Intro: G-Bm-Em-D-G-Bm-Em-D-G

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did, You fell so hard
I’ve learned the hard way To never let it get that far

Chorus

Because of you, I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you, I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you, I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid

I lose my way and it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry, because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake a smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can’t possibly break, when it wasn’t even whole to start with

Repeat Chorus

I watched you die, I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young, you should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else, you just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night for the same damn thing

Repeat Chorus

Because of you
Because of you

(Chorus) I don’t want your lovin’ any more.
I don’t want your kisses that’s for sure.
I die each time, I hear them say, they say,
Here he comes, he’s Cathy’s Clown.
C F C F ETC.
(1st Verse) You know I gotta stand tall. You know I can’t crawl.
And when I let her tell me lies, and I let them pass me by,
I’m not a man at all.

(Chorus) I don’t want your lovin’ any more.
I don’t want your kisses that’s for sure.
Why do I let them put me down,
And let ‘em call me Cathy’s Clown?
C F C F ETC.
(2nd V) When I see you shed a tear, then I’ll know that you’re sincere.
I just think it’s kinda sad that you’re treated me so bad,
And you don’t even care.

(Chorus) I don’t want your lovin’ any more.
I don’t want your Kisses that’s for sure.
I die each time, I hear them say, they’re
Sayin’, here he comes, he’s Cathy’s Clown.
He’s Cathy’s Clown, He’s Cathy’s Clown.

Album – Merry Christmas To You

A (Spoken)
Now kids hang on just a second before we start. You know
there’s a reason we are all here in front of Grandma and
Grandpa’s Christmas tree. And if Trevor and E.P. would
quit fighting long enough and be real quiet, This little
song might help you all understand

Long ago in a stable there was a baby being born
His parents were Joseph and Mary
And Joseph’s big ole heart was torn
Cause he couldn’t find a decent place for Mary to have her child
But Mary said it just seemed just right and she blessed it with her smile

Cause what made it special was the baby in her arms
God sent him down to give the world a second chance for you and I
That’s why we have Christmas at this time each year
It’s the baby’s birthday party that brings us so much cheer

A (Spoken)
Now kids the presents that all of you exchange on Christmas, represents
the gifts that baby Jesus received the night he was born. He got all his
presents from three wise men, who followed a star and walked a long long
way to the stable. So everytime you tear open one of your presents, think
about that baby and say Happy birthday Jesus, I’ll open this one for you.

Cause what made it special was the baby in her arms
God sent him down to give the world a second chance for you and I
That’s why we have Christmas at this time each year
It’s the baby’s birthday party that brings us so much cheer

OK all together now, Happy Birthday Jesus
I’ll open this one just for you
