Surrender I Want You To Want Me Ain't That A Shame Dream Police |
Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch" Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round Mommy's alright Daddy's alright They just seem a little weird Surrender Surrender But don't give yourself away Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things" "Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines" Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year? Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear? When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out Away. Away.
I want you to want me I need you to need me I'd love you to love me I'm begging you to beg me I want you to want me I need you to need me I'd love you to love me I'll shine all my shoes I'll put on a brand new shirt I'll get home early from work If you'll say that you love me Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying? Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying? Feeling all alone and not a friend you know you feel like dying Oh didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
You make me cry when you say goodbye Ain't that a shame My tears fall like rain Ain't that a shame You're the one to blame You broke my heart, now we're apart Ain't that a shame My tears fall like rain Ain't that a shame You're th one to blame, oh yes you are So long, goodbye, although I cry Ain't that a shame My tears fall like rain Ain't that a shame You're the one to blame You make me cry when you say goodbye Ain't that a shame My tears fall like rain Ain't that a shame You're the one to blame
Dream Police
The dream police they live inside of my head
The dream police they come to me in my bed
The dream police they're {come into my sleep, coming to arrest me}
Oh no
You know that talk is cheap and {those} rumors ain't nice
And when I fall asleep I don't think Ill survive
The night, the night
'Cause they're waiting for me
{they're} looking for me
Ev-ery sing-le night (they're) driving me insane
Those men inside my brain
The dream police they live inside of my head
The dream police they come to me in my bed
The dream police they're {come into my sleep, coming to arrest me}
Oh no
Well I {can't,don't} tell lies 'cause they're listening to me
{And} when I fall asleep, bet they're spying on me tonight, tonight
'Cause they're waiting for me
{they're} Looking for me
Ev-ery sing-le night (they're) driving me insane
Those men inside my brain
I try to sleep, they're wide awake, they won't {let,leave} me alone
They don't get paid to take vacations or {let,leave} me alone
They spy on me, I try to hide, they won't {let,leave} me alone
They persecute me, they're the judge and jury all in one
'Cause they're waiting for me
{they're} Looking for me
Ev-ery sing-le night (they're) driving me insane
Those men inside my brain
The dream police they live inside of my head
The dream police they come to me in my bed
The dream police they're coming to arrest me
The dream police (police, police)
The dream police (police, police)
