Good friends we have. Oh.  
Good friends we have lost along the way. Yeah!  
In this great future you can’t forget your past.  
So dry your tears, I say.  
Yeah.

No, woman, no cry.

Don’t cry for me, Argentina  
The truth is, I never left you  
All through my wild days, my mad existence  
I kept my promise  
Don’t keep your distance

You have no right to ask me how I feel  
You have no right to speak to me so kind  
I can’t go on just holding on to times  
Now that we’re living separate lives

Someday love will find you  
Break those chains that bind you  
One night will remind you  
How we touched and went our separate ways  
If he ever hurts you  
True love won’t desert you  
You know I still love you  
Though we touched and went our separate ways

The scars of your love remind me of us  
They keep me thinkin’ that we almost had it all  
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless  
I can’t help feeling

We could have had it all (You’re gonna wish you never had met me)  
Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)  
You had my heart inside of your hand (You’re gonna wish you never had met me)  
And you played it to the beat (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

So you feel misunderstood  
Baby have I got news for you  
On being used, I could write the book  
But you don’t wanna hear about it  
'Cause I’ve been losing sleep  
And you’ve been going cheap  
And she ain’t worth half of me it’s true  
Now I’m telling you

And when I write the book about my love  
It will be about a man who’s torn in half  
About his hopes and ambitions wasted through the years  
The pain will be written on every page in tears  
When I write the book about my love

It’s a thousand pages, give or take a few  
I’ll be writing more in a week or two  
I can make it longer if you like the style  
I can change it 'round and I want to be a paperback writer  
Paperback writer

If they ask me, I could write a book  
About the way you walk and whisper and look  
I could write a preface on how we met  
So the world would never forget

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear  
You almost had your hooks in me didn’t you dear  
You nearly had me roped and tied

It’s the same kind of story  
That seems to come down from long ago  
Two friends having coffee together  
When something flies by their window  
It might be out on that lawn  
Which is wide, at least half of a playing field  
Because there’s no explaining  
What your imagination can make you see and feel

Seems like a dream  
They got me hypnotized

To have a girl like her  
Is truly a dream come true  
Out of all of the fellas in the world  
She belongs to you

But it was just my imagination  
Running away with me  
It was just my imagination  
Running away with me

Ladies and gentlemen  
Boys and girls  
The chocolate room

Hold your breath  
Make a wish  
Count to three

Come with me and you’ll be  
In a world of pure imagination  
Take a look and you’ll see  
Into your imagination

Baby, tell me does she love you  
Like the way I love you?  
Does she stimulate you?  
Attract and captivate you?  
Tell me, does she miss you?  
Existing just to kiss you?  
Like the way I do?
