"More and More"

There was a time we thought
Money grew on trees.
That we could do with it
Exactly what we pleased.
We never looked ahead
Just living for today
To me it seems, we believed
We'd never have to pay.
Correct me if I'm wrong
But listen to me please
It's our demands,
For more and more
That brought this country
To its knees.
I can't help but hear
What their all gonna do
years gone by, I was asking
For the store, always
Wanting more and more
So, I, am guilty too.

"Love You"

When you're down and you think
I don't love you
As much as I used to,
Be assured ever since the day
I asked you to be mine,
My love for you
Has stood the test of time.
So smile, don't frown,
For I will never let you down.
I told you once,
Now I'll tell you twice
That I shall love you all my life.
Because my love is such
Just like my pen,
It will only run out
At the very end.
For nothing gets to me as much
As when you're close to me enough
That I can feel the joy
The shivers send.

"Just Like Bonnie and Clyde"

A long time ago we lived on the wild side
Always thinking that life was too slow
Until one day we decided
Marriage for us, was the way we should go
Side by side constantly biding our time
partners forever
Just like Bonnie and Clyde.

More and more everyday we cheated and lied
For them three years on a rampage
For us a stalemate
Our wedding vows shot, just like Bonnie and Clyde.

Always fearless and wild they swore
That they would never, be taken alive
Soon the officers found it would take
One hundred plus rounds
And in ambush would hide
To bring down the infamous Bonnie and Clyde.

We too tried to hide but then came the day
We knew our vows were destined
To fall by the way, hard as we tried
Just like the infamous Bonnie and Clyde.
