Put me in coach, I’m ready to play today
Put me in coach, I’m ready to play today
Look at me, I can be, Centerfield
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don’t know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
Roly poly fish heads are never seen drinking cappuccino
In Italian restaurants with Oriental women yeah
I could escape this feeling, with my China girl
I feel a wreck without my, little China girl
I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing
I’m a mess without my, little China girl
China girl, I met you in the sea sand
You touched me with your cool hand
Your perfume´s in the wind
China girl, your daddy tells you white lies
To keep it from my blue eyes
To know me is no sin
You’ve found someone new
And, Don’t it make my brown eyes blue?
Blue eyes,
Baby’s got blue eyes.
Like a deep blue sea,
On a blue blue day.
Green-eyed lady, passion’s lady
Dressed in love, she lives for life to be
Green-eyed lady feels life I never see
Setting suns and lonely lovers free
No one knows what it’s like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
I didn’t mean to treat you bad
Didn’t know just what I had
But honey now I do
And don’t it make my brown eyes
Don’t it make my brown eyes
Don’t it make my brown eyes blue
Black eyes open wide
It’s time to testify
There’s no room for lies
And everyone’s waitin’ for you
And a sweet young thing called out my name
And this is how it goes, she says…
“Go boy, can you hear them?
Are you falling through the cracks in your eyes?”
And I got down on my knees
I get up from the ground in the middle of the morning
Up from the ground in the middle of the evening
Up from the ground and I’m falling back down
Up from the ground and I testify
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
Hit me with your best shot,
Why don’t you hit me with your best shot,
Fire away…
Shot through the heart
And you’re to blame
Darlin’, you give love a bad name
Oh, my darlin’
Oh, my darlin’
Oh, my darlin’ Clementine.
You were lost and now I found you,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine…
I’m sorry, so sorry
That I was such a fool
I didn’t know
Love could be so cruel
He’s got a fool hearted memory
It won’t let him see
That she walked out the door
He’s got a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more
Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
