My Life '97
02:27
|
|||

My life is my life
And I can do what I like
I don't care who tries to tell me I'm wrong
Because my life is my life
Things change
Some things remain the same
Sometimes you got to know
When to act, not react
My needs, well they are so strong
I don't know where they're coming from
But I know what I know
I know where I'm going to
Because my life is my life
And that's the truth
So you see your life for what it's worth
Things change, rearranged
You can't go on being trampled on
Sometimes you got to know when to say stop
My life is my life
And I can do what I like
I don't care who tries to tell me I'm wrong
Because my life is my life

Moya, Yeah, Why?

Listen to the man
Who doesn't know a thing
He always talks his way
Into every situation
Sorry for the boys
Who haven't got a voice
They never get their say
In any conversation
Well it's easy
To say it's easy
When it's not that hard
Yeah, I should know
Yeah, I should know
Listen to the fool
Not sitting on any hill
He's sitting right here
Right here, bending my ear
Well it's hard, yeah
It's the hardest thing
To change yourself
Before you change the world
Listen to the man
Who doesn't know a thing
He always talks his way
Into every conversation
Sorry for the boys
Who haven't got a voice
They never get their say
No way
In any conversation
Listen to the man
Moya, yeah, why

Where Do You Stand? '97
03:32
|

|
ooks like it's gonna rain today
Wonder if it's the same around your way
They want you to see
What they want you to see
Nothing more or less
For you to digest
Where do you stand
Which side of the fence are you on?
Is the grass greener over there
Where you say you come from?
On the other side
You can see for miles
On the other side
They're having a good time
Sounds like a case of the bland leading the dead to me
or maybe it's just a case of mistaken identity
They want you to see
What they want you to see
Nothing more or less
So you can digress
Where do you stand
Which side of the fence are you on?
Is the grass greener over there
Where you say you come from?
On the other side
You can see for miles
On the other side
They're having a good time
On the other side
You can see for miles, and miles, and miles
Where do you stand
Which side of the fence are you on?
Is the grass greener over there
Where you say you come from?
Where do you stand?

Back IV More
03:05

If you want a good time
I know where to go
To take it easy
Nice and slow
Now there's a session
with an invitation
To come along
I don't know why
But I know I do
Lovers, rockers,
Ragga too
I'll stay all night,
Once I'm with you
No wine,
Still, I'm feeling so fine
I love this feeling
All the time
I don't know why
But I know I do
But I know I do
I keep on coming back for more
If you want a good time
I know where to go
I know a place where we can go
Where we can carry on
And I will take you there
See I will take you anywhere
I will take you anywhere
I don't know why
But I know I do
But I know I do
I keep on coming back for more
I don't know why
But I know I do
But I know I do
I keep on coming back for more
I keep on coming back for more

The Truth
03:00
|

|
I thought I knew you
I couldn't be further from the truth
I really thought I knew you
I was wrong
How was it I was fooled by you
For so long
Memories are all I got
All you left behind
Know I smile and try to hide
The hurt I feel inside
The hurt I feel inside
The hurt I feel inside
How could you treat me this way?
By leaving me this way?
How could I be such a fool for you?
This is the first time
The last time
This will happen to me (I shoulda known better)
I'll get over you
Wait and see
But for now
The hurt I feel inside
Is so very hard to hide
Don't call it pride
It's just the pain that I feel inside
The hurt I feel inside
The hurt I feel inside
And I thought I knew you
I couldn't be further from the truth
And I thought I knew you
I couldn't be further from the truth
I couldn't be further from the truth
I couldn't be further from the truth
I couldn't be further from the truth
I couldn't be further from the truth
