Permanent Frown (copyright Bobby Fay 1997)
I’m wearing a permanent frown.
I had it burned and tattooed to my heart.
I’m holding on to a dozen dead roses.
I had delivered to myself.
I was as happy as could be.
You were the only one for me.
Now see what you’ve done to me.
You left me ‘lone in misery.
I’ve become the neighborhood clown.
I took the part and I play it oh so well.
I’m swimming in the deepest of blue oceans.
I carved out a long, long time ago.
My frown’s the only thing I have.
To remind me of you.
This frown’s the only thing I have.
That’s still a part of you.
Take my blues away.
I’m wearing a sharp thorny crown.
I had it made.
And I wear it oh so proud.
I wanted to maybe marry you.
I’ll never ever remove this permanent frown.
I’m holding on to a dozen dead roses.
I killed all by my lonesome self.
Permanent frown.

Goodbye Cruel World (copyright Bobby Fay 2000)
I’ve been trying.
For you to notice.
This love I have for you.
Your stupid smile.
Your selfish beauty.
What am I to do?
What do your friends say about me?
Are they on my side?
I don’t care.
What does it matter?
They’re all freaks anyway.
And I say.
Goodbye everybody.
Goodbye cruel, cruel world.
I’m so tired everybody.
So tired.
So tired of this cruel, cruel world.
I’ve been stinking.
Like Johnny Walker.
Ever since I met you.
And I’ve been listening to Sticky Fingers.
Just to get my mind off of you.
I got friends.
They give me warning.
About people like you.
I don’t care.
‘Cuz I’m a gambler.
I’ll take my chances on you.
Goodbye cruel world.
Goodbye cruel world.
My tiny world.
Revolves around you.
It’s pretty sad but true.
Broke up the band.
So you would notice.
The pain you put me thru.
Who needs friends?
When you can have me.
They don’t love you like I do.
I don’t care.
‘Cuz I’m a dancer.
And I can keep up with you.
Goodbye cruel world.

Everything Reminds Me Of You (copyright Bobby Fay 1999)
I’ve been lately.
Thinking ‘bout you.
Mostly ‘bout.
The things we used to do.
I went by.
That old man’s record store.
I picked up.
That song you used to love.
I’ve been staring.
Down at my coffee.
The color black.
Reminds me of you.
Everything.
Reminds me of you.
Everyone’s.
Just a memory of you.
I walk the streets.
On a hot hazy day.
My heart goes numb.
Every time.
I say your name.
I try to recapture.
Your every move.
I try to remember.
Every word.
You used to say.
I’ve been drinking.
A cheap bottle of wine.
The emptiness.
Reminds me of you.
I’ve been thinking about you.
Are you missing me too?
I find myself.
Alone a lot.
I guess I’m blind.
To what I’ve got.
I woke up.
In a pool of cold sweat.
Every day.
Is easy.
To forget.
I’ve been sleeping.
Each day until noon.
The wasted hours.
Remind me.
Of you.

See My Girlfriend (copyright Bobby Fay 2003)
See my girlfriend as she’s walking down the street.
She’s so pretty and she means so much to me.
I watch her as she walks into my favorite bar.
She’s looking for me because she thinks I am a star.
See my girlfriend.
She’s a big star.
See my girlfriend.
Walking right past me.
