The Ego Confuses Love With Other Things

by Jon Locketti

 

“The Ego Confuses Love With Other Things”

 

V:      Love is not a word

         And love is not a song

         But everybody knows

         When it comes along

Ch:     Love is the greatest gift to give or receive

         The secret to life is, “love will never leave”

 

V:      Love is present all the time

         No matter what your feelings say

         The opposite of love is fear

         True, it can get in the way

Ch:

 

Bridge:            Love is always underneath

                     Keeping constant, like a beating drum

                     The ego confuses love with others things

                     Of all these things, love does not equate to one

Ch:

 

 

 

 

 

 

V:      Love is not a word

         Although sometimes we think of it that way

         And love is not a song

         Yet we sing to feel okay

Ch:

“Foolish Pride”

 

V:      I got a foolish pride                  

         I wanna run and hide

         From you

         You're taking me

         For granted you see

         And I'm miserable now

Ch:     I'm pretty sure

         We slammed a few doors

         Why not kiss and make up

V:

Ch:     I'm gonna be

         A big boy now

         Forget petty things

 

 

 

“How I Feel About You Now”

 

V:    Gonna write a song

         So I don't forget

         How I feel about you now

         You're the wonderful one

         That I have come

         To know all about

 

Br:    There's more than meets the eye

         The eye is met with a smile

         I need you

         You know I need you so much

 

V:   

Outro:        You're the kind of woman that makes it easy to feel loved

                     You're the kind of woman that makes me feel one

                     You're the kind of woman I want to be with 'til I die

                     You're the kind of woman for this guy

V:      Elaine, are you a little bit insane?

         Does your life feel so strange?

         Are you listening, Elaine?

         Elaine, does the memory remain?

         Are you feeling any pain?

         Is that you calling me again?

 

Ch:     And I will pray you'll be okay, Elaine (x2)

 

 

 

 

V:      Elaine, I know that I am not to blame

         Needn't be ashamed

         Nor do I need to explain why

 

Br:    Elaine, says to pray.  “Pray for me.” (x2)

         Elaine, I will pray that you'll be okay

         Through the fire burning

V:      I don't know why I can't get back up

         All I want is to write a song

         All I want to do

         Is sing my song to you

V:      You came to me

         You came in July

         Changed my life girl

         Opened up the sky

         Now all I want to do

         Is give my heart to you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Br:    She's deeply mysterious

         No one knows what she does

         When she's all by herself

         Her voice is so soft and sweet

         When I'm with her

         My heart is at peace

         Her life is so close to mine

         I think of her

         Most all of the time

V:      Now all I want to do

         Is give my heart to you

 

“Not Even In A Dream”

         Could I have dreamt of someone like you

         Cannot believe I found

         A love so profound

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“There's Nothing Easy About Love”

 

V1:  There's nothing easy about love

         It takes guts

         It takes courage

         It takes more, but

         Don't be discouraged

         You've got time

         You've got patience

         You've got more

         What are you waiting for?

V2:  There's nothing easy about love

         It takes much

         It takes so much

         It takes all that you got

         You've got what it takes

         Everyone does

         What are you waiting for?

Ch: There's so much more To this life

         You can hold on to your suffering

         Or let is all dissipate

         There is nothing moreI would hate

         Than to see you waste

         Your sweet, irreplaceable time

V1:

 

 

 

“Live For Today”

 

V:    If you ever want to know what I think

         Just ask

         If you can't remember what it is

         I said

         Just ask

Ch: And I'll say, “Live for today”

         You can't be sure of anything

         Nothing is certain

         So, live for today
