Stay In Love
Copyright Bod and Alpert 1979
I don’t have much money
I just get paid the going rate
I’m working
for us, honey
A life together is our fate
I hate this struggle more and more
Who do you think I’m living for
Stay in love – for
my sake stay in love
All your friends are shaken
‘Cause you’re hooked up with a guy like me
My heart’s been awakened
I see their
point and I half agree
It’s the oldest story in the world
How the no-good guy gets the so-good girl
Lord above, help her stay
in love
I think it’s tragic
Gee you’re so romantic
I don’t know what to do
Let’s stop all of our fussing and fighting
I don’t have an answer
For why things work out the way that they do
But every day’s
a chance to
Think about it and be with you
I hate this struggle more and more
Who do you think I’m living for
Stay in love – for
my sake stay in love
Lord above, help her stay in love
You Can’t Make Someone Love You
Copyright M. Bod 2016
You sipped your bourbon last night
And even in the dim light of the
bar
It was clear that you were crying
You tried to hold back your tears
As you whispered in my ear
That you swore your love for her is
undying
Even though – we both know
That it’s best that you let go
‘Cause she did long ago
Sometimes when love is so strong
You
can’t imagine that anything could ever
Possibly go wrong
But if love’s over and done
How long will you let it take to admit
That she
isn’t the one
So if she holds a piece of your heart
Leave her that part
Your new start is long overdue
And if you can’t just be
her friend – I recommend
That you move on and find someone new
Because you can’t make someone love you
I shook my head when you
said
You cry all night in your bed – over her
I’d have thought that you’d know better
Her number’s still in your phone
You’ll never be,
don’t you know, as you were
She is gone – just forget her
Yes, it’s so – we both know
That it’s best that you let go
‘Cause she
did long ago
Sometimes when love is so strong
You can’t imagine that anything could ever
Possibly go wrong
But if love’s over and
done
How long will you let it take to admit
That she isn’t the one
So if she holds a piece of your heart
Leave her that part
Your
new start is long overdue
And if you can’t just be her friend – I recommend
That you move on and find someone new
Because you can’t make
someone love you
So if she holds a piece of your heart
Leave her that part
Your new start is long overdue
And if you can’t just
be her friend – I recommend
That you move on and find someone new
Because you can’t make someone love you
No, you can’t make someone
love you
Stay In School
Copyright Bod and Alpert 1980
I can’t quite put my finger on it
I don’t feel like I really belong
I thought when you’re well-taught
That nothing can go wrong
I
lived well when I was a student
I made plans and I’d follow them through
No doubt how they’d turn out
I knew just what to do
Now it seems that I’m lacking direction
Someone chart me a mid-course
correction
If I’d ask my guidance counselor
I know he’d say, “Stay
in school.”
You don’t use everything they teach you
In no time you forget what you’ve learned
Who cares if it’s unfair
It’s no cause
for concern
You can cut an occasional class
When you’ve something better to do
Pass your tests and don’t ask
questions
It’s so easy – stay in school
What do you have to do to feel like a success
A job from 9 to 5 might make your life a mess
You can’t determine your future with a prayer and a guess
My own peers think the choice is clear
The time will soon come
To make a decision
I don’t feel like I’m getting older
I just feel like I’m losing control
I don’t eat and
I can’t sleep
Regret will take its toll
I’ve got plenty of motivation
I work hard - my intensions are pure
What more could you ask
for
I thought I’d feel secure
I don’t know where my next meal
will come from
I don’t know just how long I can go on
Maybe I should seek employment
My old man says, “Stay In School.”
Everyone is such an expert
They all tell me, “Stay in School”
They tell me, “Stay in School”
They tell me, “Stay in School”
They
tell me, “Stay in School”
Love Is Like Chocolate
Copyright Bod 2013
Honey is sweet - Sugar is sweet
Chocolate is sweet but it’s bitter sometimes
Love
can be kind - Love can be blind
Love can be sweet but it’s bitter sometimes
Love is like chocolate
You know that I want it
Love
is like chocolate
I always want a little more
Candy is nice – It’s sugar and spice
But love
is like chocolate – It’s my guilty vice
Your love is fine – It’s sweeter than wine
Your love is like chocolate – Your love is divine
Love is like chocolate
You know that I want it
Love
is like chocolate
I always want a little more
Love is like chocolate – It’s my obsession
I
can’t do without it – That’s my confession
I’m hooked forever – That’s my prediction
No type of rehab – can cure this addiction
I’ve
nothing to hide – I’m hungry inside
If love is like chocolate, I’ll swallow my pride
I need your love – Feed me your love
Your love is
like chocolate – I can’t get enough
Love is like chocolate
You know I want it
Love is like chocolate
I always want a little more
Love is
like chocolate
Love is like chocolate
Love is like chocolate
I always want a little more
