Face Up And Sing (Girls Make Music)
Goddess on a mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name.
Years go by
Will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by
I'm stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by
Will I choke on my tears
Till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty, you know,
It's too easy, easy, easy
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world.
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
'Cause girls, they want to have fun
That's all they really want.
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town
I'm counting on you Lord, please don't let me down
Prove that you love me, and buy the next round
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town
Everybody!
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother.
'Cause the love that you gave
that we made wasn't able
to make it enough for you
to be open wide.
No.
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
you'd hold me until you die,
till you die,
But you're still alive.
I want to talk to you, I want to shampoo you
I want to renew you again and again
Applause, applause -- life is our cause
when I think of your kisses
my mind seesaws
Do you see - do you see - do you see
how you hurt me baby
so I hurt you too
then we both get so blue

So I've still got a few months to go.
