The good's gone, the good's gone
The good's gone, the good's gone
The good's gone out of our love, I know it's wrong
We should enjoy it, but the good's gone, the good's gone

Once we used to get along
Now, each time we kiss, it's wrong

The good's gone, the good's gone

It's gone forever
All gone, all gone

If I'm so lost without a friend, tell me, who's this by my side
This girl with eyes like gems and cool reactions to your lies
Lies, la, la, la, la, la, la, lies

You can't repeat what you put round, all the things that made me cry
You kicked me when I was down and they hurt me all those lies
Lies, la, la, la, la, la, la, lies

I've got my girl and together we're strong - strong
To laugh at you and prove you wrong

I don't insist that you feel bad, I just want to see you smile
Don't ever think you made me mad, I didn't listen to your lies
Lies, la, la, la, la, la, la, lies

If I'm so lost without a friend, tell me, who's this by my side
This girl with eyes like gems and cool reactions to your lies
Lies, la, la, la, la, la, la, lies

I don't insist that you feel bad, I just want to see you smile
Don't ever think you made me mad, I didn't listen to your lies
Lies, la, la, la, la, la, la, lies

Much too much to bear

Your love is hard and fast
Your love will always last
If it's you I need I've got to pay the levy
Got to pay cos your love's too heavy on me
And it's much too much to bear

If I ever leave you darlin' I hope you see
That I really love you but your love is too heavy on me
And it's much too much to bear

When I make love to you
Do all the things you want me to do
You never think of me - always cry a bevy
Bevy of tears cos your love's too heavy on me
And it's much too much to bear

There was a time I could give all I had to you
But my enthusiasm waned and I can't bear the pain
Of doing what I don't want to do
Much too much to bear

Your love is hard and fast
Your love will always last
If it's you I need I've got to pay the levy
Got to pay cos your love's too heavy on me
And it's much too much to bear

But I've freed my head from your garden rails

Now it's a legal matter, baby
You got me on the run

A legal matter from now on

My mind's lost in a household fog
Wedding gowns and catalogs

Just wanna keep doing all the dirty little things I do
And not work all day in an office just to bring my money back to you
Sorry, baby

INSTRUMENTAL

Circles, my head is going round in circles
My mind is caught up in a whirlpool dragging me down
Time will tell if I'll take the homeward track
Dizziness will make my feet walk back, walk right back to you

Everything I do, I think of you
No matter how I try, I can't get by
Circles, leading me back to you

Round and around and around and around and around
And around and around and around and around

Round and round and round like a fool I go
Down and down in the pool I go, dragging me down

Everything I do, I think of you
No matter how I try, I can't get by
Circles, leading me back to you

There's one thing could kill the pain of leavin' you
But it gets me so dizzy then I'm walking right back again, back to you

Time will tell if these dreams are nearly fact
Don't know why I left, I'm coming back, coming on home to you

You got me on the run
It's a legal matter, baby
A legal matter from now on

My mind's lost in a household fog
Wedding gowns and catalogs
Kitchen furnishings and houses
Maternity clothes and baby's trousers

It's a legal matter, baby
Marryin's no fun
It's a legal matter, baby
A legal matter from now on

I told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time
I know you thought you had me nailed
Well, I freed my head from your garden rails

Now it's a legal matter, baby
You got me on the run
It's a legal matter, baby
A legal matter from now on

You ain't the first and you ain't the last
I gain and lose my women fast
I never want to make them cry
I just get bored, don't ask me why
Just wanna keep doing all the dirty little things I do
And not work all day in an office just to bring my money back to you
Sorry, baby

People try to put us down - talkin' bout my generation
Just because we get around - talkin' bout my generation
Things they do look awful cold - talkin' bout my generation
I hope I die before I get old - talkin' bout my generation

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don't you all fade away - talkin' bout my generation
And don't try to dig what we all say - talkin' bout my generation
I'm not trying to cause a big sensation - talkin' bout my generation
I'm just talkin' bout my generation - talkin' bout my generation

My generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don't you all fade away - talkin' bout my generation
And don't try to dig what we all say - talkin' bout my generation
I'm not trying to cause a big sensation - talkin' bout my generation
I'm just talkin' bout my generation - talkin' bout my generation

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby
My, my, gen-generation
My, my, my, my generation

People try to put us down - talkin' bout my generation
Just because we get around - talkin' bout my generation
Things they do look awful cold - talkin' bout my generation
Yeah, I hope I die before I get old - talkin' bout my generation

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby
My, my, my, my generation

Talkin' about my generation, my generation
This is my generation, baby
This is my generation, this is my generation
This is my generation, this is my generation
