Intro
I think you’ve forgotten about your last boyfriend
Put others right out of your mind
I want a chance give me a turn…
[brief build-up inst]
(Ch) I like you and I think I could love you
I want you to give me a chance
I’ll give you anything that I can give
Just let me into your world
(1) I went to the mall today
And every time I looked another way
I thought I saw your face on every girl around
So I kept on walking up to folks
But my eyes were clearly playing jokes
Then I realized – you’d said you’d be out of town
(Ch)
(2) I wonder how much you like me
But I suppose soon enough I’ll see
‘Cause you’ll have to say just how about me you feel
I’m thinking ‘bout you all the time
And for you I would spend my final dime
All my hopes are building up a healthy zeal
(Ch2) (You know,) I like you and you bet I could love you
I want you now give me a chance!
I’ll give you anything in my power
Just let me into your world
Will you just
Just let me into your world
Will you just
Just let me into your world

1) Emotional instability is a virtue
I get along better with people who are
Emotionally unstable
Emotionally unstable
2) Others seems to prefer sanity as a basis
A prerequisite by which to judge their friends
(I like the) Emotionally unstable
Emotionally unstable
They cry a lot, they laugh a lot
They sigh a lot, they talk a lot a lot a lot
They get confused, they blow a fuse
Emotionally unstable
Emotionally unstable
Because they love a lot…
[inst]
They cry a lot, they sigh a lot
They laugh a lot, they talk a lot
They get confused, sometime they blow a fuse
Emotionally unstable
Emotionally unstable
3) Their need of some security is fine with me
You know that I la-la la-la-la like the
Emotionally unstable
(I like the) Emotionally unbalanced
Emotionally unstable
They sob a lot, they scream a lot
Emote a lot, they dream a lot
They’re so high-strung, look what they’ve done
Emotionally unstable

(1) Ever since that call on a Friday in May
I’ve been counting all of the days away
Foreign wasn’t so near
Foreign wasn’t so dear
And Foreign was conservative, of that I wouldn’t hear
And I’ve been Counting the days away
Counting the days
Counting the days to freedom
(2) You know on that Thursday before that Friday
I really wasn’t sure to whom I’d say
The words that meant a lot
The words that spent a lot
And just my luck, I chose the one who wouldn’t give a lot
And I’ve been Counting the days away
Counting the days
Counting the days away
Counting the days to freedom
And now it’s here
And it is clear
That everything will work out
You’d best believe
I’ve tricks up my sleeve
To ensure it will all work out
(3) 5/22 for four hours or so
And I counted to 6/6 to dispense my woe
Then I danced with you
And when the night was done I knew
Cuz Foreign and Misty don’t compare on one thing they do
And I’ve been Counting the days away
Counting the days
Counting the days away
Counting the days
(And I’ve been) counting the days away
Counting the days
Counting the days away
Counting the days to freedom
1) Larry wanted peanuts, he went to the store.
He gave the clerk a quarter, she said they cost some more.
He tried to buy some time, tried to play it cool.
But the smell of roasted peanuts just made Larry drool...
2) So he went out to the corner, to try and earn some dough
Solicited some ladies, but all of them said "No!!!"
He thought he'd found a client, was going to make a sale
But she was undercover, and now Larry's in jail!
SPOKEN: Man, I envy the talent you surround yourself with, Graykin.
CHORUS:
Laaarrrrry! The peeee-nut smuggler!
He woulda been better off as a baby juggler!
Now he shares a loo with Snake, Spike, and Bubba!
Laaarrrrry! He's got smelly feet.
SPOKEN: Bet you didn't expect to come home to THIS!
[Inst]
3) They took him to the big house, they put him in a cell
His cellmate was a WOMAN, she said her name was Mel
Along came Max and Alec, to give the details would be wrong
All Larry wanted was peanuts and he ended up in a song!
4) His cellmates started grumblin', and giving him the eye
It seemed that good old Larry would be saying his goodbyes
But Snake came to his rescue shouting "Homey don't you see?!?"
That dude is Larry Graykin and he sings for MPeace3!
SPOKEN: Can you sing, Marc, or are you just a lyrical genius?
CH – repeat and fade
