blind spot
i got a blind spot when it comes to you
i can’t see all the things that you’re up to
makin’ a fool of me, running ‘round with my friends
cause I got a blind spot, can’t see the loose ends
i’m finding all this evidence that points to your misdeeds
you tell me that i’m crazy, then i see you out with Steve
i got a blind spot
i got a blind spot, baby look the other way
you know I finally took a look back, see what’s going down
some fella back there trying to rev you up, try to pass me get around
i’m finding all this evidence that points to your misdeeds
you tell me that i’m crazy, then i see you out with Steve
i’m finding all this evidence that points to your misdeeds
you tell me that i’m crazy, then i see you out with Steve
you got a blind spot, when it comes to me
you’ve got a blind spot, baby, you know, you can’t see
i’ve been watching you, finally figure it out,
just what all your little trips were all about
you got a blind spot, baby

get up
it’s time to get up, stop sitting around
it’s time to give up on feeling down
you’re making yourself go crazy, always wanna be so down
gotta stop feeling so hazy, get up and get around
it’s time to get up
it’s time to get in a better frame of mind
it’s time to give in, and live a better life
you’re making yourself go crazy, always wanna be so down
gotta stop feeling so hazy, get up and it’s time to get around
it’s time to get up and see what it means, to move your body like you should, stand up and see
it’s time to let go, and have a better time, stop hanging out with people who aren’t good for your mind
you gotta feel something better, come be next to me
right here by me baby, i’m asking you please
it’s time to get up, stop sitting around
it’s time to give up on feeling down
you’re making yourself go crazy, always wanna be so down
gotta stop feeling so hazy, get up and get around

fold or lose
i've been thinking about everything you said,
and i believe every word is true
but, it's nothing i haven't heard a thousand times,
and it's nothing i'm gonna do
you see, people like me, we can't hold a job,
we can never pay our dues
people like me, we can't win,
we can only fold or lose
you left the keys to the place on a big silver ring
you know what I'm gonna do
take the change from the box in the pepsi machine
i ain't gonna push this broom
buy me a drink and cut outa town,
i'll forget i did this to you
i don't mean to blame, or pass a judgement,
but you shoulda' known what i was gonna do
there's a hole in my life that the liquor goes in,
nothing else seems to fill
i know wrong from right, i wanna be good,
but i just don't have the will
sometimes you wanna get out in the night
sometimes you wanna get high
sometimes you wanna get on with your life
and well, sometimes you wanna die
the nuns used to say i'd be a good boy someday
but that time musta came and went
the future's wide open, a road to go down,
and the money is already spent

you got a sweet little smile
you got a nice way of talking
stay here with me for a while
baby I know you’re not a fool, but you messed my mind up good,
tell me what can i do
i got a box full of crackers
i got some cheese and some wine
i got a picnic blanket
baby just give me some time
wanna take you out dancing
wanna stay up all night
i wanna play with you baby
sugah, you’re driving me wild
baby i know you’re not a fool,
but you messed my mind up good,
tell me what can i do
you got the heart of an angel
brings out the devil in me
i wanna be with you baby
you’re doing something to me
don’t break my heart now baby
don’t make a monkey of me
i beg you now, be with me baby,
you gotta stop killing me.

lucid Interval
did you have a lucid interval and finally speak the truth
did you kick the doors open wide and see something new
do you think that you could be that kind of person now
you say you will but i’m in doubt, i have a feeling somehow
do you think you’re clear enough to open up to me now
do you see the world around or are you in and out
do you think that you could stop the drinking just today
you say you’re through, but i bet you got something left to lose
this is your moment to change your way
this is your time today
only you can take those steps
this is your time today
do you want a second chance to open up your eyes
do you want a helping hand to give up on the lie
do you think you could be that kinda person now
you have to want, you have to try, only you can find out
this is your moment to change your way
this is your time today
only you can take those steps
this is your time today
this is your moment to change your way
this is your time today
only you can take those steps
this is your time today

move on
what matters to you has nothing to do
with the words that you say
no, it’s never that way we planned how this would be,
you suit yourself, there is no we
in what you do,
because it’s all about you
i made up my mind to make a new start
and be somewhere else, break it apart
I’m through with all this wasted time
i really just need some peace of mind
i can count on you
to wreck my life too
do you think it’s a game
do you give a damn about anything you say,
anything you think or feel that way
you let us down, i can’t have you around
i made up my mind to make a new start
and be somewhere else, break it apart
I’m through with all this wasted time
i really just need some peace of mind
don’t drag me down
don’t get in my way
nothing more to do,
nothing more to say what you will
i don’t give a damn
we’re going nowhere, because of your plan
you selfish fool
now it’s all through
i made up my mind to make a new start
and be somewhere else, break it apart
i’m through with all this wasted time
i really just need some peace of mind
it’s time to move on,
it’s time you were gone
i got things to do
and i’m done with you

who's gonna want you

who’s gonna want you
secret stares and hidden glances
taking all these little chance
pretend we have a special pact
committing all these filthy acts
but i’ve seen the life you lead
and heard about these dirty deeds
sneaking ‘round in hotel rooms
late at night and afternoons
who’s gonna want you now
after all this runnin’ round
don’t even have to put you down
you know that you’re the talk of this town
you don’t have to say a thing
you don’t even feel the shame
go ahead and take what you can
just remember, I’m not your man
who’s gonna want you now
after all this runnin’ round
don’t even have to put you down
you know that you’re the talk of this town
you made your bed and had your fun
i know I’m not the only one
just another guy you used
but i’m not gonna sing the blues
you were my special friend
but now we’re at the end
you know you can’t break my heart
you already took it apart
i guess i should have known with you
the kind of things you’d get up to
you say you want to be someone
what lies you tell to everyone
who’s gonna want you now
after all this runnin’ round
don’t even have to put you down
you know that you’re the talk of this town

on a mission
you know i can’t help myself, i’m just a terrible mess
you shouldn’t have come out here, wearing that little black dress
the way you're moving baby's really bothering me
i can’t stop looking at you, come be next to me
i’m on a mission tonight, i gotta get myself over to you
you’re making my heart all aflutter, tell me how can i talk to you
you see, i can’t get over, baby i’m playing tonight
you must think that i’m crazy, but honey i got nothing to hide
the way you make those eyes at me, please wait ‘til the end
don’t be a little heartbreaker, don’t tell me you got a boyfriend
i’m on a mission tonight, i gotta get myself over to you
you’re making my heart all aflutter, tell me how can i talk to you
it all has to slow down, all these other guys around
please don’t let them dance with you
i don’t even know your name, but i don’t think it’s a game
we connected, that much is true
i’m on a mission tonight, i gotta get myself over to you
you’re making my heart all aflutter, tell me how can i talk to you
just wait a minute now, baby, i see you starting to leave
you know i can’t help myself, i’ve got some tricks up my sleeve
i'm coming over to you, now, let me take your hands
i’ve got to be your man
now baby, give me a chance

get your mind right
are you feeling all right
nothing bothering in your head
do you wanna have a good life
and live it up before you’re dead
you better get your mind right
don’t let the people get you down
you gotta step into the bright light
it’s not gonna come back around
do you think about things
does it keep you up at night
do you feel the weight it brings
do you feel a little fright
you better get your mind right
don’t let the people get you down
you gotta step into the bright light
it’s not gonna come back around
'cause this is the time that you have
this is the life you will live
this is the moment you’re breathing
baby It’s all that you have
so find your purpose and meaning
so find your happy place
make someone happy and healing
they will remember your name
you better get your mind right
don’t let the people get you down
you gotta step into the bright light
it’s not gonna come back around
