Wouldn't it be great if only it could be as simple as I like them they like me? No more complications or aggravations just straightforward you like me and I like you It would be great but it never is that way Wouldn't it be fabulous if life was more straightforward than this? Wouldn't it be just spot on if it was that easy? Just walking in the supermarket and pick up the one you want to meet If only it was as straightforward as running a bath Oh if only it was a walk in the park Oh If only I was lucky If only I was lucky in love If only I was lucky If only I was lucky in love If only I was lucky If only I was lucky in love If only I was lucky If only I was lucky in love Wouldn't it be more nice if they liked me and I liked them? And not in a psycho way more in a nice gentle way Wouldn't it be nice if there was no more mind games? Wouldn't be nice if everybody just got on? Wouldn't be great if we could all be friends? Even those of us that have a hard time together Oh if only I could be lucky If only I could be lucky in love If only I was lucky If only I was lucky in love If only I was lucky If only I was lucky in love Why doesn't nobody like me? I'm always standing on my own And I say, it's not that it bothers me I quite like my own company It's just, you know, this girl has needs If only I was lucky

There is no forgiveness left That well has ran dry There is no turning back You made your decision when you commited that act of cruelty And if she is behind you well then she deserves you You are both equally cruel And I have come to the conclusion I do not want you I do not want you She can have you, she deserves you She can have you, she's as bad as you She can have you, she deserves you She can have you, she's as bad as you You should have an equal that's for sure You should have an equal for sure And I'm not, I'm not like that I'm not, I'm not like you Secretly I'm kind, I don't like to admit to that Too many people take advantage of that I can't imagine anyone taking advantage of you I don't believe it's even possible She can keep you because that's not the kind of life I want for me Oh she is very welcome to you Oh you should have an equal Oh matching is important And yeah cruelty deserves more cruelty The innocent should keep out of this And she's welcome to you Oh she's welcome Oh She can keep you Oh She can keep you Oh she's welcome to you She's suitably matched Yeah Yeah, She is welcome to you If she is okay with behaviour like that She's as bad as you are She's as bad as you are She's as bad as you are Stay where you are! Oh I don't want you Stay where you are! I don't want you
7.
I couldn't have imagined that you would turn out to be the loser you turned out to be I couldn't have imagined that you'd be so shallow I thought you were deep Saw an old friend, I was talking to her and you'll see, she's got a date with you I believe you called her Her name is Karma she believes what goes around comes around Her name is Karma, I believe in her Her name is Karma she's got a date with you, she's looking forward to it too Yeah her name is Karma Oh I believe you called my friend up again Well you should know she is on the case What goes round comes round my friend You don't need to retaliate in this world, it takes care of its self Well my very good friend called Karma has got a date with you Oh my very good friend called Karma is working her way to you Oh my very good friend called Karma knows all about you My very good friend called Karma is coming round to see you Yeah my very good friend called Karma knows all about you She's the one I believe in, I don't believe in anything else Oh she's the one I believe in Her and music are what keeps me strong Yeah my very good friend called Karma has got a date with you Oh my very good friend called Karma is on her way round to yours Yeah my very good friend called Karma is gonna take good care of you Well my very good friend called Karma knows all about you Cos I believe in her I don't need do nothing, I believe in her Oh my very good friend called Karma has got your phone number babe and she will call you oneday Oh my very good friend called Karma knows where you stay Knows where you stay
8.
It's been a long long time I've always been pleased to see you when you did arrive But I've not always opened the door Infact, never once I've always left you standing cos you never get it right You never get it right Baby, it's not that much to ask considering what I've gaven up Considering what I gave It's not that much to ask Cos didn't I show you everything you desired and so much more? And no other has ever done that, no other can No there ain't a single soul that can do that And I can do so much more, you'll probably never know Didn't I show you what you lacked? Didn't I show how to love? Didn't I show you everything you wanted? Didn't I show you how to be you? Didn't I show you how to feel what you wanted to feel? Didn't I give you what you lacked? Gave you what you lacked Gave you what you lacked Baby, oh you can do it your way but in the end you'll come back And stand there again, we both know that And one day if you manage to impress me then maybe I might just open that door One day I might just open that door One day I might just teach you more

In my heart 03:28
If you don't know me by now I guess you don't deserve me Was the ocean I cried for you not deep enough to satisfy? Was my sacrifices never enough despite the fact I tore my entire life apart in your name? And in your name I walked showered by cruelty never raising my hand back for I never wished to harm you I couldn't if I wanted to I only walk with love in my heart There's only love, there's only love in my heart There's only love, there's only love in my heart There's only love, there's only love in my heart Truely sorry that I dared to believe you could love me back Sorry is all I can say If it means I'm not an equal than so be it for I refuse to become what I am not There's only love, there's only love in my heart There's only love, there's only love in my heart There's only love , there's only love in my heart There's only love, there's only love in this heart There's only love, there's only love in this heart There's only love, there's only love in my heart There's only love, there's only love in my heart There's only love, there's only love in my heart
