How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I needed the shelter of someone's arms, there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs,
there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I just want to stop (stop) just to thank you baby
I just want to stop (stop) just to thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I just want to stop (stop) just to thank you baby
I just want to stop (stop) just to thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

You were better to me than I was to myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop (stop) so I could thank you baby
I just want to stop (stop) to thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is...

And it feels just about right

Ohhh.....

Just to be loved
Just to be loved by you, baby, yeah

I'm all out of hope
One more bad break
Could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release

Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face

I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you

Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face

When you hear the music, you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket, then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas, oh, the gigolo cool
Hanging out by the state line
Turning holy water into wine
Drinking it down, oh

I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books, tryin' to stay hip
I'm thinkin' of you, you're out there, so
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers

Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realize

Got no human grace
Your eyes without a face
Such a human waste
Your eyes without a face

And now it's getting worse

Down around the corner
A half a mile from here
You can see them long trains run
And you watch them disappear
Without love
Where would you be now
Without love

You know I saw miss lucy
Down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family
And she won't be comin' back
Without love
Where would you be right now
Without love

Well the illinois central
And the southern central freight
Gotta keep on pushin' mama
'cause you know they're runnin' late
Without love
Where would you be now - now, now, now
Without love

Well the pistons keep on churnin'
And the wheels go 'round and 'round
And the steel rails are cold and hard
For the miles that they go down
Without love
Where would you be right now
Without love
Where would you be now

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

I got a certain little girl, she's on my mind
No doubt about it, she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's going to make me feel so bad

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

Hush, hush, thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush, she broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush, thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush, I need her love and I'm not to blame now

Love, love, they got it early in the morning
Love, love, they got it late in the evening
Love, love, well, I want it now I need it
Love, love, oh I got to got to have it

She's got a love like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
Blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat oh and I can't sleep

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

Listen
Hush, hush, thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush, she broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush, thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush, I need your love and I'm not to blame now

Love, love, they got it early in the morning
Love, love, they got it late in the evening
Love, love, well, I want now I need it
Love, love, oh I got to got to have it

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

Where were you when I needed you?
Well, you could not be found
What can I do? Oh, I believed in you
You're running me around

Well you can take it as a warning
Or take it any way you like
It's the lightening, not the thunder
You never know when it's going to strike

Our love's in jeopardy, baby
Oooooooo
Our love's in jeopardy, baby
Oooooooo

Don't be cute, don't be funny now
It's later than you think
Oh what's the use? Oh save your money now
It's hanging on the brink

Don't let go while I'm hanging on
Cuz I've been hanging on so long
It's so hard to be all alone
I know you're not that strong, yea, yea

Our love's in jeopardy, baby
Ooooooo
Our love's in jeopardy, baby
Ooooooo

Don't let go
While I'm hanging on
Cuz I've been hanging on so long
It's so hard to be all alone
I know you're not that strong, yea, yea

Our love's in jeopardy, baby
Ooooooo
Our love's in jeopardy, baby
Ooooooo

Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through

It's important to me that you know you are free
'cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should

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"

So you think you're a Romeo
Playing a part in a picture show
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

'Cause you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're feeling good?
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
All the greenery is comin' down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture
Oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice

When lonely days turn to lonely nights
You take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
Take the long way home

You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home
Take the long way home

And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable
Oh, unforgettable, how they adore you
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity
Oh, calamity, is there no way out?
Oh, yeah

Ooh

Ooh, yeah

Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy
When you look through the years and see what you could have been
Oh, what you might have been if you'd have had more time

So when the day comes to settle down
Who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the long way home
You took the long way home
You took the long way home (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
You took the long way home
You took the long way home (Oh, yeah)
You took the long way home
You took the long way home (Ooh, yeah)
You took the long way home

Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Long way home
Long way home

Turn it up...

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the Southland
I miss ol' Bamee once again
And I think it's a sin, yes

Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard ol' Neil put her down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm comin' home to you

In Birmingham they love the gov'nor, booo hooo hooo
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm comin' home to you
Here I come, Alabama

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
(yes they do)
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feelin' blue
Now how 'bout you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm comin' home to you

Sweet home Alabama
Oh, sweet home
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor's true
Sweet home Alabama
Lordy
Lord, I'm comin' home to you
Yeah, yeah

My, Montgomery's got the answer.

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh, I hope that it won't end though
Alone

'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight
Oh, you don't know how long I have waited
And I was gonna tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone

Oh
'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone
Alone

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime

And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through
And we mean to go on and on and on

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I never lose
And I need to go on and on and on

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

Boy! Boy!

Now in the street there is violence
And - and a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And - and I can't blame all on the sun

Oh no we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Workin' so hard like a soldier
Can't afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart I abhor ya
Can't get food for the kid

Good God - we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no

Oh no we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Who is to blame in one country
Never can get to the one
Dealin' in multiplication
And they still can't feed everyone

Oh no we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
and then we'll take it higher
Oh no we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
and then we'll take it higher

Out in the street (Electric Avenue)
Out in the street (Electric Avenue)
Out in the playground (Electric Avenue)
In the dark side of town (Electric Avenue)

Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Out in the street
Out in the street
Out in the playground
In the dark side of town

Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Hey, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Ohh yeah, higher
(Rock it in the daytime,
Rock it in the night)
