mayer hawthorne - a long time

Oh, Henry was a renegade
Never liked to play it safe
One component at a time
There's got to be a better way
Ohh people came from miles around
Searching for a steady job
Welcome to the Motor Town
Boomin' like an atom bomb

Bridge:
Oh, Henry was the end of the story,
Then everything went wrong
And we'll return it to its former glory
But it just takes so long

Chorus:
It's gonna take a long time
It's gonna take it but we'll make it one day
It's gonna take a long time
It's gonna take it but we'll make it one day

Oh, Barry had a record store
Started up a studio
Oh, West Grand Boulevard
Turned it into solid gold
Oh, people all around the world

Tunin' into radios

Welcome to the Motor Town
Buckle up 'cause here we go

Bridge:
Oh, Barry was the end of the story,
Then everything went wrong
And we'll return it to its former glory
But it just takes so long

Chorus:
It's gonna take a long time
It's gonna take it but we'll make it one day
It's gonna take a long time
It's gonna take it but we'll make it one day

Wherever we're going
It's gonna take it but we'll make it one day
Whatever we're doing
It's gonna take it but we'll make it one day
However you want it
It's gonna take it but we'll make it one day.

mayer hawthorne - a strange arrangement

We took the long and steady road
And from the start you had a heart of gold, you broke the mold
I never thought you would decide
The grass was greener on the other side of love?s divide

You were everything that I wanted and more
Now we can?t go back where we started, never be like before

Darlin? me and you, we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and I?m through with playing the fool for love
Darlin? yes it?s true we had a grand engagement
But I can?t stand by while you break my heart in two, oh
I?ve got to be a man, baby I?ve got to take a stand

So now we gone our separate ways
But in my heart I feel the burning flames of love?s remains
Now I have to find somebody new
But all who dare will be compared to you
What can I do?

You were everything that I dreamed I would find
Now we can?t go back where we started this is the end of the line

Darling me and you we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and I?m through playing the fool for love
Darlin? yes it?s true we had a grand engagement
But I can?t stand by while you break my heart in two, oh
I?ve got to be a man, baby I?ve got to take a stand

Me and you, we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and I?m through playing the fool for love
Darlin? yes it?s true we had a grand engagement
But I can?t stand by while you break my heart in two, no
I?ve got to be a man, baby I?ve got to take a stand

mayer hawthorne - a new love

Everywhere I look I see her
Ring around my eyes
Like a burgundy wine
Staring out my bedroom window
Feel her from behind
But I'm losing my mind

And oh
What do I do
Darling when the strangest things
Are reminding me of you
I gotta find a new love
Let the old one die
Yes, I'm through love
This is goodbye

I gotta find a new love
'Cause it's been too long
For some true love
Gotta move on
So long, I'm gone

Every time I walk I hear her
Calling out to me
Like a ghost in the wind
Just when I think I don't need her
Needle hits the end
Starts all over again

And oh, what do I do
Darling when the strangest things
Are reminding me of you
I gotta find a new love
Put the old one back
For some true love
This is goodbye
I gotta find a new love
'Cause it's been too long
For some true love
Gotta move on
So long, I'm gone

[Hook]
I gotta find a new love
Put the old one back
For some true love
This is goodbye
I gotta find a new love
'Cause it's been too long
For some true love
Gotta move on
So long, I'm gone

mayer hawthorne - can t stop

I can't stop thinking about you
The way you turn me on
I can't stop thinking about you
No, no, no, baby

You stole my heart girl
(What a crying shame)
Yeah, a love torn apart girl
(And I was to blame)
Visions of you now
(When I close my eyes)
I can't let you go girl
(You've got me hypnotized)

I can't stop thinking about you
The way you turn me on
I can't stop thinking about you

I tried to fight it
But I can't let go
Cause everything about you is so incredible
I wanna play with your body
Softly, softly
And maybe we can get naughty
I'm so bossy, bossy
I always think of you and it makes me wait
I try to find the words to say
But I just can't speak
I'm so high and she's the reason why
Baby maybe we can spend some time
When you and I get intertwined
And you can let me hit it from behind

And now the winner report
I've started facing my infatuation
You have combination that's so hard to find
And when I'm chasing all the nights we've had in my imagination
I get a revelation that just blows my mind

I can't stop thinking about you
The way you turn me on
I can't stop thinking about you

I can't stop thinking about you
The way you turn me on
I can't stop thinking about you

mayer hawthorne - allie jones

You held the world, like a photograph
Hung up and curled, now it's torn in half
Too old, too fast, too much for you
Now what the fuck am I supposed to do?

Will I get that call tomorrow?
Will you throw it all away?

Allie Jones...
You could have had it all
Allie Jones...
Your back's against the wall
Allie Jones...
Your folks don't even know
Allie Jones...
Don't let, don't let
GO!
Don't let go!

Can't run away, gotta play your hand
Get through the day any way you can
The hope, the pain, in your daughter's eyes
The only thing keeping you alive.

Will I read it in the paper?
Will you leave it all behind?

Allie Jones...
You could have had it all
Allie Jones...
Your back's against the wall
Allie Jones...
Your folks don't even know
Allie Jones...
Don't let, don't let
GO!
Don't let go!

Allie,
Hold on,
(x4)

But you don't let,
But you don't let,
But you don't let go!
Don't let go!

mayer hawthorne - all better

Love don't bring me down
You can turn me around
Love don't lead me out
And then leave me all alone

Love don't do me wrong
I've been waiting too long
Love don't set me up
And then pull the rug away

[Chorus]
Love can make me all better
Love can make me all right
Love can pull me together
So just make me all better tonight.

Love don't say goodbye
Leave me wondering why
Love don't come halfway
And leave one foot out the door

Love please let me stay
Don't you throw me away
Love don't wring me out
And then hang me up to dry.

[Chorus]

mayer hawthorne - chasing the feeling

It's a long look in the mirror
Your reflection getting clearer
As you breathe out
But you don't need to reveal it
'Cause we both know what the deal is
When you sneak out

Give me all with your back to the wall
And your face to the ceiling
It'll always be escaping
This feeling we're chasing away
And it's holding us together
But it won't get any better than the first time
It'll always be escaping
This feeling we're chasing away

We're chasing the feeling
Still chasing the feeling
We're chasing the feeling

It's the flicker of the candle
And you're way too much to handle
When you lit it
Now we're coasting and we won't
Settle for almost when we're so close
To the limit

Give me all with your fist in a ball
And a thief in your temple
It'll always be escaping
This feeling we're chasing away
And it's holding us together
But it won't get any better than the first time
It'll always be escaping
This feeling we're chasing away

We're chasing the feeling
Just chasing the feeling
We're chasing the feeling
We're chasing the feeling
Still chasing the feeling
We're chasing the feeling

It's a long look in the mirror
Your reflection getting clearer
As you breathe out

mayer hawthorne - dreaming

I had a dream today
Somewhere I've never been before
An old familiar face
One that I swear I've seen before

And I think I'm going crazy
Yes I think I'm going crazy
But I known, all along
But there's no restitution for what we've done
No resolution and I
I just can't take it anymore

I had a dream today
That California sank below
And all along the way
They watch their favorite TV show

The suns were all around
The Golden Gate was broken down
How heavy is the hair
But where's that old and faithful prom

And I think I'm going crazy
Yes I think I'm going crazy
Because I known, all along
That there's no restitution for what we've done
No explanation and I
I just can't fake it anymore

Bubububababa
Bububababa
Badom
Things will never be lonely

Bubububababa
Bububababa
Badom
Things will never be lonely

Who knew the palm sunshine
Could be so detrimental

I had a dream today
That puxatony gathered round
At much to their dismay
They saw a shadow on the ground

And I think I'm going crazy
Yes I think I'm going crazy
Because I've known, all along
But there's no restitution for what we've done
No substitution and I
I just can't take it anymore

I had a dream today
Somewhere I've never been before

mayer hawthorne - finally falling

I used to be
A soldier for the single life
I used to think
I'd be the last man standing from '79
I used to say
That love was just a masquerade
I used to lie awake at night
Just thinking, if i'd ever know

But the day that you came into my life
I started to believe it was possible
There's a feeling so unstoppable
I can't control

Could it be
I'm finally falling
I'm starting to think it's true
Could it be
I'm finally falling
I'm falling for you
Oh, i'm falling for you

I used to be
The envy of my married friends
I used to get all of the girls
Phone numbers and i'd never call
I used to say
That love will never tie me down
I'd be a rider, damn man, strong cowboy
My back to the wall

But the day that you came into my life
I started to believe it was possible
There's a feeling so unstoppable
I can't control, can't control

Could it be
I'm finally falling
I'm starting to think it's true
Could it be
I'm finally falling
I'm falling for you
Oh, i'm falling for you

I never knew that i would find
With this old jaded heart of mine
Someone so sweet and fine
I could be with all the lifetime

Now could it be
I'm finally falling
I'm starting to think it's true
Could it be
I'm finally falling
I'm falling for you

Could it be
I'm finally falling
Lord knows i'm overdue
Could it be
I'm finally falling
I'm falling for you
Oh, i'm falling for you

My love, my green eyed love
We'll watch the clouds from above
C'mon, lift me up

Take me away from it all

mayer hawthorne - hooked

Uh baby
I'm hooked ridin' back on you
Maybe it looked like we were through
But baby I'm hooked ridin' back on you
Ain't a thing I can do

When we go out at night
You never talk to me
But when you hold me tight
With all my might
I can't seem to break free

You got me hooked but I don't care
Cause I don't wanna go nowhere
But I can't stay for another day
I got to get away

But baby
I'm hooked ridin' back on you
Maybe it looked like we were through
But baby I'm hooked ridin' back on you
Ain't a thing I can do

I give you all my love
You never give it back
But when you hold me close
You almost give me a heart attack

You got me hooked but I don't mind
Cause I don't wanna leave your side
But I can't stay, even one more day
I've got to say goodbye

You know
You're such a bad girl, bad girl
You got me in your trap girl, bad girl
Why don't you let me be, bad girl, bad girl
Why do you torture me, bad girl, bad girl

You got me hooked but I don't care
Cause I don't wanna go nowhere
But I can't stay for another day
I got to get away

But baby
I'm hooked ridin' back on you
Maybe it looked like we were through
But baby I'm hooked ridin' back on you
Ain't a thing I can do
Baby I'm hooked ridin' back on you
Maybe it looked like we were through
But baby I'm hooked ridin' back on you
Ain't a thing I can do

mayer hawthorne - i left my heart in san francisco

The loveliness of Paris
Seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome
Is of another day
I've been terribly alone and Forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the bay

I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars
Climb halfway to the stars!
The morning fog will chill the air
I don`t care!

My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco,
Your golden sun will shine for me!
