Sumapaz is the 20th locality of Bogotá, capital of Colombia. It is the largest of Bogotá's 20 localities, beginning from the north at the edge of the urban frontier and running south to the Cundinamarca border with Meta and Huila. It is completely rural, with no city services.
The area was an important pilgrimage site for the Muisca indigenous peoples in pre-Columbian times, as the goddess Bachue was believed to be submerged in Iguaque lake. In the 16th century, it was discovered by Nicolás de Federman on his journey to El Dorado.
It has been the stage for several rural conflicts, including those of 1928 and 1946. La Violencia of 1948 gave rise to the formation of the guerilla groups still present in Colombia. At the beginning of the 21st century, the Colombian army took the territory from guerilla hands as part of a counter-guerilla strategy of President Álvaro Uribe.
The population is dependent on small-scale farming and livestock.
North: The localities of Usme and Ciudad Bolívar.
East: The municipalities of Une and Gutiérrez and the department of Meta.
South: The border of Cundinamarca and Huila departments.
West: The municipalities of Cabrera, Vencecia, San Bernardo, Arbeláez, and Pasca.
Woman
When I walked with you last night
My mind
Saw that you'd soon hold me tight
I can't concede, no

Realize what you can do
I just sympathize but still it's true
I can't concede, no
I can't believe you love me too

What more can I do
You know I'd gladly
Lose myself to you
But something always
Holds me back
I wish I knew
What it is that stops me
From loving you
The way it should be
Oh, oh , oh, oh
What more can I do
I'm trying hard
I know I could believe in you
But something always keeps a hold on me
And just won't let me go
Such a burning bully
Inside while I'm trying to hide that
I want you to own me, own me, own, own
Oh yeah
What more can I say
I've said it all now
Got such a love to lose
A price to pay
If you ignore me
What more can I do
(What more can I do)
What more can I do
(Oooh)
Should I try to hide
The way I feel inside
My heart for you?
Would you say that you
Would try to love me too?
In your mind could you ever be
Really close to me?
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I could be certain then
I would say the things
I want to say tonight
But till I can see
That you'd really care for me
I will dream that someday you'll be
Really close to me
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I could be certain then
I would say the things
I want to say tonight
But till I can see
That you'd really care for me
I'll keep trying to hide
We'll be walking in the sun
And share our joy with everyone
If they only knew
The joy I share with you
They'd be walking in the sun
(They'd be walking in the sun)
(They'd be walking in the sun)
They'd be walking in the sun
(They'd be walking in the sun)
You will lie and walk with me
And we will share our ecstasy
Round the world
They laugh and say
It's the time of the season
When love runs high
In this time, give it to me easy
And let me try with pleasured hands
To take you in the sun to promised lands
To show you every one
It's the time of the season for loving
What's your name?
Who's your daddy?
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken any time
To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving
What's your name?
Who's your daddy?
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken any time
To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what I really want to know
The warmth of your love
is like the warmth of the sun
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
don't let go of my hand
now darkness has gone
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
and I won't forget
the way you held me up when I was down
and I won't forget the way you said,
"Darling I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there and we've only just begun
This will be our year
took a long time to come
The warmth of your smile
smile for me, little one
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
You don't have to worry
all your worried days are gone

took a long time to come
and I won't forget
the way you held me up when I was down
and I won't forget the way you said,
"Darling I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there and we've only just begun
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
Yeah we only just begun
yeah this will be our year
This old heart of mine
Been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away
I think you're going to stay
All the night's are gone
Memories that go
Bringing you back again
Hurting me more and more
Maybe it, it's my mistake
To show this love I feel inside
Each time I feel you come closer
I'll never stop breathing
Cause my heart has stopped beating
But I
I love you
Oh, I love you
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
I love you
Yes I do
Yes I do
This old heart of mine
Been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away
I think you're going to stay
Always when we hug or kiss
I remember little things I've missed
Each time I feel you come closer
I'll never stop feeling cause my heart has stopped
breathing
Tonight
I love you
Oh, I love you
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
I love you
Yes I do
Yes I do
This old heart of mine
Been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away
I think you're going to stay
All the night's are gone
Memories that go
Bringing you back again
Hurting me more and more
Maybe it's my mistake
To show this love I feel inside
Each time I feel you come closer
I'll never stop feeling
Cause my heart has stopped breathing
And I
I love you
Oh, I love you
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
I love you
Yes I do
Yes I do
I love you
Yes I do
Yes I do
I love you
Yes I do
I love you
Yes I do
should i try to hide
the way i feel inside
my heart for you?
would you say that you
would try to love me too?
in your mind could you ever be
really close to me?
i can tell the way you smile
if i feel that i could be certain then
i would say the things
i want to say tonight
but till i can see
that you'd really care for me
i will dream that someday you'll be
really close to me
i can tell the way you smile
if i feel that i could be certain then
i would say the things
i want to say tonight
but till i can see

i'll keep trying to hide
The look of love
Is in your eyes
A look
Your heart can disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got the look of love
Is on your face
A look in time can't erase
Your mine tonight
Could this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let's make a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
The kind of girl who says to me she doesn't want my love
Is not the kind of girl that you tell me I should be
thinking of
But more of that another day
I've found another child to share with me
All of the pleasures that you've enjoyed
But don't you think that you're forgiven for taking her
away
For if it hadn't been for your deceit, I'd be holding her
today
(x2):
You think you've got everything
Just because you hold her in your arms & squeeze her
tight
Don't you understand that she runs away
With anyone who happens in her sight
Oh you can't see how hard she is; you think you're very
wise
But she will run away from you before you realize
And if she should tell you "Come closer"
And if she tempts you with her charms
Tell her no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me
And if she should tell you, "Come closer"
And if she tempts you with her charms
Tell her no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Don't take her love for your arms)
No, no, no, no, no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me
I know she's the kind of girl
Who'd throw my love away
But I still love her so
Don't hurt me now, don't hurt me now
If she tells you "I love you"
Just remember she said that to me
Tell her no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Don't take her love from my arms)
No, no, no, no, no
It's summertime and the living is easy
The bees are jumping and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mama's good looking
Would you hush, pretty baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings you're going to wake up singing
There you're going to spread wings and take to the sky
But till that morning ain't nothing, nothing going to harm you
With your mommy and daddy there standing by
It's summertime and the living is easy
The bees are jumping and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mama's good looking
I'm moving back to the southside of the street
I wanna be where I still can feel the heat
The sun is out, and the sky so blue
I can't believe how I've changed my view
Now I'm back on the southside of the street
Getting back to the life I lived so well
My baby's with me and, man, I'm feeling swell
I tried my best, but I could not cope
From the end of a telescope
Now I'm back in the life I loved so well
How much can I begin to say (that I love you so)
I want you every single day (and I won't let go this
time)
We'll grab the time as it races past
Treat each moment as if it were our last
(Get along with just love in our hearts
As each day of the week passes by)
Let me tell you, it flies
Getting back to the speech, that's in my heart
So much to say that I don't know how to start
I'm moving back to the best of days
You better believe it, I changed my ways
Now I'm back to the speech that's in my heart
I'm moving back to the southside of the street
I wanna be where I still can feel the heat
The sun is out, and the sky so blue
I can't believe how I've changed my view
Now I'm back on the southside of the street
The only place where my life can be complete
METIMES
Sometimes I feel a little a little lonely
Well, don't you know that sometimes (I feel a little
lonely)
& don't you know that sometimes (I cry at night)
But I just have to hold you (I just have to hold you)
& I know it's all right (I know it's all right)
(x2):
When I'm so happy when I'm with you
When I touch you, all my feelin's can't describe
All the love I feel for you
But I just wake up in the mornin'
& I wonder if this love is real
I've been hurt so many times before
But now I know, I know this love is real
Then sometimes I wonder (I feel a little lonely)
I really do (I cry at night)
But I just have to hold you (I just have to hold you)
Smokey day, hey
Bring the dust of dusty evening
Weave the spell of evening
Into patterns of my life
Smokey day, hey
How her perfume still entrances
Soft, serene, she dances
Moving sweetly through my life
Smokey day, hey
Hear the call of plaintive voices
Does it whisper?
Voices calling gently through the night
Smokey day, hey
Your enchanting light is leaving
Silver haze is leaving
I remember your face
When I think of this place
When I'm thinking back
I'll remember
When I'm far, far away
I'll remember today
When I'm thinking back
I won't forget you
And if I should change my mind
And I do sometimes
You know I do sometimes
I'll come back to you
I'll remember that smile
In your eyes all the while
When I'm thinking back
I'll remember
Comes a day when I'm down
My thoughts turn around
To when I last saw you
I can't forget you
And if I should change my mind
And I do sometimes
You know I do sometimes
I'll come back to you
And if I should change my mind
And I do sometimes
You know I do sometimes
I'll come back to you
Remember, remember, remember, remember
Well no one told me about her the way she lied
Well no one told me about her how many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
Well no one told me about her, what could I do
Well no one told me about her, though they all knew
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
------ electric piano ------
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
I saw her walking out the other day
I thought my love for her
Had gone away
Well I remember
How I loved her so
(Baby come on home)
My solitude tells me she could, no
But she said what to me
She's coming home
And so I'll cry no more
I'll dry my tears
She's coming home to me
She's coming home to me
I thought the words of love we used to say
Were lost to time
Oh baby, baby, baby
I'll be good to you
If you would only try again to love me too
Our love was such a sweet and gentle thing
I threw our love away
With I thought...
But she said what to me
She's coming home
And so I'll cry no more
I'll dry my tears
She's coming home to me
She's coming home to me
But she said what to me
She's coming home
And so I'll cry no more
I'll dry my tears
She's coming home to me
She's coming home to me
She stands by the lights
After put on the audience
Smile on her face, just taken into everybody
She loves the way they love her
(The love her)
She loves the way they love her
And she smiles
She loves every sweet talking line
Oh...
Then the smooth talking baby
Blessed man from the management
Trips on the wire
As he's paying her a compliment
She loves the way he loves her
(He loves her)
She loves the way he loves her
And she smiles
She loves every sweet talking line
Oh...
She loves the way he loves her
(He loves her)
She loves the way he loves her
And she smiles
She loves every sweet talking line
Oh...
Crying, dying, sighing, whining, shining in the
microphone
Dreaming dreams of future time
While she and me are all alone
She loves the way I love her
(I love her)
She loves the way I love her
And she smiles
She loves every sweet talking line
Oh...
Running my hands through her hair
And knowing she'll always be there
Oh, she loves the way that I love her
She loves the way they know she loves her
She loves the way he loves her
She smiles
She smiles
She loves the way I love her
Ooh, I love her, I love her, I love
She loves the way I love her
I'm a road runner honey
Cause the road runner honey
Baby that's all I am to you
Yeah the road runner honey
Now I know that, that's true
Move over baby, I'm going to drive
Oh, oh
Cause the road runner honey
Baby that's all I am to you
Yeah the road runner honey
Now I can see that it's true
Move over baby, I'm going to drive
Cause the road runner honey
Baby that's all I am to you
Yeah the road runner honey
Now I can see that, that's true
It's a mistake going back
They tell me that nothing's the same ever again
But when you walked through the door
It was just like before
Oh, nothing's changed, no
When I saw you again, little girl
Something stopped here inside
And I wanted to hold you
And tell you, I loved you just like before
Oh, oh
This is just one day
But one day is enough to start all over again
Give me just one day
And we will begin all over again
You didn't mean to hurt me before
But you did, you did
But now you're sorry now, I know
Oh you're sorry, I can see
'Cause when you saw me again
You smiled at me then
Like nothing's changed, no
It's gonna be easy this time, I know, I know
Come on, just try me one more time
I know it's gonna work out just fine
I can see her
She cant see me
Oh no, no she cant know
Just where Ill be
See the sun kiss her skin as I sit up in this tree
And we will watch her all day long, my telescope and me
Chorus
Mr. Galileo, thank you for what youve done
Without you Galileo, it wouldnt be much fun
I can see her, deep in the night
See her shape on the blind, against the light
And I look in her room as she moves restlessly
And we will watch her all night long, my telescope and me
Chorus repeat
I can watch her, everyday
Every time I can hide, so far away
Though I know I love her, dont think she would love me
And we will watch her all day long, my telescope and me
It's not the note so reminiscent
Of everything I've ever known
That makes me want to be with you
Beneath the shimmering waves of moonlight
That dance and tremble at our feet
I want you in my arms and in my soul
No matter what the future holds
You know tonight they kiss in Memphis
And trace the writing on the wall
Tonight my soul has wings
Drifting in an ancient sky
Deep within the Valley of the Kings
Tonight there's not a a trace of Elvis
To claim the magic southern sky
And how I want to be with you
And I can feel the breath of angels
A spirit that I can't deny
That reaches out across three thousand years
Dissolves my heart in joy and tears
You know tonight they kiss in Memphis
And trace the writing on the wall
Tonight my soul has wings
Drifting in an ancient sky
Deep within the Valley of the Kings
In my heart there's a song that's been waiting
It's been held like a coil on a spring
Let it run, let it fly
Changing my life with its freedom ring
You know tonight they kiss in Memphis
And trace the writing on the wall
Tonight my soul has wings
Drifting in an ancient sky
Seeing with an eagle's eye
She told me she loved me
With words as soft as morning rain
But the light that fell upon me
Turned to shadow when he came...
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again
I remember joy and pain
Her smile, her tears are part of me
I feel I'll never breathe again
I feel life's gone from me...
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again
All the days
And all the nights
Are time just passing by
And all the dreams I'm dreaming now
Hide the tears that I cry...
I feel so cold
I'm on my own
As the night folds in around me
Night surrounds me
I'm alone...
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
After he's gone
If it seems that I'm too quiet
That's 'cause I'm missin' her
My mind tells me I have to fight
But I can't help missin' her
You'd better leave me alone, you'd better leave me alone
Until I can think about her without feelin' sorry for myself
You'd better leave me be till I don't need her anymore
I don't wanna see her again until I'm sure I'm over her
But still feeling tired and wanting
Is not like I thought it would be
Love just cannot end at parting
My world's dropped from under me
You'd better leave me alone, you'd better leave me alone
Until I can think about her without feelin' sorry for myself
You'd better leave me be till I don't need her anymore
I don't wanna see her again until I'm sure I'm over her
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Just out of reach
Time has changed you, I can see
Try to remember how we used to be
Come on back to me
Just out of reach
Don?t stand back and you will see
Just how easy it can be
But you stand contentedly
Just out of reach
Time will show that I mean what I say
You?ll see, you?ll see
You?ll wonder why you doubted my work
When our love was meant to be
Come on home, you?ll be glad
Back here I won?t be mad
Funny you should be the one to make me feel sad
Just out of reach
Just out of reach
Time will show that I mean what I say
You?ll see, you?ll see
You?ll wonder why you doubted my work
When our love was meant to be
Come on home, you?ll be glad
Back here I won?t be mad
Funny you should be the one to make me feel sad
If you wanna mess around, just stay away from my door
I've got a leak in my bucket and a great big hole in my floor
But if you wanna stay around and love me
You know it's all right with me
I've got no money, can't afford no big black car
My bank account won't see me very far
But if you wanna stay around and love me
You know it's all right with me
I'm sick and tired of bein' on my own
But you know, I'll take nobody
Who's gonna leave me tired and alone
So you see, I can only offer a man that's poor
With frost and that and trouble at my door
But if you wanna stay around and love me
You know it's all right with me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
You've known me now more than just a few days
And you think love is so good you want me to stay
But that won't be any good (good)
I won't stop or stay
And you must know it truth
Cause you can't be in love
Yes you know what a proof
But I love you
And even if I do
I must move, I must move
And I can't stand still
I must move, I must move
I must go
Take a good look at yourself and at me
Turn right around opened eyed
You will see
When this day is through
I'll be leaving you
I must move, I must move
And I can't stand still
I must move, I must move, I must go
No, no
You've known me now more than just a few days
And you think love is so good you want me to stay
Hey, hey, hey
I want to tell you something
So listen try to understand
Hey, hey, hey
If you continue to chase the sun
I'll never be your man
I'll count the times that I told you
You really shouldn't try
And I told you
Cause baby you'll just cry for a shadow
Believe me
Baby, baby, baby
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Hey, hey, hey
I better warn you now
Someday you'll find yourself alone
Hey, hey, hey
And life's not pretty then
It's ugliness will hide the Sun
I'll count the times that I told you
You really shouldn't try
And I told you
Cause baby you'll just cry for a shadow
Believe me
Baby, baby, baby
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
I'm going to do just how I feel
Don't try to hustle me the way I feel
Hey, hey, hey
I'll count the times that I told you
You really shouldn't try
And I told you
Cause baby you'll just cry for a shadow
Believe me
Baby, baby, baby
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Is this the dream you're crying for
Oh you can't live with a dream
You can't buy with a dream, oh
Is this the dream
It's not that you're wrong
It's just that I am right
I don't want to be tied down
Every day and every night
Now I've got an indication
I'll hold out against sensation
I know that if I really try
I think I can hold out
If you think
You've got me under wrong
You may be right
But I won't be the one to settle down
Now I've got an indication
I'll hold out against sensation
I know that if I really try
I think I can hold out
But if I can't hold out
Keep away from you
I can see it happening
I will be with you
If it happens
There's nothin' I can do
But realize that you have won
And it's no use to fight
Now I've got an indication
I'll hold out against sensation
I know that if I really try
I think I can hold out
Now I've got an indication
I'll hold out against sensation
I know that if I really try
Well I have a picture in color of you
And it's there in my room to remind me of you
So it was with surprise that I saw you today
And I did not recognize you, girl, what more can I say?
For the colors are gone
You've become kind of gray
And you're not like the swan
That I knew yesterday...
Now the pictures are wrong
You've become kind of gray
I imagine the swan
That you were yesterday...
The sadness that I felt was hard on my eyes
And the truth on my face was hard to disguise
So I let you walk by
I turned out of your way
And I tried to close my eyes
And let the sadness fall away...
For the colors are gone
You've become kind of gray
And you're not like the swan
Imagine The Swan
That I knew yesterday...
Now the pictures are wrong
You've become kind of gray
I imagine the swan
When she love me nothing in the world
Can touch her loving now
The light of love has gone
Can I return the joy she's dreaming of
I don't know
I don't know
But if it don't work out
The tears that I cried, babe
(If it don't work out)
Won't bring her home
(If it don't work out)
If it don't work out
Will she still care for me
The way she did before, well
She turned around and tells me
She don't love me anymore
I don't know
I don't know
But if it don't work out
The tears that I cried, babe
(If it don't work out)
Won't bring her home
(If it don't work out)
If it don't work out
But if I could forget
The tears and the crying
That I went through
Once before
Maybe my love, could start
Start again
One day I know we'll find
The candle that we had
And I
Will know and feel
The joys and pleasures
That I'm dreaming of
And I don't know
I don't know
But if it don't work out
The tears that I cried, babe
(If it don't work out)
Won't bring her home
(If it don't work out)
If it don't work out
But if it don't work out
If it don't work out
If it don't work out
Well I'm going home
To see my woman
And I'm going home
To see my girl
Oh don't you know
She really loves me
Oh don't you know
She really cares
Yes I'm going home
To see my woman
And I'm going home
To see my girl
Oh don't you know
She really loves me
Oh don't you know
She really cares
She's there to love me every night
And when she love me she love me right
I'm going home
To see my woman
I'm going home
To see my girl
Oh don't you know
She really loves me
Oh don't you know
She really cares
Oh, Oh
She's there to love me every night
And when she love me she love me right
I'm going home
To see my woman
I'm going home
To see my girl
Oh don't you know
She really loves me
Oh don't you know
In the night you'll hear me crying
That's because I'm sad that I'm away from you
If there's something on my mind
Take no notice
No, I'm just trying to think of something else
If I weren't, that's my business
Anytime I want to cry
If I want to feed this sickness
Keep away from me
Cause I'll keep trying till you come on home
(Keep trying)
Keep trying (keep trying)
Till my time has come
Keep trying till you come on home to me
You thought you could throw away
Everything I gave you just a say a word
Can't you see that you were wrong
Can't you see I knew how long you'd lied and cheated
If I weren't, that's my business
Anytime I want to cry
If I want to feed this sickness
Keep away from me
Cause I'll keep trying till you come on home
(Keep trying)
Keep trying (keep trying)
Till my time has come
Keep trying till you come on home to me
If I weren't, that's my business
Anytime I want to cry
If I want to feed this sickness
Keep away from me
Cause I'll keep trying till you come on home
(Keep trying)
Keep trying (keep trying)
Till my time has come
Though you and I would dance and laugh and play
Walk in the light of day
And talk the night away
Could you see, baby you understood then
That I loved you, how I loved you...
I couldn't chance to break the spell we had
The happy times we had
And yet the times were sad
Just for me, baby you understood then
I was afraid to try to call you mine...
But now you've come to me
(I'll call you mine)
You've brought your love to me
(I'll call you mine)
You'll never look away
Or ever hear me say
(I'll call you mine)
But now you've come to me
(I'll call you mine)
You've brought your love to me
(I'll call you mine)
You'll never look away
Or ever hear me say
(I'll call you mine)
I couldn't chance to break the spell we had
The happy times we had
And yet the times were sad
Just for me, baby you understood then
I was afraid to try to call you mine
But now you've come to me
(I'll call you mine)
You've brought your love to me
(I'll call you mine)
You'll never look away
Or ever hear me say
Somebody help me
I've got to eat
Somebody help me
To stand on my feet
I want you back again
Oh, oh, oh
I want you back again
Since you have left me
I'm all alone
I need your help, I
Can't stand on my own
I want you back again
Oh, oh, oh
I want you back again
Since you have left me
I'm all alone
I need your help, I
Can't stand on my own
I want you back again
Oh, oh, oh
I want you back again
I want you back again
Oh, oh, oh
I close my eyes and soon I'm feeling sleepy
I sleep so easy
There's nothing on my mind
And life seems kind
Now, I want her she wants me
I walk downtown and as I look around me
All around me
The people smile at me
It's plain to see that
I want her she wants me
She told me to be careful
If I loved her
'Cause she had given her heart
Once before...
And now she knows she doesn't have to worry
I would not make her sorry
There's nothing on my mind
And life seems kind
Now, I want her she wants me
She told me to be careful
If I loved her
'Cause she had given her heart
Once before...
And now she knows she doesn't have to worry
I would not make her sorry
There's nothing on my mind
And life seems kind
Now, I want her she wants me
I want her she wants me
I want her she wants me
I want her she wants me
I want her she wants me
I want her she wants me
I want her she wants me
I want her she wants me
I want her she wants me
I want her she wants me
I want her she wants me
She seemed so cold to me
and I remember when I loved her
She seemed so cold to me
but I remember when I loved her
Now we are strange, no more in love
but I still wish that I could hold her
My dream of love has gone
and I remember when I loved her
Instrumental interlude
Now we are strange, no more in love
but I still wish that I could hold her
My dream of love has gone
and I remember when I loved her
when I loved her
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes, I do
But the words won't come and I don't know what to say
I should tell you, I love you, I do
My words should explain but my words won't come
I shouldn't hide my love deep inside
My words should explain but my words won't come
I should tell you just how I feel and I keep tryin'
But something holds me back when I try to tell you
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes, I do
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes, I do
But the words won't come and I don't know what to say
If I can find the words in my mind
The words could explain but the words won't come
If you can see what you mean to me
My words should explain but my words won't come
And oh, how hard I try to tell you I love you
But something holds me back when I try to tell you
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes, I do
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes, I do
But the words won't come and I don't know what to say
And I don't know what to say
And oh how hard I try to tell you I love you
But something holds me back when I try to tell you
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes, I do
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes, I do
But the words won't come and I don't know what to say
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes, I do
I know this girl
And know you well
You want her now
She needs you now
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
She'll be for you
I know she will
I know she will
Take my advice
Treat her good, treat her right
Smile for her
She'll be your world
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
She'll be for you
I know she will
I know she will
She told me how she longed for you
Asked me what to do
And I'm wondering how to
Make you see
All you've got to say
Make her come your way
And I know she will
Just take her hand
She'll go with you
One to her
She'll be your world
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
She'll be for you
I know she will
I know she will
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
She'll be for you
I know she will
I know she will
She told me how she longed for you
Asked me what to do
And I'm wondering how to
Make you see
All you've got to say
Make her come your way
And I know she will
Just take her hand
She'll go with you
One to her
She'll be your world
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
She'll be for you
I know she will
If you can't find better things to do
Than tell me stories about her that you think are true
I don't wanna hear anything about her that's bad
I don't wanna hear anything that makes me sad
I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
I don't want to know; you'd better turn around & go
I don't want to know
I don't wanna listen; I'm not gonna hear you
I believe what I want, no matter what you do
(x3:)
I don't care, don't want another word of anything you say
I don't wanna hear anything; you just keep away
I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
I don't want to know; you'd better turn around & go
I could spend the day
Just laying here
Sweet beside you
Lazing time away
With gentle feeling of life
Would you want to hear
I would fall
Try said that I mean it
Sunlight gently cheers
Too deep, I sweep our eyes
So what do you say
The sun has started rising
Would you spend the day
Just laying sweet with me
I could spend the day
Just laying here
Sweet beside you
Lazing time away
I can't make up my mind
Someone has to help me
I never seem to know what to do
I just can't decide for myself
She has told me in so many words
That she's still in love with me
And she wants me back
She wants me back with her again
She said
"Why don't you come back home to me?
Why don't you come back
Come back where you belong?
I need you here"
"Why don't you come back home to me?
Why don't you come back
Come back where you belong?
I want you by my side"
Someone show me which way to go
I need guiding in my choice
Well, I remember yesterday
Just drifting slowly through a crowded street
With neon darkness shimmering through the haze
A sea of faces rippling in the heat
And from that nameless changing crowd
A sweet vibration seemed to fill the air
I stood astounded staring hard
At men with flowers resting in their hair
A sweet confusion filled my mind
Until I woke up only finding everything was just a dream
A dream unusual of its kind
That gave me peace and blew my mind
And now I'm hung up on a dream
They spoke with soft persuading words
About a living creed of gentle love
And turned the arm to sounds unheard
And showed me strangest clouded sights above
Which gentle touched my aching mind
And soothed the wanderings of my troubled brain
Sometimes I think I'll never find
The party's over
Don't break it
Gradually through on us
Shows us
How we were before
Why we waited
Been so lonely
Continually lone to be
Again
How we were before
And as you waited for me
We will be together
And as you've waited for me
I'll leave you again
Never ever
So remember we were lucky
Mercifully turned to be again
How we were before
And as you waited for me
We will be together
And as you've waited for me
I'll leave you again
Never ever
So remember we were lucky
Mercifully turned to be again
Girl, I know you?re not coming back anymore
So why, oh, why do I keep on watching the door?
I talk to you
As though you can hear what I say
But I?ll lose my mind
If I keep on acting this way
I?ve got to get a hold on myself
Got to make believe I don?t care
Got to go someplace
Find a brand new place
Got to get out and get somewhere
Got to get a hold on myself
Got to take what life has to give
Got to get on the track
And lay down and die
Got to get a hold on myself
Late at night I hear footsteps sound down the hall
And I tell myself that you?re coming back after all
Telephone rings but there?s no one on the line
No, no, no, when I stop and think
I know it?s all in my mind
I?ve got to get a hold on myself
Got to make believe I don?t care
Got to go someplace
Find a brand new place
Got to get out and get somewhere
Got to get a hold on myself
Got to take what life has to give
Got to get on the track
And lay down and die
