Lyrics:
try to change me now
Why can't I be more conventional
People talk
People stare
So I try
But that's not for me
'Cause I can't see
My kind of crazy world
are you supposed to know what you get
Wake me when it's over, but don't turn on the light
Call me by name, that's alright I try, all night long,
Ooh,
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Living now here but for fortune
Placed by fate's mysterious schemes
Who'd believe that we're the ones asked
To try
me to forget
Pretend we've never met
And I try and I try
But I haven't yet
You walk by
And I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces
Each time
lying there, awake
Monster
Monster kings, do
Do not scorn them
But do not fear them, no
Muster, muster thy army, army
a snake about to strike
And then pronounced him hopeless
When he wouldn't do as she would like
He's so sorry he can't feel remorse
He tries to keep
daily façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself (myself)
I ask
Spending these lonesome evenings
With nothing to do
But to live in dreams that I make up
All by myself
Dreaming that you're beside me
I
to take the road less traveled by
But nothin' seems to work the first few times
Am I right?
So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you'll find
You get what
and I'll stick by you
Friends may try to hurt us
Scandalise our name
But no one (no-one) can tear us apart
You have a place in my heart
I love you
Niggas out there jealous 'cause we be bailin' with Death Row
They try to playa hate
But they can't fade us tho'
We be mobbin' through
daily façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself (myself)
I ask
the mountains high
With cavalry and infantry to take him they did try
He laughed at them with scorn until at last 'twas said
By a false-hearted woman he was
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with
I'm a labyrinth of hopes and fears
Of tears of frustration and of anger
But if you can break through this wall
And search amongst it all
You'll
formed drawn in the brain
Sorn scorn by the pourin' rain
But I can stand it seldom do I feel stranded
Granded I stand with the style that is
Niggas out there jealous 'cause we be bailin' with Death Row
They try to playa hate
But they can't fade us tho'
We be mobbin' through
I said things that I don't mean
You did things you can't take back
Maybe we should let it go
Or maybe we should try again? Yeah
Maybe we should
But to scoff and scorn
The builders rejected stones
Where is Your Love?
Where is Your Love?
Is there a use for Your hands and heart?
You plot and ploy
Can't put my finger on it
But I know I want it
I'm willing to try another way
That is, if I get by another day
Back and forth, I don't get anywhere
Had a dream and I woke up cryin'
Well, I can try but I just can't stop
And the time is draggin' by, tick-tock
Oh my heart, it just can't love no one
moonstone
Just 'cause he was high
And we're dancin' all night
And you can try to change my mind
But you might have to wait in line
What's a girl gonna
can go our separate ways
If we're not back in love by Monday
We can't say we didn't try
But before we bury our love
Let's make sure we've let it
