I'm your friend you can talk to me
I read your fate I see misery
'Cause the one you love
has left you dry
Don't start believin'
that you're gonna die
Just pick your heart up off the
floor and try, try again
You'll find
Better love next time baby
don't give up and
I know you're gonna find
better love next time baby
Someone will be waiting down the line
with better love, better love
better love, better love next time
Sometimes it's better to let it all go
I've been there and I think I should know
So have a good cry, wash out your heart
If you keep it inside it'll tear you apart
Sometimes you lose but you're
gonna win if you just, if you just
keep hanging in
You'll find
Better love next time baby
don't give up and
I know you're gonna find
better love next time baby
Someone will be waiting down the line
with better love, better love

So we never have to be alone
And we keep getting richer but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the rollin stone

You're looking kinda lonely girl
Would you like someone new to talk to, ah yeh alright
I'm feeling kinda lonely too
If you don't mind can I sit down here beside you
Ah yeah alright
If I seem to come on too strong
I hope that you will understand
I say these things 'cause I'd like to know
If you're as lonely as I am
And if you mind
Sharing the night together, oh yeah
Sharing the night together, oh yeah, sharing the night.
We could bring in the morning girl
If you want to go that far
And if tomorrow find us together
Right here the way we are
Would you mind
Sharing the night together, oh yeah
Sharing the night together, oh yeah, sharing the night.
Would you like to dance with me and hold me
You know I want to be holding you
Ah yeah alright 'cause I like feeling like I do
And I see in your eyes
That you're liking it too, ah yeah alright
Like to get to know you better
Is there a place where we can go
Where we can be alone together
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
But I loved her so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
We’d laugh and we’d sing and do funny things
And it made our hearts glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
So why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere child of sixteen
I’ve aged a year since then
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
Ooh, with eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
So why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere child of sixteen
I’ve aged a year since then
Now she was only sixteen, only sixteen
Ooh, but I loved that girl so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Yes, she was too young to fall in love
And I, I was too young
Storms never last, do they, baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
And you make the sun wanna shine
You followed me down so many roads, baby
I picked wild flowers and sung you soft, sad songs
And every road we took, lord knows our search was for the truth
And the clouds brewing now won't be the last
But storms never last, do they, baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
And you make the sun wanna shine
Storms never last, do they, baby
Bad times, bad times, the bad times all pass
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
You make the sun wanna shine
Storms never last, do they, baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
Who’s gonna water my plants
Who’s gonna patch my pants
And who’s gonna give me the chance
To feel brand new
Who’s gonna iron my shirts
Who’s gonna kiss where it hurts
And who needs a man when he flirts
The way I do
Who, if not you
Who, if not you
Who, if not you
Tell me who, if not you
Who’s gonna wake me on time
Who’ll smile and say I look fine
And who’s gonna stay on my mind
The whole day through, girl
Who’s gonna see that I’m fed
And who’s gonna want me in bed
But who’ll watch TV instead
Because I do
Who, if not you
Out of all of the nights I remember
Of all of the loves I recall
There are many who live in my memory
But you were the sweetest of all
Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe
Wasn't it sweetest of all
I wasn't your first love, I wasn't your last
But wasn't it sweetest of all
Sometimes I still think about you
Sometimes I wish that you'd call
And sometimes I feel like you’re lying here with me
And it's still the sweetest of all
So keep your goodbyes in your pocket
You ain't going nowhere at all
Your memory is staying here with me
Cos you were the sweetest of all
Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe
Wasn't it sweetest of all
Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you
Weren’t we sweetest of all
Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe
Wasn't it sweetest of all
Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you
Wasn't it sweetest of all
Weren’t we sweetest of all, babe
Weren’t we sweetest of all
Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you
No-one knows my lady when she’s lonely
No-one sees the fantasies and fears my lady hides
There are those who share her love and laughter
But no-one hears my lady when she cries, but me
No-one hears my lady when she cries
And when she cries it makes you wanna run
And chase the sun and bring it back
To brighten up a corner of her dark and troubled skies
When she cries
You may have seen her lying in your lamplight
And if you’ve heard her whispered words it comes as no surprise
So be the one she shares her secret smiles with
But send me back my lady when she cries for me
My lady’s gonna need me when she cries
And when she cries it makes you wanna run
And chase the sun and bring it back
So bring me back my lady when she cries for me
Walk right in, sit right down, baby let your hair hang down
Walk right in, sit right down, baby let your hair hang down
Everybody's talking 'bout a new way of walking
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down, baby let your hair hang down
Walk right in, sit right down, daddy let your mind roll on
Walk right in, sit right down, daddy let your mind roll on
Everybody's talking 'bout a new way of walking
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down, daddy let your mind roll on
Walk right in, sit right down, honey let your hair hang down
Walk right in, sit right down, honey let your hair hang down
Everybody's talking 'bout a new way of walking
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down, honey let your hair hang down
Walk right in, sit right down, baby let your hair hang down
Walk right in, sit right down, daddy let your mind roll on
Come on over here my brand new baby
You look so alone on a night so fine
Won’t you take your trembling lips
And kiss me one more time
Yeah, you’re gonna do just fine
Oh, that didn’t hurt too bad now, did it
That shouldn’t make you sad
Cos it’s only love you’re running from
That didn’t hurt too bad now, did it
I’m gonna handle you like a baby
I’m gonna love you like you never knew
It’ll be everything and more
Than you ever thought it could
You’re gonna be so good
Oh, that didn’t hurt too bad now, did it
That shouldn’t make you sad
Cos it’s only love you’re running from
That didn’t hurt too bad now, did it
Wasn’t it everything and more
Than you ever thought it could
Ooh baby, you were so good
Oh, that didn’t hurt too bad now, did it
That shouldn’t make you sad
Cos it’s only love you’re running from
That didn’t hurt too bad now, did it
That didn’t hurt too bad now, did it
That shouldn’t make you sad
Cos it’s only love you’re running from
I guess the dance is over now
So you just curtsey and I’ll bow
And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne
And I’ll just take what’s left of me
Right back to where it used to be
And you’ll go sail your magic carpet
Far across the sky
I wish could have made it
More like the movies for you
Some pretty Technicolor way it’s never been
I’m sorry, when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins, did you girl
No, you never got to hear those violins, no
The castles that you built so high
Were just too steep for me to climb
And I guess these dirty streets of mine
Were just too rough for you
I wish I coulda helped you see
Just one of your sweet childhood dreams
But though I tried
I could not make not one of them come true
And I wish could have made it
More like the movies for you
Some pretty Technicolor way it’s never been
I’m sorry, when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins, did you girl
No, you never got to hear those violins
Oh I’m sorry, when I kissed you
You only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins
If you ever need me
Call me on your phone line
You've got my number if you ever want me
I’m your lifeline
And if you're ever lonely
I’m your love-line
If you ever feel sad
Need someone to hold you
when no one knows you or understands you
I do
Cos no one means as much, girl
As you do
Take your time, it’s just my heart you’re breaking
I don’t mind, though my whole world is shaking
I’ll be fine
I’m sitting by my window
Wondering where you are now
If ever it should rain
Just remember there’s a rainbow
Cos someone thinks about you
Wherever you go
Take your time, it’s just my heart you’re breaking
I don’t mind, though my whole world is shaking
I’ll be fine, I’m your lifeline
If you ever need me
Call me on your phone line
You've got my number if you ever want me
I’m your lifeline
And if you're ever lonely
I’m your love-line
Take your time, it’s just my heart you’re breaking
I don’t mind, though my whole world is shaking
I’ll be fine, Baby I’m your love-line
Baby, I’m your love-line
Oh baby, I’m your lifeline
Baby, I’m your love-line
Mmm baby, I’m your lifeline
Knowing she's there
Makes it possible to live
Knowing she's there
Giving all she's got to give
And when the road got long
And the load got heavier
She'd whisper, "Babe, I'm right here with ya"
And made it easier to bear, knowing she's there
Knowing she's there
When I reach out in my sleep
Knowing she's there
To hold me when I'm weak
And when the nights got cold
And the days got drearier
She'd whisper, "Babe, I'm right here with ya"
And made it easier to bear, knowing she's there
Why did it make me take the lady's love for granted?
How could I live so deep in a woman and never notice a change?
Why doesn't any love ever go the way you planned it?
And why doesn't any woman ever stay the same?
Now knowing she's there
Instead of being here with me
Just knowing she's there
Giving him what she gave me
And it ain't that I can't live without it
But every time I think about it
Something inside me screams, something inside me burns
Oh, Jesse, why have you come?
I thought you would be kind enough to let me cry alone
Just now as I've learned to live without your love
You walked back into my life again
Let it die, oh, Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came?
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain
I suppose you've come to play a game
Come to deal the cards in a game I cannot win
But no matter how they fall, the hearts are always in your hand
And I am forced to fold once again
Let it die, oh, Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came?
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain
Oh, let it die, oh, Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came?
Your phone’s gonna ring in the darkness of night
And you’ll rise from the bed when you leave
And you’ll answer, hello, and from out of the past
A voice you once loved is gonna say
I don’t wanna be alone tonight
I don’t wanna be alone
And I had to call someone who used to care
I don’t wanna be alone tonight
I don’t wanna be alone
So say that you still want me and I’ll be there
Maybe some day you’ll lie there and look at the rain
Feeling afraid and alone
Feeling a hunger you just can’t explain
And you’ll be the voice on the phone
I don’t wanna be alone tonight
I don’t wanna be alone
And I had to call someone who used to care
I don’t wanna be alone tonight
I don’t wanna be alone
So say that you still want me and I’ll be there
I don’t wanna be alone tonight
I don’t wanna be alone
And I had to call someone who used to care
I don’t wanna be alone tonight
I don’t wanna be alone
I couldn't believe the temptation that came with you
Oh I never knew
I couldn't believe the amazing things that I would do
Oh when it came to you
But I believe it now when I put my arms around you
There ain't no doubt about it when I lay my hands upon you
I believe, I believe
I couldn't believe another pretty face like you have
Hey could lay me out
I couldn't believe how easily you broke me
And I've been around
But I believe it now when I put my arms around you
There ain't no doubt about it when I lay my hands upon you
I believe, I believe
No matter where else I go, no matter who else I hold
You better keep it intact
'Cause I'm coming on back to you
Coming on back to you
I couldn't believe the temptation that came with you
Oh I never knew
I couldn't believe, the amazing things that I would do
Oh when it came to you
But I believe it now when I put my arms around you
There ain't no doubt about it when I lay my hands upon you
I believe, I believe
I believe it now, I couldn't believe
I believe it now, I couldn't believe
I believe it now, I couldn't believe
Ouga Chaka ouga! ....
I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me.
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me.
When you hold me
In your arms so tight,
You let me know,
Everythings alright, ahahah
I'm hooked on a feeling,
I'm high on believing,
That your in love with me.
Lips as sweet as candy.
Their taste stays on my mind.
Girl, you keep me thirsty for another cup of wine.
I got it bad for you girl,
But I don't need a cure,
I'll just stay addicted, If I can endure
All the good love, when we're all alone
Keep it up girl, yeah you turn me on.
I'mmm, I'mmm Hooked on a feeling.
I'm high on believing that your in love with me.
All the good love, when we're all alone
Keep it up girl, yeah you turn me on.
Ahaha I'm hooked on a feeling,
I'm high on believing,
That your in love with me.
I'm hooked on a feeling,
I'm high on believing,
That your in love with me.
I say I'm hooked on a feeling,
And I'm high on believing,
That your in love with me.
To think that I’m the kind of guy whoever could have kept her
Would be taking too much credit on myself
And seeing us together you just knew that she'd look better
With somebody else
And now she's gone, no-one's surprised
Least of all not me
I always knew that I was just a comfort
In her time of need
Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need
Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need
You knew that we had plans for San Francisco in September
But I didn't see California in her eyes
And by the end of summer, someone made a better offer
You know, I’m not surprised
Just a quick goodbye, nobody's crying, no, nobody's crying
I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need
Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need
Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need
Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need
Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time
I gave her comfort in her time of need
Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time
(spoken)
I don't believe it
Don't touch me
Hey Ray, hey Sugar

(sung)
Well, we're big rock singers
We got golden fingers
and we're loved everywhere we go
(That sounds like us)
We sing about beauty
and we sing about truth
at ten-thousand dollars a show (Right)
We take all kinds of pills

Wanna see my picture on the cover (Stone)
Wanna buy five copies for my mother (Yes) (Stone) Wanna see my smilin' face

I got a freaky ole lady

I got my poor ole grey haired daddy
drivin' my limousine
Now it's all designed to blow our minds
but our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll getcha
when you get your picture
on the cover of the Rollin' Stone
(Rollin' stone)
Wanna see our pictures on the cover (Stone)
Wanna buy five copies for our mothers (Yeah) (Stone) Wanna see my smilin' face
on the cover of the Rollin' Stone
Hey (Sure enough)
I know how, rock and roll
Ah, that's beautiful
We got a lot of little teenage
blue eyed groupies who do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian Guru
who's teaching us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy
so we never have to be alone (No)
And we keep getting richer
but we can't get our picture
on the cover of the Rollin' Stone
(Rollin' Stone)
Wanna see my picture on the cover (Stone)

(We're beautiful fellows) (Stone)
Wanna see my smilin' face
On the cover of the Rollin Stone
(spoken)
I ain't kiddin' ya
we would make a beautiful cover
Fresh shot, right up front man
We have short time to stay
Our night is slipping far away
Caught up within bad memories
Our growth seems certain to decay
Now this feeling's so alive
But, as you or anything, we die
We die
Let's stay here for a while
Eyes so round and bright we gently smile
Live for the moment, not the past
When your body's had enough of me
and I'm laying flat out on the floor
When you think I've loved you all I can
I'm gonna love you a little bit more
Come on over here and lay by my side
I've got to be touchin' you
Let me rub your tired shoulders
the way I used to do
Look into my eyes and give me that smile
the one that always turns me on
And let me take your hair down
'cause we're stayin' up to greet the sun
Chorus
And when your body's had enough of me
and I'm laying flat out on the floor
When you think I've loved you all I can
I'm gonna love you a little bit more
Got to say a few things that have been on my mind
and you know where my mind has been
I guess I've learned my lessons
and now is the time to begin
So if you're feeling alright and you're ready for me
I know that I'm ready for you
We better get it on now
'cause we've got our whole life to live through
Dooley Jones was doomed since the day that he was born
All because his mama was Sadie Jones
Cruel words upon him ever since he was young
You ain't got no daddy, boy, you ain't no man's son
Children heard the facts at home
Talked them up in school
Teased him 'til his mind was bent and bruised
You ain't got no daddy Dooley Jones
Weight upon his shoulder
A thorn stuck in his soul
His body walks and talks
But his mind has no control
Dooley Jones, Dooley Jones
You're no man's son, you're no man's child
Spring time satisfaction
This infants heart is wild
Dooley walks the highways
Every day for miles
Babbling to birds flying by
Babbling to the birds as they fly by
Somewhere some man hides his eyes
'Cause Dooley is his child
Son of season's pleasure
Forever runnin' wild
Dooley Jones, Dooley Jones
You're no man's son, you're no man's child
Spring time satisfaction
This infants heart is wild
Dooley Jones, Dooley Jones
You're no man's son, you're no man's child
Spring time satisfaction
This infants heart is wild
Forever runnin' wild, oh Dooley
Forever runnin' wild, spring time satisfaction
Ever runnin' wild, forever runnin' wild
Years from now
I’ll want you years from now
And I’ll hold you years from now
As I love you tonight
You are my one true friend
Always my one true friend
And I’ll love you til life’s end
As I love you tonight
I know this world that we live in
Can be hard now and then
And it will be again
Many times we’ve been down
Still love has kept us together
The flame never dies
When I look in your eyes
The future I see
Wanting you years from now
And holding you years from now
And loving you years from now
As I love you tonight
I know this world that we live in
Can be hard now and then
And it will be again
Many times we’ve been down
Still love has kept us together
The flame never dies
When I look in your eyes
The future I see
Wanting you years from now
And holding you years from now
And loving you years from now
When you're in love
with a beautiful woman
it gets hard
When you're in love
with a beautiful woman
you know it's hard
Everybody wants her
Everybody loves her
Everybody wants to
take your baby home
When you're in love
with a beautiful woman
you watch your friends
When you're in love
with a beautiful woman
it never ends
You know that it's crazy
You want to trust her
Then somebody hangs up
when you answer the phone
When you're in love
with a beautiful woman
you go it alone
Maybe it's just an ego problem
problem is, I've been fooled before
By fair-weather friends
and faint-hearted lovers
And everytime it happens
it just convinces me more
When you're in love
with a beautiful woman
you watch her eyes
(you watch her eyes, you watch her eyes)
When you're in love
with a beautiful woman
you look for lies
(you look for lies, you look for lies)
Everybody tempts her
Everybody tells her
She's the most beautiful
woman they know
When you're in love
with a beautiful woman
you go it alone
When you're in love
with a beautiful woman
you watch your friends
(you watch your friends, you watch your friends)
(baby look out)
When you're in love
with a beautiful woman
you watch her eyes
(you watch her eyes, you watch her eyes)
(baby look out)
When you're in love
with a beautiful woman
you keep looking for lies
(you look for lies, you look for lies)
(baby look out)
I didn’t say don’t do it, babe
When she packed up to go
I didn’t say come back here, honey
And try with me once more
And when she asked me if I loved her
I just turned away
She’s gone and now I’m hearing
All the things I didn’t say
I didn’t say I’m sorry, babe
Cos half the fault was mine
I didn’t say we’ll work it out
Cos all we need is love and faith and time
I said if that’s the way you want it
I won’t stand in your way
She’s gone and now I’m hearing
All the things I didn’t say
I didn’t take her in my arms
And kiss away her tears
I didn’t say my life don’t mean a thing
If you ain’t here
I thought of all the many games
I’d be free to play
But all I do is listen to
The things I didn’t say
I didn’t say take off your coat
I’ll make some coffee and we’ll talk
I didn’t say the road away
Is such a long and lonely endless walk
I said goodbye, good luck and god bless you
Then she slipped away
And left me here to live with all
The things I didn’t say
And now I guess she’ll never hear
Before we begin, thank you
Thank you, oh thank you, thank you, thank you
I'm not a bad person, I don't drink and I don't kill
I've got no evil habits and I probably never will
I don't sing like Elvis Presley, I can't dance like Fred Astaire
But there's one thing in my favor, I'm a millionaire
(What, that's beautiful)
And I got more money than a horse has hairs
'Cause my rich old uncle died and answered all my prayers
But having all this money is gonna bring me down
If you ain't with me honey to help me spread it around
I could get myself a nose job, I could diet for a year
But I'll never be Robert Redford 'cause I'm much too fond of beer
Please don't misunderstand me, it's not love I'm trying to buy
It's just I got all this here money and I'm a pretty ugly guy
But I got more money than a horse has hairs
'Cause my rich old uncle died and answered all my prayers
But having all this money is gonna bring me down
If you ain't with me honey to help me spread it around
I don't mind if you love me for my money
If you love me for whatever else I've got
Except for all this stuff I'm alone in Fort Knox
I don't guess I'm doing all that hot
But I got more money than a horse has hairs
'Cause my rich old uncle died and answered all my prayers
But having all this money is gonna bring me down
If you ain't with me honey to help me spread it around
Hey you, come here babe, stop crying
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy
too busy to come to the phone
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's tryin'
to start a new life of her own
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's happy
so why don't you leave her alone

Please Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell her goodbye
Tell her goodbye...
I was sitting all alone
Watching people getting off with each other
They were dancing 'cross the floor
Turning movement back and forth, they were lovers
One more lonely night for me
I looked up, what did I see?
Sexy eyes, moving 'cross the floor
Couldn't want for more, sexy eyes
Sexy eyes, getting down with you
I wanna move with you, sexy eyes
I got up and took your hand
And we both began to dance to the music
Ooh, your magic cast a spell
It didn't take long 'til we fell and we knew it
No more lonely nights for me
This is how it's gonna be
Sexy eyes, moving 'cross the floor
Couldn't want for more, sexy eyes
Sexy eyes, getting down with you
I wanna move with you, sexy eyes
No more lonely nights for me
This is how it's gonna be
Sexy eyes, moving 'cross the floor
Couldn't want for more, sexy eyes
Sexy eyes, getting down with you
I wanna move with you, sexy eyes
Ooh, sexy eyes, getting down with you
I wanna move with you, sexy eyes
Sexy eyes, getting down with you
Mary, if you ever want me, I'll be right here
And Mary, I'm just the one to kiss away all your tears
And Mary, this thing we got is too good to throw away
So Mary, I'm gonna keep it right here and keep it warm every day
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The one that's too high for you to climb
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The rock that you wanted was right here all the time
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The one that's too high for you to climb
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The rock that you wanted was right here all the time
Mary I know that somewhere, I'm in your mind
Mary there's a mountain rising high behind
And Mary you think you can climb it, go ahead and try
But Mary you go up laughing but you always come down crying
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The one that's too high for you to climb
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The rock that you wanted was right here all the time
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
The one that's too high for you to climb
Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary
I park on a side street
Slide up the back stairs
Knock on the door and whisper `It's me'.
Step into the darkness
She waits in the shadows -
Oh she's so wild
willing and free.
I must be crazy comin' up here again.
She's got me comin' and goin' eatin' out of her hand.
I should be far
far away
But I'm layin' in her bed instead
And I'm in
In over my head
In over my head.
I'm in
In over my head
In over my head.
I've never tasted lips any hotter
And I'm gettin' deeper with every kiss.
I can't help it
I want it
I love how she loves it
I've got to keep comin' for more of this.
When I was a young boy
My grandpa said to me
"Little boy wish upon a star
Tell me what you wanna be"
"Would you like to be a lawyer?
Would the money appeal to you?
Grandpa wants to help you boy
Tell me what you want to do"
I wanna make the women tremble
I wanna make the little girls moan
I wanna play guitar 'til the sun comes up
And make love all day long
I wanna make the women tremble
I wanna make the little girls moan
I wanna play guitar 'til the sun comes up
And make love all day long
Now I am a grown man
I like just what I do
I love the pretty women, Lord
And the women love me too
Well, I've got my special woman
And that woman loves me true
She understands my situation
She knows what I gotta do
I gotta make the women tremble
I gotta make the little girls moan
I gotta play guitar 'til the sun comes up
And make love all day long
I seen another woman
And my body begins to ache
My knees begin to tremble
And my hands begin to shake
Now that woman makes me tremble
The little girl, she makes me moan
She plays with me 'til the sun comes up
And loves me all day long
I wanna make the women tremble
I wanna make the little girls moan
I wanna play guitar 'til the sun comes up
And make love all day long
I wanna make the women tremble
I wanna make the little girls moan
I wanna play guitar 'til the sun comes up
I was looking hard for love then I found you
And when I found you, I just couldn't help but fall
You wrapped your arms around me
Ran your magic up and down me
Now I can finally say I've got it all
But I can't say it came easy but it's easy since it came
Now I can finally just lay back and smile
And I realize it may not last forever, but I sure do like this style
'Cause it feels good having it real good for a while
I tried so hard I feel like I deserve it
To have someone I need as much as you
The feel for love you taught me
It comes each time you want me
And leaves my body soft when you are through
But I can't say it came easy but it's easy since it came
Now I can finally just lay back and smile
And I realize it may not last forever, but I sure do like this style
'Cause it feels good having it real good for a while
No, I can't say it came easy but it's easy since it came
Now I can finally just lay back and smile
And I realize it may not last forever, but I sure do like this style
'Cause it feels good having it real good for a while
Yes, it feels good having it real good
Yes, it feels good having it real good
Lay down, let's explore this tenderness between us
There ain't no-one around at all to see us
And baby would you mind if maybe you and I
Took a little time to find each other
Baby, we got all the time in the world
So why don't we just take it nice and slow
We got everything we need to plant a loving seed
And all the time we need to watch it grow
Stay down, stay at least until the fire stops burning
At least until the room has stopped its turning
And when the embers dying low we're lying in the afterglow
It'll be as sweet as anything we've ever known
Baby, we got all the time in the world
So why don't we just take it nice and slow
We got everything we need to plant a loving seed
And all the time we need to watch it grow
Baby, we got all the time in the world
So why don't we just take it nice and slow
We got everything we need to plant a loving seed
And all the time we need to watch it grow
Baby, we got all the time in the world
So why don't we just take it nice and slow
We got everything we need to plant a loving seed
I’ve got a couple more years on you babe, and that’s all
I’ve had more chances to fly and more places to fall
And it ain’t that I’m wiser
It’s only that I’m spent more time with my back to the wall
And I’ve picked up a couple more years on you baby, that’s all
I’ve walked a couple more roads than you babe, that’s all
And I’m tired of running while you’re only learning to crawl
And you’re heading somewhere
But I’ve been to somewhere and found it was nowhere at all
And I’ve picked up a couple more years on you baby, that’s all
Now saying goodbye, girl, don’t never come easy at all
But you’ve gotta fly cos you’re hearing them young eagles call
And some day when you’re older
You’ll smile at a man strong and tall
And you’ll say I’ve got a couple more years on you baby, that’s all
You’ll say I’ve got a couple more years on you baby, that’s all
I’ve had more chances to fly and more places to fall
And it ain’t that I’m wiser
It’s only that I’m spent more time with my back to the wall
(G. Bowen)
Do you sing in the shower, do you sing in the rain
Mama locks me in the closet and I sing, all day
Sexy energy, makes me charming when I sing
Sexy energy, makes me charming when I sing
Do you sing to your baby, do you sing at the zoo
Do you sing some forgotten tune, 'cause it means so much to you
Sexy energy, makes you charming when you sing
Sexy energy, makes you charming when you sing
Do you sing 'cause it feels good, do you sing with you feet
Do you sing when you're dancing, or even in your sleep
Sexy energy, makes you charming when you sing
Sexy energy, makes you charming when you sing
Sexy energy, makes you charming when you sing
Sexy energy, makes you charming when you sing
Sexy energy, makes you charming when you sing
Sexy energy, makes you...

Can't cuss I forgot about that, so I can't do that n' more.

And if I'm conversational

I used to be a prancer a one-eyed song and dancer
But eyes for true romance I didn't even try
I'd get 'em and forget 'em
But I never could stay with 'em
'Cause I thought my well of love had done run dry
But now it's bubblin' up
I feel it bubblin' up
And you can't hold down this true love
No matter what you do
Because it's bubblin' up
(you can hear it baby)
It's bubblin' up
And it'll soon be bubblin' over just for you
(Get that look off your face!)
I knew that when I met you
You love me and I let you
But I'd gladly bet you that it wouldn't last too long
But I had no way of knowing that this thing would keep on growin'
And now the feeling still is going strong
And yes it's bubblin' up
It's bubble ubblin' up
And you can't hold down this true love
No matter what you do
Because it's bubblin' up
(Surprise)
Bubble ubblin' up
And it'll soon be bubblin' over just for you
(This is unbelievable!)...
You make my pants want to get up and dance
You make my face want to grin
You make my knees want to kneel down say please
Honey won't you kiss me again
You make my pants want to get up and dance
You make my face want to grin
You make my knees want to kneel down say please
Honey won't you kiss me again
I was a lost and lonely man
Now I get through life the best I can
'Til the day I laid my eye on you
That day I decided what I had to do
You make my pants want to get up and dance
You make my face want to grin
You make my knees want to kneel down say please
Honey won't you kiss me again
Start the music strike up the band
I never done the boogie but I believe I can
Never met a girl half as sweet as you
Nobody's ever moved half the moves you do
You make my pants want to get up and dance
You make my face want to grin
You make my knees want to kneel down say please
Honey won't you kiss me again
You make my pants want to get up and dance
You make my face want to grin
You make my knees want to kneel down say please
(R. Snyder)
Tell me where is she going now, have I frightened her today
I'm a man, understand we've got funny ways
I flex my muscles every evening, and put on my big black hat
I'm insecure but I know for sure she don't know where I'm at
I'm a lamb, yes I am in a coat of armour
I'm a lamb, yes I am and I could never harm her
I'm a lamb, yes I am in a coat of armour
I'm a lamb, yes I am and I could never harm her
Last night I almost told her what I was thinking of
Then I backed away, I couldn't say that I really was in love
Instead I hurt her feelings in my usual way
Then she shut the door just a second before I had the chance to say
I'm a lamb, yes I am in a coat of armour
I'm a lamb, yes I am and I could never harm her
I'm a lamb, yes I am in a coat of armour
I'm a lamb, yes I am and I could never harm her
If you see my baby tell her to take a look
I dropped my guard, it was hard now I'm an open book
I'm a lamb, yes I am in a coat of armour
I'm a lamb, yes I am and I could never harm her
I'm a lamb, yes I am in a coat of armour
I'm a lamb, yes I am and I could never harm her
I'm a lamb, yes I am in a coat of armour
I'm a lamb, yes I am and I could never harm her
I'm a lamb, yes I am in a coat of armour
I'm a lamb, yes I am and I could never harm her
(S. Weedman)
Eyes bright in the midnight moon
Teeth flash, a blinding grin
Lock up the boys, tie down the girls
Love monster's on the loose again
Hot dreams in the midnight hour
Girls in the window beg please come in
Body hard, muscles strain
Love monster's on the loose again
All his lovers remember his hands
Driving them crazy like a Superman
For some it was enough, for some his teeth
And some just quiver and faint at the memory
From New York City to Hollywood
From Tokyo to New Orleans
Jungle drums had beat it out
Love monster's on the loose again
All his lovers remember his hands
Driving them crazy like a Superman
For some it was enough, for some his teeth
And some just quiver and faint at the memory
From New York City to Hollywood
From Tokyo to New Orleans
Jungle drums had beat it out
Love monster's on the loose again
Hot dreams in the midnight hour
Girls in the window beg please come in
Body hard, muscles strain
Love monster's on the loose again
All his lovers remember his hands
Driving them crazy like a Superman
For some it was enough, for some his teeth
And some just quiver and faint at the memory
Some just quiver and faint at the memory
Some just quiver and faint at the memory
(D. Locorriere/R. Elswit)
Everybody must be on drugs, in this town
Or maybe there's a strange new bug that's been going round
'Cause people are all smiling and waving as I go by
Everybody loves me but I don't know why
It used to be a kind face was a rarity
But now I got friends coming out both ends just to visit me
But it don't make sense 'cause my confidence has been destroyed
Everybody loves me but I'm paranoid
What ever happened to the cold cruel world I used to understand
When every road was paved with wet cement
Back when if I was hanging off a cliff you'd be walking on my hands
Somebody please tell me where all the good times went whooo
Every time I needed something, no-one'd ever give me nothing, it'd never fail
I had to sit right down and write myself a letter just to get mail
But now my ears are singing from the damn ding-a-linging of the telephone
Everybody loves me but I'm comin' home
What ever happened to the cold cruel world I used to understand
When every road was paved with wet cement
Back when if I was hanging off a cliff you'd be dancin' on my hands
Somebody please tell me where all the good times went whooo
Every time I needed something, no-one'd ever give me nothing, it'd never fail
I had to sit right down and write myself a letter just to get mail
But now my ears are singing from the damn ding-a-linging of the telephone
Everybody loves me but I'm comin' home
Sal from the valley loved Al from the alley and they lived in harmony
Sally played acoustic and Al, he played electric and they both took turns on lead
They sang it for their friends, again and again of the places they had been
But their favourite song of all was called up on the mountain
Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks, that's where you'll find me
Gonna leave this worrisome world and it's trouble behind me
Up on the mountain, where the light breaks, that's where I'll be
I've barely got time to finish this song so say farewell for me
Then into the valley came a girl from the galleys, with a strange and smilin' face
Al played acoustic and Sally played electric, and the gal played a hell of a bass
And when they sang their harmonies, the lady dipped right in
She soon moved in and lived with them up on the mountain
Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks, that's where you'll find me
Gonna leave this worrisome world and it's trouble behind me
Up on the mountain, where the light breaks, that's where I'll be
I've barely got time to finish this song so say farewell for me
Now Al from the alley is gone from the valley, a sadder but wiser man
And Sally from the valley and the gal from the galleys they live in mortal sin
Sal plays acoustic and the gal plays electric and sometimes they hold hands
Late at night you can hear them playing, up on the mountain
Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks, that's where you'll find me
Gonna leave this worrisome world and it's trouble behind me
Up on the mountain, where the light breaks, that's where I'll be
I've barely got time to finish this song so say farewell for me
Hot lickin' and finger pickin'
(H. Smith)
Thank the good lord for rock and roll
Thank the good lord for gin
Thank the good lord that women are made to satisfy their men
Thank the good lord for Black and Red and our good buddy Will
Thank the good lord most of all, for good old Bad Eye Bill
Bad Eye Bill from Maryville, got a yellow dog named Black
A blonde haired wife called Red, that runs around behind Bill's back
Bad Eye Bill and his buddy Will are known to take a drink or ten
Will would pick up an old guitar and Bad Eye Bill will sing
Thank the good lord for rock and roll
Thank the good lord for gin
Thank the good lord that women are made to satisfy their men
Thank the good lord for Black and Red and our good buddy Will
Thank the good lord most of all, for good old Bad Eye Bill
Bad Eye Bill got locked in jail, 'bout a week or so ago
Swore to the jailer and the preacher that the good lord had saved his soul
Bill went home found Black and Red in bed with his buddy Will
He shot 'em all and he started singin', and he's still singin' in jail
Thank the good lord for rock and roll
Thank the good lord for gin
Thank the good lord that women are made to satisfy their men
Thank the good lord for Black and Red and our late buddy Will
Thank the good lord most of all, for good old Bad Eye Bill
Thank the good lord for rock and roll
Thank the good lord for gin
Thank the good lord that women are made to satisfy their men
Thank the good lord for Black and Red and my late buddy Will
Thank the good lord most of all, for good old Bad Eye Bill

Lately, I've been givin' everything I've got to feeling alone
Baby you got me livin' one of them hard luck songs on the radio
Oh and I know, if I change the station I'll get the same song
Hope it ain't on the top too long
'Cause I really couldn't take it but they kept on playin' it
It's too unhappy and too close to home
I don't want to hear it but the singer keeps singin' that song
I gave you my love, you denied it
Then I gave you my life, but you wouldn't stay
And I hope you will return it to me someday
I gave you my love, you denied it
Then I gave you my life but you threw it away
And I hope you will return it to me someday
Some days I just sit around and kind of dream and watch the rain
Or I'll pick up some ol' magazine of yours that I forgot to throw away
Then I'll sleep a little or walk the floor, I'll smoke a lot more than I did before
I'll call somebody I used to know, just to try to stay away from that radio
'Cause I really can't take it when they keep on playin' it
It's so unhappy and so close to home
I don't want to hear it but the singer keeps singin' that song
I gave you my love, you denied it
Then I gave you my life, but you wouldn't stay
And I hope you will return it to me someday
I gave you my love, you denied it
Then I gave you my life but you threw it away
And I hope you will return it to me someday
I gave you my love, you denied it
Then I gave you my life but you threw it away...
(R. Sawyer/D. Locorriere)
I don't feel much like smilin' today
If nobody minds, I'm gonna let my mind slip away
'Cause I don't feel much like feelin' your way
All my dollar bills are turning into nickels and dimes
If things got worse I couldn't get more behind
So it don't matter anyway
It's one of them old days, you know the kind
It feels like my neck's hung on a clothes line
And someone's hanging me out to dry
And I don't feel much like smilin' today
Ain't takin' no chances
Of givin' no answers away
I was feeling alright when I went to bed last night
I woke up at ten and when it began was ready to fight
I've been thinking about drinking about a pint and I just might
'Cause I don't feel much like smilin' today
If nobody minds, I'm gonna let my mind slip away
If nobody minds, I'm gonna let my mind slip away
(arr. Dr. Hook)
Oh it ain't alright if you do downs, do downs, do downs
It ain't alright if you do downs, all the live long day
'Cause you'd wanna sleep all night, you'd wanna sleep all day
But I bet my money on a bag of reds, somebody do downs today
Try not to die, try not to die
Try not to die, not to die, not today
(D. Hickey)
He was a short order cook, and not too much to look at
And he traded in his foot, for a medal in the war
He loved a girl named Lila, in a bar across the highway
And you ought to see him smilin' at her comin' through the door
Lila always knew, she wasn't no ravin' beauty
She traded in her virtue to a trucker at sixteen
But she forgets to remember how he left her off in Denver
When she sees her Cooky smilin' as she opens up the screen
And he says
"Hi Lila, how about a cup of coffee?
Take a load off, take your shoes off, here's the sugar and the cream"
Cooky's been to war and Lila's been to Denver
And both of them are casualties of someone else's dream
Cooky pours the trucker's coffee, Lila serves the rigger's whiskey
And resists their invitations to go ridin' for a while
'Cause at a diner across the highway, on a shelf above the pastry
There's a cup reserved for Lila and the man who makes her smile
When he says
"Hi Lila, how about a cup of coffee?
Take a load off, take your shoes off, here's the sugar and the cream"
'Cause Cooky's been to war and Lila's been to Denver
And both of them are casualties of someone else's dream
Now as the nation rolls along, like a semi down the highway
Casting lonely broken bodies in the grass along the road
I've finally found a reason for believing in the future
Seeing Cooky and his Lila drinking coffee all alone
Oh yes
"Hi Lila, how about a cup of coffee?
Take a load off, take your shoes off, here's the sugar and the cream"
'Cause Cooky's been to war and Lila's been to Denver
And both of them are casualties of someone else's dream
Cooky's been to war, Lord and Lila's been to Denver
And both of them are casualties of someone else's dream
(Shel Silverstein)
(Hey play the guitars)
(I love to hear the guitars play)
(Oh I love to sing, I love to sing)
She was dancing when I seen her, in a Mexican cantina
In a neighbourhood they call La Zona Roja (hahahaha)
She had a child's smile, but she told me, in a while
It would take a lot of gold to get to know her (Oh)
Acapulco Goldie, donde did you go
You said you'd always hold me
But you run away with me Acapulco gold
(Oh that's a terrible thing you did)
I knew there's no-one cuter, then she said she was a puta
I said "What does puta mean?" Hmm and so she told me... (Oh no)
Then we went to meet a dealer, we smoked and drank tequila
Then the lights went out and I guess that's where she rolled me (just like)
Acapulco Goldie, por que did you go?
You said you'd always hold me
But you vamos away with me Acapulco gold
Yes, you run away with me Acapulco gold
(Oh Goldie)
(How can you do these things to me?)
(Where's my gun?)
(Who took my gun?)
(On no, I don't feel good)
(I don't feel good babe)
(Start the guitars)
(Start the guitars)
(Shel Silverstein & Jeffrey Comanor)
I'm gonna throw my grass out the window
Crumple up my papers too
Give away my speed, Cause all I'm gonna need
Is just a little bit of love from you
And we'll be makin' it natural
Ain't it just about time
That old stuff I was so keen on
I no longer have to lean on
Cause your love's enough to keep me high
Now if any you heads want some Panama red
All you gotta do is to reach out your hand
I'll trade my stash for just a little bit of cash
To buy a simple golden wedding band
And we'll be makin' it natural
But don't you ask me how
It's been the cause of all my sorrow
But I think I'll start tomorrow
'Cause I sure could use a hit right now
I'm gonna throw it out the window, some day
Give away my cocaine
Bust my spikes and flush a million mikes
Of acid right down the drain
And we'll be makin' it natural, makin' it natural...
(H. Smith/D. Locorriere)
I don't need to see you on a television screen
I don't wanna see your face on Time magazine
I know that you are finer than any movie queen
I wanna see you face on the pillow next to me
I don't care that you ain't been to all the finest schools
It's alright by me if you forget the golden rules
'Cause you got that body and you know how to use it
and I got my guitar so I can make my music
Makin' love and music, makin' love and music
Makin' love and music, makin' love and music
Makin' love, makin' love, makin' love, makin' love
You don't need to think that you need fortune or fame
I get so excited when you whisper my name
Your sweet love is all it takes to make my fire burn
All it takes is music to make my world turn turn
Turn on my guitar, that'll turn me on
Keep the music playing and let the feeling come
You'll be the woman and I'll be the man
And we'll make love and music any time we can
Makin' love and music, makin' love and music
Makin' love and music, makin' love and music
Makin' love, makin' love, makin' love, makin' love
Makin' love and music, makin' love and music
Makin' love and music, makin' love and music
Makin' love, makin' love, makin' love, makin' love
