See It Through My Eyes
This is an album created from demos recorded by Meredith Brooks in 1984. It was released in 1997 without Meredith's authorization following the success of
Blurring the Edges. These are nice songs,
but they lack the depth and maturity so evident in
Blurring the Edges. The sound is 80's pop,
very different as well. The band on the album was known variously as
"The Movers"
and
"The Suspects."

You're making me sad I guess I needed more than you had And I don't need to run around To see who I am I guess I'll find somebody who can Chorus: Pick it up (Pick it up) Take it for the distance (Pick it up) Well you let me down Pick it up (Pick it up) Help me find the pieces You threw around (repeat) Baby you're a little old For me anyway I guess You only wanted to play And I'm not gonna wait around 'til you understand I guess I'll find somebody who can (Repeat chorus...) Oh Oh Why you gonna make me mad? Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Why you gonna make me sad? Baby don't hang around Can't you understand I guess I'm gonna find somebody who can (Repeat chorus...) |

Are you slummin' around You're looking for some action On the west side of town Your Nassau tan and your skintight pants Come on Johnny, do you wanna dance? Chorus: He, he's got the look He's got the look Me, by hook or crook I'll get that boy tonight He, he's got the look He's got the look Me, he's got me shook I'll get that boy tonight Every girl around Has got her eyes on you Watchin' every breath you take Every move you do With your sun-streaked hair And your Hollywood face Come on Johnny Let's get out of this place (Chorus) Well, don't mind courage Gonna' take my chance Hello Johnny! Wanna new romance? (Repeat chorus) |

You're gonna miss my loving
Music & lyrics by David Perry
|
So I fell in love with you I believed that you were sincere Now you've got me where you wanted me Soon I'm gonna make you see You're gonna miss my loving when it's gone You're gonna miss my loving when it's gone Had to keep a distance apart But you swept me off my feet Now you think you've won my heart So you're taking me for granted now Soon I'll turn the tables around Chorus: You're gonna miss my loving when it's gone (You'll come crying to me) You're gonna miss my loving when it's gone Now you may feel secure And you're as you please But soon you'll be begging on your knees (Repeat chorus) |

See it through my eyes
Music & lyrics by Meredith Brooks
|
And we sleep in separate rooms Wondering what went wrong I know we tried to talk about What it takes to talk things out But we just go on and on Chorus: Baby, if you'd see it just once through my eyes Maybe then we'd have a further chance to survive Oh, baby if you'd see it just once through my eyes I often think about the times The world was yours and mine All the things we should have done And when I see it through your eyes You know I start to cry Please don't let me be the only one (Chorus) Oh, baby can't you see I'm trying to give what you say to me But you know It's a two-way street (Repeat chorus) |

Thunder and lightning
Music & lyrics by Meredith Brooks & William Burns

And the sky is gray I watch the rain fallin' on LA Hey, I'm thinkin' of you I don't know if I've lost or gained But I know I'll never be the same Hey, it's a little like Yeah, just a little like Chorus: Thunder and lightning Thunder and lightning Striking my heart again Thunder and lightning Steamy midnights on the phone You're telling me you're all alone Then you say "I'd like to see you" I hear your voice and I'm hypnotized I don't care if it's truth or lies Hey, it's a little like Yeah, just a little like (Chorus) Oh, is it pleasure or pain Is the thunder just frightening Is this the way love begins When you're kissing me It's like thunder and lightning (Chorus) Thunder and lightning Striking my heart Burning my soul Thunder and lightning |

I hear the telephone ring But I can't break away I'm just ignoring all those things My eyes are glued to my TV You're up there making love to me I fell in love with you I'm watching your love scenes I had to have you every night upon my TV screen I rent your tape again and again I never want this love to end Chorus: Video idol Every night I escape with your video tape You're my video idol Everything will be right When I watch you tonight You're my video idol (video idol) Now there's nobody else I've got you to myself You're my video idol Whooooooooooooooooooooooo My TV comes to life When you come on the screen I keep on watching though I know I'm living in a dream Tonight when all my work is through I'll have my fantasy with you (Repeat chorus) Maybe someday I'm gonna meet you And then our loving will be for real But till then I'll have to pretend About how good How good it would feel (Hey!) (Repeat chorus) Video idol (Whoooooo) |

Oh Jessica Jessica Oh Jessica She walks in and the fighting begins It's the way she is Doesn't matter to her If you value your heart You'll stay away from Jessica And the games that she plays You're a fool If you go with her tonight She'll make everything seem so right Chorus: Jessica, she'll never be the one you waited for She'll only tell you lies and lead you o-on Oh Jessica You've never met a girl like this before You'll never find a place where you belong Oh Jessica Take it from me A woman knows What a woman can do To a man's lonely heart It's the start and the end If you don't stay away from Jessica And the games that she plays You're a fool If you go with her tonight She'll make everything seem so right (Repeat chorus...) |

Company man
Music & lyrics by Robert & William Burns & Robert Miranda
|
Early in the morning While he's getting dressed I get the coffee going Another busy day Always in a hurry Not much time for us But he don't ever worry He's a company man Company man Company man Company man Deadlines to be met Schedules he must follow Conference is tonight Can't wait until tomorrow Need that new report First thing in the morning All work and no play Makes him awful boring Chorus: He's a company man Company man (He don't understand) Company man Company man Money, money, money All you're thinking of Money, money, money Well what about LOVE? Company man... I'm alone at home He's off in the city Need a little time Wonder why he can't see When I don't get love I just start being angry Working day and night What's he tryin' to hand me? Company man (Repeat chorus) |

Can't you see I want you around And baby... I'm not cryin' I'm just dyin' for some touch Chorus: And if you don't give me your attention I'll get attention from somebody else I don't know what your intentions are I have no patience to be put on the shelf Mmm baby You say you love me Then you don't even know if I'm around And baby If you're not lying Then keep trying or I'll be gone (Chorus) Baby, if you show me now There may still be time To change my heart But baby If you don't need me You'll both leave me When your cryin' starts (Repeat chorus) |

Who's fooling who
Music & lyrics by Meredith Brooks
|
You look so good Charisma of a playboy Who made it big in Hollywood The money so fine You're livin' high The women, wine Fly to the parties But you won't be caught Unless you bring a crowd All the friends you bought Cuz you wanna be sure Your smile is seen And your lookins good Chorus: I know I have become much stronger now these days I don't need that kind of love I'm on my way Who-who's fooling who No matter what you think or do Oh, I can see right through So who's fooling who You don't even listen to me When I SHOUT Being at the top Is all that you're concerned about But someday baby You're gonna be meeting me again Got two faces for every move You've done it for so long They all look good on you But it's too late baby You looked in the mirror too long again (Repeat chorus) |
