Lobo - Introudcing Lobo/ Of A Simple Man (2005) by Lobo (보컬) on maniadb.com

Once upon my boyhood time
The circus came to town
I remember church going people
Talking the carnies down
Misfits of society
That's what they said to me
So I sneaked up close
And watched them work
And found that actually

They laughed alot
They sang out loud
The way they walked
Made them look kinda proud
A little different from you
A little different from me
A lot like the man who walked
Through Galilee

Mr. and Mrs. Goldstein
Moved in next door to us
The neighbors were indignant
They put up quit a fuss
The neighborhood had gone to pot
And they had worked so hard
So I sneaked out back
Peeked through the fence
And watched them do the yard

They laughed a lot
They sang out loud
They looked just like the rest
Of the crowd
A little different from you
A little different from me
A lot like the man who walked
Through Galilee

Everyone is different
But everyone's the same
Riding around in circles
On life's mysterious train

What if other people
Thought that way of you
Too weak for the circus
Too dumb to be a Jew
A plain old Joe
In wash 'n' wear suit
Wasting his life away
Or do they look in envy
And do or don't they say

They laughed a lot
They sang out loud
They looked just like the rest
Of the crowd
A little different from you
A little different from me
A lot like the man who walked
Through Galilee

Thumbing across Georgia I ran into Gloria
She seemed like a mystic to me
With a wave of her hand
She could make you feel grand
That was her mystery
Now I'll admit she knew a lot of tricks
But so do lots of other chicks
She didn't do it like you can do magic
She didn't do it to me
She didn't do it like you can do it
She didn't do magic to me
Hiking through Virginia I met Melinda
She looked enchanting to see
She said give me your arm
And I'll show you my charms
That was her sorcery
I say it I will she had a lot of skill
But compared to you she was way down hill
Arriving in Cleveland I'm coming to see you
Get you crystal ball out of the drawer
Cause I can tell if you been using you spell
And baby I know what for
The magic you loaned was to bring me home
And baby my love for you has grown
So you better do it like you can do magic
You better do it to me
Cause she didn't do it like you can do it
She didn't do magic to me

Little Joe they're out to get ya
Right or wrong they'll never let you go
And you know it's them or you
And since they swore
You'd never make it back alive
If they don't bring you down by 12
They're gonna bring you down by 5
Well you came straight out of Tucson
Such a man among the mice
She swore she's gonna marry you
Change your life to right
But you ain't about to settle down
For a hundred years or more
But you know she's right behind you
As your sneaking out the door
Little Joe she's out to get ya
Right or wrong she'll never let you go
'Cause she knows it's you for her
And since she swore you'd
Never get away alive
If she don't bring you down by 12
She gonna bring you down by 5
Well you came straight out of Frisco
On a boat for Vietnam
And you try to justify it
Can you kill another man
And you swear you'll never fire a gun
But a bullet kills your friend
And you flip the safety off your gun
And get ready for the end
Well you came straight from Diego
With some medals and some stars
And you fight the war all over
In the honky tonks and bars
And a man who should know better
Tells you fighting is just for fools
And though you know he's right you kill him
Because you got no other rule

The dirty rain is falling
I hear the wind a calling me away
The motel sign is flashing
And in my mind
I'm crashing what to say
Hmm what to say
The words they started flowing
And passions started growing
like years ago
The wine made my mind crazy
But now I'm not so hazy I gotta go
Oh I gotta go
Oh the love we made today
It was just a foolish way
To try to bring back yesterday
There ain't no way
Yea the love we made today
It was just a foolish way
To try to bring back yesterday
There ain't no way

The dirty rain is falling
And in my mind it's calling me away
I'm staring at the ceiling
I can't let that
feeling make me stay
Hmm I just can't stay
Yea the love we made today
It was just a foolish way
To try to bring back yesterday
There ain't no way
Yea the love we made today
It was just a foolish way
To try to bring back yesterday
There ain't no way
Yea the love we made today
It was just a foolish way
To try to bring back yesterday
There ain't no way
There ain't no way

I know I owe you a better time
Then the way that I've been
But something's messing with my mind
And it's not giving in

They say that I should want to be
A man who leads us all
But every time I look I see
Another leader fall.

So I'm gonna sit in a green field
And fly a big red kite I'm gonna
Send my mind up the string and I'm
gonna get it right.

They say that I should want to have
A big bank account
What Uncle Sam don't take from me
Man I don't need to count.

They say that I should want to stand
For what I don't believe
I'm sitting thinking to myself
What kind of man could leave.

I stopped sending
flowers to your apartment
You said you aren't
home much anymore
I stopped dropping
by without an appointment
Cause I'd hear laughter
coming through your door
Sometimes late at night
you'll still call me
Just before you
close your eyes to sleep
You make me vow to try and
stop by sometime
Baby that's a promise I can't keep
I love you too much to
ever start liking you
So lets just let the
story kinda end
I love you too much to
ever start liking you
So don't expect me
to be your friend
I don't walk down
through the village or other places
That we used to go to all the time
I'm trying to erase you
from my memory
Cause thinking of you
jumbles up my mind
I love you too much to
ever start liking you
So lets just let the
story kinda end
I love you too much to
ever start liking you
So don't expect me
to be your friend

You always act so happy
when I see you
You smile that way you
take my hand and then
Introduce me to your latest lover
That's when I feel the
walls start crashing in
I love you too much to
ever start liking you
So lets just let the
story kinda end
I love you too much to
ever start liking you
So don't expect me
to be your friend

Where do butterflies go when it rains?
Who goes around & tucks in the trains?
What makes a teddy bear like to sleep?
Why do we all make promises that we can't keep?

Where do puppy dogs go when their sad?
And what do elephants say when their mad?
Who do you tell if you don't have a friend?
Why do we open our mouths and stick our foot in?

These are the things that bother me,
Not a lot of things across some sea,
I don't even have a master plan,
I guess that I am just a simple man.

Where do robins sleep on the road?
And how can a little ant carry that load?
Why write words that we have to erase?
Why does everyone have more than one face

When I saw you standing there
I about fell off my chair
And when you moved your
mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet
Now it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
Something in my soul just cried
I see the want in your blue eyes
Baby I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Mmm baby you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be
You told yourself years ago
You'd never let your feelings show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave
Baby I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Mmm baby you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be

Now it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
Something in my soul just cried
I see the want in your blue eyes
Baby I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Mmm baby you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be
Oh baby I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Mmm baby you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be
