I'm not ready for this,
Though I thought I would be.
I can't see the future,
Though I thought I could see.

I don't want to leave you,
Even though I have to.
I don't want to love you.
Oh, I still do.

Need some time to find myself.
I wanna live within.

Can I go my own way?
Can I pray my own way?
I don't want to leave you.
Oh, I need you.

Am I ready for this?
Did I think I would be?
Can I see the future?
No, I can't see.

I don't want to leave you,
Even though I have to.
I don't want to love you.
Oh, I still do.

Ah, la la da da da.
Ah, I still do.

Ah, la la da da da.
Ah, I still do.

. . .


Oh, my life is changing everyday,

In every possible way.
And oh, my dreams, it's never quiet as it seems,
Never quiet as it seems.

I know I've felt like this before, but now I'm feeling it even more,
Because it came from you.
And then I open up and see the person falling here is me,
A different way to be.

Ah, la da ah...
La...

I want more imposible to ignore,
Imposible to ignore.
And they'll come true, impossible not to do,
Impossible not to do.

And now I tell you openly, you have my heart so don't hurt me.
You're what I couldn't find.
A totally amazing mind, so understanding and so kind;
You're everything to me.

Oh, my life,
Is changing every day,
In every possible way.

And oh, my dreams,
It's never quiet as it seems,
'Cause you're a dream to me,
Dream to me.

Ah, da, da da da, da, la...

. . .


Oh, do you know,

Where to go, where to go?
Something on your mind,
Wanna leave me behind, wanna leave me behind.

You're spinning me around,
My feet are off the ground.
I dunno where I stand.
Do you have to hold my hand?
You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me...

Oh, when he walked into the room,
It happened oh so soon.
I didn't want to know.
Does he really have to go?
You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me...

And I couldn't find the words,
To say, "I love you."
And he couldn't find the time,
To say, "I need you."
It wouldn't come out right.
It wouldn't come out right.
Just came out all wrong.

You're spinning me around,
My feet are off the ground.
I dunno where I stand.
Do you have to hold my hand?
You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me...

Oh, do you know,
Where to go, where to go?
Something on your mind,
Wanna leave me behind, wanna leave me behind.

. . .


You're so pretty the way you are.

You're so pretty the way you are.
And you had no reason,
To be so insolent to me.
You're so pretty the way you are.

La, la, you got to say it if you want to,
But you won't change me.
La, la, you got to say it if you want to,
But you won't change me.

You're so pretty the way you are.
You're so pretty the way you are.
And you had no reason,
To be so insolent to me.
You're so pretty the way you are.

La, la, you got to say it if you want to,
But you won't change me.
La, la, you got to say it if you want to,
But you won't change me.

Who gave them the right,

Waltzing back into,
Your life, your life, your life?
Now I feel fear,
I wish that they'd never come,
Here, here, here.

What they're gonna do, what they're gonna say,
Taking you away from my life, my life, my life?
What they're gonna do, What they're gonna say,
Taking you away from my life, my life, my life?

La, la, la...

Who gave them the right,
Turning it back into,
Light, light, light?
Then I felt fear,
I wish that they'd never come,
Here, here, here.

What they're gonna do, that they're gonna say,
Taking you away from my life, my life, my life?
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna say,
I don't wanna say, 'cause it's your life, your life, your life.

La, la, la, la...
Who gave them the right, the right, the right? [X 4]

Keep on looking through the window again,

But I'm not sorry if I do insult you.
I'm sad, not sorry, 'bout the way that things went,
And you'll be happy and I'll be forsakin' thee.

I swore I'd never feel like this again,
But you're so selfish, you don't see
What you're doing to me,
I keep on looking through the window again.
No I'm not sorry if I do insult you.
No-o-o, I'm not sorry if I do insult you.

You told me lies, and I sighed, and I sighed, and I sighed.
'Cause you lied, lied, and I cried, yes I cried, yes, I cry, I cry, I try again.

I realize, as he sighed, and he sighed and he sighed.
'Cause you lied, lied, and I cried, yes I cried, yes, I cry, I cry, I try again.

Keep on looking through the window again,
But I'm not sorry if I do insult you.
I'm sad, not sorry, 'bout the way that things went,
And you'll be happy and I'll be forsakin' thee.

I swore I'd never feel like this again,
But you're so selfish,
You don't see what you're doing to me,
I keep on looking through the window again.
No I'm not sorry if I do detest you.
No-o-o, I'm not sorry if I do detest you.

You told me lies, and I sighed, and I sighed, and I sighed.
'Cause you lied, lied, and I cried, yes I cried, yes, I cry, I cry, I try again.

I realize, as he sighed, and he sighed and he sighed.
'Cause you lied, lied, and I cried, yes I cried, yes, I cry, I cry, I try again.

Keep on looking through the window again.
Keep on looking through the window again...

If you, if you could return, don't let it burn, don't let it fade.

I'm sure I'm not being rude, but it's just your attitude,
It's tearing me apart, It's ruining everything.

I swore, I swore I would be true, and honey, so did you.
So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you?

But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

Oh, I thought the world of you.
I thought nothing could go wrong,
But I was wrong. I was wrong.
If you, if you could get by, trying not to lie,
Things wouldn't be so confused and I wouldn't feel so used,
But you always really knew, I just wanna be with you.

But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

And I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

. . .


Sittin' in an armchair,

With my head between my hands;
I wouldn't have to feel like this
If you'd only understand

Too many misunderstandings
Causing such delay
And if it doesn't work like this
Well I'll try another way

Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand

You know that all I wanted was
To be there by your side
And if you didn't want it
Well you shouldn't have denied

You knew that you were someone special
Right from the start
But if you treat me badly
We'd be better off apart

Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand, understand

Oh, oh oh oh, oh...

. . .


Still can't recognize the way I feel (I feel, I feel).

Nothing of what you said to me was real.
And you still can't find the strength,
To apologize, (-ogize, -ogize).
You just go on laughing and telling everyone lies.

'Cause you wanted it all, you wanted it all, you wanted it all.
No, and there's nothing at all,
There's nothing at all, there's nothing at all.

Maybe if you could see beyond,
Your nose, (your nose, your nose).
Nothing of what has happened surely shows.
But your ego excelled and then your attitude.
And you went on laughing and shouting,
It's all too shrewd.

'Cause you wanted it all, you wanted it all, you wanted it all.
No, and there's nothing at all,
There's nothing at all, there's nothing at all.

La na na na, la la...

Still can't recognize the way I feel (I feel, I feel).
Nothing of what you said to me was real.
And you still can't find the strength,
To apologize, (-ogize, -ogize).
You just go on laughing and telling everyone lies.

'Cause you wanted it all, you wanted it all, you wanted it all.
No, and there's nothing at all,
There's nothing at all, there's nothing at all.

La na na na, la la...
Wanted it all, wanted it all, you wanted it all. [X 2]

. . .


And now, it's all the same to me,

So be whatever you want to be,
And go wherever you need to go.

And when it all seems like a mistake,
Take whatever you need to take,
And leave the rest for my own sake.

I will always,
Go beside you,
You will always,
Understand.

And now, it's all the same to me,
So be whatever you want to be,
And go wherever you need to go.

And when there's nothing left behind,
Taken whatever you needed to,
And leave it all into my mind.

I will always,
Go beside you,
You will always,
Understand.

. . .


Look, you're standing alone (Standing alone.)

How ever I should have known, (I should have known.)
Never before, never again,
You will ignore, I will pretend.
Never before, never again,
You will ignore, I will pretend.

In your world, you're alone in your face.
You're alone in your world, you're alone in your face.
How you said you never would leave me alone, oh.
How you said you never would leave me alone.

Now you're just walking away (Walking away),
When you said you always would stay (Always would stay.)
Never before, never again,
You will ignore, I will pretend.
Never before, never again,
You will ignore, I will pretend.

In your world, you're alone in your face.
You're alone in your world, you're alone in your face.
How you said you never would leave me alone, oh.
How you said you never would leave me alone.

Never before, never again,
You will ignore, I will pretend.

In your world, you're alone in your face.
You're alone in your world, you're alone in your face.

How you said you never would leave me alone, oh.
How you said you never would leave me alone
[X2]

. . .


Let me take you by the hand,

Away from here to another land.
Oh, this land in which we live,
Where people love and are meant to forgive.

And you always put me wrong,
'Cause you're always putting me down.

I can't take this anymore.
I decided to leave,
Walked out through the door.
Oh, and why do you think I go?
Because you know it can never be so.

And you always put me wrong,
'Cause you're always putting me down.

La, la la la, la la la...

So let me take you by the hand,
Away from here to another land.
Oh, this land in which we live,
Where people love and are meant to forgive.

And you always put me wrong,
'Cause you're always putting me down.

La, la la la, la la la...
