I used to travel in the shadows
And I never found the nerve to try and walk up to you
But now I am a man and I know that there's no time to waste
There's too much to lose
Girl, you say anything at all, and you know that you can call
And I'll be right there for you
First love, heartbreak, tough luck, big mistake
What else can you do
I'll say anything you want to hear
I'll see everything through
I'll do anything I have to do
Just to win the love of a girl like you, a girl like you
People talk and people stare, tell them I don't really care
This is the place I should be
And if they think it's really strange for a girl like you
To be in love with someone like me
I want to tell them all to go to hell
That we're doing very well without them you see
That's just the way it is and they will see
I am yours and you are mine, the way it should be
And I never found the nerve to try and walk up to you
But now I am a man and I know that there's no time to waste
There's too much to lose
Girl, you say anything at all, and you know that you can call

I'll say anything you want to hear
I'll see everything through
I'll do anything I have to do
Just to win the love of a girl like you, a girl like you
A girl like you, oh yeah
Now if I seem a little wild, there's no holding back
I'm trying to get a message to you
I won't take anything from anyone
I won't walk and I won't run, I believe in you
London, Washington, anywhere you are I'll run
Together we'll be
Inside, outside, got my pride
I won't let 'em take you from me
I'll say anything you want to hear
I'll see everything through
I'll do anything I have to do
Just to win the love of a girl like you, a girl like you
A girl like you, a girl like you
A girl like you, a girl like you, oh yeah
I'll say anything (I'll say anything)
I'll take anything (I'll take anything)
I'll say anything, almost anything
Except goodbye

See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright
Then walk right out to the four line track
There's a camera rolling on her back
On her back
And I sense a rhythm humming in a frenzy
All the way down her spine
Heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright
Then walk right out to the four line track
There's a camera rolling on her back
On her back
And I sense a rhythm humming in a frenzy
All the way down her spine
Girls on film, girls on film
Girls on film, girls on film
Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling
And miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies
The diving man's coming up for air
'Cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair
By the hair
And she wonders how she ever got here
As she goes under again
Girls on film (two minutes later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (got your picture)
Girls on film
Wider, baby, smile and you've just made a million
Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire
Take one last glimpse into the night
I'm touching close, I'm holding bright
Holding tight
Give me shudders in a whisper
Take me up 'til I'm shooting a star
Girls on film (she's more than a lady)
Girls on film
Girls on film (two minutes later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (see you together)
Girls on film
Girls on film (see you later)
Girls on film

David, what?
Where are you at?
Well, let me roll up on to the sidewalk and take a look, yes
Whoa, she's beautiful
I'm talking about a Yankee Rose
And she looks wild, wild, wild, wild
Are you ready for the new sensation?
Well, here's the shot heard 'round the world
All you back room boys salute when her flag unfurls
Well, guess who's back in circulation?
Now, I don't know what you may have heard
But what I need right now's the original good time girl
She's a vision from coast to coast (coast to coast)
Sea to shining sea (sea to shining sea)
Hey sister, you're the perfect host (perfect host)
Show me your bright lights
In your city lights, alright
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose

Show me your bright lights
In your city lights, alright
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose
Bright lights in your city lights, alright
I'm talkin' 'bout it
When she walks, watch, the sparks will fly
Firecrackin' on the fourth of July
No sad songs tonight, something's in the air (it will be like cancer)
A real state of independence
So pretty when her rockets glare
Still provin' any night that her flag's still there
She's a vision from coast to coast (coast to coast)
Sea to shining sea (sea to shining sea)
Hey sister, you're the perfect host (make a toast)
Show me your bright lights
In your city lights, alright
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose
Bright lights in your city lights, alright
I'm in love with the Yankee Rose
Ah, she's beautiful, alright
Mmm, nothin' like her in the whole world
Yeah
She's right on time, I'm on the case
Pick up the phone, no time to waste
She got the beat
And here's a little bit comin' your way
Raise 'em up there, let's see who salutes, baby
Little bit, little bit, little bit higher
Here's the mast, swing 'em from here
I wanna get a little bit of apple pie, man
Bright lights, city lights
Bright lights, city lights

Too many teardrops for one heart to be crying
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on
You're way on top now since you left me
You're always laughing way down at me
But watch out now, I'm gonna get there
We'll be together for just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you way down here
And you'll start crying ninety-six tears
Cry, cry
And when the sun comes up, I'll be on top
You'll be right down there, looking up
And I might wave, come up here
But I don't see you waving now
I'm way down here, wondering how
I'm gonna get you but I know now
I'll just cry, cry, I'll just cry
Too many teardrops for one heart to be crying
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on
You're gonna cry ninety-six tears
You're gonna cry ninety-six tears
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry now
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
Ninety-six tears
Come on and let me hear you cry, now
Ninety-six tears, woo
I wanna hear you cry
Night and day, yeah, all night long
Uh, ninety-six tears, cry, cry, cry
Come on, baby, let me hear you cry now, all night long
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on
You're way on top now since you left me
You're always laughing way down at me
But watch out now, I'm gonna get there
We'll be together for just a little while

Fade away, fade away
Fade away, fade away
She looks out of her window
Only seeing her own reflection
Silent eyes that stare back to the distance
Water on the window pane distorts her pretty face
She feels that's what she looks like everyday
Looking down toward the floor
Back up through the window
She sighs a misty breath, a ghost without a haunting
Street light fills her empty room
Dark, cold and lonely
She goes back to her bed to try to sleep her nightmares away
Fade away, fade away
She looks out of her window
Only seeing her own reflection
Silent eyes that stare back to the distance
Water on the window pane distorts her pretty face
She feels that's what she looks like everyday
Looking down toward the floor
Back up through the window
She sighs a misty breath, a ghost without a haunting
Street light fills her empty room
Dark, cold and lonely
She goes back to her bed to try to sleep her nightmares away
She's gonna fade away
Fade away
She's gonna fade away
Fade away
Nightmares, they are recurring
Monsters she could turn and face
Scream at them with all her might
And see them die
One day she'll have the courage
To do what she wants to do
End a life of misery and for once be happy
She's gonna fade away
Fade away
She's gonna fade away
Fade away
She's gonna fade away
Fade away
She's gonna fade away
Fade away
She's gonna fade away
Fade away
Fade away
She's gonna fade away
Fade away
Nightmares, they are recurring
Monsters she could turn and face
Scream at them with all her might
And see them die
One day she'll have the courage

Fade away
She's gonna fade away
Fade away

Fade away
She's gonna fade away
Fade away

Sit there thinkin'
In your room
You feel the pressure
You're goin' crazy too
The walls around you
Closin' in
You need a change
Claustophobic
Feelin' scared
You need somebody
But no one seems to care
A one way ticket
A change of pace
You've had enough
Can't take no more
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains
In your room
You feel the pressure
You're goin' crazy too
The walls around you
Closin' in
You need a change
Claustophobic
Feelin' scared
You need somebody
But no one seems to care
A one way ticket
A change of pace
You've had enough
Can't take no more
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains
Got this letter
Came today
From my baby
Who left me yesterday
Said she loves me
She'll come back
She wants to try
I won't let her
She'll be upset
I know it's better
Than somethin' I'll regret
She'd been dishonest
And insincere
I lost my mind
20 times a year
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
Woke up today
I'm alone
I look around
But baby you were gone
But I don't mind
And I don't worry
I will survive
I'm alone
Now that you're gone
Don't need nobody
To hold or tie me down
I broke the chains
So let me be
I've gotta be free
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
Came today
From my baby
Who left me yesterday
Said she loves me
She'll come back
She wants to try
I won't let her
She'll be upset
I know it's better
Than somethin' I'll regret
She'd been dishonest
And insincere
I lost my mind
20 times a year
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
Woke up today
I'm alone
I look around
But baby you were gone
But I don't mind
And I don't worry
I will survive
I'm alone
Now that you're gone
Don't need nobody
To hold or tie me down
I broke the chains
So let me be
I've gotta be free
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
