afanasieff, sax)


Last night i saw you and it wasn't enough
It's only been one day and i miss you so much
All i can think of is the look in your eyes
When you told that you loved me
Then you had to say goodbye

Chorus
Walking my baby back home
I wonder what i got to do to get you alone
Walking my baby back home
Her daddy says i got to have her back before dawn

Remember when i touched you for the very first time
I'll never forget the night you made up your mind
I was so scared to let you know how i feel
Then you opened up to me
Now i know it's for real

(chorus)

I wonder if your daddy really knows
That you love me so
And i'll never let you go
I wonder if he's ever gonna see
What you mean to me
Will he set you free

Remember the first time you fell in love?

(chorus)

chorus
Nyc girls
They're the p.y.t.s of the world
If you get an nyc girl
Better keep that girl in your world

On delancy street, out on houston steet
All the girls you meet knock you off your feet
New york city is where i wanna be

When i look at you on 5th avenue
Oh you look so fine gettin' on your groove
You're so new york no place l'd rather be
And all the little girls say what they wanna be

(chorus)

All the girls i found come from all around
But the best i've had come from this here town
New york city is where i wanna be
And all the little girls say what they wanna be

Stand clear of the closing doors
Gotta get going gotta go for yours
Everybody try to get inside
Do what'cha gotta do to stay alive
Stand clear of the closing doors
Gotta get going gotta go for yours

"where's this train going man, ya gotta understand
I gotta see a girl, she's my biggest fan
I gotta see her on the west side
She's got the 9-5 and she looks so fly...
So, buddy tell me where i gotta go
Is it the a, the b, the c, the j, the m, the z, the n, the r...
It ain't too far to where i gotta go
To see this girl who sweats me so"
Stand clear of the closing doors
Gotta get going gotta go for yours

Nyc girls...
(chorus)

All these new york girls come from all around
From the san fran shores to boston town
In every girl there's a little nyc
And all the little girls say what they wanna be

Nyc girls
Nyc
Nyc
What i do for new york city girls
N. y. c. u. later...

you want something more than good
Always saying you wish you could
Take a chance at living out those hazy, crazy dreams
Feeling like this town is colder
Everybody gets older and older
The hardest lesson is learning life ain't always what it seems

Chorus
If you wanna walk away (walk away)
Ain't nobody making you stay (making you stay)
Baby it's a losing game
Win place or show
You'll never know
If you walk away
(ain't nobody making you stay)

You don't stay in one place for too long
Gets to feeling like your singing the same old song
All i'm saying is sometimes you just got to give it time
You'd look anywhere for the answer
Maybe you should take a look in the mirror
All i'm saying is sometimes who you are ain't hard to find

(chorus) - repeat

You'll never know
Maybe you'll find it's all in your mind
If you walk away

If you walk away, i ain't making you stay
Baby that's just a losers game you play
If you walk away, i ain't making you stay
And you'll never know if you walk away

(chorus)

if i could only teach my heart to talk
If i could only get my words to walk

I put pen to paper
I tried to write a letter
But sunshine i just got the words wrong

I love you more than ever
I can't say it any better
So i had to put it in a love song

And if i never took the time to say
What i am feeling deep inside today

We'd fall from the graces
I'd try to sing your praises
But i'm sure i'd just get the words wrong

I love you more than ever
I can't say it any better
So i had to put it in a love song

If love is so damn hard then tell me why we stay
And give ourselves as fools not knowing what's at stake
We offer up some empty words like we got what it takes

So baby let me take the time...

I lean on the razor
And i bleed on the paper
But i'm still getting all the words wrong

I love you more than ever
I can't say it any better
So i had to put it in a love song

if i run into you, here's what l'd do
Probably say that everything is okay
Say i met someone knew, it's really going well
Funny i should see you today
And i'd tell ya all the things i got going on
Working on a deal for my new hit song
Even though it really shouldn't matter too much to me

If i run into you, if i run into you
Yeah here's what i'd do
I'd say, "listen i'm having a really crazy week
And i can't talk right now, but i'm glad we're doing
Our own thing 'cause i think it's best for us, don'tcha think?"

See ya!
Wouldn't wanna be ya

If i run into you, here's what i'd do
Probably put on my shades, and act real cool
And i wouldn't understand a thing you say...
Like, "i want it that way."
And you'd tell me all the things you got going on
Found a new man and he turns you on
Even though it really doesn't matter too much to me

If i run into you, if i run into you
Yeah here's what i'd do,
I'd say, "wow you're looking kinda different,
You do something funky with your hair?
...and that tattoo? oh, it's temporary?!"

See ya!
Wouldn't wanna be ya
If i run into you

There ain't nothing going on but the rent you see, there ain't nothing going on
But a
J-o-b, there ain't nothing going on but the rent, but the rent....
If i run into you, if i run into you
Here's what i'd do i'd say the damdest things not one of them would be true
'cause i'll be damned if i look bad in front of you...yeah
I'll be damned if i look bad

See ya!
Wouldn't wanna be ya

If i run into you, if i run into you
If i run into you, if i run into you
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Hey, hey
Good-bye

mrs. callahan, is paul michael home
I can see the light on in his room
Mrs. callahan, is he all alone
You say he needs to change his attitude

Can he come out to play
He didn't make school today
And i wonder why he never wants
To do the things you say

Did he blame you today
Said you made him that way
If you could only see he's just like you

Mrs. callahan, does it hurt to know
You might have got it all wrong
Mrs. callahan (mrs. callahan your son)
Don't you let him go
He'll be gone before too long (if you would only listen)
(i know that he would listen too)

Can he come out to play
He didn't make school today (i know that he would listen too)
And i wonder why he never wants
To do the things you say

Did he blame you today
Said you made him that way
If you could only see he's just like you

How'd ya let him get so out of hand
He was just a kid, mrs. callahan
You can try and say you did the best you can
Who you gonna blame, mrs. callahan

How'd you let him get so out of hand
He was just a kid and i know that he would listen too
Can he come out to play
He didn't make school today
(i know that he would listen too)
And i wonder why he never wants
To do the things you say

Did he blame you today
Said you made him that way
If you could only see he's just like you
