Look At You Look At Me

Looking all around me what do I see
Lots of changing faces and lots of things to be
But I'm happy just to be a part of all I see
As I turn round to look at you
And you look back at me
There isn't time to hang around anymore
So fill your heart with loving
And open up the door
Someone's calling out to you
And that's what love is for
As I turn round to look at you
And you look back no more
I'm feelin' up
I'm feelin' down
My head's been twisted all around
But now my feet are on the ground
For everyone to see
There's many ways to reach you
Though you're far away
All the little things we do
The little things we say
I miss you like I miss the sun
I need you every day
As I turn round to look at you
And you look back my way
Looking all around me what do I see
Lots of changing faces and lots of things to be
But I'm happy just to be a part of all I see
As I turn round to look at you
And you look back at me
I'm feelin' up
I'm feelin' down
My head's been twisted all around
But now my feet are on the ground
For everyone to see

I've learned to chew very well
Every minute of my time
The face you see is my diary
Years in every line
No matter what you know
You got a long way to grow
Before you catch me
My legs are getting slower
And my hands are growing weak
And some days I must think awhile
Before I speak
But don't pity me
I'm not what you think you see
Your eyes are green
I can see much better now
I can see so clearly now
If only I knew them as much as I do now
I would have had a good time
Would have had a good time
I've known wise men and I've danced with fools
I was both in my life
Life's been hard, so have I
Had my share of strife
It's not the things you do
It's what you never get round to
That makes you sad
I can see much better now
I can see so clearly now
If only I knew them as much as I do now
I would have had a good time
Would have had a good time
I've known wise men and I've danced with fools
I've been both in my time
Time is going faster nowadays
And days too soon are night
It's not the things you do
It's what you never get round to
That makes you sad

Can't Find My Way Home
03:09
|

|
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
Come down on your own and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
Still I can't find my way home
And I ain't done nothing wrong
But I can't find my way home

I don't know how to love him
What to do, how to move him
I've been changed, yes really changed
In these past few days
When I've seen myself
I seem like someone else
I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man
He's just a man
And I've had so many
Men before
In very many ways
He's just one more
Should I bring him down
Should I scream and shout
Should I speak of love
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position?
I'm the one
Who's always been
So calm so cool
No lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so
I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?
Yet, If he said he loved me
I'd be lost; I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope
Just couldn't cope
I'd turn my head
I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so
I want him so
I love him so...

Sugar Babe

You can do what you want to do
You can be who you want to be
Just remember that me and you
Ain't all there is
To bein' free
People need love
People need trust
People need one another
And that means us
My sugar babe
Believe me sugar babe
Everyone knows it ain't easy
But when you get it all together in your heart
It's the easiest thing to do to be pleasin'
Folks ain't made to live apart
People need love
People need trust
People need one another
And that means us
Sugar babe
Let yourself be open honey learn to bend
Remember everyone gets scared
But I'm still your best friend
When you forget about yourself
And think of things to do
To make me happy then you love me girl
Like I love you
How do turtles talk to one another
They just look, there's no reason to cower
Just like people they're drawn to each other
They don't live in no ivory tower
People need love
People need trust
People need one another
And that means us
My sugar babe
Come on now sugar babe
You know you hear me sugar babe
Come on sweet Rita
You're my sugar babe
Believe me sugar babe
So close, then again so far away
Where are the answers, I hear them everyday
Lovin' you from a distance never did make it anyway
So close, then again so far away
Here come little Miss Bright eyes
Socking it to me everyday
I got to get next to the girl
Or I got to get away

Nothing Rhymed
03:35

If I give up the seat I've been saving
To some elderly lady or man
Am I being a good girl?
Am I your pride and joy?
Mother please, if you please, say I am
And if while in the course of my duty
I perform an unfortunate take
Would you punish me so
Unbelievably so
Never again will I make that mistake
This feeling inside me could never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose
And this pleasure I get
From say winning a bet is to lose
When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy
Eating more than enough apple pies
Will I glance at my screen
And see real human beings
Starve to death right in front of my eyes
Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost
Nothing further than proof, nothing wilder than youth
Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
Nothing I couldn't say
Nothing why 'cause today nothing rhymed
This feeling inside me could never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose
And this pleasure I get
From say winning a bet is to lose
Nothing good, nothing bad, nothing ventured
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost
Nothing further than proof, nothing wilder than youth
Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
Nothing I couldn't say
Nothing why 'cause today nothing rhymed

World in Changes
03:41

Things could be lazy
If they weren’t so crazy
And I wasn’t following you
Running in circles won’t find me no purpose
It’s right here with you and what I do
Changes of season are nearly as pleasing
As watchin' the changes in you
Time for a new day, in search of a new way
But are you sure that it will do
World in changes still going through
I’ve got a lot to learn about you
World in changes still going through
You’ve got a lot to learn about me too
You’ve got a lot to learn about me too
I said well let's see
What you really mean to me
I'll tell the truth ‘cause I can’t pretend
Find yourself a real friend
And then you nearly reached the end
Of all of this runnin’ ‘round we do
World in changes still going through
I’ve got a lot to learn about you
World in changes still going through
You’ve got a lot to learn about me too
You’ve got a lot to learn about me too
World in changes, world in changes

Speak Your Mind
04:34
|

|
Well they say the best of friends must part sometimes
And we may just be the blind leading the blind
Someone give me back my peace of mind
All you have to do
All you have to do
All you have to do is speak your mind
If you need someone to talk to tenderly
Or lend a hand and help you on your feet
Don't you know I live right up the street
All you have to do
All you have to do
All you have to do is speak your mind
I guess we been but lovers but never talk
Winners are certain people who are never lost
Lucky coins are waiting to be tossed
All we have to do
All we have to do
All we have to do is speak our minds
All we have to do
All we have to do
All we have to do is speak our minds
