Mr. Jones by Counting Crows

(Sha la la la la la la..... hmm, uh huh...)
I was (1)________ at the New Amsterdam
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black-haired
Flamenco dancer
She (2)____________ while his father plays
Guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
We all (3)________ something beautiful
Man I wish I was beautiful
So come dance this (4)______________ down through 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 (5)______________ in anything
'Cause I wanna be someone
Who believes, yeah...
Mr. Jones and me
Tell each (6)__________ fairy tales and we
Stare at the (7)__________________ women
"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's (8)______________ at me."
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When (9)__________________ loves you
You can never be lonely
Well, I'm gonna (10)__________ my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
Yeah, well, you know gray is my (11)________________ color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
Mr. Jones and me look into the future
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you. I don't (12)__________ so. She's looking at me."
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a gray guitar
When everybody loves me
I'll (13)__________ be lonely
I'll (14)__________ be lonely
Son, I'm never gonna be LONELY
I wanna be a lion
E-Everybody (15)__________ 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 (16)__________________ women
"She's (17)______________ for you
Man, there's got to be somebody for me."

When everybody loves you
Oh, son, that's just' bout as funky as you can be
Mr. Jones and me
Staring at the video
When I look at the television
I wanna see me staring right back at me
We all wanna be big stars
But we don't know why
And we don't know how
But when (23)__________________ loves me
I'll be just' bout as happy as I could be
Mr. (24)__________ and me
We're (25)__________ be big stars
