Mr. Jones by Counting Crows

(Sha la la la la la la..... hmm, uh huh...)
I was down at the New Amsterdam
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. (1)__________ (2)______________ up a conversation
With a black-haired
Flamenco dancer
She dances while his father plays
Guitar
She's (3)________________ beautiful
We all want (4)__________________ beautiful
Man I wish I was beautiful
So come dance (5)________ silence (6)________ (7)______________ the mornin'
(Sha la la la la la la la yeah.. uh huh, yeah...)
Cut up, Maria!
Show me some of that Spanish dancin'
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
'Cause I (8)__________ be someone
Who believes, yeah...
Mr. Jones and me
Tell (9)________ other (10)__________ (11)__________ and we
Stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's (12)______________ at me."
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming (13)______________ in stereo
When everybody loves you
You can (14)__________ be lonely
Well, I'm gonna paint my picture
Paint (15)____________ in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
Yeah, well, you know gray is my (16)________________ color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso

Mr. Jones and me look into the future
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
"She's (19)______________ at you. I don't think so. She's looking at me."
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a gray guitar
When everybody loves me
I'll (20)__________ be lonely
I'll never be lonely
Son, I'm never (21)__________ be LONELY
I wanna be a lion
E-Everybody wants to pass as cats
We all wanna be big big stars, yeah, but
We've got different reasons for that
Believe in me
'Cause I don't believe in anything
And I, I wanna be someone
To believe, to believe, to believe, yeah
Mr. Jones and me
Stumbling through the barrio
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
"She's (22)______________ for you
Man, there's got to be somebody for me."
