I never knew what a man was supposed to be
I never wanted the responsibility I still remember what they tried to make of me They used to wonder what they couldn't get through to me, 'Cauce all that I had as this music A-coming to me And all that I had was this rhythm A-running through me. I took a tip from the man in the ministry He said, ";My son, better work in the factory"; Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly I saw myself winding up in the military So lucky to have all this music A-coming to me I'm lucky to have all this rhythm A-running through me I'm watching the movie go down Around, about me I'm watching the marry-go-round Go down about me. I said, ";Lovers, you're needed in the garden 'Cauce there's a lot of crazy people Who've forgotten where their heart is And they don't give a damn About hurting those flowers and those trees."; C'est le bon, sailing on and on... Sometimes I wonder where my life is taking me Sometimes I wonder what they all expect of me Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly I saw myself winding up in the monastery 'Cauce all that I have is this music A-coming to me And all that I have is this rhythm A-running through me I'm watching the movie go down Around, about me I'm watching the marry-go-round Go down about me. I said, ";Lovers, you're needed in the garden 'Cauce there's a lot of crazy people Who've forgotten where their heart is And they don't give a damn About hurting that small child in me."; C'est le bon, sailing on and on... |

Here’s a little song to make you feel good Put a little light in your day These are crazy times And it’s all been getting pretty serious Here’s a little song to make you feel right Send the blues away Well it’s a crazy game Tell me who’s to blame, I’m kind of curious. Right if you win, wrong if you lose Nobody listens when you’re singing the blues Well something’s the matter, but nothing gets done Oh everyone’s waiting for a place in the sun Well something is wrong now Can something be wrong with me Oh brother, why’s it got to be so crazy... Gimme little left, gimme little right Gimme little black, gimme little white Gimme little peace, gimme little hope Gimme little light ’cause you know it seems that the situation’s getting serious. Right if you win, wrong if you lose Nobody listens when you’re singing the blues Well something’s the matter, but nothing gets done There’s no use in waiting for a place in the sun ’cause something is wrong now Can something be wrong with me Oh brother, why’s it got to be so crazy... Oh something is wrong with me Oh brother, why’s it got to be this crazy...

Don't leave me now
Leave me out in the pouring rain With my back against the wall Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Leave me out with nowhere to go As the shadows start to fall Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Leave me out on this lonely road As the wind begins to howl Don't leave me now Don't leave me now All alone on this darkest night Feeling old and cold and grey Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Leave me holding an empty heart As the curtain starts to fall Don't leave me now Don't leave me now All alone in this crazy world When I'm old and cold and grey And time is gone |

Did you get all you want? Did you see the whole show? So where’s all the fun That we used to know? As the memories fade Way out of view I’d love those old days To come back to you I’ve been waiting so long I’m not feeling so strong Did you say what you mean? Did you mean what you say? About this new scene Is it really that way? But the blindness goes on You say it’s not so But what do you know? I’ve been waiting so long I’m not feeling so strong Ain’t nothing new, it’s just the same old thing You got me singing those old blues again Angry music, words of fire Painted faces filled with rage Even then they sound so tired I must be set in my old ways If this world is unimpressive It’s been that way for quite awhile I don’t need no heavy message Just turn me on and make me smile Yes I’ve been waiting such a long time Just for something to ring true Now I’d rather taste the old wine Than mess around with something new And the blindness goes on The blindness goes on

And it's so big and it's gonna burst All you people with your heads in the ground Hey brother, where you bound? And they're no good and they're everywhere Try to tell you but you just don't care Yes I hear you but you don't make a sound Hey brother, where you bound? Hey brother, where you bound? And you don't know, what they're gonna do? And you don't know, how they feel? And you don't know, what they're tellin' you? Is it a lie or is it real And the next thing that you know is That they walk out on the deal And the message that they're giving you Is the same old alibi If you don't quite see their point of view Then they treat you like a spy And the phone rings and you disappear In the middle of the night Can't you see they're on the move Don't know what you're trying to prove But you sit there oh! so cool, like they never broke no rules And the cat flies and the crow walks And the ghost dies and the sow talks And they tell us, that they'll be as good as gold Hey brother, where's your soul? Believe nothing that you're told Make a move in one direction, try to make some compromise But they greet you with rejection, making out you're telling lies Then they turn around and tell you, better get down from the sky For the sake of all that's holy, listen good to what I say I can feel them all around me, they could be here any day But you act like you don't know me, why do you look at me that way? If there's one thing that is clear, we gotta get away from here We've gotta leave this place, it's just a hopeless case Ain't no one else to blame, we're gonna lose this game Hey brother get off my back, I gotta tell you, you're way off the track They got a hatred deep down inside Ain't gonna let them take me alive I'm gonna burn them down, just wait and see Ain't gonna let them, walk over me Boy, you ain't got no heart and soul And your mind is weak and your blood's running cold You better move, you better hide They're getting in, they're getting inside If you get caught, you better know They're gonna reap, you're gonna sow Don't be a fool, we gotta go Ain't no place safe for us to stay We better move on, we better move on We better move on, we better move on We better move on, we better move on |

The whole world knows that love goes wrong Why loose a heart that isn't broken? It isn't broken, it can't be broken Life's just a show for free Come along and watch with me The only sins are words unspoken Words unspoken, never spoken Sweet things come and go Give me shame, I'll give you wow To live for love isn't so easy It isn't easy, it won't be easy! How all good men try, Look around and wonder why Can they shape this world to please me Can they please me, should they please me? I follow but maybe you'll correct me I wish you'd never met me For I am your gentle man I follow and while you watch and wonder I call my world a sundown And show you who I am Send me a gentle dream of love so strange it's never seen And proof how such a love can happen It can happen, make it happen Fine things tumble down Fade away without a sound But hope must never end or slacken Never slacken, never slacken I follow but maybe you'll correct me I wish you'd never met me I am your gentle man I follow and while you watch and wonder I call my world a sundown And show you who I am |

You're messin' up the water You're rolling in the wine You're poisoning your body You're poisoning your mind You gave me coca-cola You said it tasted good You watch the television It tell you that you should. How can you live in this way? You must have something to say. There must be more to this life. It's time we did something right. Child of Vision, won't you listen? Find yourself a new ambition. I've heard it all before You're saying nothing new I thought I saw a rainbow But I guess it wasn't true You cannot make me listen I cannot make you hear You find your way to heaven, I'll meet you when you're there. How can you live in this way? You must have something to say. We have no reason to fight, cos we both know that we're right. Child of Vision, won't you listen? Find yourself a new ambition. |

It's just heartbreaking
I should have known that it would let me down It's just a mind aching I used to dream about this town It was a sight to see The place to be, Where the living is easy And the kicks can always be found It's such a shame about it I used to think that it would feel so good But who's to blame about it So many creeps in Hollywood I'm in this dumb motel Nea the 'Taco Bell' Without a hope in hell I can't believe that I'm still around Ain't nothin new in my life today Ain't nothing true it's all gone away I've had too much cryin', seen too much grief I'm sick of tryin' it's beyond belief I'm tired of talking on the telephone They're trying to tell me that they're not at home Ain't nothing new in my life today I'm tired of walking from place to place I've yet to come across a friendly face And now the words sound familiar, as them slam the door "You're not what we're looking for." Ain't nothing new in my life today Ain't nothing true it's all gone away If we only had time, only had time for you If we only had time, only had time for you If we only had time, only had time for you It was a heartbreaking Now I ride in the big fine car It was mind aching I'm the talk of the boulevard So keep your chin up boy Forget the pain I know you'll make it If you try again There's no use in quitting When the world is waiting for you |

It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn And I really have enjoyed my stay But I must be moving on Like a king without a castle Like a queen without a throne I'm an early morning lover And I must be moving on Now I believe in what you say Is the undisputed truth But I have to have things my own way To keep me in my youth Like a ship without an achor Like a slave without a chain Just the thought of those sweet ladies Sends a shiver through my veins And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye strange it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Now some they do and some they don't And some you just can't tell And some they will and some they won't With some it's just as well You can laugh at my behavior That'll never bother me Say the devil is my savior But I don't pay no heed And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger it's been nice etc... |

I'm feeling so alone now
They cut the telephone uh huh Yeah my life is just a mess I threw it all away now I could have made a fortune I lost the craving for success And as the acrobats they tumble So the corn begins to crumble While in the mirror She admires a brand new dress Live on the second floor now They're trying to bust the door down Soon I'll have a new address So much for liberation They'll have a celebration Yeah I've been under too much stress And as the cloud begin to rumble So the juggler makes his fumble And the sun upon my wall is getting less Don't, give a damn Fight, while you can Kill, shoot 'em up They'll run amuck Shout, Judas Loud, they'll hear us Soldier, sailor They'll run for cover when they discover Everyone's a nervous wreck now I used to think she was so nimble Would have bought her as symbol But now I can't afford the pen to sign her checks Don't give a damn............................ They'll run for cover when they discover Everyone's a nervous wreck now Life's just a bummer they got your number We'll give as good as we get now Rise from the gutter, stick with each other We'll drive 'em over the edge now They're gonna bleed, that's what they need We'll get together and blow their cover We're ready Yeah we're ready Yeah we're ready |

I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone
I need to find a silent place that I can call my own Is it mine, Lord is it mine? When everything's dark and nothing seems right, there's nothing to win and there's no need to fight I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land but it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand Is it mine, Lord is it mine? When everything's dark and nothing seems right, You don't have to win and there's no need to fight If only I could find a way to feel your sweetness through the day The love that shines around me could be mine. So give us an answer, won't you, We know what we have to do, There must be a thousand voices trying to get through. |

So you think you're a Romeo
playing a part in a picture-show Take the long way home Take the long way home Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood Why should you care if you're feeling good Take the long way home Take the long way home But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery all the greenery is comin' down, boy And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice. When lonely days turn to lonely nights you take a trip to the city lights And take the long way home Take the long way home You never see what you want to see Forever playing to the gallery You take the long way home Take the long way home And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable, unforgettable, how they adore you, But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity, oh, calamity, is there no way out? Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe? Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy. When you look through the years and see what you could have been oh, what might have been, if you'd had more time. So, when the day comes to settle down, Who's to blame if you're not around? You took the long way home You took the long way home........... |

When I was young,
it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical. There are times when all the world's asleep, the questions run too deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am. Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable! At night, when all the world's asleep, the questions run so deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am. |

Still i can't forget the past But you and me, we'll surelt meet again And maybe find the truth at last And the light, in the night Shines on brightly If it's alright with you It's alright with me Well i believe, that fate will find a way To guide us through these restless years And yes i know, that we'll speak one day With no more doubts and no more fears And the light, in the night Shines on brightly If it's alright with you It's alright with me So tell me now, if you can share my view Tell me where your comin' from We've both had time, time to think it through To know just where we both belong And the light, in the night Shines on brightly If it's alright with you It's alright with me |

I try to run in a different race But every time I seem to lose faith Making it is hard, but taking is easy But I got to keep trying to lessen my pace I try to walk down a city street I say hello to the people I meet They're walking their way, thinking I'm crazy But I have so much trouble just keeping the beat Well my way of life is simple 'Cause I just do what I please Whatever I was blessed with It wasn't a life of peace It's all right, yeah, here she comes Oh, maybe I'm just a country boy The city life will bring me no joy Well it's bringing me down, it's making me lonely You see I'm fooling with life and it ain't no toy Well my way of life is simple 'Cause I just do what I please And whenever I got problems I just call upon Aries All right yeah Here she comes Here she comes |

Now you're very much like your mother
And that's a natural fact But you couldn't look much like your brother's wife Or anyone like that And you don't look much like your sister 'Cause she's all big and fat But don't breath a word to your mean old dad 'Cause I'll be coming back I'm coming home to see you early in the morning I'll be around and on the first train today I'm coming home to see you while day's dawning All aboard, all aboard Put on some fancy clothes and meet me at the station Make sure I don't mistake you for your sister Jane Don't want to see you with your goddamn relations That's all for now, I'll se you, ciao |

I think it's funny, such a sad song
He likes his money, now you ain't got none So is it mighty strange now that you are so broke Don't try to make it man, you haven't got a home Remember when I was in trouble You put down the phone And anywhere you go, you go alone Before the crash came, the money sure flew You had a flash name, imagine you're broke But now it's breaking up there's no one near you Don't try for me to call 'cause I won't hear you Remember when I was in trouble You put down the phone And anywhere you go, you go alone Remember when I was in trouble You put down the phone And anywhere you go, you go alone Well, don't you sit around, start to move on Your life is broken down, so get a new one And if you make it by and kiss the good life Why don't you make it right, just look at this time Remember when I was in trouble You put down the phone And anywhere you go, you go alone |

Acting upon information received
Rosie had everything planned Stood in the garden with shotgun in hand What a woman Whilst entertaining the headlines next day Rosie would not be released If it was found that her man was deceased Silly woman Oh but Rosie, a girl with a strange kind of humour Stupidly took in a rumour Making her think that she'd lost Double-crossed by a man who was dear Stood in the garden and shaking her head Rosie could not understand Wiping her eyes with the back of her hand Sad, sad woman Oh but Rosie, how could a few words have made her Certain that he had betrayed her Making her think that she'd lost Double-crossed by a man who was dear Very near to her Row upon row of angel hair Rosie had everything planned Sure that the people would not understand Sad, sad woman |

Captain I am sorry that the ship should go astray
Letting the ocean have its own way Lay me down to pass exam, I'll pay for all my sins Pleading for mercy, my cancel begins Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong For the battle was too long for me to bear I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast And I notice there's at last a chance for me In and out of turmoil, and in and out of mind Deeper the ocean, stronger the tide Stormy seas surround me, no sails to keep me dry I prayed to you captain, but you heard not my cry Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong For the battle was too long for me to bear I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast And I notice there's at last a chance for me For me, for my story Let me lie in peace I want to say I'm sorry now Then I'll be on my way Then I'll be on my way Then I'll be on my way Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong For the battle was too long for me to bear I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast And I notice there's at last a chance for me |

Travelled the world a million ways
Catching upon a familiar gaze Everyone lives by do or die There's no one with time to laugh or cry There's no one to tell us what we're living for And though I try to be a good man I just know that I'll be losing very soon And there are times and there are motions When I do believe I'm going out of tune, oh Now I've been around a long, long while Looking for sun to make me smile But still multiply their daily bread They're thinking there lies good times ahead It must be a mighty funny way to feel And though I try to be a good man I keep finding out there's nowhere to begin And so I think I'll go on singing And in time I hope that we can all join in, oh |

To be naked in the eye of the storm And now it's standing right in front of me What's it going to do to me, who knows, Had a dream it was time To be taken to the front of the line Well that is not a place you wanna be Sleeping with the enemy, you know I don't care what the future brings Give a damn about anything I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone. But it's time - gotta take a stance 'Cause I won't get a second chance And I know now I have to make it alone Had a dream it was war And they couldn't tell me what it was for But it was something they could lie about Something we could die about, you know Anytime, anyplace When you look that man in the face Well it is not a face you wanna see Sleeping with the enemy, you know Mary, can you hear me Can you tell me what it's all supposed to mean Holding out a photograph of all that I have seen I wish I could hold you I wish I could hold you Had a dream it was time To be a witness at the scene of the crime Well, That is something you can analyse Something you can criticise, who knows So we wait, hesitate And we're making such a mistake Oh whatever can the matter be Sleeping with the enemy, you know I don't care what the future brings Give a damn about anything I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone But it's time, gotta take a stance 'Cause I won't get a second chance And I know now I have to make it alone |

Can somebody help me? What they trying to do? Chorus: Hey, don't you ever get lonely? Hey, don't you wish it was easy Facing the world on your own? I'm hooked on a problem; it won't let me go The way people look at me feels like twenty below Can somebody help me? What they trying to do? I'm walking a tightrope with stars in my eyes In danger of falling, won't you kiss me goodbye? Can somebody help me? What they trying to do? [Chorus] If you know the answer, what I'm tryin' to say I need a solution 'cause I'm wasting away Can somebody help me? What they trying to do? Won't somebody help me? What they trying to do?

I'm in the same old place With the same old faces always watching me Who knows how long I'll have to stay Could be a hundred years Of sweat and tears At the rate that I get paid Sometimes I slowly drift away From all the dull routine That's with me every day A fantasy will come to me Diamonds are what I really need Think I'll rob a store, escape the law And live in Italy Lately my luck has been so bad You know the roulette wheel's A crooked deal I'm loosing all I had Soon be like a man that's on the run And live from day to day Never needing anyone Play hide and seek Throughout the week My life is full of romance Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy That's the way it's got to be From now on You think I'm crazy I can see It's you for you, and me for me Living in a fantasy From now on |

I was up before the dawn And I really have enjoyed my stay But I must be moving on Like a king without a castle Like a queen without a throne I'm an early morning lover And I must be moving on Now I believe in what you say Is the undisputed truth But I have to have things my own way To keep me in my youth Like a ship without an achor Like a slave without a chain Just the thought of those sweet ladies Sends a shiver through my veins And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye strangeR it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Now some they do and some they don't And some you just can't tell )like( And some they will and some they won't With some it's just as well You can laugh at my behavior That'll never bother me Say the devil is my savior But I don't pay no heed And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger it's been nice etc... |

Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain making your life a little longer? Heaven or Hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel? Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker Too Frightening to listen to a stranger Too Beautiful to put your pride in danger You're waiting for someone to understand you But you've got demons in your closet And you're screaming out to stop it Saying life's begun to cheat you Friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you scramble for Don't let the tears linger on inside now Cos it's sure time you gained control If I can help you, if I can help you If I can help you, just let me know Well, let me show you the nearest signpost To get your heartback and on the road If I can help you, if I can help you If I can help you, just let me know. All through the night as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you? I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes? Too Frightening- the fire's getting colder Too Beautiful- to think you're getting older You're looking for someone to give an answer. But what you see is just an illusion You're surrounded by confusion Saying life's begun to cheat you Friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you can scramble for Don't let the tears... ... just let me know I wanna know... I wanna know you... Well let me know you I wanna feel you I wanna touch you Please let me near you Can you hear what I'm saying? Well I'm hoping, I'm dreamin', I'm prayin' I know what you're thinkin' See what you're seein' Never ever let yourself go Hold yourself down, hold yourself down Why d'ya hold yourself down? Why don't you listen, you can Trust me, There's a place I know the way to A place there is need to feel you Feel that you're alone Hear me I know exactly what you're feelin' cos all your troubles are within you please begin to see that I'm just bleeding to Love me, love you Loving is the way to Help me, help you - Why must we be so cool, oh so cool? Oh, we're such damn fools... |

It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end. Oh no, it's raining again And you know it's hard to pretend. Oh no, it's raining again Too bad I'm losing a friend. Oh no, it's raining again Oh will my heart ever mend. Oh no, it's raining again You're old enough some people say To read the signs and walk away It's only time that heals the pain And makes the sun come out again It's raining again Oh no, my love's at an end. Oh no, it's raining again Too bad I'm losing a friend. C'mon you little fighter No need to get uptighter C'mon you little fighter And get back up again Oh get back up again Fill your heart again... |

Rudy's on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He don't wanna get there, but he needs time He ain't sophisticated, nor well-educated After all the hours he's wasted, still he needs time He needs time - he needs time for livin' He needs time - for so |

So you think you're a Romeo
playing a part in a picture-show Take the long way home Take the long way home Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood Why should you care if you're feeling good Take the long way home Take the long way home But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery all the greenery is comin' down, boy And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice. When lonely days turn to lonely nights you take a trip to the city lights And take the long way home Take the long way home You never see what you want to see Forever playing to the gallery You take the long way home Take the long way home And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable, unforgettable, how they adore you, But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity, oh, calamity, is there no way out? Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe? Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy. When you look through the years and see what you could have been oh, what might have been, if you'd had more time. So, when the day comes to settle down, Who's to blame if you're not around? You took the long way home You took the long way home........... |

When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical And all the birds in the trees Well they'd be singing so happily Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me But then they sent me away To teach me how to be sensible Logical, oh responsible, practical And then they showed me a world Where I could be so dependable Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical There are times when all the world's asleep The questions run too deep For such a simple man Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd Please tell me who I am I say now watch what you say Or they'll be calling you a radical A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal Oh won't you sign up your name We'd like to feel you're acceptable Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable Whoa (tick, tick, tick, yeah) But at night when all the world's asleep The questions run so deep For such a simple man Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd But please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am |

Let me tell you a story that'll make a change, Let me tell you when I'm way out of range; It's about a man who's crueler than me, So promise not to cause a scene, Heaven help the one's you love, There's no big need for stars above Well, you can run, you, know he'll find you, It don't matter now, just look behind you, You had your warn, and you knew the score, You got it wrong, and that means war; So, why'd you have to treat me rough, Your explanation's not enough. -Ain't nobody but me, Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you; Ain't no fish in the sea, Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you, Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you, Wooh- You see, I got a mental disposition, Sometimes, I'm mean, sometimes I'm vicious; I'm Dr. Jekyll, I'm Mr. Hyde, So if you wanna stay alive, Just give me all you've got to give, And, then perhaps I'll let you live. -Ain't nobody but me, Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you, Ain't no fish in the sea, Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you, Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you; Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you, Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you.- (HUSH) Now baby, stop your crying, (OH YES) I know that I've been lying, (HUSH) Now baby, stop your crying (OH YES) I know that I've been lying (HUSH) Now baby, stop your crying (OH YES) I know that I've been lying (HUSH) Now baby, stop your crying (OH YES) I know that I've been lying AAAaaa |

If there's no way of knowing where's the answer, You should know if you need me by now, tell me how. You saw me in the first place, Who d'you think I am How can you be so two-faced And tell me where I stand Yeah, we've been here once before, I see you by the door, You said you knew and all were calling, Yeah, you know you just can't lose, All you have to do is choose, let me in on where your heart is. You ain't nothing but another man's woman, Living on another man's land; At night I hear a hound dog callin, A callin' me a cheatin' man. I tell you somethin', I need good lovin', but you don't understand, At night I see you cannonball comin' To blow me to the promised land. If there's no-way of showing where your love lies, Is it me?, is it him?, or no-one; What will be done? About the mess you made me, Oh don't you give a damn, You're gonna drive me crazy, It's more than I can stand, 'Round and 'round we always go First it's yes and then it's no, Oh whatever keeps me sane? I'm so helpless, can't you see? Did you cast a spell on me, Say you love me please, I'm praying |
