Make me laugh,
Make me sad,
Cuz bitter is just another
Side of sweet.

La-la la la, la-la-la-la la la
La-la-la-la la, la-la la,la-la la

Tell me,
Who was she
Who was he,
Hold my hand,
Make me laugh
Make me sad,
Cuz bitter is just another
Side of sweet.

La-la la la, la-la-la-la la la
La-la-la-la la, la-la la,la-la la

Clicking tongues,
Clicking tongues,
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
If it was true.

Cuz I'm hurt
Cuz I'm hurt...


Fingers slip,
Words hang on lips unsaid,
Was it true?
You've been distant,
Far away.

I didn't know.
It's too late
I tried to find a quiet place,
Escape the sound of settling.

Tears fell

I didn't know
I didn't know

You never felt the same.

Everything you ever wanted
Changes your mind
But you disagree.

Can't you see
The things that you do
Take me home
To small singing birds,

Reminds me of how
I'll always be just a little
Lonely.

Someday
Let's meet on the subway,
One dark December evening
From the window we'll watch:
The world turn grey beneath the snow.

So that you could understand
I wish you knew
About my joys and fears.

La-la la la, la-la-la-la la la
La-la-la-la la, la-la la,la-la la

I'm a lone soul
Living in a strange world
Finding it hard to move along.

La-la la la, la-la-la-la la la
La-la-la-la la, la-la la,la-la la

Tell me
Who was she
Who was he
Hold my hand
Make me laugh
Make me sad
But just don't leave,
Cuz bitter is just another
Side of sweet.

La-la la la, la-la-la-la
La-la la la, la-la-la-la la la
La-la-la-la la, la-la la,la-la la....

Something about what she did and what you'd go for to hang on to her.

Lyrical in parts especially as a choral group joins in on the 'la-la's'.

I apologize in advance if I come off as insensitive in the face of heartaches.

Just sayin'.
A good read altogether.


88's friend

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".
