When we first met you were the sun and moon Then you brought me home on the 8th of June I kissed your lips and you touched my face I had a deep deep love, it was a great escape Every move you made, I followed close But then you'd leave me home, all alone I'd do anything you asked of me So I waited there for you patiently Oh ohhh I've always looked up to you So you can see that I'm true Brought you your favorite shoes And that's not all that I'll do I'll walk over fire for you Keep my eyes on you I'm true blue I'm true blue blue true true true blue When you first hit me I was a wreck But it wasn’t long till I was crawlin’ back I was on the floor, down by your knees I was beggin’ you to take me by my leash But you grabbed my neck, threw me in the truck I whimpered and whined but I was out of luck You drove me to the edge of town Opened the door and threw me out but Oh ohhh I've always looked up to you So you can see that I'm true Brought you your favorite shoes And that's not all that I'll do I'll walk over fire for you Keep my eyes on you I'm true blue I'm true blue blue true true true blue You used to say you’re a good girl You used to throw me a stick or a ball You used to rub my head and feed me treats And I would come runnin’ whenever you called I used to sit at the foot of your bed I used to wait at the door for hours on end But then you stopped taking care of me Drove to the edge of the country but I've always looked up to you So you can see that I'm true Brought you your favorite shoes And that's not all that I'll do I'll walk over fire for you Keep my eyes on you I'm true blue I'm true blue blue true true true blue credits

My love for her was steady My body wasn't ready For me, she never made time I never complained or whined And I could never get her out of my mind. I've been to plenty of conventions. Seen a lotta females. The nights always ended great. Won't get into the details Whether comics, video games or anime's the main theme The girls standing near the booths always look amazing There was one in particular I laid my eyes on She looked nice and innocent. But man, was I wrong. I fell head over heels for her. I was balls deep In love with a girl who appeared to all sweet. We dated for a year. My love expanded. Did what I needed to satisfy what her love demanded My friends said I was being a hopeless romantic Started losing them one by one. Said they couldn't stand her antics They said goodbye. I couldn't understand it. She yelled at me a lot but I never felt reprimanded Never complained once when her attitude was rancid And she sent me to the kitchen to bring her beer and a sandwich It was unconditional (My love for her was steady) She was only at the booth for show (My body wasn't ready) I knew she didn't care much though (For me, she never made time) I never complained or whined And I could never get her out of my mind I knew I would never find (Another girl like her again) Never wanted to say goodbye (Now I drown in tonic and gin) A broken nerd she left behind ( Never got to say farewell ) When death comes ring the bells I hope to love her again in hell When I showed my love for her, I would do it large. If she blew me off, I would wish upon a shooting star That she would love me back like a hippie loves a cool guitar I would hop on a grenade for her like I was Bruno Mars I dared to propose. Wanted my life shared. Got on my knee and she agreed. What did I care If to most people her reasoning for it wasn't quite fair? I was military. She was in it for the TRICARE Her feelings for me would never grow like feeble midgets. She drained my bank accounts down to the single digits That never bothered me. Didn't make my heart sick I would take her a bullet for her straight to my heart quick Thought "love" was something that she was afraid to say It made the feeling even worse on that fateful day I bought her a box of chocolates and when she tried to eat a piece She choked on it, couldn't breathe and that's the reason she's deceased SHE DIED! SHE DIED! OH NO! To this day I'm still in love with her People tell me that I'm gonna be up above with her But I know better. That's not the place that she'll be in The reason? Cause she was a demon when she was breathin' She didn't love me back. I had ascertained That if I inquired that the question would've asked in vain I was a cheery parade. She was a massive rain Her heart was colder than the grass terrain on the Alaskan plains If I follow her to hell, she might warm up to me I need to live with her in the afterlife comfortably None could see how I cared for her. It was my fault. I cost my love her life. Now her life's lost. Every day I wake up and I hope she's livin' Now I drink my problem's away till my hope is missin' I'm a failure at life. I do nothing well. But it's swell that one day I'll get to love her again in hell.

You've come around again to my front door Just like you have so many times before You're gonna do the same old song and dance And ask me to give you one more chance I told myself it wouldn't be the same When you lost all our money in a poker game And that time when you got thrown in jail And hocked my mother's ring to pay your bail Any man with an ounce of pride Would hang his head in shame But I guess I'm an enabler of your evil side So I've only got myself to blame I think that maybe I should write a song 'Bout all the ways that you have done me wrong But deep down I believe in romance So every time I gave you one more chance You're a shameless womanizer and a real mean drunk When it comes down to it, you're just a punk But every time I dumped you, you called my bluff 'Cause I know you need me, and that's enough Logic says I shouldn't take you back But my heart is stronger than my head If I was smart I'd go it on my own But I'm choosing you instead The way that you've treated my I should be pissed But when you say you love me I just can't resisit You're big brown eyes have got me in a trance So come on in I'll give you one more chance

Every morning, grab a paper, dodge the train. Every morning, I keep on humming that refrain. Bracing for those words that run me through Every morning, is just the price to be with you. But I don’t mind, 'Cause everything that matters is here. I know that we’re gonna be just fine. You the brains and me the part that’s not the brains. We’ll reshape the world into a place we can be free. You and me in Otisburg. Shake it off now, focus on the enemy. Plant the kryptonite. Put the ‘G’ in ‘RGB’. Narrate your first person peer review. Forget the Joker, wait ‘til they get a load of you. And I don’t mind, 'Cause all that really matters is here. I know that we’re gonna be just fine. You the brains and me the part that’s not the brains. We’ll reshape the world into a place we can be free. You and me in Otisburg. Cut me down and fly across the sea. Doesn’t matter, I’m sure you’ll be right back for me. So I don’t mind, 'Cause all that really matters is here. I know that we’re gonna be just fine. You the brains and me the part that’s not the brains. We’ll reshape the world into a place we can be free. You and me in Otisburg. Every morning, grab a paper, dodge the train. Every morning, grab a paper, dodge the train...

Now let me tell you something Before you state your case today Anyone in this broke down town Could see you're trouble from a mile away But I can't leave a puzzle alone And everyone's gotta get paid Babe you've been living out of nightclubs And they all miss your when you're gone Soon they say your stormy eyes turn to ice Sweet red wine lips to poison I lit your cigarette I cashed out on your con I can't let go of the chase Though the lights are going out Darkness hiding her face The case cracks and suddenly I move with the chaos spinning around me And i'm blacking out Don't touch me cause i'll blink Every missed clue is adding pain How many did you leave Mad in the thunder and falling rain Don't say a word your siren song Has me staring down a train If I'll escape this mystery I can't run to you again But I can't outrun it this time Unprepared by so many years Of passions and crimes I know just where this road leads Sideways rain falling around And right through me And I'm blacking out I'll see you in the black Down where the river meets the earth I'll see you soon now Unless you didn't get there first

I don't want to know what you've done Betrayal only makes me feel numb All I hope is that it was fun I'll forgive you Like a moth drawn to a flame You chew me up & spit me out again But I need your warmth to survive Darkness is pain My love for you it binds me like a chain I'm blinded here by the light I don't want to know where you've been Or who has been caressing your skin As long as you keep letting me in I'll forgive you Like a moth drawn to a flame You chew me up & spit me out again But I need your warmth to survive Darkness is pain My love for you it binds me like a chain I'm blinded here by the light The sun goes down My demons rest for the day The tide rolls in And all my pain is washed away I don't want to know what is next I've sacrificed all my self respect But nobody is ever perfect I'll forgive you Like a moth drawn to a flame You chew me up & spit me out again But I need your warmth to survive Darkness is pain My love for you it binds me like a chain I'm blinded here by the light I don't want to know anything I'm scared of all the hurt it will bring At least it gave me something to sing I'll forgive you

You hide yourself away from me Even as you take control Your toxic venom stops my heart Your poison corrupting my soul Yet I give you all my pain As you take, consuming all I know you wouldn't die to save me But I'll be there if you fall Like a virus in my mind I feel you taking hold Like a needle in my vein Penetrating, burning cold But I'll return time after time Addicted to the side effect You are the curse that I can't break The sacred drug that I inject As we lay here side by side This cruel silence chills my heart Even though I'm next to you I feel so far apart Ties that bound us now betrayed Yet I stay here after all I know I would die to save you Even if you'd let me fall

I thought I'd made my mind up I confess My mind is still made up but in the fictional sense You got a lot of nerve in coming 'round Praying on my decency and bringing me down And I swear It's too hard To be anything else after all But so what? Do you care? You're happy where you are I guess So don't mind me I'll keep loving some idea of you I'll keep loving some adulterated, tainted recipe I concocted in my dreams of you When you were alone, and I was too I'll keep loving some idea of you I know your pretty face defies belief Wish I didn't have to know what's going on underneath I got a lot of voices in my head Telling me the stuff that I've already been fed By you Long ago And still I'm crawling here at your feet I'd get up To what end? I'm happy on the ground I guess So watch your step

Another hurricane, another slammed door Another flask of whisky washed up on the shore My eyes can’t rest until the phone rings and I hear your sweet goodnight But at 2 AM, I write a requiem to us For which I can’t recite I worry that it may be closing time I will not accept your last Call me before my heart self-destructs From finding out the truth again Go on, the bar is calling you Our plans keep falling through You slept over a friend’s last night Which friend? No information Offer no explanation No accusation, but it don’t seem right I know you’d never lie to me You were with your family Why do I jump to conclusions? Another apology Another dial tone, another stomach flu Another string of words that could not come from you You tell me you’ll love me forever and how I make you feel inside I hear the tab open, and it begins again Good evening, Mrs. Hyde “Your band sucks”, “Your music’s too mainstream,” “You won’t amount to anything,” “You loser,” “I never loved you” Then ten minutes later you love me again Go on, the party’s calling you Our plans keep “falling through” What happened to our date last night? You left me waiting at the train station Offer no explanation No invitation to your nonstop flight I know you’d never lie to me You thought that I would be at the party Why do I jump to conclusions? Another apology The struggle’s terrifying, but it’s worth it If I come home to you everyday It’s just a phase, you’ll probably get over it It never used to be this way… Why do I jump to conclusions? I just apologize and tune out all your lies….

I was sittin' on a corner Watching things roll by Thinking of all the things that we'd been through I know its been a long time Since you fell out of my life But I'm just too in love with loving you There was that time that you got drunk And kicked me right out of the car I knew right then that this would never do But you'd crawl right back, and I'd give you slack That you didn't deserve at all Cause I was just too in love with loving you Passing time should make it easier It's a sacrament for punishment I know I tried to hard to find another kind of woman But you're the only kind of girl for me for sure I'm just too in love with loving you I'm just too in love with loving you

Hide when the room service comes, I can't risk your face and I want it for myself. I know we can't spend till the end of time living at the Marriott Hotel. But hey! As long as we can pamper through, I feel like I've won the lot. Don't like to fight but I'll throw down for you, oh, Jasper, Jasper. Teach me your scissor kick. Protect me from the world. Oh, teach me your roundhouse kick and I'll protect your innocence. I'd seen so many faces at the front desk a marching order of men I'd never know. All reminders of empty memories yet to grow. Till you showed up, looking for a safe place to stay, all bloody and brawny. I don't like to run but I'll race with you till the end of the ring, Jasper. Jasper. Teach me your strong right hook and I'll keep you off the books safe from the crooked bookies if you'll keep me against your chest. Jasper I know you didn't throw that fight. It's a miracle we've made it this far... the stunt they think you pulled, the stunt we're pulling now. If they ever find you I'll turn them away or else give my life for you, I hope it won't ever come to that but I want you to know that I love you. Teach me your scissor kick. (Teach me to fight!) Protect me from the world. Oh, teach me your roundhouse kick and I'll protect your innocence. Teach me your strong right hook and I'll keep you off the books safe from the crooked bookies if you'll keep me against your chest.

Why can’t I feel you when you’re there? Why can’t I see you when I stare? At your breath so cold as Ice I don’t think I can bear The thought of walking down this line of life of alone So I’ll sit here and tear this aching wound I have for you If only you would wake and take me to the place where we can make A timeless love that renews itself each and everyday Tell me that you are here… I need to know that we are near The brink of love and we’ve got time Tell me are you here tonight I guess I cant move, immobilized I cant breathe Your hand is out of reach I cannot promise you ill keep Waiting here to catch the rope if you cant… Tell me that you are here I need to know the we are near The brink of love and we’ve got time Tell me are you here tonight

Him:I thought maybe I was moving at the wrong pace They've said I'm not looking for love in the right place That I had the wrong idea treating love like a race And that's why all my past attempts have always been a waste But it appears that they were wrong My love's been near all along So now I'll sing a loving song to me 'cause when I see me in the mirror It couldn't be any clearer That my love is just right here I've found my love, I'm in love And I had never believed in love at first sight But I had never before seen myself in this light And though my cheeks couldn't possibly be redder Nothing on Earth could possibly be better than to Take a new direction Give attention to perfection My reflection's my obsession Tonight Duet: I've been looking far to long for the one of my dreams I've been searching all around and everywhere between But I am (he is) the most perfect man that I have ever seen All those other nobodies, I've never been to keen On the fact that their faces, Well, none of them are aces And they just aren't worth the chases to me I need someone more in synch with the way I look and think So let's step into the rink I've found my love (I've found my love) I'm my love (He's my love) And I had never believed in love at first sight But I had never before seen myself in this light And though my cheeks couldn't possibly be redder Nothing on Earth could possibly be better than to Take a new direction Give attention to perfection Him: My reflection's love's exception Her: His reception's love's redemption Duet: And on further inspection I have found my heart's selection Tonight I'd do anything I'd start life anew I'd do anything If I could just hold on to you Her: And I had never believed in love at first sight But I had never seen him before tonight And though my cheeks couldn't possibly be redder Nothing on Earth could possibly be better Than to take a new direction Give attention to perfection And I may have a confession That despite your self-obsession I am feeling a connection Your reflection's a deception So accept this interception If I cant make an impression I will fall into depression Falling had not been my intention Tonight On Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 4:33 PM, Heather Zink <hzink@emich.edu> wrote: Lyrics: Him:I thought maybe I was moving at the wrong pace They've said I'm not looking for love in the right place That I had the wrong idea treating love like a race And that's why all my past attempts have always been a waste But it appears that they were wrong My love's been near all along So now I'll sing a loving song to me 'cause when I see me in the mirror It couldn't be any clearer That my love is just right here I've found my love, I'm in love And I had never believed in love at first sight But I had never before seen myself in this light And though my cheeks couldn't possibly be redder Nothing on Earth could possibly be better than to Take a new direction Give attention to perfection My reflection's my obsession Tonight Duet: I've been looking far to long for the one of my dreams I've been searching all around and everywhere between But I am (he is) the most perfect man that I have ever seen All those other nobodies, I've never been to keen On the fact that their faces, Well, none of them are aces And they just aren't worth the chases to me I need someone more in synch with the way I look and think So let's step into the rink I've found my love (I've found my love) I'm my love (He's my love) And I had never believed in love at first sight But I had never before seen myself in this light And though my cheeks couldn't possibly be redder Nothing on Earth could possibly be better than to Take a new direction Give attention to perfection Him: My reflection's love's exception Her: His reception's love's redemption Duet: And on further inspection I have found my heart's selection Tonight I'd do anything I'd start life anew I'd do anything If I could just hold on to you Her: And I had never believed in love at first sight But I had never seen him before tonight And though my cheeks couldn't possibly be redder Nothing on Earth could possibly be better Than to take a new direction Give attention to perfection And I may have a confession That despite your self-obsession I am feeling a connection Your reflection's a deception So accept this interception If I cant make an impression I will fall into depression Falling had not been my intention Tonight

She won’t answer the door, she won’t cook or clean She won’t chip a nail on the washing machine She won’t change the channel on her own TV She’s Got Nothing But Love For Me. She won’t touch a duster, won’t pick up the phone She won’t fry up the bacon that I bring home If I press her to do it I’m afraid she'll flee She’s Got Nothing But Love For Me. But ooooooooo-weee! I’m in LOVE, helplessly! And my baby, can’t you see, Has got nothing but love for me! (NOTHING!) She can’t find the kitchen, she won’t scrub a pan She’s afraid of the sink and those dishpan hands She once used a broom -- on Playboy TV She’s Got Nothing But Love For Me. She’s not a big fan of societal norms She’s been to college - but only the dorms She’s an honorary member of the fraternity She’s Got Nothing But Love For Me. [whistling solo] But ooooooooo-weee! I’m in LOVE, helplessly! And my baby, can’t you see, Has got nothing but love for me! (ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!) At night when I’m tired and ready for slumber She’ll meet me in bed, if I’ll just take a number I’ll even get lucky, if I’ve got the fee, She’s Got Nothing But Love For Me. She’s Got Nothing But Love For Me My baby's got nothing... ...but love.... ...for me!
