I once had a true loveI thought it would lastHow could I knowThat it would go so fastA love like a holidayTender and kindAnd I let it whither on the vineWhere did it run toWhere did it goHow could I let itSlip through my fingers soFor it was a real loveAnd rare and fineAnd I let it whither on the vineBut the hardest pillTo swallow is stillNot the reason for your leavingBut the way I let it happenNow Im counting the costOf the loss of what was once mineThat I let whither on the vineI once had a true loveI thought it would lastHow could I knowThat it would go so fastA love like a holidayTender and kindAnd I let it whither on the vine

They went and cut the record the record hit the chartsSomeone in the newspaper said that it was artThe disco Casanova had it heavy on the breathThe local teeny-bopper band was playing it to deathThey called it rockThe telephones are ringing the boys are getting hotTheyre jettin out to Rio and some other sunny spotsSome senorita says the singer sounds terrificThe personal appearances are stopping the trafficThey called it rockHey long distance its a rock and roll romanceCBS is gonna pay a great big advanceHey Atlantic come on take a chanceArista say they love it but the kids cant dance to itThey cut another record it never was a hitSomeone in the newspaper said it was shitThe drummer is a bookie the singer is a whoreThe bass players selling clothes he never would have woreThey called it rock

Oh I cant take another heartacheThough you say youre my friend Im at my wits endYou say your love is bonafide but that dont coincideWith the things that you doAnd when I ask you to be nice you sayYouve gotta be cruel to be kind in the right measureCruel to be kind its a very good signCruel to be kind means that I love you baby(Youve gotta be cruel)You gotta be cruel to be kindWell I do my best to understand dearBut you still mystify and I want to know whyI pick myself up off the groundTo have you knock me back down again and againAnd when I ask you to explain you sayYouve gotta be cruel to be kind in the right measureCruel to be kind its a very good signCruel to be kind means that I love you baby(Youve gotta be cruel)You gotta be cruel to be kindWell I do my best to understand dearBut you still mystify and I want to know whyI pick myself up off the groundTo have you knock me back down again and againAnd when I ask you to explain you sayYouve gotta be cruel to be kind in the right measureCruel to be kind its a very good signCruel to be kind means that I love you baby(Youve gotta be cruel)You gotta be cruel to be kind(Cruel to be kind) oh in the right measure(Cruel to be kind) its a very very very good sign(Cruel to be kind) it means that I love you baby(Youve gotta be cruel)You gotta be cruel to be kind(Cruel to be kind) oh in the right measure(Cruel to be kind) yes its a very very very good sign(Cruel to be kind) it means that I love you baby(Youve gotta be cruel)You gotta be cruel to be kind(Cruel to be kind) oh in the right measure(Cruel to be kind) yes its a very very very good sign(Cruel to be kind) it means that I love you

(Sha la la la...)Its not the way you look that touched my heart.Its not the way you kissed me baby that tears me apart.Many many nights I tried. I sit alone at home and I cried over you.What can I do? I cant help myself cause baby its you.You should hear the things they say about you.They say youre never ever ever ever gonna be true. Oh.I dont listen to a word they say. Im gonna love you any old way.What can I do? Its true. I cant help myself cause baby its you.I dont listen to a word they say. Im gonna love you any old way.What can I do? Its true. I cant help myself cause baby its you.Baby its you.

I read a lot nowadaysMuch more than before you left me high and dryIn a loveless landWith nothing but time on my handsI read a lot not just magazinesBut other more serious things to get me through the dayNighttime tooWhilst wondering how in the world to go on without youLonely isnt the word for me nowBlue doesnt describe it somehowI read a lot I cant put it downWhile others are painting the town youll find me in a worldOf fantasy.Population one. Thats meSo if you ask me how I stopContemplating what I now have notIll replyI read a lot

When youre walking in the street Spoiling for a fight Hoping for a miracle And theres no miracle in sight Registerin zero cause youre bombed out on the blues You feel like some bad story In yesterdays news. It make you want to make lay face down On the grass so brown Where the sun beats down On the bakin ground. To find sweet release In endless sleep. Endless sleep. When youre hanging by a thread Clutchin at a straw Aint got nothing left And the world keeps shoutin more more. You havent got an earthly cause your heart bust up inside. Nobody you can turn to this time No place you can hide. Makes you want to lay face down On the grass so brown Where the sun beats down On the bakin ground. To find sweet release In endless sleep. Endless sleep. Endless sleep.

Raindrops are falling on the citysGlitter heartEverywhereThere are loversLike we once used to beEach turn I take reminds me of how were now apartAnd Im lost in a Lonesome ReverieOver there is where we found that little parkOn the day you decidedTo say that you loved meI mean to drive on byBut as Im parking upI get into a Lonesome ReverieI dont want to live this wayClinging on to yesterdayAnd a memory of what once used to beSo I turn for home torn reluctantlyFrom a Lonesome ReverieI dont want to live this wayClinging on to yesterdayAnd a memory of what once used to beSo I turn for home torn reluctantlyFrom a Lonesome ReverieI am lost in a Lonesome Reverie

Soulful wind will be a blowingAround my bed somedayThe clouds that have been broodingWill roll awayEverybodys waitingFor you to come inAnd blow soulful windSoulful wind Ive been waitingThe longest timeStrong in faithBut heavy in heartI know it get a whole lot betterAfter you beginTo blow soulful windSoulful wind will cause the lionTo lay down with the doveAnd the world to filledWith a powerful loveSo Ill be waitingAnticipating sure and certainIts gonna blow soulful windSoulful wind will cause the lionTo lay down with the doveAnd the world to filledWith a powerful loveSo Ill be waiting waiting waitingAnticipating sure and certainIts gonna blowBlow blow blowBlow soulful wind

Q: What Lack of Love Has Done

Well I go around the worldAnd this is what I doI say loves a hurting thingcause I know it to be trueWhen I get up in the spotlightAnd my story has begunI try to explainWhat lack of love has doneAnd though I do it nightlyIt never is the sameFor its a never ending storyOf jealousy and blameI know what youre sayingThat Im on the runBut theres nowhere to runFrom what lack of love has doneI go around the worldAnd this is what I doI climb up on a stageAnd I tell them about youI try to keep it shortI dont want it to go onSo youll sympathizeAfter its been toldWell I hear what youre sayingThat Im on the runBut theres nowhere to runFrom what lack of love has doneNo theres nowhere to runFrom what lack of love has doneWhat lack of love has doneWhat lack of love has doneWhat lack of love has done
