Hello, I must be going

Well you can tell ev'ryone I'm a down disgrace

Drag my name all over the place.

I don't care anymore.

You can tell ev'rybody 'bout the state I'm in

You won't catch me crying 'cos I just can't win.

I don't care anymore  I don't care anymore



I don't care what you say

I don't play the same games you play.



'Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends

And it seems to me there's a means to and end.

They don't care anymore.

And as for me I can sit here and bide my time

I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.

I don't care anymore  I don't care no more



I don't care what you say

We never played by the same rules anyway.



I won't be there anymore

Get out of my way

Let me by

I got better things to do with my time

I don't care anymore   I don't care anymore

I don't care anymore   I don't care anymore



Well, I don't care now what you say

'Cos ev'ry day I'm feeling fine with myself

And I don't care now what you say

Hey I'll do alright by myself

'Cos I know.



'Cos I remember all the times I tried so hard

And you laughed in my face 'cos you held all the cards.

I don't care anymore.

And I really ain't bothered what you think of me

'Cos all I want of you is just a let me be.

I don't care anymore  D'you hear? I don't care no more



I don't care what you say

I never did believe you much anyway.



I won't be there no more

So get out of my way.

Let me by

I got better things to do with my time

I don't care anymore

D'you hear? I don't care anymore

I don't care no more

You listening? I don't care no more

No more!



You know I don't care no more!

When I opened your letter yesterday

I could not believe my eyes

'Cos I've already given all I have to give

And I think it must have slipped your mind

But I remember not so long ago

I gave it all, it's gone

And I gave it all to you

Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine



Oh, d'you hear me?

I cannot believe it's true

Are you really doing the things you do.

No I cannot believe it's you, really you



Oh these people I'm talking to don't understand

They don't seem to realize

They're listening but they're not hearing me

They're being too cruel to be kind

Any kind of feeling that I had is gone

'Cos I gave it all, it's gone

And I gave it all to you

Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine



Oh, d'you hear me?

I cannot believe it's true

Are you really doing the things you do.

No I cannot believe it's you, really you



Over and over I keep on telling myself

Over and over I hope I'm gonna make up

Over and over I know it's really happening

And there's nothing that I can say

'Cos nothing can change all the things that you've done to me

Nothing can make me stay



Oh, 'cos you know I cannot believe it's true

Are you really doing the things you do

No I cannot believe it's you, really you



I know it's a crying shame, it's all the same to you

It seems all so well laid out but I cannot get through

Never meant it to show

It started happening, that's all you know.



Oh, I gave it all to you

Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine



Oh, d'you hear me?

I cannot believe it's true

Are you really doing the things you do

No I cannot believe it's you, really you



Over and over I keep on telling myself

Over and over I Hope I'm gonna make up

But over and over I know it's really happening

And there's nothing that I can say

'Cos nothing can change all the things that you do to me

Nothing can make me stay



'Cos you know I cannot believe it's true

Are you really doing the things you do

No I cannot believe it's you, really you

My mom and daddy both say

I must be crazy to be this infatuated

But I know you know

We got something special never felt before

You get me going just looking at you

And the feeling's not hard to recognise so

Alright I'll come out in the open with it

Will you walk out with me.



Cos you're the first girl I've ever loved

Tell me do you feel the same way

Well I'll show you I'm not like all the rest

Cos I know who I am



Your skin is smooth as silk and your eyes like stars

You're just like a picture book standing there

But I can't go on

No, I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way that I do



I'll be so careful I'll hold you like china

I'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like china

You won't feel nothing, I'll hold you like china

'Cos I know it's your first time



Your mum and dad don't like me

And they tell me every time I call around to see you

I don't know why

Cos I always straighten my tie and comb my hair

I know your brother thinks that

I'm a limp wristed wimp from the other side of town

I know he's got me wrong

Because I'm really not like that, I'll tell you why



You're the first girl I've ever loved

Tell me do you feel the same way

Well I'll show you I'm not like all the rest

'Cos I know who I am



I remember the very first time I held your hand

And that was the last time you were so close to me

But I can't go on

No, I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way as I do



I'll be so careful I'll hold you like china

I'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like china

You won't feel nothing, I'll hold you like china

'Cos I know it's your first time



I know you know and now I want to, I want to tell everybody

I know you know and now I want them all to see...

You said you would, you didn't and I wanna know why

And don't make no excuses

You promised, you promised, you better explain

Tho' I don't know what the use is

You said you could, you couldn't, now why did you lie

You made it look so easy

You did it, why do it, what was your point?

Laughing while you tease me



Oh, do you know and do you care?



I said I did, I shouldn't cos the magic will go

It happened once before

You'll see it, you'll steal it and take it away

And then come back for more

Don't say you weren't, you were 'cos I saw you myself

It's too late for your reason

You're lying, you're lying, you've done it this time

I'm sick of all the cheating



Oh, well do you know and do you care?



'Cos I watch you

oo every day I watch you pass me by

I'll get you

Yes in the end I'll get you

Just watch me try



Oh you make it hard to be hard but I'm trying my best

Cos down inside I'm burnin'

You want it, you get it, now take it and run

I'll hide how much it's hurtin'



Oh, well do you know and do you care?

Oh, well do you know and do you care?

I need love, love

ooh, ease my mind

And I need to find time

someone to call mine;



My mama said

You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait

She said love don't come easy

But it's a game of give and take

You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait

Just trust in a good time

No matter how long it takes



How many heartaches must I stand

Before I find the love to let me live again

Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on

when I feel my strength, ooh, it's almost gone



I remember mama said

You can't hurry love

No you'll just have to wait

She said love don't come easy

It's a game of give and take

How long must I wait

How muck more must I take

Before loneliness

Will cause my heart, heart to break?



No, I cant bear to live my life alone

I grow impatient for a love to call my own

But when I feel that I, I can't go on

Well these precious words keep me hanging on



I remember mama said

You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait

She said love don't come easy

Well, it's a game of give and take

You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait

Just trust in a good time

No matter how long it takes, now break!



Now love, love don't come easy

But I keep on waiting

Anticipating for that soft voice

To talk to me at night

For some tender arms

hold me tight

I keep waiting

Ooh, till that day

But it ain't easy (Love don't come easy)

No, you know it ain't easy



My mama said

You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait

She said love don't come easy

It's a game of give and take...

Well it don't matter to me what you say, what you say

And it don't matter to me what you're doing alright, alright.



Because I've heard it all so many times before

Just what you're saying and

I don't really want to hear it all no more, no more

Don't wanna hear it no more



Cos there's no way that you can run

Cos I'm gonna find you

And there's nobody that you can turn to

cos I'll be behind you just to remind you



That it don't matter to me what you say, what you say

Well it didn't matter to me what you're doing alright, alright



It seems to me it's been too easy for you for too long

So you'd better climb down before you fall and hurt your pride, your pride

You're gonna hurt your pride



Cos there' nowhere that you can run to

Cos I'm gonna find you

And there's no place that you can stay

Cos I'll be behind you just to remind you



Well it don't matter to me what you do

Well it don't matter to me, I'm talking to you, talking to you

Well it don't matter to me believe me

Well it don't matter to me...

I can hear thru' these walls

I can hear it when they're foolin' around

I can hear thru' these walls

And I hear ev'ry sign, ev'ry sound

I can hear thru' these walls

In the dark with the shades pulled down



Ev'ry word that they say

Ev'ry noise they make feels it's coming my way



My fav'rite moment

Putting the glass up next to the wall

Imagination

Tho' I see nothing, I hear it all

Putting my sign up

Do not disturb me, speak or shout, inside out

Oh mind my clothes, they're all laid out



I can see thru' my windows

I can see the girls and the boys

I can see thru' my windows

And I can imagine the noise

I can see thru' my windows

I can see them playing with toys



Oh I hope it won't end

If I promise not to touch, just be a friend



Life is so lonely

I don't get high off just being me

I like pretending

Wanting to touch them, wanting to see

It's only normal

Creeping behind you, now don't shout, 'cos it's alright

They keep the windows locked and the door shut tight



Oo I'm feeling like I'm locked in a cage

No way in, no way out, and it gets so lonely

Am I really asking a lot

Just to reach out and touch somebody

'Cos when I look thru' my windows or open my door

I can feel it all around me



I can hear thru' these walls

I can hear it when they're foolin' around

I can hear thru' these walls

And I hear ev'ry sight, ev'ry sound

I can hear thru' these walls

In the dark with the shades pulled down



Ev'ry word that they say

Ev'ry noise they make feels it's coming my way



Ah yeah...

You were lonely and you needed a friend

And he was there at the right time with the right smile

Just a shoulder to lean on

Someone to tell you it'll all work out alright



Don't let him steal your heart away

No, don't let him steal your heart away

Don't let him steal your heart away

No, don't let him steal your heart away



You can look at him the way you did me

And hold him close say you're never letting go

But any fool can see you're fooling yourself

But you ain't fooling me



So don't let him steal your heart away

No, don't let him steal your heart away



And don't pack my suitcase, I'll be back

And don't take my pictures off a' the wall

Oh, did you hear me?

Don't let him change a thing 'cos I'll be back

Jus tell him to pack his things and get out of your life

And just give me one more chance

I'll show you I'm right, I'm right



'Cos I've been thinking and I know it was me leaving you lonely

But hoping you could be strong

But could you look at me straight

Tell me what else can I do but say I was wrong?



So don't let him steal your heart away

No, don't let him steal your heart away



Well he's gonna try to make it work for you

Make you think your whole life's been leading to this

But whatever you do

Think about me and don't be fooled by his kiss



And don't let him steal your heart away

Please, don't let him steal your heart away



And don't pack my suitcase, I'll be back

And don't take my pictures off a' your wall

Oh, did you hear me?

Don't let him change a thing 'cos I'll be back

Jus tell him to pack his things and get out of your life

And just give me one more chance

I'll show you I'm right

You know I'm right



You were lonely and you needed a friend

And he was there at the right time with the right smile

Just a shoulder to lean on

Someone to say don't you worry it'll all be alright

But he's no good for you

He'll make you think your whole life's been leading to this

And whatever you do

Think about me, oh, and don't be fooled by his kiss

Why can't it wait 'til morning?

We can talk about it then

'Cos I've had a drink too many

And my troubles, well I ain't got any



Why can't it wait 'til daylight?

Things will seem much clearer then

I'm tired and my eyes are weary

And I just want you lying here with me



So close your eyes

I'll make it oh, so nice



Well I don't wanna think about what we've said

And I don't wanna know why we hurt ourselves

'Cos I just wanna hold you so close to me

It'll take care of itself and I wanna sleep



So why can't it wait 'til next time?

'Cos that time may never come

Stay here with your arms around me

You're going nowhere without me



So close your eyes

I'll make it oh, so nice for you
