I know that everybody has a dream Everybody has a dream And this is my dream, my own Just to be at home And to be all alone . . . with you.
Some people sleep all alone every nightInstead of taking a lover to bedSome people find that it's easier to hateThan to wait anymore.
I'm kind of in a dark place. And I know some people are actually excited about that, because they think I'll write an album about being sad. But that's not what my music is about. There have been times when I've done that, but I'm not going to do it again.
Slow down, you crazy child.You're so ambitious for a juvenile.
The joy of life is made up of obscure and seemingly mundane victories that gives us our own small satisfactions.
We all have a face that we hide away forever,And we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone.Some are satin, some are steel, some are silk and some are leather.They're the faces of the stranger and we love to try them on.
We all end in the ocean. We all start in the streams.We're all carried along by the River of Dreams.
Don't go trying some new fashionDon't change the color of your hair. . . .I could not love you any betterI love you just the way you are.
Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair. . . . I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are.
Don't go changing, to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are.
Don't go changing, to try and please meYou never let me down before.
Don't wait for answers... Just take your chances!Don't ask me why.
And the word spread of Billy the Kid.
You better believe there will be times in your life when you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool. So take it from me: you'll learn more from your accident than anything that you could ever learn in school.
