1. FAKES FRIENDS

When you were down they were never there
When you're all alone you really get to learn
If you get back up they gonna come around
All the sycophants they love to make romance
To the ugly sound of 'em tellin' you what you
Wanna hear an' you pretend.

Cuz they all agree you're supposed to have a better life
But you're feelin' worse.
An' they build you up till you fool yourself that you're
Something else an' it's like a curse cause
You can't live up to what they made of you
An' they tell you that you're losin' friends.

Losin' friends, losin' friends
Ya got nothin to lose
Ya don't lose when you lose fake friends.

Ya go an tell 'em you were king of the hill
When ya need a hand - that was yesterday
Ya see 'em laugh while you're on your knees
An' it breaks your heart cuz ya gave so much
An' ya can't believe that ya hit the gound an'
Ya notice ya been losin' friends.

Losin' friends, losin' friends
Ya got nothin to lose
Ya don't lose when you lose fake friends.


2. HANDYMAN

Randy, Randy, I love you
Oh I love you at the same time I hate you
Oh I need you and what can I do when you hurt me
Ya come around, I can take it
When you're here, don't have to fake it
I'm in your spell, I'm stark naked.

Cum as fast as you can
I need my handyman
Randy, Randy you're too hard
Late at night, I kill the light but I'm still awake.

Now I'm afraid, I been waitin'
I'm sick and tired of masterbatin'
So confused, with love an' hate and I say.

Cum as fast as you can
I need my handyman
Randy, Randy you're too hard
Late at night, I kill the light but I'm still awake.

Randy, Randy I'm achin'
I can't have you all of the time and I'm breakin'
Oh I need you and what can I do when you hurt me.

Cum around I can take it
I turn you on, you start shakin'
I'm in your spell, I'm stark naked.

Cum as fast as you can
I need my handyman
Randy, Randy you're too hard
Late at night, I kill the light but I'm still awake.


3. EVERYDAY PEOPLE

Sometimes I'm right then I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my songs
A butcher, a banker, a drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people.

Then it's the blue ones who can't accept
The green ones for living with
The black ones tryin' to be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby.

Ooh sha sha
We gotta live together.

I am no better and neither are you
We're all the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me
You know me and then
Still can't figure out the scene I'm in
I am everyday people.

Then it's the new man
That doesn't like the short man
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on scooby dooby dooby.

Ooh sha sha
We got to live together.

There is a yellow one that won't
Accept the black one
That won't accept the red one
That won't accept the white one.

Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and
Scooby dooby dooby
Ooh sha sha
I am everyday people.


4. A HUNDRED FEET AWAY

Just a little girl in love staring at a penthouse suite
Waiting for the star above to come and join her
On the street.

Maybe he'll want some company and she's got a dirty plan
But he can disappear so suddenly better grab 'em while you can you better.

Standing in a lonely room high above the crowd below
With no one there to share the gloom when
Underneath begins to show.

Living in a world of fantasy can't let the image fall
But he ain't the man he planned to be and he would
Give it all.

For just a little girl in love someone who could share his day.
And just what he was dreaming of
Was just a hundred feet away.

Just a little girl in love just a little girl in love
There was just a little girl in love there was just a little girl in love.


5. SECRET LOVE

Same old story life is so unfair
It's a burden we just have to bare
But I'm with him and you're with her
There's nothin' else to do
Have to hide my secret love for you.

Keep the secret people are so unkind
Sneakin' around you could lose your mind
Never free to let 'em see
All that I go thru
Trying to hide my secret love for you.

I looked in your eyes
Without sayin' a word
I told you what I am
And I hoped that you heard.
Oh yeah.

Society won't let me be
The way I want it to
Hard to hide my secret love for you.

Oh yeah don't wanna secret love
Can't keep a secret love
I wanna open love.


6. THE FRENCH SONG

Don't you be nervous baby
I didn't come to bring you down
This is so natural baby
Just let my love turn you around
This twisted love affair
Could really take us somewhere.

J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois
J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois.

Don't you feel guilty baby
I won't take long to understand
Don't waste time arguing
We'll make the most with what's at hand
I have to laugh out loud
When you say three's a crowd.

I know what I am, I am what I am
I know what I am
I know what I am, I am what I am
I know what I am, I know what I am, I am what I am
I know what I am, I am what I am
Don't think that I'm uncouth, I only speak the truth.

J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois
J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois.


7. TOSIN' AND TURNING

I couldn't sleep at all last night
Just a thinkin' bout you
Baby things weren't right
Well I was tossin' and turnin'
Turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin' all night.

I kicked the blankets on the floor
Turned my pillow upside down
I never did before
Now I was tossin' and turnin'
Turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin' all nighT.

Jumped out of bed
Turned on the light
I pulled down the shade
Went to the kitchen for a bite
Pulled down the shade
Turned off the light
Jumped back into bed
It was the middle of the night.

The clock downstairs was striking four
Couldn't get you off my mind
I met the milkman at the door
And I was tossin' and turnin'
Turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin' all night.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I was tossin' and turnin''
Turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin'
Turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin' all night.


8. WHY CAN'T WE BE HAPPY

I didn't mean to lose control and take it out on you
But there are things
I can't explain
Like havin' dreams come true
While all the world
Is sad and cold
Look at me and you.

We have so much
Why don't I feel happy, baby?
I love you so much
Why can't we be happy.

Every time we have a fight
It hurts me thru and thru
And all at once I'm so unsure
What I'm supposed to do
Even so I always know I'll spend my life with you.

We have so much
Why don't I feel happy, baby?
I love you so much
Why can't we be happy.

No one can satisfy
The needs in me but you
I try to speak my mind to you
But you don't hear me.

I gotta get off by myself
An' have a drink or two
Cuz lately I been so uptight from
What we're goin' through
To live without you
Would hurt no doubt
I never wanted to

We have so much
Why don't I feel happy, baby?
I love you so much
Why can't we be happy.


9. I LOVE PLAYIN' WITH FIRE

My one and only shining star said
Stick with me and I'll take you far
Your eyes are sparkling with teenage fire
I'll satisfy your made desires cause.

I love playing with fire
And I don't wanna get burned
I love playing with fire
And I don't think I'll ever learn.

My heart is aching to see you play
And I can't wait till another day
The way you shake me is really hot
You know how to use what you got.

I love playing with fire
And I don't wanna get burned
I love playing with fire
And I don't think I'll ever learn.

Acting tough with looks that kill
You got me going and I can't stand still
My arms are dying to hold ya tight
You're my little dark dynamite you know.

I love playing with fire
And I don't wanna get burned
I love playing with fire
And I don't think I'll ever learn.


10. CONEY ISLAND WITHFISH

I warned you all the time to get yourself
In line, you never did it
I took you everywhere no one else could
Bear all your bullshit
Your headtrips were a bore I shoulda
Dumped ya long before, you're a dim wit.

When I took you out ya ugly, dirty mouth
Was like a sewer
All ya did was moan, so I left ya on your own
I said screw ya,
I put it to ya
Now you're coming back tryin' to
Get into the act ya fool ya
Ya think I'm stupid.

Scumbag, scumbag - ya don't leave well enough alone
Baby, you're a scumbag you're rotten to the core
You're the biggest fool that I ever known.

Everytime it seemed we had everything
We dreamed for the choosin'
You never had enough the way you
Made life rough sent me cruzin'
I gave a disposition 'bout your rotten
Disposition you're a loser and you're losin' ha ha.

Scumbag, scumbag - ya don't leave well enough alone
Baby, you're a scumbag you're rotten to the core
You're the biggest fool that I ever known

Yeah, uh huh, you are, yea uh huh.


11. HAD ENOUGH

When the fightin' started you turned your head
You left me stranded like I was dead
You run for cover when the
Heat is on
Show your colors
Now you're gone.

Had enough
Had enough of you
You ain't for me
Had enough I've had enough of you.

You show no passion you show no class
It's time for me to move my ass
You rain storm cloud
You ain't no friend
Don't wanna see your face again.

Had enough
Had enough of you
You ain't for me
Had enough I've had enough of you.

The drama's over
I just wanna say
You're gonna want me back someday
But don't come askin' for
One more time
You had your chance
Now I want mine.

Had enough had enough of you
You ain't for me
Had enough had enough of you
You ain't for me.

Had enough
Had enough of you
You ain't for me
Had enough I've had enough of you.
