When I Look At You

When I look at you, all the chaos seems worthwhile. I can't help but smile. My heart skips a beat. My eyes, I wish yours would meet. I really want to scream. Oh, how I love to daydream. I don't know what to do. I would really liketo scream. I say nothing at all. The world seems so small. I open my mouth to speak, but the words from it, they do not leak. Nothing I do seems right. My days, your smile makes bright. Your name I wish to call. I say nothing at all when I look at you.

What's for Dinner?

What's for dinner? Cause I'm hungry. What's for dinner? I wanna be fed. What's for dinner? Cause I'm starving. What's for dinner? Cause I'm marveling at the food on the table. What's for dinner? Cause I want food. What's for dinner? I'm in the mood. The mood to eat.

Valentine, Valentine

Valentine's day is a very special day. You spend it with someone you love. What I am really trying to say is, I love you! Oh, please. Oh, please. My valentine be. Be my valentine.

Only Thinking of You

I'm sitting here now, just thinking of you. I really wish I knew what to do. I hope forever that you were here too. Then we could be together, just me and you. How lonely it seems when you are not around. But when I hear from you, my frown is flipped upside down. Will we ever see each other again? If we don't, that might just be a sin. I really miss you. I really do. I am thinking of you.

Open Up Your Heart

Open up your heart and let me come in I just want to be your friend. Every problem you have, I can take the danger. Every pain you have, I can take the anger. All the hurt you feel, I can take the tears. All the pain you feel, I can take the fears. When you’re in trouble, I’ll be there. When you’re in trouble, I’ll care. I just wanna be your friend. I’ll stick by you to the end. I’ll be there when you need me. Open up your heart.

Feel No Shame

Don't you feel shame when you're huffing and puffing, but you ain't saying nothing. Don't you feel shame when you're talking much noise with all your boys. Don't you feel shame when you're all alone, witting, waiting by the phone. Don't you feel shame when you're throwing things away and some people have nothing for days and days. Don't you feel shame when you smile in their face, but frown in their back, such a disgrace. Don't you feel shame when you're perpretrating a fraud and breaking all the laws.

Feelings

Feelings. Why must we feel so much hurt? Why are we sometimes treated like dirt? Why do we experience awful pain? Why do love we sometimes gain? We have many feelings, sometimes I don't understand. We have separate feelings, that only you can comprehend. There are so many things to talk about. There is so much we can say. But for the moment, I am having a sad day! Feelings. Why can't we say what we fell? Why are they sometimes not real? Why do we sometimes hide? Why can't we tell what's inside? I know no one knows how I really feel. Because often times the truth I conceal. There are so many things to talk about. There is much we say say. But for the moment, I am having a sad day!

He's The Drugman

I saw some kids playing in the park. I saw some kids playing before dark. They were just chillin in the sandbox. Throwing sand into each others curly locks. And along he came as cold as ice. This man is not nice. I saw some boys playing some basketball. In came the Drugman stepping tall. He told the boys, "I can help you improve your game." He told the boys, "Just watch my game." With a smirk and a grin. He lead them in. Into a world so cold. A world so cold. I saw a girl standing on the street. No food she has to eat. But yet her body she has sold. While she's laying out in the cold. Every week she waits for the Drugman. Every week he puts them in her hands. He's the Drugman. He'll make you an offer that to refuse. He'll give you something you can't use. He's real bad news. He'll have you crying the blues. He's the Drugman. I see your mother crying in the storm. In the church the people sit, it's so warm. The preacher preaches a sermon so sad. Telling how awful and bad. That drugs can be for you. Telling the others not to do.

I Hate This Awful Place

I hate this awful place, because it has no concern, because no respect I earn, because no one talks, because I often walk, because often times I feel pain, because there is only rain. I hate this awful place.

War

War, what is it all about? It's a scary thing, without a doubt. Why must we fight? Isn't there another way, that would seem right. It is very scary to me. Oh God, I pray, please keep me safe, for at least another day. Oh God, I pray, please, Father please, make war go away.

I Wish I Could Cry

I'm like a bottle full to the brim. If I find no relief, it might just end. I'm about to burst wide open where I stand. I wish I could cry. And let the tears fall from my eyes. But alas I can't, it's sad. And it often makes me mad. I want to cry and I won't. I want to cry and I don't. Why can't I cry? Why do no tears fall from my eyes? The pain, The fears, The sadness, No tears. The anger, The jeers, The hurt, No tears. I wish I could cry. And let the tears fall from my eyes. But alas I can't, it's sad. And it often makes me mad. I wish I could cry.

The Story of A Best Friend

This best friend is far more beautiful than the average man can imagine. The way she makes men quiver as she walks by should be a sin. She is nice, sweet, loving, friendly, and most of all kind. And her being my best friend is one thing I don’t mind. Who she is one might ask. If you want to find out, be prepared for a task. I will never tell this precious secret. It is for me to know and you to find out. The story of a best friend.

Here's My Heart

Here's my heart. I am giving it to you. It has come into view. I believe that you are the one. Let's get together and have some fun. Maybe today. Maybe on tomorrow. Do you have a car or will you have to borrow? Cause, I ain't walking anywhere.

I Had a Dream Last Night

I had a dream last night. Love was in the air, flowers were in bloom. Feelings were alright. I had a dream last night. Evil roamed very near. While the air reeked of gloom. Feelings were not so right. I had a dream last night. No one had any hair. No houses had any rooms. Can feelings ever be right?

I Have A Dream

I have a dream. That one-day we all will be able to live together. There will be no threat of war, total domination; everyone will live like brothers. We all will sing a song. The song will know no color, no race, no creed, no place. All the people will be able to shake hands without knowing a special one. If there is a job, it will get done. Without any hassle, without a fight. We will be able to see the breaking of dawn; we can see the light. This can happen one day I know, All we have to do is to wait for that day to come! Lord, when will it come?

I Need To Know; (Me You, You Me)

When first we met, I was nervous. I could not say what I really felt. Because your smile made mw melt. To continue on, to whom does your heart belong? All I could say was, "What's your name?" Then you asked me the same. We talked of music, friends, and life. But I failed to ask, Do you have a wife? I did not even get a number or anything. I did get Larry Springfield, "I'm Just A Man." To quote from Men At Large, "Would you like to dance with me?" Is it possible, me you, you me? I wonder if you recall my name? Shall I tell you it once again? Even if we can only be friends, That would be nice. Friends add such spice to life. I heard Brian McKnight sing, "I was too afraid to ask you, but I need to know, is this the way love goes?" I Need To Know… Me You, You Me.

I Shoulda Been An Athlete

I shoulda been an athlete As much as I jump around. Shooting baskets in the air All those imagery touchdowns. I shoulda been an athlete I got a good victory dance. When I score a touchdown You gotta see my touchdown stance. Playing ball around the way. Thought I was really doing something great. Somebody told me, "You sure look pretty when you play, But you just and got no game." I walked off mad, Because it was true, that's the shame. I shoulda been an athlete.

It’s The Only Way That I Can Say It!

There is something that I want to say, And say it I may, I just may. I hope you understand my though, I hope my hint can be caught. I really like you and I think you’re fine. I have but one thought, that you will be mine. I guess what I’m really trying to say, Is can we go out some night or day? Why in verse you might ask. In verse, this seems an easier task. It is not my humor or my wit. It’s the only way that I can say it!

I've A New Friend

Dedicated to that very special friend. I’ve a new friend and his name is James. Maybe it isn’t, but what’s in a name? I’ve a new friend and his name is Paul. Maybe it isn’t, but we can still go to the mall. I’ve a new friend and his name is Chris. Maybe it isn’t, but during Spring Break, him I’ll miss. I’ve a new friend and his name is Rick. Maybe it isn’t, but he doesn’t make me sick. I’ve a new friend and his name is Greg. Maybe it isn’t when he’s embarrassed he can’t turn red. I’ve a new friend and I won’t tell you his name. When he reads this nothing will change. I’ve mentioned his name maybe once or twice, maybe even three times, I don’t know.

Just Riding the Wave

Strangers come and strangers go None of them I get to know I just watch as they go by Occasionally I get to say hi I’m just riding the wave Chilling and all Enjoying life and trying not to fall By the wayside, into drugs and other stuff I gotta tell ya it can get ruff There’s so much negative influence around It can make a person feel down I just say a prayer And keep riding the wave Being cool and trying to behave Yep, that’s what I do Riding the wave -- cool!
