The Good's Gone
I know when I've had enough
When I think your love is rough [chorus:] The good's gone The good's gone The good's gone The good's gone The good's gone out of our love I know it's wrong We should enjoy it, but The good's gone The good's gone Once we used to get along Now, each time we kiss, it's wrong [chorus] Now it ain't no fun And the good's gone now We used to love as one But we have forgotten now I know when I've had enough When I think your love is rough [chorus] It's gone forever 04. La-La-La-Lies
If I'm so lost without a friend
Tell me, who's this by my side? This girl with eyes like gems And cool reactions to your lies Lies La la la la la la lies You can't repeat what you put 'round All the things that made me cry You kicked me when I was down And they hurt me all those lies Lies La la la la la la lies I've got my girl and together we're strong To laugh at you and prove you wrong I don't insist that you feel bad I just want to see you smile Don't ever think you made me mad I didn't listen to your lies Lies La la la la la la lies If I'm so lost without a friend Tell me, who's this by my side? This girl with eyes like gems And cool reactions to your lies Lies La la la la la la lies I don't insist that you feel bad I just want to see you smile Don't ever think you made me mad I didn't listen to your lies Lies La la la la la la lies 05. Much Too Much
Much too much to bear
Your love is hard and fast Your love will always last If it's you I need I've got to pay the levy Got to pay 'Cause your love's too heavy on me And it's much too much to bear If I ever leave you darlin' I hope you see That I really love you But your love's too heavy on me And it's much too much to bear When I make love to you Do all the things you want me to do You never think of me Always cry a bevy Bevy of tears 'Cause your love's too heavy on me And it's much too much to bear There was a time I could give all I had to you But my enthusiasm waned and I can't bear the pain Of doing what I don't want to do Much too much to bear Your love is hard and fast Your love will always last If it's you I need I've got to pay the levy Got to pay 'Cause your love's too heavy on me And it's much too much to bear 06.

A Legal Matter
I told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time I know you thought you had me nailed But I've freed my head from your garden rails Now it's a legal matter, baby You got me on the run It's a legal matter, baby A legal matter from now on My mind's lost in a household fog Wedding gowns and catalogs Kitchen furnishings and houses Maternity clothes and baby's trousers Now it's a legal matter, baby Marryin's no fun It's a legal matter, baby A legal matter from now on I told you why I changed my mind I got bored by playing with time I know you thought you had me nailed Well, I've freed my head from your garden rails Now it's a legal matter, baby You got me on the run It's a legal matter, baby A legal matter from now on You ain't the first and you ain't the last I gain and lose my women fast I never want to make them cry I just get bored, don't ask me why Just wanna keep doing all the dirty little things I do And not work all day in an office just to bring my money back to you Sorry, baby |
