I can’t tell you how I feel  
My heart is like a wheel

Let me roll it  
Let me roll it to you  
Let me roll it  
Let me roll it to you

Look around your world pretty baby  
Is it everything you hoped it’d be  
The wrong guy, the wrong situation  
The right time to roll to me  
Roll to me

So if you’re tired of the same old story  
Oh, baby, turn some pages  
I’ll be here when you are ready  
To roll with the changes  
Baby, roll with the changes

Get yourself cooler, lay yourself low  
Coincidental murder with nothing to show  
When the judge’s constipation go to his head  
And his wife’s aggravation, you’re soon enough dead

It’s the same old story  
Same old song and dance, my friend  
It’s the same old story  
Same old song and dance, my friend

</div>

It’s still the same old story,  
A fight for love and glory,  
A case of do or die.  
The world will always welcome lovers  
As time goes by.

If you’re lost you can look and you will find me  
Time after time  
If you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waiting  
Time after time

Time, flowing like a river  
Time, beckoning me  
Who knows when  
We shall meet again, if ever  
But time keeps flowing  
Like a river to the sea

Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’  
Into the future  
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’  
Into the future  
I wanna fly like an eagle  
To the sea  
Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me  
I want to fly like an eagle  
'Til I’m free  
Oh Lord, through the revolution

Love lift us up where we belong  
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high  
Love lift us up where we belong  
Far from the world we know  
Up where the clear winds blow

She’s so many women  
He can’t find the one who was his friend  
So he’s hanging on to half her heart  
He can’t have the restless part  
So he tells her to hasten down the wind

I’m in the phone booth, it’s the one across the hall  
If you don’t answer, I’ll just ring it off the wall  
I know he’s there, but I just had to call  
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone  
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone

Later I tried to call you  
Your mama told me you weren’t there  
She told me don’t bother to call again  
Unless I cut off all my hair  
I get so tired of sneakin’ around  
Just to get to your back door  
I crawled past the garbage and  
Your mama jumped out, screamin’  
“Don’t come back no more”

Sundown, you better take care  
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs  
Sometimes I think it’s a sin  
When I feel like I’m winning, when I’m losing again

But I’m thinking of a wooden chair  
In the room at the top of the stair  
And I’m looking down the stairwell  
At the vanishing dot  
On the map of the spot  
Let me take you there  
The dotted line  
Surrounding the mind  
Of a self called nowhere

I know a place  
Ah, ain’t nobody cryin’  
Ain’t nobody worried  
Ain’t no smilin’ faces  
Mmm, no no  
Lyin’ to the races

Help me, come on, come on  
Somebody, help me now (I’ll take you there)  
Help me, y’all (I’ll take you there)  
Help me now (I’ll take you there)

I know a place  
Where the music is fine, and the lights are always low!  
I know a place where we can go, yes, I do!  
I know a place where the lights are low  
You will come along this place I know

There’s a summer place  
Where it may rain or storm  
Yet I’m safe and warm  
For within that summer place  
Your arms reach out to me  
And my heart is free from all care

West wind soft as a sweet dream

Sitting here by me, yeah  
She’s here by me

Before you came into my life I missed you baby  
I missed you so bad, I missed you so so bad,

And, you should know that,  
So call me, maybe…

I’ve been holdin’ out so long  
I’ve been sleepin’ all alone  
Lord, I miss you  
I’ve been hanging on the phone  
I’ve been sleeping all alone  
I want to kiss you sometime
