I Looked Away

She took my hand
And tried to make me understand
That she would always be there

But I looked away
And she ran away from me today
I'm such a lonely man

It came as no surprise to me
That she'd leave me in misery
It seemed like only yesterday
She made a vow that she'd never walk away

She took my hand
And tried to make me understand
That she would always be there

But I looked away
And she ran away from me today
I'm such a lonely man
 

And if it seemed a sin
To love another man's woman, baby
I guess I'll keep on sinning
Loving her, Lord, till my very last day


But I looked away
And she ran away from me today
I'm such a lonely man

 

 

Bell Bottom Blues

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry
I don't want to lose this feeling
And 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 all right
The way that you treat me baby, mmh
Once I was strong but I lost the fight
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'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
 

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
(Oh, yeah-yeah)
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it 'cause
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


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

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
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
 

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
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

 

 

Keep On Growing

I was laughing
Playing in the streets, I was unknowing
I didn't know my fate
Playing
The game of love, but never really showing
I thought that love could wait
I was a young man and sure to go astray
You walked right into my life
And told me love would find a way

To keep on growing
Keep on growing
Keep on growing

I was standing
Looking in the face of one who loved me
Feeling so ashamed
Hoping
And praying, Lord, that she could understand me
But I didn't know her name
She took my hand in hers and told me I was wrong
She said, "You're gonna be all right, boy
Oh, just as long"

"As you keep on growing
Keep on growing
Keep on growing"
Yeah, yeah, yeah
 

Maybe
Someday baby, who knows where or when, Lord
Just you wait and see

We'll be walking
Together hand in hand, along forever
Woman just you and me

Cause time is gonna change us
Lord, and I know it's true
Our love is gonna keep on glowing
And growing and it's all we gotta do

Keep on growing
Keep on growing
Keep on growing
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Keep on growing
Keep on growing
Keep on growing

 

Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, I just did not care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins, yeah

'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any

When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out, yeah

But when you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange, yeah
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

 

I Am Yours

I am yours
However distant you may be
There blows no wind, but wafts your scent to me
There sings no bird, but calls your name to me
Each memory that has left its trace with me
Lingers forever as a part of me
I am yours
However distant you may be
There blows no wind, but wafts your scent to me
There sings no bird, but calls your name to me
Each memory that has left its trace with me
Lingers forever as a part of me
I am yours
However distant you may be
There blows no wind, but wafts your scent to me
There sings no bird, but calls your name to me
Each memory that has left its trace with me
Lingers forever as a part of me

I am yours

 

Anyday

You were talking and I thought I heard you say
"Please leave me alone
Nothing in this world can make me stay
I'd rather go back, I'd rather go back home"

But if you believed in me like I believe in you
We could have a love so true, we would go on endlessly
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, only for a little while

Well someday baby, I know you're gonna need me
When this old world has got you down
I'll be right here, so woman call me
And I'll never ever let you down

But if you believed in me like I believe in you
We could have a love so true, we would go on endlessly
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, just for a little while
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, only for a little while

To break the glass and twist the knife into yourself;
You've got to be a fool to understand
To bring your woman back home after she's left you for another
You've got to be a, you've got to be a man

But if you believed in me like I believe in you
We could have a love so true, we would go on endlessly
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, just for a little while
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile
Any way, any way, only for a little while

Key To The Highway

 

I got the key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is much too slow

I'm going back to the border
Woman, where I'm better known
You know you haven't done nothing
Drove a good man away from home

Oh give me one, one more kiss mama
Just before I go
'Cause when I leave this time you know I
I won't be back no more

I got the key, key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is most too slow

I got the key, key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is most too slow

I'm going back, back to the border
Babe, I'd better go
You know you haven't done nothing
Drove a good man away from home

 

Tell The Truth

Tell me who's been fooling you?
Tell the truth, who's been fooling you?

There you sit there looking so cool
While the whole show is passing you by
Better come to terms with your fellow men soon cause
Whole world is shaking now, can't you feel it?
New dawn is breaking now, can't you see it?

Tell the truth, tell me who's been fooling you?
Tell the truth, who's been fooling you?

It doesn't matter just who you are
Or where you're going or been
Open your eyes and look into my heart
Whole world is shaking now, can't you feel it?
New dawn is breaking now, can't you see it?

I said, "See it, yeah, can't you see it?
Can't you see it, yeah, can't you see it?
I can see it, yeah"

 

 

Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Gotta find me a way to get me back to yesterday
How can I ever hope to forget you?
Won't you show me a place where I could hide my lonely face?
I know you're gonna break my heart if I let you

Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?

Like a moth to the flame, like a song without a name
I've never been the same since I met you (woah, oh)
Like a bird on the wing, got a brand new song to sing
I can't keep from singing about you

Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?

I'm beginning to see what a fool you've made of me
I might have to break the law when I find you (yes, I will now)
Stop running away, I got a better game to play
You know I can't go on living without you, no

Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so, ooh

Woah
Why does love got to be so
Why does love got to be so

 

Have You Ever Loved A Woman

Have you ever loved a woman
So much you tremble in pain?
Have you ever loved a woman
So much you tremble in pain?

And all the time you know, yeah
She bears another man's name

But you just love that woman
So much it's a shame and a sin
You just love that woman, yes
So much it's a shame and a sin

But all the time you know, yes you know
She belongs to your very best friend

Have you ever loved a woman
And you know you can't leave her alone?
Have you ever loved a woman, yes
And you know you can't leave her alone?

Something deep inside of you
Won't let you wreck your best friend's home

 

 

Little Wing

Well, she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running around
Butterflies and zebras and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about

And when I'm sad, she comes to me
A thousand smiles she gives to me free
Said it's all right, take anything you want from me
(Anything you want, babe) (Anything)

Well, she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running around
Butterflies and zebras and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about

And when I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
Said it's all right, take anything you want from me, baby
(Anything you want) (Anything)

Whoo
Fly on little wing
Baby, baby

 

Its Too Late

It's too late, she's gone
It's too late, my baby's gone
Wish I had told her she was my only one
It's too late, she's gone

It's a woman that cries
So I guess I've gotta dry my eyes
Yes, I will miss her more than anyone
It's too late, she's gone

She's gone (she's gone), yes she's gone (she's gone)
She's gone (she's gone), my baby's gone (she's gone)
She's gone (she's gone), yes she's gone (she's gone)
Where can my baby be?

And I wonder does she know
When she left me, it hurt me so
I need your love babe, please don't make me wait
Tell me it's not too late

She's gone (she's gone), yes she's gone (she's gone)
She's gone (she's gone), my baby's gone (yeah she's gone)
She's gone (she's gone), ooh yeah she's gone (she's gone)
Where can my baby be?

And I wonder does she know
When she left me, it hurt me so
I need your love babe, please don't make me wait
Tell me it's not too late

 

Layla

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side
You've been running and hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride

Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
Turned my whole world upside down

Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain

Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging, darling please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

 

Thorn Tree In The Garden

There's a thorn tree in the garden
If you know just what I mean
And I hate to hurt your feelings
But it's not the way it seems, 'cause I miss her

She's the only girl I've cared for
The only one I've known
And no one ever shared more love
Than we've known and I miss her

But it all seems so strange you see
'Cause she'd never turn her back on me
And leave without a last goodbye
And if she winds up walking the streets
Loving every other man she meets
Who'll be the one to answer why?
Lord, I hope it's not me, oh it's not me

And if I never see her face again
I never hold her hand
And if she's in somebody's arms
I know I'll understand but I'll miss that girl
Lord I still miss that girl
