Thinking Of You

Have you ever stood outside a picket fence
You could see through, but you can't get to the inside, oh oh
You sit there and wait, I look at you and anticipate
What we could be and what we could do

Fly with wings of an eagle, glide along with the wind
No matter how high, I'll be thinking of you the whole time
Fly the wings of an eagle, glide along with the wind
No matter how high, I'll be thinking of you the whole time

Oh, you'll be on my mind, whoa oh, yeah!

I'm carrying this heavy load, I don't know what to do
The only thing I know, is I'm in love with you, oh
Fly with the wings of an eagle, no matter how high
I'll be thinking of you

Fly with wings of an eagle, glide along with the wind
No matter how high, I'll be thinking of you the whole time
Fly the wings of an eagle, glide along with the wind
No matter how high, I'll be thinking of you the whole time

Oh, all the time, oh

No matter how high. No matter how low. I'll be thinking of you
No matter what I do.No matter where I go.I'll be thinking of you
No matter how high. No matter how low. I'll be thinking of you
No matter what I do. No matter where I go. Thinking of you

music break

Fly with wings of an eagle, glide along with the wind
No matter how high, I'll be thinking of you the whole time
Fly the wings of an eagle, glide along with the wind
No matter how high, I'll be thinking of you the whole time

Ohh, you'll be on my mind all the time. ohh
You'll be on my mind all the time, ohh
You'll be on my mind, ohh
I'll be thinking of you the whole time, ohh

MMMBop

Ohh, oh oh, ohh oh, ohh yeah

You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You go through all this pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast, oh yeah
And they're gone so fast, yeah!
Ohh, so hold on to the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care?
Can you tell me who will still care?

Okay, yeah!

MMMBop - ba duba dop

Say Oh Yeah, in an mmmbop they're gone. Yeah! Hey yeah!

Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows
It's a secret no one knows. Oh oh, no one knows

Chorus

In an mmmbop they're gone. In an mmmbop they're not there
In an mmmbop they're gone. In an mmmbop they're not there
Until you lose your hair. Oh, but you don't care. Hey yeah!

Chorus

Can you tell me? Oh, no you can't 'cause you don't know
Can you tell me? Oh yeah! You say you can but you don't know
Can you tell me? Which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me? Is it gonna be a daisy or a rose?
Can you tell me? Which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know

Weird

Isn't it weird. Isn't it strange.
Even though we're just two strangers
On this runaway train
We're both trying to find, a place in the sun
We've live in the shadows, but doesn't everyone
Isn't it strange, how we all feel a little bit weird sometimes. Ohh!

Isn't it hard [so hard], standing in the rain [so hard]
Yeah, you're on the verge of going crazy and your hearts in pain
No one can hear, [no one can hear] but you're screaming so loud
You feel like you're all alone in a faceless crowd
Isn't it strange, [so strange] how we all get a little bit weird sometimes

Ohh, sitting on the side, waiting for a sign
Hoping that my luck will change
Reaching for a hand that will understand
Someone who feels the same [feels the same]
When you live in a cookie-cutter world
Being different is a sin [different is a sin]
So you don't stand out, [don't stand out] but you don't fit in. Weird

[guitar solo]

Ohh, sitting on the side, waiting for a sign
Hoping that my luck will change, ohh
Reaching for a hand that will understand
Someone who feels the same [feels the same]
When you live in a cookie-cutter world
If you're different you can't win [different you can't win]
So you don't stand out...don't stand out... but you don't fit in...

Ohh, isn't it strange, how we all feel a little bit weird
Strange how we all get a little bit...
Strange how we all feel a little bit weird... sometimes!

Ohh, just a little bit weird sometimes

[ ]= lyrics in remix *****

Speechless

Oh yeah, everybody wonders, and some people know
I guess that I'm some people 'cause baby it shows
When will you do it, and why will you go
If you've already decided then deliver the blow

The way you walk around me, the way you talk around me
You act so speechless, you've got nothing to, nothing to say
The way you walk around me, the way you're talking to me
Makes me wonder if this was only play
And I wonder, will you still love me
Do you still love me like you did before, Ohh!

Well did you before, ohh

Said come on baby, you think I'm so blind
I see what you're doing behind my back all the time ...all the time
I get suspicious when you call me someone else’s name
You think I don't notice that nothing's the same anymore

The way you walk around me, the way you talk around me
You act so speechless, you've got nothing to, nothing to say
The way you walk around me, the way you're talking to me
Makes me wonder if this was only play
And I wonder, will you still love me
Did you ever love me or were you playing with me before

Ohh, Ohhh, Oh
Oh baby, you think I'm so blind
Oh baby, I'm not playing around this time

The way you walk around me, the way you talk around me
You act so speechless, you've got nothing to, nothing to say
The way you walk around me, the way you're talking to me
Makes me wonder if this was only play
And I wonder, will you still love me
Did you ever love me, or are you showing me, showing me the door

Ohh, Ohhh, Oh oh oh!
Well did you before
Oh baby, you think I'm so blind
Whoa oh! Oh Oh yeah!
Oh baby, I'm not playing around this time
Are you showing me the door? Ohh
Oh baby, you think I'm so blind
Did you, did you, before? Did you, oh oh?
Oh baby, I'm not playing around this time.
*****

Where's The Love

Whoa oh oh, Whoa yeah! Whoa Whoa! Oh

Something’s been going on and I don't know what it is. Whoa!
You don't mind the taking girl, but you don't know how to give
Ohh, you drove me crazy, but I don't know maybe
You're thinking that it's me you're fooling
Where's the right in, all of our fighting
Look at what your doing

Where's the love, it's not enough
It makes the world go 'round and 'round and...
Where's the love, give it up
It makes the world go 'round and 'round and 'round

Oh yeah! Oh, OHH!

Can you tell me what you see whenever you look around
Round, Round, Round
We're tripping all over ourselves and pulling each other down
Oh, we're separating, consciousness is fading
You thinking that it's me your fooling
Where's the right in, all of our fighting
Look at, Look at, Look at what we're doing

Chorus

Dark clouds all around, lightning, rain pouring down
We're waiting for the bright light to break through
Face down on the ground, pick us up at the lost and found
We've got to change out point of view, if we want the sky blue

guitar solo Yeah!

Oh, we're segregating, consciences are fading
You're thinking that it's me you're fooling
Where's the right in, all of our fighting
Look at what we're doing

Where's the love, it's not enough ... not enough ...
It makes the world go 'round and 'round and... oh oh
Where's the love, just give it up
It makes the world go 'round and 'round and 'round

Chorus

Where's the love, it's not enough, Oh
Oh oh oh ohhh! Give it up, just give it up
Give it up, give it up, 'round and 'round and 'round!

Ohh Where's the love, it's not enough
Not enough, not enough, 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
Where's the love, oh yeah, just give it up, ohh
Won't you, won't you give it up. Oh baby!

Yearbook

Oh, Dear Amy, see you in September
I hope that you'll remember me next year
Hey Jaime, you've been a great friend to me
I hope that I'll still see you around here

Cause I'm looking through the yearbook
And I find that empty space
There's a name without a picture, but I can't forget his face
Now tell me where did he go I want to know
Where did Johnny go?
It says "Picture Unavailable" right here
More than sad, it makes me mad
To know somebody knows
There's a lying in your silence
Now tell me where did Johnny go?

Poor Katie, she won't even speak his name
None of us will ever be the same
It's quite in the halls, but I hear echoing off the walls
Rumors of Johnny's mystery

Oh, cause I'm looking through the yearbook
And I find that empty space
Though he never wrote me nothing, but I can't forget his face
Now tell me where did he go I want to know
Where did Johnny go?
It says "Picture Unavailable" right here
More than sad, it makes me mad
To know somebody knows
There's a lying in your silence
Now tell me where did Johnny go?

Where did he go?
Ohhhh, there's a lying in your silence,
Tell me where did Johnny go? ... where did he go?...
Ohhhh, there's a lying in your silence,
Tell me where did Johnny go? Where, where did he go?

Sometime I think I hear him, calling out my name
Sometimes I wonder if maybe we're to blame

It's been a year now, and a lot of things have changed
But I keep thinking about Johnny, I keep turning to that page
Where did he go? I want to know
Where did he go? I want to know

Ohhhh, there's a lying in your silence,
Tell me where did Johnny go?
Ohhhh, there's a lying in your silence,
Tell me where did Johnny go?
Ohhhh, there's a lying in your silence,
Tell me where did Johnny go?
Ohhhh, there's a lying in your silence,
Tell me where did Johnny go?

I do not know, ohh

Look At You

Yeah, look at you baby, Whoa!

Standing in the shadows, wondering what I'm doing here
Wishing something would happen, maybe I could disappear
She walks in with that look in her eye
Somehow she doesn't even have to try
Kick off your shoes, get on the floor
This is what we came here for

Whoa, you have got to break it down
You have got to get it out, just get on the floor
Everybody wonders when they look at you
Everybody wonders what you're gonna do
You've got it all wrapped up you do
Everybody wonders when they look at, look at you

Oh yeah, look at you baby, look at you baby

Middle of the dance floor, lights shining on my face
Twist and shout there was no doubt
People dancing all over the place
Out of the corner of my eye
She says why don't you come give it try
Get on the floor, kick off your shoes
You ain't got a thing to lose

Whoa, you have got to break it down
It's time to get it out, just get on the floor
Everybody wonders when they look at you
Everybody wonders what you're gonna do
You've got it all wrapped up you do
Everybody wonders when they look at, look at you

Say look at you baby,
Look at you, look at you baby
Say look at you baby. Say whoa!
Look at you, look at you baby
Look at you, look at you baby
Look at you, look at you baby
Whoa, whoa, whoa baby
Look at you, look at you baby
Look at you, look at you baby
Look at you, look at you baby
Whoa, whoa, whoa baby

Standing in the shadows wondering why I'm here
Wishing something would happen, maybe I could disappear
She breaks the silence with the move of her hips
Better hold on, don't lose your grip
Kick off your shoes, get on the floor
This is what we're waiting for

Whoa, you have got to break it down
You have got to get it out, just get on the floor
Everybody wonders when they look at you
Everybody wonders what you're gonna do
You've got it all wrapped up you do
Everybody wonders when they look at, look at you

And just look at you baby, ohh just look at you baby
Just look at you baby, ohh just look at you baby

Look at you, look at you baby, oh yeah
Look at you, look at you baby

Turn me loose, like a one eyed double goose
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!

The day, that I left Lucy , oh
A tear, fell from her eye ... oh, her eye...
Now I don't have nobody
And I was such a fool
On the day, that I left Lucy. , oh ... that day, that day...

The day, that I left Lucy, oh
She cried, then said goodbye ... ohh goodbye ...
Now it's done and it's over
And I am all alone
On the day, that I left Lucy , ... that day, that day ...

Now I don't have any more songs to sing
Cause you're everything, everything to me
Well I didn't realize that I felt this way until that day

Today, I'm missing Lucy, oh
And you say, that she's okay
I hope she is
Now I don't have nobody
And no one will ever replace, my Lucy, oh... that day, that day ...
I love Lucy ... that day, that day...
Lucy ... that day, that day ...
Oh no, one that day ... that day, that day ...
That I left Lucy, my Lucy

I Will Come To You

Whoa, oh

When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you, oh I will come to you, ohh

Come what may

When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk beside you

A Minute Without You

Well I woke up this morning
And the night had been so long
It seems that I had had my mind on you
Well the day it has begun
And I can't get a minute, can't get a minute without you..oh yeah..
You're always on my mind
You're always in my head
And I can't live, I can't live another day without you

Cause when the minutes seem like hours
And the hours seem like days
Then a week goes by you know it takes my breath away
All the minutes in the world could never take your place
There's 1440 hours in my day

I've been trying to call you all day
Cause I got so many things that I want to say, yeah...oh yeah...
I'm going crazy, cause all my thought are filled you
There's got to be some way I can get through to you, oh!

Cause when the minutes seem like hours
And the hours seem like days
Then a week goes by you know it takes my breath away
All the minutes in the world could never take your place
There's 1440 hours in my day

Yeah, hey in my day

Well I can't keep myself from thinking 'bout you
It's because I love you and I know, that it's true, oh
I'll call it desperation, can't you see it in my eyes
That I want to be with you until the sun falls from the sky

Cause when the minutes seem like hours...well the minutes...
And the hours seem like days
Then a week goes by
You know it takes my breath away ...they seem like hours...
All the minutes in the world could never take your place
There's 1440 hours in my day

Cause when the minutes seem like hours
And the hours seem like days
Then a week goes by you know it takes my breath away
All the minutes in the world could never take your place, oh no
There's 1440 hours in my day... in my day ...

Cause when the minutes seem like hours
And the hours seem like days
Then a week goes by
You know it takes my breath away ...in my day...
All the minutes in the world could never take your place
There's 1440 hours in my day

Cause when the minutes seem like hours
And the hours seem like days
Then a week goes by you know it takes my breath away
All the minutes in the world could never take your place
There's 1440 hours in my day, yeah

Madeline

Whoa, oh

Out my window, a memory
I'm dying inside, I know it's the way it should be
Even though it was right, in front of me
It's something I just couldn't see, yeah!
Your lonely face, your lonely eyes
But this is something you can't disguise
It's not just me, you feel it too ... you feel it too ...
'Cause you know I belong with you
Oh, look at where we're going
Tell me what can I say
We're tracing our footsteps
We're going the same way

You know it, I know it, don't try to pretend
You know it could be so much better than it's been
Ohh here we go 'round again

Whoa, I was empty inside, but I just didn't know
You are my ten thousand roses and I let you go
Before I make the same mistake, just hold me in your arms
We belong you know it in your heart

No doubt in my mind
Can't you see, it's meant to be

Man From Milwaukee

It started at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere
Sitting beside me was a man with no hair
From the look on his face to the size of his toes
He comes from a place that nobody knows

Ohh, maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
Letting this big-toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky
Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
If you asked me now, then I couldn't tell you why

I've been sitting here to long, by a man from Milwaukee
He's been talking to long on his yellow walkie-talkie
He's talking to Mars, but I think he's wacky
He says they'll come get him, come get him someday

He says a-where he's from is called Albertane
But there they use more than 10% of there brain
But you couldn't tell it from the way they behave
They run around in underwear and they never shave

Ohh, maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
Letting this big-toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky
Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
If you asked me now, then I couldn't tell you why

I've been sitting here to long, by a man from Milwaukee
He's been talking to long on his yellow walkie-talkie
He's talking to Mars, but I think he's wacky
He says they'll come get him, come get him someday, yeah

*Over megaphone
*This is Mother Bird, calling Baby Bird
Baby Bird, come in
Come in, Baby Bird
For the love of Pete, come in.

This is Baby Bird, sorry I watching Court TV, do you copy? Do you copy?

Of course we copy, 24 hours a day, in color.*

guitar solo

You wouldn't believe me if I told you the rest
The man sitting by me who was just barely dressed
Flew off to Milwaukee or perhaps Albertane
And left me at the bus stop, just barely insane

Ohh, maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
If you asked me now, then I couldn't tell you why

I've been sitting here to long, thinking 'bout Milwaukee
I've been talking to long on my yellow walkie-talkie
I'm talking to Mars, you might think I'm wacky
I know they'll come get me, come get me someday
I know they'll come get me and take me away
I know they'll come get him, come get me someday...someday...
If not tomorrow, then maybe today!


Cried

Oh yeah!

You promised not to say a word
You promised you would keep it quiet
But you and I both knew it
It was written all over your face

So I cried, oh yeah
The day you said goodbye, oh yeah
So I cried, the day that our love died
The day you said goodbye

Died.

We had a love I thought could last
I guess I was thinking four-leaf clovers (ooo...)
But you wished we were over (ooo...)
Now I’ve lost three and now I’ve only got one (ooo...)

So I cried, oh yeah
The day you said goodbye, oh yeah
So I cried, You cried, I cried
The day you said goodbye

Let's not even bother, with talking about it
It doesn't really matter to you
So get on home baby, get on home baby, oh whoa

A secret's something that you keep
And a heart is something to hold on to (ooo...)
But you play by your own rules (ooo...)
And one day it will blow up in your face (ooo..., no no no no no cry, yeah!)

So you'll cry, oh yeah,
The day he says goodbye (I-I-I-I)
The day that your love dies
You'll cry, oh, the day he says goodbye, (yeah) goodbye
So you'll cry, the day that your love dies (oh yeah)
The day he says goodbye (I-I-I)
So you'll cry, the day that your love dies
The day he says goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

So you'll cry, oh-ho, the day he says goodbye
So you'll cry, whoa the day he says goodbye (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So you'll cry, the day he says goodbye
(goodbye-16 times) Good...bye (4 times)

He'll tell you goodbye, yeah
