Kiss Me Once
04:18

|
I hope you never get tired that all the time
I tell you all of your kisses are sublime
You make me sing, each time you kiss me once
I hear violins, each time you kiss me once
You & I had rhythm before we ever found a
rhyme
Now our melody is sweet, in perfect time, so
Kiss me once and I'll be dancin’
Kiss me twice and I'll be walking on air
Kiss me again and I will fly
But, say you'll kiss me again tomorrow,
and if there's a heaven, I'll be there
I've waited all of my life just to be yours
I've always known you're the woman I adore
I start to dance each time you kiss me once
I start to laugh each time you kiss me once
I want to celebrate this feeling ‘cuz it's 11 out of 9
I want to tell the world that you're my life-long
Valentine, so
Kiss me once and I'll be dancin’
Kiss me twice and I'll be walking on air
Kiss me again and I will fly
But, say you'll kiss me again tomorrow,
and if there's a heaven, I'll be there
(Tell me again) We're parallel lines
(Tell me again) That somehow combine
(Tell me again) It's almost divine
Kiss me once and I'll be dancin’
Kiss me twice and I'll be walking on air
Kiss me again and I will fly
But, say you'll kiss me again tomorrow,
and if there's a heaven, I'll be there
Kiss me once and I'll be dancin’
Kiss me twice and I'll be walking on air
Kiss me again and I will fly
But, say you'll kiss me again tomorrow,
and if there's a heaven, I'll be there
Say you'll kiss me again tomorrow,
and if there's a heaven, I'll be there
Say you'll kiss me again tomorrow,
and if there's a heaven, I'll be there

I've Seen Love
03:37
|
|||
|
I've felt good before, but never have I felt so fine
Now, forevermore,
my happiness has been defined
‘Cuz, ever since you told me
that you want to hold me
This feeling has controlled me
and it's long overdue
I've seen love
I've dreamed love
This screams love
And It's exactly how I thought that it would be
Check my perma-smile.
A smile that cannot be erased
Girl, you know that I'll keep you in my happy
place
Ever since you said you need me, I'm smiling
when I'm sleeping
I love you girl, so deeply.
My dreams have all come true
I've seen love
I've dreamed love
This screams love
And It's exactly how I thought that it would be
Ever since you told me
that you want to hold me
This feeling has controlled me and it's long
overdue
I've seen love
I've dreamed love
This screams love
And It's exactly how I thought
that it would be

Tell Me
03:41
|

Come hold my hand awhile
while we sit by the fire
Tell me about your day.
Let me see your eyes smile
Now that we're all alone, snuggled up
safe & warm
Let's put on some Philly tunes and just let our
hearts sing
Tell me I'll always be with you
Tell me you'll always be mine
Tell me we'll be ours forever
Tell me
Your love is everything
Now, my world is complete
I'm right where I want to be
Right where our two hearts meet
Tell me I'll always be with you
Tell me you'll always be mine
Tell me we'll be ours forever
Tell me
True love has less to do with what I receive
But it has everything to do with what I want to
give
Tell me I'll always be with you
Tell me you'll always be mine
Tell me we'll be ours forever
Tell me
Tell me I'll always be with you
Tell me you'll always be mine
Tell me we'll be ours forever
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me

Happy I'm In Love
03:21
|
|||
|
My friends tell me to just walk away
To cut my losses, before this all becomes cliché
They keep telling me that my naïveté
Is gonna cost me more than I'm prepared to pay
They say you'll never change
They say I'll be left with a broken heart, again
But I say if they really love me
They should be happy I'm in love, again
Happy I’m in love
I tell my friends they just don't understand
That they're mistaken and don't know you
the way I do
I told them that this time you really will change
To mind their business if they don't feel the way
I do
I don't wanna be alone
I'm no good without you, baby girl
I don't care what anyone might say
They should be happy I'm in love, again
Happy I’m in love
(What ya gonna do? What ya gonna say?)
I feel fine
(Tell us you can see what we’re tryin’ to say)
I'm not blind
(Everything’s the same each and every day)
You never hear a word I say
They say you'll never change
They say I'll be left with a broken heart, again
But I say, if they really love me
They should be happy I'm in love, again
I don't wanna be alone
I'm no good without you, baby girl
I don't care what anyone might say
They should be happy I'm in love, again
They should be happy I'm in love, again
They should be happy I'm in love, again
Happy I'm in love

A Man Like Me
04:42
|
|||
|
My Mama taught me some important things
about being a man
About love & respect, about decency
and about romance
She taught me well.
I try to make her as proud as I can
A man is supposed to learn that a woman is not a
possession or prize
And I’d hoped that you’d appreciate that, but
now I’ve come to realize
That you don’t really want a man like me
Who treats a girl the way his Mama said he
should
You don’t really want a man like me
Woman, you ain’t lookin’ for a man that’ll
treat you good
I really don’t get how a woman don’t run for the
best man she can
But instead, you seem to gravitate for a man
no real man can understand
You don’t really want a man like me
Who treats a girl the way his Mama said he
should
You don’t really want a man like me
Woman, you ain’t lookin’ for a man that’ll
treat you good
I could never hate you, no matter what
hurtful things you do or say
So, the best thing I can do is speak my
mind and walk away
You don’t really want a man like me
Who treats a girl the way his Mama said he
should
You don’t really want a man like me
Woman, you ain’t lookin’ for a man that’ll
treat you good

I'm Done With You
04:14
|
|||
|
You can't say I don't do everything you want
me to, almost
But when you say you're leaving me again
I'm not gonna stop you
Not this time
I've had it with your lies
I've had it with the times you made me cry
And this time
No matter what you say
You can't erase what happened yesterday
Not this time
There's no pleasing you, but that's exactly what
I tried to do
So when you say you've found somebody new
I'm not gonna stop you
Not this time
When you walk out that door
You're not coming back here anymore
Not this time
No matter what you do
You can't erase what I probably always knew
I'm done with you. There's nothin' you can say
I'm done with you, so pack up your things today
I'm done with you. There's nothin' you can say
I'm done with you, so pack up your things today
Baby, I'm done with you
Not this time
I've had it with your lies
I've had it with the times you made me cry
And this time
No matter what you say
You can't erase what happened yesterday
Not this time
I'm done with you. There's nothin' you can say
I'm done with you, so pack up your things today
I'm done with you. There's nothin' you can say
I'm done with you, so pack up your things today
Baby, I'm done with you

If A Song
03:56
|
|||
|
There's no excuse for what I did
It was so short-sighted & desperate
With everything we've worked so hard to make
I didn't have my head on straight
You deserve better
I wish I'd never met her
The only thing I did right was telling you
If a song could change your mind
If a song could make you mine again
If a song could change your mind, I would write it
I promised you I'd be the one
I'd be full-on faithful and ever-true
But every day I worked so hard to hide
That I was fraud personified
You deserve better
I wish I'd never met her
The only thing I did right was telling you
If a song could change your mind
If a song could make you mine again
If a song could change your mind, I would write it
Laugh at me. All I can do is laugh at me
Until all I can do is just cry
Until I hate myself. Wish I was someone else
Who wasn't such a fool.
But I know that you'll just have to say goodbye
If a song could change your mind
If a song could make you mine again
If a song could change your mind, I would write it

I don't like it when I hurt you
When I say things no one ever should say
No matter how mad I get, I have to
Find a less self-righteous way
I don't wanna fight
Even when I know that I'm right
That's not the man that I want to be
Let's stop hurting each other
With every single word we say
Let's stop hurting each other
And finally go our separate ways
I remember when I fell you you
You made me feel like no-one ever before
I said I'd always love you, girl, and that
I'd be the Prince to your Princess, for evermore
Then everything changed
And everything turned into rage
That's not the man that I want to be
Let's stop hurting each other
With every single word we say
Let's stop hurting each other
And finally go our separate ways
But there's still a part of me that wants to tear
you down
And there's still a part of me that wants to see
you pay for what you've done to me
But then, I give my head a shake
Let's stop hurting each other
With every single word we say
Let's stop hurting each other
And finally go our separate ways

I Don't Believe In Love
04:33
|
|||
|
I think my problem is that I don’t believe in love
I mean, not for me. Not right now
For other people, yes.
But not for me. Not right now
(Open up) Not right now
(Tell me when) What if it’s never?
I’m getting tired of waiting
I so want to be in love
Why not for me? Why not right now?
I lust. I crush. I fantasize.
So, why not for me? Why not right now?
(Open up) Not right now
(Tell me when) What if it’s never?
I think a part of me decided,
as I lay weeping on the floor,
That “It’s better to have loved & lost”
is just some bullshit metaphor
I mean, that can’t really mean what it seems
to say
It’s just a lie we tell each other when we have
nothing intelligent to say
The best way is to love and to never lose
And all the rest is lies
(Open up) Not right now
(Tell me when) What if it’s never?
What if it’s never?
What if it’s never?
(Try believe in love)

For most of my life, I've been afraid of the dark
But now I finally realize
The truth is right before my eyes
If I flip that switch, then right away
It's not me who needs to be afraid
For most of our lives, we're all afraid of our fates
It's not too late to change things now
Responsibility is ours
We all need to stand our ground
Then more like us will gather 'round
Everything out in the darkness is more afraid
of the light
Everything out in the darkness is more afraid
of the right
For most of our lives, we're all afraid of the lies
With trust comes truth. With truth comes trust
They're both alive in all of us
Let's spread that truth around much more
And make ourselves worth fighting for
Everything out in the darkness is more afraid
of the light
Everything out in the darkness is more afraid
of the right
(Don't be afraid of the darkness)
(Don't be afraid of the darkness)
Because everything out in the darkness is
more afraid of you & me
Everything out in the darkness is more afraid
of you & me
Everything out in the darkness is more afraid
of the light
Everything out in the darkness is more afraid
of the right
Because everything out in the darkness is
more afraid of you & me
Everything out in the darkness is more afraid
of you & me

Dan McLean Jr Guelph, Ontario
Drawing from the ’70s sounds of Hall & Oates and Todd Rundgren, as well as the epic balladry of Meat Loaf, Dan McLean Jr’s music is admittedly “emotionally intense” in ways other male singers are not, necessarily.
