There was a moon out in space
But a cloud drifted over it's face
You kissed me and went on your way
The night we called it a day
I heard the song of the spheres
Like a minor lament in my ears
I hadn't the heart left to pray
The night we called it a day
Soft through the dark
The hoot of an owl in the sky
Sad though his song
No bluer was he than I
The moon went down stars were gone
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
There wasn't a thing left to say
The night we called it a day
There wasn't a thing left to say
Ooo ooo ooo yeah
La la la, la la la la la la la (x2)
A girl I wanted all my life
I asked her to be my wife
She said yes (she said yes)
I didn't have money for a wedding band
Still she went & took my hand
She said yes (she said yes)
La la la, la la la la la la la (x2)
Her folks had some other plan
For her to marry another man
She said no (she said no, she said no)
They didn't particularly care for me
But our love was meant to be
'Cause she said yes (she said yes, she said yes)
La la la, la la la la la la la (x2)
Ooo yeah
(Instrumental)
Listen, I'm thankful for love I've found
Thank you for changin' my life around
Thank you for the love you gave me day by day, oh
Other love has come & gone
But our love seems to linger on
'Cause she said yes, oh yes she did (she said yes)
While other loves have faded away
Our love grows stronger day by day
'Cause she said yes (she said yes)
(Repeat & fade):
Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I found a love, I found a love, I found a love
That I feel, whoa yeah,
I found a kiss
I just wanna tell ya that I can't resist
I found a love that I need, whoa, yeah
And I wanna call her now, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it will be, there's one thing
I wanna say right here, the way the woman walk
You set my little soul back, the ways you talk
She my heart desire and, oh, believe me,
I figured I would die if sometime I would call
Her in the midnight hour, yeah, yeah, OOW!

Yeah, yeah, OOW!
See, the sun is shinin' hot up above
Rain will follow you when you're in love
You may wonder, I get lost in the tide
But think of me darlin', when you're hurtin' inside
Call my name and I'll be there
And I'll follow you everywhere
Call my name and I'll be there
And I'll follow you everywhere
Nights won't ever get too dark

Listen, girl; hear what I say
How long do you think you can go on this way?
CHORUS:
You know you can't stand alone no matter how you try
Got to have somebody to love, goes for you & I

All of a sudden you can't stand alone
Love brought you heartaches sometime, so wrong, yeah
Don't let it turn your heart into stone
I love you, baby; this you can recognize, yeah
I see a spark of love deep in your eyes

Love brought you misery; that may be true
But that is something that we all go through

You know you can't stand alone no matter how you try
Got to have somebody to love, goes for you & I

Yes, sometimes it seems that I don't care
Don't worry 'bout it, baby, don't you never, never, never fear

(That's a man's way)
Of lovin' you, yes, it is, yes, it is, child

But that's a man's way, oh, that's a man's way
(That's a man's way)
Of lovin' you, yes, it is, yes, it is, child
If I had to leave you and go away, you know what?
I'd write you a letter each and every day
One more thing, I know you get so tired of me callin' you on the phone
But that's a man's way of sayin' you just don't wanna be all alone
If you give me a million things to do, you know what?
I'd do them all, baby, just to get back home to you
That's a man's way, oh, that's a man's way

And if you sink into misery, you can always count on me,
Mr Magic, Magic, Magic Man, I'll understand, woah I'll understand

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
and whatever comes our way
Ya darling you could make it happen
Take the world in a loving embrace
Fire all of your guns and once in
Explode into space
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
and the feeling that I'm under
Ya darling you could make it happen
Take the world in a loving embrace
Fire all of your guns and once in
Explode into space
'cause you're a true nature child

Born to be wild

Was born in a funk factory, born in a funk factory
Workin' hard like a slave, y'all, comin' up short on my
pay, y'all
Some men are stockers, came on the go, yeah
But all I will see in my lifetime, y'all
Was a bass, a drum, my funky home
(Born in a funk factory, born in a funk factory)
Born in a funk factory, workin' like a slave
Comin' up short on my pay
Somebody tell me what's goin' on wrong
All I've known to do in my lifetime
Was to scream, gripe, grump & groan
(Born in a funk factory, born in a funk factory)
(Instrumental)
Some men are stockers, came on the go, yeah
But all I will see in my lifetime, y'all
Was a bass, a drum, my funky home
(Born in a funk factory, born in a funk factory)
Oh I'm gonna tell you
I'm satisfied, y'all, I'm satisfied, y'all
(Repeat & fade):
The night was clear and the moon was yellow
and the leaves came tumbling down
I was standing on the corner when i heard my bulldog bark
he was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin' in the dark
it was stagger lee and billy, two men who gambled late
stagger lee threw seven, billy swore that he threw eight
Stagger lee told billy, "i can't let you go with that"
"you have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat"
stagger lee started off goin' down that railroad track
he said "i can't get you billy but don't be here when i come back"
Stagger lee went home and he got his forty-four
said "i'm goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt i owe"
stagger lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door
he said "nobody move" and he pulled his forty-four
Stagger lee shot billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad
It's too late (too late, too late)
Said it's too late, yes it is (too late)
My love is gone away to stay (too late)
Don't you know it's too late now
Listen, children, I wanna tell you this
It's too late to cry (too late to cry)
It's too late to cry now (too late to cry)
My love is gone away, yes she has (too late)
Wo wo (too late) she has (too late)
(spoken:)
I just guess that you're wonderin' why I always sing a sad song
But you see, I had a woman who was very good to me
& I can remember the times she used to sit down & tell me these words:
Said, 'Pickett, I want you to know I love you from the bottom of my heart
& whatever you need, I don't want you to go to your mother, your father, your sister or your brother
I'll be a leadin' pull when you're fallin' down
When all your money's gone, I want you to know you can count on me'
But I didn't appreciate that woman then
You know what? I had to run & chase after every little girl around town
So finally one day I got home & I found my little girl gone
& people, you know it hurt me so bad (ha ha) I had to hang my little head & cry
Then I began to read the letter she left for me layin' there; it read like this, children
It's too late, she's gone, oh (she's gone)
'It's too late I'm gone away' (she's gone)
Ah yeah (too late) don't you know it, children (too late)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Say it one more time (too late) listen (too late)
I wanna hear you understand what I'm talkin' about (too late)
All my life I've been a poor boy, it's been hard to get a dime
Everything I got I had to pay for it on time but that's all right
Long as I got a toe hold, long as I got a piece of you
Long as I got a toe hold, I can make it through
Look here, I said I went to see a doctor, baby, talk about his malnutrition
Now I don't try to be a fat man, I gotta look about my ambition, look here
Long as I got a toe hold, long as I got a piece of you
Long as I got a toe hold, I can make it through
A li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, toe hold
A li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, toe hold, hey
So baby, if you're with me, let the whole world be against me
I don't expect to ever get rich, I'm doin' fine, me diggin' a ditch, that's all right
Long as I got a toe hold, long as I got a piece of you
Long as I got a toe hold, I can make it through
Let me tell you baby, I sure know how to please a woman, yes I do now
Now I can make you feel better than you've ever felt before, yes I can now
Now when I start lovin', women hate for me to stop
A whole lot of men envy me for what I've got
Ow! I'm a man & a half; that's what I am, a man & a half
Now look here
When I walk, the birds & the bees stop lovin' & look at me now, look here
When I talk, the whole wide world listen to my words, huh
I'm a man like any other man, I say without a doubt
Wow, what makes me different is the hand that knocks women out
I'm a man & a half; I'm trapped up in one; no brash, just facts
Only once in a lifetime a man like me comes along
Shakespeare wrote poems about me even before I was born
Thunder gave me a lift & lightnin' knocked on your door
Your chance in a lifetime, woman, might not have a number
To be loved by a man and a half, hey that's what I am, look here
A man, a camel went across the desert & there was no one in sight
Let me tell y'all one thing: the camel died tryin'
But your man & a half is here lovin' you tonight
Good God, I'm a man & a half, a man (shouting)
Now everybody's talkin' about all the brand new dances
But I've got 3 that I'm gonna do for you, lord have mercy
I'm gonna start with a dance now, baby, called the boogaloo
You know that one, don't you?
Everybody's groovin', baby; it's gonna move you too
Lord have mercy, get it! Get it, get it, get it, get it, ow!
Gonna make you feel all right
I'm gonna move up & down & do the skate, look here baby
& when you get that feelin', baby, you're gonna look real great
Lord have mercy
Oh help me! Help me! Ow! Get it, get it, get it, get it, ow!
Wait a minute, everybody, look a-here! I've got a brand new dance
The whole wide world now, baby, is doin' the shing-a-ling
You've heard about it, aint you?
When you move your hips, lord have mercy, & raise your hand
Look here now, baby
Shake it from side to side, baby; that's the shing-a-ling
Oh I like that one; now get it, get it, hey! Lord have mercy
Do the shing-a-ling now, baby; wow ow!
Get it, get it, get it, lord have mercy, do the shing-a-ling, etc.
I got to have all your love, night and day

Way deep down in my heart I know I've done the best I
Could. That's why I know that one of these days,
it won't be long, you'll come
Walkin' through that same door (I'll hurry home).
And I can imagine in my mind
That these are the words that you'll be sayin'.
I still love you, always thinkin' of you
And I still love, love, always thinkin' of you
Don't wait too lo-o-ong, just-a pick up your phone
And I-I-I'll hurry home (I'll hurry home)
Where you lead me, you know I'll follow, yes, I will
Whatever you tell me, ah, that's what I'll do, all right

But I've come a long, such a long long way
Let me tell y'all by the stars above
Let me say it one more time, by the stars above
I used to look here & there, here, there, everywhere
One day that woman walked into my life, oh yeah

With lots of lovin & secure, oh yes she did
& she gave me somethin' to live for

I've come a long (long) long way (long way)
Ah sometime I'm gonna cry tears of water
I need your sweet, sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind every hour of the day
Without your sweet, sweet inspiration
The lonely hours of the day just don't go my way.
A woman in love needs sweet inspiration
And honey that's all I ask
You know that's all I ask from you
I gotta have your sweet inspiration, yeah
You know there just ain't no telling
What a satisfied woman might do.
When you call "Baby", baby
Is such a sweet inspiration
And when you call me "Darling", darling
Sets my heart a-skating
And if I'm out in the rain, baby
And in a bad situation
You know I just reach back in my mind
And there I find your sweet, sweet inspiration.
Inspiration, yeah, oh, what a power
And I got the power every hour of the day
I need your sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet inspiration, yeah
To go on living, to keep on giving this way.
I need your sweet, sweet inspiration
And I got the power every hour of the day
I need your sweet, sweet inspiration
I read your letter
Tears filled my eyes
All of your promises failing
Nothing but lies
So I turned your photograph over face to the wall
And when I dim the light in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall tonight
Tears I can't hide
Tears that I tried to keep deep down inside
Tears from the love that's gone beyond recall
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
I'm going to pray tonight baby
Hoping you will hear
Maybe you'll right the wrong and dry each tear
I'll sit alone tonight hoping you will call
And when I dim the light in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall tonight
Tears I can't hide
Tears that tried to keep deep down inside
Tears from the love that's gone beyond recall
And when I dim the light in my room tonight

Last time I saw him, he was sittin' down by the dock of the bay
I looked around for Otis & he was gone
I looked around & my friend Otis Redding was gone

& that makes me know I've got to leave here one day
But I don't worry about it, for you know why
I've got friends, oh yes I have, waitin' on me
You know what they're gonna say when I get there?
They will say, 'Come on in, Pickett. Sit down & rest awhile
I know you're tired; I know you came from a mighty long ways
I know you've had hard times, I know you had to give up life for long
Come on in, don't worry no more, we will stand by you, we will never let you down
Come on in, come on in, sit down, sit down'
