Baby do you understand me now
If sometimes you see that I'm mad Doncha know that no one alive can always be an angel? When everything goes wrong you see some badWell I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstoodYa know sometimes baby I'm so carefree with a joy that's hard to hide Then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry And then you burn to see my other sideBut I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstoodIf I seem edgy I want you to know I never meant to take it out on you Life has its problems and I get more than my share but that's me one thing I never mean to doCause I love you Oh baby I'm just human Don't you know I have faults like anyone?Sometimes I find myself alone regretting some little foolish thing some simple thing that I've doneI'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstoodI try so hard So don't let me be misunderstood |

'Tis the last rose of summer
Left blooming all alone All her lovely companions Aare faded and gone No flower of her kindred No rose bud is nigh To reflect back her blushes Or give sigh for sigh So soon may I follow When friendships decay And from love's shining circle The gems drop away When true hearts lie withered And fond ones are flown Oh! who would inhabit This bleak world alone |

Ne me Quitte pas Ne me quitte pas/Il faut oublier Tout peut s'oublier Qui s'enfuit deja Oublier le temps/Des malentendus Et le temps perdu A savoir comment Oublier ces heures Qui tuaient parfois A coups de pourquoi/Le coeur du bonheur Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas/Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Moi je t'offrirai Des perles de pluie/Je creuserai la terre Jusqu'apres ma mort Pour couvrir ton corps D'or et de lumiere Je ferai un domaine Ou l"amour sera roi/ Ou l'amour sera loi Ou tu seras reine Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas/Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Je 'inventerai Des mots insenses/Que tu comprendras Je te parlerai De ces amants-la Qui ont vu deux fois/Leurs coeurs s'embraser Je te raconterai L'histoire de ce roi Mort de n'avoir pas/Pu te rencontrer Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas On a vu souvent Rejaillir le feu/De l'ancien volcan Qu'on croyait trop vieux Il est parait-il Des terres brulees/Donnant plus de ble Qu'un meilleur avril Et quand vient le soir Pour qu'un ciel flamboie Le rouge et le noir Ne s'epousent-ils pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Je ne vais plus pleurer Je ne vais plus parler/Je me cacherai la A te regarder Danser et sourire Et a t'ecouter Chanter et puis rire Laisse-moi devenir/L'ombre de ton ombre L'ombre de ta main L'ombre de ton chien mais Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas |

When they caught me robbing his store Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well reckon that ought to get it been working and working but I still got so terribly far to go I heard the judge say five years On chain-gang you gonna go I heard the judge say five years labor I heard my old man scream "Lordy, no!" Hold it right there while I hit it well reckon that ought to get it been working and working but I still got so terribly far to go Gonna see my sweet honey bee Gonna break this chain off to run Gonna lay down somewhere shady Lord I sure am hot in the sun Hold it right there while I hit it well reckon that ought to get it been workin' and workin' been workin' and slavin' an' workin' and workin' but I still got so terribly far to go |

Southern trees Bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves And blood at the roots Black bodies Swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hangin' From the poplar trees Pastoral scene Of the gallant south Them big bulging eyes And the twisted mouth Scent of magnolia Clean and fresh Then the sudden smell Of burnin' flesh Here is a fruit For the crows to pluck For the rain to gather For the wind to suck For the sun to rot For the leaves to drop Here is Strange and bitter cropSouthern trees bear strange fruit, Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze, Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.Pastoral scene of the gallant south, The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth, Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh, Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.Here is fruit for the crows to pluck, For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop, Here is a strange and bitter cry. |

Well once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, I didn't care Takin' my friends out for a mighty good time Buyin' boot leg liquor, champagne and wine Then I began to fall so low Couldn't find me no friends Had no place to go If I ever get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hold on to it, till the eagle grinsI said nobody knows you When you're down and out In your pocket, you ain't got one penny And your friends, you didn't have any Just as soon as you get up on your feet again Here they all come, they say that they're your long-lost friend Oh lord without a doubt Nobody wants you Nobody needs you Nobody wants you When you're down and outI sayNobody wants you Nobody needs you Nobody wants you when you're down and out |
