Blood, Sweat & Tears - The Best Of Blood, Sweat & Tears: What Goes Up! [compilation] (1995) by Blood, Sweat & Tears (보컬) on maniadb.com

I can't quit her
She's got a hold on me
She got her hand on my soul
I can't quit her
'Cause I see her face everywhere I go
In the city streets, in the country fields
In the back of my mind
I know it can't be real
For a woman to possess
All the tenderness she had
But the hands of time
Keep tickin' on my back
'Cause it's been so long
Since I had her back beside me
Yeah, I know
I can't quit her
'Cause on my darkest night
She comes on like a light
I can't quite her
Try as I may, with all my might
She had a woman's touch
And a young girls eyes
And in seconds flat I was proselytized
Turned around
And made to feel sweet love
But the hands of time
Keep tickin' on my back
'Cause it's been so long
Since I had her back beside me
True love is somethin'
Ev'ry young boy knows about
And he fights his whole soul all the best to find some
I was a young boy
'Til I held her in my arms
Now I find that I'm strung out behind some
I can't quit her
She got her hand on me
She got a hold on my soul
'Cause I your face everywhere I go
I can't quit her, woo ooo yeah
I know
You know I see your face
Everywhere I go!
I need her...I need the little girl

If I ever leave you can say i told you so
And if I ever hurt you baby
You know I hurt myself as well
Is that any way for a man to carry on?
You think he wants his little loved one gone?
I love you baby more than you'll ever know

When I wasn't making too much money
you knew where my paycheck went
You know I brought it home to baby

I know that I could be a part of you
that no one else could see

I'm only flesh and blood
but I could be everything that you demand
I could be president of General Motors baby
or just a tiny little grain of sand
Is that any way for a man to carry on?
You think he wants his little loved one gone?
I love you baby I love you baby
I love you more than you will ever know

If I ever leave you you can say I told you so

You've Made Me So Very Happy
Blood Sweat and Tears

I lost at love before
Got mad and closed the door
But you said "Try, just once more"
I chose you for the one
Now we're having so much fun
You treated me so kind
I'm about to lose my mind
You made me so very happy

The others were untrue
But when it came to loving you
I'd spend my whole life with you
Cause you came and you took control
You touched my very soul
You always showed me that
Loving you was where it's at
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life yeah

And When I Die
Blood Sweat And Tears
Blood, Sweat & Tears Greatest Hits


I'm not scared of dying,
And I don't really care.
If it's peace you find in dying,
Well then let the time be near.
If it's peace you find in dying,
And if dying time is here,
Just bundle up my coffin
'Cause it's cold way down there.
I hear that its cold way down their.
Yeah, crazy cold way down their.

Chorus:

And when I die, and when I'm gone,
There'll be one child born
In this world to carry on,
to carry on.

Now troubles are many, they're as deep as a well.
I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.
Swear there ain't no heaven and I pray there ain't no hell,
But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell.
Yes only my dying will tell.
Yeah, only my dying will tell.

Chorus

Give me my freedom for as long as I be.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me,
And all I ask of dying is to go naturally.
Oh I want to go naturally.

Here I go,
Hey Hey!
Here comes the devil,
Right Behind.
Look out children,
Here he comes!
Here he comes! Hey...

Don't want to go by the devil.
Don't want to go by demon.
Don't want to go by Satan,
Don't want to die uneasy.
Just let me go naturally.

and when I die,
When I'm dead, dead and gone,
There'll be one child born in our world to carry on,
To carry on.
Yeah, yeah...

Sometimes In winter I gaze into the streets
and walk through snow and city sleet
behind your room.

Sometimes in winter forgotten memories
remember you behind the trees
with leaves that cry.

By the window once i waited for you,
laughing slightly you would run,
trees alone would chill us in the meadow,
making love in the evening sun.

Now your gone girl,
and the lamp posts call your name,
i can hear them in the spring of frozen rain.

Now your gone girl,
and the times slow down til dawn
its a cold room
and the walls ask where you've gone

Sometimes in winter I love you when the good times seem like memories
in the spring that never came.

Sometimes in winter, i wish the empty streets would fill with laughter
from your tears to ease my pain.

What goes up must come down [cowbell enters]
Spinnin' wheel got to go 'round [full drum kit enters]
Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin

You got no money and you got no home
Spinnin' wheel all alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn

Did you find the directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real

Someone is waiting just for you
Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
[1: Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride]
[2: Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel fly]

Them that's got, shall get
Them that's not, shall lose
So the Bible said, and it still is news
Mama may have, and papa may have

God bless' the child,
That's got his own
That's got his own
Yes the strong seem to get more

While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade
As mama may have

And papa may have
God bless' the child
That's got his own
That's got his own.

And when you got money,
You got a lots of friends
Crowdin' 'round your door
When the money's gone

And all you're spendin' ends
They won't be 'round any more
No, no, no more
And rich relations

May give you
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much

Mama may have
And your papa may have
But God bless' the child
That's got his own

That's got his own
God bless' the child who can stand up and say
I've got my own
Ev'ry child's, got to have his own!

Hi-de-ho Hi-de-hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some o' that old sweet roll,
I'm singin' Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
I been down so low__bottom looked like up
Once I thought that second saves was enough to fill my cup
Now I profered all I had
But it ain't no way to live
Bein' taken by the ones who got the least amount to give
Hi-de-ho Hi-de-hi
I'm gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll,
I'm singin' Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
Hi-de-ho Hi-de-hi
I'm gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll,
I'm singin' Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho

Lucretia Mac Evil, little girl, what's your game?
Hard luck and trouble, bound to be your claim to fame
Tail shakin, home breakin truckin through town
Each and every country mother's son hangin round
Drive a young man insane Evil, that's your name

Lucretia Mac Evil, that's the thing you're doin fine
Back seat Delilah, that's your sixth big jug of wine
I hear your mother was the talk of the sticks
Nothin that your daddy wouldn't do for kicks
Never done a thing worthwhile, evil woman child

Devil got you, Lucy under lock and key
Ain't about to set you free
Signed, sealed and witnessed on the day you were born
No use trying to fake him out, no use trying to make him out
Soon he'll be taking out his doom
What you gonna do Lucretia Mac Evil

Honey, where you been all night?
You hair's all messed up baby
N the clothes your wearin just don't fit you right
Big Daddy Joe's paying your monthly rent
Tells his wife he can't imagine where the money's went
Dressing you up in style, evil woman child
Oh Lucy you're just so damn bad

He's a runner and he'll run away. Soon there'll be no man.
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay, woman get away while you can. He's a runner.
He's a runner and he'll run away with the midnight train.
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay,
come the judgement day, come the rain, he's a runner.
There'll come the running, he knows he's got to.
Don't ask him not to or why, oh why, oh why did you leave me and run off with tomorrow?
Now I'm in chains till I die.
He's a runner and he'll run away. Soon there'll be no man.
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay, woman get away while you can.
He's a runner. He's a runner and he's got to run, he's got to run away. He's a runner.

If I had to take the choice between the deafman and the blind
I know just where my feet should go and that?s enough for me
I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea
Hadn?t traveled very far when suddenly I saw
Three small ships a-sailing out towards a distant shore
So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit
And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot
Filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose
I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes
I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change it?s mind
And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine
Laying down my treasure before the iron gate
Quickly rang the bell hoping I hadn?t come too late
But someone came along and told me not to waste my time
And when I asked him who he was he said, ?just look behind?br />
So I turned around and forty thousand headmen bit the dirt
Firing twenty shotguns each and man, it really hurt
But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload
And by the time they?d done that I was heading down the road

Born a natural loser -- can't recall just where
Raised on brew and poker and a dollar here and there
Blackjack hand, dealer man, you better pay off that last bet
Two-bit hand, a 21 is all I ever get

Go down gamblin', say it when you're runnin' low
Go down gamblin' -- you may never have to go

Down in a crap game, I've been losin' at roulette
Cards are bound to break me, but I ain't busted yet
'Cause I've been called a natural lover by that lady over there
Honey, I'm just a natural gambler but I try to do my share

Once a girl I knew, all alone and unprepared.
Everyone she knew, runnin' scared.
Then she found him or maybe he found her.
His were gentle words she had never heard before.

He said, "Lisa, listen to me,
Don't you know where you belong?
Darling, Lisa, you can tell me...
You've been silent for too long."

Once another man took her on a younger day,
All a young girl can do is pray.
Then she found him or maybe he found her.
His were gentle words she had never heard before.
She had never heard before.

He said, "Lisa, listen to me,
Don't you know where you belong?
Darling, Lisa, you can tell me...
You've been silent for too long."

He said, "Lisa, listen to me,
Don't you know where you belong?
Darling, Lisa, you can tell me...
You've been silent for too long."

Then she found him or maybe he found her.
His were gentle words she had never heard before.
She had never heard before.

High on a snow covered mountain
From her throne she looks down at the clowns
Who think youth can be found in a fountain
High on the wings of her rhythm
She will smile at the guys who come on with their eyes
But she'll never dance with them.
And in smoke filled rooms of electric sound
A legend is built around the snow queen
You may believe you're a winner
But with her you will soon bite the dust
And discover you're just a beginner
You may not think you're a loser, but in midair
You'll be hung while you trip on your tongue
And it'll only amuse her
In the morning haze you are frozen there
Caught in the icy stare of the snow queen
No my friend, she doesn't want what you're selling
Go my friend, there must be a place you can hide
And into the night you'll fade, knowing
You lost the game and just how she got
Her name the snow queen
