Leo Sayer lyrics

hanging out with the nighttime clienteleplace your ladder for the social climbsame old routine that you know so wellanother opening and another lineit's the cool touchyeah the cool touch
call your lover on the mobile phonec'mon over we'll have some funleave a message sayin' there's no one homeI guess the good times just begunit's the cool touchyeah the cool touch

Russell Smith & James Brown
standing beside of the ocean
looking out across the water
everything is beautiful
but I still don't feel like I oughta
things we wanted, not so long ago
I got 'em all now, babe
but I ain't got you no more
still I remember
the way you held me
and all the sweet things you used to say
when we were two young lovers
dancing the night away

Writers: Leo Sayer & Ray Parker, Jr.

on every corner of every avenue
the word's been passed all around
better watch out, lock up your daughters
'cause that bad frankie lee is back in town
all the ladies fall for frankie
sayin, frankie lee, how can it be
of all the men here, you're the only one
who's got the key, to set us free
oh, frankie lee

Writers: Billy Nicholls

so you're leaving
in the morning
on the early train
I could say everything's alright
I could pretend and say good bye

got your ticket
got your suitcase
got your leaving smile
I could say that's the way it goes
I could pretend and you won't know
that I was lying

'cause I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you

Writers: Andy Fairweather Low

don't look back, that'll get you nowhere
a wall to wall suit and space circus hair
one step forward, one step back
that's what happens and that's a fact

to tell the truth, you raise up your hand
don't write me no invitations in the sand
and when you talk, say what you mean
just keep it dry, lord, and keep it clean

watch out for la booga rooga

the first time I met youI knew that I was gonna fallyou took me you shook meyou put me higher on the wall
but I love it you're my favoritewon't change it for anything at allI can't do I won't do won't undoanything at all 'bout you
your walk and your look andyour smile and little things you dopromises of kisses you wish isnever to be blue

imagine the space as it used to bethere were fields of cornthere were big oak treesbut a woman in a suit bulldozed it clearbuilt a concrete world full of crocodile tears
and we don't understandthat we all have a part in a government planit's a hard shotto be the people in the place that the world forgotin a paperback town

Writers: Johnny Vastano & Tom Snow

you should have been there when I gave the news
I know you would have been surprised to see
the smoke and the fire that was comin' out of me
now that I've finally shaken you loose
and I have cut the chains that held me back
feelin' more and more like a train rolling down the track

running to my freedom
I ain't never gonna give it back

Writers: Jackson Browne

the papers lie there hopelessly
in a pile outside the door
I tried and tried, but I just can't remember
what they're for
the world outside is tugging
like a beggar at my sleeve
ah, that's much too old a story to believe

and you know, that it's taken it's share of me
even though you take such good care of me

the papers lie there hopelesslyin a pile outside the doorI tried and tried, but I just can't rememberwhat they're forthe world outside is tugginglike a beggar at my sleeveah, that's much too old a story to believe
and you know, that it's taken it's share of meeven though you take such good care of me

How much love do you need
Before you give your love to me?
How much time before it grows
How much love
I wanna know.
What can I do
what can I say?
The last thing I want is to drive you away.
How much love does it take
How much love
for heaven's sake?
How much love
how much love
Do I rush right in or do I hesitate
How much love
how much love
how much love.

Am I trying too hard
