Although my pay looks pretty good

From where I now am sitting,

If I should win the lottery,

I'm definitely quitting!

"Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Come on, baby,

Light my fire".

Tear Your Love Away

If you really love somebody,

Then let that person go.

If the one you love comes back,

She's really yours, you know.

Well, someone must be crazy,

'Cause I know it's not that way.

If you really wanna leave me,

Oh, I'll cling all night and day.

 

Tear your love away.

Tear your love away.

Oh, I just can't set you free

'Cause you mean too much to me.

Tear your love away.

Tear your love away.

If you really wanna leave me,

Well, then, tear your love away.

 

If you really love somebody,

Then don't hold on too long;

But I really, really need you,

Oh, my love is just too strong.

And how can I give you freedom

When it means the death of me?

Oh, you know I wanna keep you,

I just can't set you free.

 

Tear your love away.

Tear your love away.

Oh, I just can't set you free

'Cause you mean too much to me.

Tear your love away.

Tear your love away.

If you really wanna leave me,

Well, then, tear your love away.

 

In love, there must be freedom -

Well, you're free to break my heart.

At least, that's how it should be,

But giving freedom is an art.

And I just can't give you freedom,

I really don't know how.

'Cause I love, oh, how I love you,

Oh, please don't leave me now.

 

Tear your love away.

Tear your love away.

Oh, I just can't set you free

'Cause you mean too much to me.

Tear your love away.

Tear your love away.

If you really wanna leave me,

Well, then, tear your love away.

 

Ooh, tear your love away

  Ooh, tear your love away

    Ooh, tear your love away

At Least I've Been In Love

I've walked a weary mile

With someone by my side.

I've taken empty journies,

A long and lonely ride.

I've seen the moon above me,

I've shared a lovers' view.

I've walked alone through flowers

And this one thing is true:

 

At least I've been in love,

I've seen the stars above.

Oh, I can say at least I've been in love.

At least I've been in love,

I've shared the stars above.

Oh, I can say at least I've been in love.

 

I've had my share of rainbows,

Sometimes I've shared the rain.

At times, I've held somebody;

In love, known loss and gain.

I've seen the clouds above me,

I've shared a ray of sun.

Sometimes, when love ended,

I thought it had begun.

 

At least I've been in love,

I've seen the stars above.

Oh, I can say at least I've been in love.

At least I've been in love,

I've shared the stars above.

Oh, I can say at least I've been in love.

 

I've been in love,

I've shared my caring.

I'm needing love,

The stars need sharing.

I might find someone;

I don't know if I can.

But one thought warms me

Now I'm lonely again:

 

At least I've been in love,

I've seen the stars above.

Oh, I can say at least I've been in love.

At least I've been in love,

I've shared the stars above.

Oh, I can say at least I've been in love.

 

I've been in love.

Oh, yes, I've been in love.

I've been in love.

At least I've been in love.
