Cheer Up 2002

1. Good Thing

I never felt too good but in this world who would
I was always thinkin- somethin- wasn't right
But then you came along and helped me sing a song and
now I feel ok I hope it can stay- this way

You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
Are these the good days that I've heard so much about-
there goes the heartbreak that I can live without
I've been so frustrated, bitter, mean, and jaded
I've taken for granted all the things I've got
But now that you are here this anger disappears
and I feel happy too this is sappy but it's true

You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
Are these the good days that I've heard so much about there goes the heartbreak
that I can live without


2. Somebody Loved Me

All of my friends- they-re not my friends
A knife in the back, felt it again. What did I do? Was it so wrong?
I used to fit in, now I don-t belong

I think somebody loved me once, I think somebody loved me once
I think somebody loved me once but I cannot remember why

My confidence is stuck in my throat when you lay blame I-m your scapegoat
Ears burnin- red, I heard what you said- you smile at my face but you wish I was dead

I think somebody loved me once, I think somebody loved me once
I think somebody loved me once but I cannot remember why


3. Ban The Tube Top

You-re 17, evil and mean, comfy and cozy nowhere scene
You can-t deny the loser inside all of your bad taste won-t subside

You-re outta sight keep me up at night you dress funny strapless and skin tight
You-re outta sight you keep me up at night you make me crazy you wear it out of spite
Ban the tube top tonight
You-re magical mystery girl tick tock you don-t stop rockin- my world
You give high fives to all the guys you let me know that I'm alive

You-re outta sight keep me up at night you dress funny strapless and skin tight
You-re outta sight you keep me up at night you make me crazy you wear it out of spite
Ban the tube top tonight
There's a party that were all invited to but I don't care because I hate everyone in school
I ignore all the girls but you
Beautiful girl, ugly shirt you are a fashion red alert
But I can-t resist, you've never been kissed and I've never been in love like this

You-re outta sight keep me up at night you dress funny strapless and skin tight
You-re outta sight you keep me up at night you make me crazy you wear it out of spite
Ban the tube top tonight


4. Cheer Up

You say you're down you can-t lose that frown
Life sucks. What else is new? That-s tough.
There's not much you can do- you're not the only one not havin- any fun

I've got a funny feelin- we-re all born to lose
And I've got a funny feelin- that this life ain-t worth livin- through
I've been depressed and I get so stressed
Life sucks. I don't wonder why. That's tough.
I just keep on tryin-, so I won-t be the one not havin- any fun

I've got a funny feelin- we-re all born to lose
And I've got a funny feelin- that this life ain-t worth livin- through
I'm not givin- up yet that's not the end of me
But it's not gonna be all right you'll see, you-ll see!
I've got a funny feelin- we-re all born to lose
And I've got a funny feelin- that this life ain-t worth livin- through

Cheer Up!


5. Where Have You Been?

You called me up last night in tears and said you missed me after all these years
Well I-ve been waiting here so long, I-ve gotten over it since you've been gone
You called me late last night again and said you're finished with your new boyfriend
Asked if you could come back home- so sorry that you left me all alone

You say you love me, you love me again but if you love me- where have you been?
You say you need me more than anyone else well go to hell, where have you been?
You showed up at my door today and said my friend why do you push me away
Your life with him was just so dull but what we had was something wonderful well

You say you love me, you love me again but if you love me- where have you been?
You say you need me more than anyone else well go to hell- where have you been?
No way! You wish! I don't need this! What makes you think I-d ever want you again?
Yeah right! As if! I don't need this What makes you think I'd ever want you again?


6. Suckers

Hey everybody I-ve got somethin- to tell it's what I learned from relationship hell
Lust turns to disgust a heart of gold into rust a soft touch to a slap in the
face- it gets old it goes away

This one's for all the suckers who still believe in love, this one's for you.
This one-s for all the suckers who still believe in love, this one-s for you.
It never works but we keep tryin' like fools learning and breaking the rules
At first you're excited then you're less than delighted by the end you wish
they would drop dead it can't last, it's gone so fast

This one's for all the suckers who still believe in love, this one's for you
This one-s for all the suckers who still believe in love, this one-s for you


7. What Are Friends For

Guess what?
They found out about me, You can-t count on me- I hate to be wrong
Guess what?
All those things I said- it wasn-t what I meant, I hate to lead you on

I-ve got a lot of bad things I wish that I had never done -cause they-re coming back, coming
back to me now
And I-ve got a lot of bad things I wish that I had never done -cause they-re coming back,
coming back to me now
Oh yeah- you-re not my friend, you don-t know me and I, I don-t care about you
I lied,
and that-s the awful truth. Guess it was no use- I hate to be wrong
I lied,
the things inside your head, wishin I was dead- -cause I did you wrong

I-ve got a lot of bad things I wish that I had never done -cause they-re coming back, coming
back to me now
And don-t think I-ll feel guilty or that I-ll apologize -cause I got my way, and that means I
was right
Oh yeah- I-m not your friend, you don-t know me, and I, I don-t care about-.you.
Repeat
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I-ve got a lot of bad things I guess that I should never have done -cause they-re coming back,
coming back to me now
And don-t think I-ll feel guilty or that I-ll apologize -cause I got my way and that means I
was right
Oh yeah, I-m not your friend, you don-t know me and I, I don-t, I don-t care about you.


8. A Little Doubt Goes A Long Way

I gotta go gotta go gotta go before I do something stupid I gotta go
Gotta go gotta go gotta go before I do something lame
I know it's your fault that I-m in the mess I-m in
And you think I-m cool but I don-t man
Maybe its too soon but I think it's too late
And things like bad timing just won-t wait
Maybe it's not right (I have a girlfriend) made a friend tonight (who is a girl and)
I just wanted to talk you but then I started wondering if she's the one, or not

So I gotta go, gotta go, gotta go before I do something stupid
I gotta go, gotta go, gotta go before I do something lame
I know that flirting is nothing and it should be where it ends
But I know yes I know that I want you for more than a friend
Maybe it's not right (I have a girlfriend) made a friend tonight (who is a
girl and) I just wanted to talk you but then I started wondering if she's the one

So I gotta go, gotta go, gotta go before I do something stupid but I know,
I know it's too late


9. Dateless Loser

We are all on our own with no one by our side
You are so lucky, beautiful and bright
All the cool kids go steady they're making out at 12-
we sit in our rooms alone
by ourselves it's Friday- no phone call, nobody asked us out

We are the dateless losers- lonely until we die!
So unappreciated, why, why, why, why?

We-re not so bad you know, but you won-t give us a chance
Take us to the movies, to dinner, or to dance
Not perfect, not too hip- but we need lovin- too

We are the dateless losers- lonely until we die!
So unappreciated why, why, why, why?


10. Valerie

Back when I met you I didn-t have a clue of the horrible agony you would put me
through
but now that we-ve done some time and I know who you are
You-re so full of shit how did it get so far?
well you ruined my life, you were never my friend
Alnd now all I can hope is that I-ll never see you again

Valerie- you make me wish I was dead
Valerie- you-re like a knife in my head
I-ll never ever be the same my life is ruined, you-re too blame
Every moment of the year we spent you pushed me further and further over the edge
Maybe you didn-t mean it ,maybe you-re sorry as well but I know that you are evil, you came
straight out of hell
Well you wasted my time, all of my money too
I never really hated until I met you

Valerie- you make me wish I was dead
Valerie- you-re like a knife in my head
I-ll never ever be the same my life is ruined, you-re to blame
Well you ruined my life, you were never my friend and now all I can hope is that I-ll never see
you again

Valerie- you make me wish I was dead
Valerie- you-re like a knife in my head
I-ll never ever be the same my life is ruined, you-re to blame

12. New York, New York

Start spreadin- the news, I-m leavin- today
I want to be a part of it, New York, New York
These vagabond shoes are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it, New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city that doesn-t sleep
And find I-m king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues are melting away
I-ll make a brand new start of it in old New York
If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere
It-s up to you New York, New York
New York, New York I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps
And find I-m A- number one, top of the list, king of the hill, A- number one
These little town blues, are melting away
I-m gonna make a brand new start of it in old New York
And if I can make it there, I-m gonna make it anywhere
It-s up to you New York, New York.. New York!


13. Boss DJ

There-s a steel train coming through, I would take it if I could
And I would not lie to you, cause Sunday morning soon will come when
Things will be much easier to say, upon the microphone like a Boss DJ
But I-m wont walk upon the sea like it was dry land
The Boss DJ ain-t nothing but a man
No trouble, No fuss- I know why
It-s so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
It-s so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
Rumors are spreadin- all over my town but it-s like stones and sticks
cuz on the microphone is where I get my fix
just let the lovin- take ahold cuz it will if you let it
I-m funky not a junkie but I know where to get it
No trouble, no fuss- I know why
It-s so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
It-s so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
Oowee girl oowee girl oowee girl
There really ain-t no time to waste, really ain-t no time to hate
Ain-t got no time to waste, time to hate
Really ain-t no time to let the time go waste
So mister DJ don-t stop the music, I wanna know
Are you feelin the same way too?
I wanna rock it with you girl ooh girl
Don-t stop cuz
It-s so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
It-s so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
Nowadays the songs on the radio all drive me crazy


14. Brand New Hero

I've got big dreams but no self-esteem, you know?
I'd reach for the stars but I can't find my arms
All this time we've accomplished so much
Why can't I believe why can't I just feel love?

Goin' away leavin- today you've gotta find a brand new hero
I let you down when you're not around you know I can't be trusted with anything
All this time we've wanted so much to just belong why can't we just feel love?
Goin- away leavin today you've gotta find a brand new hero
What will they say when I've gone away? Gotta find a brand new hero


15. Drunk Again

If I had a dollar bill for every time I-ve been wrong
I-d be a self-made millionaire and you-d still be gone
So hand me down my best dress shoes and my best dress shirt
Cause I-m going out in style to cover the hurt
And all I wanna do all day is spend it in bed
But that-s bad for the body and even worse for my head
So I-ll try and find a place where no one will ask me a thing
It-ll help to forget and help me to sing

Cause now I-m drunk again
The means to my end
And I-m scared of myself
Cause now it-s the same the faces and names
And I-m scared of myself again

Have you ever wanted to wake up from your dreaming
Scared you so bad you couldn-t control your heart or your breathing
Well walk out the door with me on the floor
You don-t care how I-m feeling
I guess a weak and tired and frightened man is no longer appealing

Some people have a gift of reaching right into your soul
and finding the whole and making it
bigger
Baby sometimes I think I catch ya crackin- cynical smiles
and in a short while you-ll be my
heart-s grave digger
Well there-s not much I can do
Cause I-m at the mercy of you
So baby I guess we-re through

Cause now I-m drunk again
The means to my end
And I-m scared of myself
Cause now it-s the same the faces and names
And I-m scared of myself again
Cause now it-s all the same the faces and the names
So go walk out the door you don-t believe me no more
And I-m scared of myself again

If I had a dollar bill for every time I been wrong
I-d be a self made millionaire and I wouldn-t be singing
