1 : ain't no sunshine
listen

ain't no sunshine when she's gone
it's not warm when she's away
ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and she's always gone too long
anytime she goes away
wonder this time where she's gone
wonder if she's going to stay
ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away
well i know i know i know i know i know i know i know i know i know
i know i know i know i know i know i know i know i know i know
i know i know i know i know i know i know i know i know
hey i outta leave the young thang alone
but there ain't no sunshine when she's gone
ain't no sunshine when she's gone
only darkness every day
ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away
anytime she goes away
anytime she goes away
anytime she goes away

II : 50 ways to leave your lover
listen

the problem is all inside your head she said to me
the answer is easy if you take it logically
i'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
there must be fifty ways to leave your lover

she said it's really not my habit to intrude
furthermore, i hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
but i'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
there must be fifty ways to leave your lover
fifty ways to leave your lover

you just slip out the back, jack
make a new plan, stan
you don't need to be coy, roy
just get yourself free
hop on the bus, gus
you don't need to discuss much
just drop off the key, lee
and get yourself free

she said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
i wish there was something i could do to make you smile again
i said i appreciate that and would you please explain
about the fifty ways

she said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
and i believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
and then she kissed me and i realized she probably was right
there must be fifty ways to leave your lover
fifty ways to leave your lover

you just slip out the back, jack
make a new plan, stan
you don't need to be coy, roy
just get yourself free
hop on the bus, gus
you don't need to discuss much
just drop off the key, lee
and get yourself free

iii : true love waits
listen

i'll drown my beliefs
to have you be in peace
i'll dress like your niece
and wash your swollen feet

just don't leave
don't leave

i'm not living
i'm just killing time
your tiny hands
your crazy kitten smile

just don't leave
don't leave

and true love waits
in haunted attics
and true love lives
on lollipops and crisps

just don't leave
don't leave

four : i believe
listen

shattered dreams, worthless years
here am i encased inside a hollow shell
life began, then was done
now i stare into a cold and empty well

the many sounds that meet our ears, the sights our eyes behold
will open up our merging hearts
and feed our empty souls

i believe when i fall in love with you it will be forever
i believe when i fall in love this time it will be forever

without despair we will share
and the joys of caring will not be replaced
what has been must never end
and with the strength we have won't be erased
when the truths of love are planted firm
they won't be hard to find
and the words of love i speak to you will echo in my mind

i believe when i fall in love with you it will be forever
i believe when i fall in love this time it will be forever

come on, let's fall in love
you're the woman i've been waiting for
come on, let's fall in love
you're the girl that i really adore
come on, let's fall in love
don't you wanna fall in love?
don't you wanna fall in love with me?
