my home town I feel out of place Changed my name, I'll find a different face - you tell me No more cool Mr. Wonderful, no more nice Mr. Clean No more cool Mr. Ideal, it's drivin' me out of my mind, yeah I can hear the wolves outside the bar, sometimes I don't know which one you are Imitation's all that you accept, shadows of myself that you once met Bottles in the alley break and smash Get into the car for one car crash - you tell me No more cool Mr. Wonderful, no more nice Mr. Clean No more cool Mr. Ideal, it's drivin' me down, drivin' me down to my knees (Solo) No more cool Mr. Wonderful, no more nice Mr. Clean No more cool Mr. Ideal, it's drivin' me down to my knees Mr. Wonderful, no more nice Mr. Clean No more cool Mr. Ideal, it's drivin' me out of my mind No more cool Mr. Wonderful,

distant, then I knew, you'd seen it all It was then that you betrayed me, 'cos I could see right through your gaze I guess you and I (baby) have seen much better days You used to be so taken with the last isle of the King Now you find love's everything You're going to the top, you found somebody special Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well You could've been somebody, a contender I guess that chance just passed you by Now you can't remember who to trust, but I sure wish that you'd try And nothing gets you nothing, and you get back what you give You can't hold out much longer, it's time for you to live You used to be so taken with the last isle of the King Now you find love's everything You're going to the top, you found somebody special Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, yeah You're going to the top, you're falling up to heaven And now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, yeah Good things are gonna find you, though somebody's got to pay You could always turn your back and walk, but I sure wish that you'd stay (Solo) You're going to the top, you found somebody special Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, these days You're going to the top, you're falling up to heaven And your heart ain't gonna stop, and you know I wish you well, these days You're going to the top, you found somebody special And your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, these days You're going to the top, and now you're someone special And I still think of you a lot, and you know I

Temptation's gonna come into our lives, gonna break up our happy home Temptation, me and you are going through it And we should know better, to leave that thing alone You always seem to be distracted, just like your mind is somewhere else If you don't wanna be alone with some strange guy You're gonna wind up on the shelf, yeah (chorus) (Solo) Temptation's gonna come into our lives, gonna break up our happy home Temptation, me and you are going through it And we should know better, yeah yeah (repeats 2x) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: BE MY
