Hello, it’s me…  
I thought about us for a long long time.

Maybe I think too much, but somethings wrong,  
There’s something here that doesn’t last too long,  
Maybe I shouldn’t think of you as mine…

Hello, how are you?  
Have you been alright  
Through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?  
That’s what I’d say  
I’d tell you everything  
If you’d pick up that telephone

Hey you, out there on your own, sitting naked by the phone, can you feel me?

I overwhelm as I approach you, make your lungs hold breath inside!  
Lovers break caresses for me, love enhanced when I’ve gone by

You’ll feel me coming, a new vibration  
From afar you’ll see me, I’m a sensation  
I’m a sensation

See me…  
Feel me.  
Touch me…  
Heal me.

Come on, come on, come on, come on  
Now touch me, babe  
Can’t you see that I am not afraid?  
What was that promise that you made?  
Why won’t you tell me what she said?  
What was that promise that you made?

Well, there I was in Hollywood  
Wishin’ I was doin’ good  
Talkin’ on the telephone line  
But they don’t need me in the movies  
And nobody sings my songs  
Guess I’m just a wastin’ time

Well, then I got to thinkin’  
Man, I’m really sinkin’  
And I really had a flash this time  
I had no business leavin’  
And nobody would be grievin’  
If I went on back to Tulsa time

When my hair’s all but gone and my memory fades  
And the crowds don’t remember my name  
When my hands don’t play the strings the same way  
I know you will still love me the same

When that clock strikes midnight  
And I’m all by myself  
I work that combination  
On my secret hide-a-way shelf  
Then I pull out some Hostess Twinkies  
Dr Pepper and an ol’ Moon Pie  
Then sit back in glorious expectation  
Of a genuine junk-food high

When the truth is found to be lies  
And all the joy within you dies

Don’t you want somebody to love?  
Don’t you need somebody to love?  
Wouldn’t you love somebody to love?  
You better find somebody to love  
Love, love

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

But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed  
You’re gonna have to serve somebody  
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord  
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

We can dance if we want to  
We can leave your friends behind  
'Cause your friends don’t dance  
And if they don’t dance  
Well, they’re no friends of mine

Oh, when you dance, you’re charming  
And you’re gentle  
Especially when you do that Continental  
But this feeling isn’t purely mental  
For heaven rest us  
I’m not asbesdos  
And that’s why

I won’t dance, why should I?  
I won’t dance, how could I?  
I won’t dance, merci beaucoup  
I know that music leads the way to romance  
So if I hold you in my arms  
I won’t dance

Nothing more than feelings

I feel it in my fingers  
I feel it in my toes  
Christmas is all around me  
And so the feeling grows

It’s written in the wind  
It’s everywhere I go  
So if you really love Christmas  
C’mon and let it snow

The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing  
As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing  
That the work of his days measures more than the planting and growing  
Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield

Sing, get on up and dance to the music  
Get on up and dance to the music

Dance to the Music, dance to the music  
Dance to the Music, dance to the music

All we need is a drummer  
For people who only need a beat, yeah
