You Lie Down With Dogs.

(Parsons/Woolfson)

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.

I'd Rather Be A Man.

(Parsons/Woolfson)

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.

You Won't Be There.

(Parsons/Woolfson)

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.

Winding Me up.

(Parsons/Woolfson)

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.

Damned If I Do.

(Parsons/Woolfson)

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.

Don't Hold Back.

(Parsons/Woolfson)

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.

Secret Garden.

(Parsons/Woolfson)

Instrumental.

If I Could Change Your Mind.

(Parsons/Woolfson)

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
