Love has shaken me, sometimes mistaken me
This time it's making me hide
Love has told on me then got a hold on me
Followed my heart to my pride

But something's been making me blue
And somehow I can't talk it over with you
Something's been making me sad
Something I'm missing that I never had
And I know what's making me blue
Is losing you

Love was a game you played, a mistake I made
Never found it on time
I thought love was alive again, then it died again
Leavin' me wondering why

But something's ben making me blue
And somehow I can't talk it over with you
Something's been making me sad
Something I'm missing that I never had
And I know what's making me blue
Is losing you

What is this feeling
that keeps you revealing your pride
Why don't you listen
you can't reminisce on the times
that she loved you and lied

I know, but love was so real to me
how does it feel to be Tellin' yourself it's a lie
But now love's got me wondering
got me fumbling, Got me stumbling by

But something's ben making me blue
And somehow I can't talk it over with you
Something's been making me sad
Something I'm missing that I never had
And I know what's making me blue
Is losing you

Don't talk to me of shattered dreams,
Of course you don't know what it means,
To live for someone else, you can't just take,
And when you're bitten by the truth,
You blame it on your mis-spent youth,
You never seem to learn by your mistakes.

So don't talk to me of wild wild angels,
Wild wild angels on the skyways,
Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life,
'Cos it's people like you who never knew,
What wild wild angels have to face.

And I ain't hangin' round to see,
You turn on someone else like me,
I'm still alive and you know the way I live,
But baby that's one way you'll never be,
Such simple things you fail to see,
You take back everything you ever give.

So don't talk to me of wild wild angels,
Wild wild angels on the skyways,
Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life,
'Cos it's people like you who never knew,
What wild wild angels have to face.

So don't talk to me of wild wild angels,
Wild wild angels on the skyways,
Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life,
'Cos it's people like you who never knew,
What wild wild angels have to face.

So don't talk to me of wild wild angels,
Wild wild angels on the skyways,
Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life,
'Cos it's people like you who never knew,
What wild wild angels have to face

I met a girl in L.A. and she seemed alright to me,
She said she'd give me loving and she said it would be free,
She told me she would call me or leave a message at the door,
And left me wondering what I was in for.

By the next time that I saw her I had clean forgot her name
And without her fancy make-up she just didn't look the same,
So I totally ignored her and she sadly turned away,
And through sympathy I told her she could stay.

Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
No one wants your love at all,
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
Now you're heading for a fall,
And you really think your're something,
you know all the things to do
But poor lady, just a baby,
There's a hundred more like you.

Now for two weeks more she was at my door,
She would stay with me for days,
As a lover she was frightening in so many different ways,
But when it came to conversation she was totally absurd,
Oh she'd sit for hours and never say a word.

Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
No one wants your love at all,
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
Now you're heading for a fall,
And you really think your're something,
you know all the things to do
But poor lady, just a baby,
There's a hundred more like you.

She spends her days in different ways, still trying to be hip,
And at night she'll find she'll lose her mind, at a club along the strip,
When her money goes she always knows she got something she can sell,
It's the one thing that she really can do well.

Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
No one wants your love at all,
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
Now you're heading for a fall,
And you really think your're something,
you know all the things to do
But poor lady, just a baby,
There's a hundred more like you.

When the night has fallen
And the moon is high
And you get that far away look in your eyes
Oh can`t you see you`re acting like a stranger

When you loving feelings are sohard to find
And you can deceive me with your made-up lines
Lord knows you sound just like a stranger

So just in case you`ve changed your mind
You`ve got love if you want it and it can`t be wrong
And just in case you find the time
You`ve got love if you need it and it can`t be wrong

But stranger you`re in danger of losing me
Oh stranger you`re in danger of losing me

When the wind is howling and the rain comes down
And you lie awake without a sound
Feel like I`m living with a stranger

When I try to hold you and you turn away
There seems so little left for me to say
Oh lord knows you look just like a stranger

So just in case you`ve changed your mind
You`ve got love if you want it and it can`t go wrong
And just in case you find the time
You`ve got love if you need it and it can`t go wrong
But stranger you`re in danger of losing me
Oh stranger you`re in danger of losing me

Oh stranger you`re in danger of losing me

Every dream that I dream Seems to float on by
Like a cloud in the wind Way up in the sky
Every move that I make Seems to be the wrong way
Like a cold black night After a summer day

What can I do
What can I do
Nothing to say but it used to be
Nothing to say but it used to be
What can I do

You still play my guitar With a smile on my face
Now everything's changed My whole life's rearranged
From the day I was born Sidle Jinks was my name
Though I tried and I tried That name still remains

What can I do
What can I do
Nothing to say but it used to be
Nothing to say but it used to be
What can I do

What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do

I hear voices all singing But no one is there
It's a ghost of my life Bringing past tense to mind
Lokin' key inside me From the freedom and sin
Oh come let me in I'll start all over again

What can I do
What can I do
Nothing to say but it used to be
No no no no no no no no no
What can I do
What can I do What

You're wasting my time
You're drinking my wine
So Little lucy say goodbye
I've stood quite enough
I'm calling your bluff
the cost of loving's much too hight
So little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry
Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry
We've had a hard time honey, so Little Lucy say goodbye
I'm playing it cool
I ain't such a fool
you know our love's just one big lie
we put on a sho, but now you must go
And we can't say we didn't try
So little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry
We've had some trouble
ain't gonna see your face no more
Now at the double
I'm gonna see ya just go right through that door
You're wasting my time,
you're drinking my wine
so Little Lucy say goodbye
I've stood quite enough
I'm calling your bluff
The cost of lobing's much too high
So little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry

So little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry

Well now that I'm leyving
well now that I'm going home
It's hard for me to believe in
all thoe words now that I'm all alone
I'm going home, I'm going home
There were times when I had me shaking
Oh times like I have never known
Oh you know that I was mistaken
'Cos you see my ego was overgrown
I'm going home, I'm going home
I'm going home where I can find it
to a place that's been on my mind
It seems I've been there before
I know where I've been
But maybe I've only seen it in my dreams
there ain't no reason in my life
But Lord, there's an answer
There ain't no reason in my life
there must be an answer
I'm going home, I'm going home
Dazed but still on reflection
Oh I guess that I was born to roam
so amazed that my recollection
I know that where I'll be my home
I'm going home, I'm going home
there ain't no reason in my life,life,
I'm going home
Lord there ain't no reason in my life, life
there's an answer
Midnight dreamer don't understand
restless sleeper ain't got no plans
Ain't no reasons but there's a way
There's an answer find it today
I'm going home, I'm going home

A summer evening on Les Champs Elyses
A secret rendezvous they planned for days.
I see faces in the crowded cafe
A sound of laughter as the music play

Jean Claude was a student at the university
Louise Marie is just a world away
He recall the night they met was warm with laughter
The words and music as she turned away

* I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
But Jean Claude Louise Marie will never be

Each cigarette will light a thousand faces
The sade is passing like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter's disappeared

**I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
But Jean Claude Lousie Marie will never be

A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses
The entertainment in the street cafe
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
Jean Claude has left some other day.

A summer evening on Les Champs Elyses

The words and music as she turned away.

I'll meet you at midnight,

But Jeanne-Claude,Louise-Marie will never be...

Each cigarette will light a thousand faces,
The shade is passing like a thousand years.
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter'd disappeared.

I'll meet you at midnight,
Under the moonlight,
I'll meet you at midnight...
Oh, but Jeanne-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be...

A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses,
The entertainment in the street cafe.

Jeanne-Claude has left some other day.

Lay Back In The Arms Of Someone

If you want my sympathy
Just open your heart to me
and you'll get whatever you'll ever need

you think that's too hight for you
Oh baby, I would die for you
When there's nothin' left
you know where I'll be

Lay back in the arms of someone
you give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love

Lay back in the arms of someone
when you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love


so baby just call on me
when you want all of me
and I'll be your lover I'll be your friend
and there's nothing I won't do
'Cause baby I just live for you
with nothing to hide, no need to pretend ..ohoh

Lay back in the arms of someone
you give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love

Lay back in the arms of someone
when you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
[Instrumental]


Oh I know you think that's too high for you
Oh baby, I would die for you
when there's nothing left ..I'll be with you

Lay back in the arms of someone
you give in to the charms of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love

Lay back in the arms of someone
when you feel you're a part of someone
Lay back in the arms of someone you love
[Instrumental]

What Can I Do
Every dream that I dream
seems to float on by

Like a cloud in the wind
Way up in the sky

Every move that I make
seems to be the wrong way

Like a cold black night
After a summer day

*What can I do
What can I do
Nothing to say but it used to be
Nothing to say but it used to be
what can I do

Used to play my guitar
With a smile on my face

Now everything's changed
My whole life's rearranged

From the day I was born
sidle Jinks was my name

Though I tried and I tried
That name still remains

What can I do...
What can I do, What can I do, What can I do

What can I do I hear voices all singing
but no one is there

It's a ghost of my life
Bringing past tense to mind

Lokin' key inside me
from the freedom and sin

Oh come let me in
I'll star all over again

What can I do...

* Repeat

A breathless drive on a downtown street,
A motor-bike ride in the midday heat,
The dust that hung from the desert skies,
Run though we'd run it still burned our eyes,

Oh yes we may walk on the wild wild side of life,
And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side,
And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand,
And show me a way to understand.

So if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you know what I need,
And if you really really want me to stay,
You've got to lead the way,
Yes if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you can stand by me,
And if you really really want me to stay,
You've got to lead the way.

A reckless nite in a nameless town,
Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound,
A beach that wept with deserted waves,
That's where we slept knowing we'd be safe,
Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me,
But there's a lot I can learn and a lot that I've yet to see,
You know you've got my life lying in your hands,
It's up to you to make me understand.

So if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you know what I need,
And if you really really want me to stay,
You've got to lead the way,

Yes if you think you know how to love me,
And you think you can stand by me,
And if you really really want me to stay,
You've got to lead the way.

In the heat of the night when you know it ain't right
But you do what you want to do.
You do what you feel but no one can feel like you.

In the summertime city ain't it a pity
There's so much to tie you down
You're leaving tonight for somewhere you can't be found

While down at the end of town
At a pool hall where they all hang around
You can hear them talking 'bout girls they know
Talking 'bout what they're gonna do
Then you ask yourself: is this where you belong

I was lost and at an end
It seemed so long
I really needed a friend
Why should I pretend?

I couldn't think I had to see
That Southern Comfort comforts me
I could be free
But where would I be?

Then you came along
And you sang your song
And you made my day
In your special way

Then I knew
That baby it's you
Baby it's you
You know that it's you I'm thinking of
Baby it's you

Try my best to get along
Make some friends, but something always went wrong
I come on too strong
Things were really getting rough
Getting tired of acting like I was tough
I just had enough

Then you came along
And you sang your song
And you made my day
In your special way

Then I knew
That baby it's you
Baby it's you
You know that it's you I'm thinking of
Baby it's you

(Chorus x 2)

Baby It's You

I was lost and at an end
It seemed so long
I really needed a friend
Why should I pretend?

I couldn't think I had to see
That Southern Comfort comforts me
I could be free
But where would I be?

Then you came along
And you sang your song
And you made my day
In your special way

Then I knew
That baby it's you
Baby it's you
You know that it's you I'm thinking of
Baby it's you

Try my best to get along
Make some friends, but something always went wrong
I come on too strong
Things were really getting rough
Getting tired of acting like I was tough
I just had enough

Then you came along
And you sang your song
And you made my day
In your special way

Then I knew
That baby it's you
Baby it's you
You know that it's you I'm thinking of
Baby it's you

(Chorus x 2)

Don't talk to me of shattered dreams
Of course you don't know what it means
to live for someone else, you can't just take

And when you're bitten by the truth
You blame it on your mis-spent youth
You never seem to learn by your mistakes

*So don't talk to me of wild wild angels
Wild wild angels on the skyways
those wild wild angels on the highways of your life
'Cos it's people like you, who never knew
What wild wild angels have to face

And I ain't hangin'round to see
You turn on someone else like me
I'm still alive and you know the way I live

but baby that's one way you'll never be
such simple things you fail to see
you take back everything you ever give

So don't talk to me of wild wild angels...
So don't talk to me of wild wild angels...

* Repeat

*Don't play your rock'n'Roll to me
That ain't the way it's meant to be

I ain't so blind that I can't see
Just let it lie and let it be

Don't play your rock'n'roll to me
Don't play your rock'n'roll to me
Don't play your rock'n'roll to me

I know you think I'm crazy to keep hangin' round
But I was sort of hopin' you'd change from the girl I found

But your words just sound like rock'n'roll lines to me
They''re just about as burnt out as a worn out forty-five

And you can't expect them to keep our love alive

Don't play your rock'n'Roll to me

I guess you had me fooled for a while
Whit your come on loks and your Mona Lisa smile

But your rock'n'roll is gettin' out of time for me
Go sing your lines to someone else, 'coss someone else may be

The fool you always thought you saw in me

* Repeat

Sally called when she got the word
And she said "I suppose you've heard, 'bout Alice"
Well I rushed to the window,
and I looked outside
But I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rode up onto Alice's drive

Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
but I just don't wanna know
'Cos for 24 years
I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I feel and
maybe get a second glance
Now I gotta get used to not
living next door to Alice

We grew up together,
two kids in the park
Carved out initials deep in the bark,
me an' Alice
Now she walks through the door,
with her head held high
Just for a moment I caught her eye
As the big limousine pulled
slowly out of Alice's drive

Then Sally called back,
and asked how I felt
And she said,
"I know how to help, to get over Alice"
She said, "Now Alice is gone,
but I'm still here You know,
I've been waiting 24 years..."
And the big limousine disappeared

I don't know why she's leaving,
or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
but I just don't wanna know
'Cos for 24 years
I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I feel and
maybe get a second glance
But I'll never get used to not
living next door to Alice
No, I'll never get used to not
living next door to Alice

Goin' tomorrow, goin' away
Goin' tomorrow, hear me say
I'm goin' away
Goin' tomorrow, leave the pas
goin' tomorrow, and at last
I'll leave the past
I've had enough of this here town, yeah
It's breakin' me up, it's bringin me down
Goin' tomorrow, goin' away
Goin' tomorrow, hear me sa,
I'm goin away
I've had enought of this here town, yeah
It's breakin me up, it's bringing me down
Goin' tomorrow, leave the past
Goin' tomorrow and at last
I'll leave the past
hey, hey, hey, I'm goin' away
Hey, hey, hey, I'm goin' away

Well I was out cruisin',
getting late and I was losin',
When I saw you walking my way,
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want,
But so do I and I ain't losing today.
Well your hips were swinging
and your jeans were clinging,
You were driving me out of my mind,
On a hot afternoon when there's nothing to do,
Your not the sort of thing a fellow should find,

So I pulled on over,
you tossed your hair off your shoulder,
As you turned and you looked my way,
Oh you would have died
or you'd have skinned me alive,
If I'd have said what I wanted to say,
So being polite said what you doin' tonight,
You said: "Just so happens I'm free",
You got all the right curves
and all the right words,
And that's alright by me.

Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days,
Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before,
Oh baby, you've opened the door,
Oh Carol, you can do it some more.

Well if you're ready for this
when we started to kiss,
She said: "Hold on a minute or two".
Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me,
I said: "Baby what's troublin' you",
She said: "I'm not sixteen,
if you know what I mean",
So we sat and we talked for a while,
And when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist,
And I must say she did it with style.

Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days,
Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before,
Oh baby, you've opened the door,
Oh Carol, you can do it some more.

All right...

Well I was out cruisin',
getting late and I was losin',
When I saw you walking my way,
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want,
But so do I and I ain't losing today.

Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days,
Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before,
Oh baby, you've opened the door,
Oh Carol, you can do it some more.

Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days,
Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before,
Oh baby, you've opened the door,
Oh Carol, you can do it some more.
Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more.
Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more.

Little Jenny came out of school,
Givin' boys the eye,
But the smile she gave to me,
Was for some other guy - other guy.

Took her to a movie show,
A dollar-fifty treat,
Went out to the car and came right back,
Some guy was in my seat - ain't she sweet.

Chorus:
I can't help feeling this way,
Thinking it over it's crazy to stay,
Well I know that it's got to be,
The girl can't help it, she's in love with me.

Jenny, Jenny, wonder why,
Kiss the boys and see me cry,
Don't you know there'll come a day,
All the boys will walk away - walk away.

Chorus

When I'm close to you at night,
I just can't tell wrong from right,
Jenny, oh I love you so,
I will never let you go - let you go.

Chorus repeat
