Aaron Neville

If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby, my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy
If you are serious
Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious
But if want me to love you
Then, baby, I will, girl, you know I will
Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let
your conscience be your guide
But I-I-I-I-I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride
Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby, go on and live
Tell it like it is
I'm nothin' to play with,
go and find yourself a toy
But I-I-I-I-I Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive
And I'm not your little boy
Mm mm, tell it like it is

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten

And children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas


With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white.

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oh-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since

It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will

It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know
What's up there beyond the sky

It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will

When I go to my brother, my brother, my brother
And I say, ?Brother, help me please?
But he winds up knockin' me
Right down on my, on the knees

And there been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think
I'm able to carry on

It's been a long
A long, long time coming
Well, I know, I know change gonna come
Oh, yes it will

It's been a long
It's been a long, long time coming
Well, I know, I know, I know change gonna come
Oh, yes it will

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long anytime she goes away

And I know

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long anytime she goes away

I wonder this time where she's gone?
I wonder if she's gone to stay?
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away

And I know

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And everybody knows this house just ain't no home

Honey you do me wrong but still I'm crazy about you
Stay away too long and I can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
I know flowers go through rain
But how can love go through pain

Ain't that peculiar
A peculiar-arity
Ain't that peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be

You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
I've been so much in love with you baby til I don't want to see
That things you do and say are designed to make me blue
It's a doggone shame my love for you makes all
Your lies seem true
But if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger

Ain't that peculiar
Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar baby
A peculiar-arity

I cried so much just like a child that's lost its home
Maybe baby you think these tears I cry are tears of joy
A child can cry so much until you do everything they say
But unlike a child my tears don't help me to get my way
I know love can last through years
But how can love last through tears

Now ain't that peculiar baby
A peculiar-arity
Ain't it peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be

Said I don't understand it baby
It's so strange sometimes

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

I've got so much honey the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh.

I don't need no money, fortune, or fame.
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl.

I've even got the month of May
With my girl

<lyrics>When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
So darling, darling
Stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand
Stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble in the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
So darling, darling
Stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand
Stand by me
Stand by me

<lyrics>Darling you send me
I know you send me
Darling you send me
Honest you do, honest you do
Honest you do, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You thrill me
I know you, you, you thrill me
Darling you, you, you, you thrill me
Honest you do

At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You, you, you, you send me
I know you send me
I know you send me
Honest you do

Whoa-oh-oh, whenever I'm with you
I know, I know, I know when I'm near you
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do, honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, I know-oh-oh-oh

I know, I know, I know, when you hold me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whenever you kiss me
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do

At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home

I know, I know, I know, you send me
I know you send me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, you you you you send me
Honest you do

Ave Maria
Amen

Messiah, help us to know You
Not only on Sunday
But through and through

On Your birthday we celebrate
When You came to us
But sometimes we forget
What You gave up for love

God gave up His begotten son
Because He loves us all
So sisters and brothers
Just love one another

And then everyday
(Everyday)
Everyday
(Everyday)
Feel like Christmas in your heart

And then everyday
(Everyday)
Everyday
(Everyday)
Keep the Christmas spirit in your heart

Messiah, show us how to cleanse our sins
[Incomprehensible]
All our hatred and the wars we've raised
Why can't we just trust
Sometimes we still ignore the life together lasts

Mary had the holy child
To save all mankind
So sisters and brothers
Just love one another

And then everyday
(Everyday)
Everyday
(Everyday)
Feel like Christmas in your heart

And then everyday
(Everyday)
Everyday
(Everyday)
Keep the Christmas spirit it in your heart

Mary had the holy child
To save all mankind
So sisters and brothers
Just love one another

And then everyday
(Everyday)
Everyday
(Everyday)
Feel like Christmas in your heart

And then everyday
(Everyday)
Everyday
(Everyday)
Keep the Christmas spirit in your heart
In your heart, in your heat, in your heart

This is my wish for everybody in the world
To have peace and happiness
And all the love that they deserve

To every mother, every father
Every baby child [Incomprehensible]
This is my Christmas prayer

To all those who are hungry
May they never miss a meal
All the broken hearted may they find a way to heal

And all the homeless and the needy
That they might have a coat to wear
This is my Christmas prayer

From my little house upon Valance Street
I'm sending out these hopes to high above
That this whole earth just might someday be
A little better place for the human race

From Lafayette to London
From Buenos Aires to Beijing
Let's be kind to one another
And let that yuletide spirit ring

Spread the message and the meaning
Of the season everywhere
This is my Christmas prayer

From my little house upon Valance Street
I'm sending out these hopes to high above
That this whole earth just might someday be
A little better place for the human race

This is my wish, it may be a lot to ask
But I'm hoping that a miracle
Will finally come to pass

And that all that I am saying
Are just whispers in the air
This is my Christmas, this is my Christmas
This is my Christmas prayer

Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled

Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"

Hail the heaven, Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with His healing wings

Mild, He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth

Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"

Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"

I was born by the river

And just like the river

It's been too hard living

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!


I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.

One of these mornings
I'm going away
Any day now
I'm going to Heaven to stay

I don't know how soon
Maybe morning, night or noon
But I'm going to see the Father
And by His side to stand

There'll be no sorrow, no sadness
Just only complete gladness
But any day now, I know that I
Know that I am going home

Then I'll shout Hallelujah
And give praises to His name
Pray any day now, I know that I
Know that I am going home

When you're weary,
feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all;
I'm on your side.
Oh When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,.
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
Oh When darkness comes


And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
Oh If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

<lyrics>Going home, going home
I'm just going home
Quiet light, some still day
I'm just going home

It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Going to fear no more

Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting, too
Lots of folk gathered there
All the friends I knew
All the friends I knew

I'm going home
Nothing's lost, all's gain
No more fret nor pain
No more stumbling on the way
No more longing for the day

Going to roam no more
Morning star lights the way
Restless dream all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life begun

There's no break, there's no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile
Going on and on
Going home, going home

I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
I am going home
I'm just going home
Going home, going home
Going home, going home

You may be an ambassador to England or France
You might like to gamble, you might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world
You might be a socialite with a long string of pearls

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

You might be a rock 'n' roll man, prancing on the stage
Plenty of drugs at your command and women in a cage
You might be a businessman or some high degree thief
They may call you 'Doctor', they may call you 'Chief'

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, yeah, yeah, serve somebody
Oh, it may be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

Now, you may be a State Trooper, you might be a young Turk
You may even be the head of some great big TV network
You may be rich or poor and you may be blind or chained
You might be living in another country under another name

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're still gonna have to serve somebody

Maybe a construction worker working on a home
Might be living in a mansion, you might live in a dome
You may own guns, you may even own tanks
You may be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh yeah, serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, it might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

Now you can call me Terry or you might call me Moore
You may call me David or you might call me Coe
You can call me RJ or you can call me Ray
You can call me anything, I don't care what you say

You're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

You may be a rock 'n' roll star, prancing on the stage
You got plenty of drugs at your command, you got women in a cage
You might be a big businessman or some high degree thief
Now they might call you 'Doctor', they might call you 'Chief'

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

It might be the devil, it might be, it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh man, you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody

It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Somebody, somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord

I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray
Someone will come to show the way, I believe, I believe

I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
(Why I believe)

I?ve wandered so aimless, life filled with sin
I wouldn?t let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I?m so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

I?ve walked in darkness and clouds covered me
I had no idea where the way out could be
Then came the sunrise and rolled back the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

And I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I?m so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

Just like a blind man I wandered alone
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like a blind man who God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I?m so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I?m so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

When death takes me down and I breathe here no more
My anthem will sound on that eternal shore
When I join with angels in heaven on high
Singing&nbsp;?Praise the Lord, yes, I saw the light?

Can you feel him shine on me
Can you feel him shine on me now?
Can you feel him shine on me?
Can you feel him shine, shine, shine?

They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here

I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say every man needs protection
They say every man, oh, must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Someplace so high above this wall

I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Now, yonder stands a man, oh, in this lonely crowd
He's a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long, I hear him shout so loud
Crying out that he was framed

I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released


Oh, any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Hey, are you coming? Are you going?
Brother, are you just wasting time
Is there a rhyme or a reason
And when you're gonna make up your mind

Are you holding back your tears?
Will you ever let the river flow?
Or are you caught up in your fears?
Let the living water save your soul

Let go, let the mercy river flow
Let go, get on your knees and let Him know
Let go, He'll build you up and make you strong
All the saints will march in glory
Hear the angels sing along
And let go, just let go

I am with you on this journey
I'll be with you till the end of time
You know you'll never ever be abandoned
So precious, this child of mine

Jesus in my arms I will hold you
This world at times it seems so unkind
Walk with faith into His glory
Let go and let your spirit fly

Let go, let the mercy river flow
Let go, get on your knees and let Him know
Let go, He'll build you up and make you strong
All the saints will march in glory
Hear the angels sing along and let go

Don't you wanna be with your brothers
Marching with that angel band
And let go, just let go

Let go, let the mercy river flow
Let go, get on your knees and let Him know
Let go, He'll build you up and make you strong
All the saints will march in glory
Hear the angels sing along

Let go, let go, let it go
Let go, let it go
And let it go, let it go
Just let go, let it go
Let go

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when all the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be

For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they may see
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
(Let it be, let it be)

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on 'til tomorrow, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
(Just let it be)

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
(Let it be, let it be, oh, let it be)
There will be an answer, let it be

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's re-creation of the new day

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the word

Keeps a man bound and tied

Oh, shine you goodness down on [Incomprehensible] me

In my darkest hour
Soon be, it's Your turn to love

Steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Be my all in all

Mother, Johnny used to tell me
Said, "Son, don't waste your youth
As blinding of fear and hatred
And you never ever see the truth"

Oh Lord, I keep prayin' [Incomprehensible] wisdom
And the strength to carry on
Oh Lord, be my helper
Let Thine will in my life be done

Steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Be my all in all

Come on and steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Be my all in all

Come on, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Be my all in all

Steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Be my all in all

Steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never, never, never be discouraged, oh no
Take, take it to the Lord, to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful
Who with all our sorrows share?
Jesus know our every weakness
Take, take it to the Lord, to the Lord in prayer

Are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior still our refuge
Take, take it to the Lord in prayer

Do your friends despise or forsake you?
Take it to the Lord, take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He'll take you and shield you
You will find, you will find solace there

You may be an ambassador to England or France
You might like to gamble, you might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world
You might be a socialite with a long string of pearls

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

You might be a rock 'n' roll man, prancing on the stage
Plenty of drugs at your command and women in a cage
You might be a businessman or some high degree thief
They may call you 'Doctor', they may call you 'Chief'

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, yeah, yeah, serve somebody
Oh, it may be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

Now, you may be a State Trooper, you might be a young Turk
You may even be the head of some great big TV network
You may be rich or poor and you may be blind or chained
You might be living in another country under another name

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're still gonna have to serve somebody

Maybe a construction worker working on a home
Might be living in a mansion, you might live in a dome
You may own guns, you may even own tanks
You may be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh yeah, serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, it might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

Now you can call me Terry or you might call me Moore
You may call me David or you might call me Coe
You can call me RJ or you can call me Ray
You can call me anything, I don't care what you say

You're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

You may be a rock 'n' roll star, prancing on the stage
You got plenty of drugs at your command, you got women in a cage
You might be a big businessman or some high degree thief
Now they might call you 'Doctor', they might call you 'Chief'

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

It might be the devil, it might be, it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh man, you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody

It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Somebody, somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord

I play the game of the modern romeo but never in my life did I see
A woman as square as a pool table and twice as green
I gave you all of my money and all of my loving too
But now you're goin' around just a telling everybody that I made a fool of you
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you
You're a hard nut to crack
You take a strong man and break his back
I don't know but I've been told, next to you my life's been cold
You're a demon, girl, you know you're outta sight


Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
Ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you

Know the guy you're giving my money
And you come home and call me honey
You look like you made a resolution, took my best friend john and put him in an institution
You're a demon, girl you know you're outta sight

Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above to help me to save your love
I want you

You're a hard nut to crack

You said he was just an old acquaintance that you knew a long time ago
I could tell when he held you in his arms, you seemed spellbound by his charms
No need to try, you can't deny, that look in your eyes spelled love, love, love, love
L o v e, l o v e, l o v e was all I saw, it was love, love, love, love
And I used to call you on the telephone
And I thought, I thought it very funny why you were never home
And I used to believe that I could trust you
But I find that you untrue


Lately, lately I find that I'm all by myself
Thinking you love me, when it's someone else
Hats off, hats off to you and your new lover
'cause for me, 'cause for me there will be no other
Girl, to take your place, with tears on my face
Farewell to you, may God bless and keep you

Please dear lord keep her safe for me
Farewell, farewell my darlin', my darlin', my darlin
Whoa I need you, I need you, I need you

It was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance
You've beat me to the girl that i always wanted
You thought you had her brother but you still don't own her because i'm not through
And there's nothing you can do
You never had her
She took you for a ride
I know that it's a fact that you sneak behind my back
Smiled in my face and deceived me with your lies, but i'm not through
Oh, there's nothing you can do
You never had her
She took you for a ride
But this is the part that you knew nothing of
She confessed to me that she toyed with your love
You were just a game, that she loved to play
You never had her
She took you for a ride
All of her ecstasy that you had
Was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance
You had her brother, you were my guest
You pawned your broken heart just like all the rest
And now you are through
And there's nothing you can do
You never had her
She took you for a ride
Was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance
She took you for a ride

Since you're gone with your guy
I feel as though I want cry
But a man ant supposed to shed a tear
If only you were here (you've gone away baby), if only you were here (you've gone away baby)

If only if you were here I'd lie for you, darling I'd die for you
Please say you're coming home

Since you've gone away


Been working hard while you're at play
Never thinking that you are untrue
Didn't worry over you

So long, this is goodbye
I didn't want you to leave me, but I've got my pride
There's one thing I want you to know
Girl I love you so (you've gone away baby), girl I love you so (you've gone away baby)
You've gone away (you've gone away baby)
So long ( you've gone away baby)
Oh my darling, so long

Hey la, um de hey oh la

Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Said hey, oh hey, feelin' good today
One day as i was a havin' myself a party
You know a flyin' saucer landed right by my side
You know a big green man jumped out and boy you know he robbed me
You know he beat me for my bottle before i got high
I hittim' up knowing that i was dead
'cause he had that big ray-gun pointed at my head
But curiosity will get the best of the best
You know he smelled that bottle and the liquor did the rest
And i said, hey la, um de hey oh la
Hey la, um de hey oh le
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Hey, oh hey, it ain't over yet
Turned that bottle up and started drinking
It was a long, long time before he pulled it away
His eyes got crossed and man his knees started wobblin'
He took four steps forward and this is what he said
He said, hey la, um de hey, oh la
Hey la, um de hey, oh le
He said hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Hey oh la, feel good today
I could see this cat was a just about to party
'cause he had that great big green in his eye
He said come on hurry on down, let's forget our troubles
Just jump in my space hot-rod and take a little ride
So now i'm not afraid of no kind of space man
'cause i keep my defenses by my side
And if you ever see me any place or any time
You can bet i'm a holding my bottle by my side
And i'm gonna sing hey la, um de hey, oh la
Hey la, um de hey, oh le
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Hey oh hey, i feel good today
