She See Me 03:01
She see me knockin’ at the door. I see her watchin’ at the window. I’m only askin’ at the door. And her reply is "'cos I said so!” And now I’m waitin’ by the door, anticipatin’ just a “hello”. Don’t she love me? She see me knockin’ at the door. Last night we had a good time. All my words were true. And now I think it’s such a crime that she'd be feelin’ blue! I bought a flower from the store, but can she see it through the window? I wonder if she wanted more? Or does she only wanna take it slow? I hope she wearin’ out the floor! ‘Cos I been walkin’ up and down the block! Oh! Don’t she love me? She see me knocking at the door! She see me knocking at the door. I see her watchin’ at the window. I’m only askin’ at the door. And her reply is "'cos I said so!” And now I’m waitin’ by the door, anticipatin’ just a “hello”. Don’t she love me? She see me knockin’ at the... She see me knockin’ at the... She see me knockin’ at the door!

How many times do I have to answer this same question? “Do I really wish, that she died?” My eyes have been closed to what some might call a lesson. The Lord wouldn’t know if I tried. Well it’s getting later now and there’s just no one to find. Cuffs are on this time, and the pun don’t fit the crime. And the Lord wouldn’t know if I tried. How many times do I have to answer this same question? “Do I really hope, that she cries?” And the Lord wouldn’t know if I tried! The Lord wouldn’t know if I tried.

Way upstairs and you’re knockin’ on the floor. (oh mom, oh mom) We hear you now, and we heard you before. (oh mom, oh mom) We got no right, this early in the morn. (oh mom, oh mom) You’re way upstairs and you’re knocking on the floor. (oh mom, oh mom) Leavin’ alone, must be a broken bone in your body.

(oh mom, oh mom) It’s 3 AM and you’re calling on the lord. (oh mom, oh mom) When it rains, you can bet it’s gonna p-p-p-p-pour! (oh mom, oh mom) You’re way downstairs and you’re knockin’ on the floor. (oh mom, oh mom) Leavin’ alone, must be a broken bone in your body. (those broken bones) ain’t givin’ in, ain’t letting go- Baby it’s a battle if you think you’re gonna show us all who rock… Who rock and roll. Who roll! Thinking ahead like daddy always said sure saved me. (like daddy said) With a 5 or a 10 I put a bottle of the sin in the palm of the hand of the law and the land- let’s roll! Let’s rock and roll. Way upstairs and you’re knocking’ on the floor. (oh mom, oh mom) We hear you now, and we heard you before. (oh mom, oh mom) Way downstairs and your knocking on the floor. (oh mom, oh mom) it’s 3 AM and you’re calling on the lord. (oh mom, oh mom)

But your golden touch, don't matter much- I got news for you ‘Cause the Romans, they did it The Incans and and the Mayans Even the Egyptians, too Well they all had a clue What you're going through No, there's nothin’ new about you Nothin’ new about you Well they all had a clue What you're going through Oh, there's nothin new about you So you don't have to worry Don't even have to hurry What do ya gotta prove? And the bell's been rung The melody sung hummin’ the same old tune Over land and the ocean, The ancient theologians wrote it in their proverbs, too. Well they all had a clue What you're goin’ through Oh, there's nothin’ new about you Nothin’ new about you About you Well they all had a clue What you're going through Oh, there's nothin new about you (piano solo) Newwwww About Youuuuu Well they all had a clue What you're going through Oh, there's nothin new about you

Jealous 03:45
Even in the dead of night, dream of her as bein’ mine. It’s been a long time. I’m jealous of him. Sun is shining through the day. Patiently I sit awake. It’s been a long time… I’m jealous of him. We were made for each other. So how could this be? Things won’t really feel right, until I have you all for me. Moon is shining bright and blue. Every night I wait for you. It’s been way too long… I’m jealous of him. Up above I saw a sign. Girl like her is hard to find. It’s been way too long… I’m jealous of him. We were made for each other. So how could this be? Things won’t really feel right, until I have you all for me. I’m jealous of him. I’m jealous of him.

When you’re alone, no one can break your heart. When you’re alone, you set the mark on vibe. And the peace of surrender. Every moment so tender. Now you, when you’re on your own. When you’re alone, no one to pay a dime. When you’re alone, never a hand to wind. Not a flower to send her. Or a date to remember. Now you, all you’ve got is time. When you’re alone, no one to hear you cry. When you’re alone, no one to stay beside… Whatever the weather- You were better together, now you, now you’re on your own. Now you’re on your own.

What are you thinking when he looks at you? He isn’t blinking when he looks at you. Now I am thinking that I have a love to lose. My heart is sinking when he looks your way. Have we been growing apart every day? All of a sudden I don’t have, any words, to say. Do you got a new love? I’m feeling alone. (I want to hear you say you love me) If you got a new love, then I’m on my own! (You’re making me crazy!) Do you got a new love? I’m feeling alone. (I want to hear you say you love me) If you got a new love, then I’m on my own! (You’re making me crazy!) And then when she told me what she had to say… She didn’t notice him looking her way. She’s only been thinking of our love and our wedding day.

Who will really care, In another year? Everyone was there. Love was in the air. Oh… no... No one shot the gun. So who told you to run? Swearin’ up and down, In that wedding gown. Love her. You know you love her. Love you. Doesn’t she love you? Oh… No…. Oh… No…. No…. No….
