Funny day
Looking for laughter
And finding it there
Sunny day
Braiding wild flowers
And leaves in my hair
Picked up a pencil
And wrote "I love you"
In my finest hand
Wanted to send it
But I don't know where I stand
Telephone
Even the sound of your voice is still new
All alone in California
I'm talking to you
I'm feeling too foolish and strange
To say the words that I had planned
I guess it's too early
Cause I don't know where I stand
Doo-doo-doo-ooh
Crickets call
Courting the ladies
In starred apple green
Thicket's tall
Until the morning
Comes up like a dream
How muted and misty
Such rouse
And I'll take
What sleep I can I know that I miss you
But I don't know where I stand
I know that I miss you
But I don't know
Where I stand

Hands off the man
Flim flam man
His mind is up his sleeve
And his talk is make believe
Oh Lord, the man's a fraud
He's the flim flam man
He's so cagey
He's a flim flam man
Hands off the man
Flim flam man
He's the One In the Trojan Horse
Making out like he's Santa Claus
Oh Lord, the man's a fraud
He's a flim flam man
He's a fox
He's a flim flam man
Everybody wants him
The people and the police
And all the pretty ladies disarmed
Oh, oh, yeah, the beautiful gent
You know he has hardly a cent
He pays his monthly rent
With the daily charm
Hands off the man
Flim flam man
His mind is up his sleeve
And his talk is make believe
Oh, Lord, the man's a fraud
He's a flim flam man
He's an artist
He's a flim flam man
He's so cagey
He's a flim flam men
He's a fox
She's a fool
Flim flam man.
Oh, don't worry
He's dishonest,
So don't believe in him
He's a flim flam man...

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost
That you can see
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
That kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
The heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take
I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets spurned in a three way script
Ends up number two
The movie queen to play the scene
A bringing all the good things out in me
But for now, love, let's be real
I never thought I could feel this way
And I got to say
That I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back...
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
Stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You know that I'm just trying to understand
The feelings that you lack
I've never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say
That I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back

Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning
Beats a cup of coffee
For starting off the day
Just a little lovin'
When the world is young
And makes you wake up
Feeling good things
Are coming your way
This old world wouldn't be half as bad
And wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had
Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning
A little extra something
To kinda see them through
Nothing turns the day on
Or really gets it dawning
Like a little bit of lovin'
From some lovin' someone like you
This old world couldn't be half as bad
And wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had
Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning
Just a little lovin'
Early in the day
Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning...

Maybe I'll write you a letter
Maybe I'll give you a call
Maybe I'll drop you a line
When I'm feeling better
Maybe I won't after all
Somewhere a river is flowing
Rolling on into the sea
Somewhere a flower is growing
That don't mean anything to me
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go,
Don't give me the answer
'Cause I don't wanna know
Just let my heart go on beating
A little bit longer
I'm so young
I'm so young
Don't pull me up
When you think you see me falling
I've been waiting so long to fall
Don't come to me
When you think you hear me calling
It won't be me in that call
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Don't give me the answer
'Cause I don't want to know
Just let my heart go on beating
A little bit longer
I'm so young
I'm so young
I'm so young
I'm so young

I was born from love
And my poor mother worked the mines
I was raised on the Good Book Jesus
Till I read between the lines
Now I don't believe I want to see the morning
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me,
Mama, cradle me again
I can still remember him
With love light in his eyes
But the light flickered out and parted
As the sun began to rise
Now I don't believe I want to see the morning
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me,
Mama, cradle me again
(Cradle me, mama, cradle me again
Mama, cradle me again...)
Never mind the forecast
'Cause the sky has lost control
'Cause the fury and the broken thunders
Come to match my raging soul
Now I don't believe I want to see the morning
Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me,
Mama, cradle me again
Going down the stoney end...

Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky
But now it must fall to the ground
Now you're sad eyes reveal
Just how badly you feel
'Cause there is no easy way down
The view from the cliffs
Must have been exciting
(Exiting, exciting, exciting)
And up to the peaks you were bound
Now you're stranded all alone
And the path leads unknown
And there is no easy way down
No it isn't very easy
(No easy way down)
When you're left on your own
(No easy way down)
No it isn't very easy
When each road you take Is one more mistake
And there's no one to break your fall
And lead you back home
Oh, oooh...
We all like to climb to the heights, I know
Where our fantasy world can be found
But you must know in the end
When it's time to descend
There is no easy way down
You know, you're gonna find
There is no easy way down
No it isn't very easy
(No easy way down)
When you're left on your own
(No easy way down)
No it isn't very easy
(No easy way down)
When you're left on your own
(No easy way down)
No it isn't very easy
(No easy way down)
When you' re left on your own...

Winter froze the river
And winter birds don't sing
So winter makes you shiver
So time is gonna bring you spring
So he swears he'll never marry
Says that cuddles are a curse
Just tell him plain
You're on the next train
If love don't get there first
Time and love,
Everybody
Time and love
Nothing cures like
Time and love
Don't let the devil fool you
Here comes a dove
Nothing cures like
Time and love
(Nothing cures like
Time and love)
Winter froze the river
And winter birds don't sing
So winter makes you shiver
So time is gonna bring you spring
You've been running
You've been rambling
And you don't know what to do
A holly golden wager says
That love will see you through
Time and love,
Everybody
Time and love
(Oh, time and love)
Nothing cures like
Time and love
Don't let the devil fool you
Here comes a dove
Nothing cures like
Time and love
(Nothing cures like
Time and love)
Jesus wasn't angel
The mankind broke His wing
But Jesus gave His lifeline
So sacred bell could sing
Now a woman is a fighter
Gather white or African
A woman is a woman, inside
Has miracles for men at night
Time and love,
Everybody
Time and love
(Oh, Time and love)
Nothing cures like
Time and love
Don't let the devil fool you
Here comes a dove
Nothing cures like
Time and love
Nothing cures like
Time and love
(Love for the man if you please if you can)
Nothing cures like
Time and love
Love for the man If you can,
If you please...

Maybe
Maybe you wouldn't believe it
If only I change
You say I'm acting just like a kid
Well, maybe I'm doing
What I'm doing
'Cause I'd done what I did
When I was a kid
Maybe, maybe...
Maybe I'm fooling myself
More than anyone can
Maybe I will find another man
But how can I enjoy his touch
Knowing that I love you so much
Baby. . .
Baby, oh, baby
I could learn to love your mother
And your mother's sister
And if she visited all the relatives
I swear I'd miss her
And everyday before you go to work
I'd stop and kiss her
Maybe, maybe, maybe
Things would be better
If only a letter would come
Happiness is easier for some
I promise I will try to please you
Can't you see how much
I need you, baby...
Baby if you wanna hurt me
Laugh at me but don't desert me, baby...
Baby if you don' t believe me
Laugh at me but please don't leave me

Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
I saw your lives from the streets
As I passed by the other day
I was scared
My knees were weak
I forgot what I had came to say
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
Saw a man walk on water
And everybody looking on
I didn't know I was his daughter
Till both of us
Had come and gone
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
If you see me in the alley
Looking like I don't belong
You can put me in your deepest valley
I'll still be singing the same old song
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
I said free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me

I'll be home
I'll be home
When your nights are troubled
And you're all alone
When you're feeling down
And need some sympathy
Nobody's around to keep you company
Remember baby
You can always count on me
I'll be home
I'll be home
I'll be home
Hum...
I'll be home
Wherever you may wander
Wherever you may roam
You'll come back
And I'll be waiting here for you
No one else will ever love you
The way I do
I'll be here to comfort you
And see you through
I'll be home
I'll be home
I'll be home
