I want to pour out my heart but something stops me
Just my luck the words get stuck half way Now I'm trying to explain but nothing's working I can't find the words in time to help me Now I fear it's too late Past the point to resucitate our love Baby it's too clear how Only a miracle can save us now So Do You Have Any Miracles with you dear? Do You Have Any Miracles? I'm all out here Do You Have Any Miracles? Any Miracles? Any Miracles? I want to tell you how I feel - so sick and tired Of going through the motions you require And now the pain I feel inside is growing stronger I don't know if I can go much longer But maybe there's still a chance We can rescue a seed of our romance And maybe with a good fight And a miracle we'll be all right So Do You Have Any Miracles with you dear? Do You Have Any Miracles? I'm all out here Do You Have Any Miracles? Any Miracles? Any Miracles? I'm fading fast; I'm not gonna last I can see the light; I don't want to fight It won't be long before I'm gone Oh, can't you see? You're killing me Do, do you have any Miracles?... |

I went over to their house last Saturday night
She was good, he seemed satisfied Then he said, "When I'm alone will you call me on the phone?" "I've got a Secret I'm dying to tell you Keep it – I know I can trust you Leak it and she won't believe you." So I called when I knew she would be out I had to know what this was about But he said, "not on the phone! Will you meet me away from home?" "I've got a Secret I'm dying to tell you Keep it – I know I can trust you Leak it and she won't believe you anyway." So he told me in a hushed hush My jaw dropped, I blushed and downed a stiff drink then he asked me - "what do you think?" I couldn't believe it! Now... I've got a Secret I'm dying to tell you Keep it – I know I can trust you Leak it and she won't believe you. I've got a Secret I've got a Secret I've got a Secret You won't believe it You won't believe it anyway |

You call yourself a friend
But do you know how to be one? Pride is a sin And you’re so proud that you have none You think everyone is wrong Yet you’re the only one who can’t get along And everyone around know it by now You’re a jeckle and hyde Charming at first but twisted inside (you’re not what you think) Baby, don’t you know that you’re no… Good, Good Friend You’re no Good, Good Friend Whenever you’re around I feel I’m trapped in your warzone And if I make a sound I’ll set you off and you’ll explode And I will stand accused Of all of the crimes and lighting the fuse But everybody knows the countdown started long ago Want my advice? Cherish a friend who is willing to sacrifice (I’d gladly take the blow) For a friend but baby you’re no Good, Good Friend You’re no Good, Good Friend Good, Good Friend You’re no Good, Good Friend I know what a good friend is A good friend is there ‘til the end Good friends don’t have to pretend You are not what you think if you think you’re a Good Friend I called myself your friend I can’t say that it’s been fun So this is the end The last day I will be one Good, Good Friend You’re no Good, Good Friend Good, Good Friend You’re no Good, Good Friend I know what a good friend is A good friend is there ‘til the end Good friends don’t have to pretend You are not what you think if you think you’re a Good Friend |

$300 of clothing from Structure,
I even set foot in the Gap I posed for that picture you wanted with Santa sitting on his lap I fought through the traffic and crowds just to get there, it rained on my way home I sat on the sofa and played back the message you left on my Code-a-Phone You said you found somebody new You hoped we could be friends still And hoped it wouldn't ruin my Xmas cheer Chorus: Well, Merry Xmas, Merry Xmas, Merry Xmas to you Merry Xmas, Merry Xmas, Merry Xmas, screw you! I took back my presents and wished I could take back the time I spent on you Driving and shopping and wrapping and hoping you liked what I bought you And as I stood drowning my sorrows in cider and samples from Hickory Farms I wanted to hide when I saw you walk by with your new package on your arm I see you’ve found somebody new And no, we can’t be friends still I hope this doesn’t ruin your Xmas cheer Chorus I think she’s swell ‘Cause now I can tell What Santa means When you hear him sing… Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho Chorus |

I used to have this one girlfriend - her name was Jenny
We did everything together... When I wasn't over at her place we were talkin' on the telephone But now, but now, Jenny's never home! Jenny's Got a Boyfriend Jenny's Got a Boyfriend Jenny's Got a Boyfriend Well, I guess there are other girls...but none like Jenny A good girlfriend is hard to find! Like, Debby is kind of strange and Sarah moved to Chicago I can't believe Jenny would do this to me Chorus And she forgot about me Everybody's telling me it's only human nature and I would do the same to her sooner or later I would never, ever...oh ...OH, Jenny! I can only hope that he breaks her heart in two And she'll come running back to me And we can talk on the phone about how stupid boys are And things will be the way they were before Chorus and she forgot about me and she forgot about me and she forgot about me Oh Jenny!

Stevie always said that he was a lesbian
trapped within the body of a man Jennifer used to keep a collection of pencil points - why no one could understand Sometimes it's better just to leave it unexplained and to let the mystery remain Aren't we all Strange & Beautiful Yes, we are weird and wonderful Everyone Strange & Beautiful Strange & Beautiful Strange & Beautiful Debby doesn't like to walk through a doorway first or cause a scene unless it's well rehearsed Michael takes the labels off the cans he buys so when he eats, it's always a surprise Some people worry 'cause they think they don't fit in but nobody really does in the end Chorus Don't be afraid of who you are 'Cause we're all just who we are and who's to say what is normal anyway Stephanie's a hypochondriac so is Jeanine but twice as whacked Senorita - where to start with her that whole week is still a blur Jenny's dad was gonna fix up the farm he only hung a chandelier in the barn Jimmy says midgets freak him out he's over six six without a doubt Patti swears she has felt a ghost Johnny brags he can eat the most and Eddie, right before we hit quit the band why I never will understand but everybody wears their own shade of strange so don't change you're beautiful |

Cliques who never picked up a book
were telling you how to act and how to look I used to call them the " Cookie Cutter Crowd" You weren't cool if you got good grades or didn't drink, or smoke, or get laid but if you did you could go to their parties at the landfill! Now, the major cliques were the "skaters" and the "rebels" who were all the same except the rebels wore leather and the skaters had the "skateboarding's not a crime" bumperstickers But they all went to all the same parties... and I'm sure now they all work at Hardees still arguing over whether or not Ozzy is cool This was my Highschool - yeah yeah This was my Highschool - yeah, yeah Eighty dollars was taken from my purse during gym class one day, and to make matters worse the exact same thing happened the day before I had a feeling I knew who to blame I never confronted her though, and it's such a shame after all, she was soon to be somebody's mommy A friend of mine had his leather jacket stolen right out of his locker one monday morning... and he too thought he knew who'd done it later that week his suspicions were confirmed when to him the alleged theif turned and said, "Hey man, do you wanna buy a leather jacket?" Chorus I hated Highschool... The spanish teacher would hit on me and try to teach me "biology" between classes she always smelled like pot. (Regarding the come-on) "Uh...no thanks," I said, "but, the gym coach might be interested she's always trying to get me on her 'team'" Now, certain teachers of geometry and social studies periodically would be sighted partying with last year's grads. But the English teacher was a proper man who later changed - so I understand and shacked up with the principal's son. Chorus The Vice-principal approached me one day and said, "Get rid of that headband , OK?! We don't allow any fashion statements here!" I was like, what do you mean? Isn't everything you wear a fashion statement and not just your hair? I told him I thought it was a really silly rule But I remember later that year wearing a dress to class on day that was sheer with nothing underneath but a string bikini It's funny then he didn't seem to care and at every turn, guess who was there! Apparently he liked what he saw. Chorus I hated Highschool... |

It wouldn't have to be this hard
If it were written in the stars There comes a time when you just know Good-bye's the only way to go And I look back before I go on and try to figure out what went wrong I used to think it was giving up and that I wasn't trying hard enough but now I've been around long enough to know There's a difference between Giving Up & Letting Go I think I gave it my best shot I know I've given all I've got And though it hasn't happened yet I will look back without regret I hoped and prayed that it wouldn't turn out this way But it looks like fate had the final say I used to think it was giving up and that I wasn't trying hard enough but now I've been around long enough to know There's a difference between Giving Up & Letting Go |

Crying, no, but very close to And wishing things were how they used to be I know I shouldn't think about you and be content to live without you and let it be I keep fighting for direction In this world I helped create Would I've gotten just as lost had I left it up to fate Would I've kept my innocense and feared the naked truth Would I've lived a battered life Without you? Did I love the worn, torn rooms and the whispered words of life Did I love to touch with shaking hands Scars left my a knife Did I love all the things that taught me How to question why The passion and the drama and the way you made me cry Was it all of these things Or maybe none of the above Was I crazy, or just in love?

Baby all you have to do is tell me you have changed this time I keep losing my direction in this world I helped create I fear I've gotten lost and now I won't be able to escape But maybe I don't really want to and maybe when push comes to shove Maybe I'm not so crazy I'm just in love In Dilemma...
