Tired Of Tryin'

TIRED OF TRYIN’
I’ve been waiting
And hoping for a change
I’ve been holding on
Sure there’d come a better day
And I’m so tired . . .
I’m so tired . . .
I’m so tired . . .
Tired of tryin’ . . . to make ends meet
Tired of tryin’ . . . to make myself believe
Tired of tryin’ . . . to keep my head up high
I can’t find much reason to live . . .
and I’m tired of tryin’
I’m a loser
I’ve gone and lost my way
I’m in trouble
It's my fault and I’m ashamed
And I’m so tired . . .
I’m so tired . . .
I’m so tired . . .
Tired of tryin’ . . . to make ends meet
Tired of tryin’ . . . to make myself believe
Tired of tryin’ . . . to keep my head up high
I can’t find much reason to live . . .
and I’m tired of tryin’

BABY, PLEASE DON'T GO
Baby, baby, I can't believe you're leavin' me now
(I said) baby, baby, I can't believe you're leavin' me now
I'll get down on my knees
And take to beggin' you please stay 'round
My heart, my heart, my heart belongs to only you
My heart, my heart, my heart belongs to only you
So put your things away
(And) don't let me hear you say we're through
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't leave
Baby, please, please, please
My world, my world, my whole world spins around you
My world, my world , my whole world spins around you
You put a spell on me
Anyone can see that it's true
Baby, baby, I can't believe you're leavin' me now
(I said) baby, baby, I can't believe you're leavin' me now
I'll get down on my knees
And take to beggin' you please stay 'round
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't leave
Baby, please, please, please

Flowers On Your Grave

FLOWERS ON YOUR GRAVE
I've been tryin' to tell you, better watch your wicked ways
Keep doin' what you're doin', and count your days
Now you don't have to listen, I know you've heard it all before
So all I'm gonna say, is I'll put flowers on your grave
I've grown tired of watiing for your attitude to change
Sometimes I thought you'd grown up, but no, you're just the same
I guess you just won't listen, you think you've heaerd it all before
So all I'm gonna say, is I'll put flowers on your grave
I'll put flowers on your grave
And there'll be teardrops in my eyes
I'll be so sad when you pass away
But I won't be surprised
You don't seem to worry, you just take another pill
Smoke, snort, sniff or drink, whatever gets the thrill
Now you don't have to listen, I know you think I'm just no fun
But I have to wonder still, just how much pain you plan to kill
If you can't see to stop it, at least just stop until
You get yourself a lawyer, and write yourself a will
Now you don't have to listen, I know you think I'm just no fun
but I have to wonder still, just how much pain you plan to kill
I'll put flowers on your grave
And there'll be teardrops in my eyes
I'll be so sad when you pass away
But I won't be surprised
I'll put flowers on your grave
And there'll be teardrops in my eyes
I'll be so sad
But I won't be surprised

AIN'T GOT NO
Ain't got no quarter
Ain't got no quarter to call my friend
Ain't got no quarter
Ain't got no quarter to call my friend
I spent all my money
Now I ain't got nothin' left to spend
Ain't got no friend
Ain't got no friend to take me home
Ain't got no friend
Ain't got no friend to take me home
So when I'm ready to be goin'
I'll be goin' all alone
Ain't got no home
Ain't got no home anyway
Ain't got no home
Ain't got no home anyway
Everybody's leavin'
But I think I'm gonna stay
Ain't got no teardrops
Ain't got no teardrops left to cry
Ain't got no teardrops
Ain't got no teardrops left to cry
Ain't got no joy in livin'
But I ain't got no reason to die

WOMAN . . . HEY, WOMAN
Woman . . . hey, woman . . .
Why do you have to leave?
Woman . . . hey, woman . . .
Why do you have to leave?
Mark my words they’ll come a day
You’ll want to come back to me
I might be a poor man
Might be a poor man now
I might be a poor man
Might be a poor man now
But if money changes everything
I’ll make it rich somehow
They say that money can’t buy love
I wouldn’t know ‘bout that
But when you’re strugglin’ and you ain’t got enough
Romance is over in a flash
Woman . . . hey, woman . . .
I know your love’s for sale
Woman . . . hey, woman . . .
I know your love’s for sale
You say you need to feel ‘secure’
And I ain’t been doin’ so well . . .
They say that money can’t buy love
I wouldn’t know ‘bout that
But when you’re strugglin’ and you ain’t got enough
Romance is over in a flash
Woman . . . hey, woman . . .
Woman . . . hey, woman . . .

I GOTTA GO (IT’S OVER)
I’ll keep my distance
You keep the home
Keep almost everything
But I gotta go
I gotta go
It’s just time to leave
Babe I’m sorry, but sometimes you just know . . .
and I gotta go
Don’t hate me, Honey
You know I tried
Don’t say things you’ll regret
Just say good-bye
Say good-bye
Blame it all on me
Nothin’ you could say would change my mind . . .
So just say good-bye
It’s over . . .
It’s over . . .
I’ll keep my distance
You keep the home
Keep almost everything
But I gotta go
I gotta go
It’s just time to leave
Babe I’m sorry, but sometimes you just know . . .
and I gotta go
It’s over . . .
It’s over . . .

GO AWAY SUNSHINE
Go away sunshine . . . sunshine go away . . .
Go away sunshine . . . sunshine go away . . .
I don’t want to see . . .
Don’t want to see another day
Go away sunshine . . . sunshine go away . . .
Go away sunshine . . . sunshine go away . . .
I don’t want to see . . .
Don’t want to see another day

LETTING GO
I don't know how to say good-bye
So I'll wait and I'll try to hide
Hide the feeling of nothing left
Of faded romance and emptiness
Love, I'm trying to treat you right
But making love's just an alibi
I hold you close, but I'm letting go
And trying hard not to let it show
But I can't go on forever pretending
And you deserve something real
Life is full of unhappy endings
I can't just change how I feel
I don't know how to set you free
The usual words don't sound right to me
You deserve more that just a line
More than words I could hide behind
Love, I'm trying to treat you right
But making love's just an alibi
I hold you close, but I'm letting go
And trying hard not to let it show

IF I DIDN'T LOVE YOU
If I didn't love you would I be here now?
If I didn't love you would I be here now?
I made you cry
And I'm ashamed
But if I didn't love you
Why did I stay?
If I didn't love you I wouldn't care
If I didn't love you I wouldn't care
You think I'm leaving
But you're wrong
If I didn't love you
I'd be long gone
I hear your friends 'been talkin'
Tellin' you to leave
I thought this was something
Between you and me
If you didn't love me, like I love you
If you didn't love me, like I love you
You'd never try
to work this out
If you didn't love me
You wouldn't be here now
If I didn't love you . . .
If I didn't love you . . .
I made you cry
And I'm ashamed
But if I didn't love you
Why did I stay?

THE REST OF MY LIFE
I got a woman makin' me crazy
I got a woman just ain't right
I fell in love, she didn't make me (But I)
Don't wanna pay for the rest of my life
I took a walk in the tall grass of romance
Came face to face with a rattlesnake
Still, I closed my eyes and started to slow dance
But I got bit when I tripped by mistake
One wrong word and she's ready to strike
I say I'm sorry, 'cause I don't wanna fight
Still she screams, she's right and I'm wrong
- Hell forever's gonna be too long
I got a woman makin' me crazy
I got a woman just ain't right
I fell in love, she didn't make me (But I)
Don't wanna pay for the rest of my life
Not gonna pay for the rest of my life

LAST PARADE
I see the cars roll slowly by
And it's clear from their headlights
There are saddened souls inside
Tryin' to tell their friend good-bye
They'll follow to his resting place
And see him lowered in his grave
Life has an end, and it's a shame
But this will be his last parade
My day will come, I'm in no rush
But the sun will set, and when it does
Wish I could hear the ones I love
Remembering the man I was
They'll follow to my resting place
To see me lowered in my grave
Life has an end, I'm not afraid
I'll go in style my last parade
