I don't need love anymore
I don't need love anymore
I don't need anyone to tell me that I do
I don't need love and I don't need you

I try and I try to make it work
I try and I try to make it work
I try and I try again, I won't forget, I know
Love gets you nowhere slow

I want no more heartaches
No more goodbyes
Ain't no more real good love
Only new love
But old love dies

Ain't worth the time that it takes
Ain't worth the time that it takes
Ain't worth the endless hours of changes I go through
I don't need love and I don't need you

I don't need love anymore
I don't need love anymore
I don't need anyone to tell me that I do
I don't need love and I don't need you

You say you want to try again
Wear it down between the lines
Well I have a better end in mind
It doesn't seem you really have to close your eyes to see
Though I know you don't mean to be
You are so far from me

There was something I had caught inside
Screaming hard to make it known
In time it died alone
It doesn't seem you really have to close your eyes to see
You have been all you'll be to me
It's just too late; and we can't relate at all

It doesn't seem you really have to close your eyes to see
Though I know you don't mean to be
You are so far from me

This time's the last time I want to say so long
This song's my last song for you
There's nothing here to hold on to
Nothing to hold on to

Little girl lost in a forest of dreams
It's a dark old wood, and it's damp with dew
Hoot owl hoots, for a moment it seems
Something big and cold got a hold of you
Just when everything gets scary
Daddy's coming round for his darling again
Hold my hand with your little fingers
Daddy's loving arms gonna gather you in

Ain't no way the Bogeyman can get you
You can close your eyes, the world is gonna let you
Your daddy's here and never will forget you
I will take you home
I will take you home
Gonna carry you back home in my arms
I will take you home

Long is the road we must travel on down
Short are the legs that will struggle behind
I wish I knew for sure just where we're bound
What we will be doing, and what we're gonna find
Wherever we go, there will be birds to cheer you
Flowers to color in the fields around
Wherever we go, I'll be right here near you
You can't get lost when you're always found

Ain't no fog that's thick enough to hide you
Your daddy's gonna be right here beside you
If your fears should start to get inside you
I will take you home
I will take you home
Gonna carry you back home in my arms
I will take you home

Have you ever wanted something
Wanted it so burning bad
That you'd lie, that you'd cheat
That you'd fight in the street
And chance to lose what little you had

Maybe you know how I'm feeling
Maybe you know how I feel
Maybe you know how I'm feeling
But maybe to you, it don't seem so real

Time is only wasted
On talking that is taking life
When it all comes down
You're really covering ground
I know I'll get more done tonight

I've been hearing for a long time
I still hear about some long-term plan
Well I ain't gettin' younger
Tired of wandering
I was promised a rock but I only see sand

Now you don't owe me nothing
So don't take it so personally
There's only one way
To make it today
And I'm doing all I can for me

Gonna see some good times
Gonna get to ring that bell
Gonna see some good times
Some times to make up for when I'm not feeling well
I must be due some great times
'Cause right now I feel like hell

Never trust a woman who wears her pants too tight
Never trust a woman who wears her pants too tight
She might love you tomorrow
But she'll be gone tomorrow night

Come tomorrow I get my pay and I'm gonna leave this town
Come tomorrow I get my pay and I'm gonna leave this [goddamn/motherfucking] town
'Cause she don't really love me
There ain't no reason to stick around

Gonna see some good times
Gonna get to ring that bell
Gonna see some good times
Some times to make up for when I'm not feeling well
Must be due some great times
'Cause right now I feel like hell

[ad lib]
But if they don't come
Well if they never come around
If they don't come to me
If they don't come to me tonight
If they don't come to me next week
If they don't come to me next year
What the hell

Only a fool could tell his friends
Of a war that just won't end
Only a fool would go so far
As you you have gone, my man

How my friends spoke so good of you
Makes me burn inside
Think of all you did to him
I don't care how far or fast you ride

I'm gonna break you down
That's all I'm gonna do
You're gonna wish the ground
Was six feet over you

To think you're wise, only goes to show
How wrong someone can be
Hey, king of lies, you ain't no mask
For the hell I got in me

I'm gonna break you down
That's what I'm gonna do
You're gonna wish the ground
Was six feet over you

I know these rails we're on like I know my lady's smile
Re-see a dozen dreams in every passing mile
Can't begin to count the trips
That she and I have made
But I wish I had a dollar
For each time we both been down this grade

Nine hundred thousand tons of steel
Made to roll
Her brakes don't work and this grade's so steep
Her engine's sure to blow
Nine hundred thousand tons of steel
Out of control
She's more a roller-coaster than the train I used to know

It's one hell of an understatement to say she can get mean
She's temperamental, more a bitch than a machine
She wasn't built to travel at
The speed a rumour flies
These wheels are bound to jump the tracks
Before they burn the ties

Murphy's sure outdone himself to pick this stretch of track
I can only hope my luck is riding in the back
Well I have prayed to God
This ain't the day we meet
I've done about everything
But try dragging my feet

Oo, oo, I wanna go down slow
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo
Nine hundred thousand tons of steel
Out of control
She's more a roller coaster than the train I used to know
