Now and You

Well in this world, girl,
There's only one girl
That I want to be forever mine.

And to my eyes, girl,
It's no surprise girl
You're getting prettier all the time.

Words like love go round and round
In my head when I see you.
I can think of nothing else all day.
It's all those things you do
And all those ones I want you to.
Everything we've done just fades away.

Now and you, my lovely.

Cloudbursts break and mountains shake
Inside me when I see you.
Every day is like a holiday.
It's only just that you
Are the only one that'll ever do.
All we've got is now, girl, anyway.

Change Your Mind

You never see things the way I do.
You never question anything, oh no.
You swallow everything they tell you.
Change your mind.

Everything you do is so right
And everybody else is wrong, oh no.
You've got to save yourself alright.
Change your mind.

Even by the falling of water-drops
A water-pot is filled.
One by one.
Little by little.
Bit by bit.

Another century is over.
Man, you should get your ass in gear, oh yeah.
Just watch your breath and pay attention and
Change your mind.

Crazy Girl

My tongue got tied
when I thought of
all the little things
I wish I'd said
And I could have died
when I said some-
thing stupid and
my face got red.

Oh my, what will I ever do?
Cause I go crazy girl for you.

Heard you dropped on by--
I was laughing
at your letter and
I shook my head
And I could have cried--
if only you had
been a minute
more instead.

Oh I don't want to be so blue,
But I go crazy girl for you.

I Even Love You More Than Elizabeth Hurley

Was that you girl on a Saturday night?
You know I had a wet dream of you.
I was thinking that you're so out of sight
Despite the fact that you're in my view.

And it's true--
No one could love you like I do.
So listen when I'm telling you
I even love you more than Elizabeth Hurley.

Was that you girl who was looking so good
When you boarded at Logan Square?
Ooh that was you girl turning me into wood
The way you smiled when you combed your hair.

And it's you--
But you've got everything but a clue.
You're all I ever wanna do.
I even love you more than Elizabeth Hurley.

Heartbreak

Heartbreak--
Can't you hear my heart break baby in two?
Heartbreak--
Girl I'm never gonna get over you.

When first my heart went weak
You know it only barely beat.
I'm losing it.
I'm shaking from my head to my feet.

Heartbreak--
Can't you hear my heart break baby in two?
Heartbreak--
Girl I'm never gonna get over you.

It went lubb-dupp before,
But now it's all over the floor.
I'm bluesing it.
Why do I have to keep living for?

Something About That Girl

There's something about that girl
That drives me mad.
There's something about that girl
That makes me glad I'm alive.
I love it when she tells me
That she loves me and
She's holding me tight.

There's something about that girl.
I love her so.
There's something about that girl
That lets me know I'm her guy.
I love it when she's looking
In my eyes I get
As high as a kite.

There's something about that girl
All over me.
There's something about that girl
That makes me febrile inside.
I love it when she tells me
That she loves me get
As high as a kite.

D and Me

Take a look around you girl,
There's nothing much to see.
Not much going on round here,
Just you and little D and me.

On my shelf a picture, girl,
Of city scenery:
A picture that you took in Lincoln Park
Of Johnny D and me.

He got groovy shades it's cool
He says and I believe that
I can hang in there if I know
You are here with D and me.

New Wave

I'm hearing that you're feeling bad.
I'm really really feeling sad
That you're feeling bad.

Someone said you were feeling blue
But I don't want to be down, too,
Because you're feeling blue.

Well break out--
Baby come on.
I'm on a new wave.
Oh baby come on.

I heard that you were sadder than sad.
Well I say that's a passing fad
That you're so so sad.

Someone said you were feeling blue.
Bluer than a blue suede shoe
In a sky of blue.

Well break out--
Baby come on.
I'm on a new wave.
Oh baby come on.

My Love in Her Attire

My love in her attire does show her wit;
It does so become her, this is true.
For every season she has dressings fit.
For winter, spring, and summer too.

No beauty does she miss
When all her clothes are on,
But Beauty's self she is
When all her clothes are gone.

My love in her black dress is such a hit;
It does so become her, what a view!
In every color she has dressings fit.
In red and green and purple too.

No beauty does she miss
When all her clothes are on,
But Beauty's self she is
When all her clothes are gone.

Forget You

You used to make me raving glad.
But now you've got me raging mad.
My love for you was too damn true.
I think I might've went way too wild over you.

Why would you do those things to me?
I loved you girl, you see.

You used to get me going good.
You made me baby like a lover should.
My love for you was an old blind foo'.
I'd rather be that cat that you snuck off to.

How could you do those things to me?
I loved you girl, you see.

And now I'm standing in the pouring rain.
I'm gonna cop a lonely seat on the very next train.

Why was I so goddam naive?
Forget you girl.
Forget you girl.

Space Cadet

Well she's not my
kind of girl
not anyway.

If you're thinking
that I'm leaving you
for a runaway,

Well she doesn't
look at me
in that familiar way.

It's just the things she says to me--
They blow my mind away.
A space cadet friend of mine
A million miles away.
She's just a space cadet friend of mine.

She's today.
She's tomorrow.
She's yesterday.

She's her own
lovely daughter
who's lost her way.

All she needs is
love and care
and a rolling tray.

It's just the things she says to me--
They blow my mind away.
A space cadet friend of mine
A million miles away.
She's just a space cadet friend of mine.

Uneasy

You've been saying too many
Things behind my back.
You've been cutting and slashing
Like a ripper jack.

You better think little girl
better think right
now what you're gonna do
Cause girl you're making me uneasy.

You've been hitting me girl
With your verbal attack.
Little tape-recorder friends have
Been playing you back.

You better stop turn around
little girl better tell
me what you wanna do
Cause girl you're making me uneasy.

You've been hitting me girl
With your verbal attack.
Little tape-recorder mouths have
Been playing you back.

Her or Nothing

Girl you keep blowing in my ear:
A wind I cannot help but hear.
You keep making me want to say
Your place or mine, girl, you
Ought to know just this one thing.

If I tell you that I love it,
Girl don't think a thing of it--
It's her or nothing, girl, for me.

Beautiful girl, why must you be
Making those goo-goo eyes at me?
Hands keep telling me to worry
About it later but my
Heart keeps beating no no no.

If I tell you that I love it,
Girl don't think a thing of it--
It's her or nothing, can't you see?

Me and You Not on the Radio

Oh Julie,
You're truly for me.
It's you that I'm thinking of
Before and during and after whatever.
It's not just another tune
It's just another way to tell you I love you forever.

I'm singing all of my love to you Julie
And I don't give a shit if it sells or it don't.
I'm tired of asking why nobody wants to buy. It's just
Me and you not on the radio.

Oh Julie,
Speak truly to me.
Will it kill you if your Romeo
Never sings your name on the airwaves? Not ever?
And do you think it matters if
We never get our names in the papers together?

I always wanted to be like John Lennon
Singing songs about my girl on the radio,
But now I'm getting older and it's maybe gonna have to be
Me and you not on the radio.
