I like the way your sparkling earrings lay,
Against your skin, it’s so brown
And I wanna sleep with you
In the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around
’cause I gotta peaceful easy feeling
And I know you won’t let me down
’cause I’m already standing on the
Ground
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Ah, but she can’t take you anyway
You don’t already know how to go
And I gotta peaceful, easy feeling
And I know you won’t let me down
’cause I’m already standing on the ground
I get this feeling I may know you
As a lover and a friend
But this voice keeps whispering
In my other ear, tells me
I may never see you again
’cause I get a peaceful, easy feeling
And I know you won’t let me down
’cause I’m already standing on the ground
’cause I’m already standing...
On the ground
Oooo, oooo
Pretty woman
Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman
I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy
Pretty woman, won't you pardon me
Pretty woman, I couldn't help see
Pretty woman
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me
Wow
Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, gave your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah yeah yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you, I'll trear you right
Come with me baby, be mine tonight
Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away, hey...okay
If that's the way it must be, okay
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow nigh, but wait
What do I see
Is she walking back to me
Yeah, she's walking back to me
Oh, oh, Pretty woman
Red, Red Wine
Red, red wine goes to my head,
Makes me forget that I still need her so
Red, red wine, it's up to you
All I can do I've done
Memories won't go, memories won't go
Life is fine every time,
Thoughts of you leave my head
I was wrong, now I find
Just one thing makes me forget
Red, red wine, stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart my blue heart
Red red wine, you make me feel so fine,
You keep me rockin' all of the time
Red red wine, you make me feel so grand,
I feel a million dollar when you're just in my hand
Red red wine, you make me feel so sad,
Any time I see you go, it make me feel bad
Red red wine, you make me feel so fine,
Monkey back and ease up on the sweet deadline
Red red wine, you give me holy pahzing
Holy pahzing, you make me do my own thing
Red red wine, you give me not awful love
Your kind of lovin' like a blessing from above
Red red wine, I loved you right from the start,
Right from the start, and with all of my heart
Red red wine in an eighties style
Red red wine in a modern beat style
Yeah
Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind
Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind
Give me red wine, the kind make me feel fine
You make me feel fine all of the time
Red red wine, you make me feel so fine
Monkey back and ease up on the sweet deadline
The line broke, the money get choked,
Bunbah, ganjapani, little rubber boat
Red red wine, I'm gonna hold on to you,
Hold on to you 'cause I know you love truth
Red red wine, I'm gonna love you till I die,
Love you till I die, and that's no lie
Red red wine, can't get your off my mind
Wherever you may be, I'll surely find,
I'll surely find. Make no fuss, just leave us
Rock 'n' roll is king
Listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the rock 'n' roll
Feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul
She said come along with me, to a land of make believe
She said rock 'n' roll is king
She loves that rock 'n' roll and she plays it all night long
That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
She says feel that jumpin' beat, and git up on your feet
She says rock 'n' roll is king
Oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be
It rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back
She loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street
She said rock 'n' roll is king
When she comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cause all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
Now here I'm gonna stay where that music starts to play
She says rock 'n' roll is king

Seasons In The Sun
Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
like the seasons have all gone
So serious
Night after night, I try to make it all fit together
Night after night, I see you as someone I remember
You took me by surprise, opened up my eyes
Now we gotta talk this over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious
Day after day, I know it's not the way that you wanted it
Day after day, I try to find the key but it don't fit
But you how it is, no matter what I did
We gotta talk it over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious
Tonight, tonight, I'm thinking over everything you said to me
Tonight, tonight, I'm sorry but I just didn't see
And now it's up to you, there's nothing else to do
We've gotta talk it over
Can it really be so serious, to be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch, but can it really be so serious
Sorry
Sorry is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like sorry, like sorry
Forgive me
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like forgive me, forgive me
But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you'd be mine
I love you
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like I love you, I love you
But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you'd be mine
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you'd be mine
You'd be mine
You'd be mine
Still got the blues
Used to be so easy to give my heart away.
But I found out the hard way,
there's a price you have to pay.
I found out that love was no friend of mine.
I should have known time after time.
So long, it was so long ago,
but I've still got the blues for you.
Used to be so easy to fall in love again.
But I found out the hard way,
it's a road that leads to pain.
I found that love was more than just a game.
You're playin' to win, but you lose just the same.
So long, it was so long ago,
but I've still got the blues for you.
So many years since I've seen your face.
Here in my heart, there's an empty space
where you used to be.
So long, it was so long ago,
but I've still got the blues for you.
Though the days come and go,
there is one thing I know.
I've still got the blues for you.
Stranger in my life
I became a part of the story
here I go whaen I came to this town
I had a strange feeling
but I decided to stay
I remember the sound of the train was like thunder
going to town it was pulling me under
mysterious voices
put a spell on my rain
Walked for hours looking for a place to stay
Found a hotel room and moved in on that day
But there was some real strong
possessing me
Straight across from my window
I could see
someone's shadow staring straight at me
I wondered who could it be
Who could it be
There's a stranger in my life I know I know
A stranger in my life
It cuts just like a knife I know Iknow
A stranger in my life
Take one night I had to find an answer
Walked on over and knocked on door
I had it no more
get my feet back on floor
Lights were down the shadow just disappeared
I was scared but I didn't know what to fear
I wondered where did it go
Where did it go
There's a stranger in my life…
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way
Through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven.
Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
The Boxer
I am just a poor boy.
Though my story's seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles,
Such are ppromises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.
When I left my home
And my family,
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station,
Running scared,
Laying low,
Seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go,
Looking for the places
Only they would know.
Lie-la-lie.....
Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job,
But I get no offers.
Just a come-on from the whores
On Seventh Avenue
I do declare,
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there.
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters
Aren't bleeding me,
Leading me,
Going home.
In the clearing stands a boxer,
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame,
"I am leaving, I am leaving."
But the fighter still remains
Total eclipse of the heart
Turn around every now and then I get a little bit lonely
and you're never coming round.
Turn around every now and then I get a little bit tired
of list ning to the sound of my tears.
Turn around every now and then I get a little bit nervous
that the best of all the years have gone by.
Turn around every now and then I get a little bit terrified
and then I see the look in your eyes.
Turn around, bright eyes every now and then I fall apart.
Turn around, bright eyes every now and then I fall apart.
Turn around every now and then I get a little bit restless
and I dream of something wild.
Turn around every now and then I get a little bit helpless
and I'm lying like a child in your arms.
Turn around every now and then I get a little bit angry
and I know I've got to get out and cry.
Turn around every now and then I get a little bit terrified
but then I see the look in your eyes.
Turn around, bright eyes every now and the I fall apart.
Turn around, bright eyes every now and the I fall apart.
And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever
and if you only hold me tight we'll be holding on forever.
And we'll only be making it right 'cause we'll never be wrong.
Together we can take it to the end of the line.
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time.
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark.
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks.
I really need you tonight, forever's gonna start tonight,
forever's gonna start tonight.
Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling apart.
There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.
Once upon a time there was light in my life but now there's only love in
the dark.
Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart.
Turn around every now and then I know you'll never be the boy
you always wanted to be.
Turn around but every now and then I know you'll always be
the only boy who wanted me the way that I am.
Turn around every now and then I know there's no one in the universe
as magical and wondrous as you.
Turn around every now and then I know there's nothing any better,
there's nothing that I just wouldn't do.
Turn around, bright eyes every now and then I fall apart.
Turn around, bright eyes every now and then I fall apart.
And I need you now tonight...
Once upon a time I was...
twist in my sobriety
All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
In the morning when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
We just poked a little pie
For the fun that people have at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free
I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll
Cup of tea take time to think yeah
Time to risk a life a life a life
Sweet and handsome soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light
Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell
We are the champions
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
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've 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 ain't gonna lose -
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 –

Wild World
La la la la la...
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say that you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart, you're leaving
Baby, I'm grieving
If you want to leave, take good care
Hope you find a lot of nice things to wear
Then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by, just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you
Like a child, girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Cause I never wanna see you sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
Now if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
Just remember there's a lot, I'd beware
Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world..
If you want to leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot, I'd beware
Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world..
wonderful tonight
It’s late in the evening
She’s wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
Do I look alright
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That’s walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alright
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight
I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don’t realize
How much I love you
It’s time to go home now
And I’ve got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
You got it
Everytime I look
Into your lovely eyes
I see a love that money
Just can't buy
One look from you
I drift away
I pray that you
Are here to stay
Anything you want
You got it
Anything you need
You got it
Anything at all
You got it
Everytime I hold you
I begin to understand
Everything about you
Tells me I'm your best friend
I live my life
To be with you
No one can do
The things you do
I'm glad to give
My love to you
I know you feel
The way I do… |
