You know I got to show you

Ever gave me such
A beautiful feeling

Oh, woman, you
Touched a-my soul now
Honey, don't you let go now

Hold on

Opened up my eyes and
You reached out and
Took my hand

Woman, don't let go now
Hold on, baby
Just a little bit tighter

Hold on, baby
Just a little bit tighter

There's times I thought I'd been misunderstood - ooh yeah

Things have gone astray

We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear

You're still the one I want to talk to in bed
Still the one that turns my head
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

I looked at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow

You're still the one that makes me laugh
Still the one that's my better half
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You're still the one that makes me strong
Still the one I want to take along
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

Changing, our love it comes and goes
Even though we grow, it grows too

You're still the one that I love to touch
Still the one and I can't get enough
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You're still the one who can scratch my itch
Still the one that I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You are still the one that makes me shout
Still the one that I dream about
We're still having fun, and you're still the one...

You're still the one
Yeah, still the one
We're still having fun
And you're still the one

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Well, you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawlin'
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"

Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
Well, I don't think I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Well, you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawlin'
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"

Yeah, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new sh*** and a case
I said to my reflection, "let's get out of this place"
Past the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill
The billboards and the buildings, memories of it still
Keep calling and calling, but forget it all, I know I will

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel
The people keep on crowding, I'm wishing I was well
I said, "It's no occasion, it's no story I can tell"
At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer, I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction, I wish that it would stop

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection, "tell me, what is there to do?"

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
What's going on, what's going on
What's going on, what's going on

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Simply 'cos our hair is long
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
What's going on, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on

Way back when, in '67
I was the dandy of Gamma Chi
Sweet things from Boston, so young and willing
Moved down to Scarsdale, where the hell am I?

Hey, 19
(No, we can't dance together) We can't dance together
(No, we can't talk at all)
Please take me along when you slide on down

Hey, 19, that's 'Retha Franklin
She don't remember the Queen of Soul
It's hard times befallen the soul survivors
She thinks I'm crazy, but I'm just growing old

Hey, 19
(No, we got nothing in common) We can't dance together
(No, we can't talk at all)
Please take me along when you slide on down

Nice
Sure looks good
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Skate a little lower now

(The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing)

Say it again
(The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing)

(The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing)

(No, we can't dance together
No, we can't talk at all)

Cruisin down the motorway
Got my girl by my side
We're both a little anxious
Ooo, we got love on our mind
Waitin, anticipatin
For the fireworks in the night
Well I swear we were doin eighty
When we saw those motel lights

(CHORUS)
And we were rockin into the night
Rockin into the night
Ooo hoo rockin
Rockin into the night
Rockin into the night

Yeah, out on the back street
Taking love where I can
I found a sweet madonna
Ooo, with a bible in her hand
She's waiting, anticipating well
For someone to save her soul
Well I ain't no new messiah
But I'm close enough for rock and roll

(CHORUS)
And I'm slowin down
And she's pullin in

Waitin, anticipatin
For the fireworks in the night
Well I swear we were doin eighty
When we saw those motel lights

We were rockin, rockin
Into the night
Ooo yeah
Rockin into the night
Rockin into the night
Hoo rockin

Quite some time, I been sittin' it out
Didn't take no chances, I was a prisoner of doubt
I knocked down the wailin' wall, ain't no sin
Got the feel of fortune, deal me in

Comin' straight on for you
You made my mind
Now I'm stronger, now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you

Now I know I got to play my hand
What the winner don't know, a gambler understands
My heart keeps playin' it through with you, my friend
I'll take my chances on you again and again, again

Comin' straight on for you
You made my mind
Now I'm stronger, now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you

Comin' straight on for you
You made my mind
And now I'm stronger, now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on, straight on
Straight on for you
Straight on for you

You made my mind
Now I'm stronger, now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on, straight on
I'm straight on for you
Straight on for you

Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one-track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to

Shout (jump for) shout (joy), let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to

Shout (tell the) shout (tale), let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on


Shout, shout, let it all out (let it all out...)
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, so come on

And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break

Shout (break your), shout (heart), let it all out
These are the things I can do without (I'd really love to break your heart)
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, so come on

Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you
It's late September, and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts

The morning sun, when it's in your face, really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover, and, mother, what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home 'cause you didn't wanna be alone
You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock 'n' roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh, Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway

Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days
Whoo-hoo-hoo
