Crazy Once You Know How
Oh well it's much too early, not right now,
How can I love you when I, I don't know how,
I don't know how, I don't know how ?

How can I trust my eyes, do they really see
What is the truth ? It's hard for me,
Hard for me, hard for me.

It's hard to understand what's really there,
When all my hopes they just cloud the air,
Cloud the air, cloud the air.

Love is all around me, till we understand
It's easy to see baby, but talk to me.
And love is all around us if we could be free
Love is all around us if we just, if we just try to see.

Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ah.

You say you need me, baby, as you breathe the words,
That's time for you to leave, Oh no!
Time to leave, time to leave.

Oh please, don't push me, baby, I might learn how to play your game,
Now it's your turn,
It's your turn, it's your turn.

I'd love to love you now till I'll be sure
That this time your love won't hurt me more,
Hurt me more, hurt me more, oh, come on!

I think I'll go now, yeah you're always gonna break me my heart,
And I see I gotta go now, honey I just wanna say

Oh you're breaking my heart right now baby,
Oh you're breaking my heart now now now,
Now I don't wanna hurt you, no no no no,
And I don't wanna hold you, yeah!
I need a twenty-four hour man,
So when you love me all night long
I need a twenty-four hour man,
Honey, where are you ?

But doesn't really matter when I need you so
It doesn't really matter, tell me yes or no.
It doesn't really matter, babe I got to know
It doesn't really matter, this is love,
I just love to love you, ah ooh!

Dear Landlord
Dear Landlord
Please don't put a price on my soul.
My burden is heavy, dear,
And my dreams are beyond my control,
Oh yes, they are.

But when that steam-boat whistle blows,
Oh, honey I'm gonna give you everything I ever had to give, yeah,
And I do hope that you can receive it well,
I know that it must be dependin' on the way you feel that you live.

Whoa, Landlord,
Please heed these words that I try to speak.
I know you must have suffered much,
But honey you ain't alone, you ain't so unique.
No, no, no, no, no.

All of us at times, I said, we might have worked too hard
Or too heavy, too fast and way too rushed, yeah!
But everyone can fill their life with anything
You can look around, but baby you just cannot touch.

Whoa, my Dear Landlord,
Please don't you dismiss my case.
I'm not about to argue with you,
And honey I'll tell ya, I'm ain't gonna move to no other place.
'Cause I just ain't gonna do it, no, no, no.

Each of us has his own special gift,
Oh honey, don't you know that it's got to be true
And if you don't underestimate me, I'll tell you one thing,
I said that I won't underestimate you, no!

It ain't me babe, it ain't me babe!
It appears to me that I found a man, that could take care of my time
Well, I got my own trouble, I got my own car, I got my own little lady, I got my hotel
Oh what are you talking about!
Don't try to take it!
Somebody talks as fine as he does, oughta be able to take care of

Farewell Song
Whoa, the last time that I saw ya
Child, I know, no, you didn't say a word.
And I knew, darlin' as I looked into your eyes
That my feelings, oh, they'd never been heard.

Well, I'm talkin' to you about love,
Did you hear me, I said love,
Because it's got to be such a long, long, way
From denyin', from denyin'.

And I say, don't say no, no, no to me no more.
And I believed in you all the time,
Honey, until I found out, you know, that I was so wrong.
Won't you try and build a life with you,
Guess I should've known it, I guess I should've known it all along.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, let me hold you just once more
Babe, I ask you just once more
Because it's got to be such a long, long way from cryin'
And I been cryin' and I got tears in my eyes.

Yeah, but don't you know when you love somebody that's so precious
They can never, never, never be had very cheaply
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You're gonna have to pay your dues
And sometimes, sometimes I guess you're bound to lose.
Hey, but that's the way
You're gonna learn, learn, learn to love deeply.

Now oh God, I wish I could explain that myself,
'Cause I know that it's my fault, too.
It's so easy to hurt you, darling,
It's so hard, it's hard not to do.

And I know that you showed me a new life
And you'll always, you'll always be my friend.
Yeah, but I don't think, honey, that I can keep from tryin'
And I'll be tryin' and I been cryin' for you, baby,
Yes, I have now.

Well, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
What would I do without you, child ?
I'm afraid that I can't say.
But I hope, honey, that when you will remember
Lord, it'll be, it'll be such a sunny day.

Now, now, now, now, good-bye,
I'll see you sometime
And don't be worried, everything's just fine.
Babe, I don't think
That I can keep from dyin'
And I've been dyin'.

I say now every day I die a little bit, babe
I say now every day I lose me someone in my heart
I've been lonely, lonely, look around baby
I said now I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I gotta find him, gotta, I gotta need him
'Cause I gotta find my man, find my baby
'Cause I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, yeah, gotta
Gotta, gotta, gotta, oh my Lord I gotta
Help me now now now now
Help me, babe, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Whoaa ... Lord, Lord Lord Lord!!

Flower in the Sun
Oh please don't you think baby that I am wrong to cry, yeah.
You loved me, too,
So how come you just sit there and laugh
And laugh and laugh and laugh ?
Things just can't be this way
And not for very long
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
Our love affair said it's just history, yes it is.

And I tried to love you in my own way,
I think that you know I did.
But to have you here, to see you living,
Oh so near to me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh but you are distant and so it's dead
And so often people are glad to be old, yeah yeah,
Our love affair is just history, yes it is.

Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun.
The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one.

Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun.
The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one.

And I see you looking up at the sky, how high it is, yeah.
You wonder if there is, whoa another me
Now how can that be, how can it be ?
Well, I sit here and I ask you, why all this ?
I just got toni-ni-ni-night
Our love affair said it's just a history
But baby, baby, I said it's over, Charlie,
I can't stand another lo-lo-lonely,
I'm never too lonely.

It's over baby,
Where were you when I wanted ya
And needed ya right by my side ?
I said-a, baby, baby, don't you feel me moving,
Baby, don't you hear me cry ?

Come back, and believe the magic of love.

I want the sky without the sun, yeah!

When they see me alone without my loved one, yeah!

Now if you believe in magic,
Don't be afraid, afraid to use it, baby,
No, no, no, no, no, no, come on home
Dressed in the mystic silk
Or wearing rich rags and waste
Darling, please!

Come on back to me
I know we can be
Part of a magic race.

Come back, and believe my love
Come back, please believe my love
Come back and believe the magic of love.

Hey! Now come back, babe, and believe my love
Come back, please believe my love
Come back and believe the magic of love.

Will all be gone.

They're so empty, empty, empty, empty, empty.
Filled up with sadness, sometimes, yeah.

No Reason For Livin'
I ain't got no reason to livin', I can't find no cause to die
Lord, I ain't got no reason for livin', you give me no cause to die
Lord, I ain't got no reasons for stay here, give me no cause to try
I got these blues, I gotta find me that middle road

Well, I ain't got mother to love me, ain't got no father to care
Lord, I ain't got mother to love me, ain't got no father to care
Lord, I ain't got no reasons to go on, give me no cause to stay here
I got these blues, I gotta finally know why

Well, I ain't got no reason for walkin', I guess I'm gonna fall or standstill
Lord, I ain't got no reason for walkin', guess I'm gonna fall or standstill
Lord I ain't got no reason for goin', give me no cause to stay here
I got these blues, Lord I gotta finally know why

Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out
Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire, spending my money, no, I didn't care
Takin' my friend John out for a mighty good time
Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low, didn't have a friend, nor no place to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins

Soon as I get back up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's might strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
That's what I mean, when you're down and out

Oh My Soul


Oh, my soul!
Oh, my soul!

Baby baby baby, give me all the love you've got
Don't you know you've got the best love in the house
I said love, I said love, oh, my soul!

Baby baby baby love your daddy all night long
Baby, baby, love you all night long
Love you, I'm gonna kiss you, oh, my soul!

Now baby baby, well you drive me crazy
Oh, baby baby, well you drive me crazy
I said love, I said love, oh, my soul!

Baby baby, you drive me crazy
Baby baby, ah you drive me crazy
I said love,I said love...

Baby baby, drive me crazy, love you all night long
Oh, baby, love you, love you all night long
I said baby, I said baby, oh, my soul!

And I'm feelin' low an' everybody looks the same.
Well, you catch my eye, and then you come on strong an' try to make your play.
Just because we loved tonight, please don't you think it's gonna stay that way.

St. James Infirmary
I went down to old Joe's bar room, on the corner by the square
Well, the drinks were bein' served as usual, and this motley crowd was there

Well, on my left stood Joe McKennedy, and his eyes were bloodshot red
When he told me that sad story, these were the words he said:

I went down to the St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table, so cold, and fine, and fair
Go ahead!

Let her go, let her go, God bless her, wherever she may be
She can search this world over, never find another man like me

Yes, sixteen coal black horses, to pull that rubber tied hack
Well, it's seventeen miles to the graveyard, but my baby's never comin' back

Well, now you've heard my story, well, have another round of booze
And if anyone should ever, ever ask you, I've got the St. James infirmary blues!

Tell Mama
Alright!!!
Alright!!!
I'm ready, man!
Whoaa yeah!!!

You thought you had found yourself a good girl,
One who would love you and give you the world.
Then you find, babe, that you've been misused,
Come to me, honey, I'll do what you choose.

I want you to
Well, tell mama

You know like about seventeen years old, just about
If you happen to be a young cat and you ain't figured it out yet,

You got those strange little weirdenesses happening to you, you don't know what they are

Honey, sweet talkin' mama, babe.
