Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade
She worked the night shift
Dishwater blonde, tall and fine
She got a lot of tips

Well, earlier I'd been talkin' stuff in a violent room
Fightin' with lover's past
I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
Dorothy was fast

Well, I ordered - "Yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain't 2 hungry"
Dorothy laughed
She said - "It sound like a real man 2 me (U're kinda cute)
U're kinda cute, U wanna take a bath?" (Do U wanna, do U wanna?) ... Bath?

Oh, I said - "Cool, but I'm leavin' my pants on (What U say?)
Cuz I'm kinda goin' with someone"
She said - "Sound like a real man 2 me
Mind if I turn on the radio?"

"Oh, my favorite song," she said
And it was Joni singing, "Help me, I think I'm falling"
(Drring) The phone rang and she said
"Whoever's calling can't be as cute as U"
Right then and there I knew I was through (Dorothy Parker was cool)

Well

My pants were wet, they came off
But she didn't see the movie cuz she hadn't read the book first

Instead she pretended she was blind
An affliction brought on by a witch's curse
Dorothy made me laugh (ha ha, ha ha)
I felt much better so I went back 2 the violent room
(Tell us what U did, what U did) Let me tell U what I did

I took another bubble bath with my pants on
All the fighting stopped
Next time I'll do it sooner
This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker
(Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker)
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker

Well
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker
Well
Oh

I'm back to feeling this one.

Come on, baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never like to see you cry
Won't you please forgive me ?

I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes

So many nights I longed to hold you
So many times I looked and saw your face
Nothing could change the way I feel
No-one else could ever take your place

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes

I am just a man

Please forgive me

The tears I cry aren't tears of pain
They're only to hide my guilt and shame
I forgive you now I ask the same of you
While we were apart I was human too

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
I am just a man
Human
Born to make mistakes

As


As around the sun the Earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always

As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
Do you know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Always)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (I said it's gonna be always)
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4 (You know it's gonna be always)
Until the day that is the day that are no more

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

As today I know I'm living but tomorrow (Yeah)
Could make me the past but that I mustn't fear ('cause you're here)
Now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
And I'll be loving you always

Slippery Slope [Easier]
I've been on this road alone so long
Traveling down this slippery slope alone
No one's ever right where you are
Looking back into your heart

I can trace the lines I cross
Back to that initial loss
And nothing's ever been the same
I have never loved again

It's easier, it's easier now
It's easier, should be easier now - !!!!!

And look at me, fully grown
Look at me, still alone

I been on this road alone so long
Traveling down this slippery slope alone
No one's ever right where you are
Looking back into your heart

That reminds me a bit of these lyrics:

Yes my beat goes on
And it bounces with electric rhythm
Yes my loves goes on
intermingling with your magnetism

I'm not afraid to be
whatever you might need
I want you to succeed
I'll be standing here beside you

Till the birds no longer fly
till the ocean beds run dry
till your shadows disappear
Till the sun begins to frost
till the need for love is lost
till your shadows disappear
till your shadows disappear

Yes my light stays on
waiting patiently for your attention
Yes my waters run
even moon rays yearn for your affection

I'm not afraid to be
whatever you might need
I want you to succeed
I'll be standing here beside you

Till the sea refuses the rain
till the angels complain
till your shadows disappear
Till the sun surenders to frost
till the need for love is lost
till your shadows disappear
till your shadows disappear

Yes my love is strong
I will roll it for you
if you don't smoke it !

Till the birds no longer fly
till the ocean beds run dry
till your shadows disappear
till the sun surrenders to frost
till the need for love is lost
till your shadows disappear
till your shadows disappear.

^^^ who is that one by, Martina?
