Fear and Common Sense
All words and music written by Karen Furlong
Been kinda hoping, your eyes are open wide
And you can see the love on my face!
I’ve got a hunger, lately I wonder
How your beautiful skin must taste.
God I wish afar was nearer
God I wish my head was a little clearer
Gotta try and live without you, ‘cause you’ll never know that…
I’m a great kisser, and my love is strong
I crave your beauty bathed in yellow sun
I’m a great listener; I’d rock your world today
But fear and common sense keep standing in the way.
I hate this aching, brought on by waking up
My heart breaks ‘cause your love is just a dream
Why do I hide it, and keep it quiet
When every part of me is screaming to come clean!
I’m a girl who has a lot to offer you
Why can’t I make you feel it too?
Guess you won’t be learning anytime soon that….
I’m a great kisser; I’d show you all night long
I crave your beauty bathed in morning sun
I’m a great listener; I’d rock your world today
But fear and common sense keep standing in the way.
I try and I try to push these thoughts away,
But my God you look so good today!
You look so good today…
What keeps attracting me to all your charms, baby?
I think I’d find out if I was in your arms, that….
You’re a great kisser; I bet I’d never be the same
I bet you’d thrill me again and again and again and again!
All I want is a taste of your love today,
But fear and common sense keep standing in the way
But fear and common sense, they keep….standing in the way.

You Never Do
All words and music written by Karen Furlong
Need to soothe my aching soul, need a little rock and roll
A bit of sun to warm my face
Really should put you out of my mind, learn to relax, unwind
Forget you, free up some headspace
We're not the same religion and prayer seems so obscure
It's kinda disappointing, thought you'd want me back for sure
Here I sit alone thinking about you
I'm in love with you for those things you never do…
You never rub my back or treat me kind
You never notice my devotion
Your heart must be blind, I'm flooded with emotion
I didn't mean to fall so hard, that was very Pisces of me
I want you to love me!
Oh but it's true, you never do
Oh you never do that thing that does me in, invite me over for some sin
You never kiss me, you never miss me
You never come to me late at night, just to see if I'm alright
You never taste me, yeah but you always waste me
Here I sit alone drinking without you
I fade to blue for those things you never do
You never love me back but I suspect
You'd love me back with passion
Lately I've been a wreck, quitting you keeps on lasting
I want to re-direct my heat, you're too cool you always taunt me
I'd love you to want me!
Love is so cruel, I blame it all on you
You could make me happy, baby, but you never do
It's sad but true!
Here I sit with friends surviving without you
I got over you and those things you never DID, yeah
The odds are stacked and I just bet
You'd never treat me like a lady
My eyes aren't even wet you'd only complicate me
I didn't want to hurt so bad, I was true and you deceived me
I need you to leave me!
You never do.

Summer She Goes
All words and music written by Karen Furlong
October sky, shimmer laced with sorrow
The snow will fly, maybe soon as tomorrow
The leaves are gone, now, but they were proud in their passing
You can't go on when you're so tired of lasting
Nothing lasts forever, doesn't make me feel better
It's more than just the weather
Summer she goes, and it breaks my heart every time
Nobody knows how to make her stay and shine
Nobody knows…
So summer she goes.
October sky, shining so bold
Star fire lights up the night but you're diamond cold
You took all my warmth and you stole the smile right from my face
I know I'll find love again in summer's sweet embrace
I have my reasons, you know would
Stop the seasons if I only could, because
Summer she goes, and it breaks my heart every time
Nobody knows how to make her stay and shine
Nobody knows…
So summer she goes.
Guess I should feel lucky, she stayed for a sweet sweet while
I don't feel lucky….she left me underneath this sky
Tried not to cry…
I get by on faith, I know it all means something
It makes me feel safe
Summer she goes, and it breaks my heart every time
Nobody knows how to make her stay and shine
Nobody knows…
So summer she goes.
Summer she goes

Too Easy
All words and music written by Karen Furlong
Way to go, you had to say no…let the games begin baby!
I kind of wanted your body before but now it's driving me crazy
It isn't easy on me…
Can't you see that I'm just not right, I can't seem to find my pride
I really want to say no out of spite but I run right back to your side
It isn't easy on me…
But you could have put your hands on me and left them there all day
I can't do this halfway thing 'cause I go all the way!
I bet you feel as good as you smell
And I know you could have pleased me
I gravitate to you so I guess that you can tell
When you let me down, you let me down too easy
I must not be your kind of girl, well maybe I shouldn't have thrown it at you
I can make your toes curl but that kind of thing must not attract you
It still isn't easy on me…
You could have passed all the bases and slid straight for home
My body says you're worth waiting for but I gotta leave you alone yeah
Not my body, but my mind I must obey
And your sweet goodbyes, well they just tease me
I'm not the kind of girl that just gives it all away
When I gave it to you, I gave it up too easy
I agreed with you when you said to me that day…
"It's worth waiting for, I guess, if it's not too easy"
It hasn't been too easy
