Lyrics


1. LAUNDROMAT

what do you think of that
I'm sleeping down at the laundromat
if you should pass you should drop my bag

but I don't have no clothes to clean
to put inside the machine
but it was the craziest place I have ever been

oh, come around and meet my friends
they'll be there with me right through to the end(twice)

say I told you so
maybe bad times come and go
you don't know that right now well then you'll never know

what do you think of that
I'm on the street like an old straycat
if you should look for me you'd know exactly where to go

oh, come around and meet my friends
they'll be there with me to the end, put me to the end

what do you think of that
I'm sleeping down at the laundromat
if you should pass by drop right in

but I don't have no clothes to clean
to put inside the machine
It was the craziest place I have ever been

well, come around and meet my friends
they'll be there with me right through to the end(twice)

2.JUST THE SMILE

Just the smile that is spreading all over her face
Could warm up the room and set fire to the place
Yes it could, you know it could
Now the fog is clinging all over the town
put one foot in front, then you might just fall down -
on the ground. She's in town
Like the rain that is falling all over the land
She cools down my mind when she touches my hand
Feels so good yes so good
Just the smile that is spreading all over her face
it could warm up the room and set fire to the place
yes it could, you know it could


3. HANDS UP

Hands up reach for the sky
And I will tell you why
This is just a game I'm playin
You won't feel the same I'm betting now
Get up you know this time
That you made up your mind
Think of all the dreams you're chasin
Think of all the time you're wastin now
My world is upside down
My inside is inside out
I'm hangin to a leaf that's shakin
That’s hangin to a branch that's breakin off now
Go out into the night
Left to the sky
You’ll walk out the shoes you're wearin
Might even lose your blues, no tellin now


4.FOR THE LAST TIME

you've done me wrong for the last time
you've sung your song, now I've gone and do sing mine
out loud, so loud like the (..)

you've played around for the last time
you've shown your claws, now I've gone and do show mine
watch out, I feel about in the night

you went around since the very first day
you've had your moment now I'm gonna have my play
so long, I'll be gone in the night

you've put me down for the very last time
I hit the floor but I got up on the count of night
good bye, don't cry when I'm gone


5.IT'S YOU

when the days begin to climb on me
and I begin to feel that I can't please
there's only one thing I can do
call on the one who pulls me through
that is you, yeah you

when I'm lost in some old lonely town
and there ain't no sound of you around
a voice comes whispering through my ear
and I can almost feel you here
so near, so near

when the nights begin to drag me down
and there ain't nobody else around
there's only one place I must be
close to you, you close to me
to me, to me

when the days begin to climb on me
and I begin to feel that I can't please
there's only one thing I can do
call on the one who pulls me through
that is you, yeah you
call on the one who pulls me through
that is you, yeah you

6.I'M NOT SURPRISED

I'm not surprised you didn't take the time to write me
I'm not surprised you didn't take the time to call
but baby, you know it really shook me
when, baby, I heard you're not coming back at all

I'm not surprised you didn't stop the thing about me
I'm not surprised you let me vanish from your mind
but baby, you know it overtook me
when my friend said you're gonna leave me here behind

why must it be, why must it be
why must it be, why must it be

I'm not surprised you started out without me
I'm not surprised you even stopped to care
but baby, if you must desert me
when you go don't talk about me when I'm not there

7. CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S TRUE

can't believe it's true, I can't believe it's true
baby where are you, baby where are you

in the night I'm walking in my sleep
a lonely man who just can't get no peace
oh how I wish I just could see your face
then I would wipe the floor place by place

clock on the wall, why do you bother to chime at all
clock on the wall, why does this have to happen at all

in the day I'm walking on the street
hear the sound, steps walking after me
that's just trouble, follow with me about
that is one thing I can't do without

clock on the wall, why do you bother to chime at all
spot on the wall, did I really see it moving at all

can't believe it's true, I can't believe it's true
I wonder where are you, I wonder where are you

and in the night I'm talking in my sleep
the things I say I just can't repeat
don't need no fingerprints to know
you've got your hands on my very soul

clock on the wall, why do you bother to chime at all
clock on the wall, why does this have to happen at all


8.GYPSY WOMAN

the gypsy woman told me
you were your mother's bad luck child
the gypsy woman told me
you were your mother's bad luck child
you're having a good time now
you'll be having trouble after a while

Went to see the gypsy woman
to have my fortune told
she said run right home right away
and look through your keyhole
the gypsy woman told me
you were your mother's bad luck child
you're having a good time now
you'll be having bad times after a while
I believed everything the gypsy woman told me
every single word she said
i ran right home right away
and looked through my keyhole
another man in my bed
the gypsy woman told me
you were your mother's bad luck child
you're having a good time now
you'll be having bad times after a while


9.IT TAKES TIME

everytime baby i got you on my mind
little by little i watch my love slow down
yeah yeah do you know what it means to be alone
today you're laughing baby
tommorow you could be crying
Well you live for the day
you're goin on your own
you got a little child here now come on and try to make it home
yeah yeah do you know what it means to be alone
today you're laughing woman
tomorrow you could be crying
Live for the day you're goin on your own
You got a little child here now come on and try and make it home
yeah do you know what it means to be alone
today you're laughing woman
tomorrow you could be crying
yeah yeah do you know what it means to be alone
today you're laughing woman
tomorrow you could be crying
