The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

I keep lookin' for a place to fit in
Where I can speak my mind
And I've been tryin' hard to find the people
That I won't leave behind
They say I got brains
But they ain't doin' me no good
I wish they could
Each time things start to happen again
I think I got somethin' good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong
SOMETIMES I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Ain't found the right thing I can put my heart and soul into)
Sometimes I feel very sad
(Ain't found the right thing I can put my heart and soul into)
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
Every time I get the inspiration
To go change things around
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things might be found
Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out
What's it all about
Each time things start to happen again
I think I got somethin' good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong
Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad (ain't found the right thing I can put my heart and soul into)
Sometimes I feel very sad (ain't found the right thing I can put my heart and soul into)
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times

I guess I just wasn't made for these times
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you, honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning
To see the real you
And SOMETIMES when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you
'Til the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
SOMETIMES when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you
'Til the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And SOMETIMES when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you
'Til the fear in me subsides

SOMETIMES when I'm mad
There's a part of me that seems to be a little sad
Sometimes when I scream
There's a voice in me that says, "You shouldn't be so mean"
Oh no, oh no
Part of me is acting while the other stands beside
Yes, I am to myself what Jekyll must have been to Hyde
We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I
I don't think I'm different or in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And you'll find the answer in it
Everyone's a freak
Sometimes I have toyed
With ideas that I got from good old Dr. Freud
Nothing new of course
It may seem to you I try to break through open doors
Oh no, oh no
I just wanna say a lot of that applies to me
'Cause it's an explanation to my split identity
We're like sun and rainy weather
Sometimes we're a hit together
Me and I
Gloomy moods and inspiration
We're a funny combination
Me and I
I don't think I'm different or in any way unique
Think about yourself for a minute
And you'll find the answer in it
Everyone's a freak
Me and I...
We're like sun and rainy weather

I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know SOMETIMES I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
SOMETIMES, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know SOMETIMES I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
SOMETIMES, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright, the kids are alright, the kids are alright

When your day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go

Everybody hurts SOMETIMES

Baby, can you understand me now?
SOMETIMES I get a little mad
Don't you know, no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong, I seem to go bad
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yeah, baby, SOMETIMES I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Yeah, and other times it seems that
All I ever have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
Oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Well If I get edgy, I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems, I get more than my share
But there's one thing that I would never do
Oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Well If I get edgy, I want you to know
I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems, I get more than my share
But there's one thing that I would never do
'Cause I love you
Oh
Oh, now don't you know I'm human
I got my faults just like anyone
And sometimes I lie awake, alone, regretting
Some foolish thing, some sinful thing I've done
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I said, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Well, it was nearly summer, we sat on your roof
Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon
And I showed you stars you never could see
Babe, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me
Baby, time meant nothin', anythin' seemed real
Yeah, you could kiss like fire and you made me feel
Like every word you said was meant to be
No, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me
Baby, even the losers
Get lucky SOMETIMES
Even the losers
Keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky SOMETIMES
Two cars parked on the overpass
Rocks hit the water like broken glass
I shoulda known right then it was too good to last
God, it's such a drag when you live in the past
Baby, even the losers
Get lucky SOMETIMES
Even the losers
Keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky SOMETIMES
Baby, even the losers
Get lucky SOMETIMES
Even the losers
Keep a little bit of pride
Yeah, they get lucky SOMETIMES
Baby, even the losers
Get lucky SOMETIMES
Even the losers
Get lucky SOMETIMES
Even the losers
Get lucky SOMETIMES
Should I fall out of love? My fire in the light
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end
For many hours and days that pass ever soon
The tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?
All of my love, all of my love
Oh, all of my love to you now
All of my love, all of my love
Oh, all of my love to you now
The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud Aryan one word, my will to sustain
For me the cloth once more to spin
Oh, all of my love, all of my love
Oh, all of my love to you now
All of my love, all of my love
Yes, all of my love to you, child
Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sows time
His is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind
Oh, all of my love, all of my love
Oh, all of my love to you now
All of my love, oh-oh
Yes, all of my love to you now
All of my love, all of my love
All of my love, love
SOMETIMES , SOMETIMES , alright
SOMETIMES , SOMETIMES , oh, oh
Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Ooh yeah
It's all, all, all, all, all of my love, all of my love
All of my love to you now
All of my love, all of my love
All of my love to-, to you and you and you and you, yeah
I get a little bit lonely, just a little, just a little
Just a little bit lonely, just a little bit lonely...

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try SOMETIME you'll find
You get what you need

But if you try SOMETIMES , well, you might find
You get what you need
Ah, yeah
Oh
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse"
Sing it to me, honey
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try SOMETIMES , well, you just might find
You get what you need
Ah baby, yeah
Ah
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And, man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him
You can't always get what you want, well no
You can't always get what you want. I tell you, baby
You can't always get what you want, no
But if you try SOMETIMES you just might find, uh, mm
You get what you need, oh yeah, woo!
Ah, woo!
You get what you need, yeah, oh baby
Ah yeah

In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands, sing it
You can't always get what you want, yeah
You can't always get what you want, ooh yeah, child
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find

Whatever colors you have
In your mind
I'll show them to you
And you'll see them shine
LAY, lady, LAY, LAY across
My big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day
Let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty, but his
His hands are clean
And you're the best thing
That he's ever seen
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin?
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you?
LAY, lady, LAY
LAY across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay

The first time, ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark, and the endless sky
And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart
Of a captive bird
That was there, at my command
My love
And the first time, ever I LAY with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy
Would fill the earth
And last, 'til the end of time
My love
The first time, ever I saw
Your face
Your face
Your face
Your face
LAY down, LAY down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown
LAY down, LAY down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown
We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
LAY down, LAY down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown
LAY down, LAY down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown
So raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night
Oh, raise them higher again
And if you do, we could stay dry against the rain
LAY down, LAY down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown
LAY down, LAY down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown
We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So raise (raise), raise the candles high (up high)
'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the sky
Oh, raise (raise), raise the candles high (up high)
And if you do, we could stay dry against the rain
LAY down, LAY down, let it all down

You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,
like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain,
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.
Come let me love you, let me give my life to you,
let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms,
let me LAY down beside you, let me always be with you.
Come let me love you, come love me again.

We sat down together
Our table for two
We went through the menu so slowly
I just couldn't take my eyes off you
The juices were flowing
But time wouldn't move
We gazed and the waiters were waiting
They came and went away
Everything around me disappeared
Don't you worry no more
I won't be leaving you (Now I believe in you)
Don't you worry no more
I won't be leaving you (Now I believe in you)
I tell you I've made up my mind (I light up)
There'll be no excuses this time
I want you (Oh, baby)
I need you (Baby, baby)
I want you
Don't let me go slipping through your fingers again
We left in a dream
And ran through the night
Our bodies were frozen in your doorway
But I wanted to kiss you in the moonlight
We LAY in the darkness
Our fingers in knots
There was so much love in your touches
As you wiped my tears away
I was crying softly to you
Don't you worry no more
I won't be leaving you (Now I believe in you)
Don't you worry no more
I won't be leaving you (Now I believe in you)
I tell you I've made up my mind (I light up)
There'll be no excuses this time
I want you (Oh, baby)
I need you (Baby, baby)
I want you
Don't let me go slipping through your fingers again

I won't be leaving you (Now I believe in you)
Don't you worry no more
I won't be leaving you (Now I believe in you)
I tell you I've made up my mind (I light up)
There'll be no excuses this time
I want you (Oh, baby)
I need you (Baby, baby)
I want you
Don't let me go slipping through your fingers again
Don't you worry no more
I won't be leaving you (Now I believe in you)
Don't you worry no more
I won't be leaving you

Before you go walk out on me
Take a look around tell me what you see
Here I stand like an open book
Is there something here you might have overlooked
'Cause it would be a shame if you should leave
And find that freedom ain't what you thought it would be
The years we had were not all bad
In fact I know the good outweighed the bad
Now you say that you've grown tired
You want to be by yourself a while
It would be a shame if you should go
And find that freedom was a long time ago
I know that you can't stand the chains that bind you
They just keep on drivin' us apart
You could go where I could never find you
But could you go far enough to get away from your heart
So one more time, for ol' times sake
Come and LAY your head upon my chest
Please don't throw this moment away
We can forget the bad and take the best
If you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake
If you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake

It's the same old story all over again
You turn a lover into just another friend
I wanna love you, I wanna make you mine
Won't you LAY it on the line
I'm tired of playin' your foolish games
I'm tired of all your lies makin' me insane
I don't ask for much, truth will do just fine
Won't you LAY it on the line
LAY it on the line
LAY it on the line
LAY it on the line
Don't waste my time
You got no right to make me wait
Better talk, girl, before it gets too late
I never ever thought you could be so unkind
Won't you LAY it on the line?
LAY it on the line
LAY it on the line
LAY it on the line
Don't waste my time
You know I love you (you know I love you), you know it's true (you know it's true)
It's up to you, girl, now what have I got to do?
Don't hold me up, girl, don't waste my precious time
Won't you LAY it on the line?
LAY it on the line
LAY it on the line
LAY it on the line
LAY it on the line
Don't hold me up, girl
LAY it on the line
Yeah, yeah
LAY it on the line

LAY it on the line
Oh, don't hold me up
LAY it on the line
LAY it on the line

I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned
Has overturned
I beg of you...
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile, and, baby, I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied
I skip my pride
I beg you, dear...
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned
Has overturned
What can I do?
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me
I know you've got somewhere to go
But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don't you ever leave
LAY down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
Sun ain't nearly on the rise
We still got the moon and stars above
Underneath the velvet skies love is all that matters
Won't you stay with me?
Don't you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
I long to see the morning light
Coloring your face so dreamily
So don't you go and say goodbye
You can lay your worries down and stay with me
Don't you ever leave
Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, there's no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, there's no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Put a candle in the window
'Cause I feel I've got to move
Though I'm going, going
I'll be coming home soon
Long as I can see the light
Pack my bag and let's get moving
'Cause I'm bound to drift a while
Though I'm gone, gone
You don't have to worry, no
Long as I can see the light
Guess I've got that old traveling bone
'Cause this feeling won't leave me alone
But I won't, won't
Be losing my way, no, no
Long as I can see the light
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Oh, yeah
Put a candle in the window
'Cause I feel I've got to move
Though I'm going, going
I'll be coming home soon
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light

Well there's a leak in this old building
Yes, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building
We're gonna move to a better home
We got no pane in this old WINDOW
We got no pane in this old window
We got no pane in this old window
We're gonna move to a better home
Well there's a hole in the roof where the rain pours in
A hole in the floor where it drops right out again
Well there's a leak in this old building
Well there's a leak in this old building
Well there's a leak in this old building (better leak)
We're gonna move to a better home
Well there's a crack across the ceiling
Yes, there's a crack across the ceiling
Well, there's a crack across the ceiling
We're gonna find us a better home
Well, we gotta stove without a chimney
We gotta stove without a chimney
What good's a stove without a chimney
We're gonna move to a better home
Pulling down window shades is no use at all
The kids and the neighbor can peep right through the wall
Well, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building (look out below)
We're gonna move to a better, move to a better
Move to a better home

[Verse 1]
Half-past twelve
And I'm watchin' the late show in my flat, all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowin' outside the WINDOW as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
[Pre-Chorus]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
[Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
[Verse 2]
Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm livin' in
Tired of TV
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
[Pre-Chorus]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
[Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
[Post-Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
[Chorus]
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Look through any WINDOW, yeah
What do you see
Smilin' faces all around
Rushin' through the busy town
Movin' on their way
Walkin' down the highways and the by ways
(Where do they go)
Movin' on their way
People with their shy ways and their sly ways
Oh, you can see the little children
All around
Oh, you can see the little ladies
In their gowns when you
Look through any window, yeah
Any time of day
See the drivers on the roads
Pullin' down their heavy loads
Movin' on their way
Drivin' down highways and the by ways

Drivers with their shy ways and their sly ways

She came in through the bathroom WINDOW
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at 15 clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew what I could not say.
And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah.

I was thinking about parking the other night
We was out on a back road
Me and my baby was just getting right
All systems on overload
Radio blasting in the front seat
Turning out the music fine
And we were snuggled up in the back seat
Making up for lost time
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
You can wine and dine with a man all night
With good intent
But there is something about a confrontation on a back road
Breaks down the defense
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
Steamy windows
Ain't nobody can see
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
There's a sound outside the front door
And I know it's just the wind
But it makes him snuggle up just a little bit closer
And start things happen again
Yeah, yeah
Steamy windows
Ain't nobody can see
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
Steamy windows
Zero visibility

Yeah I'm lookin' out the WINDOW, I'm lookin' at you
See the curtains hangin' in the WINDOW
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin' through the WINDOW
Lets me know everything's all right
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' though the jasmine in my mind
See the paper layin' on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the doorstep
Through the screen and across the floor
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
And I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waitin' there
Not a care in the world
See the smile awaitin' in the kitchen
Through cookin' and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Uncle salty told me stories of a lonely
Baby with a lonely kind of life to lead
My mammy was lusted, daddy he was busted
They left her to be trusted till the orphan bleeds
But when she cried at night, no one came
And when she cried at night, went insane
Uncle salty told me when she was just a baby
That she'd get by and maybe someday she'd see
But soon she found her mother's love for all the others
The pushers and the shovers was the life to lead
But when she cried at night, no one came
And when she cried at night, went insane
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my WINDOW
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my WINDOW
Oh, oh yeah
Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Now she's doin' any for money and a penny
A sailor with a penny or two or three
Hers is the cunning for men who come a-runnin'
They all come for fun and it seems to me
That when she cried at night, no one came
And when she cried at night, went insane
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
I got this girl beside me, but she's
Out of reach
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Can't hear my baby
Though I called and called
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom, boom
A cold girl'll kill you
In a darkened room
Ride
Ride on

I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl
Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, PLEASE come see
What your loving means to me
She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams Sunday girl
Baby, I would like to go out tonight
If I go with you my folks'll get uptight
Stay at home Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl
When I saw you again in the summertime
If your love was as sweet as mine
I could be Sunday's girl
Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and wait
I got the blues, please, please, please come see
What you do to me
I got the blues
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and wait
Hurry up, please come see what you do to me

Come on (come on)
Come on (come on)
Come on (come on)

Whoa, yeah, why do you make me blue?

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry
I don't want to lose this feeling
If I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it, because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, PLEASE
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
It's all wrong but it's alright
The way that you treat me, baby

But you won't find a better loser
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?

I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, PLEASE

Give me one more day, PLEASE

In your heart I want to stay
Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye
We're surely gonna meet again
And if we do, don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover, oh
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it, 'cause

So true, funny how it seems
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
I want the truth to be said
I, I-I-I, I
I know this much is TRUE
I, I-I-I, I
I know this much is TRUE
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin (all night long)
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
Always slipping from my hands
Sand's a time of its own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
I want the truth to be known
I, I-I-I, I
I know this much is TRUE
I, I-I-I, I
I know this much is TRUE , I know this much is TRUE
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
I want the truth to be, I want the truth to be said
I, I-I-I, I
I know this much is TRUE
I, I-I-I, I
I know this much is TRUE , I know this much is TRUE

Loving you, loving you
Winter, summer, springtime too
Loving you, loving you
Makes no difference where I go

You know that I'll always be
Loving you, just you

Always true, true to you
There is only one for me
And you know who
You know that I'll always be
Loving you
Wanna tell you about the girl I love
My, she looks so fine
Ah, she's the only one that I been dreamin' of
Maybe someday she will be all mine
I wanna tell her that I love her so
I thrill with her every touch
I need to tell her she's the only one I really love
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be TRUE, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be TRUE
Sunday morning, when we go down to church
See the menfolk standin' in line
Who say they come to pray to the Lord
With my little girl, looks so fine
In the evening when the sun is sinkin' low
Everybody's with the one they love
I walk the town, keep a-searchin' all around
Lookin' for my street corner girl
I got a woman, wanna ball all day, yeah
I got a woman, she won't be TRUE, no, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be TRUE
In the bars, with the men who play guitars
Singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times
My little lover does a midnight shift
She followed around all the time
I guess there's just one thing a-left for me to do
Gonna pack my bags and move on my way
'Cause I got a worried mind sharin' what I thought was mine
Gonna leave her where the guitars play
I got a woman, she won't be TRUE, no, no
I got a woman, wanna ball all day, yeah, yeah
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I got a little woman and she won't be TRUE

(No, no, what can I say?)
(Hey, hey, what can I do?)

Hey, hey what can I do

Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa, hear what I said
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
(No, no, what can I say?) keep on, keep on
(Hey, hey, what can I do?)

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom, running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions, they're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me
Don't cry for me, Argentina
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is TRUE
