Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy

Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring

Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With "Boy thought I told you not to go outside"

Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From woopin' your behind

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go?
I wish those days could, come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go?
Cause I love them so

Doo Do Doo...

Brother says he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell, I'll give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world

Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through

Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doin' it it sure felt outta sight

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go?

The city streets are empty now
(The lights don't shine no more)
And so the songs are way down low.
(Turnin', turnin', turnin')

A sound that flows into my mind
(The ech*** of the daylight)
Of everything that is alive (In my blue world).

I turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone
Turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go on.

The dying embers of a night
(A fire that slowly fades till dawn)
Still glow upon the wall so bright.
(Turnin', turnin', turnin')

The tired streets that hide away
(From here to everywhere they go)
Roll past my door into the day
(In my blue world).

I turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone
Turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go on.

Turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone.

Yes I'm turnin' to stone
'Cos you ain't comin' home,
Why ain't you comin' home
If I'm turnin' to stone,
You've been gone for so long
And I can't carry on,
Yes I'm turnin' I'm turnin'
I'm turnin' to stone.

The dancing shadows on the wall
(The two-step in the hall)
Are all I see since you've been gone
(Turnin' turnin' turnin')

Through all I sit here and I wait
(I turn to stone I turn to stone)
You will return again some day
(To my blue world)

I turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone
Turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go on.

Turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone.

I turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone
Turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go on.

Turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone.

Lying beside you.
Here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat
With mine
Softly you whisper
You're so sincere
How could our love
Be so blind

We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

So now I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you
Living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay
So now I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms

Baby, when I think about you, I think about love
Darling, I don't live without you and your love

If I had those golden dreams of my yesterday
I would wrap you in the heaven, but they lay dying on the way

Feel like makin'
Feel like makin' love, feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love, feel like makin' love to you

Baby, if I think about you, I think about love
Darling, if I live without you, I live without love

And if I had the sun and moon, and they were shining
I would give you both night and day, love satisfying

Feel like makin'
Feel like makin' love, feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love, feel like makin' love to you

And if I had those golden dreams of my yesterday
I would wrap you in the heaven, really dying all the way

Feel like makin'
Feel like makin' love, feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love, feel like makin' love to you

Well, I feel like makin' love
Well, I feel like makin' love
Well, I feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love to you

Well, I feel like makin' love
Well, I feel like makin' love
Well, I feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love to you

Well, I feel like makin' love
Well, I feel like makin' love, yeah
Well, I feel like makin' love, yeah
Feel like makin' love to you

Yeah, feel like makin' love, love
Well, I feel like makin' love

Billy-Ray was a preacher's son,
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along.
When they gathered round and started talkin',
That's when Billy would take me walkin',
A-through the backyard we'd go walkin'.
Then he'd look into my eyes,
Lord knows to my surprise:

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man.
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man.
Yes he was, he was,
Ooh, yes he was.

Being good isn't always easy,
No matter how hard I try.
When he started sweet-talkin' to me,
He'd come and tell me everything is all right,
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right.
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man.
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man.
Yes he was, he was,
(Ooh...) Lord knows he was
Yes he was.

How well I remember,
The look that was in his eyes.
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly,
Takin' time to make time,
Tellin' me that he's all mine,
Learnin' from each other's knowing,
Lookin' to see how much we've grown.

And the only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man.
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man.
Yes he was, he was,
Ooh, yes he was.

The only one who could ever reach me,
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man.
The only boy who could ever teach me,
I kissed the son of a preacher man.
The only one who could ever move me,
The sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever groove me,
Ahh, ooh, ahh....

When life is too much, roll with it, baby
Don't stop and lose your touch, oh no, baby
Hard times knocking on your door, i'll tell them you ain't there no more
Get on through it, roll with it, baby
Luck'll come and then slip away, you've gotta move, bring it back to stay

You just roll with it, baby, come on and just roll with it, baby
You and me, roll with it, baby, hang on and just roll with it, baby

The way that you love is good as money
I swear by stars above, sweet as honey
People think you're down and out, you show them what it's all about
You can make it, roll with it, baby
When this world turns its back on you, hang in and do that sweet thing you do

You just roll with it, baby, you just roll with it, baby
Come on and just roll with it, baby, you and me, just roll with it, baby

Now there'll be a day you'll get there, baby, you'll hear the music play, you'll dance, baby
You'll leave bad times way behind, nothing but good times on your mind
You can do it, roll with it, baby
Then you'll see life will be so nice, it's just a step up to paradise
You just roll with it, baby, you just roll with it, baby
You and me, just roll with it, baby, come on and just roll with it, baby"

Well, she was an American girl,
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinking that
There was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die
Tryin', she
Had one little promise she was gonna keep

Oh yeah, alright,
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on the balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on four forty one like
Waves crashing on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God, it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach

Oh yeah, alright,
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out till the break of day
Oh, that didn't get it,
It was high time I quit it
I just couldn't carry on that way
Oh, I did some damage, I know it's true
Didn't know I was so lonely , till I found you
You can go the distance
We'll find out in the long run
(in the long run)
We can handle some resistance
If our love is a strong one (is a strong one)
People talkin' about us
they got nothin' else to do
When it all comes down we will
still come through
In the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a long run
You know I don't understand why you don't
treat yourself better
do the crazy things that you do
'Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby,
couldn't hold a candle to you
Did you do it for love?
Did you do it for money?
Did you do it for spite?
Did you think you had to, honey?
Who is gonna make it?
We'll find out in the long run
(in the long run)
I know we can take it
if our love is a strong one
(is a strong one)
Well, we're scared, but we ain't shakin'
Kinda bent, but we ain't breakin'
in the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a long run
in the long run
in the long run, etc...

All I need is a TV show
That, and the radio
Down on my luck again
Down on my luck again

I can show you
I can show you
Some of the people in my life
I can show you

Some of the people in my life

It's driving me mad
Just another way
Of passing the day

I
I get so lonely
When she's not there
I, I, I, I

You're just another face
That I know from the TV show
I have known you for so very long
I feel you're like a friend

Can't you do anything for me?
Can I touch you for a while?
Can I meet you on another day?
When we will fly away

I can show you
I can show you
Some of the people in my life
I can show you
I can show you
Some of the people in my life

It's driving me mad
It's just another way
Of passing the day

Billy Shears!

What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because you're on your own?

No I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody?

What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you but I know it's mine

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm get high with a little help from my friends

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a b**** girl but it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money money but it won't get you too far,

That it's wrong to take what is given you
So far gone, on your own

But you'll never be strong

'Cause
You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway

'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Get you too far

High and dry, out of the rain
It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
And don't you know that a love can't grow
'Cause there's too much to give, 'cause you'd rather live
For the thrill of it all, oh

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money

Crying words that you mean
Opening their eyeballs, eyeballs
Pretending that you're Al Green, Al Green

Two weeks and you're an all time legend
I think the games have gone much too far

She stood there bright as the sun on that California coast
He was a midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes, so innocent and blue
He knew right then he was too far from home
He was too far from home

She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach
They watched the waves tumble over the sand
They drove for miles and miles up those twisting turning roads
Higher and higher and higher they climbed

And those Hollywood night
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
All those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of the skills

He'd headed west 'cause he felt that a change would do him good
See some old friends, good for the soul
She had been born with a face that would let her get her way
He saw that face and he lost all control
He had lost all control

Night after night, day after day, it went on and on
Then came that morning he woke up alone
He spent all night staring down at the lights of LA
Wondering if he could ever go home

And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
It was looking so right
It was giving him chills
In those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
With a passion that kills

In those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
All those big city lights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of the skills

Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow
Fame

Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane
Fame

Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow

Fame, "Nien! It's mine!" is just his line
To bind your time, it drives you to crime

Got to get a rain check on pain

I was born to run

The craziest boy you ever seen

Making love to whoever I please

Tried to tie me down

You had to have it your way
Or no way at all

Well I've had all I can take

You tried to tie me down

You had to have it your way
Well, I'm saying no way

So why don't you turn me loose
Turn me loose
Turn me loose

Or no way at all

Why don't you turn me loose
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
