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.
There are certain artists who have taken it upon themselves to save the world, and I find that gets tiresome. I think the artist's first obligation is to the art, not to the issues . . . I think if I have something to say the best way to do that is just to tell a damn good story.
I would not leave you in your 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.
...And you're the only one who knows.
So many faces in and out of my life Some will last Some will be just now and then. Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again. Say goodbye to Hollywood Say goodbye my baby Say goodbye to Hollywood Say goodbye my baby.
Say goodbye to the oldies, but goodies, because the good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes; I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again
People pay a lot of money to go see shows now, they don't wanna know about your technical problems, or if you're not feeling good, they don't wanna know we have a glitch. It's their night, you better do something to earn that money.
The good ole days weren't always good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.
Ah, you look so good to meWith my eyes open wide, I can seeAh, you feel so good to meAnd it's so good when you're here cause I'm free
You may never understandHow the Stranger is inspired,But he is not always evil,And he is not always wrong.Though you drown in good intentions,You will never quench the fire.You'll give in to your desireWhen the Stranger comes along.
The good days weren't really so good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.
I've only felt content a few times in my life, and it never lasted. I'm very discontented right now. There are situations in my life that didn't pan out. I'm like most other human beings. I try and I fail.
I see the winos talking to themselvesAnd I can understand.
