I caught you knockin’
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
Someone’s knockin’ at the door
Somebody’s ringin’ the bell
Someone’s knockin’ at the door
Somebody’s ringin’ the bell
Do me a favor
Open the door and let 'em in
Mama take this badge from me
I can’t use it anymore
It’s gettin’ dark, too dark to see
Feels like I’m knockin’ on Heaven’s door
Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got plastic boots
Y’all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed-freak jive
Can’t you hear me knockin’ on your window
Can’t you hear me knockin’ on your door
Can’t you hear me knockin’ down your dirty street, yeah
Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end.
Letters I’ve written,
Never meaning to send.
Out cattin’ that satin doll,
Baby, shall we go out skippin’?
Careful Amigo, you’re flippin’
Speaks Latin that satin doll…
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping
And you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Green-eyed lady, lovely lady
Strolling slowly towards the sun
Green-eyed lady, ocean lady
Soothing every raging wave that comes
It’s been a long time since I rock and rolled,
It’s been a long time since I did the Stroll.
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back,
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from.
It’s been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has.

Mmm, hold on tight to your dream
Eh, hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailin’
When you feel your heart is breakin’
Hold on tight, to your dream, hmm
Mmm, it’s a long time to be gone
(Hold on)
Ohh time just rolls on and on
(Hold on, hold on)
(Ooo)
When you need a shoulder to cry on
(Hold on)
(Ooo)
When you get so sick of tryin’
(Hold on)
Hold on tight to your dream
Hold tight, hold tight, a-hold tight, hold tight
Fododo-de-yacka saki
Want some sea food mama
Shrimps and rice they’re very nice
There’s nobody in the future
So baby let me hand you my love
Oh, there’s no step for you to dance to
So slip your hand inside of my glove
Hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me in your arms
Thrill me with your charms
Your lips were meant for me!
The thrill is gone
It’s gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I’ll still live on
But so lonely I’ll be
Lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
Now I am so lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
Wish I had someone to call on the phone
I never go around mirrors,
I can’t stand to see me without you by my side,
I never go around mirrors,
’ Cause I’ve got a heartache to hide,
And it tears me up to see a grown man cry…
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
His eyes can see
His ears can hear his lips speak
All the time the needles flick and rock
No machine can give the kind of stimulation
Needed to remove his inner block
Go to the mirror boy!
Go to the mirror boy!
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind–
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you’re in love, my how they fly
