like a stranger Cause I never did learn how to say Isn't this grand Slow change Don't mean nothing to me Black cat Squashed flat...pretty gory Came to play Swept away...no big story We shall overcome

toil and sin You're stuck in a race that you just can't win Just take a look around and it's so obscene But that's the way it is, so you gotta get mean Don't waste your time wondering why Cause the only thing you know is that someday you'll die You gotta get tough, you gotta get lean But best of all you get to gotta get mean You give me an itch and I'll blow you away It's part of this dangerous game that we play You'd do the same if you'd seen what I'd seen C'est la vie, mon cherie, ya gotta get mean Blues Traveler Index AloneI said "I love you" She began to cry She said she needed a friend I said "I'll try" Soon we'd say nothing Somehow I never wondered why You see, she left me She left me I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'd loved her always She didn't know I tried patience Let a friendship grow I tried to keep her That's what made her go You see, she left me She left me I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone Beauty and the beast Was how it seemed to be A love like hers Ain't meant for guys like me Some call me crazy Some politely call me free But either way you see You see, she left me She left me I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm trying to forget you but it just won't work Think I'm losing my mind, think I'm going berserk I love you with a passion that you just don't know And I kinda wish right now that I was telling you so I could rant, or rave, or play some little game But when I look into your eyes, it all seems the same That you weren't meant for me and that's a sad but true fact Now I don't care how I look and don't care how I act Cuz you set me free I'm a man among men But when I think of what I missed it starts all again Now alone in the darkness of each new day My heart is on its own I wanna rip it from my chest and throw it away Watch this bassman take me home I guess some day Love will soon be here And maybe then I'll see things more clear I guess I got excited Cause it felt so near And You see, she left me She left me I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone But I know I'd give my life Just to hold her now And who knows I might see her around Hopes can always go up Tears can only come down You see, she left me She left me I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone I'm alone Blues Traveler Index Sweet Talking HippieSweet talking hippie Cross your killing floor Gonna come a little closer Cause you know I want more Don't run off

know we need each other, baby Like a diamond and a ring Now settle back, woman And watch me do my thing Just a little bit closer, it's all right A little bit closer, closer now, closer now, closer now Closer now, closer now, it's all right,it's all right "Come into my apartment" Said the spider to the fly Why would you wanna stick that thing in my heart? Huh, oh well, good-bye. Sweet talking hippie Cross your killing floor Gonna come a little closer Cause you know I want more That's all I am, that's all I am You know that's all I am, that's all I am I'm alone I'm alone Thank you.
