I know we can make it baby
If only we try
Let's hang on to love
And don't let it die
Even though

CHORUS:
It's been touch and go
Off and on
Weak and strong
But then we didn't know
That with hope, we could cope
With all the ups and downs
So please stay around
I need you so

I'd give you a bed of roses
Right here in my arms
But you got to take
The sweet with the thorns
And I know

If you're gonna let me down, let me down easy
So I won't be too hurt after you're gone
And if you're gonna let me down ah set me down easy
From that special cloud you put me on
Let me down easy, let me down slow

And if you're gonna leave me
Ah honey please me a memory to soften up the fall
And if you're gonna let me down ah let me down easy
Ah baby please don't let me down at all

Here, here in this world
Where do we go
Where can we turn
When we need some love
It seems that love just can't be found
Where, where do we stand
When love's supply don't meet love's demands

We got enough stars to light the sky at night
Enough sun to make the whole world bright
We got more than enough
But there's one thing there's just not enough of...

CHORUS:

Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big so big and strong
The man, the man that I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay

He's gonna look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He's gonna grab, he's gonna grab my hand
And though I know it seems obscure
I know it won't say
We won't say a word

CHORUS:

The night is bitter.
The stars have lost their glitter.
The wind grows colder and suddenly you're older.
And all because of the man that got away.

No more his eager call.
Oh the writing's on the wall.
Dreams have all gone astray.

The man that won you
Has gone off and undone you.
That great beginning
Has seen its final inning.
Don't know what happened.
It's all a crazy game.

The fortune queen of New Orleans
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the back seat were scratches
From the marks of men her fortune she had won
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
She said, "Home James" and he hit the gas
I followed her to some darkened room
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"

CHORUS:
Dark lady laughed and danced

I was born in the wagon of a travellin’ show
My mama used to dance for the money they’d throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of doctor good

Chorus
Gypsys, tramps, and thieves
We’d hear it from the people of the town
They’d call us gypsys, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around

My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The indians said that I was white by law
The white man always called me "Indian Squaw"

HALF-BREED
that's all I ever heard

HALF-BREED
how I learned to hate the word

HALF-BREED
she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born.

We never settled went from town to town

The road is long, with many a winding turns
That leads us to go-who knows where
Who know where
But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go, his welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bare, we'll get there
For I know he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness

You were the only thing I had
How could a good love go so bad?
Somehow I guess I should have known
That you would leave me here alone
They say you found somebody new
But that won't change my love for you
How could you leave me on my own?
You know I hate to sleep alone
Remember how it used to be(used to be)
When you were here with me(here with me)
You were the only one I've known

I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good
[Chorus:]
"Gypsies, tramps and thieves"
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us "gypsies, tramps and thieves"
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down

Just yesterday morning
They let me know that you were gone
Susan the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
[Chorus:]
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days
That I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times
When I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

I can find a four-leaf clover rainbow
I could find it if I wanted to
I believe if you put your mind to something
Well there ain't anything in this world
You could not do
What I can't find
One honest man
Why can't I find me
One honest man
Don't understand
The only thing I ever wanted
Was a little bouquet of truth from him
But he gave me all the things
You can't be loving

I know we can make it baby
If only we try
Lets hang on to love
And don't let it die
Even though
[Chorus:]
It's been touch and go
On and on we get strong
But then we didn't know
That we'd hope we could cope
With all the ups and downs
So please stay around
I need you so
I'd give you a bed of roses
Right here in my arms
But you got to take the sweet with the thorns
And I know
[Chorus]

When you meet a boy that you like a lot
And you fall in love, but he loves you not
If a flame should start as you hold him near
Better keep your heart out of danger, dear
For the way of love is a way of woe
And the day may come when you'll see him go
Then what will ya do when he sets you free
Just the way that you said goodbye to me
When you meet a boy that you like a lot

When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know
Cause I love you just enough
To let you go
While you're running free and clear
Please don't disappear
When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know
When you find out where you're goin'
Count me in
And I'll never put you down
For where you've been
And I'll join you when you find
That peace within your mind
When you find out where you're goin'

They go off leaving me behind
They have so many worlds to find
I run to catch a glimpse of them
Just walking in the sun
Knowing they'll be mine again
When evening has begun
And when I see them hand in hand
The boy who walks beside the man
I pray that I will always have the world
That I have found
The husband and the son
That I have built my life around
[Chorus:]

Don't make no difference
If you lay down and cry
You know that you lied to me
And if you come to me with tears in your eyes
Don't say "good-bye", just leave
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm in the middle of something
I don't understand
How can my reason for living
Slip right through my hand
I'm in the middle of something
I don't understand
And it looks like I lose again
Don't make no difference

Now I ain't lookin'
To compete with you
Beat on, cheat on, mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy, mystify you

CHORUS:
All I really want to do
Is baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you

Now I ain't lookin'
To fight with you
Frighten you or uptight you
Drag you down or drain you down
Chain you down or bring you down

Chorus

I ain't lookin' to block you up

Bang bang, you shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

I was five and you were six
We rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black, you wore white
You would always win the fight

Bang bang, you shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

I found the boy for me
He's my dream baby

He doesn't know that I
That I almost die when
When he walks by says hello
He's unlike the guys in books, he's
Not really great on looks, but
But I don't care, I love him so

CHORUS:
And I feel so good whenever he's around
Feel so good when he's around
Wo oh oh oh, I dream of him each night, I
Dream that he holds me tight

When I look up from my pillow
I dream you are there with me
Though you are far away
I know you always be near to me

CHORUS:
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I look around me and feel
That you are ever so close to me
Those tears that fall from my eyes
Bring back memories of you and me

Chorus

I'll send away all my false pride
And I'll forsake all of my life
Yes I'll be as true as true can be
If you'll come and stay with me

All lovers of the past, I'll leave behind
They'll never be another on my mind
I'll do all I can so you'll feel free
If you'll come and stay with me

The promise I made most faithfully
I'll keep still if you decide to leave

Where do you go
When it starts to rain
Where will you sleep
When the night time comes
What do you do
When your heart's in pain
Where will you run
When the right time comes
These are the things
That I want to know
Where will you hide
When the lights are low
Where do you go
When it starts to rain
Where will you sleep
When the night time comes

When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you
And now you've gone away

Don't you see that now you're gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you
And beg you to come home

CHORUS:
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me believe me

Saw him today
I saw his face, it was the face I love
And I knew I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away but still they begin

Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Hey I thought I was smart
I'd won his heart
I didn't think I'd lose
But I see she worst to him than me
Let him go ahead take her love instead
And one day he will see

You might wake up some morning
To the sound of something moving
Pass your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'd met the fleeting glimpse
Of someone's fading shadows

Out on a new horizon
You may see the boat in motion
Of a distant carib wind
And if you need press your ear
You might hear footsteps running
Through an open meadow

CHORUS:

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it
out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong,
Alfie,
what will you lend on an old golden
rule?

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and then it eased my pain
Now the dark days are gone and bright days are here
My Sunny once shined so sincere, Sunny once so true
I love you I love you

Sunny thank you for the sunshine you gave to me
Sunny thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
And now I feel that I'm 10 feet tall

Behind the door of every house,
In every street, in every town
A story is unfolding
A story is unfolding of love and hate
The most of us wait of hopes and fears
Of smiles and tears of dreams
That lies a moldering

Behind the door of every house,
In every street, in every town
The stage is set for playing
The stage is set for playing
And I call crime and punch your mime

(Somthing's In The Air)
I feel something in the air
Something that was never there
I feel something started to live in me
Something only God could give to me
Could give to me

CHORUS:
I feel magic every where
Even though I'm supposed to care
About all the things that my neighbors
Will think of me and how I should act
When they said what a nice girl
I used to be, I used to be

CHORUS:
Mama when my dollies have babies
And I am a big lady
Mama will a prince come and take me away

When I said these things I believed in kings
Then I didn't know love could hurt me so
Slowly she replied, tears had filled her eyes
Baby not so fast let your young life last

Chorus

I sang to her in fun, my teens had just began
My age was not the same still we played the game

Hey Joe where are you going
With that gun in your hand
I said now
Hey Joe where are you going
With that gun in your hand

Going down to shoot my old lady
Cause you know
I caught her messing a round town
I'm going down to shoot my old lady
Cause I caught her messing around
With another man

Hey Joe I heard you shot your woman down
Shot her down
Hey I said hey Joe

Better sit down kids
I'll tell you why, kids
You might not understand, kids
But give it a try, kids
Now how should I put this
I've got something to say
You mother is staying
But I'm going away
No, we're not mad, kids
It's hard to say why
Your mother and I
Don't see eye to eye

Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on

Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes haaa

When she walks it's like a samba
That sways so sweet and swings so gently
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes haaa

Ooh but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes he would give his hide gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea

It's not unusual to be love by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
When I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry
I wanna die

It's not unusual to go out at anytime
When I see you out and about it's such a crime
If you should ever want to be love by anyone
It's not unusual it happens every day
No matter what you say
