Graham Nash

How does it feel
When life doesn't seem real
And you're floating about on your own
Your life is uncertain
So you draw the curtain
Pretending there's nobody home

But don't theorize
Look in your eyes
They can't tell lies
Though you disguise what you see
The mirror is free

We once had a savior
But by our behavior
The one that was worth it is gone
Song birds are talking
And the runners are walking
A prodigal son is coming home

Don't theorize
Look in his eyes
They won't tell lies
But if he defies what you see
He'll give you the key

Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself

We needed a tutor
So built a computer
And we programmed ourselves not to see
The truth and the lying
The dead and the dying
A silent majority

But don't theorize
Look in their eyes
Are they telling lies
The ones that they learn on TV
What a way to be free

Be yourself
Be yourself
Free yourself
Free yourself
See yourself
See yourself
Then you can be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself

They say the mountain is high
And you’ll never move it.
Ah, but before I believe that,
They’ll just have to prove it.
I have a hammer in my hand,
And faith in my heart.
I’ve already waited too long,
And I’m ready to start.

Chippin’ away, little by little, day by day.
Chippin’ away, and the walls will come tumbling down.
Oh what a wonderful sound.

There is a wall around the church,
And a wall around the prison.
I think the wall around your heart, baby
Is blocking out your vision.

So put a hammer in your hand,
And faith in your heart.
You’ve already waited too long
Aren’t you ready to start.

Chippin’ away, little by little, day by day.
Chippin’ away, and the walls will come tumbling down,
Oh what a wonderful sound.

Empty eyes meet mine in the moonlight.
You're thinking that it's all true.
I wanna talk but I can't get the words right.
I can tell that it's killing you.
But I don't know what we're gonna do.

So don't, don't listen to the rumours.
Now who's been talking to you anyway.
Don't listen to the rumours.
You don't wanna know what they're saying.

Silk stockings and a call from a stranger,
I know that it don't seem right.
I'm not gonna say that I've been an angel.
Just get you through the night.
But I think it's time we got things right.

So don listen to the rumours.
Now who's been talking to you anyway (he's been fooling you)
Don't listen to the rumours,
You don't wanna know what they're saying.

What's all this talk about truth and devotion,
Is there anything you're sorry for.
I think it's time we got it out in the open,
If it's just a thing you can't ignore.
'Cause you're the only thing I'm living for.

So don't, don't listen to the rumours.
Now who's been talking to you anyway (he's been fooling you)
Don't listen to the rumours,
You don't wanna know what they're saying
Don't listen to the rumours. (you poor girl, it's time you found out)
Now who's been talking to you anyway.
Don't listen to the rumours. (I saw him last night.)
You don't wanna know what they're saying.
Don't listen to the rumours. (don't you know what he's been doing.)
Don't listen to the rumours. (he's been fooling you.)
Don't listen to the rumours. (you poor girl, it's time you found out)
Don't listen to the rumours. (I saw him last night.)

Here in this room of glass and steel
With the TV and the tube I'm watching with my eyes
Things are getting spacier quelle surprise
From the bar the circus calls
Check the smile and crawl the halls it all comes back to me
With the life of a rock and roll refugee
And it's hard, yes it's hard to understand just where you've gone
And I know that coming down can't be much fun any more
And I hope you find the strength to carry on
When will we ever learn
It's all too much it's such a burn when it all goes up in flames
The trick is trying to balance all the pleasure and the pains
And it's hard, yes it's hard to understand just where you've gone
And I know that coming down can't be much fun any more
Still I hope you find the strength to carry on
In this world of flesh and bone
Check the girl and wander home alone it's all the same
I'm sick and tired and tired and sick of playing all these games
And it's hard, so hard
Glass and steel, glass and steel
Glass and steel

I got a rock.
You got a rock.
We got a rock.
They got a rock.

I got a stick.
You got a stick.
We got a stick.
They got a stick.

I got a gun.
You got a gun.
We got a gun.
They got a gun.

But I got a wife.
I got a family.
I got a country.
I want a future.

I got a bomb.
You got a bomb.
We got a bomb.
They got a bomb.

But I got a wife.
I got a family.
I got a country.
I want a future.

But I got a wife.
I got a family.
I got a country.
I want a future.

But I got a wife.
I got a family.
I got a country.
I want a future.

With your innocent eyes
You’ve been telling me lies
You’ve been making a fool of me
If it’s all a disguise
I’ve been living a fantasy
You’re lying with your innocent eyes
This situation I can do without
So don’t trouble yourself to call, I just found you out
While your lying eyes are saying
You wanted only me
Your heart is with another
And you’re saying what you think I’ll believe

With your innocent eyes
You’ve been telling me lies
You’ve been making a fool of me
If it’s all a disguise
I’ve been living a fantasy
You’re lying with your innocent eyes
How did I ever believe you
It was no surprise
Ah, just one look and I fell
For your innocent eyes
You’re lying with your innocent eyes
You’ve telling me lies
You’ve been making a fool of me
You
You

I started out to get your full attention.
But I just have to say.
There's just one thing that I forgot to mention.
You'd better stay away.

Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.

You always brag about your latest venture.
How much you're gonna make.
I'm not opposed to making lots of money.
But how much does it take.

Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.

Don't want to hear about your latest journey.
Or where you're gonna be.
Don't want to look at all your family photos,
It's all too much for me.

Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.

Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.

Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me.

Where was I yesterday?
Have I been there once before.
And who was I yesterday?
Don’t wanna be him no more.

It’s a newday (whoa, whoa, etc.)
It’s a newday.

Where will I be tomorrow?
I hope I’ve never been there.
And who will I be tomorrow?
I really hope I’m still here.

It’s a newday
It’s a newday
It’s a newday
It’s a newday

I’m gonna look for the light.
You’re all I need to make it right.
I’m gonna look for the light. (whoa, whoa, etc.)

Saw it in the summertime.
It was grey and dirty.
Concrete and barbed wire, cutting through the city.
Break on through to the other side,
Was written in graffiti.
The wall was long and it was high.
Isn't it a pity that you and I,
Learned to cry before we learned to crawl.
We've only just come far enough to fall.
And all the world is watching over the wall.

Mines and machine guns,
Try to keep the people down.
Passport policemen,
Try to keep the others in.
How long can this go on?
Keeping everyone apart,
Tear all the fences down,
Tear down the wall around your heart.

It's up to everyone.
So start, it really can be done.
Take part,
The battle can be won over the wall.

Over the wall.
Over the wall.

How bad has it got to be,
If they wanna get over here.
How good has it got to be.
If they have to keep 'em there.
Let everybody go.
Stop feeding all the fears.
Let everybody know.
There's got to be some way out of here.

Over the wall.
Over the wall.
Over the wall.
Over the wall.

In the morning light I once told you
I will love you all of my life,
Then I noticed that you were asleep,
But I told you anyway.

You were lying warm and tender,
Looking lovely in the light,
Then I started to think of what you mean to me
And I kissed you.

You can really open sad eyes,
Just like they say you can.
You can really open my mind,
To see the better man I am
No more looking through sad eyes.

And when the morning came, you looked up to me.
You took away my pain
When you told me what could be.
So goodbye sad eyes.

You can really open sad eyes,
Just like they say you can
You Have really opened my mind,
To see the better man I am
No more looking through sad eyes.
Sad eyes,
Sad eyes,
Sad eyes,
Sad eyes.

I took a train to the Berlin station.
Rendez vous with a Paraguayan agent.
He had the film, I had the vault-key.
I checked the stills, that's when he caught me.

A sudden blow from behind.
A perfumed note saying,
Better luck next time.

We met again at a Turkish bath in Turkey.
On the trail of a smacked-out Iraqi.
He had the name of a dame from the K.G.B.
Who knew that you were doing some work for me.
You scrubbed his back, I bugged the tub.
He spilled the beans and you pulled the plug.

“See you in Prague, my love? she said.
“See you in Prague, we'll go to bed,
And then we'll disappear into the fog,
See you in Prague?

On the run from the Cuban secret service
Major Cruz was a man with a purpose.
He ran me down to a hotel in Geneva.
You checked in he was poised with a cleaver.

One little job his eyes rolled back.
Curare looked just like a heart attack.

“See you in Prague, my love? she said.
“See you in Prague, we'll go to bed,
And then we'll disappear into the fog,
See you in Prague?

You have this habit of turning up
In Budapest, Suez, Nicaragua.

“See you in Prague, my love? she said.
“See you in Prague, we'll go to bed,
And then we'll disappear into the fog,
See you in Prague?

If I had ever been here before I would probably know just what to do
Don't you?
If I had ever been here before on another time around the wheel
I would probably know just how to deal
With all of you.
And I feel
Like I've been here before
Feel
Like I've been here before
And you know
It makes me wonder
What's going on under the ground

Do you know?
Don't you wonder?
What's going on down under you.

We have all been here before
We have all been here before
We have all been here before
We have all been here before

Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground,
Mother Earth will swallow you,
Lay your body down

You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good bye.

Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.

Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you

Stills: If you smile at me, I will understand
'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
in the same language.
Crosby: I can see by your coat, my friend,
you're from the other side,
There's just one thing I got to know,
Can you tell me please, who won?
Stills: Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Crosby: Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now,
haven't got sick once.
Stills: Probably keep us both alive.

Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy,
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be,
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be,
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy...
Horror grips us as we watch you die,
A
Stare as all human feelings die,
We are leaving - you don't need us.

Go, take your sister then, by the hand,
lead her away from this foreign land,
Far away, where we might laugh again,
We are leaving - you don't need us.

And it's a fair wind, blowin' warm,
Out of the south over my shoulder,
Guess I'll set a course and go

Every day, it's a-getting closer
Going faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way

Every day, it's a a-getting faster
Everyone says go ahead and ask her
Love like yours will surely come my way

Every day seems a little a longer
Every way loves a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?

Every day, it's a-getting closer
Going faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way

Every day seems a little a longer
Every way loves a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?

Every day, it's a-getting closer
Going faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way

Love like yours will surely come my way
Love like yours will surely come my way

Every day, every day, every day ...

(Words of love you whisper soft and true
Darling, I love you)

(Listen to me to what I say
Our hearts can be nearer each day
Hold me darling, please listen to me)

(Montgomery / Petty)
Heartbeat, why do you miss
when my baby kisses me?

Heartbeat, why does your love kiss
stay in my memory?

Pittery-Pat.
I know that new love thrills me.
I know that true love will be.

Heartbeat, why do you miss
when my baby kisses me?

Heartbeat, why do you skip
when my baby's lips meet mine?

Heartbeat, why do you flip
then give me a skip each time?

Pittery-Pat.
Sing to me love's story
Bring to me love's glory.

You're gonna say you miss me

I don't care what you told me
You're gonna say you'll hold me

(Anka)

There you go and baby, here am I.
Well, you left me here so I could sit and cry.
Well, golly gee, what have you done to me?
I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

Do you remember baby, last September
How you held me tight, each and every night?
Well, oh baby, how you drove me crazy.
I guess it doesn't matter anymore

There's no use in me a-cryin'.
I've done everything and I'm sick of tryin'.
I've thrown away my nights,
Wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time.
I'll find somebody new and baby, we'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore

Love can make a fool of you
You do anything it wants you to
Love can make you feel so good
When it goes like you think it should
Or it can make you cry at night
When your baby don't treat you right

When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

You know love makes fools of men
But you don't care, you're gonna try it again
Time goes by, it's a-passing fast
You think true love has come at last
But by and by you're gonna find
Your crazy love has made you blind

When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

Love can make a fool of you
You do anything it wants you to
Love can make you feel so good
When it goes like you think it should
Or it can make you cry at night
When your baby don't treat you right

When you're feeling sad and blue
You know love's made a fool of you

Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

It's funny honey, you don't care
You never listen to my prayer
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

Well, you are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
When someday you want me, oh well
I'll be there, wait and see

Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

Well, you are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
When someday you want me, oh well
I'll be there, wait and see

Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

Maybe baby, ooh ...

Well, if you see old Annie give her a lift
'Cos Annie's been working on the midnight shift

Annie puts her hair upon her head
Paints them lips a bright, bright red
Wears that dress that fits real tight
Starts staying out to the middle of the night
Says that her friends give her a lift
Well, Annie's been working on the midnight shift

Well, she acts a little funny
Seems a little strange
Starts spending your money for a brand new thing
Tells you that she wants to use the car
Never explains what she wants it for
Brother, it ain't no if's
Well, Annie's been working on the midnight shift

Early in the morning when the sun comes up
You look at old Annie and she looks kinda rough
You tell her "Honey, get outa bed"
She says "Leave me alone, I'm just about dead"
Brother, these ain't no if's
'cos Annie's been working on the midnight shift

If you got a good mama that's stayin' at home
You better enjoy it 'cos it won't last long
When you think everything's all right
She starts going 'round in the middle of the night
Brother, there just ain't no if's
'cos Annie's been working on the midnight shift
Brother, this ain't no if's
'cos Annie's been working on the midnight shift, yeah

I'll just leave that up to you
If you don't believe, I'll understand

Do you recall a girl that's been in nearly every song?
This is what I heard
Of course, the story could be wrong

She's the one, I've been told
'cos she's wearing that band of gold
Peggy Sue got married not long ago

Take your time, I can wait
All of our love I know will be mine
If you take your time

Take your time, though it's late
Heart strings will sing like a string of twine
If you take your time

Take your time and take mine too
I have time to spend
Take your time, go with me through
Times 'til all times end

For our love, the love I know will be mine
If you take your time

Tell me how to keep your love
You know how I need your love
Tell me how you keep the love
Within your heart from me

Don't you know that I love you?
Let me show why I'm true blue
When I know our love is true
Don't keep your love from me

If you would say to me today
The time for love is now
Well could I sway your love my way
Then I'd say 'Tell me how'

Tell me how to keep your love
You know how I need your love
Tell me how you keep the love
Within your heart from me

If you would say to me today
The time for love is now
Well could I sway your love my way

Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'
All your hugs and kisses and your money too
Well, you know you love me baby, until you tell me, maybe
That some day, well, I'll be through, well

That'll be the day, when you say good-bye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
Oh you say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie 'cos
That'll be the day when I die

When Cupid shot his dart he shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You say you told me and you told me boldly
That someday well, I'll be through

That'll be the day, when you say good-bye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
Oh you say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie 'cos
That'll be the day when I die

Think it over what you just said
Think it over in your pretty little head
Are you sure that I'm not the one?
Is your love real or only fun?
Think it over, just think it over
My lonely heart grows cold and old

Think it over and let me know
Think it over and don't be slow
Just remember all birds and bees
Go by two's through life's mysteries
Think it over, yes just think it over
My lonely heart grows cold and old

Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over, just think it over
My lonely heart grows cold and old

All right, all right

Think it over and think of me
Think it over and you will see
The happy day when you and I
Think as one and kiss the blues goodbye
Think it over, just think it over
My lonely heart grows cold and old

Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over, just think it over
My lonely heart grows cold and old

Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over (over and over)
Think it over, just think it over
My lonely heart grows cold and old

(Holly)
What to do now that she doesn't want me?
That's what haunts me
What to do?
What to do to keep from feeling lonely?
Want her only.
What to do?

The record hops and all the happy times we had.
The soda shop, the walks to school now make me sad.
Oh, what to do? I know my heart is showing,
still not knowing
what to do.

(repeat)

What to do?
What to do? (to do, what to do, what to do) x8

Wishing, dreaming, wishing

Wishing that I could see you every day
Wishing that I could steal your heart away
Dreaming of the time I could hold you tight
Wishing that the time would come tonight

I've been hoping all along
Things would turn out right
If I could find a wishing star
Then I would spend the night

Wishing that I could see you every day
Wishing that I could steal your heart away

Then I could spend the night

Wishing that I could see you every day
Wishing that I could steal your heart away
Dreaming of the time I could hold you tight
Wishing that the time would come tonight

Wishing, dreaming,
Wishing, dreaming,
Wishing, dreaming,
Wishing, dreaming

Well you can't be my lovin' baby
You ain't gotta style
I'm gonna get some real good love
Gonna drive those cool cats wild

I'm gonna move, move on down the line
Wanna get some love, a love that's truly fine

Oh I'm gonna show you a-way so hot
I'm gonna get what you ain't got
She'll be cool, she'll be wrong
She'll be cool and twice as strong

Gonna roll roll on down the line
Wanna get some love, a love that's truly fine

Why! come on now

Yeah, Move on down the line
Wanna get some love that's truly fine
She'll be cool, she'll be long
She'll be cool and twice as strong

Gonna roll, roll on down the line
Gonna get some love, a love that's truly fine

Oh let's sing it again one time now

Yeah, move on down the line
Wanna get some love that's truly fine
She'll be cool, she'll be long
She'll be cool and twice as strong

Gonna roll, roll on down the line
Wanna get some love, a love that's truly fine

Yeah, move (Yeah gonna move)

I'm gonna move (Yeah gonna move)

I'm gonna move (Yeah gonna move)

Fifi the flea fell in love
With a clown from a flea circus fair
She gave him her heart
But he still couldn't see
That for such a long time she had cared
He put himself 'round all the other girl fleas
Unaware that he hurt her so badly
She cried in the arms of his manager friend
And declared that she loved the clown madly

One day Fifi went
And this drove the clown wild
The poor little flea started crying
Never you mind his manager said
I ought not to tell but she's dyin'
Dyin' for love of you little flea
You've broken her heart with your lyin'
She couldn't stand to see you throw
Her love away without tryin'

The day Fifi died the little clown vowed
He'd tend her grave every hour
He broke down and cried
When he saw her grave
And on it he placed a small flower
Poor little flea he wasted away
He'd lost his Fifi forever
So they opened her grave
Put him inside
Now at last they are together

Went to a fortune teller
To have my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head

She took a hold of my palm
She said Son you feel kind of warm
And then she looked into a crystal ball
She said You're in love

I said how could that be so
I'm not friendly with the girls I know
She said when the next one arrives
You gotta look into her eyes

I left there in a hurry
Looking forward to my big surprise
The next day I discovered
That the fortune teller told me lies

I rushed straight back to that woman
Just as mad as I could be
I said I didn't see nobody
Why'd she made a fool of me

Then something struck me
Like lightning from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love

Now I'm a happy fella
I'm married to the fortune teller
I'm as happy as I can be
Now I get my fortunes told for free

Bad times, something's wrong
Money's gone, I'm on my own
Can't stay, there's nothing here
It's been a hard, hard year

First month, snows came
Put me in bed, couldn't work the same
Job's gone, bills are here
Been a hard, hard year

I look on the bad side of life
I lose heart then I want to die
So I've got to get back on my feet
And prove to myself I'm a man

I hope that the bad times are gone
It's been work, but I think that I've won
Now I'm happy
And I'll never be that way again
No, I'll never be that way again

Snow's gone, spring's here
Won't happen twice, I've seen my way clear
Everyone's paid, got no one to fear
Been a hard, hard year

(Simon / Garfunkel)
A winter's day in a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the street below
On a freshly fallen , silent shroud of snow

I am a rock I am an island

Don't talk of love
Well, I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
Don't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I never loved, I never would have cried

chorus

I build walls
A fortress deep and might
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain

chorus

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me

chorus

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

chorus x 2

(Taylor / Gorgoni)
Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye

Feel so bad, baby Oh, it hurts me
When I think of how you love and desert me
I'm the broken-hearted toy you play with, baby

You got me going I need you, baby
I can't let go, and I want you, baby
I gotta have you, you know, I can't let go

Though I'm just one of your lovers
And I know there are so many others
You do something strange to me, baby, baby

chorus

Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye
Know that it's wrong and I should be so strong
But the thought of you gone makes me want to hold on

chorus x2

I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go

(Porter / Hodges / Hayes)
Oh, I take what I want
Oh, I'm a bad go-getter, yeah
Yes, I am

And I'm never a quitter, yeah
Oh, no
'Cos I take what I want
Yeah, baby, I want you
Nobody but you, child

But I never said a word
Not one word

And I'm gonna make you my girl

'Cos I take what I want
Yeah, baby, I want you
Nobody but you, child

Gonna pick you up now
Carry you away, yes, I am
So you better pack up now, baby

You'll be holding my hand

'Cos I take what I want

And now I'm 'round to get you
And I'm gonna make you my girl
My loving girl now

Nobody but you, you, you
Nobody but you, child
Oh, listen to me
Got nobody but you now

I, I've been wrong before
But I know for sure
That I saw you last night
Out with another guy
It nearly made me cry
So I'm telling your girl

Stand by me my love
And I'll give you anything you want anytime you want
So stand by me my love
And I'll give you everything
And I'll give you everything

Stand by me my love
And I'll give you anything you want anytime you want
So stand by me my love
And I'll give you everything

Out with another guy
It nearly made me cry
So I'm telling your girl

Cry
So I'm telling you girl
Cry

Cry

Everything 'round them is spinning and turnin'
But they can't understand
People around me just never stop learnin'
About the things that I've planned
I've got a way, way of my own

Just look around them. They better start thinkin'
People will lend a hand
They better watch it or else they'll start sinkin'
With their heads in the sand
I've got a way, way of my own

Come back, when you've time for the world
You must think they'd don't need anyone, no no
Come back, when you've time for the world
They might find what they're lookin' for
They might find what they're lookin' for
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh

break

I can't believe that the reason
Tey're giving will entice me to go
Why they deny me the right to start livin'
I'll just never know
I've got a way, way of my own

Come back, when you've time for the world
They must think they'd don't need anyone, no no
Come back, when you've time for the world
They might find what they're lookin' for
They might find what they're lookin' for
They might find what they're lookin' for
They might find what they're lookin' for
They might find what they're lookin' for
They might find what they're lookin' for

(Ransford)
How soon tears begin to tumble
From her laughing eyes
She's been talking to somebody
Who told her lies
She'll never trust in anybody no more
Who told her lies
She'll never trust in anybody no more

How can I begin to reach her
Let her know the truth
What that someone has been saying
Is only lies
She'll never trust in anybody no more
It's only lies
She'll never trust in anybody no more

How could she think that I
Would take advantage of a girl like her
How could she think that I
Would sacrifice all I have felt for her
Would sacrifice all I have felt for her

Like a flower she is fading
Soon she'll wilt and die
If she doesn't get the sunlight
That I can give
She'll never trust in anybody no more
That I can give
She'll never trust in anybody no more

(Ransford)
So you gotta put yourself in my place
I don't want to lose face

People talking 'round town
Telling me that you've been putting it round
That your love for me
So they say
It's hard to realize
That I love you this way
So you gotta put yourself in my place
Don't want to lose face

Coz you're telling these lies
Everyone will think it's no surprise
That you're leaving me today
I never thought that I'd see you walking away
So you gotta put yourself in my place
Don't want to lose face

So your friends turn their backs
And laugh at me
Well you just tell them
That our love could never be
And so you gotta now
Put yourself in my place

Break

So you gotta now
Put yourself in my place
Don't want to lose face

Why don't we both take a chance
I'm sure that if we tried we could save our romance
I'll never understand what you did to me
Why don't you realize that I'll never be free
And so you gotta
Put yourself in my place
Don't want to lose face


No no no no no no (lose face)
Listen to me baby (lose face)
Come on Come on
You gotta try
Lose face

Every time I see you walking down
The street with my girl
I get a funny feeling
When I see you out with my girl

I get so lonely
I get so lonely without you
I get lonely for you

See you everyday
And now I realize you're not mine
I know I just can't think
Of anything to do with my time

'Cos I'm so lonely
I get so lonely without you

Waiting (Oh I'm waiting oh I'm waiting)
Oh I'm waiting (Oh I'm waiting yes I'm waiting)
Waiting (Oh I'm waiting yes I'm waiting)
For your loving
To keep me satisfied forever
To keep me satisfied forever

If you get tired of her
Just her right on back to my arms
And then we'll start anew
And know that we never will part

I get so lonely
I get so lonely without you
I get lonely for you

(Yellin / Rinzler / Herald)
Old Stewball was a racehorse
And I wished he were mine
He never drank water
He always drank wine

His bridle was silver
And his mane it was gold
But worth of his saddle
Has never been told

The fairgrounds was crowded
And old Stewball was there
But the betting was heavy
On the bay and the mare

Oh, way up yonder
Ahead of them all
Came prancing and dancing
My noble Stewball

If I bet on the grey mare
And I bet on the bay
And if I'd bet on old Stewball
I'd be a free man today

Oh, the hoot owl she hollers
And the turtle dove moans
I'm a poor boy in trouble
I'm a long way from home

Old Stewball was a racehorse
And I wished he was mine
He never drank water
He always drank wine

(Berry)
They're really rockin' in Boston
Pittsburgh, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
Way down in 'Frisco Bay
All over St Louie
Down in New Orleans
All the cats going dancing
Sweet Little Sixteen

Sweet little sixteen
Just gotta have
Tight dresses and lipstick
Framed autographs
By tomorrow morning
She'll have to change the trend
Being sweet little sixteen
Back in class again

verse 2

verse 1

(Holly / Petty)
Take your time, I can wait
All of our love I know will be mine
If you take your time

Take your time, though it's late
Heart strings will sing like a string of twine
If you take your time

Take your time and take mine too
I have time to spend
Take your time, go with me through
Times 'til all times end

verse 1

verse 3

verse 1

For our love, the love I know will be mine
If you take your time

(Jamison)
If I were the sun, way up there
I'd roll around almost anywhere
Oh, I'd be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know, I'm still around That's how strong my love is, oh
That's how strong my love is, baby, baby
That's how strong my love is, yeah
That's how strong my love is I'd be the weeping willow, drown in my tears
You could go swimming whenever you're near
Oh, I'd be the rainbow when tears are gone
Wrap you in my colors, keep you warm

chorus

I'd be the ocean so deep and so wide
I'd shed your tears whenever you'd cry
I'd be the breeze when the storms are gone
And dry your eyes and keep you warm

That's how strong love is, yeah
That's how strong my love is, baby, baby
That's how strong love is, listen to me know
That's how strong my love is

verse 3

chorus

To spend one night with you
In our rendezvous
And reminisce with you
That's my desire
Oh whoa whoa whoa

To go where gypsies play
Down in some dim cafe
And dance till break of day
That's my desire
Oh whoa whoa whoa

To sip a little glass of wine
And gaze into your eyes divine
To feel the touch of your lips
Pressing on mine

To hear you whisper low
Just when it's time to go
Cheri, I love you so
That's my desire
Oh whoa whoa whoa
That's my desire
Oh whoa whoa whoa
That's my desire

There's a story that I read about in books
About the bad times that people had
That's how he planned it
You can't do naught about it
Too many people

The black plague came along and wiped out quite a few
The rats came with the graves, that's how we knew
That's how he planned it
You can't do naught about it
Too many people

This ain't no story
No fairy tale
These things have happened once before
Ask yourself the question
When will it end
There ain't no foolin' death
So you just gotta sit and wait

Too many people
Too many people

This ain't no story
No fairy tale
These things have happened once before
Ask yourself the question
When will it end
There ain't no foolin' death
So you just gotta sit and wait

A million people died
In great wars, that we know
They sacrificed their lives
Just goes to show
That's how he planned it
You can't do naught about it

Too many people (there's too many people)
Too many people
Too many people
Too many people oh yeah

I'm telling you girl
That I'm coming home to you
I hate to say this
But I know you've been untrue
Just stop your foolin'
Come on and hold me
When I come home to you
When I come home to you

It's plain to see love
Isn't something new to you
You couldn't be loved
Cause you've never known the truth
About the lies
You tell to me
When I come home to you
When I come home to you

Comin' home isn't good for me
I know
But the way that you look at me
I know
That I've got to come on home
And take you in my arms

Comin' home isn't good for me
I know
But the way that you look at me
I know
That I've got to come on home
And take you in my arms

I'm telling you girl
That I'm coming home to you
I hate to say this
But I know you've been untrue
Just stop your foolin'
Come on and hold me
When I come home to you
Yeah

When I come home to you
Whoa whoa

When I come home to you

You must believe me
No matter what the people might say
You must believe me
Darling it just didn't happen that way
No, no it just didn't happen that way

You come home
With something on your mind
Tell me darling
Why are you crying
I said be serious
No time for fun
You're tryin' to tell me
Something that I've done
The things you heard
Couldn't be denied
But before your opinion
Listen to my side

You must believe me
No matter what the people might say
You must believe me
Darling it just didn't happen that way
No, no it just didn't happen that way

Oh oh
Oh oh

You come home
With something on your mind
Tell me darling
Why are you crying
I said be serious
No time for fun
You're tryin' to tell me
Something that I've done
The things you heard
Couldn't be denied
But before your opinion
Listen to my side

You must believe me
No matter what the people might say
You must believe me
You must believe me
You must believe me

You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good bye.

Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.

Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you
