Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
Baby I'm grieving
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you find a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad
Out there
chorus
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile girl
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Because I never want to see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you find a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad everywhere
repeat chorus
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Because I never want to see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

In the springtime
You can see nature full and free
High up in the trees
You can hear the birds them singing songs of freedom
Out in the open
Everything there is fresh and clean
Unlike the life I'm here living
All creatures great and small
Living together one and all
chorus
I wanna be
The way I wanna be
That is the way I wanna be
Like the birds in the tree yeah
They're going tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet
Singing songs of freedom
Singing songs of freedom
Living in the city
No chains around my feet
But still I am not free
No handcuffs on my hand
But I've got my dignity
repeat chorus
See as a youth living in the city
Can't get no work
Can't get no job
Can't get no money to put in my pocket
I can't get a thing to have of my own
That's why I wanna be free
That's why I wanna be free
Like the bird in the tree

They're going tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet

All creatures great and small
Living together one and all
I wanna be
The way I wanna be
Just like the birds in the trees

chorus
Should I put my trust in you
Should I put my faith in you
Should I let you stick around
Should I let you float around
My desire was for us to live clean and strong
Then we could go on in life to live and grow
But woman you went away
Left me here to stay
Now you're coming back to me
On your bended knees
repeat chorus
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Let you float around, stick around, stay around, oh yeah
It's not so long ago
That we were together
Sharing and caring for each other
The people used to say
Our love would never fade
Now will I be the fool
To let you stay here again yeah
Should I let you stick around
Should I let you float around oh yeah
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Let you float around, stick around, stay around oh yeah
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Let you float around, stick around, stay around oh yeah
You wrote me a letter
You found some one better
You say you can't face me
And you're sorry you hurt me
My heart was torn in two
I didn't know what I should do
Should I let you stick around
Should I let you float around oh yeah
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Let you float around, stick around, stay around oh yeah
It's not so long ago
That we were together
Sharing and caring for each other
The people used to say
Our love would never ever fade
Should I let you stick around

She was a Jezebel this Brixton queen
Living her life like a backstreet dream
Telling me lies when the truth was clear
I think she knew what I wanted to hear
Spinning me round like a wheel on fire
Walking a tightrope on love's high wire
Fatal attraction is where I'm at
There's no escape for me
chorus
I just wanna be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you
And show you the way I feel
I feel love when I'm lying in the midnight hour
Holding you just like a dream
Love is never what it seems
When we touch and you're holding me the way you do
Girl you make my dreams come true
You make my dreams come true
repeat chorus
She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars
She holds me back or she goes too far
Winding me up just to let me down
So emotionally gagged and bound
There was more to this than meets the eye
A devil woman locked inside
With the full moon rising I was scared
I think I was possessed
repeat chorus
I feel love every time your body's next to mine
Something deep inside of me
Wants to love you endlessly
When we tough girl you don't know how it makes me feel
I just can't believe it's real I can't believe it's real
repeat chorus
She had an attitude I can't explain
You never know if you're in the frame
Tying me up with elastic words
I'm on a countdown till I get hurt
Her blood was hot and she burned so bright
A neon sign there in the night
It's hard to say if I went too far
My heart still bears the scars
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you
She was a Jezebel this Brixton queen
Living her life like a backstreet dream
Telling me lies when the truth was clear
I think she knew what I wanted to hear (I just wanna be close to you)
Spinning me round like a wheel on fire
Walking a tightrope on love's high wire
Fatal attraction is where I'm at
There's no escape for me
I wanna be close to you
And do all the thing you wanna me to
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you baby
Show you the way I feel
I just wanna be close to you
And do all the thing you wanna me to
I just wanna be close to you

Waking up to a dry land
With empty glasses in their hands
To the bone I see their call
A fate for one and all
Watch relief fall from the sky
Still resources running dry
chorus
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame
How can we ease the pain

Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame

Electing one with no feelings
Who's gonna pay for their tomorrow
repeat chorus
Hey woh sure like to know, woh
Cause it's been so long

It's gonna follow you
So what we gonna do to ease the pain
How can we ease the pain
Tell me, what are we gonna do, to ease the pain yeah

written by Handel, Tucker
You say you're hurting oh
Cause they say I'm flirting oh no
You just can't take it anymore
Your friends say I'm no good for you
But in my heart I'm so true
A partner for life we can be sure
You've asked me for some time to clear your mind
I stayed away it hurt so much
Without your touch
Now I'm back and you say
chorus
Just a little bit longer baby
For my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say
But in my head a love song plays
For you and me teah ah oh
We played in the rain together
That feeling lives on forever
Memories that bring tears of joy
We've had our share of bad times too
Hurting each other me and you
It's brought us much closer in the end
Just too much we've both fought for
To put it all down the drain
I've stayed away just for a while
But now you're driving me insane
repeat chorus
I said all there is to say now
Hoping that you'll make me stay
Believe me I'm yearning for you girl
Hope there's a place in your heart
That remembers the good from the start
Just put me back where I belong
You asked me for some time to clear your mind
I stayed away it hurt so much
Without your touch now I'm back and you say

Lonely, so lonely, oh so lonely, ah
Alone in the crowd on a bus after work I’m daydreaming
The guy next to me has his woman on his arm, my arms are empty
How does it feel when the woman that you love says yes she loves you
It seems unfair when there’s love everywhere and yet there’s none for you
chorus
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys have a little sunshine in their lives
My life is always a little bit of rain
Someone to take on a walk by the lake, dear Lord let it be
Someone who shouts, someone who is liable to cry at sad movies
I do believe I will die
Just to look in her eyes and find them filled with me oh
But you’re just a dream and as real as it seems, I’m not that lucky
repeat chorus
It’s just a losing game, things have got to change
Some girl will give my love a try
With my love her arms will open wide
repeat chorus

You get the best of me more than I can give
In every part of me just for you I live
We shared our lives together for so many years
Been through stormy weather shared the joys and tears
But oh this change of feeling has got me so confused
Feeling so rejected feeling like I'm used
What more can I say
What more can I do
Seems I'm wasting my time
Trying to show you
chorus
You get the best of me more than I can give
In every part of me,just for you I live 2x
Seems I'm been to hell and back only just to please you
And you're still believing that I don't give a damn
Yes I've made my mistakes with no intend to hurt you
Tried so very hard just to make you understand
What more can I say
What more can I do
Seems I'm wasting my time
Trying to show you

I can hear her heartbeat from a thousand miles
And the heaven's open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her like a river song
chorus
She gimme love love love love crazy love
She gimme love love love love crazy love
She's got a fine sense of humor
When I'm feeling lowdown
Yet when I come to her when the sun goes down
She takes away my troubles, takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache, go right to sleep
repeat chorus 2x
Yes I need her in the daytime
And I need her in the night
And I wanna holding my arms around her
And kiss and hug and kiss and hug her tight
And when I'm returning from so far away
She give me some sweet lovin'
Brighten up my day
Yet it make me righteous, ooh and it makes me whole
Yet it make me mellow down to my soul
repeat chorus
written by M. Elliott, J.P. Maunick, A. Scott, R. Simpson
She loves me and I know she wants me oh oh yeah
She loves me yeah and I know she cares about me
Friends they keep on telling me
How she sits and talks about me
Folks they keep on telling me yeah
How she always talks about me
Oh I've been such a fool
Not to realize the love we had
Gonna take this chance to prove to myself
Love is not a game
You and I should feel the same
chorus
Cause I recognize the woman in you 2x
Let love free me and break these chains that bind me
It's taking me time to see it
The loving that surrounds me
I've been down on my luck before
See oh Lord I can't take no more of this pain
Now I know it's gonna be alright
Cause with you I see the light
It's this way
repeat chorus
In the corners of my mind
I can hear the voice of love
It talks about you
There's a place within my heart
Leaves me longing for the night
To vibe with you

Cause if we don't get it together
It's gonna be too late

Twentieth century going down on it's knees
If we ever get there what would we do
Cause there won't be nothing there for me and you
Let now be the time
Let peace be the vibe

And we'll strive to find a new way
To see it clear where you new existence
