Stay In Love

Copyright   Bod and Alpert  1979

 

I don’t have much money

I just get paid the going rate

I’m working for us, honey

A life together is our fate

 

I hate this struggle more and more

Who do you think I’m living for

Stay in love – for my sake stay in love

 

All your friends are shaken

‘Cause you’re hooked up with a guy like me

My heart’s been awakened

I see their point and I half agree

 

            It’s the oldest story in the world

           How the no-good guy gets the so-good girl

            Lord above, help her stay in love

 

                       I think it’s tragic

                       Gee you’re so romantic

                       I don’t know what to do

                       Let’s stop all of our fussing and fighting

 

I don’t have an answer

For why things work out the way that they do

But every day’s a chance to

Think about it and be with you

 

I hate this struggle more and more

Who do you think I’m living for

Stay in love – for my sake stay in love

 

Lord above, help her stay in love

 

 

You Can’t Make Someone Love You

Copyright  M. Bod 2016

 

You sipped your bourbon last night

And even in the dim light of the bar

It was clear that you were crying

You tried to hold back your tears

As you whispered in my ear

That you swore your love for her is undying

 

Even though – we both know

That it’s best that you let go

‘Cause she did long ago

 

Sometimes when love is so strong

You can’t imagine that anything could ever

Possibly go wrong

But if love’s over and done

How long will you let it take to admit

That she isn’t the one

 

So if she holds a piece of your heart

Leave her that part

Your new start is long overdue

And if you can’t just be her friend – I recommend

That you move on and find someone new

Because you can’t make someone love you

 

I shook my head when you said

You cry all night in your bed – over her

I’d have thought that you’d know better

Her number’s still in your phone

You’ll never be, don’t you know, as you were

She is gone – just forget her

 

Yes, it’s so – we both know

That it’s best that you let go

‘Cause she did long ago

 

Sometimes when love is so strong

You can’t imagine that anything could ever

Possibly go wrong

But if love’s over and done

How long will you let it take to admit

That she isn’t the one

 

So if she holds a piece of your heart

Leave her that part

Your new start is long overdue

And if you can’t just be her friend – I recommend

That you move on and find someone new

Because you can’t make someone love you

 

So if she holds a piece of your heart

Leave her that part

Your new start is long overdue

And if you can’t just be her friend – I recommend

That you move on and find someone new

Because you can’t make someone love you

 

No, you can’t make someone love you

Stay In School             

Copyright   Bod and Alpert 1980

 

I can’t quite put my finger on it

I don’t feel like I really belong

I thought when you’re well-taught

That nothing can go wrong

 

I lived well when I was a student

I made plans and I’d follow them through

No doubt how they’d turn out

I knew just what to do

 

           Now it seems that I’m lacking direction

            Someone chart me a mid-course correction

            If I’d ask my guidance counselor

I know he’d say, “Stay in school.”

 

You don’t use everything they teach you

In no time you forget what you’ve learned

Who cares if it’s unfair

It’s no cause for concern

 

            You can cut an occasional class

           When you’ve something better to do

            Pass your tests and don’t ask questions

            It’s so easy – stay in school

 

                       What do you have to do to feel like a success

                       A job from 9 to 5 might make your life a mess

                       You can’t determine your future with a prayer and a guess

                       My own peers think the choice is clear

                       The time will soon come

To make a decision

 

I don’t feel like I’m getting older

I just feel like I’m losing control

I don’t eat and I can’t sleep

Regret will take its toll

 

I’ve got plenty of motivation

I work hard - my intensions are pure

What more could you ask for

I thought I’d feel secure

 

            I don’t know where my next meal will come from

            I don’t know just how long I can go on

           Maybe I should seek employment

            My old man says, “Stay In School.”

 

           Everyone is such an expert

They all tell me, “Stay in School”

 

They tell me, “Stay in School”

They tell me, “Stay in School”

They tell me, “Stay in School”

 

Love Is Like Chocolate

Copyright Bod   2013

 

Honey is sweet - Sugar is sweet

Chocolate is sweet but it’s bitter sometimes

Love can be kind - Love can be blind

Love can be sweet but it’s bitter sometimes

 

                  Love is like chocolate

                  You know that I want it

                   Love is like chocolate

       I always want a little more

 

Candy is nice – It’s sugar and spice

But love is like chocolate – It’s my guilty vice

Your love is fine – It’s sweeter than wine

Your love is like chocolate – Your love is divine

 

                  Love is like chocolate

                  You know that I want it

                   Love is like chocolate

       I always want a little more

 

Love is like chocolate – It’s my obsession

I can’t do without it – That’s my confession

I’m hooked forever – That’s my prediction

No type of rehab – can cure this addiction

 

I’ve nothing to hide – I’m hungry inside

If love is like chocolate, I’ll swallow my pride

I need your love – Feed me your love

Your love is like chocolate – I can’t get enough

 

Love is like chocolate

                       You know I want it

                       Love is like chocolate

I always want a little more

 

Love is like chocolate

Love is like chocolate

Love is like chocolate

I always want a little more
