When I realized that you need love too  
Gonna spend my life makin’ love to you  
Got to be a lover  
Have mercy  
Forgot to be a lover, babe (have mercy)  
Forgot to be a lover (have mercy)  
Forgot to be a lover (have mercy, baby)  
Make it on through to you somehow

I said she got the kind of lovin’  
Kissin’ and a-huggin’  
Sure is mellow, glad that I’m her fellow  
And I know that she knocks me off my feet  
Have mercy on me  
'Cause she knocks me off my feet  
There is no girl in the whole world  
That can love me like you do

Just my style?  
(Everything about her)  
Drives me wild

Fine so fine?

Your low cut slacks and your long black hair  
Don’t want you goin’ round with no one else  
'Cos when I’m with you I can’t control myself

Why don’t you all f-fade away (talkin’ ‘bout my generation)  
And don’t try to d-dig what we all s-s-say (talkin’ 'bout my generation)  
I’m not trying to ‘cause a b-big s-s-sensation (talkin’ ‘bout my generation)  
I’m just talkin’ ‘bout my g-g-generation (talkin’ 'bout my generation)

Lies, dripping off your mouth like dirt

Lies, lies, lies, I ain’t such a fool

You belong to my heart  
Now and forever  
And our love had its start  
Not long ago

We were gathering stars while a million guitars played our love song  
When I said “I love you”, every beat of my heart said it, too

_You Belong to My Heart. Bing Crosby_

You belong to the city  
You belong to the night  
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light

You were born in the city  
Concrete under your feet  
It’s in your blood, it’s in your moves  
For a man of the streets

I was born in a bass drum  
Brought up by a guitar  
My mama kept a house of hags  
And my daddy dressed in drag

A hot nite in Dallas  
Feel the southern wind  
A hot nite in Dallas  
And the sheets stickin’ to my skin

I was born in a crossfire hurricane  
And I howled at my ma in the drivin’ rain

But it’s all right now  
In fact, it’s a gas  
But it’s all right  
I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash  
It’s a gas, gas, gas
