Dancing Bear
|
|
I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep All black from head to foot From climbing in them chimneys And cleaning out that soot. With a broom and ladder and pail, The darkened walls I scale - And far.. and high... I see a patch of sky. I'd rather be the gypsy (I'd rather be the gypsy) Whose camped at the edge of town - (Camped at the edge of town) The one who has the dancing bear That follows him around. And he lifts his big foot up; He puts his big foot down And bows... and twirls... And dances 'round and 'round. I found I was a cabin boy last night as I did dream - Bound upon a magic ship for a land I'd never seen. And the moon she filled our sails; And the stars they steered our course; And on our bow there was a golden horse. The queen eats fruit and candy; the bishop nuts and cheese And when I am a grown man, I'll taste just what I please - The honey from the bee, the shellfish from the sea, The earth, the wind, a girl, someone to share these things with me. I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep... (I'd rather be the gypsy, etc...) (I dreamed I was a cabin boy, etc...) |

Words of Love
|
|
Words of love, so soft and tender, Won't win a girl's heart anymore. If you love her,then you must send her Somewhere where she's never been before. Worn out phrases and longing gazes Won't get you where you want to go. (No!) Words of love, soft and tender, Won't win her... You oughta know by now (you oughta know by now). You oughta know (you oughta know); You oughta know by now - (you oughta know by now) Words of love, soft and tender, Won't win her anymore. You oughta know by now (you oughta know by now). You oughta know (you oughta know); You oughta know by now - (you oughta know by now) Words of love, soft and tender, Won't win a girls heart anymore. If you love her, then you must send her Somewhere where she's never been before. Worn out phrases and longing gazes Won't get you where you want to go. Words of love, soft and tender, Won't win her anymore, anymore. |

I Saw Her Again

I saw her again last night, And you know that I shouldn't Just string her along; it's just not right If I couldn't I wouldn't. But what can I do; I'm lonely too. And it makes me feel so good to know She'll never leave me. I'm in way over my head; Now she thinks that I love her (yeah, yeah) Because that's what I said Though I never think of her. (No, no, never think of her) But what can I do? I'm lonely too. And it makes me feel so good to know (And it makes me feel so good to know...) She'll never leave me. Every time I see that girl, You know I wanna lay down and die. But I really need that girl Though I'm living a lie; (Though I'm living a lie...) It makes me wanna cry I saw her again last night, And you know that I shouldn't Just string her along; it's just not right. If I couldn't then I wouldn't, But what can I do, I'm lonely too. And it makes me feel so good to know She'll never leave me. (to know... know) But what can I do? I'm lonely too. Yeah, and it makes me feel so good to know She'll never leave me. Every time I see that girl, You know I wanna lay down and die. But I really need that girl Though I'm living a lie (Though I'm living a lie...) It makes me wanna cry. I saw her... I saw her again last night. And you know that I shouldn't (no, no) Just string her along; it's just not right. If I couldn't, I wouldn't; I'm in way over my head (you say...) Now she thinks that I love her (yeah, yeah) Because that's what I said... |
