Laura, can't you give me some time,
I got to give myself one more chance.
To be the man that I know I am.
To be the man that I know I am.
Won't you just tell Cincinnati,
I'm Gonna need your love.
Don't you give me your love?

Don't you give me your,
Ch'mon,
Ch'mon,
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love,
Don't you give me your,
Ch'mon,
Ch'mon,
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love?
Don't you give me your.

[Instrumental]

Freeda, cant you spare me a dime?
I got to give myself one more chance.
To ring the band that I know I'm in.
To ring the band that I know I'm in.
Won't you just tell Baby Daddy,
I'm gonna need his love.
Why don't you give me he love?
Why don't you give me he,

Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love,
Don't you give me your,
Ch'mon,

Don't you give me your.

This'll be the last time,
I ever do your hair.
One face among the many,
I never thought you cared.
This'll be the last time,
I ever do your hair.
One face among the many,
I never thought you cared

Que te han visto arañar
banquetas con tus tacones de aguja,
que no sales del bar, que vives entre burbujas.
Que te sangra la nariz, que la bulimia hoy es tu gerente,
que ya no existe barniz para tu blanco casi transparente.

Que te inyectas la soledad y le echas polvo a la rutina,
éxtasis de felicidad y colirio a las retinas.

Dijeron que andas por ahí,
luciendo marcas en tus antebrazos,
que nadie quiere ya saber de ti,
y las pasarelas no han visto tus pasos.
Que la autoestima se te fue a París
y la debacle se mudó a tu casa.

Laura, modelo de pasarela, ¿te acuerdas de mí?
Laura, tu primer novio en la escuela, ayer en un sueño vi
que en el andén del tren del purgatorio
preguntan quién quiere alquilarse un dormitorio
en el vagón de la clase ejecutiva,
donde Dios, el Diablo y sus mortajas,
juegan, los dos, tu futuro a las barajas.

Si te acuerdas de mí, soy el mismo, el que te adoraba.
Si te acuerdas de ti, no cuelgues esta llamada.
Entérate que sigo aquí, congelándome en el tiempo,
esperando a que digas si, para ir hasta tu encuentro.

Laura, modelo de pasarela, ¿te acuerdas de mí?
Laura, tu primer novio en la escuela, ayer en un sueño vi
que en el andén del tren del purgatorio
preguntan quién quiere alquilarse un dormitorio
en el vagón de la clase ejecutiva,
donde Dios, el Diablo y sus mortajas,
juegan, los dos, tu futuro a las barajas.

Si te acuerdas de mí, soy el mismo, el que te adoraba.
Si te acuerdas de ti, no cuelgues esta llamada.

When did it start?
We used to be friends
Now when I run into you, I pretend I don't see you
I know that you hate me

I've tried to be tough
I've tried to be mean
I don't want to be like this
And I hope that you listen
All I'm trying to say is

Reach out and touch me
I'm right here
And I don't want to fight anymore
I really wanna be your friend forever
Friends until the end of it all

I know I've made mistakes
But I'm asking you give me a break
I really wanna be your friend forever
Friends forever

You've been a bitch
(Oh no I haven't been)
I've been an ass
(Oh yes you have)
I don't want to point the finger
I just know I don't like it
I don't wanna do this

What can I do? (What should I do?)
Is it too late? (Oh, oh, oh)
I just want to say I'm sorry
And I hope you listen
All I'm trying to say is

Reach out and touch me
I'm right here
And I don't want to fight anymore
I really wanna be your friend forever
Friends until the end of it all

I know I've made mistakes
But I'm asking you to give me a break
I really wanna be your friend forever
Friends forever

Laura, baby, I'm right here
And I don't wanna fight anymore
I really wanna be your friend forever
Friends until the end of it all

I know I've made mistakes
But I'm asking you to give me a break
I really wanna be your friend forever
Friends forever
(I wanna, I wanna, I really really wanna...)

This next song is about a young lady called Laura
Who unfortunatley isn't with us anymore
But she's still called Laura
...Here we go...

Feel the words from my lips
To your harsh finger tips
Then you know where I come from
Cause I know, yes I know
Everything there is to know
Cause I lost everything I had
See, I Could have danced on the sun
But meh world came undone

(Laura)
Laura!!!!!!!!

There's no need for tears
Cause there's no need to cry
I look at you leave
..................
The pain in my head comes straight from the heart
.........Can touch who you are
So bow down, Laura
Cause no one could take your place
Bow down, Laura
Your beauty will never fade
...................
...................
And after this song, her spirit lives on
Though your not around you'll never be gone

So bow down, Laura
Cause no one can take your place
Bow down, Laura
Your beauty will never fade
And I... I could have danced on the sun
But my world came undone
Laura
Yeah, I... I could have danced on the sun
But my world came undone
Bye Bye Laura

So bow down, Laura
Cause no one could take your place
Your beauty will never fade
So bow down, Laura
Cause no one can take your place
Bow down, Laura
Your beauty will never fade

Yeah!

Laura calls me in the middle of the night
Passes on her painful information
Then these careless fingers
They get caught in her vice
Til they're bleeding on my coffee table

Living alone isn't all that it's cracked up to be
I'm on her side, why does she push the poison on me?

Laura has a very hard time
All her life has been one long disaster
Then she tells me she suddenly believes
She's seen very good sign
She'll be taking some aggressive action

I fight her wars while she's slamming her doors in my face
Failure to break was the only mistake that she made

Here I am feeling like a fucking fool
Do I react the way exactly she intends me to?
Everytime I think I'm off the hook
She makes me lose my cool
I'm her machine, and she can punch all the keys
She can push any button I was programmed through

Laura calls me when she needs a good fix
All her questions will get sympathetic answers
I should be so immunized to all of her tricks
She's surviving on her second chances

Sometimes I feel like this godfather deal is all wrong
How can she hold an umbilical chord for so long?

I've done everything I can
What else am I supposed to do
I'm her machine, and she can punch all the keys
She can push any button I was programmed through

Laura loves me even if I don't care
That's my problem, that's her sacred absolution
If she had to, she would put herself in my chair
Even though I faced electrocution

She always says I'm the best friend that she's ever had
How do you hang up on someone who needs you that bad?

Laura, can't you give me some time?
I got to give myself one more chance.
To be the man that I know I am.
To be the man that I know I am.

Won't you just tell Cincinnati..
I'm gonna need your love.
Don't you give me your love?
Don't you give me your..
Chamown
Chamown
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love?
Don't you give me your..
Chamown
Chamown
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love?
Don't you give me your...

Frida, can't you spare me a dime?
I got to give myself one more chance.
To ring the band that I know I'm in.
To ring the band that I know I'm in.

Won't you just tell BabyDaddy..
I'm gonna need his love.
Why don't he give me his love?
Why don't he give me his..
Chamown
Chamown
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love?
Don't you give me your..

This'll be the last time..
I ever do your hair.
One face among the many..
I never thought you cared.
This'll be the last time..
I ever do your hair.

Laura, y a tant d'hommes que je ne suis pas.
Y a tant de phrases qu'on dit, que je ne te dirai pas.
Oh oh, Laura, j'aurai tant à apprendre de toi,
Tous ces mots tendres qu'on sait, moi je ne les sais pas.

J'ai poussé comme on respire,
Sans abri, ni foi, ni loi.
Ce qui m'a fait vivre était à moi.
Des caresses et des sourires,
J'ai souvent passé mon tour.
Je n'ai jamais appris à donner tant d'amour.

Laura, le temps passe et me remplit de toi.
J'n'avais besoin de personne et tant de place pour toi.
Oh oh, Laura, petit rien du tout mais tant pour moi,
Tous ces conseils qu'on donne, tu ne les entendras pas.

J'ai dépensé tant de forces
Pour des empires en papier,
Des rêves déjà presque oubliés,
Mais que le diable les emporte !
Tout me semble dérisoire,
Evaporé dans le bleu de ton regard.

Laura, Laura,
Oh oh oh, Laura...

Je n'attendais rien de toi, qu'une raison d'être là,
Juste une trace avant de partir.
Oh oh, mais de tes rires et de tes bras,
Tu m'inventes un avenir, te regarder pousser me fera grandir.

Oh oh oh, Laura.
Oh oh oh, Laura.
Oh oh oh, Laura.

Laura,
es tu nombre
que unido va,
Laura,
a un misterio de amor.
Quizás
tus ojos con su brillar
podrán de tu pasión hablar.
Por eso, Laura,
todos quieren mirarte así,
Laura,
con tal fuego y pasión.
Por ver
si logran al fin saber
de tus ojos
el secreto de amor.

They say that falling in love is wonderful
So wonderful
So they say

The thing that's known as romance is wonderful
So wonderful
So they tell me

I can't recall who said it
I know I never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand, and...
If there's a moon up above it's wonderful, wonderful
In everyway
So they say.

You leave your house one morning
And without any warning
You find yourself ?? that love is grand

To hold your girl in your arms
Is wonderful, wonderful
In everyway
So they say.

Where did it start?
We used to be friends
Now when I run into you, I pretend I don't see you
I know that you hate me

I've tried to be tough
I've tried to be mean
I don't want to be like this
And I hope that you listen
All I'm trying to say is

Reach out and touch me
I'm right here
And I don't want to fight anymore
I really wanna be your friend forever
Friend until the end of the
Oh!

I know I've made mistakes
But I'm asking you give me a break
I really wanna be your friend forever
Friends forever

You've been a bitch
I've been an ass
I don't want to point the finger
I just know I don't like it
I don't wanna do this

What can I do? (What should I do?)
Is it too late? (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I just want to say I'm sorry
And I hope you listen
I'm trying to say this

Reach out and touch me

And I don't want to fight anymore
I really wanna be your friend forever
Friend until the end of your
Oh!

I know I've made mistakes
But I'm asking you to give me a break
I really wanna be your friend forever
Friends forever

Laura! baby, I'm right here
And I don't wanna fight anymore
I really wanna be your friend forever
Friend until the end of your
Oh

I know I've made mistakes
But I'm asking you to give me a break
I really wanna be your friend forever
Friends forever

Dud'n dud'n dud'n dud'n, dud'n dud'n dud'n dud'n

The grain bag sits on the chair, and why the hell am I with ya?
And if you told me that it wasn't there, why the hell am I with ya?
You know I really don't care, and why the hell now with ya?
I told my mommy that it was ok, and why the hell now with ya?

Laura -- Laura
Oh baby I cut myself

And if you threw the garbage away, why the hell am I with ya?
And if you knew you wanted to stay, then why the hell now with ya?
Little Eddie Dingle is going away, and why the hell now with ya?
Somebody wants to come and play, and why the hell am I with ya?

Laura -- Laura

You know something? I've got somethin' -- I've got somethin' --
I've got somethin' for all the people in the world

Pd...david raksin / johnny mercer...Pd...

Pd...Laura is the face in the misty light
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall

Pd...And you see Laura on a train that is passing through
Those eyes how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura but she's only a dream

Pd...She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura
But she's only a dream...Pd.
...Pd...

Kijk ze lacht zonder gevoel,
Een onbereikbaar doel,
Wordt er toch nog nagestreeft.
Ruik, de geur van grootse moed,
stroomt nog door haar bloed,
maar waarom..??

Haar naam is Laura,
een hele lieve meid
Als ik in haar ogen kijk ben ik de weg heel even kwijt.
O Laura, een leven vol verdriet, al haar vrienden lopen buiten
Maar voor Laura geldt dat niet

Proef de smaak van haar gevecht,
het is zo onterecht,
maar daar legt zij zich bij neer
Hoor de stemmen in haar hoofd,
waardoor ze weer geloofd,
maar waarom..??

Haar naam is Laura,
een hele lieve meid
Als ik in haar ogen kijk ben ik de weg heel even kwijt.
O Laura, een leven vol verdriet, al haar vrienden lopen buiten
Maar voor Laura geldt dat niet

Maar waarom is alles nu voorbij(alles nu voorbij)
Laat het leven je nooit meer vrij

Haar naam is Laura,
een hele lieve meid
Als ik in haar ogen kijk ben ik de weg heel even kwijt.
O Laura, een leven vol verdriet, al haar vrienden lopen buiten
Maar voor Laura geldt dat niet
