June Afternoon

Didn't I tell you everything is possible in this deja vu?

Try the river boat, the carousel, feed the pigeons, Bar-B-Q.

Look at all the people, happy faces all around.

Smiling, throwing kisses, busy making lazy sounds

It's a bright June afternoon, it never gets dark.

Wah-wah! Here comes the sun.

Get your green, green tambourine, let's play in the park.

Wah-wah! Here comes the sun

Some folks are on blankets, slowly daydreaming

And reaching for their food.

Let's go buy an ice-cream and a magazine with an attitude

And put on a cassette, we can pretend that you're a star

Cos life's so very simple just like la-la-la

It's a bright June afternoon...

There's a painter painting his masterpiece.

There are some squirrels jumping in the trees,

There's a wide-eyed boy with a red balloon.

All my life i've longed for this afternoon.

 

You Don't Understand Me

I've been up all night, you've been puttin' up a fight.

Seems like nothin' I say gets through.

How did this old bed fit a world between me and you.

We said "Goodnight" but the silence was so thick

You could cut it with a knife.

We've hit the wall again and there's nothin' I can do.

You're the one, yea, i've put all my trust in your hands.

C'mon and look in my eyes, here I am, here I am

You don't understand me, my baby.

You don't seem to know that I need you so much.

You don't understand me, my feelings,

The reason I'm breathin', my love

The mornin' comes and you're reaching out for me

Just like everything's the same

And I let myself believe things are gonna change.

When you kiss my mouth and you hold my body close,

Do you wonder who's inside?

Maybe there's no way we could feel each other's pain.

Tell me why it gets harder to know where I stand.

I guess loneliness found a new friend, here I am

You don't understand me...

You don't seem to get me, my baby.

You don't really see that I live for your touch.

You don't understand me, my dreams or the things I believe in, my love.

You don't understand me. You don't understand me. Understand me.

 

Almost Unreal

Babe, come in from the cold and put that coat to rest.

Step inside, take a deep breath, and do what you do best.

Yes, kick off them shoes and leave those city streets.

I do believe love came our way, and fate did arrange for us to meet.

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.

The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.

You give me that look, it's almost unreal. It's almost unreal.

Hey, we can't stop the rain, let's find a place by the fire.

Sometimes I feel, strange as it seems,

You've been in my dreams all my life.

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.

The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.

You give me that look, it's almost unreal. It's almost unreal.

It's a crazy world out there. It's a crazy...

Let's hope our prayers are in good hands tonight.

Oh, I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.

The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.

You give me that look, it's almost unreal.

It's almost unreal, so unreal.

Yea come on and do the hocus pocus to me.

The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.

You give me that look, it's almost unreal. It's almost unreal, yea.

It's almost unreal. Do the hocus pocus to me. Do the hocus pocus...

 

She Doesn't Live Here Anymore

We grew up together, we've been here forever.

Barefoot in the summer, cold in stormy weather.

She taught me all there is, like magic and love,

Lots of forgotten words

But now, she doesn't live here anymore.

She's off and she's gone,

She doesn't live here anymore.

I'm sorry that's all there is to it,

I'm sorry that's all

She dressed just like a painter,

A female street Picasso

And I, I will remember the heaven in her laughter.

And the scent of her sweet perfume when we made love

Under an August moon

But now, she doesn't live here anymore.

She's off and she's gone,

She doesn't live here anymore.

She's gone since long, so long,

She doesn't live here anymore.

She took off and left home,

She doesn't live here anymore.

I'm sorry that's all there is to it,

I'm sorry that's all.

That's all.

 

I Don't Want To Get Hurt

In everything I see you appear with me,

How come? How come?

And everything I do involves you too.

We are like one.

In my life there has been so many changes

And I don't want to be left out in the rain

I don't want to get hurt,

I've done my time.

All I want from you is to tell the truth.

I don't want to get hurt no more this time.

I don't want to go blind and find

It's falling apart all the time

In the middle of a dream you are there for me,

Your face, your lips.

But there's no way you can tell cos

I hide it really well, so well.

In my life there has been loving and lying

And I don't need another reason to cry

I don't want to get hurt...

I don't want to go blind and

Find I'm falling apart one more time.
