Cosmopolitan

Im okay, youre okay
Why remember when it wasnt this way
See my home, see my car
And the beach always used to seem so far
And no one touches me
Unless its the way I want it to be
I know I read the right magazines
Im cosmopolitan
And I dont look back
Im alright, sleep at night
Used to lie awake listening to cats fight
See my hair, see my shoes
And I used to be scared of the dark too
And no one touches me
Unless its the way I want it to be
I know I read the right magazines
Im cosmopolitan
And I dont look back
Cosmopolitan
And no one touches me

Me & You

If I could be two places at one time
Id be with you
Ive lost my heart Im losing half my mind
But I dont care
Dont tell me dont ask me dont talk at all
Dont help me I dont know if I can stand
The bitter-sweetness of it all
I dont know I dont care dont even hear
What they all say
Theres no past theres no future and no fear
What can they do
Im helpless I cant talk or even stand
My heart wont start until I get from you
The look that says you love me too
Me and you against the world
Ive read the Bible and those books at school
But they dont make much sense of this
The finest minds are calling me a fool
But you destroy them with your kiss
Just one kiss

Tonight & Forever

You know youre gonna have to face up to the facts
Youre just another face in a big crowd
You know we gotta try hard to relax
We can laugh - but not too loud
Its never like you see in a magazine
And you dont even know what you mean to me
And I dont understand this feeling
But wanna be with you tonight
Tonight and forever
You drive me crazy and you say that youll never change
And I could never do what you want to
Dont you find this whole thing a little strange
I dont even know if I like you
Its never like you see on a movie screen
But theres something that you do to me
And Im not sure that I believe it
But I wanna be with you tonight
Tonight and forever

Me And You

If i could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
I've lost my heart i'm losing half my mind
But i don't care
Don't tell me don't ask me don't talk at all
Don't help me i don't know if i can stand
The bitter-sweetness of it all
I don't know i don't care don't even hear
What they all say
There's no past there's no future and no fear
What can they do
I'm helpless i can't talk or even stand
My heart won't start until i get from you
The look that says you love me too
Me and you against the world
I've read the bible and those books at school
But they don't make much sense of this
The finest minds are calling me a fool
But you destroy them with your kiss
Just one kiss

Not Here, Not Now

These words of love
So hard for me to find
How can I change my mind
If you can only lie?
These shattered dreams
I try to build again
But looks could kill again
And Im too young to die
Smiling faces all around us
You dont want to make a scene
Not here, not now
And I dont want to cry
We drink the wine
Like we were really friends
But can our sadness end
And words turn into play?
We dress so fine
And step out on the town
And friends may gather round
But soon will turn away

Target

Uptown - downtown
No ones fussy Im a target
Black, white - day, night
No ones fussy Im a target
Somebody say Im crazy
Walking in this neighborhood
Say you cant be too careful
But that wont do no good
Im no one special
But any part of town
Someone could smile at me then
Shake my hand then gun me down
Uptown - downtown
No ones fussy Im a target
Black, white - day, night
No ones fussy Im a target
Somebody say Im crazy
Living in this crazy town
I say maybe youre just lazy
Got to either swim or drown

Mad At You

When youre fixing your make-up
You know you take too long
And when you mix me a drink up
You know you mix it too strong
And when you fix me a breakfast
You know you fix it too late
With the wrong kind of egg-cup
And the wrong kind of plate
But honey look at your eyes
You got the innocent eyes
And now youre asking me why
Im mad at you
Mad at you
So come on whats your problem
You know well miss half the show
How come Im walking so fast
How come your walking so slow
After fixing your make-up
For an hour and a half
You say your new shoes are hurting

One To One

Tried to call you yesterday
But you were at the monday club
Or a communist demonstration
Who cares
Youre going somewere everyday
Vegetarians against the klan
Every woman against every man
Never
One to one
Whats wrong
Whats wrong with one to one
Just once
Just me and you
cause one to one is real
And you cant hide, just feel
That threes a crowd
I agree with what you say
But I dont wanna wear a badge
I dont wanna wave a banner like you
Though I dont mind it if you do

Ever After

Now that youre gone
Nothing is wrong
But everythings changed
Words in your hand
Do I set them in stone
Or throw them away
Now everything we did
Like photographs that always moved
(and that wasnt strange)
Now theyre in the can
Lets put them on a shelf
Lets put them in the ground
Theyll never move again
Ever after
Ever after
Ever after
Over and done
All of the fun
And all of the pain
Why dont I laugh

Goin Downtown

I could cool out
I couls hang loose
I could lay my head back in this comfortable noose
I could watch the paint dry
On these rented walls
Or I could run wild with the first wild thing that calls
Goin downtown . . . goin downtown
Goin downtown . . . to stand round and stare
And put people down for not being there
Goin downtown . . . and Ill see you there
But I saw you laugh
At that girl having fun
To show some emotion . . . just isnt done
You can look but dont touch
Thats as far as it goes
Youre only as good as the cut of your clothes
Goin downtown . . . goin downtown
Goin downtown . . . to stand round and stare
And put people down for not being there
Goin downtown . . . and Ill see you there
