The Raspberries - Go All The Way

Written by David Cook. Produced by David Cook. Mixed by Jeff Juliano.

Well, last year I got everything that a man could really need
Found a Quattroporte S Maserati sitting under my tree
And I've got Breitings, Panerais, and a couple nice IWCs 
No, you can't buy time, but I like my accessories

But you don't really care about all my stuff or what I wear
You hate the material decay of this fake commercial holiday
So I'll box up everything, give it away, that's what I'll do
'Cause I don't want nothing, baby, if I can't have you

Well, today I'm feeling down, and much like Charlie Brown
I'm trying to figure out what it means
Sipping on some cheap red wine that was bottled back in '73
I've got a closet full of Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana
Versace and Givenchy, but I won't wear Prada, nah
Paid a pretty penny and Santa's always good to me

If I could buy your love would it come with second chances
And cash is king, I suppose, but you can't put a price tag on snow
So I'll take my Christmas list, rip it all up 'cause I'm over this
The only thing I want is, the only thing I want is you

can't help falling in love with you (cover)

Two star crossed lovers, separated by a great distance are only moments away from finally meeting in the flesh.

Some days I think I’ve had enough
Running away, it’s not what it was
Think I’m tired of hearing, hearing ‘bout love
Closing the door, don’t open it up

But then you pick me back up again
Show me you’re my best friend
I’m looking around
But maybe I’ve already found it

All I have to do is think about it
What I would ever do if I were left without it
And when I’m on my own and I can’t hold you close
I’m reminded

When you can’t keep track and lose all your things
It makes me so mad, I start to get mean
And you just found out there’s somewhere else you’re s’posed to be
We’re changing the plan, you frustrate me

But now you’re picking me up again
Makes it feel new again
We’re rushing around
Forget what we’ve found is the brightest

All I have to do is think about it
What I would ever do if I were left without it
And when - I’m on my own and I can’t hold you close
I’m reminded
All I have to do is think of you
And suddenly I realize it’s true
I’ve got what I need and sometimes I don’t see, but...
I think I need to keep you around

All of the days I could yell in your face
Instead I drop a hint that I know you won’t trace
And so I was away, then I call you back up
Because I guess I really need you that much

All I have to do is think about it
What I would ever do if I were left without it
I’m on my own and I can’t hold you close
I’m reminded
All I have to do is think of you
And suddenly I realize it’s true
I’ve got what I need and sometimes I don’t see, but...
I think I need to keep you around

Hi Everyone! My name is Mark and music is my passion. I thank God for the gift of music and the ability to play/sing. I’m pursuing my dream of music while raising family and working full-time. God blessed me with the most amazing wife and 3 kids currently. I’m an independent artist/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist currently working on tons of original music. God loves each of you!
