i - the strangest thing -
i like to look nice when i work / it seems like a good idea / and i can't say why
a man may be dead / a car flipped over in the street this morning / and i can't say why
i'm doing the best that i can / i want to create the music in my head
the stangest thing happened this morning / and now there's a piano in the street
i want to take the piano from the street / it's been calling out to me / and i can't say why
a strange woman asked me for a favor / a beautiful woman put her trust in me / and i can't say why
and i am joyous / and i am scared / and i have to hide
ii - i don't know how other people are -
i've got seven sisters and seven sisters / i've got seven sisters and seven sisters they've got me
i've got seven sisters and seven sisters / i've got seven sisters and seven shadows over me
and sometimes i loose control / and sometimes i don't like myself
and sometimes i loose control / and sometimes i question everything i do
and i see colors / and i see stars / and i don't know how other people are
iii - why do i have to lie? -
now i've made a mistake / and i am in some trouble / and trouble is the last place that i would want to be
i am a nice man who minds his own / now trouble is after me
trouble has face, no soul / only a womans sweet and bitter voice
a beautiful woman wants to take me out / so why do i have to lie?
iv - what did my sister tell her? -
oh, she makes me nervous / i'm trying so hard to not look like i'm trying so hard / but it's hard
she said that she like me / and that she wanted to meet me / but how could this be true / this is hard
and i feel amazing / and aweful, and nervous, and cold / what did my sister tell her? / what did my sister say?
somtimes i loose control
v - i am trying to be honest -
and i am trying / and i am trying to be honest
and somehow she seems to undersatnd / and somehow i am feeling / and somehow i am / and this is good
vi - i'm going to hawaii -
how could this have happend? / i knew i was in trouble
and this is unpresedented / the worst trouble i have ever seen
how could this have happened? / how could i be so foolish?
i have been kidnapped / i have been robbed / i have been chased through the streets
i'm getting out of town / i think it would be a good time
i could go anywhere / but i have nowhere to go / i'm going to hawaii / i'm going to be with my girl
vii - there is no other reason -
i came here to be with you / there's no other reason / and it was the best decision that i have ever made
i want to tell you everything / i want to know everything about you
viii - you make me strong -
i am so sorry that you had to see this / i am so sorry that my trouble came to this
i am so sorry that you got involved / i am so sorry that you got hurt
you make me strong / you make me believe in myself
ix - that's that -
this will not be tolorated / i am in control
i have so much strength in me / you have no idea
i have a love in my life / and it make me stonger than anything / that you could ever imagine
and now you say that that is that / and that this is over / and now this is over
x - the greatest thing -
i took the piano for the street / i fixed it up and learned to play / i did it all for you
i'm doing the best that i can / i want to create the music in my head
the greatest thing happend this morning / and now i feel alive
i can go anywhere / i will go anywhere you go / i did it all for you
the strength that you give me / makes me feel alive / i did it all for you
and i am joyous / and i am scared / and i don't have to hide
