Does it diminish your super capacity to love? Does it diminish your super capacity to love? Walk like a matador, don't be chicken shit And turn breezes into rivulets Flamenco sweep the air and weave the sun And stamp your feet for everyone Does it exhibit your natural tendency to hate?

Maybe a prostitute could teach you How to take a compliment Maybe I'll go to New York, I'll drag you there You said, "No one drags me anywhere" Does it diminish your super capacity to love?

As andorinhas voltaram E eu também voltei Pousar no velho ninho Que um dia aqui deixei Nós somos andorinhas Que vão e que vem À procura de amor Às vezes volta cansada Ferida, machucada Mas volta pra casa Batendo suas asas Com grande dor Igual à andorinha Eu parti sonhando Mas foi tudo em vão Voltei sem felicidade Porque, na verdade Uma andorinha Voando sozinha Não faz verão As andorinhas voltaram E eu também voltei Pousar no velho ninho Que um dia aqui deixei Nós somos andorinhas Que vão e que vem À procura de amor Às vezes volta cansada Ferida, machucada Mas volta pra casa Batendo suas asas Com grande dor Igual à andorinha Eu parti sonhando Mas foi tudo em vão Voltei sem felicidade Porque, na verdade Uma andorinha Voando sozinha Não faz verão

Eu quero que risque meu nome da sua agenda Esqueça meu telefone, não me ligue mais Porque já estou cansado de ser o remédio Pra curar seu tédio Quando seus amores não lhe satisfazem Cansei de ser o seu palhaço Fazer o que sempre quis Cansei de curar sua fossa Quando você não se sentia feliz Por isso é que decidi O meu telefone cortar Você vai discar várias vezes Telefone mudo não pode chamar. Doente de amor Procurei remédio na vida noturna. Como a flor da noite Em uma boate aqui na zona sul. A dor do amor é com outro amor Que a gente cura. Vim curar a dor deste mal de amor Na boate azul. E quando a noite vai se agonizando No clarão da aurora. Os integrantes da vida noturna Se foram dormir. E a dama da noite Que estava comigo Também foi embora. Fecharam-se as portas Sozinho de novo Tive que sair. Sair de que jeito, Se nem sei o rumo para onde vou. Muito vagamente me lembro que estou, Em uma boate aqui na zona sul Eu bebi demais E não consigo me lembrar sequer. Qual é o nome daquela mulher, A flor da noite da boate azul.

He is sensible and so incredible And all my single friends are jealous He says everything I need to hear And it's like I couldn't ask for anything better He opens up my door and I get into his car And he says, "You look beautiful tonight" And I feel perfectly fine But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain And it's 2:00 a.m. and I'm cursing your name So in love that you act insane And that's the way I loved you Breakin' down and coming undone It's a roller coaster kinda rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you He respects my space and never makes me wait And he calls exactly when he says he will He's close to my mother, talks business with my father He's charming and endearing and I'm comfortable But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain And it's 2:00 a.m. and I'm cursing your name So in love that you act insane And that's the way I loved you Breakin' down and coming undone It's a roller coaster kinda rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you He can't see the smile I'm faking And my heart's not breaking 'Cause I'm not feeling anything at all And you were wild and crazy Just so frustrating, intoxicating, complicated Got away by some mistake and now I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain It's 2:00 a.m. and I'm cursing your name So in love that I acted insane And that's the way I loved you Breaking down and coming undone It's a roller coaster kinda rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you, whoa, whoa, oh, oh Oh, and that's the way I loved you Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Never knew I could feel that much That's the way I loved you

My big brother rode an Indian Scout, it was black like his jacket American Spirit hangin' outta his mouth, just like our daddy He kick-started that bike one night and broke mama's heart He pointed that headlight West, out where the wild things are He'd call me up every couple of weeks from South California Talk about the desert and the Joshua Tree and his pretty girl stories And how he bought an Air stream trailer and a J-45 guitar Said, "Little brother, you'd love it out here, out where the wild things are" Oh, oh-oh, it's hearts on fire and crazy dreams Oh, oh-oh, the nights ignite like gasoline And light up those streets that never sleep when the sky goes dark Out where the wild things are I called my brother from the back of that plane the second I made it We started drinkin' on the strip in L.A. and then it got crazy Ended up at a house in the hills with some Hollywood Stars Kissin' on a blonde in a backyard pool, out where the wild things are! (Oh, yeah!) Couple of iron horse rebels wild as the devil I knew I had to move back East Said goodbye to my brother at the end of that summer But I knew he'd never leave Oh, oh-oh, it's hearts on fire and crazy dreams Oh, where the nights ignite like gasoline? And oh, oh-oh, them Indian Scouts, man, they're built for speed And oh, oh-oh, they said he hit that guard rail at half-past three Lit up those streets that never sleep when the sky goes dark We buried him, out in the wind, beneath the West Coast stars Out where the wild things are Out where the wild things are

You take a deep breath, and you walk through the doors It's the mornin' of your very first day You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while Try and stay out of everybody's way It's your freshman year, and you're gonna be here For the next four years in this town Hopin' one of those senior boys will wink at you and say "You know, I haven't seen you around before" 'Cause when you're 15 and somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're 15, feelin' like there's nothin' to figure out Well, count to ten, take it in This is life before you know who you're gonna be at 15 You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail And soon enough, you're best friends Laughin' at the other girls who think they're so cool We'll be outta here as soon as we can And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car And you're feelin' like flyin' And your mama's waitin' up and you're thinkin' he's the one And you're dancin' 'round your room when the night ends When the night ends 'Cause when you're 15 and somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're 15 and your first kiss Makes your head spin 'round, well In your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team I didn't know it at 15 When all you wanted was to be wanted Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now Back then, I swore I was gonna marry him someday But I realized some bigger dreams of mine And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy who changed his mind And we both cried 'Cause when you're 15 and somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're 15, don't forget to look before you fall But I've found time can heal most anything And you just might find who you're supposed to be I didn't know who I was supposed to be at 15 La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la Your very first day Take a deep breath, girl Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors
