Chorus
Are you cultured, or are you a sad soul.
Please tell me, I’m wondering so.
What’s with you, is it misery or is it ego.
Why don’t you just go, why don’t you just go.
We’re all so out of sight, but you’re so with it.
You’re all for show, an awful awful show.
Verse 1
I really don’t get you, you’re such a facade.
You find anyone not like you, so very odd.
You’re reality and mentality are so very cracked.
You don’t feel loved, you don’t feel any of that.
You must belittle anyone, to feel what you get.
Oh tell me my superior, how I’m inferior.
Chorus
Are you cultured, or are you a sad soul.
Please tell me, I’m wondering so.
What’s with you, is it misery or is it ego.
Why don’t you just go, why don’t you just go.
We’re all so out of sight, but you’re so with it.
You’re all for show, an awful awful show.
Closing Verse
I could see your delusions, I can jump to your conclusions.
Your belief of being superior, are pure illusions.
If you were so good, so very very good.
You wouldn’t need to preach it.
You wouldn’t need to broadcast it.
People would be awe of it, so you just aren’t it.
Chorus
You have such a beautiful smile, I can stare at you for awhile.
I can admire you from afar, miles and miles.
All I can say is I'll treat you right, not like those guys who put tears in your eyes.
Smile smile baby, put some light in the sky.
For tonight be mines.
Verse 1
Remember that jerk, he feed you a bunch of lies.
You had your suspicions, he claimed he wasn't ready for commitments.
But so ready for getting busy.
Lying ass say goodnight, goodbye.
Chorus
You have such a beautiful smile, I can stare at you for awhile.

Verse 2
Man what was with that guy.
You caught him cheating with your own eyes.
He blamed you, he blamed you twice.
He said you knew he was more a one night stand type of guy.
Girl no crying for you're with me tonight.
You're with me tonight.
Verse 1
Drifting off to space.
I don't quite know where I' am.
Lost my compass a long ago.
Should I go home I don't really know, someone please tell me.
Should I go somewhere peaceful.
Someone tell me where's home.
Chorus
It's time to close the curtains on the show.
I don't wanna go home no more.
Don't get wrong , I love it so much.
But it's not quite the same, it's an awful show.
It's so sad I rather close the door.
Lock it up and be done, let erode.
Verse 2
What gets me is how people have become so cold.
We don't care we'd let a man die in the road.
How much longer will we let poverty grow.
We value the rich and not our own.
Have a little heart, that's the point to live.
That's the last I can give.
As for me I'm drifting off to space.
As for me I'm drifting off to space.
Chorus
It's time to close the curtains on the show.
I don't wanna go home no more.

Verse 1
Say you love me, I want to hear it from you.
Tell me we're not really over.
I don't need more pain creeping on my shoulder.
I wanna stay with you until we're older, and so much further.
Chorus
Just say you love me!
This just can't be the end.
Tell me those sweet words I want to hear.
I hit rock bottom, can you see me there.
Do you hear me, do you hear me.
Just say you love me!
Just say you love me.
Verse 2
You already know I've been through so much.
Forgive me for feeling pain.
I know some days I can be so rough.
Some days I'm warm to touch.
I tell you show me why I'm so numb.
You know just why I' am who I' am.
But can you, but can you.....
Closing Chorus
Just say you love me!
This just can't be the end.
Tell me those sweet words I want to hear.
I hit rock bottom, can you see me there.
Do you hear me, do you hear me.
Just say you love me!
Just say you love me.
Chorus
Don't you worry a single brown hair.
Things will get better, my love I swear.
It'll get better now, listen to my howl... (pause until sound picks up)
Filling out job applications, til night falls down.
Going on interviews every single day, I'm really getting around.
I won't give up, I won't give up, I won't give up.
Verse 1
Listen to the sound of my drums.
Is that the sound of a man who never gives up.
I lost my job, can't find work now.
I'll find a new job, one that's even better.
I want to be the man you deserve.
The man you can look up to, and be proud of.
It's all for you, I'll never give in.
Our love is strong, we can't be broken up.
People get down but we're really tough.
Chorus
Don't you worry a single brown hair.
Things will get better, my love I swear.
It'll get better now, listen to my howl...(pause until sound picks up)
Filling out job applications, til night falls down.
Going on interviews every single day, I'm really getting around.
I won't give up, I won't give up, I won't give up.
Verse 2
Our destiny is our destiny, but it's what we choose of it.
Look to the future, there's always some pain.
Sometimes it's rain, some days the sun is up.
Shinning right now is what I do.
I'm the luckiest man I have you.
Drop the politics, drop the rent.
All I want is a single kiss.
Chorus
Don't you worry a single brown hair.
Things will get better, my love I swear.
It'll get better now, listen to my howl...(pause until sound picks up)
Filling out job applications, til night falls down.
Going on interviews every single day, I'm really getting around.
I won't give up, I won't give up, I won't give up.
Chorus
Desperation, aint my friend.
Desperation, is my end.
Desperation runs me.
Desperation makes my heart beat and beat.
Verse 1
Desperation, my close friend.
We need to break up.
I can't handle you.
The things you make me do.
You never have my back.
Chorus
Desperation, aint my friend.
Desperation, is my end.
Desperation runs me.
Desperation makes my heart beat and beat.

You made me take a job, I didn't want.
My pain is all because of you.
You ruined relationships.
Me a kid I wish.
Chorus
Desperation, aint my friend.
Desperation, is my end.
Desperation runs me.
Desperation makes my heart beat and beat.
Verse 3
You made me spiral out of control.
You took me down below.
But you made me humble.
Life tough sometimes you stumble.
Verse 1
I know you had a long day at work.
Let me massage you where it hurts.
Once you watch your show, I'll make your favorite dessert.
Lets talk about what's going on at work.
Chorus
Dinner can wait.
We have more important things to do.
How was your day?
Babe take off your shoes, have a seat.
We need to spend time together, dinner can wait.
Verse 2
I really do love you babe.
I only wanna make things work.
And I don't just want sex.
We can cuddle in bed too.
It's you wanna wed.
Only you I want in my bed.
You're the girl of my dreams.
Chorus
Dinner can wait.
We have more important things to do.
How was your day?
Babe take off your shoes, have a seat.
We need to spend time together, dinner can wait.
Chorus
What kind of game is this.
Do you like me or not.
Stay or go, I never really know.
Is it love or just for show.
Verse 1
You had me at hello.
Then you dropped an elbow.
I'm crazy in love with you.
I should be locked with nuts.
Just say goodbye, please just say goodbye.
Chorus
What kind of game is this.
Do you like me or not.
Stay or go, I never really know.
Is it love or just for show.

She said I like your car.
I said I like it too.
She said buy me a ring.
I said, how about two.
Then she said, I like you.

Stay or go, I never really know.
Is it love or just for show.
Verse 3
Then she divorced me.
She was smiling, oddly.
She took all I got.
Drank myself nearly half to death.
Then I was gone.
Then I was gone.
I was slowly gone.
Chorus
