you took away all my self-confidence

i guess i'm not the only boy for you

how can you turn me into this?
after you just taught me how to kiss
you i told you i'd never say goodbye
now i'm slipping on the tears you made me cry

but that's what i get

why's it come as a surprise
to think that i was so naive
maybe didn't mean that much
but it meant everything to me

Hootie wrote:You and me
We come from different worlds
You like to laugh at me
When I look at other girls

Sometimes you’re crazy
And you wonder why
I’m such a baby
Cause the dolphins make me cry

Well theres nothing I can do
I’ve been looking for a girl like you

You look at me
You’ve got nothing left to say
I’ll only pout at you until I get my way
I won’t dance
You won’t sing
I just want to love you but you want to wear my ring.

Chorus:
Well there’s nothing I can do
I only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
Only wanna be with you

Put on a little Dylan
Sitting on a fence
I say that line is great
You ask me what I meant by
“Said I shot a man named Gray
Took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks
And when she died it came to me
I can’t help it if I’m lucky"

Only wanna be with you
Ain’t Bobby so cool
Only wanna be with you

(solo)

Yeah I’m tangled up in blue
Only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
Only wanna be with you

Sometimes I wonder
If it will ever end
You get so mad at me
When I go out with my friends
Sometimes you’re crazy
And you wonder why
I’m such a baby yeah
The dolphins make me cry

Well there’s nothing I can do
Only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
Only wanna be with you
Yeah I’m tangled up in blue
Only wanna be with you

Quest For Fire

In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth
When the land was swamp and caves were home
In an age when prize possession was fire
To search for landscapes men would roam.

Then the tribes they came to steal their fire
And the wolves they howled into the night
As they fought a vicious angry battle
to save the power of warmth and light.

Drawn by quest for fire
They searched all through the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man.

And they thought that when the embers died away
That the flame of life had burnt and died
Didn't know the sparks that made the fire
Were made by rubbing stick and stone.

So they ploughed through the forest and swamps of danger
And they fought the cannibal tribes and beasts
In the search to find another fire
To regain the power of light and heat.

Drawn by quest for fire
They searched across the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man.
