Born No Good 03:33
I was born no good Knew it as a baby child Left out in the cold Alone and hungry I just ended up running wild I grew up angry and I grew up mean And I grew up feeling mad Seemed my life was always empty Trouble was all I had When you don’t know how to love And you don’t know how to feel You don’t give in to no one And you take what you can steal So finally they tried to teach me Told me not to break the rules Said, "You gotta work hard if you wanna be something" But I told them, "You’re a bunch of fools" Cos I was born no good And maybe I’m going nowhere And maybe my life’s not worth the trouble And maybe I just don’t care Cos I was born no good And nobody’s who I am And maybe I’ll never amount to nothing And maybe I don’t give a damn

I know you’re busy, thought I’d drop you a line Just had a visit from an old friend of mine He called to tell me what I already knew We’ve got some old unfinished business to do Just got time to reload And then I’m back on the road So goodbye, I hope to see you around My feet, they won’t be touching the ground Cos once I’m moving then I’m not gonna stop You won’t believe it and your jaw’s gonna drop When you see me explode I’m going back on the road So long and take good care of yourself You know I love you and there’s nobody else But if you want me then I know that you’ll wait I’ve got to go now before it’s too late To collect what I’m owed I’m going back on the road

Oh my, you look so sad Is it just the kind of day you've had? I don't like to see you When you're feeling bad And all I want to do When you're down like that Is take you in my arms And hold you tight Tell you everything is gonna be alright And try to show you just how much You mean to me And take away the sadness From your memory And be what you want me to be Oh my, it's been so long Maybe I don't know what's going on I don't like to think We could be going wrong And all I want to do To keep our love as strong Is take you in my arms And hold you tight Tell you everything is gonna be alright And try to show you just how much You mean to me And take away the sadness From your memory And be what you want me to be

When they ever gonna free me When they ever gonna leave me To live my life and take you Where you wanna go Don't you listen to their lies now Can't you see it in my eyes now There shines a light of love That they could never know So trust in me It was meant to be And don't you fear Don't you be afraid I'll keep you safe from harm When they're all lost Along the way We'll still be here Riding out the storm So whatever game they're playing And no matter what they're saying They're trying to break your heart Cos they don't understand And whatever pain you're feeling Don't you ever stop believing Cos we both know the truth Will make it in the end So trust in me It was meant to be And don't you fear Don't you be afraid I'll keep you safe from harm When they're all lost Along the way We'll still be here

If you see Monique, give her my regards Tell her I’m a different person now I’ve changed and I’m working hard I know I was chasing shadows But I’ve given up living on dreams I’ve thought about everything she said And now I know what she means But I’ve passed the point of no return And there’s no going back Can’t believe the fool I’ve been To let her down like that If you dare to break a promise Then prepare to take the blame Things can’t change And still remain the same If you see Monique, give her all my love Tell her that I know the fool I’ve been Whatever was I thinking of? Convinced that I knew the answers So blind I wouldn’t see the light If I’d only took the time to listen I’d have realised she was right But I’ve passed the point of no return And there’s no going back Can’t believe the fool I’ve been To let her down like that If you dare to break a promise Then prepare to take the blame Things can’t change And still remain the same If you see Monique, tell her I could cry When I think of all the missed opportunity When I think of all the wasted time Suddenly I feel much older And somehow a lot more wise And now when I look at her photograph I see the sadness in her eyes

It was just another cold and empty Lonely afternoon I was thinking how I hate the days Yet the nights never end too soon Staring down the empty street From a cold and lonely room Crying for you again Crying for you again I don't understand Why it is that after all this time I'm crying for you again Dying for you again Crying for you again It seems like only yesterday I was walking in the rain And I'm sure I saw you standing there And I heard you call my name People stopped and stared at me As if I was insane Crying for you again Crying for you again I don't understand Why it is that after all this time I'm crying for you again Dying for you again Crying for you again

As the train pulls out the station Right on time There's a lonely stranger Moving down the line Dressed in my travelling clothes Going where fortune goes I'm searching for those Precious dreams of mine Well, I'll feel much better When I get to where I'm going And I'll write you a letter When all my work is done You won't believe your eyes You're gonna realise That I ain't what you call me A no good son of a gun There's sadness in my laughing eyes Madness in my scheming mind Darkness in my morning skies I've got to find the light And all the while there's Something says I must go on Something says my time will come Something says I can't be wrong So I guess I must be right

I'll Be Gone 04:29
If you think I'm gonna sit here Till the morning light Waiting up just in case you phone If you think I'm gonna lie awake Alone at night Wondering if you're ever coming home If you think I'm gonna waste Another second of my time Then let me tell you that you're wrong You only come around here When you want something from me Next time you want me, I'll be gone Do you think I'm gonna listen to Another of your lies Then find myself forgiving you? Do you think I'm gonna look into Your ice cold eyes And let them hypnotise me like you do? Do you think I'm gonna waste my time Hoping that you'll change? Oh, no I realise I don't belong You only come around here When you need me Next time you need me, I'll be gone Don't think I'm gonna spend my life Being yours when it pleases you Oh, no I can't let it go on You only come around here When you want something from me Next time you want me, I'll be gone There'll be no more nights Just sitting here staring at the wall Wondering what you'll have to say Wondering just what the hell I'm doing here at all And why it is I love you anyway In many ways you're just like me You're searching for a dream Oh, but I know I'm not the one You only come around here When your so called friends desert you Next time they hurt you, I'll be gone Don't think I'm gonna spend my life Being yours when it pleases you Oh, no I can't let it go on You only come around here When you need me Next time you need me, I'll be gone
