I've got a smile That I put on When I'm not at home When I'm not alone
But it is so hard To make that smile 'Cause I know I'll be at home And alone in a while And if I look in a mirror I see my eyes start to tear I can't help but cry Since you said goodbye
I've got to hide Whhat I'm feelin' inside Can't let them see How you're hurtin' me
So I guess that's what I'll do Won't let them see through Won't let them know That you could hurt me so
I've got a laugh That I put on When I'm not at home When I'm not alone
But it is so hard To fake that laugh When my insides are cryin' And my heart's torn in half And all the music I hear And things I valued so dear Make me feel so blue They all remind me of you
(Now) What can I do (Now) That our love is through And my purpose is gone Still I got to live on I guess that's what I'll do I won't let them see through I won't let them know That you could hurt me so
Oh my reasons And my ways Keep on changing From day to day As i grow It becomes so clear Why i'm here
It's all here For you and me The beauty of life Someday you'll see Then you'll join in And sing along And you'll understand why i sing this song Let me tell you now I do love you I do love you I do love you
Well i'm talkin' bout life And livin' And the beautiful earth And givin' Talkin 'bout the natural things we've had since birth That's lovin' Well i'm talkin' 'bout a walk in the country Mother nature's sweet charm The smell of her perfume As we walk arm in arm Let me tell you now I do love you I do love you I do love you
Well it's a beautiful day And i'm on my way Oooh, thank you lord, for the country
Well my thoughts Are like ripples in a stream I see myself so free My eyes and spirit say hello My soul goes dancing by, oh hello
The clean fresh air Goes jumping through my head The sun is smilin' down If you have ever lived out here Then you know why i say I do love you I do love you I do love you
So come on let's move Out to the country Yeah, let's go live out there Come on people Come on people Yeah, let's be free We got to be free In the country You and me Come on people Come on people Better have a good time We'll have a good time We got to be free

Oh girl I looked you over once or twice I think that you are very nice And you're just meant for me

I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so Oh baby I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so Yes I am
If I had my choice of matter I'd would rather be with cats All engrossed in mental chatter, Showing where your mind is at While relating to each other How strong the love can be By resisting all the good times with each groovy chick we see
I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so Oooh, I'm a man, yes I am I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so I love to hear you talk
I've got to keep my image While I'm standing on the floor If I drop upon my knees It's just to keep them on my nose You think that I'm not human And my heart is made of stone But I've never had no problems And my body's pretty strong

Done the things i said i would Some of them were pretty good Suddenly they changed the game I only know it's not the same no more I don't know what to do the rules i knew
Ain't it sad Ain't it sad Ain't it true Ain't it true Ain't it blue Ain't it blue
The life i live is pretty nice Of course i had to pay a price Lots of folks depend on me Crazy kind of slavery, what for I don't know what to do the rules i knew
Ain't it sad Ain't it sad Ain't it true Ain't it true Ain't it blue Ain't it blue Ain't it blue
Sometimes i want to walk away I felt like that just yesterday But then this song is in my head I try my best 'till i'm dead and gone I don't know what to do the rules i knew
Ain't it sad Ain't it sad Ain't it true Ain't it true Ain't it blue Ain't it blue Ain't it blue
Listen If you think that we're here for the money You could be right, you know-ow-ow-ow But the bread is not too good here Well, that all was a-natural I said all you got to do is listen
Listen If you don't hear it you can tell us If it's good you can tell us all Or you can smile, that's alright my friend It could be so nice, you know If only you would listen
Listen If you don't understand it, no no no no You got to try to fly And don't you put me down, please For creating beyond your mind I said all you got to do is listen
