I concede that you were right about this placeI can make a perfect likeness of your body if I traceI can hold you 'til you turn out the lightAnd I can't see
Do you believe we are all innately goodDo you think that you would love me 'til tomorrow if you couldWould you please turn down the radioSo we can speak
I put my hands around your neckYou wrap your arms around meI put my hands around your neckYou wrap your arms around meI put my hands around your neckYou wrap your arms around meI put my hands around your neckYou wrap your arms around me
I regret every time I raised my voiceAnd it wouldn't be that bright of me to say I had no choiceI can kiss your eyes your hair your neck'Til we forget
I concede that you were right about this placeI can make a perfect likeness of your body if I traceI can hold you 'til you turn out the light,And I can't see

You know he's not the kind of man who likes to see the world around himCrumble to a ball around his feetSo he's always ready, he's always set, he's always well-preparedHe's the most peculiar man you'd care to meet
You know he's not the king of Bedside ManorHe's not the Tom Jones who lives next doorHe's not the king of Bedside ManorHe hardly even lives there anymore
He says "excuse me I hope you don't mind that I followed you into this shopBut I couldn't help but notice that riding cropSticking out of your haversackWell I wouldn't mind riding you bareback"
He's subtle on the dancefloor and he's suave around the barHe's a quick draw with a lighter, he's a pseudo movie starYou know he was quite a singer, quite an actor quite some time agoHe had quite a famous program, late night bedtime TV show
You know he's not the king of Bedside ManorHe's not the Tom Jones who lives next doorHe's not the king of Bedside ManorHe hardly even lives there anymore
Well, he opens up the curtains at the crack of dawnJust to see the lovely ladies who have come and goneFrom the house next door to his house on the laneHe consoles himself that he's got his health and he knows he can't complain
You know he's not the king of Bedside ManorHe's not the Tom Jones who lives next doorHe's not the king of Bedside ManorHe hardly even lives there anymore
He's not the king of bedside manorHe's not the king of bedside manorHardly even lives there any more
Styx!Domo arigato Mr. Roboto
He's not the king, he's not the king, he's not the kingOf bedside manor

I never thought that you would love meThe way that you do. I never thought that you would love meHalf as much as I do. You say you want to know everything about me,Well, here you go;You say you couldn't live your life without me,I don't know;But if you want it girl, you got it; It's all right here in my box set.
I never thought that words like productCould ever leave my lips, But something happened to me somewhereThat made me lose my grip. Well, maybe it's a lack of inspiration That makes me stoop, Or maybe it's a lack of remuneration;I can't recoup. But if you want it, folks, you got it; It's all right here in my box set.
Disc One It's where we've begun, it's all my greatest hits, And if you are a fan then you know that you've already got 'em
Disc Two It was all brand new, an album's worth of songs, but we had to leave the whole disc blank 'cause some other label bought 'em
Disc Three This is really me in a grade school play, I had about a hundred thousand lines, but of course I forgot 'em
I never thought there'd be days like this, There was always someone at my door. I never thought I would ever miss, And the crowd would always holler for more. But now it seems all that people want Is what I used to be And every time I try to do something new, All they want is 1973.
I never thought I'd be regretful Of all my past success, But some stupid number one hit single Has got me in this mess. You can put it on every compilation -- that's alright. You can hear it on the oldies radio station every night. And if you want it again, you got it -- It's right here in my box set.
Disc Four Never released before, and you can tell why; It's just some demos I recorded in my basement.
Disc Five I was barely alive, I was hacking up a lung So they had to use a special computer as my replacement.
Disc Six A dance remix, to catch the latest trend and it'll make you scratch your head and wonder where my taste went.
So now my fans are crying sellout, They say I've lost my touch. They say I should just get the hell out Before I do too much. Hear my songs in an ad for a bathroom cleanser -- They say it's greed, And now I'm wondering where my friends are In this time of need. But if you change your mind and buy it, I hope you enjoy my new boxI hope you enjoy my new boxI hope you enjoy my new box set.

Chorus I love you And you love me I love you So let's make a family tree.
I like soup, and I like ice cream sandwiches too. I like fish sticks, but I love you. You don't believe me, You say all I think about's myself. Let me explain, don't walk away.
I love me You love you I love me So what are we to do?
How would you know, that I love you so? I don't say too much. Why are you blue whenever I'm in town? I guess life was fine till I came 'round.
You've given me a start, I ain't no doctor but just take a look at the chart for my heart like a dart from the start I'm coming down with something good. It ain't no fever or flu, doctor says it had to be someone with brown hair and blue eyes, I'm lovesick for you I realize.
I's loves you And youse loves me I's loves you So let's make a family tree.
How would you know, that I love you so? I don't say too much. Why are you blue whenever I'm in town? I guess life was fine till I came 'round.

I didn't ask to be famous, but I'm not sore'Cause you can see my face in the window of every storeYou can buy my lunchbox, and you can wear my clothesYou can remember my name just as plain as the face under your nose
I'm a New Kid on the BlockThough I may not be Johann Sebastian BachSo we may not write the songs we singBut look at Elvis, he sold his soul and you crowned him King
I didn't ask to be famous, but I'm not sadYou see, I've got everything that I always wished I hadI thank my managers and I thank the screaming girlsI thank my hairdresser for giving me such beautiful curls
Now I'm a New Kid on the BlockWell I'm twenty-three and they won't let me grow upI went down to register fot the draftWell I got up to the counter and the lady there just laughed
She said "you're a New Kid on the BlockYoung girls scream and old boys mockWell you broke my youngest daughter's heartWell I knew you kids were trouble from the start"
I didn't ask to be famous, but I'm not sureThat we're as apple pie as you always thought we wereI can stay up all night, and I can have a blastI can breakdance, I can fight, I can kick your sorry ass
I'm a New Kid on the Block,And though I may not be Johann Sebastian BachThere's no need to be afraid of usThough it just might be your daughter on our bus.

Here we are again, and we're looking at each otherAs if each other were to blameYou think you're so smart but I've seen you nakedAnd I'll probably see you naked againMilli Vanilli told you to blame it on the rainBut if you blame it on the rain tell me what can be gainedSo if all else fails you can blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on meIf all else fails, you can blame it on meIf all else fails, blame it on meIf all else fails, you can blame it on me
Then you smile again but you're looking at me like there'sSomething I'm supposed to sayForgive me Father, but I've fallen in loveAnd that's all I have for confession todayMaybe if you asked me on any other given dayI wouldn't have time for you or anything that you sayBut it's all right now, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, you can blame it on meIf all else fails, you can blame it on meIf all else fails, blame it on meIf all else fails, you can blame it on me
Yes dear I love youBut sometimes I think that love's not enough for youSo you wanna play mind gamesWell that's fine, go ahead, la la la, I can't hear you
Well here you are and you're a hundred thousand miles awayThey say that absence makes the heart grow fungusI wax poetic while you're waxing your legsYou say you think there's a traitor amoung us
If all else fails, you can blame it on meIf all else fails, you can blame it on meIf all else fails, blame it on meIf all else fails, you can blame it on me

The phone rings, it's early, it's seven o'clockHe says "sorry I woke you but I just had to talkYou know last night, remember when I tried to choke youI didn't mean it, I was drunk, it was only a joke"You should know that by nowWhen the checkered flag comes downNo one, no one, no one has won the race
The next night he's over and over and underAnd after he's finished, she lies there and wondersJust why does she need him, and why does she stay hereAnd then in the darkness she'll quietly say "DearYou've never really knownThat when the white flag is flownNo one, no one, no one has won the war"
They're complicated people leading complicated livesAnd he complicates their problems by telling complicated liesHe tells her he's sorry, she tells him it's overHe tells her he's sorry, she says over and over"You've never really knownThat when the white flag is flownNo one, no one, no one has, won the war"
There goes a forest and there goes a bluebirdThere goes a partridge and there goes a Go trainThere goes an angel and there goes a steepleThere goes a cop car and there goes an eagleThere goes a raven and there go the ribbonsThere goes a raven and there go...The ribbons, the ribbons, the ribbonsThe ribbons of the flag

I climb the walls of my mindJust like I'm climbing on a jungle gymI am more than content withThe state of mind I am in'Cause I am crazy just like youI am crazy just like you
I don't think I need a rubber room But that might be niceI'm not a manic depressive paranoid or schizophrenic So I don't need your adviceI am crazy just like youI am crazy just like you
The lights are on but nobody's homeMy elevator doesn't go to the topI'm not playing with a full deckI've lost my marblesThe lights are on but nobody's homeMy elevator doesn't go to the topI'm not playing with a full deckI've lost my marbles
I'm a few bricks short of a loadBut a full load always hurts my backI flew over the cuckoo's nest and I'm never ever coming backBecause I am crazy just like youI am crazy just like youI am crazy just like youI am crazy just like youI am crazy
