Lyrics

comin' around

hiding in the shadows. haven’t show my face
i been laying low & sulking, gone without a trace
underground, hunkered down below

‘cause you broke my spirit, baby. laid me out real good
i liked to drown in my own misery. lost and misunderstood
I’ve been staring at my ceiling, feeling sorry for myself

it’s time to face unafraid
the rain falling down
sunshine will peak through the clouds, yes it will
there’ll a song in my heart, a beautiful sound
looks like i’m coming around

if there’s a method to this madness
i don’t know what it is.
‘cause i’m as lonely as a widow
sadder than a whippoorwill.
and i’ve been drinking like a sailor
cryin’ like a little girl.

until i face unafraid
the rain falling down
sunshine will peak through these clouds
there’ll a song in my heart, a beautiful sound
looks like, i know it looks like, it looks like i’m coming around, now.

i finally see it, i’m on my way.
i’m feeling alive. it’s a brand new day.

to i face unafraid
the rain falling down
sunshine will peak through these clouds. i know it will
there’ll a song in my heart, a beautiful sound
looks like, baby it looks like, it looks like
i’m coming around

fallin'

on the road i dial your number on the phone
i can hear you’re not alone
why should i care?

just good friends. i know that’s all we’ve ever been.
still, knowing that you’re there with him
breaks my heart.

so i’m staring out my window, baby
wondering if he’s loving you tonight

fallin. i can’t believe i’m fallin’
fallin’ for you now...

confide in me. show me secrets no one else can see.
‘cause, lately when you smile at me
it melts my heart

do i pretend, we’re nothing more than the best of friends
or do i bare my soul
and risk it all?

maybe you’re staring out your window, baby
watching the same shooting star go by, and

fallin. i can’t believe i’m fallin’
fallin’ for you now... yes i’m
fallin’. catch me ‘cause i’m fallin’, baby.
fallin for you now . . . for you now

spinning through the darkness i’m
wondering how this happened i
never meant to go this far
when you look at me i
feel no gravity
like a shooting star

I’m fallin. i can’t believe i’m fallin’ for you
fallin’ for you now... yes i’m
fallin’. catch me ‘cause i’m fallin’
fallin for you now . . .

i got it bad

well i can’t sleep and i can’t eat.
i’m confused. i can’t concentrate.
now some might say that i’m obsessed.
it could be true. hell, i’m a mess.

i don’t feel right, now that’s for sure
and it ain’t no cold or flu
yea all i do is think about you.
what’s a boy to do?

i got it bad.
i got it bad.
oh yea, i got it bad.

at night i dream, that i catch you crying.
so i hold you, and dry your eyes.
then you say you’ll love me, ‘til the end of time.
but when i wake up, you’re still not mine.

i don’t feel right, now that’s for sure
but it ain’t no cold or flu
all i do is dream about you.
what’s a boy to do?

i got it bad.
i got it bad.
that’s right now, yea i got it bad.

just the other day i felt secure. so i called you on the phone.
i got the nerve to tell you how i feel. but i could hear you weren’t alone . . .

i got it bad

yea i’m tongue tied, when i’m in your stare.
but i can’t shut up, darlin’, when you’re not there.
yea all my friends, are sick and tired
of hearing ‘bout you, and my desire.

all i do is talk about you
what’s a boy to do?

turn me loose

up all night drinking with my friends
trying to forget the things we said
i just can’t drink you off my mind
i think it’s time, you . . .

turn me loose, set me free now, baby
i’m in too deep. you’ve got a hold on my

all my friends say, ‘what’s the matter with you?’
can’t you see the thing is through?
it’s time to grow up and be a man.”
i don’t think i can. unless you…

turn me loose. set me free
i’m in too deep. you’ve got a spell on me
i’m hypnotized
you touched my soul,
you gotta let me go

you said goodbye and walked away
but in my heart’s where i’m afraid you’ll stay

it might sound crazy, but i just ain’t right.
i thought i saw you downtown last night.
so i ran through the crowd like a fool on a dare
to find you weren’t there, to…

turn me loose. you gotta set me free
i’m in so deep. you gotta hold on me.
you gotta turn me loose. let me go
i see your smile now baby, everywhere i go

i’m hypnotized
you touched my soul
you gotta let me go

let me go darlin’
set me free . . . .
turn me loose

why me

i'll never own a mansion
and that don't bother me
i don't have much ambition
i don't have much money

i ain't all that to look at
just an ordinary guy
i can't figure out
what keeps you by my side

now, it's no secret
you know who i am
i stay out late, i drink too much
i'm just a simple man

i'll never buy you diamonds
with these songs i write for free
so tell me
what is it that you see?

(why me?)
i'm no angel, baby
(why me?)
i'm no knight in shining armor
you could do a lot better baby
why me

i stare at my reflection
in a mirror on the wall
as i count a hundred reasons, why
if i were you, i'd be gone

sometimes at night i watch you
just sleeping like a child
so beautiful,
how could you be mine?

(why me?)
i'm no angel, baby
(why me?)
i'm no knight in shining armor
you could do a lot better baby
why me

i woke to rain this morning
and a cold chill froze my bones
i dreamt you found another
and my heart turned into stone...
why me…
