You're such a cool woman but I love you
Such a cruel woman but I love you
Open up your eyes and realise
You're such a fool woman but I love you
But give me all you've got to give
Cause it sure feels good to me

I'm not your only man I'm just a lover
Not your only man just another
Open up your eyes and realise
I'm gonna take what I can like any other
I'll say any damn thing that you want me to
Cause it don't mean a thing to me

Well
You lie down with dogs, you fall in with thieves
You're gonna catch something but you do as you please
You're scartchin' an itch that nothing can ease
You lie down with dogs you get up with fleas

Get out and find yourself another lover
Why don't you find yourself another lover
Open up your eyes and realise
You don't mean nothing to me I'm not your mother
You gave me all that you had to give
But there's a whole lotta fish in the sea

Well
You lie down with dogs, you fall in with thieves
You're gonna catch something but you do as you please
You're scartchin' an itch that nothing can ease
You lie down with dogs you get up with fleas

You don't fool me with your tinted eyes and make up
The firebird hides in shadow when you wake up
Your golden hair is black
Your jeans are tight but your hide is slack
Try it on the company but you don't fool me

Well I'd rather be a man than play my role like you do
I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do
I'd rather be a man than slave the way that you do
I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do

You don't fool me with your easy lies and fables
You won't see me in ten buck furs and sables
You sparkle like a snake
The wine is real but the glass is fake
Blame it on the apple tree but you don't fool me

Well I'd rather be a man than play my role like you do
I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do
I'd rather be a man than slave the way that you do
I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do

Your golden hair is black
Your jeans are tight but your hide is slack
Try it on the company but you don't fool me

Well I'd rather be a man than play my role like you do
I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do
I'd rather be a man than slave the way that you do
I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do

I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you

I'd rather be a man cause I wouldn't wanna be like you

Show me a promised land and I will go anywhere
And if you ask me to take my time I'll wait for years
I'll hold on though the whole world tells me I'm wrong
Someday, someday
But it seems so long

Ask me to prove my love and I will do anything
So if they turn off the light of the sun why should I care
I'll hold on though the whole world tells me I'm wrong
Then in the morning as you leave me
You touch my hand to show how much you care
But just when I need you
You won't be there

I'll hold on but I need a shoulder to lean on
Why if you love me must you leave me
Why are you going anywhere
Why must our love be something in the air
Cause just when I need you
You won't be there
You won't be there

Well it was only a game she was mine for the asking
And I'd figured the whole thing out
When she told me her name it was more that a feeling
There wasn't any doubt

Well it felt so good it was too hard to break it
Too much for me to explain
But in a matter of time I'm gonna be myself again

You've been
Winding me up too long
I'm over my head is it day or night
Cause woman you ain't so strong
But you caught me by surprise
Burned me with your eyes
Cut me down to size
Saw through my disguise

Well it was only a game she was only a number
But I figured it out all wrong
Every time that I said I'll move on tomorrow
I hung around too long
Well it felt so good it was too hard to break it
Too much before me to face
Now I got nowhere to run she knows my every hidin' place

You've been
Winding me up too long
I'm over my head is it day or night
Cause woman you ain't so strong
But you caught me by surprise
Burned me with your eyes
Cut me down to size
Saw through my disguise

Winding me up too long
I'm over my head is it day or night
Cause woman you ain't so strong
But you caught me by surprise
Burned me with your eyes
Cut me down to size
Beat me to the prize
Hurt me with your lies
Saw through my disguise
Burned me with your eyes
Cut me down to size
Saw through my disguise

I ain't got a heart of stone
I'm hurtin' more than I've ever kown
If you mean the things you said
I'm gonna wind up outa my head
Can't sleep alone at night
I just can't seem to get it right
Damned if I do
I'm damned if I don't but love you

I don't wanna tie you down
Don't need a reason to have you around
But each time you wal away
Don't be surprised if I ask you to stay
Can't sleep alone at night
I just can't seem to get it right
Damned if I do
I'm damned if I don't but love you
I said I'm damned if I do
I'm damned if I don't cause love you

I ain't got a heart of stone
You haven't left me a mind of my own
But it's such a hold on me
I don't think I could ever be free
How can I survive
I'm fighting to keep myself alive
I'm damned if I do
Damned if I don't but love you
Can't seem to see the light
I've done everything but I can't get it right
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't but love you

Some are born to lose their heads
And some are born to use them
And some will never know their ends
And some are born to choose them

Don't let your fantasies be blinded by the light
You don't have to save your wildest dreams for the night

Don't hold back don't hold back don't hold back reach out
Touch the sky with your mind's eye, don't be afraid to reach out

Some you wind and some you lose
And some will bring you sorrow
Some are born to lead the rest
And some are born to follow
Don't rely on miracles to open any door
And don't your let a shadow be your guide anymore

Don't hold back don't hold back don't hold back reach out
Touch the sky with your mind's eye, don't be afraid to reach out

Ride the wave of destiny
Rise above the crest
And believe everything that happens to you happens for the best
Don't allow the world of men
To turn your head no more
Cause if you can't let yourself go
What are you saving yourself for?

Don't hold back don't hold back don't hold back reach out
Touch the sky with your mind's eye, don't be afraid to reach out

Don't you let your fantasies be blinded by the light
For you don't have to save your wildest deams for the night

Don't hold back don't hold back don't hold back reach out
Touch the sky with your mind's eye, don't be afraid to reach out

I prefer to spend my time is solitary ways
Keeping myself to myselff
Can't pretend that it's been easy since you went away
Living with somebody else

If you should change your mind
If you would turn around and look behind
If you could see me the way I used to be
At the rist of bringing back the sorrow and despair
I would do it all again
Holding on to memories and pretending not to care
Knowing that the show was soon to end
If only I could change your mind
If only you would change
If I had the chance I'd do it all again
I would do it all again

I remember windy shores on melancholy days
Drifting along with the tide
And the joy of simple things and ordinary ways
Taking is all in my stride

If you should change your mind
If I could let you see what lies behind
If you could need me the way it used to be
Even for a moment of the happy times we shared
Living in my dreams since then
At the risk of losing only castles in the air
Come with me and we can try again
Oh, if I could change your mind

Can't pretend it's not been lonely since you went away
Oh, if only I could change your mind
