It's a little bit fUnny Lord, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but, boy, if I did
I'd buy a big mansion where we both could live
If, if, if I was a sculpture Lord, honey, but then again, no
(then again no, no)
Or a man who makes potions in a travelin' show
I know it's not much, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
You gave me a gift Lord, and I'm gonNA sing it for you
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
(this is your song)
It may be a quite, quite simple, but that's how it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
What I wrote down in words, words
How wonderful life is when you're in the world, world, world
If, if, (if), if I was on a rooftop
I'd kick off my shoes (kick off my shoes , kick my shoes off)
I'll write a few verses and then I get the blues
But the sun's been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you and people like me
I wanna, I wanna keep turnin' on
So excuse me, so excuse me
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do Lord
(these things I do Lord)
You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue
Anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
You've got the sweetest eyes, you've got the sweetest eyes
The clearest eyes I've ever seen, I hope you got back
I hope you, I hope you got back and tell everybody
That this is your song (this is your song)
It may be quite, quite simple, but now that's how it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
But I wrote down in words Lord, words
I'm doin' it for how wonderful it is when you're in the world, world, world
If, if, (if), if I sat upon a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes, oh yeah
(kick off my shoes, kick my shoes off)
I'll write a few verses and then I get the blues
But the sun's been quite, quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you, people like me
I wanna, wanna keep turnin' on, so escuse me, so escuse me
So escuse me forgetting, but these things I do
(these things I do Lord)
You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue, baby
And anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
You are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes
The sweetest eyes I've ever seen
I want you to go back, go back and and tell everybody
That Billy Paul's got a song (Billy Paul's got a song)
I'm, I'm gonna sit upon a, a rooftop and kick off my shoes
I'm gonna write it (write it), write it (write it), write it (write it)
I might come out with the Gospel (Gospel), the blues (blues),
The jazz (jazz), the rock and roll
I'm gonna, got to, got to write me a simple song for everybody
Because this is my song (this is my song)
It may be quite, quite simple but that's the way it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
What I wrote down in words, words
You come back, you try to try again, try again
Tell everybody that Billy Paul's got a song
(Billy Paul's got a song)
It may be quite, quite simple but that's how it's done, baby
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
what I wrote down in words
Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it ooooh
Baby, you're my sweetness
And I'm never gonna hurt you
Baby, you're my sweetness
And I'm never gonna let you down
Oh, no, not you, baby
After all the thing in life we've been through
I thank the Lord every day 'cause I'm blessed with you
I was lost in a world of pain and misery
Ooh, baby, I'm glad about your love
Ooh, baby, I'm proud about your love
Each day I love you more and more and more and more
You're the one I adore
Tell the world that you're mine
Baby, you're my sweetness
And I'm never gonna hurt you
Baby, you're my sweetness
And I'm never gonna let you down
Oh, no, not you, baby
You and me can build a world so complete
All we got to do is love each other so truthfully
You are my sunshine, you chase the clouds away
Ooh, baby, I'm proud about your love
Ooh, baby, I'm glad about your love
Come with me, let's walk arm in arm, arm in arm
Show the world that you belong to me
Baby, you're my sweetness
And I'm never gonna hurt you
Baby, you're my sweetness
And I'm never gonna let you down
Baby, you're my sweetness
And I'm never gonna hurt you
Baby, you're my sweetness
And I'm never gonna let you down
When love is new
Every day's a new sensation
When love is new
You thrill with infatuation
When love is born
(When it's born)
It's so warm, soft and tender
(So warm, soft)
Everybody's willing to surrender
When love is new
(When love is new, when it's new)
Don't let our love grow old
'Cause funny things happen
Then that love gets cold
So let's me and you make a pact
A promise to each other
For as long as we live
Long as we love, let's always
Always keep our love brand new

Loving you forever

Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)
(repeat to fade):
Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo wo wo).
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson,
Heaven holds a place for those who pray (Hey hey hey, hey hey hey).
We'd like to know
A little bit about you
For our files.
We'd like to help you learn
To help yourself.
Look around you. All you see
Are sympathetic eyes.
Stroll around the grounds
Until you feel at home.
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo wo wo).
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson,
Heaven holds a place for those who pray (Hey hey hey, hey hey hey).
Hide it in a hiding place
Where no one ever goes.
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes.
It's a little secret,
Just the Robinsons' affair.
Most of all, you've got to hide it
from the kids.
Coo coo ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo wo wo).
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson,
Heaven holds a place for those who pray (Hey hey hey, hey hey hey).
Sitting on a sofa
On a Sunday afternoon,
Going to the candidates' debate,
Laugh about it,
Shout about it,
When you've got to choose,
Every way you look at it, you lose.
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you (Woo woo woo).
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson?
Come on, come on, let's make a baby
Oh, baby, come on, come on

Someone's knockin' at the door,
somebody's ringin' the bell
Someone's knockin' at the door,
somebody's ringin' the bell
Do me a favour open the door and let 'em in.
Sister Suzie, brother John, Martin Luther,
Phil and Don, Brother Michael, auntie
Gin, open the door and let 'em in.
Someone's knockin' at the door,
somebody's ringin' the bell
Someone's knockin' at the door,
somebody's ringin' the bell
Do me a favour open the door and let 'em in.
Sister Suzie, brother John, Martin Luther, Phil and Don, ...
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Poor little, sad little blue bluesette
Dont you cry, dont you fret,
You can bet one lucky day you'll waken,
and your blues will be foresaken,
Some lucky day lovely love will come your way.
If there is love in your heart to share,
Dear Bluesette don't despair
Some blue boy is waiting just like you'
To find a someone to be true to,
Two loving arms you can nestle in to stay.
Get set, Bluesette,
True love is coming,
Your lonely heart soon will be humming.
Pretty little Blusette,
Musn't be a mourner,
Have you heard the news yet,
Love's 'round the corner.
Love wrapped in rainbows and tied with pink ribbons
To make your next springtime
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing
Or maybe we just stopped trying
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it, too
Still I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
Everything must change
nothing stays the same
everyone must change
no one stays the same
the young become the old
and mysteries do unfold
cause that's the way of time
nothing and no one goes unchanged
there are not many things in life
you can be sure of
except rain comes from the clouds
sun lights up the sky
and hummingbirds do fly
winter turns to spring
a wounded heart will heal
but never much too soon
everything must change
the young become the old
and mysteries do unfold
cause that's the way of time
nothing and no one goes unchanged
there are not many things in life
you can be sure of
except rain comes from the clouds
sun lights up the sky
and butterflies do fly
rain comes from the clouds
sun lights up the sky
and music
and music
No I can't forget this evening
or your face as you were leaving
but I guess that's just the way the story goes
you always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
yes it shows
No I can't forget tomorrow
when I think of all my sorrow
when I had you there but then I let you go
and now it's only fair that I should let you know
what you should know
I can't live
if living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
if living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
No I can't forget tomorrow
when I think of all my sorrow
when I had you there but then I let you go
and now it's only fair that I should let you know
what you know
I can't live
if living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
if living is without you
I can't live

Thanks for saving my life
For picking me up, dusting me off
Making me feel like I'm living again
(Like I'm living again)
I'm so glad I ran into you
If I hadn't seen you
I would have been through
I was low as low could go
Could not stand anymore
Oh, I could never, never
Never, never repay you
I'm so grateful for all the things
You've done for me
Especially listening to my problems
Then saving me from misery
I just wanna say, thank you, baby, for saving my life
For picking me up, dusting me off
Making me feel like I'm living again
(Like I'm living again)
I'm so glad you came along
You stopped me from singing
That sad, sad song
You're the one who erased the pain
My life would never be the same
You're the very one, that only one
That I've been waiting for
I wanna thank you
For listening to all of my problems
And being my shelter
In and out of the storm
I just wanna say, thank you, baby, for saving my life

(For saving this man)
For picking me up, dusting me off
(Don't you understand, what you're doing to me)
Thank you for saving my life
(We both hooked up, we played together)
For picking me up, dusting me off
(I can't live, I can't live without you, babe)
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't you, didn't you save me
Thank you for saving my life
I see you sittin' there all alone
Crying your eyes out
While everything's going wrong
You know there's gonna be
A whole lot of trouble in your life
Listen to me, get up off your knees
'Cause only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Hey, you gotta be strong
You gotta hold on
I said don't give up, no don't
I said don't go around
With your head looking down
Dont you let'em make you feel like a clown
There's a lot of opportunity
Out there just waiting for you
But you'll never succeed if you've given up
And say your life is through
Listen this minute what I'm tellin' you
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
I Hey, you gotta be strong
Gotta hold on

You gotta keep goin' on
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Weak fall by the wayside
You gotta be a man
You gotta take a stand
Get up, set your body in motion
You knnw the strong survive
Wake up and get your education
So you can keep your family alive
Get away from negative situations
It can only bring you a lot of frustrations
'Cause only the strong survive
Me and Mrs.Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
We meet every day at the same cafe
Six-thirty and no one knows she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the juke box plays our favorite songs
Me and Mrs.Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
We gotta be extra careful
That do we don't build our hopes up too high
Because she's got her own obligations
And so, and so, do I
Me and Mrs.Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now
Well, it's time for us to be leaving
It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
Now she'll go her way snd I'll go mine
Tomorrow we'll meet
The same pklace, the same time
Me and Mrs.Jones
We got a thing goin'on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
July, July, July, July
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
July, July, July, July
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
I never thought the day would come
When I would be so sure
Of who I am and exactly where I'm going
I never thought the day would come
When I'd be knowing truth like I'm knowing
Lucky, lucky me
I'm as happy as I can be
But I was able to find that right road
That makes me be on time
'Cause I feel like [Feel like]
I was just born, just born, just born again
July, July, July, July
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
July, July, July, July
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
Deep down inside I guess I knew
That all I needed was someone
To come along to show me the way
I can't explain how much I got
Out of all the things I hear you say
Lucky, lucky me [Lucky me]
I'm as happy as I can be
But I was able to find that right road
That makes me be on time
'Cause I feel like [Feel like]
I was just born, just born, born again
July, July, July, July
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
July, July, July, July
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
January, February, March, April, May, June, then comes July
That's when it all started, when it all started in July
I was born, I was born, I was born, I was born, born again in July
I found love was happenin', I found love was happenin' in July
Our love sticks under the weather, our love stick under the weather in
July
I was able to pick the right road, I was able to pick the right road in
July
I knew exactly where I was goin', I knew exactly where I was goin' in
July
Summertime, summertime, summertime, summertime, then July
It's going ???dead beat, it's going dead??? than July
July, July, July, July
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
July, July, July, July
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
July, July, July, July
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
July, July, July, July
Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
Haven’t you noticed
A breakdown in the family tie
Just not as strong as it once was
Every time I see it weaken, it makes me want to cry
Oh, what a shame (Oh, what a shame)
‘Cause another home’s falling apart
Oh, what a shame (Oh ,what a shame)
Another group of broken hearts
It’s not a secret
We all know that it’s slipping away
Don’t let it go, no, don’t you let it go
It is the only true foundation on which we can survive
Don’t be afraid (Don’t be afraid)
‘Cause you got to take it for a stand
Don’t be afraid (Don’t be afraid)
You’ve got to try to understand
Bring the family back, bring it back together
Bring the family back
Bring the family back, bring it back together
Together
Bring the family back, bring it back together
Bring the family back
There’s also the children
The future’s quickly comin’ their way
How it will be
Oh, tell me how do you think it will be
Will they all join hands together and live in harmony
Oh, what a shame (Oh, what a shame)
If we don’t get together fast
Oh what a shame (Oh what a shame)
How much longer will the whole thing last
Bring the family back, bring ‘em back together
Bring the family back
Bring the family back, bring the family back and together
Bring the family back and live in harmony
Bring the family back
Bring back family unity
Bring the family back, bring ‘em back together
Bring the family back
Bring the family back together, bring ‘em family back
Bring ‘em back together
Bring the family back and live in harmony
Bring the family back
Bring the family back, where’s the unity
Bring the family back
Bring the old folks, the young folks, and all folks together
Just bring the people back
Bring the family back (Bring the family back, bring it backtogether)
(Bring the family back)
Bring the family back
Bring the family back
Bring the family back
Bring it all the time together
Bring the family back together (Bring the family back, bring itback together)
(Bring the family back)
(Bring the family back, bring it back together)
(Bring the family back)
