I’d like to sup with my baby tonight  
Refill the cup with my baby tonight  
I’d like to sup with my baby tonight  
Refill the cup with my baby tonight  
But I ain’t up to my baby tonight  
'Cause it’s too darn hot

Ooh baby love, my baby love  
I need you, oh how I need you  
But all you do is treat me bad  
Break my heart and leave me sad  
Tell me, what did I do wrong  
To make you stay away so long

</div>

You know the day destroys the night  
Night divides the day  
Tried to run, tried to hide  
Break on through to the other side  
Break on through to the other side  
Break on through to the other side, yeah

I’m gonna run to you

</div>

It’s my baby callin’, says I need you here  
And it’s a half past four and I’m shiftin’ gear  
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much  
She sends a cable comin’ in from above  
Don’t need no phone at all  
We’ve got a thing that’s called radar love

</div>

Once I ran to you (I ran)  
Now I’ll run from you  
This tainted love you’ve given  
I give you all a boy could give you  
Take my tears and that’s not nearly all  
Tainted love (oh)  
Tainted love

</div>

I walk along the avenue  
I never thought I’d meet a girl like you, meet a girl like you  
With auburn hair and tawny eyes  
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through, you hypnotize me through

And I ran, I ran so far away  
I just ran, I ran all night and day  
I couldn’t get away

</div>

I walk along the city streets, you used to walk along with me  
And every step I take reminds me of just how we used to be  
Oh, how can I forget you, girl, when there is  
Always something there to remind me

</div>

I call your number, the line ain’t free  
I like to tell you, come to me  
A night without you seems like a lost dream  
Love, I can’t tell you how I feel

Always somewhere  
Miss you where I’ve been  
I’ll be back to love you again

Love me two times, baby  
Love me twice today  
Love me two times, girl

Well, I’m goin’ away for to leave you.  
Might not come back any more (more, more)  
If I never more see your face again,  
Then it’s honey on that far distant, distant shore  
Honey on that far distant shore.

(Sorry, I just couldn’t resist quoting this maudlin song.)

And honey, I miss you  
And I’m bein’ good  
And I’d love to be with you  
If only I could

When you are with me, I’m free  
I’m careless, I believe  
Above all the others we’ll fly  
This brings tears to my eyes  
My sacrifice

Close every door to me,

Children of Israel  
Are never alone

A land of my own

I understand about indecision

Everybody say I’m lazy  
They all tell me “Get a job you slob,”  
But I’d rather be a hobo walking round with nothing  
Than a rich man scared of losing all he’s got.

So I’m just sitting in the midday sun
