I'll tell you from the start He's gonna break your heart You can't stop the lover boy You can't stop the lover boy He's gonna tell you lies But you won't realize Because you can't stop the lover boy You can't stop the lover boy He's got a thing in his head It's from a book he's read It's got a funny title It tells you how to be vital He took a lot of time Over every line Because it's guaranteed To satisfy The lover boy - He's gonna knock 'em dead He treats 'em like a toy - The boy's got that book read You can't stop the lover boy You can't stop the lover boy Right from the clothes he wears The way he combs his hair You can't stop him now because he knows all the tricks He used to have a problem but he got it fixed He took a small apartment Above a shoe department And he could see from his window All the lights in the street glow There's a club on the corner And tonight he will go there To find a new affair So all you ladies beware Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah Nah, nah, nah, nah Nah, nah, nah, nah Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah Nah, nah, nah, nah Nah, nah, nah, nah He's got to have a good time in the city He's got to have a good time every night He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right He's got to have a good time in the city He's got to have a good time every night He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right He's got to have a good time in the city He's got to have a good time every night He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah Nah, nah, nah, nah Nah, nah, nah, nah Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah, nah Nah, nah, nah, nah Nah, nah, nah, nah
Even in the quietest moments I wish I knew What I had to do And even though the sun is shining Well I feel the rain Here it comes again, dear And even when you showed me My heart was out of tune For there's a shadow of doubt That's not letting me find you too soon The music that you gave me The language of my soul Oh Lord, I want to be with you Won't you let me come in from the cold? Don't you let the sun fade away Don't you let the sun fade away Don't you let the sun be leaving Won't you come to me soon And even though the stars are listening And the ocean's deep I just go to sleep And then I create the silent movie You become the star Is that what you are, dear? Your whisper tells a secret Your laughter brings me joy And a wonder of feeling I'm Nature's own little boy But still the tears keep falling They're raining from the sky Well there's a lot of me got to go under Before I get high Don't you let the sun disappear Don't you let the sun disappear Don't you let the sun be leaving No, you can't be leaving my life Say that you won't be leaving my life Say that you won't be leaving my life Say won't you please, stay won't you please Say won't you please, stay won't you please Lord, won't you come and get into my life Lord, won't you come and get into my life Say won't you please, stay won't you please Say won't you please, stay won't you please Oh Lord, don't go And even when the song is over Where have I been Was it just a dream? And though your door is always open Where do I begin May I please come in, dear?
Took a boat Sunday, down by the sea It just felt so nice, you and me We didn't have a problem or a care And all around was silence, everywhere You are the reason I was born Be with you through all seasons, I'll always hear you when you call We'll keep the love light shining through each night and day A lonely life behind me, oh what a change you've made So down here on the ocean we will stay Went through a lot of changes Turned a lot of pages When I took a boat Sunday To know you as I know you now, that is all I need And we will get along somehow, if we both believe So down here on the ocean we will stay Went through a lot of changes Turned a lot of pages When I took a boat Sunday
All of my life I felt that you were listening Watching for ways to help me stay in tune Lord of my dreams Although confusion keeps trying to deceive Oh, what is it that makes me believe in you? Babaji, oh won't you come to me Won't you help me face the music Bring it out so we can sing it out Help us to find it before we lose it At night when the stars are near And there's no one to keep you from coming here And there's no one to shield me before your eyes Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know? I can see, it's not too good to me To be afloat in the sea of glory Oh Babaji, oh how you comfort me By showing me it's a different story Your light in the dark is real And I know that you know it is how I feel When I see the reflection that's in your eyes Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know? Babaji, have you a song for me To tell the world of its guardian angel Bring it out so we can sing it out Oh must you always remain a stranger? At night when the stars are near And I long for delusion to disappear Then I see the reflection that's in your eyes Is it time, Is it time, Is it time, Is it time Is it time, Is it time, Is it time to know oh, oh, oh I said I'm calling you Babaji - Babaji I said I'm calling you Babaji - Babaji oh-oh, sing it Bababji - Babaji Can you hear me Babaji - Babaji ...
Monday has come around again I'm in the same old place With the same old faces always watching me Who knows how long I'll have to stay Could be a hundred years of sweat and tears At the rate that I get paid Sometimes I slowly drift away From all the dull routine That's with me every day A fantasy will come to me Diamonds are what I really need Think I'll rob a store, escape the law And live in Italy Lately my luck has been so bad You know the roulette wheel's A crooked deal, I'm loosing all I had Soon be like a man that's on the run And live from day to day Never needing anyone Play hide and seek, throughout the week My life is full of romance Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy That's the way it's got to be From now on Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy No it won't be really me From now on You think I'm crazy I can see It's you for you, and me for me Living in a fantasy From now on Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy That's the way it's got to be From now on Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy It's you for you, and me for me From now on Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy That's the way it's got to be From now on Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy It's you for you, and me for me From now on Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy That's the way it's got to be From now on
History recalls how great the fall can be While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea Borne on the wings of time It seemed the answers were so easy to find "Too late", the prophets cry The island's sinking, let's take to the sky Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride Everyone was laughing up until the day he died And though the wound went deep Still he's calling us out of our sleep My friends, we're not alone He waits in silence to lead us all home So you tell me that you find it hard to grow Well I know, I know, I know And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow Well I know, I know, I know Can you hear what I'm saying Can you see the parts that I'm playing Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie So you found your solution What will be your last contribution? Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy? Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy Yeah!
