Capitol Collectors Series lyrics

I'm in love with the girl that I'm talking about,
I'm in love with the girl I can't live without.
I'm in love but I sure picked a bad time ...
To be in love, to be in love.

Well, let her be somebody else's queen,
I don't want to know about it.
There's too many others that know what I mean,
And, that's why I got to live without it.

I'm in love with the girl I'm talking about,

Everybody listen to me
And return me my ship
I'm your captain
I'm your captain
Though I'm feeling mighty sick

I've been lost now for days uncounted
And it's months since I've seen home
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Or am I all alone?

If you return me to my home port
I will kiss you Mother Earth
Take me back now
Take me back now
To the port of my birth

(bridge)
Am I in my cabin dreaming?

Come on everybody, we're gonna' have a good time, yeah,
Gimmie' all the love that's in ya', I'm gonna' give ya' mine.
I wanna' hear some hand clappin', I want you to get in the groove,
We're gonna' play this footstompin' music, everybody get up and groove, yeah.

Oooo-Oooo, Oooo-oooo.
Oooo-Oooo, Oooo-oooo.
Oooo-Oooo, Oooo-oooo.
Oooo-Oooo, Oooo-oooo.
Oooo-Oooo, Oooo-oooo.
Oooo-Oooo, Oooo-oooo.

Everybody,
listen to me,
and return me, my ship.
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
though I'm feeling mighty sick.
I've been lost now,
days uncounted,
and it's months since,
I've seen home.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
or am I all alone?
If you return me,
to my home port,
I will kiss you,
mother earth.
Take me back now, take me back now,
to the port, of my birth.
Am I in my cabin dreaming,

Once I had a little girl, sometimes I think about her,
But, buddy, you know she's not really there.
When memories do call, I just, I just can't live without her
But tryin' all the time is so hard to bear.

CHORUS
Heartbreaker, can't take her,
Heartbreaker, bringing me down.
Heartbreaker, can't take her,
Heartbreaker, bringing me down.

I don't cry no more, I live while I'm flying,

I'm sitting here lonely like a broken man.
I serve my time doin' the best I can.
Walls and bars they surround me.
But, I don't want no sympathy.
No baby, no baby,
All I need is some tender lovin'.
To keep me sane in this burning oven.
And, when my time is up, you'll be my reefer.
Life gets worse on God's green earth.
Be my reefer, got to keep smokin' that thing.
No, no, no, no, no, no.

Mean mistreater, you make me cry,
You lay around, and watch me die.
Mean mistreater, can't you see I'm real?
Are you satisfied, with the way you feel?

I've tried hard to live without you, in so many ways.
I just can't help myself from thinking of you, for the rest of my days.
Heartache is at my door step, won't leave me alone.
I just can't get used to it, now that I'm on my own.

We're having a party, yeah, yeah, everybody's invited,
The new generation along with the old.
If you could get with it just a little more, it don't take much tryin',
You'll find out if you've got some rock roll soul, baby.

Ain't everybody in the world. So when you know what you got, let everybody know,
You got some rock roll soul.
So when you know what you got, let everybody know,

Shinin' On
Grand Funk Railroad

We are winners and losers, bed fellow choosers,
Put here to pass by the times.
We are space-age sailors, all had our failures,
Now everybody gonna' shine.

Keep it shinin' on.
Keep it shinin' on.

See the fire within them burnin',
Touch the fire make me feel so fine.
Keep the fire within you livin'
Everybody gonna' shine, shine, shine.

Keep it shinin' on.

I don't need a whole lots of money,
I don't need a big fine car.
I got everything that a man could want,
I got more than I could ask for.
I don't have to run around,
I don't have to stay out all night.
'Cause I got me a sweet ... a sweet, lovin' woman,
And she knows just how to treat me right.

Well my baby, she's alright,
Well my baby, she's clean out-of-sight.

1:
Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it
If you give it a chance now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your a b c's
So come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me

You gotta swing your hips now
Come on baby, jump up, hmmm jump back
Oh well I think you got the knack

2:

Well a hey there baby
do you want to make the scene
well a hey there baby
do you want to make the scene
ahhh well come on over baby
step into my time machine

you better jump into my action
i'm gonna make you feel right
jump into my action
i'm gonna make you feel right
don't worry bout tomorrow
cause i'm gonna love you tonite

step into the front row
i'm gonna show you how

Walk like a man
And talk like a man
Walk like a man baby
You can call me your man

A little girl asked me what am I gonna do
When I get old and blue and worn clear through
And I said by that time I'm gonna be in my prime
I'm gonna strut like a cock until I'm 99

I'm gonne walk like a man
And talk like a man
Walk like a man baby
You can call me your man

Sometimes I feel it's getting late

We're An American Band
Grand Funk Railroad

Out on the road for forty days
Last night in Little Rock, put me in a haze
Sweet, sweet Connie, doin' her act
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact

Up all night with Freddie King
I got to tell you, poker's his thing
Booze and ladies, keep me right
As long as we can make it to the show tonight

We're an American Band
We're an American Band
