When You Knew Nothing

You’re gonna cry,

Yourself to sleep,

You’re gonna have a new dream,

And wake up and realize what it means.

 

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

Just a short time in your life

When you knew nothing.

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

It’s just a short time in your life,

That you know nothing.

 

He held your hand,

He walked you home,

He smiled and winked and

Made you feel whole.

But when, he’s gone

And you hold your own hand,

You’re gonna realize,

You’re gonna understand.

 

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

Just a short time in your life

When you knew nothing.

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

It’s just a short time in your life,

That you know nothing.

 

And once you know it all,

That’s when you want to know nothing.

You wish you didn’t know now,

What you didn’t know then,

But you can never go back there again.

 

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

Just a short time in your life

When you knew nothing.

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

It’s just a short time in your life,

That you know nothing.

A Girl Like Me

I said come in from the rain

I said he could stay

The night was so cold,

I had to tell him to go

 

I said come on upstairs

He said don’t mind if I do,

He wrung himself out,

And then I hung him up blue

 

If you ever met a girl

Like me,

Would you stare,

Would you say hello,

Would you hide,

Would you be with her every night?

If you ever met a girl like me.

 

I stared for awhile,

Until he fell asleep,

I woke him up to tell him

Go back to his dreams.

 

If you ever met a girl

Like me,

Would you stare,

Would you say hello,

Would you hide,

Would you be with her every night?

If you ever met a girl like me.

 

And then, when he says goodbye,

He sees me wave hello,

And as he’s walking away,

I’m ready to go.

 

If you ever met a girl

Like me,

Would you stare,

Would you say hello,

Would you hide,

Would you be with her every night?

If you ever met a girl like me.

Am I Your Poison?

When you talk, it’s right in my ear

What you say, I won’t repeat

I think you’ve got, the right idea

About me.

 

You’ve got the nerve, to keep me nervous,

When you sleep, I stay awake,

I think you’ve got, the right ideas,

About…

 

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, pick your poison, baby,

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, am I your poison, baby?

 

When we touch, it’s something unreal,

Where you see, nobody’s seen.

I think you’ve got, the right idea,

About me.

 

I hear your heartbeat, I feel you shaking,

I count the stutters in your speech,

I think you’ve got, the right idea,

About…

 

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, pick your poison, baby,

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, am I your poison, baby?

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, pick your poison, baby,

A central focus, erotic shock,

Live wire, am I your poison, baby?

Am I? Am I? Am I?

Am I your poison, baby?
