December's Children [and Everybody's] lyrics

So now that she is gone
You won't be sad for long
For maybe just an hour or just a moment
Of the day
Then blue turns to grey
And try as you may
You just don't feel good
You don't feel alright
And you know that you must find her, find her, find her

You think you'll have a ball
And you won't care at all
You'll find another girl or maybe more
To pass the time away

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor
of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up
like a Union Jack
And says, I've won five pounds if I have his
kind of detergent pack

I say, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Now look what you've done
Now look what you've done
Look what you've done baby
Now look what you've done
You left me here
The lonely one
And all I can say
Is look what you've done

A broken heart
A worried mind
Because of you baby
Dying all the time
I once had a dream
But now I've none
Your taking your love
And see what it done

I saw you last night
Out moving round

Baby, the truth is out so don't deny
Baby, to think I believed all your lies
Darlin I can't stand to see your face
It's the truth, you understand
I got to get away, got to get away,
gotta, gotta, gotta get away
Got to get away

Baby, I don't want to live here no more
Baby, tho' I tore your pictures off my walls
Darlin, this old room's falling in on me
You understand the truth now

Dam deedle dee dam dam
Little girl, where did you come from?
Try a little bit to make my mouth dribble
Come on baby, let's ride away in the rain

Baby you drive me crazy
Drive my poor heart hazy
Just a little bit
A little while with you
Come on baby, let's ride away in the rain

She said yeah, dam deedle dee dam dam
She said yeah, dam deedle dee dam dam

Ev'rywhere you want I always go
I always give in because, baby, you know
You just say so 'cause you give me that
feeling inside that I know must be right
It's the singer not the song

It's not the way you give in willingly
Others do it without thrilling me
Giving me that same old feeling inside that I
know I must be right
It's the singer not the song

You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love
You tell me, I'm not the man she's worthy of
But who are you to tell her who to love?
That's up to her, yes, and the Lord above
You better move on

Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes
But I believe she's happy with me without those things
Still you beg me to set her free
But my friend, that will never be
You better move on

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see, but not for me
I sit and watch as tears go by
My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I ever hear is the sound of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch as tears go by

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play

I'm free to do what I want
any old time
I'm free to do what I want
any old time
So love me, hold me, love me,
hold me
I'm free any old time to get
what I want
I'm free to sing my song tho'
it is out of time
I'm free to sing my song tho'
it is out of time
So love me, hold me, love me,
hold me
But I'm free any old time to get
what I want

Love me, hold me, love me,
hold me

Well if you ever plan to motor west
Just take my way that's the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than 2000 miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66

Well goes from St. Louie down to Missouri
Oklahoma city looks oh so pretty
You'll see Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona don't forget Winona
