Who draws the crowd and plays so loud, Baby it's the guitar man. Who's gonna steal the show, you know Baby it's the guitar man,
He can make you love, he can make you cry He will bring you down, then he'll get you high Somethin' keeps him goin', miles and miles a day To find another place to play.
Night after night who treats you right, Baby it's the guitar man Who's on the radio, you go listen To the guitar man
Then he comes to town, and you see his face, And you think you might like to take his place Somethin' keeps him driftin' miles and miles away Searchin' for the songs to play.
Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along, You want to get the meaning out of each and ev'ry song Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own And take them home.
He can make you love, he can get you high He will bring you down, then he'll make you cry Somethin' keeps him movin', but no one seems to know What it is that makes him go.
Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin But he never seems to notice he's just got to find Another place to play, Anyway got to play, anyway Got to play
You say you're down and out And need some help to get you through each day Well, here's a thought or two I've used and like to pass them on your way I found them lying there The answers that you say you're looking for Make what you will of them And you can change the way it was before
You got to make it by yourself You know you got to make it by yourself I'll be your friend and I'll lend a helping hand But you got to try and help yourself before I can
I hear you talk of all the happiness And emptiness you've known Well, let me reassure you Never were you really all alone They say in quiet desperation many people cannot see They cannot see the simple truth That's not the way it has to be
You got to find it for yourself God helps the man who helps himself, amen I am your friend and I'll lend a helping hand But you gotta try and help yourself before I can
We got to help each other (each other) You got to help your brother when you can When you can
Now don't you think that I was preachin' I'm just reachin' out for you 'Cause that's the only way That I know how to get the message through Then you in turn and got to learn and teach it To somebody who Who felt the happiness and emptiness the same as you
And aubrey was her name A not so very ordinary Girl or name but who's to blame For a love that wouldn'tbloom For the hearts that never played in tune Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing Take away the words that rhyme it Doesn't mean athing
and aubrey Was her name we tripped the light And danced together to the moon But where was june No it never came around If it did it never made asound Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast Catching all the words But then themeaning going past
But god I miss the girl And I'd go a thousand times Around the world just to be Closer to her than to me
And aubrey was her name I never knew her but I loved her Just the same I loved her name Wish that I had found the way And the reasons that would make her stay I have learned to lead alife Apart from all the rest I can't have the one I want I 'll do without the best
But how I miss the girl And I'd go a million times Around the world just to say She had been mine for a day-
Watchin' you move across the floor You're fire up my mind, can't take it no more You're a fancy dancer Makin' me blind so I can't see You're a fancy dancer And you ain't no good for me You know you're comin' on strong You're my favorite misery
You captured my soul, imprisoned my heart You know you control whatever you start You're fancy dancer And it ain't too hard to see You're fancy dancer And you'll make a fool of me I know it won't be for long Until you dance a new song But just for tonight won't you dance your dance for me
I'm not the first and I won't be the last Don't want your future, just make the night last C'mon fancy dancer Make me blind so I can't see You're a fancy dancer And you ain't no good for me Yeah, we both knew from the start You'd try to dance with my heart But just for tonight won't you dance your dance for me
Voodoo woman made a doll of me And ever since then I been in misery She said I did her pretty little daughter bad And ever since then she's been driving me mad
Let me go, let me go, Tecolote Set me free, let me be, Tecolote
Drums keep beatin' in my head all night Poltergeists knockin' on my left and right Pain and a fever running 103 Just because her daughter wants to marry me
Rather die, rather die than get married Let me go, tell her no, tell her no
(Solo)
You heard my story and you now know why A strange old woman makes a grown man cry And next time a pretty pretty turns your head You better take a look at her mother instead
Let me go, let me go, Tecolote Let me be, set me free, let me free
You know I've got to leave here If I can pull myself up to the door You see I've tried my best to stay here But I can't see you anymore
There's something I've just gotta tell you There's something keeps bringing me down, you know There's one thing more I've just gotta ask you once again now, baby Won't you please let me go?
If I'm to meet my master If I'm to rule my fate You know it couldn't come any faster, babe But see I know it's not too late
Time has not been good for us No time has not been kind We've done all that we could for us More time won't change my mind
And when my life is over And I'm walking out in the rain Let me lie down in the clover And look up to the sun again
It's not that I did not love you But something kept bringing me down, you know There's something that I've just gotta tell you once again now, baby Let me go, let me go... let me go, let me go... let me go, let me go...
In this day and age where changes happen twice as fast, Sometimes I get to wonderin' if anything will last. People changin'partners like they change their underwear, Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but darlin' I still care.
And I'm yours for life. Come and be my lifetime. Come and take the love I have for only one. Yes I'm yours for life. Come and share my lifetime Share the world until our day is done.
From the time that I first saw your face I loved you where you stood, In you eyes a kindliness told me you were good. If the world could share your heart there'd never be a war, And darling if I tried and tried I could not love you more.
And I'm yours for life. Come and be my lifetime. Come and take the love I have for only one. Yes I'm yours for life. Come and share my lifetime Share the world until our day is done.
Sometimes I pray that you will always be the way you always are, Are to me. 'Cause if I lost you to the winds of change then I would cease to be.
And I'm yours for life. Come and be my lifetime. Come and take the love I have for only one. Yes I'm yours for life. Come and share my lifetime Share the world until our day is done.
Used to be my pleasure When I'd wake up in the morning Just to open my eyes and see you Just to find you were lying there But mornings now they seem to be an everyday affair I'm just a picture in the memory of your mind
All I ever wanted Every dream that I've ever cherished Was to share in a kind of magic That only lovers ever share All you ever offered me Was the moment then and there I'm just a picture in your mind
I used to want you, oh how badly did I want you I could not stand the hunger I used to stay awake at night and think of nothing but you And when I would awake to find you lying there beside me It made me so damn happy I couldn't satisfy my craziness for you
Now the spell is broken And my dreams they've all turned to ashes But I still have a love for living By loving you I've only just begun Love is never easy when it's given just by one I'm just a picture in your mind
I used to want you, oh how badly did I want you I could not stand the hunger I used to lie awake at night and think of nothing but you And when I would awake to find you lying there beside me It made me so damn happy, babe I couldn't satisfy my craziness for you
Found a few more answers And I'm ready for tomorrow But I still have to stop and wonder If I've learned anything from what we've done Love is never easy when it's given just by one I'm just a picture in your mind Picture in your mind
Everytime I look into you it tears me up inside Got a hunger for ya, woman, that just can't be denied Don't tell me no, ain't my kind of answer Don't tell me no, won't accept that answer
Makin' lots of money, honey, ain't what I call success And I won't have what I need until you tell me yes Don't tell me no - ain't my kind of answer Don't tell me no - ain't no kind of answer
That's how much I want you Like a good brew, like a fine wine You improve with time and I want you, I love you That's how much I need ya You're a part of me, my philosophy, my reality And I want you, that's how much I love you
Realize alibis ain't too wise And they just won't cut this time You're gonna give this boy a chance 'Cause he's apt to blow your mind Don't tell me no, ain't my kind of answer Don't tell me no, won't accept that answer
Should've kept on goin' But the hurt was showing when she looked at me that way I had to stay I knew I had to get to know her name
The town was weary She was to marry someone planned years ago Her eyes said no I knew I had to get to know her name
And when I got her all alone She told me through the tears That she didn't really love him But he'd waited for so many years
She said she couldn't break his heart She'd rather live with hers And though I told her she should leave with me She just could not believe with me
Should've kept on goin' Better that than knowin' that he made her his wife He took her life You know I didn't even know her name You know I didn't even know her name

Baby, I'm-a want you Baby, I'm-a need you You the only one I care enough to hurt about Maybe I'm-a crazy But I just can't live without...
Your lovin' and affection Givin' me direction Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour Lately I'm a-prayin' That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by Feeling all the while and never really knowing why...
Lately I'm a-prayin' That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me.
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by Then you came along and made me laugh And made me cry... You taught me why...

Nobody knows what your puttin me through Nobody knows if it's worth it for you Nobody sees, you got me down on my knees Well I've been down on my knees And I'm through beggin' please Don't put me back on my knees
You know how I always loved you Never placed myself above you

You sheltered me from harm Kept me warm, Kept me warm You gave my life to me Set me free, Set me free The finest years I ever knew, We're all the years I had with you
And I will give everything I own, I'll give my life, my heart, my home I will give everything I own Just to have you back again.
You taught me how to love, What its all, all above You never said too much But still you showed the way In my new, I'm watching you Nobody else will ever know The part of me that can't let go
I will give anything I own I'll give up my life, my heart, my home I will give everything I own Just to have you back again
Is there someone you know You're loving them so But taking them all for-granted You may lose them one day Someone takes them away And they don't hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own, I'll give up my life, my heart, my home, I will give everthing I own Just to have you back again Just to touch you once again
You know that lately people ask what I'm Doin' sittin' home alone all by myself They know I'm used to bein' out and about and they Don't know just what's become of myself They say the swinger can't swing it no more But they don't know what I'm hidin' behind my door Because you know I know I've never known nobody Nobody like you... Nobody to do what you do And when you're leavin' poor me all alone You got me sittin' here sufferin' by my telephone I been left... I been right And when I'm wrong I know you're gonna make me See the light Because you know I know I've never known nobody Nobody like you... Nobody like you. White other people dancin' romancin' and chancin' Their lives every saturday night Watchin' TV drinkin' tea her and me And maybe even have us a fight 'Cause an argument can be outta sight When you love to argue and you know how to fight I don't care about soul I don't even care about no rock and roll You know I don't care about nothin' Nobody... Nobody but you.
I found her diary underneath a tree. and started reading about me The words she's written took me by surpise you'd never read them in her eyes. They said that she had found the love she waited for. Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.
When she confronted with the writing there, simply pretended not to care. I passed it off as just in keeping with her total disconcerting air and though she tried to hide the love that she denied, wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.
And as I go through my life, I will give to her my wife all the sweet things that I can find.
I found her diary underneath a tree. and started reading about me. The words began stick and tears to flow. Her meaning now was clear to see. The love she'd waited for was someone else not me Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.
and as I go through my life, I will wish for her his wife all the sweet things that she can find all the sweet things they can find
I see her walking in the velvet moonlight But then she hides behind the clock of midnight And as I look to see her face She disappears without a trace...
Sometimes I find myself in endless wandering When I awaken in the misty morning And I must look to find my way As I await the end of day. Dream Lady... Dream Lady...
And I await the end of day Till nighttime comes again to stay Dream lady... Dream Lady... Dream Lady...
Daughter - don't give your love to the first man you see. Just bide your time so your heart will be free to find the one, Girl you don't have to run.
Daughter - don't think that love has gone out of style, Just some folks every once in a while don't understand How this world was planned.
Now I know you're wondering how You know when the real thing is comin' your way, When you live for him and not you You'll know that it's truly comin' to stay.
Daughter - I know it's hard to make yourself wait, But when the right man comes it's never too late So don't you cry , He'll be here by and by... and steal your heart away.
