Lyrics:

Let’s Talk About It
© 2002 Gary Randman


[Verse 1]
It’s been a long hard workday
Won’t you give me a break
Boss wants me to design
A new product line

I work all day
and I come home late
and I’m weak and tired

Now you start complaining
That I don’t give a damn
You think love is fading
And I don’t understand

[Chorus]
Let's talk about it
Talk about it
Don’t let the good times fade away

[Verse 2]
We used to kid and laugh a lot
Spend our time just kissing
Hours would pass us by
We just keep on loving

The times were good
and we thought they would
Always last forever

Now you say you’re leaving
Cause I’m bringing you down
There’s no use persuading
Can’t save the love we found

[Chorus]
Let's talk about it
Talk about it
Don’t let the good times fade away

[Verse 3]
Want things to get better
Want life the way it was
Please don’t give in easy
Let's try to work it out

[Chorus]
Let's talk about it
Talk about it
Don’t let the good times fade away

Let's Talk About It (Demo)

About a hopeless romantic who had to end his relationship with his Chinese girlfriend after there was pressure from her family.


Lyrics:

China Girl        (c) 2024  Gary Randman

[Verse 1]
Everyday
Time grows longer
And I'm alone
Left to wonder
Where you are
How you feel tonight

When we met
We discovered
A force that would
Pull us closer
A common bond
Keeping our love strong

I would dream
Us forever
But our fate changed
Now it's never
Still can hear
Forbidden love

[Chorus]
I'm just a liar
A secret admirer
A Fool who believes In the destiny
When two hearts meet
China girl , China girl

[Verse 2]
We would laugh
When together
And we'd stand by
For each other
Two hearts free
In a paradise

Then our love
Met resistance
And they would say
Keep your distance
They couldn't see
Just two human beings

Then you came
Cried I'm sorry
I wiped your tears
Said don't worry
Left to pretend
I Understand

[Chorus]
I'm just a dreamer
A Secret deceiver
A Hopeless romantic who's time has come
To say goodbye
China girl, China girl

[Outro]
I'm just a liar
A secret admirer
A Fool who believes
In the destiny
When two hearts meet
But Our love Was Bound
By the difference allowed
So I'm here on my own wondering why with
My thoughts unspoken
Heart left broken

A cold winter night
And I'm feeling uptight
And I wish you were here
By my side forever
Now it's never
So we're apart
And I'm looking to start
My way back down that road
But I know that I
wish I told you
I still loved you
China girl, China girl, China Girl

China Girl  [Demo]
