I Can’t let Candy go Candy, oh Candy There’s things about me you don’t know Candy, oh Candy I think I gotta let you go That’s what I practice in the mirror everyday If I could only ever find the nerve to say Candy, oh Candy I only want what’s best for you Candy, oh Candy Don’t need more time to think it through But if I told her it would only make her cry Each time we kiss I should be kissing her goodbye I can’t let Candy go No I can’t let Candy go I lost the feeling and it’s starting to show But I just can’t let her go Someday, no Monday I’m finally gonna do what’s right I’d like to cut her loose on Thursday But I need a date for Friday night Don’t bother telling me cause I know that it’s wrong But I can’t help it I just keep her hanging on I can’t let Candy go No I can’t let Candy go My nerve is shrinking when I need it to grow And I just can’t let her go Well I know I should set her free Cause she don’t mean the world to me But I wouldn’t want to break her heart And without her I will But then sweet Candy comes and looks me in the eye She says “I’m sorry but I found a better guy” And I can’t let Candy go No I can’t let Candy go She doesn’t want to waste her time anymore But I just can’t let her go I can’t let Candy go

Girl we couldn’t be more different Opposites in every way I’m a guy who cuts his classes You’re a girl who gets straight A’s So your mom and dad wanna keep us apart Don’t suppose I blame em but it’s Making life so hard Doesn’t make much sense on paper I play poker, you play chess All your friends play flutes and cellos All my friends smoke cigarettes Hard to find some time when Nobody’s home Got to find some quiet place Where we can be alone Maybe we’ll meet behind a rainbow Maybe I’ll hold you under the stars Girl, it’ll be our little secret Feeling so good wherever we are Hiding from your friends and neighbors Seems like no one understands Girl we’ll be in so much trouble If they catch us holding hands Driving us both crazy living like this Duck inside a doorway just to steal a little kiss Maybe we’ll meet behind a rainbow We’ll sail away on the rays of the sun Girl, it’ll be our little secret Until the day we can tell everyone Ba ba ba.. Maybe we’ll meet behind a rainbow Maybe I’ll hold you under the stars Girl, it’ll be our little secret Feeling so good wherever we are Behind a rainbow

If you want me please give me a sign girl If it’s over please don’t waste my time girl If you’re already gone Won’t you let me move on? I’ve been waiting patiently for you girl But something in your voice tells me we’re through girl If you want me to go, I just gotta know Baby, why can’t you tell me it’s over Won’t you look at me in the eye Why can’t you tell me it’s over I’d rather know the truth Than live a lie, oh baby, why? If you stay with me we won’t look back, girl But if you’re leaving my world will turn black girl I’m beginning to see You’ve been looking through me Baby, why can’t you tell me it’s over Every word you say is ‘goodbye’ Why can’t you tell me it’s over I’d rather know the bitter truth Than live a sugar-coated lie Oh baby, why? Baby, why? Baby, why? Oh baby, why? If it’s over please don’t waste my time Oh, why can’t you tell me it’s over Won’t you look at me in the eye Why can’t you tell me it’s over I’d gotta know Why can’t you tell me it’s over? Why can’t you tell me it’s over?

Thought I should drop you a line And say I got outta hand We met at Tracy’s party With the big brass band I was the guy who proposed And spilled my heart on your sleeve You were the girl who asked me to leave But she doesn’t see I’m really very shy and sweet She’s in love with everyone but me The beer was flowing like wine And we were all having fun I was just trying to unwind Instead I came undone I don’t remember too much But if the pictures are true I was the only one, in the pool If she could only see I’m really very cuddly She’s in love with everyone but me And the big brass band kept playing on My head was spinning round Everybody was dancing to the happy sound Then I woke up all alone on the cold, hard ground If she could only see I wanna treat her tenderly She’s in love with everyone but me And the big brass band kept playing on They made such a swingin’ sound She wouldn’t dance with me once The whole night long But if she ever wants to call I’ll be waiting ‘round.

A cloud covered sky, birds flying high All alone I sit and wonder why. Shade of a tree, feels wintry to me Sunlight is a distant memory. My thoughts meander away Where I once remember the way our love was Solitude Saturday Waiting for you in the park Waiting till dark Looking back on the day I let you into my heart, Into my heart Leaves they will fall In spite of it all This lonely feeling hush as I recall The red of summer turns blue Could time have colored my view, I wonder Solitude Saturday Waiting for you in the park Waiting till dark Looking back on the day I let you into my heart, Into my heart

From the moment that I saw you Till our first official kiss I have really fallen for you And now it’s all this When we both first said ‘I love you’ I had never known such bliss Oh, I can’t stop thinking of you Now it’s all this Funny how love songs promise rainbows And sunshine guaranteed Real life kisses turn to contracts And passion turns to mouths we have to feed One day when we’re much older I will surely reminisce ‘Bout the day that I fell for ya Now it’s all this Ain’t it funny how love songs promise rainbows And sunshine guaranteed Real life kisses turn to contracts And passion turns to mouths we have to feed Now it breaks my heart just thinking Of all the things I might have missed If I’d never fallen for ya, that would be that Now it’s all this Oh yeah

I knew this day was bound to come You’re saying that you should be moving on Nothing I could say is gonna make you stay I know I see you stole that photograph The one where you were trying to make me laugh You were so much fun I’m gonna miss the times we had Genevieve Please don’t leave me now Genevieve I’ll miss you I guess the world caught up to you So many things you said you still needed to do I hope you find your dreams before they get away from you Genevieve Please don’t leave me now Genevieve I’ll miss you So many nights we couldn’t let go It felt so right you even said so Nothing I could say is gonna make you stay I know Genevieve Please don’t leave me now Genevieve I’ll miss you Genevieve, yeah I knew this day was bound to come

As far as yesterday goes I’m really sorry for causing you pain As far as anyone knows You left before me, no need to explain It didn’t work out like we hoped it would I said some things that weren’t so good And you may still regret the path you chose As far as yesterday goes Won’t you forgive me for losing my head? You came a little too close Brought back bad memories Awakened the dead Like one too many mornings after too much wine We had ourselves a few good times But did the high make up for all the lows I don’t know But your secrets are safe with me Locked away forever in my memory As real as you’ll ever be Sad, I suppose, but That’s as far as yesterday goes It didn’t work out like we hoped it would I said some things that weren’t so good And you’ll still come out smelling like a rose Like a rose But your secrets are safe with me I’ll never say a word about what used to be Agreeing to disagree One too many lows brought things to a close But your secrets are safe with me Locked away forever in my memory As real as you’ll ever be It’s sad I suppose But, that’s as far as yesterday goes

I saw a picture of you just the other day I don’t know where it came from You were smiling as you looked the other way It was summer or autumn I saw a picture of you just the other day I don’t know where it came from Thought of all the things I never got to say I had words but I lost em And though it seems like only yesterday You stood beside that wall The world has changed in almost every way You haven’t changed at all You haven’t changed at all I heard a tape of all the songs we used to play I don’t know where it came from Thought of everything we almost gave away We won some and we lost some I know we still got lots of things to see And places left to go But in the end we’re left with memories And things we’ll never know The things we’ll never know I found a letter that you sent me long ago Still can’t read your writing You said you didn’t know if you’d be coming home Guess you’re still deciding And when I phone you every other day You don’t return my call I know we said all that we need to say We haven’t changed at all We haven’t changed at all I saw a picture of you just the other day I don’t know where it came from Thought of all the things I never got to say I had words but I lost em It was summer or autumn

I used to think I was so hard to read But now I know my heart was right here on my sleeve Everyone can tell by the way I look at her All the times that I denied it Now there's no point in trying to hide it It's no secret that I care It's no lie I'm always there If I asked her back she would Turn away from me for good You can tell her that I'm lonely And she's the one that I'm dreaming of It's no secret who I love It's not that I'm ashamed or that I feel unsure Just that I can't forget I lost her once before But I've got this smile even tears can't wash away Every moment I stand near her My intentions just get clearer It's no secret that I care It's no lie I'm always there If I asked her back she would Turn away from me for good You can tell her that I'm lonely Tell her she’s the one I'm thinking of It's no secret who I love It's no secret that I care It's no lie I'm always there If I asked her back she would Walk away from me for good Won't you tell her that I'm really lonely Tell her she's the one I'm thinking of Oh, it's no secret It's no secret who I love Who I love
