See you round like a record
Our romance is kinda checkered
See you round like a record
See you round
Baby said she loved me,
Then she went and left me,
Causin’ such an awful scene.
What a scene!
I’m gonna take my silver dollar,
Change it into quarters,
Shove 'em in the record machine.
But, Don’t you come around here handin’ me none of your lies,
Here’s a quarter, call someone who cares…
Well you can tell everyone I’m a darn disgrace
Drag my name all over the place
I don’t care anymore
And you can tell everybody this is your song.
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done,
I hope you don’t mind,
I hope you don’t mind,
That I put down in words–
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world.
Please, Mister, please, don’t play B-17
It was our song, it was his song, but it’s over
Please, Mister, please, if you know what I mean
I don’t ever wanna hear that song again
I can feel it com]
ing in the airrington*[ight, Oh Lord
I’ve been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord* ]
Oh, Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz
All my friends drive Porsches
I must make amends…
How can we be lovers if we can’t be friends?
How can we start over when the fighting never ends?
Baby, how can we make love if we can’t make amends?
How can we be lovers if we can’t be, can’t be friends?
My sweet Lord
Mm, my Lord
Mm, my Lord
I really want to know you
I really want to go with you
Really want to show you, Lord
That it won’t take long, my Lord
We danced every dance, and Lord, the beer that we went through,
I’m satisfied I did my best to make her dream come true,
As she played out her fantasy before my eyes it seemed,
A cowgirl came alive inside those tight fittin’ jeans.
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you’ll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she’s in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
If you’re a stranger here
And you need some action
We have a remedy
That could really catch on
Pleased to see another face
At light-up time
If you’re feeling dull and run-down
We can really make you shine.
Dancing in the city
Alleys that we run through
Now we’ve just begun to
Have fun tonight.
Well, we all have a face
That we hide away forever
And we take them out
And show ourselves when everyone has gone
Some are satin, some are steel
Some are silk and some are leather
They’re the faces of a stranger
But we’d love to try them on
Take my hand
I’m a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
Well I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C’mon hold on tight
Oh c’mon hold on tight
Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Do you remember the 21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders,
While chasing the clouds away…
Oh, what a night
Late December back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember, what a night
December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs we no longer sing
A winter’s day,
In a deep and dark December.
I am alone.
Gazing from my window to the streets below,
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow,
I am a rock,
I am an island.
