you sit on your own feeling out of place
you hardly recognize a familiar face
you'd be having fun it's new year's eve
but your mind is telling you to leave
then someone offers you a glass of wine
you feel OK oh, you feel fine
but then you start wondering why
is it the wine or is it the guy
you feel OK yeah, you feel alright
still sitting there with someone by your side
is it the magic of a new year's wish
both of you are longing for a kiss
before one of you could even realize
you're looking into each other's eyes
lips come closer and you wonder why
is it the wine or is it the guy
it's getting late, already morning
this all happened without any warning
is it the magic of a new year's wish
he knows you're someone he's going to miss
cell phone numbers are being exchanged
a new meeting also arranged
until then you keep wondering why
is it the wine or is it the guy
i was watching this tsunami coming towards the shores
and i realized i couldn't get away
i took my baby by the hand get inside and closed the door
and hoped to see another day
i tried to say "i love you girl" she was my dearest friend
love is the hardest word to say
made promises to stay together till the very end
what else could we do but pray and pray
then there was this giant wave straight from hell it seems
and it washed away everything i knew
it was the end of paradise the end of all my dreams
and yet i only had a few
the sea took my baby away from me
and i'll be waiting on the beach
for the rest of my life you will find me there
till the sea will give my baby back to me
still standing on the burning sand next to my bamboo cabin
more than fifteen years already passed
still searching the horizon for a miracle to happen
while memories no longer seem to last
every single photograph i'd pinned upon the wall
had been buried under tons of misery
the sea not only took away everything i owned
it was still poisoning my mind with trickery
but then it happened on a stormy day it was december
exactly like sixteen years before
just when there was no face or smile that i could still remember
there was a knock upon my bamboo door
the sea took my baby away from me
and i'll be waiting on the beach
for the rest of my life you will find me there
till the sea will give my baby back to me
i was welcoming the sea the closest friend i had in years
too late for the door to be closed
as all my hope had gone, also gone were all my fears
yet something happened what i'd always feared the most
the waves embraced my body as a lover in distress
and kissed me till i couldn't breathe no more
they say when you die you see your life in a flash
all i could see was my sweet baby at the door
i reached for her i grabbed her fingertip her fingernail
to say "i love you" to look her in the eyes
at last my baby was so close and yet again i failed
to hold and see a glimpse of paradise
i have a mum, a new dad too
a brother and a sister and a cat
now i don't know what to do
thinking all the time of my real dad
after seven years he has found
a brand new love for my dad
she's got a daughter of her own
and where's my place in all that
i've been crying all night long
and i no longer know what to do
i want to be happy and to be strong
and i want him to be happy too
is jealousy making me feel so bad
because they can see him more than i
i want to spend more time with my dad
but maybe that will make my mummy cry
daddy i'm still your little girl
don't you forget about me
i still need you daddy dear
do you still need me
i'm alone but not alone
it's hard for me to explain
at my dad it's not my home
inbetween seven years of pain
and he's got a family now
and her daughter's got a new dad
i want to tell him; don't know how
afraid it'll make him sad
hey kitty kitty
come and sit on my lap
you can stay there all night long
hey kitty kitty
don't you feel so bad
you that that i won't do you no wrong
i'd never cut a nail
i'd never pull your tail
i'd do anything to make you feel at ease
i would pet your fur
i would make you purr
i'd do anything i can do to please
hey kitty kitty
come and sit on my lap
you can stay there all night long
hey kitty kitty
don't you feel so bad
you know that i won't do you no wrong
i'd let you crawl on my head
i'd let you sleep in my bed
i'd do anything to make you feel at ease
i'd let you lick my skin
i'd let you do your thing
and i know that you love it to get teased
hey kitty kitty
...
i know a lot of girls
i know a lot of guys
but i would like to know
why everybody lies
most of 'em will say
hey you're my best friend
but every night it's me
all alone in the end
i could bet used
of being used
if it would make me happy
instead of so confused
i am the one
they need for fun
i'm a gadget
that can talk and run
i know a lot of girls
...
i've heard laughter
i've heard the cries
it only makes me miserable
if it ain't nothin' but lies
i am the one
they always need
i'm a gadget
for their own greed
i know a lot of girls
...
I had a rough day
I needed a drink
I had to get away
And disappeared in a blink
She saw me leave my flat
And followed me that night
And on a bar stool she sat
Gently by my side
She offered me a brandy
One I couldn�t refuse
Tasty as sugar candy
Oh i was bound to lose
I drank too much that night
And i lost self control
The same day that my love had died
The day i lost it all
Yes, i went to her place
We made love all night long
And stayed there for a coupla days
And i knew it was wrong
As i got back home
Boy, i had to look twice
No longer home alone
Oh what a big surprise
A brand new start
She never looked better
Will she ever know how hard
It was just to forget her
if i would win one hundred million
i�d buy an island in the pacific
if i would win one hundred million
i know my garden will be terrific
if i would win one hundred million
i�d invite a thousand friends
if i would win one hundred million
i�ll forget you, no offence
but all i win is a thousand dreams
one in the morning
one at night
and one when i see you
three a day the whole year through
yellow words in a burgundy sky
but one is blue and that is the lie
the red sarcasm of the sunset now
is a result of what we cannot allow
the blue one is a four letter word
it starts as hope and it ends as hurt
so be aware when green occurs
'cos then you'll know things can't get worse
once words weer white and clear
wrong colours give you fear
a champ like him shows no stress
just the biggest smile in any kinda mess
but hey, after his final whistle
he will make everybody listen
to a tale of records and all that jazz
what he has found, wherever he was
oh boy, he loves red and white
for hair and skin, with all his might
steel balls fondling in his hand
three pairs rolling in the sand
and under the golden pelican sun
he yells "New York, here I come!"
doing the manhattan mambo with lady day
near the wonder wheel on thanksgiving day
listening to louis with his prima donna
it's easy to find him if you wanna
next to his beer you'll see a dozen more
cos good ol' mikey has... friends galore
