Nothin' against you I don't speak If I pass you by Look away when we meet If I turn my back And walk the other way Just leave me alone To myself for awhile And believe It's nothin' against you Now don't get me wrong If I don't call If I don't write Or let you hear from me at all If I pull my shades When you knock on the door Just leave me alone To myself for awhile And believe Nothin' against you Ohh, I won't see no one Leave me alone You don't need to see me suffer And hear me weep and moan Oh, it's hard enough Just tryin' to face the day So I don't need none of that Sorry and all that crap Just go away Don't take offense When I turn you down But since she's been gone I don't want anyone around Just don't be worried about me I know what I'm doing Just leave me alone To myself for awhile And believe It's nothin' against you Nothin' against you Ohh, leave me alone (rockin' guitar solo and outro)Top of Page

Sometimes at night When I close my eyes I see three women All standing in a line The one on the left She took my heart The one on the right Said she wanted to be free But the one in the middle I still love her And I wonder Does she ever think of me? In my mind I've been to a thousand places When I walk down the street I stare into a thousand faces The flame of love Once shined so brightly Now it's just A slow-burning memory But the one in the middle I still love her Oh, and I wonder Does she ever think of me? Maybe, she wouldn't even care No, that's ok It's all in a dream It's all in a dream, anyway But the one in the middle Oh, I still love her And I wonder, does she ever think of me? SOLO But the one in the middle Ohhhhh, I still love her And I wonder, does she ever think of me?Top of Page
INTRO I see a tear in your eye You look troubled There's a burning down inside that won't stop She's says what she wants is her freedom It's hard to let love just fly away It's so hard to understand You're seeing double It didn't turn out like you planned It just went on You can't change the way the wind blows It just goes where it wants to Little birds do, too Little birds do, too She's got wings She's gone away She's got wings And all you got is shoes She used to beat your sweet little angel All she wants is her freedom You can't change the way the wind blows Noooo Noooo Hey! Mmmmmm She wants space What you gonna do? ohhhhTop of Page
