You Don’t Write
By Jake Dalton
You don’t write
You don’t call
You don’t do anything at all
‘Cept tell me that you love me
In a perfunctory
Way
It ain’t right
I’m not wrong
We can’t say what’s goin’ on
My frustration
Is not on your wave
Length
It ain’t right
I can’t feel
I wonder what is the deal
Do you really love me?
Or am I thinkin’
Crazy
I need to be asleep
I need to be sedated
I needed to be down deep
I need to be berated
I need to feel Passion
I need to feel lovin’
You are not getting
The whole thing about touching
It ain’t right
I’m not deep
I’m just lookin’ for some relief
Show me that you love me
Morning, noon and
Night
You don’t write
You don’t call
You don’t do anything at all
‘Cept tell me that you love me
In a perfunctory
Way
Tell me that you love me
In a perfunctory
Way
Tell me that you love me
In a perfunctory
Way

What Do You Want From Me Now?
What do you want from me now?
What do you want from me now?
You violated your wedding vow
So what do you want from me now?
How can I answer your call?
How can I answer your call?
You’re just a woman with your own sweet life
I’m just a kid with my own
You should crawl back to your man
You should crawl back to your man
Leave me alone and forget about it
Go back to your home where you belong
What do you want from me now?
What do you want from me now?
You violated your wedding vow
So what do you want from me now?
Why did you fall in love with me?
Why did you fall in love with me?
I never did a thing to encourage you
You did it all on your own
I was just being myself
I was just being myself
You lost touch with reality
It was just a job to me
What do you want from me now?
What do you want from me now?
You violated you wedding vow
So what do you want from me now?
So what do you want from me now?
So what do you want from me now?

Constant Cryin’
Constant cryin’
It’s not like me to get over you
But we’re through
I’ll get over it someday
Feels like dying
Comin’ down from my high horse
It gets worse
You can’t make it go away
Constant cryin’
It’s not like me to get over you
But we’re through
I’ll claim indifference
Like in baseball when they give the runner
Second base
We’re never getting’ our own place
Hold my hand
Walk with me to parts unknown
Let’s get born
I will always be here for you
Constant cryin’
Intention noted
When there’s a reason we’ll talk again
You’re my friend
We’re not together anymore
Constant cryin’
It’s not like me to get over you
But we’re through
I’ll get over it someday
I’ll get over it someday
I’ll get over it someday

Moths on a Light Bulb
Oh no
Like moths on a light bulb baby
The men are flying around you
And they won’t leave you alone Oh no
Like sperm swimming for the egg babe
He’s looking all around for love
But the egg is nowhere to be found she’s not home
Like sand in the hourglass baby
The grains are dropping on down
And soon they will all be gone all gone (3x on out)
Oooo Oooo
Oooo Oooo
I’m on fire, I
Can’t get any higher
Oooo Ooo
Oooo Oooo
Oooo Oooo
Oooo Oooo
Oh no
Like moths on a light bulb baby
The men are flying around you
And they won’t leave you alone Oh no
Oh no
Oh no

Kathleeen
Kathleen was in my dream world
She had a head of long, blonde hair
She threw it all around her
I didn’t know what she was doing there
I never knew what she was doing there
She tried and tried and went nowhere
Kathleen
Kathleen was in my dream world
She ran and started to fade away
I reached out my hand to hold her
But she did not want to be saved
She wanted to find her own right way
She wanted to greet the brand new day
Kathleen
I don’t
Know you , I
Hope some
Day I will
Kathleen was in my dream world
She had a head of long, blonde hair
She threw it all around her
I didn’t know if she was really there
I never knew if she was really there
I strained my eyes and saw nowhere
Kathleen
Some day
Distant
You will
Be grown
I will
Remember you with your
Million
Dollar smile
Kathleen was in my dream world
She had a head of long, blonde hair
She threw it all around her
I said, Mama don’t make her cut if off
Please don’t make her cut if off
Unless it’s for the Locks of Love
Kathleen

I Won't Let You Love Me

I Won’t Let You Love Me
I won’t let you love me
It just wouldn’t be right
I won’t let you love me
It just wouldn’t be right
Find yourself a good man
And keep him in sight
I won’t let you love me
It just wouldn’t be right
If you told me you loved me
I don’t know what I’d do
If you told me you loved me
I don’t know what I’d do
I know all the rules
They don’t let me love you
If you told me you loved me
I don’t know what I’d do
You know that I love you
But it breaks all the rules
You know that I love you
But it breaks all the rules
We can fix it all up
We just need the tools
We’re not supposed to kiss
But maybe we should
Maybe we should
Maybe we should
I won’t let you love me
It just wouldn’t be right
I won’t let you love me
It just wouldn’t be right
Find yourself a good man
And keep him in sight
I won’t let you love me
It just wouldn’t be right
It just wouldn’t be right
It just wouldn’t be right

It's Me With the Pins

It’s Me with the Pins
It’s me that the pins are sticking into
It’s me that the pins are sticking into
Your voodoo ways are locked in place
Hey it’s me with the pins yea it’s me with the pins
I know you don’t love a lot
But you don’t have to hate so much
I wish it was different I wish it was better
Now I have to recharge Go write another letter, says
It’s me that the pins are sticking into
It’s me that the pins are sticking into
Your voodoo ways are locked in place
Hey it’s me with the pins yea it’s me with the pins
I’ve had enough I think we’re toast
Still despite everything I love you the most
I wish you were tender I wish you were loving
I wish for a miracle I’ll be happy with something
Maybe you don’t Do it on purpose
The venom just spits When you get nervous
I looked so hard For someone to love
I can’t believe You’re the one I got, and
It’s me that the pins are sticking into
It’s me that the pins are sticking into
Your voodoo ways are locked in place
Hey it’s me with the pins yea it’s me with the pins
You voodoo ways have got to change
Hey I don’t want the pins No I don’t want the pins

Did You Find Somebody?

Did You Find Somebody?
Did you find somebody to love again?
Are you foolin’ around with your brand new friend?
Are you leavin’ me in the dust again
Hey do me a favor and fill me in
I’d rather know
Hey I can take it
To spare my feelings
You’d have to fake it
And you’re not too good at that
Get off my case you’re bumming me out
I never said I had it all figured out
Would you just back off and be my friend
I love you so much I can’t say it again
You always tell me how much you love me
Then no word from Monday to Sunday
Later apologize profusely
Complain I am too sensitive a guy
Yea you are a sensitive guy
You act like I don’t have my own life
I need to set out on my own path
I won’t be the first and I won’t be the last
Gimme a break I’ve heard the appeal
You’re stringin’ me along ‘til you get a new deal
Some fertile farm guy with it all together
Home sweet babies leave me all alone
Did you find somebody to love again?
Are you foolin’ around with your brand new friend?
Are you leavin’ me in the dust again
Hey do me a favor and fill me in
I’d rather know
Hey I can take it
To spare my feelings
You’d have to fake it
And you’re not too good at that

The New Baby
I’m workin’ on the new baby now
I’m workin’ on the new baby now
You better come around
You gotta show me how
It takes two to make the new baby now
I’m workin’ on the new baby now
I’m workin’ on the new baby now
You better come around
You gotta show me how
It takes two to make the new baby now
She was drivin’ around the parking lot
Thinkin’ her crazy thoughts
When the voices in her ear
Said you need to make me a son
She went out to find a man
But she couldn’t find a man
Not a single man
What’s the next best thing?
Hey
I’m workin’ on the new baby now
I’m workin’ on the new baby now
You better come around
You gotta show me how
It takes two to make the new baby now
Someone to make me a mom
She said I can’t wait any longer
I’m not getting’ any younger
I’m goin’ out to find a man
Someone to make me a mom
He said I’m not sure you are ready
The timing’s a little bit rushed
It’s not self-righteous
Changin’ the diapers
Hey
I’m workin’ on the new baby now
I’m workin’ on the new baby now
You better come around
You gotta show me how
It takes two to make the new baby now
You better come around
You gotta show me how
It takes two to make the new baby now
It takes two to make the new baby now
It takes two to make the new baby now ow ow ow ow

From My Imagination
I listen for your sweet voice
I block out your bright laugh
I listen for you to walk to me
When you come into view
I wait for you to come near
I wait for you to run away
I wait for you to get real with me
And tell me what I want to hear
Someday I hope to wake up
And you’ll be more than a dream
And when I turn my head
To talk to you
You will be right next to me
That day might be a long way
I can’t wait that long
I look deep inside
And try not to hide
From my imagination From my imagination
A little bit of me lives
A little bit of me dies
A little it of me talks to you
When you come to visit
I wait for you to say yes
When I tell you the truth
When I make you aware
Of how I feel about you
I wait for you to come back
I wait for you to disappear
I wait for you to move on in life
And leave me in the dust
Someday I hope to wake up
And you’ll be more than a dream
And when I turn my head
To talk to you
You will be reality
But that day might be a long way
And I can’t wait that long
So I look deep inside
And try not to hide
From my imagination, From my imagination

Sad and Blue
Sometimes you make me
Sad and blue
But I’m never giving
Up on you babe
I’m never giving
Up on you
I never know what you’re
Going to do
You do what you want
To do baby
You do what you want
To do
If there’s something
Wrong with you
I don’t know what I can
Do about it
I don’t know what
I can do
Sometimes you fall down
And need some help
I’ll try to pick you up
And right you
I’ll try to pick you up
And help
Sometimes you make me
Very angry
I don’t want to be
Mad at you babe
Don’t want to be
Mad at you
Sometimes you misplace
Your energy
Addiction is an issue
For you babe
Addiction is an issue
For you
But I know you can
Change the venue
Your balls are gonna’
Pull you through babe
Your balls are gonna’
Pull you through
Sometimes you make me
Sad and blue
But I’m never giving
Up on you babe
I’m never giving
Up on you
I’m never giving
Up on you babe
I’m never giving
Up on you

You Don’t Love Me Anymore
You don’t love me anymore
You don’t love me anymore
You’re just getting bored
You don’t love me anymore
I was fine for a while
Now I’m going out of style
You don’t love me anymore
No not at all
Maybe you’ll love me once again
Maybe you’ll love me once again
You will be my friend
Maybe you’ll love me once again
Yea we’ll go the extra mile
And we’ll come back into style
Maybe you’ll love me once again
Maybe so
Will you please relax and just be still
You never call when you say you will
I don’t know why I even try
You are a project and a half
Why do you always have to go
Some other place from where you are now
Why do you always have to be
Somewhere far away from me
I’ll love you for the rest of my life
I’ll love you for the rest of my life
I’ll try to do it right
I’ll love you for the rest of my life
Yea we’ll go the extra mile
And we’ll come back into style
I’ll love you for the rest of my life
I really will
You don’t love me anymore
You don’t love me anymore
You’re just getting bored
You don’t love me anymore
I was fine for a while
Now I’m going out of style
You don’t love me anymore
No not at all No not at all

I got 10 fingers and I got 10 toes
Is there anything else I can do for you?
The way you treat me baby is a bit unkind
Is there anything else I can do for you?
Save me, save me
Save my baby
I love your body and I love your mind
Is there anything else I can do for you?
The way you treat me baby is a bit unkind
Is there anything else I can do for you?
Save me, save me
Save my baby
We’ve been together for a really long time
Is there anything else I can do for you?
The way you treat me baby is a bit unkind
Is there anything else I can do for you?
Save me, save me
Save my baby
She broke her water on national TV
Then she signed off to have her baby

Penance
I’m minding my own business
Trying to stay in my box
But I want to get out of it
I want to get out of it
I’m thinking of the future
Trying to put off the thought
‘Cause the thought is too frightening
The thought is too fright ening
I should be doing penance
For all my bad thoughts
‘Cause I got a lot of them
I got a lot of them
How can you be so strong?
I am such a weak person
How can you be so bright?
I am such a sorry sight
I’m getting some resistance
From my conscience at night
I’m hiding in the shadows
Trying to blink at the light
In the end I have a question
Are my thoughts all that bad?
Or do I do too much think ing?
I do too much think ing
I should be doing penance
For all my bad thoughts
‘Cause I got a lot of them
I got a lot of them
I got a lot of them
I got a lot of them
