Trouble

I knew it from the start-
that I'd fall victim to my stupid heart
They told me you were bad news
yeah, they told me to be smart.
But I just can't help myself
I just don't have the will
Trouble's always been the way
I've satisfied my thrills
You were just too smooth
You knew exactly what to say
I could tell you get around
But I stayed anyway
But I just can't help myself
I just don't have the will
Trouble's always been the way
I've satisfied my thrills
You're the burner on the stove
I'm not allowed to touch
The caution tape around your waist
is just not doing much
My curiosity is killing me, I've gotta know
Heaven knows temptation's always been
my biggest foe
I could read the signs
You know it didn't take too long for me to
realize all they said was true
And I was in the wrong
But I just can't help myself
I just don't have the will
Trouble's always been the way
I've satisfied my thrills
You're the burner on the stove
I'm not allowed to touch
The caution tape around your waist
is just not doing much
My curiosity is killing me, I've gotta know
Heaven knows temptation's always been
my biggest foe
This is how it ends
You know it happens every time
I get burned - a lesson learned
But you were such a dime
I could sit here all night long,
and wallow by myself
Or I could get up, go to town
While I watch you go to hell
Ooo hoo (x3)
Go to hell (x3)

Wouldn't It Be Nice
04:43

Oh, I try not to think about it
Oh, I wish I could forget about it
I preoccupy myself so I forget about you
Oh, I'll read a couple pages
I might sing a couple songs
But then I come across your name
And ABBA's what we danced to all night long
I find myself thinking
(Chorus)
Wouldn't it be nice
if I could get you off my mind
Wouldn't it be nice
if you would stop being so damn fine
If only my love were a lightbulb
You'd flip the switch and turn it off
That would be too nice,
And nice things never happen to me
Oh, I could throw away your picture
I could burn all of your clothes
Delete your number from my phone,
but that's not gonna do it - heaven only knows
Oh, I could find another lover
I could find somebody new
But you're the only one for me
It seems that I am not the only one for you
I find myself thinking
(Chorus)
FLUGELHORN SOLO WOOT WOOT
(Chorus)

Nothing I Can Say
02:14

Nothing I can say
No words that I could string together
My heart is heavy like a brick
And your soul is lighter than a feather
So I'll stay here on the ground
While I watch you float away
No words that I could string together;
there's nothing I can say
No words I could string together;
there's nothing I can say

The Charles River Song
05:14

All of my friends will be gone someday
They'll go off to better places
I think I'm stuck here
I'm going to stay
and stick with familiar faces
They say you'll know when you've found a home
But that's when they think that you're leaving
I tell them i've found it - been here all along
And they refuse to believe me
(Chorus)
Maybe in some other lifetime
I was a vagabond girl
And I traveled the country,
and seen all the world,
but I got tired of always leaving
It's like there's an anchor inside me
Something keeps pulling me back
And I'll row my canoe down the river
But the river will take me right back
V2:
Maybe it's not metaphysical
But that's what I choose to believe
My soul's in the harbor
My heart's in the sea
Or maybe I'm just scared to leave
(Chorus)
But the river will take me right back (3x)
