And I'm just looking
I'm not buying

You drenched my heads
And said what i said
You said that life is what you make of it
But most of us just fade

Theres' thing i want
There's thing i think i want

There's things i wanna have
They say the more you fly
The more you risk your life
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend to help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need some body to lean on
[Chorus]
You just call on me brother
when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem
that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs that you won't let show
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend to help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need some body to lean on
If you need a friend, lean on me
Won't you call me, lean on me
Won't you call me, lean on me
If you need a friend, lean on me
Won't you call me, lean on me
Won't you call, lean on me
If you need a friend, lean on me
Call me...

Her placenta falls to the floor...
The angel opens her eyes...
The confusion sets in...

The angel closes her eyes...
The confusion that was hers...
Belongs now to the baby down the hall... (Bass in)

Repeat to end
My tears are fallin'
'Cause you've taken her away
And though it really hurts me so
There's something that I gotta say:
Take good care of my baby
Please don't ever make her blue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do
Verse 2:
Take good care of my baby
Now don't you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Make a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time,
that little girl was mine
If I'd been true,
I know she'd never be with you, so...
Verse 3:
Take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me

[end with verse chords played twice]
They got married early, never had no money,
Then when he got laid off, they really hit the skids,
He started up his drinking, then they started fighting,
He took it pretty badly, she took both the kids,
She said: "I'm not standing by, to watch you slowly die,
So watch me walking, * out the door,"
Out the door, out the door, out the door.
* - CODA
to her, Shaking in his seat, Riding through the streets,
In a silvertop, to her door,
to her door, to her door,
to her door.
Repeat and fade.
She went to her brother's, got a little bar work,
He went to the buttery, stayed about a year,
Then he wrote a letter, said I want to see you,
She thought he sounded better, she sent him up the fare,
He was riding through the cane, in the pouring rain,
On Olympic, to her door.
He came in on a Sunday, every muscle aching,
Walking in slow motion, like he'd just been hit,
Did they have a future? Would he know his children?
Could he make a picture and get them all to fit?
He was shaking in his seat, riding through the streets,
In a silvertop to her,
Shaking in his seat, riding through the streets,
In a silvertop to her door.

When you're weary. Feeling small.
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all.
I'm on your side ohhhh
when times get rough.
And friends just can't be found.

Like a bridge over trouble water,
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over trouble water,
I will lay me down.

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I travelled each and every highway
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way
[Bridge 1]
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up, and spit it out
I faced it all, and I stood tall
And did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way
[Bridge 2]
For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

Yes, it was my way
I need a little time To think it over
I need a little space Just on my own
I need a little time To find my freedom
I need a little...
Funny how quick the milk turns sour
Isn't it, isn't it
Your face has been looking like that for hours
Hasn't it, hasn't it
Promises, promises turn to dust
Wedding bells just turn to rust
Trust into mistrust
I need a little room To find myself
I need a little space To work it out
I need a little room All alone
I need a little...
You need a little room for your big head
Don't you, don't you
You need a little space for a thousand beds
Won't you, won't you
Lips that promise - fear the worst
Tongue so sharp - the bubble burst
Just into unjust
I've had a little time To find the truth
Now I've had a little room To check what's wrong
I've had a little time And I still love you
I've had a little...
You had a little time And you had a little fun
Didn't you, didn't you While you had yours
Do you think I had none Do you, do you
The freedom that you wanted bad Is yours for good
I hope you're glad
Sad into unsad
I had a little time To think it over
Had a little room To wwork it out
I found a little courage To call it off
I've had a little time [X4]
On a warm summer's evening
on a train bound for nowhere
I met up with a gambler,
we were both too tired to speak
So we took turns a-starin'
out the window at the darkness
'Til boredom overtook us
and he began to speak.
He said, "Son, I've made a life
out of readin' people's faces,
Knowin' what their cards were
by the way they held their eyes,
And if you don't mind me sayin',
I can see you're out of aces,
And for a taste of your whiskey
I'll give you some advice."
So I handed him my bottle
and he drank down my last swallow;
Then he bummed a cigarette
and asked me for a light,
And the night got deathly quiet,
and his face lost all expression,
'said "If you're gonna play the game,
boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
[Chorus]
You got to know when to hold 'em,
Know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away
And know when to run.
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table;
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done.
Every gambler knows that
the secret to survivin'
Is knownin' what to throw away
and knowin' what to keep
'Cause every hand's a winner,
and every hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for
is to die in your sleep."
And when he finished speakin',
he turned back toward the window,
Crushed out his cigarette
and faded off to sleep,
And somewhere in the darkness,
the gambler, he broke even,
But in his final words
I found an ace that I could keep.
[Chorus]
Love, Love, Love.
Love, Love, Love.
Love, Love, Love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say
but you can learn how to play the game.
It's easy.
Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do
but you can learn how to be you in time.
It's easy.
[Chorus]
All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.
[Chorus]
Nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be
that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Yee-hai!
Oh yeah!
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.
Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.
When I was younger,
so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's
help in any way.
But now these days are gone,
I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind
and opened up the doors.
[Chorus]
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.
And now my life has changed
in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to
vanish in the haze.
But every now and then
I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've
never done before.
[Chorus]
When I was younger,
so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's
help in any way.
But now these daya are gone,
I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind
and opened up the doors.
[Chorus]
