The Osmonds

I'm a track star, gotta run far,
And I'm ready to go;
It's a long, long road.
And I gotta make it on my own.
Everybody's gainin' on me,
Tryin' to slow me down, but if
I'm gonna make it,
Gotta fight, fight, fight all day,
And night--and day--all right.
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home,
I gotta make it, gonna make it all
right,
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home,
If it takes me the rest of my life.
I'm a space man, from a different world,
I gotta get back home,
I've been gone so long,
That I'm feelin' like a useless man.
Everybody's lookin' at me,
Tyrin' to help me down,
I gotta fight, fight, fight, even though
it takes
Another day, and night, and day, all right,
Oh me, why, why,
Is it either win or lose,
Somehow, someday
I'll never ever have to go away.
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home,
I gotta make it, gonna make it all right,
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home,
I gotta make it, gonna make it all right,
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home,
I gotta make it, gonna make it all right.
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home,
It it takes the rest of my life.

Livin' is dyin'
'Cause love you've left me cryin'
Now there's no use tryin' to go on
Each night I dream baby, pretendin'
There'll be a happy endin'
Burnin' down deep inside
Got a heartbreak that I can't hide
(Down inside, deep down inside)
I'm not the proud one, I need you
I'm beggin' to you baby, please
You're the proud one, believe me
This poor man is down on his knees
Baby, please
Oh baby, remember
The love we shared so tender
Hoping that forever you'd me mine
I wish you could hear me, oh baby
If only you were near me
I didn't know what I had
Don't ya know that I feel so bad
(Didn't know, I didn't know)
I'm not the proud one, I need you
I'm beggin' to you baby, please
You're the proud one, believe me
This poor man is down on his knees
I'm not the proud one, I need you
I'm beggin' to you baby, please
You're the proud one, believe me
This poor man is down on his knees

Girl when you hold me, how you control me
You bend and you fold me, anyway you please
It must be easy for you, the loving things that you do
But just a pastime for you, I could never be

And I never know, girl
If I should stay or go
'Cos the games that you play
Keep driving me away

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

Kisses and caresses, are only minor tests, babe
Of love lead to stresses, between a woman and a man
So if love everlasting, isn't what you're asking
I'll have to pass, girl, I'm proud to take a stand

I can't continue guessing
Because it's only messing
With my pride and my mind
So write down this time to time

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

I'm just a little old-fashioned
It's take more than physical attraction
My initial reaction is honey give me love
Not a facsimile of

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love (love me, love me)
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

Lovin' you could be so easy,
lovin' you could make me warm.
Ever since the day I left you,
I try, but I just can't get you
out of my mind.
Thought that I could do without you,
thought I had to look around.
But now that I know I need you,
and promise that I'll never leave you,
won't you please...
Let me in,
let me in your arms again.
Let me give my love to you once more.
Let me love you, let me love you.
Take me in,
take me in your arms to stay,
and I'll never go away again.
'Cause I love you, 'cause I love you.
I'll never be the same without you,
if I have to say goodbye.
I have no right to ask you,
but if you can, won't you try to
love me?
(Won't you try to love me)
Help me?
(I need you so badly)
And let (and let me)...
Let me in,
let me in your arms again.
Let me give my love to you once more.
Oh, 'cause I love you, 'cause I love you.
Oh, take me in,
take me in your arms to stay
and I'll never go away again.
Oh, 'cause I love you, 'cause I love you.
Oh, let me in
let me in your arms again.
Let me give my love to you once more.
Oh, let me love you, let me love you.
Take me in,
take me in your arms to stay
and I'll never go away---

I can tell you've been hurt
by that look on your face, girl.
Some guy brought sad into your happy world.
You need love, but you're afraid that if you give in,
someone else will come along
and sock it to ya again.

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, give it one more try before you give up on love.
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl.
Oh, I don't care what they say,
I don't care what you heard.

I could make you happy, baby,
satisfy you, too.
But how can I if you won't give me a chance
to prove my love to you?
Won't you just give me one chance?
I'll give you my guarantee that you won't be hurt again.

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, give it one more try
before you give up on love.
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, I don't care what they say,
I don't care what you heard now.

I've been noticing you, baby,
for a long, long time.
And I'm not ashamed to tell the world
that you really messed up my mind.
Girl, to me you're like a dream come true.
I'd rather hurt myself than to ever hurt you.

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, give it one more try
before you give up on love, girl.
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, I don't care what they say,
I don't care what you heard now.
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl

Ho, ho ho, just like a yo yo.
Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
Well it's hard for me to see
how you got such a hold on me.

First I'm up, and then I'm down.
Then my heart goes around and around.
Well, I'll bet you five dollars I'm the only fool
who'll climb up a string for you.

And need I say I can't break away,
you control every little thing I do.
I used to be a swinger,
until you wrapped me 'round your finger....

Just like a yo yo,
just like a yo yo.
Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
Turnin', turnin' love keeps a-burnin'
like a fire in my heart
when we're apart, but when we're back together,
you keep changin' like the weather.
Whoops! Now up and down like a yo yo.
Just like a yo yo.

Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
Where I go, and what I do,
well it all just depends on you.
You build me up just to let me down.
But I dare not to make a sound.

'Cause I'm so afraid you will cast me away
like a beat up, worn out toy.
So I hold on tight with all my might,
just to be your lovin' boy.
No matter what you say or do,
I'm gonna bounce right back to you now
just like a yo yo.
Just like a yo yo.

Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
Ho, ho, ho, just like a yo yo.
