It’s been a hard day’s night  
And I’ve been working like a dog  
It’s been a hard day’s night  
I should be sleeping like a log  
But when I get home to you  
I find the things that you do  
Will make me feel all right

You know I work all day  
To get you money to buy you things  
And it’s worth it just to hear you say  
You’re going to give me everything  
So why on earth should I moan  
Because when I get you alone  
You know I feel okay

When I’m home everything seems to be right  
When I’m home feeling you holding me tight  
Tight, yeah

If you work all day you keep the rhythm through the night  
If you work all night you keep the rhythm through the day  
If you sell that soul you’ll be burning up right  
If you ain’t got no soul, that’s fine, alright

See all the people want in my eyes  
They all seem to want to share my light

I’m gonna be there when your soul comes down  
I see you running on your own intentions

[Have you seen the sight of me](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPmIuLY8EXw)  
I won’t be there when you run out of changes

Look into your life what’s on tonight  
Dressed up in fame you’re gonna see the sights

I’m gonna be there when your soul comes down  
I see you running on your own intentions

Fame  
I’m gonna live forever  
I’m gonna learn how to fly high  
I feel it coming together  
People will see me and cry  
Fame

Fame, (fame) makes a man take things over  
Fame, (fame) lets him loose, hard to swallow  
Fame, (fame) puts you there where things are hollow  
Fame (fame)

Fame, it’s not your brain, it’s just the flame  
That burns your change to keep you insane (sane)  
Fame (fame)

Fame, (fame) what you like is in the limo  
Fame, (fame) what you get is no tomorrow  
Fame, (fame) what you need you have to borrow  
Fame (fame)

Now I see your face in the strangest places: movies and magazines,  
I saw you talking to Christopher Walken on my TV screen.

Her parents threw big parties. Everyone was there.  
They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper and Bob Seger and Sonny and Cher.

I got flowers in the spring,  
I got you to wear my ring.  
And when I’m sad, you’re a clown,  
and if I get scared, you’re always around.

So don’t let them say your hair’s too long,  
'cause I don’t care, with you I can’t go wrong.  
Then put your little hand in mine  
there ain’t ni hill or mountain we can’t climb.

Babe,  
I got you babe,  
I got you babe.

I got you to hold my hand,  
I got you to understand.  
I got you to walk with me,  
I got you to talk with me.  
I got you to kiss goodnight,  
I got you to hold me tight.  
I got you, I won’t let go,  
I got you to love me so.

I got you babe!

You make me feel  
Like I’m livin’ a

Don’t ever look back,  
Don’t ever look back

Don’t look back  
A new day is breakin’  
It’s been too long since I felt this way

The road is callin’  
Today is the day.

She knows it’s too late as were walking on by  
Her soul slides away  
But don’t look back in anger  
Don’t look back in anger  
I heard you say  
At least not today

So take your time  
I wonder if you’re here just to use my mind  
Don’t take it slow  
You know I’ve got a place to go  
You always do that  
Something I’m not sure of  
But just for today  
Let go and slide away

I was thinking maybe we could go outside  
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride  
Don’t you feel alive  
These are your times and our highs

I know a woman  
Became a wife  
These are the very words she uses  
To describe her life  
She said a good day  
Ain’t got no rain  
She said a bad day’s when I lie in bed  
And think of things that might have been

Slip slidin’ away  
Slip slidin’ away  
You know the nearer your destination  
The more you’re slip slidin’ away

I’m going red and my tongue’s getting tied (tongues’s getting tied)

Let’s spend the night together  
Now I need you more than ever

Yeah, I got a fistful of your hair  
But you don’t look like you’re scared  
You just smile and tell me, “Daddy, it’s yours.”  
'Cause you know how I like it,  
You’s a dirty little lover

So she lays down beside me again  
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name  
Many have used her and many still do  
There’s a place in the world for a woman like you

Oh sweet painted lady  
Seems it’s always been the same  
Getting paid for being laid  
Guess that’s the name of the game

Night or day they’re just not matchin’
