Fix A Woman 04:25
Well, I can see that you’re confused, looks like you’re carrying a load You thought that love was like the ocean, but it’s a dusty, gravel road It’s like you’re stuck inside a riddle from the moment you are born There’s no reprieve & no acquittal until the final curtain’s drawn Every woman is a mystery, a buried treasure to behold And a good one takes no shit, she won’t be bought she won’t be sold Well every treasure holds a secret, & every secret has a clue If it’s any consolation, you get to have your secrets too Never try to fix a woman, she don’t need your advice She just wants a man to listen, take her dancing, treat her nice Well, it’s a law of human nature, and it’s a fact you need know When you try to fix a woman, you end up on your own I can see you still got questions, this ain’t a mountain you can climb But like any good Investment you need patience, luck & time Keep it simple & be honest, man lying is for fools Cause when a woman’s trust is broken there ain’t no fixing it with tools Never try to fix a woman, she don’t need your advice She just wants a man to listen, take her dancing, treat her nice Yeah it’s a law of human nature, and it’s a fact you need know When you try to fix a woman, you end up on your own When she asks you what you’re feeling, don’t reply with what you think And if you’re gonna to raise your voice never do it when you drink You gotta give her some attention, a little more than you expect She don’t want special treatment, she just wants your respect I hope you listen to my warning, I hope you memorise this song Don’t ever wait until the morning to admit that you were wrong You know it’s really pretty simple, there are rules you cannot bend Don’t ever side with your own mother, don’t ever try to fuck her friends Never try to fix a woman, she don’t need your advice She just wants her man to listen, take her dancing, treat her nice It’s not a trap, it’s human nature, & it’s a fact you need know When you try to fix a woman, you end up on your own Never try to fix a woman, she don’t need your GOOD advice She just wants her man to listen, take her dancing, treat her nice Yeah I had to learn the hard way, it ain’t something you just know When you try to fix a woman, you end up on your own If you try to fix a woman, you l end up on your own I tried to fix a woman, and that’s why I’m alone

I think I preferred it when I didn’t know Who you’ve been seeing and where you’ve been going I think I preferred it when you would just lie When you’d turn your head when I kissed you goodbye And I’ve tried defend how it ended it But I won’t pretend that I didn’t cry It’s dark over here on my side of the stage But you’ve tortured me all night long Of course, you can dance with whoever you want now But baby, that was our song I think I preferred it when you stayed away When I could just listen, relax & just play I think I preferred it when nobody knew And shame was the only thing getting us through I should be surprised, but only the wise Know how to let sleeping dogs lie It’s dark over here on my side of the stage But you’ve tortured me all night long Of course, you can dance with whoever you want now But baby, that was our song I see you glancing from over his shoulder Has anyone’s heart has ever run colder? What turns a love into something you don’t recognise? I think I prefer it now that there's space And, I don’t need to hide when I feel out of place I think I prefer it now that I’m alone And no-one reminds me what I should’ve known It’s dark over here on my side of the stage But you’ve tortured me all night long Of course, you can dance with whoever you choose I’m jaded & angry, I should be amused! Sure, I can dance with whoever I want now But baby, that was our song I think I preferred it when I didn’t know Who you’ve been seeing and where you’ve been going

Shuffling through the rain, heading to the train Where I pack myself like a baked bean in a can If you ask me I can tell you what I do and where I’ve been But, I don’t think I can tell you who I am And I don’t know why I do this anymore Why I always put the dried-up pen Straight back in the drawer Why my head thinks I’m an angel When my heart knows I’m a whore No, I don’t know why I do this anymore Now Traffic is insane, I’m running late again Seems nothing ever goes the way we plan I don’t feel the need to win, but the fix is finally in The game was rigged before we all began And I don’t know why I do this anymore Why I say that I’m not playin’ Then I secretly keep score Why my head thinks I’m an angel When my heart knows I’m a whore No, I don’t know why I do this anymore And, so I don’t know how to quell the contradictions And I don’t know when or how to ask for help Maybe I’m just asking the wrong questions? If I don’t know what the problem is, I don’t know who to tell I double park my car and I load into the bar I shout into the mic for a couple hours All my friends still think I’m broke And I reek of beer & smoke Never been so grateful for a shower And I don’t know why I do this anymore Why I hope this song is different ‘Though it’s easy to ignore Why my head thinks I’m an angel When my heart knows I’m a whore No, I don’t know why I do this anymore

We Know Love 03:28
No-one shows you how to be useful But, we all crave that We’re all told to be honest & peaceful But no-one feels that They say love is thunder & lightning Sparks & igniting We know love is stubbornly patient Quietly discontent We both say things bitter & careless But we don’t know why We know blame is selfish & reckless But we both still try They say love is passion & chasing Fearless embracing We know love is subtle & distant Quietly discontent We both pay the price of resistance But we still won’t let go We both feel that cavernous distance But we still won’t let, let the other know They say love is instant & perfect Honour & respect We know love don’t always feel worth it It’s quietly discontent

How long have you waited for me? How long have I waited for you? When I’m all alone tonight Only you can make it right How long have I waited for you? How long were you searching for me? How long was I searching for you? When I’m all alone tonight Only you can make it right How long have I waited for you? Now you’re here You’re the only voice I hear Sing to me my love Sing to me my love How long have you waited for me? How long have I waited for you? When I’m all alone tonight Only you can make it right How long have I waited? How long have I waited? How long have I waited for you?

You won’t believe the wicked things I’ve said With this tongue, with this tongue You won’t believe the wicked things I’ve done With these hands, with these hands You’re not fooling me, And I’m not fooling you Everyone can see you’ve been wicked too You won’t believe the wicked things I’ve felt With my heart, with my heart You won’t believe the wicked things I’ve held In my arms, in my arms You’re not fooling me, And I’m not fooling you Everyone can see you’ve been wicked too There’s a monster in everyone That we must learn to feed There’s no refuge for anyone You will always fight to tame its greed You won’t believe the wicked things I see When you cry, when you cry You won’t believe the wicked things I hear When you sigh, when you sigh You’re not fooling me, And I’m not fooling you Everyone can see you’ve been wicked too You’ve been wicked too You’ve been wicked too

Not long ago, I was sleeping alone I shared nothing with no-one & I didn’t care How could I know, how much I would grow? And that life before you simply couldn’t compare I used to think most folks were crazy Now we both know I was right It’s not just a piece of paper Though, to some it just don’t mean a thing I hope that you’ll sign it sooner than later Let the dancing begin, Yeah, I know It’s not just a ring Before I met you, my heart was subdued I gave up & pretended that I didn’t care But a man without nerve gets what he deserves He thinks luck is the reason that life isn’t fair I used to think most folks were lazy Now we both know they’re just tired It’s not just a piece of paper Though, to some it just don’t mean a thing I hope that you’ll sign it sooner than later Let the dancing begin, Yeah, I know It’s not just a ring Some say they don’t’ see the difference It’s all just the same as before But you and I know that change can be slow And that’s not what a promise is for It’s not just a piece of paper Though, to some it just don’t mean a thing I hope that you’ll sign it sooner than later Let the dancing begin Let the dancing begin Let the dancing begin, Yeah, I know... It’s not just a ring
