I'm beggin' forgiveness
But it's gonna take a miracle
'Cos I've been lyin'
She don't wanna know and I think it's impossible

Said open up woman
I know that you're sad and lonely
If I could hold you
We could make it again

Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned
Open up woman
Give me a chance

No more lyin'
No more secrets
If I could make you
I would take you away and cover up your sadness
I keep sayin' open up woman
But you don't wanna hear my promise
If I can't have you
Then I don't need a heart

Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned
Open up woman
And give me a chance

Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned

Livin' in silence
Of my own makin'
Though she won't show me
I know that her heart and soul are achin'

Open up woman
I know that you're lost and let down
I'm gonna keep tryin'
'Stead of losin' again

Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned

Open up woman
And give me a chance

Open up woman
Open up woman

I took a walk around the world to
ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
in the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark
side of the moon
I feel there's nothing I can do, yeah

I watched the world float to the
dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something
to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still
call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
there holdin' my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
my superhuman might
Kryptonite

You called me strong, you called me weak ]
but still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I
never let you down

I'm standing here looking in the mirror
Saying "damn" to myself
I should have known the day would come
That she would find somebody else
And all the things I took her through
####, I shouldn't have lasted this long
Now I'm at this telephone booth calling Tyrone

1 - Cuz when a woman's fed up
(No matter how you beg, no)
It ain't nothing you can do about it
(Nothing you can do about it)
It's like running out of love
(No matter what you say, no)
And then it's too late to talk about it
(Too late to talk about it)

Now let's talk about how it all goes down
I used to make love to you daily
When the night fell the same
And anytime that you were hurt
I could feel your pain
And if I had a dollar
It was yours, yeah
And whenever we would go out
I would front the bill
But now the up is down
And the silence is sound
I hurt you too too many times
Now I can't come around

Repeat 1

La da da da da la la da da
La da da da da la la da da
If you don't want to find out the hard way
Then listen to this song while the record plays

Repeat 1

You can cry a river
'Till an ocean starts to form, yeah
But she will always remember
Cuz she's a woman scorned
And if you ever get her back
It will never be the same
She's cuttin' the corners of her eyes
Every time she see your face
Now your trust is out the door
She don't want you no more
You used to tell your boys, not me
And she would always be there for you
If you had took the time to see
What that woman meant to you
Is what the mirror said to me, whoa
She was raised in Illinois
Right outside of Chicago
Some of the best cookin' you ever had
Yes, it was and I miss her
Hey woman, if you're listening
I said I miss you baby

Each morning I prayed
My mirror displayed my disgrace
From the anger, bruised upon my face
Dragged through the halls
Your cycle reborn
Lose your grip on life
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Relive your nightmares through us
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Unleash your pain and punish us
Reach out to you, you raise your iron fist
Betrayed, not raised, dismissed!
Your loveless life, no heart warming twist
Neglect, your deflect! Forced to shy away
Dragged, we will fall
Corruption reborn
Lost your grip on life
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Relive your nightmares through us
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Unleash your pain and punish us
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Dismantle what's laid before you
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Drive us insane and banish us

Trivia Question: Who wrote this song?....It's cheating if you look it up on the net.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way -
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And ev'rymother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
and so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although its been said many times,
Many ways: "Merry Christmas to you".
(Repeat) (from 9th line)

If you search for tenderness
it isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live.
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can always find someone
to say they sympathize.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can find a lover.
I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end.
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again.
I know, I know.

When I'm deep inside of me
don't be too concerned.
I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone.
But when I want sincerity
tell me where else can I turn.
Because you're the one I depend upon.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I met you on somebody's island
You thought you had known me before
I brought you a crate of papaya
They waited all night by your door
You probably wouldn't remember
I probably couldn't forget
Jungle love in the surf in the pouring rain
Everything's better when wet

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

But lately you live in the jungle
I never see you alone
But we need some definite answers
So I thought I would write you a poem
The question to everyone's answer
Is usually asked from within
But the patterns of the rain
And the truth they contain
Have written my life on your skin

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

You treat me like I was your ocean
You swim in my blood when it's warm
My cycles of circular motion
Protect you and keep you from harm
You live in a world of illusion
Where everything's peaches and cream
We all face a scarlet conclusion
But we spend our time in a dream

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

kiss the dream good-bye,
separation leaves a taste so bitter sweet
and for years you have clawed away at my flesh,
yet I still long to hear your voice and set my eyes upon you face
so I may bash it to pieces and laugh as the ravens pick away at the fragments.
the shadows they still haunt me
and your self pity is sickening when you are to blame for the love lost.
your self pity is sickening. you're to blame,
for all the love you've lost and the contempt that consumes your life.
you're to blame. so now you may kiss this dream good-bye.
for all my hopes and wishes are for this earth
to be drenched in your blood as it pours from the sky,
the clouds spraying like a lacerated artery,
I will marvel at it's sheer beauty.
for years you have clawed away at my flesh
yet I still long to hear your voice only now do I see,
my hatred will never cease.
and you will never claw away at my flesh.
never again

Wrong....
Mel Torme and Robert Walls

But chords by Earle Warren Zaidins inspired Mel Torme in the writing of the song.

Points to you for the obsure bit of trivia.

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man
And she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the nice anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She rushes to his arms,
They fall together
She whispers that it's only for awhile
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide you lyin' eyes

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool

My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
