A shattered home 

A twisted child 

Never fit in with all the rest 



A cold, cold world 

A frozen man 

He lived his life with bitterness 



But when love came too close 

He would turn away 

He was angry inside 

And so afraid 



Don't you know 

You'll be the one 

I’ll always love 



A coloured garden 

A butterfly 

There was so much more than just a change 

A revelation 

A fearless man 

Finally free from all his pain 



And when love came to close 



And I feel like crying 

‘Cause I feel like we're slowly dying 

But I'll keep on 

Loving you 



Don't you know ...


I've got something to tell you baby 



In the arc of a love affair 

Lies the point of no return 

First you lose your self respect 

Then you hide all the hurt 



Well, I've been here thinkin' 

Long enough to figure out 

That a change has got to come 

And it's all up to you 



Be good or be gone 

Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone 

Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself 

Umm, one day you're gonna find yourself, by yourself 



You see the choice is so simple now 

Cause there really is no choice to make 

I not gonna let you treat me badly 

No, I won't be makin' that mistake 

And it's all up to you 



Be good or be gone 

Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone 

Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself 

Umm, one day you gonna find yourself, by yourself 



Make a decision, make up your mind 

Give me my proper respect and baby, don't ever forget 

That a real love is precious and rare 

But you've got to be ready to give, and ready to share 

It's all up to you 



Be good or be gone 

Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone 

Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself 

Umm, one day you gonna find yourself, by yourself
