A walk to remember
I'll always remember.
But it's only 'falsie' motion that I feel
But it's only false emotion that I feel
Could you cry a little?
And not just a little.
Could you cry a little?
Lie just a little.
Could you cry a little?
And not just the tittle.
Could you cry a little?
Lie just a little.
Could you cry a little?
Die just a little.
Could you cry a little?
Lie just a little.
I came, not wanting, nothing in return
I gave, now I want, something in return
I gave no money or something in return.
I gave, now I'm wanting something in return.
I gave no money
Somethin' in return.
I gave now I'm wanting
Somethin' in return.
I hear your goodbye.
I hear you're doing fine.
I hope that you are not Desmond Child.
I know that you are not a child.
I know you're chewing nut a child.
I know that you are not a child.
I promise, remember.
I'll always remember.
I'm talking in circles
I'm lying, they know it
Why won't this just stop for a wee
I'm talking in circles
I'm lying, they know it
Why won't this just all go away
If I had just won
If I had just one
If your love could be caged, honey I would hold the key
And conceal it underneath the pineapple tree.
If your love could be caged, honey I would hold the key
And conceal it underneath the pile of lies you handed me.
If your love could be caged, honey I would hold the key
And conceal it underneath the powdered glass you've given me
If you'd hunt your life - baby all you'd ever find
Would be all you'd have to know: you need to be mine
or
If you'd hunt those lights - baby all you'd ever find
That'd be all you'd have to know; you need to be thine.
If your love could be caged, honey I would hold the key
And conceal it underneath the pile of lies you handed me
And you'd hunt and those lies - they'd be all you'd ever find
And that'd be all you'd have to know for me to be fine.
The pile of lingerie under me
The pile of lies you handed me
The pot of lies you handed me.
The pile of lies you handed me.
You don't know what the sound is dawning.
or
You don't know what the sound is downing.
You don't know what the sound is, Darlin'.
You make me wanna fly
You make me wanna cry
You make me wanna fly
You make me wanna cry
