PROSTITUTE

Seems like forever and a day

If my intentions are misunderstood
Please be kind
I’ve done all I should
I won’t ask of you
What I would not do
Oh, I saw the damage in you
My fortunate one
The envy of youth

Why would they
Tell me to please those
That laugh in my face?
When all of the reasons
They’ve taught us
Fall over themselves
To give way

It’s not a question
Whether my heart is true
Streamlined
I had to pull through
Look for a new
Beginning on you
Oh I got a message for you
Up and away
It’s what I gotta do
Forgive what you have
For what you might lose

What would you say
If I told you that I’m to blame?
And what would you do
If I had to deny your name?
Where would you go if I told you
I love you
And then walked away?
N’ who should I turn to
If not for the ones
You could not save

I told you when I found you
If there were doubts you
Should be careful and unafraid
Now they surround you
And all that amounts to
Is love that you fed by
Perversion and pain

So if my affections
Are misunderstood
And you decide
I’m up to no good
Don’t ask me to
Enjoy them
Just for you

Ask yourself
Why I would choose
To prostitute myself
To live with fortune and shame?
Oh yeah
When you should
Have turned to the hearts
Of the ones
That you would not save

I told you
When I found you
All that it amounts to
Is love that you fed by
Perversion and pain

THIS I LOVE

And now I don’t know why
She wouldn’t say goodbye
But then it seems that I
Had seen it in her eyes

Though it might not be wise
I’d still have to try
With all the love
I have inside
I can’t deny

I just can’t let it die
‘Cause her heart’s just like mine
And she holds her pain inside

So if you ask me why
She wouldn’t say goodbye
I know somewhere inside
There is a special light
Still shining bright
And even on the darkest night
She can’t deny

So if she’s somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There’s no one else
Could ever make me feel
I’m so alive

I hoped she’d never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I’ve searched the universe
And found myself
Within her eyes

No matter how I try
They say it’s all a lie
So what’s the use of my
Confessions to a crime
Of passions that won’t die
In my heart

So if she’s somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There’s no one else
Could ever make me feel
I’m so alive

I hoped she’d never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I’ve searched the universe
And found myself
Within her eyes

So now I don’t know why
She wouldn’t say goodbye
It might just be that I
Had seen it in her eyes
And now it seems that I
Gave up my ghost of pride
I’ll never say goodbye

MADAGASCAR

I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
Oh no I, won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
Oh no... I.. I..

Forgive them that tear down my soul
Bless them that they might grow old
And free them so that they may know
That it's never, too late

For the many times, what seemed like, a memory
I searched and found the ways you used to lure me in
Ooh, I found the ways,
Why it had to be
Mired in denial, and saw heart break / Mired in denial and so afraid

If we ever find it true,
That we had the strength to choose,
The freedom or the chains,
We held together

SAMPLES ->

I'm gonna tell you a story
Stand up for righteousness!
What?
Stand up for justice!
What?
Stand up for truth!
How can a person grow up with all this around them?
You got to call on that something
Where does it come from?
That can make a way out of no way
All this hatred?
What we've got here is..
Fear!
That power that can make a way out of now no way
Failure to communicate
I tell ya I seen the lightning...I've heard the thunder roll!
Everybody's acting like we can do anything and it don't matter what we do. Maybe we gotta be extra careful because maybe it matters more than
we even know..
Sometimes...
Hatred isn't somethin' you're born with
I feel discouraged
It gets taught
Sometimes I feel discouraged
I felt this fear
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone, no never alone, no never alone!
Let's get something straight, alright?
Promised never to leave me!
This whole thing was fucked up
Never to leave me alone!
All men betray. All lose heart!
I don't want to lose heart!...I want to believe
Black men and white men
Together at the table of brotherhood!
I have a dream
Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty!! WE ARE FREE AT LAST!!

I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back
My way anymore
Oh no I, won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back
My way anymore
Oh no...

IRS

Love
Is it true?
What they say of you

Gonna call the President
Gonna call up the Private Eye
Gonna get the I.R.S.
Gonna need the F.B.I.

There’s not anymore that I can do
All the reasons that you give
I follow you
So when you [inaudible],
Baby, every time,
It's true

Wouldn’t be the first time I've been wrong
Wouldn't be the last I'm sure I've known
Through all the rumors I can tell,
Some things didn't work so well

Well anyway, it feels the same

When you first told me you were gone
So long ago, but I feel it head on
Through all the emotions and having a fit
And that's the truth and here's the worst yet
Wouldn't even matter the things that I say
You made your mind up and are gone [?] anyway
There's no use now in dragging it on
Should've seen it coming all along

Well it’s true... ooh
I had
My doubts of you

Gonna call the President
Gonna call myself a Private Eye
Gonna get the I.R.S.

Gonna need the F.B.I.

Gonna make this a federal case
Gonna wave it right down in your face
Read it daily with your morning news
With a sweet hangover, and the headlines true now

I feel your doing this all for my health
I should've looked again then at somebody else
Feel like I done way more than wrong
Feelin' like I never gonna get ya outta this song
Feelin like I'm just too tired to care
Feelin like I done more than my share
Could it be the weight that I've carried on
Like a broken record for so long

And I do
Ooh, oh
I'm gonna call the President,
I'm gonna call a private eye
Gonna get the I.R.S.,
Gonna need myself the F.B.I.

Ooh, what shall I do
If I gave my heart to you
It's such a crime you know it’s true

Gonna call the president
Gonna get myself a private eye
Gonna need the I.R.S.
Gonna get the F.B.I.

Gonna make it a federal case
Gonna wave it right down in your face
Read it daily with your morning news
With a sweet hangover, and the headlines true

There's not anymore that I can do

SORRY

You like to hurt me
You know that you do
You like to think
In some way
That it’s me
And not you
(But we know that isn’t true)

You like to have me
Jump an’ be good
But I… don’t want to do it

You don’t know why
I won’t act the way
You think I should

You thought they’d make me
Behave and submit

What were you thinking
‘Cause I don’t forget

You don’t know why
I won’t give in
To hell with the pressure
I’m not cavin’ in

You know that I
Got under your skin
You sold your soul
But I won’t let you win

You talk too much
You say I do
Difference is nobody cares about you

You’ve got all the answers
You know everything
Why nobody asked you
It’s a mystery to me

I’m sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don’t know who in the hell to
Or not to believe

I’m sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don’t know who you can trust now
Or you should believe
You should believe
You don’t know who you can trust now
Or you should believe

You close your eyes
All well an’ good
I’ll kick you ass
Like I said that I would

You tell them stories they’d rather believe
Use and confuse them
They’re numb and naïve

The truth is the truth hurts
Don’t you agree?

It’s harder to live
With the truth about you
Than to live with
The lies about me

Nobody owes you
Not one goddamn thing
You know where to put your
‘Just shut up and sing’

I’m sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don’t know who in the hell to
Or not to believe
I’m sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You chose to hurt those that love you
An’ won’t set them free
Won’t set them free
You chose to hurt those that love you
An’ won’t set them free

You don’t need
Anyone else to be
Sorry for you
You’ve got no heart
You can’t see
All that you’ve done for me
I know the reasons
You tear me apart
