Don't go changing, to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are.
Don't go changing, to try and please meYou never let me down before.
Don't wait for answers... Just take your chances!Don't ask me why.
And the word spread of Billy the Kid.
They all want your white body, and they await your reply.But, between you and me, and this Staten Island ferry... so do I...
I've only felt content a few times in my life, and it never lasted. I'm very discontented right now. There are situations in my life that didn't pan out. I'm like most other human beings. I try and I fail.
Some people sleep all alone every nightInstead of taking a lover to bedSome people find that it's easier to hateThan to wait anymore.
They showed you a statue and told you to prayThey built you a temple and locked you awayBut they never told you the price that you payFor things that you might have done.
They say there's a heaven for those who will wait. Some say it's better, but I say it ain't. I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. Sinners are much more fun...
They say that these are not the best of timesBut they're the only times I've ever knownAnd I believe there is a time for meditationIn cathedrals of our own.

There was a time in my life when I was drinking too much, and so I have stopped. It's an interesting concept. 'Just don't drink.' Hmm! I never thought of that!
They're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinking alone.
You've got your passion. You've got your pride.But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.
