I'll wait right here, backstage to the side 'Cause when you press those keys, I feel so alive She made no sounds, and spoke with her eyes said "fame doesn't want you, so neither do I" Oh would you look at him, he's in the biz But I don't care who your boyfriend is, Sarah And if he looks at me, I'll watch my shoes And if it makes you smile I'll play it cool I'll wait right here, and I'll form a line I'll take a number and waste all your time Oh would you look at him, he's in the biz But I don't care who your boyfriend is, Sarah And if you look at me, I'll watch my shoes And if it makes you smile I'll play it cool "You're just a drunk you're not sentimental, You're saying things that you don't mean at all" I'm just a drunk, so sentimental But you don't like me at all You don't want me at all Oh you don't like me, yeah. Oh would you look at him, he's in the biz But I don't care who your boyfriend is, Sarah. Oh would you look at him, he's in the biz But I don't care who your boyfriend is, Sarah No I don't care who he is No I don't care who he is No I don't care who he is

Oh don't you worry 'bout a thing 'Cause I'll be back again next week And you can play games with me then And look at me instead of speaking Tell your boyfriend that I'm trouble Because you wanna see me beat And I'll say "sorry" and look up to him As I lay down upon the street Now babe just looks the other way To make me think that she don't want to Can see she's up to it again Oh you're just trying to make me want you I see there's nothing more to say Oh won't you finish what you've started You better start walking my way Or else I'll leave you broken hearted I shattered your heart I pulled you apart I shattered your heart I hate a fresh start But you've made it your art I shattered your heart She's got a guy but she's with me And though she thinks that I don't know her But now I feel so damn guilty I'll close my eyes until it's over She twirls her fingers in her hair To make it known that we are through Makes all the boys weak at the knees Though she's halfway across the room I shattered your heart I pulled you apart I shattered your heart I hate a fresh start But you've made it your art I shattered your heart

Cindy 03:14
Cindy, what are you doing to me? Cindy, you barely even know me Cindy, when are you going to sleep? Cindy, you've got your chance now show me You can hold me down but just don't hurt me now, Cindy You can hold me down but just don't hurt me now, Cindy I'm tired of hanging around with your friends You're fired, I've hired Nancy N. Nancy, what are you doing to me? Nancy, you wanna get to know me? You can hold me down but just don't hurt me now, Nancy. You can hold me down but just don't hurt me now, Nancy. You can hold me down but just don't hurt me now, Cindy. You can call me sleaze, but you know what I need, Cindy.

The One 02:21
I wanted a minute, she gave me four seconds I told a joke and got a life lesson It's just a game, Bobby's little shame She's gonna leave with him just the same The other day, it did not mean much A cold shoulder is all you know It's just a game, Bobby's little shame She's gonna leave with him just the same I don't wanna see you Don't wanna see you I just don't know, I just won't be there 'cause I'm not the one, I'm not the one

Verse: So, what's your point this time? He'd rather do than write some lines? Well it's no secret it's that way And she's gonna know now That he loves the ring of "rich man's drug" And how it fits with everything he wants to be And she's gonna know now That it's worse than before Counting lies and keeping score "You'll never make it with this dream, you're not eighteen anymore" Chorus: It's been and gone, there's nothing wrong Except it's taken me all day To write you priceless songs, she said "so long" And now there's nothing more to say It's a "one, two, three I'm on my knees and I'm asking if you'll stay" She did a "one, two, three" a "one, two, three", and then a "one, two" then walked away Verse: Now he sleeps on his mate's couch In fear they'll kick him out "Oh all the things I could have been" And she don't wanna know now The sweet things that he said About an extra space in bed Or how the place she sleeps tonight Is all alone in his head Chorus: It's been and gone, there's nothing wrong Except it's taken me all day To write you priceless songs, she said "so long" And now there's nothing more to say It's a "one, two, three I'm on my knees and I'm asking if you'll stay" She did a "one, two, three" a "one, two, three", and then a "one, two" then walked away She did a "one, two, three" a "one, two, three", and then a "one, two" then walked away She did a "one, two, three" A "one, two, one two" "One, two...."
