“La-De-Da” I thought if I were big time That I'd have it made Caviar for breakfast And magnums of champagne Never any heartache And never any pain Life would be La-De-Da La-De-Da I went from rags to riches And I made myself a name Imagined it'd be different But nothing really changed Behind the mask of splendor I still looked much the same My life was La-De-Da La-De-Da My life was La-De-Da I had no worries at all (Manicures and pedicures) All those titles and ovations Didn't make this man Without the validation I was just as I began I gave up my possessions And all they meant to me I found a quiet island Upon the deep blue sea I think about the big time And how I used to be When I was La-De-Da La-De-Da When life was La-De-Da I had no worries at all When I was... I got no troubles at all La-De-Da

Tendency Toward Dependency 03:50

"Tendency Toward Dependency" He calls her morning, noon, and night Can't stand to have her out of his sight He'd do most anything to keep her near Her independence is his greatest fear He never could let go He's got no self-control He's got a tendency toward dependency He doesn't like when he's alone His co-dependent is the telephone He never could let go He's got no self-control He just can't say "no" He's got a tendency toward dependency Just like a baby who cries for mom He keeps returning to the place where he came from He never could let go He's got no self-control He never could say "no" It's still the same old show He just can't let go He's got a tendency toward dependency

“Hannah” Hannah has innocent eyes Hannah fills me with laughter Hannah is a sweet surprise All I know is how she makes me feel I'll be there if Hannah should cry Speak of love ever after Watch me melt when she sighs All I know is how she makes me feel Oh Hannah I reveal with Hannah I've found love and Hannah is her name Hannah has delicate hands They're as soft as a whisper Her every wish is my command All I know is how she makes me feel Oh Hannah I reveal with Hannah I've found love and Hannah is her name She's my baby and she'll always be my girl And, no, I would not change a single thing Not for all of the world Oh Hannah All I know is how she makes me feel Oh Hannah I don't conceal with Hannah I've found love and Hannah is her name Oh Hannah I don't play games with Hannah I've found love and Hannah is her name

"It Takes Two To Tango" You tell me that he really hurt you Hurt you, oh, so bad You wonder how he could desert you God, he made you mad Were you nothing but a victim Did you never have a choice It takes two to tango Didn't you wear familiar clothes The ones you wear so well Didn't you blush just like a rose On your way to hell Were you nothing but a victim Did you never have a choice It takes two to tango Were you nothing but a victim Did you never have a choice It takes two to tango Weren't you once head over heels Weren't you, oh, so sure If she's to blame for how you feel Who will be the cure Were you nothing but a victim Did you never have a choice Oh, it takes two to tango Hey, now, even if your arm was twisted What happened to your voice Oh, it takes two to tango Lyrics and Music by Paul Voudouris

"Isn't Love Stupid (And Fun)” With a silly little smile on my face I go walkin' into walls, floatin' off in space Yeah, it's true, you're for me and I'm for you If everything is all right, then what's wrong? Will this turn into a fight before too long? Do we end at the beginning? Isn't love stupid and fun? First we do it, then we run (Ah, but isn't love fun) I often wonder if you feel like I do When you're wounded, don't you heal And change the old to new? But tell me who is gonna’ dry these eyes of mine? Is there anybody out there? Isn't love stupid and fun? First we do it, then we run Go tell cupid he's not done 'Cause I don’t wanna' do it and then run (Oh, but isn't love fun) Is there ever any reason for the things we say and do, now? Isn't love stupid and fun? First we do it, then we run Go tell cupid, tell him that his work is not done 'Cause I don't wanna do it, and then run Isn't love stupid Now, isn't it, sometimes, a living hell? It can make you look foolish It can make your heart swell (Oh well) Go tell cupid... Tell him that his work has just begun "Cause I won't do it till he's done (It's no fun)

"The Lands Within" If you show me yours, I'll show you mine Let's go behind the doors and, maybe, have some wine We'll take a look at what's inside And have the hunger satisfied If you touch me here, I'll touch you there Let clothing disappear and lay your body bare Since nothing's left that we can say It must be time for us to play (These feelings have meaning) When you're in the lands within There's no wrong and there's no sin (I'm) waiting in the lands within Loving arms (will) take you in If I do like this, now, will you do like that For just a little kiss I'd love you back The stage is set, the moon is right Why save it for another night (These feelings have meaning) When you're in the lands within There's no wrong and there's no sin (I'm) waiting in the lands within My loving arms take you in (The lands within) And then we open up and let each other in To lands that lie within within And then we open up and let each other in To the lands within

"Things Change" You say you're down and you're feeling so blue With no one around, it seems that there's nothing to do Sometimes it's spring And sometimes you just stare at the walls The telephone will ring for days And then there isn't anybody to call Ease your mind, yeah, leave your troubles all behind 'Cause things change Like summer to fall Things are changing, and so do we all When skies are grey with never ending rainy days And endless nights When you're feeling all of your pain There is a cure It's the one thing of which I am sure Ease your mind, leave your troubles all behind 'Cause things change Like summer to fall Things are changing, and so do we all Like rivers to oceans We keep changing Yeah, things change Nothing stays the same

"Every Little Thing" There's something in the way you smile That says, "Open your heart, and stay for a while" Oh, there's something in the way you touch That fills me with love I feel so much You're with me and all that I need Is here in your eyes I fly away In your eyes My feelings go on holiday Every little thing you do Keeps me falling into love with you Every little thing you do Keeps' me fallin' Someone said I'd better beware To forget what we did And all that we share He doesn't know me I'm just a kid Who's lost in your eyes I fly away In your eyes My feelings go on a holiday Every little thing you do Keeps me falling into love with you Every little thing you do Keeps me fallin' Every little thing you say Makes me love you more and more and more If you love someone, let me know If you're needing someone Please, let me know

I've been wrong I've been right I've been in love and I've had some sleepless nights I've seen good I've seen bad I've seen some things I wish I never had I stumbled and often I fell But I've always felt the breath of life I've been closed Open, too I've laughed a lot, I've even, yeah, I've cried a few I whispered and sometimes I yelled But I've always felt… Well, I have no regrets I would not hedge any bets I'll breathe every breath until I die And never ask why I've played every card I've been dealt And I've always felt the breath of life Yes, I've always felt The breath of life I have always felt the breath of life
