Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone
I'm a-goin' home
My baby just a-wrote me a letter

I don't care how much money I gotta spend
Got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone
I'm a-goin' home
My baby just a-wrote me a letter

Well, she wrote me a letter, said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister, can't you see I got to get back to my baby once more?
Anyway, yeah

Baby oh baby
Tell the man at the ticket stand that you've changed your mind
Well let me run on out and tell the cab to keep his meter flying
Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind

Baby oh baby
Well let me take your suitcase off of that scale in time
Just tell the man that you suddenly developed a thing about high flying
Cause if you say goodbye to me you know you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind

Break my mind

Everything I am, I am because of you
And everything I do, girl I do it just for you
You stand by me when the times are rough
How can I ever thank you enough
Everything I am, darling I am because of you

Got my feet on the ground, you found some good in me
Everything I am, is what you mean to me
I could'nt have made it without you girl
Can I ever thank you girl, thank you girl
'Cause everything I am, I am because of you

Everything I am, I am because of you
Everything I am, I am because of you

The city lights, the pretty lights
They can warm the coldest nights
All the people going places
Smiling with electric faces
What they find, the glow erases
And what they lose, the glow replaces

And life is love
In a neon rainbow
A neon rainbow

Moving lines, flashing signs
Blinking faster than the minds
Leading people with suggestions
Leaving no unanswered questions
You can live without direction
And it don't have to be perfection

And life is love
In a neon rainbow
A neon rainbow

But in the daytime, everything changes
Nothing remains the same
No one smiles anymore
And no one will open his door until the night time comes

And then the city lights, the pretty lights
They can warm the coldest nights
All the people going places
Smiling with the electric faces
What they find, the glow erases
And what they lose, the glow replaces

And life is love
In a neon rainbow
A neon rainbow
A neon rainbow

People...
(’round and ’round and around...)
People make the world go ’round
(’round and ’round and around...)

Teachers on strike, no more school today
They want more money but the board won’t pay
People
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout ecology
The air’s so polluted that it’s hard to breathe
People

But that’s what makes the world go round
The ups and downs a carousel
Changing people’s heads around
Go underground young men...
People make the world go round...

Old folks judge you by the clothes you wear
They’d swear you’re a hippy if you have long hair
Young politicians fight for poverty
While people still cry for equality

But that’s what makes the world go round
The ups and downs a carousel
Changing people’s heads around
Go underground young men...
People make the world go round...

But that’s what makes the world go round
The ups and downs a carousel
Changing people’s heads around
Go underground young men...
People make the world go round...

Pull the string and I'll wink at you, I'm your puppet
I'll do funny things if you want me to, I'm your puppet

I'll be yours to have and to hold
Darling you've got full control of your puppet

Pull another string and I'll kiss your lips, I'm your puppet
Snap your finger and I'll turn you some flips, I'm your puppet

Your every wish is my command
All you gotta do is wiggle your little hand
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet

I'm just a toy, just a funny boy
That makes you laugh when you're blue
I'll be wonderful, do just what I'm told
I'll do anything for you
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet

Pull them little strings and I'll sing you a song, I'm your puppet
Make me do right or make me do wrong, I'm your puppet

Treat me good and I'll do anything
I'm just a puppet an you hold my string, I'm your puppet
Yeah, I'm your puppet

Walking, talking, living, loving puppet
I'm hanging on a string girl, I'll do anything now

I'm a walking, talking, living, loving puppet, and I love you

I'm a smiling happy face when you want me to
Even make you happy when you're feeling blue

…Times!
All those happy times,
…Times!
Days of summer love,
…Times!
that I held your hand, and the world stood still. Uh-huh…

…Times!
Those happy times,
…Times!
Down by the riverside,
…Times!
We were making love and listening to the birdies sing. Uh-huh…

Now, I'm all alone;
Happy times are gone,

Gone just like the season
Winter's on the ground,
And my heart is cold;
You left me without reason

…Times!
Those happy times,
…Times!
Down by the riverside,
…Times!
We were making love and listening to the birdies sing. Uh-huh…

…Times!
All those happy times,
…Times!
Days of summer love,
…Times!
that I held your hand, and the world stood still. Uh-huh…

…Times!
Happy, happy times…
…Times!
All those happy times…
…Times!
O-o-o…

I pray for rain
I pray for rain
Picnic basket
Filled with goodies
For you and your new love
To have dinner on the ground

Oh ohh
I pray for rain
I pray for rain
If it rains
It won't be groovy
For you and your new love
To share the new love that you've found

Oh ohh
I pray for rain
I pray for rain

Rainy season
Setting in
On you and your new love
I'll be seeing you again
I pray for rain
I pray for rain
