More song lyrics 8

Someday, I'll be so far away from all of you
All this unspoken ridicule
You'll never rule my life like the way that you used to
I find I am much better off out on my own
Maybe a house, but not a home
You'll wake to find I've changed my mind
I'm sorry, but this bird has flown
This bird has flown

I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair
I sat on a rug biding my time
Drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said
"It's time for bed"
She told me she worked
In the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't
And crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

Somebody help me, yeah
Somebody help me now
Won't somebody tell me
What I've done wrong
When I was just
A little boy of seventeen
I had a girl
She was my queen
She didn't love me like I loved her
Now I know
Now I'm so lonesome on my own
Somebody help me, yeah
Somebody help me now
Won't somebody tell me
What I've done wrong

My makeup is dry and it cracks round my chin
I'm drowning my sorrows in whiskey and gin
The lion-tamer's whip doesn't crack anymore
The lions they won't fight and the tigers won't roar

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
So let's go drink to the death of a clown
Won't someone help me to break up this crown?
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Let's all drink to the death of a clown

And they called it puppy love
Oh, I guess they'll never know
How a young heart really feels
And why I love her so
And they called it puppy love
Just because we're, we're 17
Tell them all it, please tell them it isn't fair
To take away my only dream
I cry each night my tears for you
My tears are all in vain
I hope and I'll pray that maybe someday
You'll be back (you'll be back), in my arms (in my arms)
Once again (will be back in my arms once again)
Someone help me, help me, help me please
Is the answer up above?
How can I, oh, how can I tell them
This is not a puppy love? (This is not a puppy love)

I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh, I am for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologized a trillion times
I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh, I am for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologized a trillion times

Me and your daughter got a special thang goin' on
You say it's puppy love, we say it's full-grown
Hope that we feel this, feel this way forever
You can plan a pretty picnic but you can't predict the weather
Ms. Jackson

… Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay
… After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you, I promise to
And after all that's been said and done
You're just the part of me I can't let go, ooh
… Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for the day from your body
Wouldn't wanna be swept away
Far away from the one that I love
… Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really wanna tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me
Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday, I'm in love
Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate
I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack
Thursday, never looking back
It's Friday, I'm in love

Wednesday morning at five o'clock
As the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
Clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside, she is free
She, ... (we gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (sacrified most of our lives)
Home (we gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years

Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone
Lord, I'm so tired
How long can this go on?
Da-da, workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in trying
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
I know

Watch my daddy in bed and tired
Watch his hair been turning gray
He's been working and slaving his life away
Oh yes, I know it
He's been working so hard
I've been working too babe
Every night and day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

We gotta get out of this place
If its the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life
For me and you

In the day, we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride through mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

She says her love for me could never die
But that′d change if she ever found out about you and I
Oh, but her love is cold
Wouldn't hurt her if she didn′t know, cause
When it gets too much
I need to feel your touch
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feeling′s right I′m gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you

I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
A girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone
I wanna run to you (oooh)
I wanna run to you (oooh)
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I want to run to you (oooh)
But if I come to you (oooh)
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away

Everyone says you're amazing now that you're clean
Only you know the real ones are cause you've seen
There's only one question I want to ask is it healing
When you hear everyone say you're amazing
Does anybody ask you
Do you cry in your sleep and do you feel ok
When you run
Thinking it's Doomsday you got to let it go
So you run, so you run
Pretend you don't see it, that we can live a lie
So you run, so you run

I was born in a trunk.
Mama died and my daddy got drunk.
Left me here to die alone
in the middle of Tobacco Road.
Grow up in rusty shack
all I had was hangin' on my back.
Only you know how I loathe
this place called Tobacco Road.
But it's home, the only life I ever known.
Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
End up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just to cover it up now
Born in the USA
I was born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA now

I walk along the city streets
You used to walk along with me
And every step I take recalls
How much in love we used to be
Oh, how can I forget you?
Well, there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
And I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
When shadows fall, I still recall
The cafe where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling how it felt
To kiss and hold you tight
Oh, how can I forget you?

Since you've been away, I've been down and lonely
Since you've been away, I've been thinking of you
Trying to understand the reason you left me
What were you going through?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
As I look around, I see things that remind me
Just to see you smile made my heart fill with joy
I still recall all those dreams we shared together
Where did you run to, boy?

don't know why I love you, but I do
I don't know why I cry so, but I do
I only know I'm lonely and that I want you only
I don't know why I love you, but I do
I can't sleep nights because I feel so restless
I don't know what to do, I feel so helpless
And since you've been away, I cry both night and day
I don't know why I love you but I do
My days have been so lonely
My nights have been so blue
I don't know how I stand it, but I do
Each night I sit alone and tell myself
That I will fall in love with someone else
I guess I'm wastin' time, but I've got to clear my mind
I don't know why I love you, but I do

I don't know where my baby is
But I'll find him, somewhere, somehow
I've got to let him know how much I care
I'll never give up looking for my baby
Been around the world and I, I, I
I can't find my baby
I don't know when, I don't know why
Why he's gone away
And I don't know where he can be, my baby
But I'm gonna find him

Well, come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot
Father don't like it, my brother don't like it
My sister don't like it, my mother don't like it
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot
Goin' to Alabama back from Texarkana
Goin' all round the world
I'm goin' to Alabama back from Texarkana
Goin' all round the world
My father don't like it, my brother don't like it
My sister don't like it, my mother don't like it
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Come on, baby
Let's do the twist
Come on, baby
Let's do the twist
Take me by my little hand
And go like this
E-yah, twist
Baby, baby, twist
Ooh yeah, just like this
Come on, little miss
And do the twist
My daddy is sleepin'
And mama ain't around
Yeah, daddy's just sleepin'
And mama ain't around
We're gonna a-twist, a-twist, a-twistin'
'Til we tear the house down
