LEOPARD

LEOPARD CAN'T CHANGE HIS SPOTS
AND A TIGER IS STUCK WITH STRIPES
AND I AM I AM I AS I CAN BE
AND YOU ARE YOU STRAIGHT THROUGH
AND THE SUM OF THE PARTS
CAN BE DIFFICULT SOME OF THE TIME

LAY YOUR TROUBLES DOWN BY MINE
GIVE UP THE MISERY OF THIS OLD FIGHT
AND LAY YOUR BODY DOWN BESIDE
LET'S MAKE A MIRACLE TONIGHT

WATER WON'T RUN UPHILL
AND AN OLD DOG YOU CAN'T TEACH TRICKS
AS WE FALL INTO THE LOGIC OF A DREAM
AND SAY THE HURTING WORDS THAT WE CAN'T MEAN
THIS HAS TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE'S DREAM
WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP ON DREAMING IT

LAY YOUR TROUBLES....

I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY WE KEEP ON KEEP ON DRAGGING IT
ROUND AND ROUND
BUT IF WE DON'T BUILD IT UP SOMETIME
IT'S GONNA COME CRASHING DOWN

SO LAY YOUR TROUBLES....LET'S MAKE A MIRACLE TONIGHT

LEOPARD CAN'T CHANGE HIS SPOTS
