I got a house and filled it - without you
Bought a car and kept it – without you
Without you – without you
I finished all my studies – without you
And made a little money – without you
Without you – Without you – Without you – Without you
Wrestled all my cancers – without you
Called someone else for answers – without you
Without you.....
Don’t think that I never think about you
There’s not a day I’ll ever be without you
Without you....

Seven days of just water
Six more with no sugar
One lick of butter on the side
Saccharine in your juicer
Splenda in your blender
Soon you’ll be slender if you try [at least you might….]
No wine and no coffee
No bread and no dairy
Just a steady diet of pills
I swear they work [at least they might….]
And if you still feel too fat then just turn off your TV

You know I like you and I think you’ve got a great face
You know I’d really like to stay awhile at your place
But I fear I might let you down
Stains on your carpet and I possibly could lose your cat
Might break some dishes and I’d feel real bad about that
Oh no – I know you’d feel let down
Let you…..down
Feel let down
I’d let you….down
Feel let down
So take back your sweater and don’t ask me for my resume
I can’t imagine what would happen if we saw each other every day
Oh – I know you’d feel let down
Let you…..down
Feel let down
I’d let you….down
So you know I like you and I think you’ve got a great face
You know I’d really like to keep it that way
That way
Keep it that way

A thousand versions of myself I’ve seen
A thousand more that I have yet to be
Y’know I’ll keep my aspirations clear
Because I never thought that I’d be here
To feel my feelings change
To feel my feelings change
And there were days when there was only one thing – I believed
And now I’m finding faith for a lot of things – I can see
Y’know I’ll keep my aspirations clear
Because I never thought that I’d be here
To feel my feelings change
To feel my feelings change
And don’t you dare think that my mind is made up
Cuz I am bound to shake things up, up, up, up, up….
Y’know I’ll keep my aspirations clear
Because I never thought that I’d be here
To feel my feelings change
To feel my feelings change

Famous Machine

My….father wanted me to become famous
So he gave me a famous machine
I kinda only thought that he was kidding
But he would always call to check up on me
I couldn’t fit my whole body into it
So I decided to start with just my feet
By Monday morning all my friends were calling
To say they’d seen me dancing on TV
Well I wasn’t really much of a dancer
But I thought, hey, I could wiggle my hips
I thought that I’d put them inside - But they never got a chance to try
A Hollywood Producer said they’re way too wide
So I thought about puttin’ in my elbows
Cuz they were as skinny as could be
And my eyes, mouth, teeth, and throat and nose didn’t seem like very good possibilities
But I was getting’ so annoyed at the famous machine
It was takin’ up all the free room I’ve go
So I busted it to pieces and threw it in the yard – now it’s makin’ a good flower pot

You wanted the car keys
But only to drive me far away
It’s better than leaving me on a train
You wanted fruit roll ups
But only to roll them in my hair
And still I’d follow you everywhere
So you’d say
Go….………..Go away
Later I knew the secrets – to all of the girls you dreamed about
But I held them ransom in my mouth
So you’d play your music
And we’d laugh and we’d smile and we’d talk
Pretty soon you’d say before I’d walk away – you’d say
Don’t go…….
Don’t go………..away
You dropped out of college and I hardly recognized your face
And you wouldn’t show yourself for days and days and days
And had I been stronger maybe I would’ve torn right through your door
Instead of just waiting there on the floor – too afraid to
Go………….
Go away
The years go by slowly
With all of the things life puts you through
And I can’t count the ways that I miss you
And the days when you call me
I find I can hardly believe my ears
Cuz I always feel that familiar fear – that you will
Go…………..go away
Don’t go……Don’t go away
One day we’ll be older and one of us is gonna be left alone
And maybe that’s all we’ve ever known

Who I gotta be to change your mind?
Who I gotta be to change your mind?
Who I gotta be – who I gotta be – Who I gotta be to catch your eye?
Put me on the stage – I’ll read the lines
Run it through again time after time
Just - who I gotta be – who I gotta be - who I gotta be to change your mind?
Who I gotta be, who I gotta be
Who I gotta be, who I gotta be
Who I gotta be to change your mind
Who I gotta be, who I gotta be
Who I gotta be, who I gotta be
Who I gotta be to catch your eye
