Communicate*

Listen

Maybe it’s good thing
Get out before its too late
But to see her go is
Enough to make his heart break

To let him go
Could be her biggest mistake
She will never know
What was on stake

He could have loved her
He couldn’t communicate
It’s a stupid reason for losing faith

She could have loved him
She couldn’t communicate
They should have tried to put it straight

After all it was something
About her looks and her brain
That kept him attached to
Something he couldn’t explain

She was afraid that if she cared
Too much he would leave
So she never showed him
Or he didn’t receive

He could have loved her
He couldn’t communicate
It’s a stupid reason for losing faith

She could have loved him
She couldn’t communicate
They should have tried to put it straight

Maybe sometime and somewhere
They will realize
That if there had been real love
They had made the sacrifice

If they had been the real thing
Wouldn’t they have tried?
If it had been worth it
They would have swallowed the pride

Maybe he could have loved her
They wouldn’t communicate
It’s a stupid reason for losing faith

Maybe she could have loved him
They wouldn’t communicate
They never tried to put things straight

Given you the world*

Listen

To live
To love
To reveal what you are thinking of

To talk
Without guard
Was that really so hard

I would have given you the world
If you had
Given anything at all

To have
and to hold
To believe what you are told

To give
To share
To maintain a love affair

I would have given you the world
If you had
Given anything at all

The Voodoo You Do*

Listen

I trust that you know what you do
I know Ill be happy with you
I hope that you will say I do
To the question the priest will ask you

I know that I will commit to
The fine kind of voodoo you do

I know that I must come down to
Seeing your point of view
I hope that I will turn into
Someone that is good for you

I know that I will commit to
The fine kind of voodoo you do

I trust that you know what you do
I know Ill be happy with you
I hope that you will say I do
To the question the priest will ask you

I know that I will commit to
The fine kind of voodoo you do

I know that you know that I know
That you know that my love is true
You know that I know that you know
That I love the things that you do

I know that I will commit to
The fine kind of voodoo you do

Tell me as it is (1rst draft)*

Listen (1st draft)

I know that you don’t want to talk about it at all
That you would much rather laugh it away
I know that you don’t need to talk about it at all
If you ignore it it will go away

But you can tell me as it is
Tell it to my face
Tell me as it is
Tell it to me straight

I know you think you can do it all by yourself
That you don’t need anyone at all
I know that you don’t need anyone
That you are strongest when you are alone

But you can tell me as it is
Tell it to my face
Tell me as it is
Tell it to me straight

I know that you have a problem trusting the people around
That you believe they wont listen to a word you say
I know that you wont just lean on anyone
That they don’t understand what you say anyway

But you can tell me as it is
Tell it to my face
Tell me as it is
Tell it to me straight

But you can tell me as it is
Tell it to my face
Tell me as it is
Tell it to me straight
