The Raw&The Cooked

Fine Young Cannibals The Raw&The Cooked Lyrics
1.She Drives Me Crazy

I can't stop
The way i feel
Things you do
Don't seem real
Tell you what i got in mind
'cause we're runnin' out of time
Won't you ever set me free?
This waitin' 'rounds killin' me

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And i can't help myself

I can't get
Any rest
People say
I'm obsessed
Everything that's serious lasts
But to me there's no surprise
What i have, i knew was true
Things go wrong, they always do

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And i can't help myself

I won't make it,
On my own
No on likes,
To be alone

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And i can't help myself

Uh huh huh

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And i can't help myself

Uh huh huh

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And i can't help myself


2.Good Thing

The one good thing
In my life
Has gone away
I don't know why
She's gone away
I don't know where
Somewhere i can't follow her
The one good thing didn't stay too long
Woo who who who
My back was turned and she was gone
Hey hey hey

Good thing
Where have you gone
Doo doo doobie doo
My good thing
You've been gone too long
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo

People say i should forget
There's plenty more don't get upset
Don't get upset
People say she's doing fine
Mutual friends i see sometime

That's not what i want to hear
Woo who who who
I want to hear she wants me near

Good thing
Where have you gone
Doo doo doobie doo
My good thing
You've been gone too long
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo
Good thing

Then one day
She came back
I was so happy that i didn't ask
Morning came
Hey hey hey hey
Into my room
Woo who who who
Caught me dreaming like a fool

Good thing
My good thing
Doo doo doobie doo
My my my my good thing
Where have you gone
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo
My good thing
Hey hey my good thing
Doo doo doobie doo good thing

Girl
Where have you gone
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
It's been so long
You're gone again
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
Good good girl
Good good girl
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
Good good
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
Good good


3.I'm Not The Man I Used To Be

When i'm in trouble or out of step
If my balance has been upset
Oh, there's a feeling i can't accept
There's one thing that helps me to forget
Wonder what i'm thinking
Wonder why i'm drinking
But it's plain to see,
I'm not the man i used to be

If life were easy and didn't ask,
Didn't tease me or take things back
I could start to understand,
What makes me the man i am

Wonder what i'm thinking
Wonder why i'm drinking
But it's plain to see,
I'm not the man i used to be

Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I'm not the man i used to be

I've lost dreams that won't come back,
Memories fading fast
I should save the ones i have
What's the use?
Most of them are bad

Wonder what i'm thinking
Wonder why i'm drinking
But it's plain to see,
I'm not the man i used to be

Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I can't explain
But i'm not the man i used to be
It's a shame, don't know my name
I can't explain
I'm not the man i used to be
Do you know my name?
Do you, do you need me?
But i'm not the man...


4.Tell Me What

Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what i gotta do
To make you notice
To make you look this way

What did i have to say?

Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what i have to say

To keep you with me
To make you want to stay
To have you every day

Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what i gotta do

Are you happy
I can never tell
You keep it to yourself

Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what it is you feel

Do you get frightened
Am i comin' on,
Just a little strong
And you're so quiet
I never know or not,
If i'm right or wrong

Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what i gotta do

Is there somethin'
I ought to be told
Do you want to go

Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what it is you know

So it's over?
Then we're really through?
What i heard is true?

Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me whatcha' gonna' do

To keep you with me
To make you want to stay
Too have you every day

Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what i gotta do

Tell me
Won't you tell me?

Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what i gotta do

No
Whoa girl
Won't you just, now,
Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what i gotta do...


5.Don't Look Back

Never had the good things only money could buy
I'd drive my car but i haven't got a car to drive
Never had a holiday in a tropical sun
Good times look rough they're never going to come
Oh i know these times are bad
And they make you want to cry
Don't be sad
We'll get by
Baby baby don't look back
It won't do no good
Baby baby don't look back
I'm going to leave and i think that you should

When i spent my life
In a place like this
On the first bus out
I'm going to get myself a lift
If you understand
Well that's alright
If you want to go
It's got to be tonight

Oh i know these times are bad
And it makes you want to cry
Don't feel sad
We'll get by
Baby baby don't look back
It won't do no good
Baby baby don't look back
I'm going to leave and i think that you should

Never had the good things only money could buy
I'd drive my car but i haven't got a car to drive

Oh i know these times are bad
And they make you want you to cry
Don't be sad
We'll get by
Baby baby don't look back
It won't do no good
Baby baby don't look back
I'm going to leave and i think that you should

Baby baby don't look back
It won't do no good
Baby baby don't look back
I'm going to leave and i think that you should
Baby baby don't look back
Baby baby don't look back
Baby baby don't look back


6.The Flame

I'll never be far from home
Talkin' on the telephone
You told me it's over, you made up your mind,
I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind
I'm left holding the torch
And the heat from the flame,
Only ease me a pain

Don't you know how much it hurts,
You took all i had and you threw it away

I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again

Nomatter what you say, it hurts
You didn't had to make it worse
It wouldn't be better as you told me yourself,
Instead that you left to somebody else

Maybe i could understand
You'd been staying with another man
Day isn't long and nights can be lonely
I wasn't there and you needed to hold me

I'm left holding the torch
And the heat from the flame,
Only ease me a pain

Don't you know how much it hurts,
You took all i had and you threw it away

I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again

I'll never be far from home
Talkin' on the telephone
You told me it's over, you made up your mind.
I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind.

I'm left holding the torch
And the heat from the flame,
Only ease me a pain

Don't you know how much it hurts,
You took all i had and you threw it away

I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
