No Jive
i was born a loner
a dreamer and a poet
well, wouldn't you know it
i got poetry to show it
it's theraputic for me
the greatest release
i'll read it and write
speak out with a mic
finally found my niche
in life
this ain't no jive
gotta do my part
to keep poetry alive
i made a commitment
to it and i gotta
keep it
i just can't quit it

Not All Love Is Pure
not all love is pure
this my dear, you must know
still my love for you is always
as fresh as the morning snow
since our separation
i've cried an ocean of tears
for the hand that fate has dealt us
has given life to all my fears

Nothin' But Trouble
When I woke up this morning,
I was so full of misery.
Yes, when I woke up this morning,
I was so full of misery.
I knew I had to face up to
Just what you're doing to me.
(chorus)
You're bad news, Baby.
You're the cause of my misery.
You're bad news, Baby.
You're the cause of my misery.
You're nothing but trouble.
That's all you could ever be to me.
I did my best for you, Darling.
But what good did it do?
I did my best for you, Darling,
But what good did it do?
Now, I find you're the kind of man
Who will always be untrue.
You can't love somebody,
If you don't know what love means.
You can't love anybody,
If you don't know what love means.
I know I've got to let go
And quit this crazy scene.
repeat chorus

Nothing
according to my recollection
i remember nothing
about you
mostly because you
were born before me
soon diappearing
as though the earth
swallowed you whole
i had six sisters
growing up
without a brother
never knowing you
were adopted off
being lied to
about your existence
i don't know much
about you at all
never saw your picture
never knew your name
for all i know
you could be
living next door
or be any one
i might pass by
in the street
