Hey lady, you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough
Oh darling, darling, darling
Walk a while with me
Ohh, you’ve got so much, so much, so much
Oh! Darling
Please believe me
I’ll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I’ll never do you no harm
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I’ll never make it alone…
My darling, I need you,
To call my own,
And never do wrong.
To hold in mine,
Your little hand,
I’ll know too soon,
That I’ll so pray.
Please hold my hand.
Oh please, say to me
You’ll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You’ll let me hold your hand
Now let me hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
And when I touch you I feel happy
Inside
It’s such a feeling that my love
I can’t hide
I can’t hide
I can’t hide
Don’t let them say your hair’s too long
'Cause I don’t care,
With you I can’t go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain’t no hill or mountain
We can’t climb
Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
Climb upon my knee, Sonny Boy,
Though you’re only three, Sonny Boy,
You’ve no way of knowing,
There’s no way of showing,
What you mean to me, Sonny Boy.
When there are grey skies,
I don’t mind the grey skies,
You make them blue, Sonny Boy.
Friends may forsake me,
Let them all forsake me,
I still have you, Sonny Boy.
Climb upon my knee, Sonny Boy,
Though you’re only three, Sonny Boy,
You’ve no way of knowing,
There’s no way of showing,
What you mean to me, Sonny Boy.
When there are grey skies,
I don’t mind the grey skies,
You make them blue, Sonny Boy.
Friends may forsake me,
Let them all forsake me,
I still have you, Sonny Boy.
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
Please don’t take my sunshine away…
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don’t they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes
It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no millionaire’s son, no
It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no fortunate one, no
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, “How much should we give?”
Ooh, they only answer “More! More! More!” yoh
It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no military son, son
It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no fortunate one, one
You say you’re lookin’ for someone
Who’s never weak, but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain’t me, babe
No, no, no, it ain’t me, babe
It ain’t me you’re lookin’ for, babe
A woman that I know just came from Majorca, Spain.
She smiled because I did not understand.
Then she held out a ten-pound bag of cocaine –
She said it was the best in all the land.
And I said, “No no no no, I don’t <sniffing sound> it no more,
I’m tired of waking up on the floor.
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze,
And then it makes it hard to find the door.”
-“BB”-
If you want to hang out,
You’ve gotta take her out,
Cocaine…
If you want to get down,
Get down on the ground,
Cocaine…
She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie,
Cocaine…
Take a look, I’m not such a stranger
Here’s a face you cokies all ought to know
You can tell me I’m not wanted, but the joint will still be haunted
'Cause I’m the ghost of Smokey Joe
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.
Silk and satin carriage waiting
Stained glass eyes anticipating
What my mind is celebrating
As I watch the colors fade away
I’m thinking 'bout the morning sun
And all the things I should have done
And all the love I could have won
And all the words I would have liked to say
My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
Let’s vamoose where gals keep a-usin’
Those silks and satins and linen that shows
And I’m all yours in buttons and bows.
Satin sheets to lie on
Satin pillows to cry on
Still, I’m not happy don’t you see
Big long Cadillacs, tailor mades upon my back
Still I want you to set me free…
I can see her lyin’ back in her satin dress,
In a room where ya do what ya don’t confess.
Sundown, you better take care,
If I find you been creepin’ 'round my back stairs…
Well I’m the sheik of Araby,
Your love belongs to me.
Well at night where you’re asleep,
Into your tent I’ll creep.
The stars that shine above
Will light our way to love.
You rule this world with me,
I’m the sheik of Araby.
Midnight at the oasis,
Send your camel to bed,
Shadows painting our faces,
Traces of romance in our heads.
Heaven’s holding a half-moon,
Shining just for us,
Let’s slip off to a sand dune, real soon,
And kick up a little dust.
