Hello Mary Beth, this is Brian calling
I'm your Composer Quest partner and my request
is to write a pop song in the key of F
So pick up the phone, punch in my digits
We gotta write verses and bridges
Verses and bridges and a chorus too
I really can't wait to talk to you
Pick up the phone, we gotta write
Verses and bridges and an interlude
Hello Mary Beth, Brian again, I was thinking
What if during the bridge the words stop and instead
You play a solo on clarinet?
Just pick up the phone, punch in my digits
We gotta write verses and bridges
Verses and bridges here's what to do
635 263 9832
And we can decide what we're gonna do
Just pick up the phone, punch in my digits
We gotta write verses and bridges
Verses and bridges and a chorus too
I really can't wait to talk to you
Just pick up the phone, punch in my digits
We gotta write verses and bridges
Verses and bridges here's what to do

Verse
Hey you, what are you trying to say?
Everything is coming out the wrong way
You keep using words you can't define
We got to find a way to make our thoughts align
---
Verse
Hey you, are you even hearing me?
Just shut up long enough to listen
Open your ears, open your brain
Do we push through it, or start over again?
---
Chorus
Ooh-ooh, I'm trying so hard to find
Ooh-ooh, my own piece o' mind
Ooh-ooh, doing all I can
Whoa-oh, but it's a dog-eat-dog world

You say, don't forget about me
You say, don't move on without me
What about what I say
What about what I say
Talk is cheap anyway
Talk is cheap anyway
You know days are growing longer
You know I am growing stronger
What about how I feel
What about how I feel
I'm just letting time heal
I'm just letting time heal
All the talking in the world
Won't make me any more your girl
But I want you to know
That however this goes,
We'll be alright
But no matter what you say
I know that things will never change
I think it's time that you surrender
'Cause you know that you'll never get this right
So let's just both shut up tonight
How long can we keep pretending
That all we've worked for isn't ending
What about what I say
What about what I say
Talk is cheap anyway
Talk is cheap anyway
But no matter what you say
I know that things will never change
I think it's time that you surrender
'Cause you know that you'll never get this right
So let's just both shut up tonight

Lately I've been waking up at three AM in the morning, and listening to the whining down the road.
The pavement's still wet from last evening's storm, and for a while I'm glad to be alone.
It's three AM in the morning calling
I'd go outside but the rain's still falling
Early mornin' in my soul.
Lately I've been thinking, "Every woman that I've known,
I tell you now that it ain't been that fun.
And closing off my mind ain't no easy thing to do,
And don't I know I ain't the only one."
It's three AM in the morning calling
I'd go outside but the rain's still falling
Early mornin' in my soul.
There's something 'bout that early morning rain
That feels alright.
Something 'bout that moment 'fore the dawn,
and the darkness of the night.
It's three AM in the morning calling
I'd go outside but the rain's still falling
Early mornin' in my soul.

Charlie:
I'm a gambler
But I want to see the air
Then I'll believe it's there
And risk a breath
'Cause I know you
At least I think I do
Soon as you draw me in
You breathe me out
Molly and Charlie:
Love is a fickle thing you say
And it pulls and turns and twists and tugs 'til we're tangled and tamed
We've tied an ugly knot that tightens as we pull ourselves away
Molly:
Like a warm breeze
Why don't you float to me?
Gently and easily
I'll take you back
Cause I know you
At least I think I do
I see the starry-eyed
Flicker in your smile
Molly and Charlie:
Love is a fickle thing you say
And it pulls and turns and twists and tugs 'til we're tangled and tamed
We've tied an ugly knot that tightens as we pull ourselves away
Charlie:
I must be older
A grown man with his arm
Around your shoulder
But I know you see
The young boy playing games
Inside of me
Molly:
You think I'm a woman
But I feel like a little girl
And I want it that way
We're not getting younger
So darling, let me shake you loose
From your serious shoes
And love you like I want to
Charlie: Love is a fickle thing
Molly: Love you like I want to
Charlie: And it pulls and turns and twists and tugs
Molly: Love me like you want to
Charlie: 'Til we're tangled and tamed
Molly: Love you like I want to
Charlie: Tangled and tamed
Molly: Love me like you want to
etc.

Verse 1: Today will be a better day than yesterday
everytime I come around you're always quick to push me away
you don't believe me when I say that I love you
Chorus: I love you, I love you, I love you
Verse 2: Today will be a better day than yesterday
everytime I see your face, your smile drives me troubles away
you don't believe me when I say that I love you
