Get up in the morning already yawning and I'm so tired
I Ain't had a wink of sleep seems like all week
We're So tired
The Baby's only feeding and one of them is teething
They're So tired
They get up before the dawn I don't know how we carry on
We're so tired

Thank God their mama is a natural
She knows exactly what to do
And as for me I think I'd go insane
I just wouldn't have a clue

You know we try to do our best
Just don't get no rest
We're so tired
Would do it all again you can bet your life my friend
But I'm So tired
Bomp ba da da da da da
We're So tired So Tired
Bomp ba da da da da da
So tired So tired

Just can't wait til the sun goes down and all the kids have gone to bed
Trying to sleep you know but sleep won't come
With all the stuff goin through my head

Well its play group on thursday Music class on Friday, I'm so tired
And Now Mamas getting snappy
Daddy won't change no NAPPY*
And I'm so tired
Bomp ba da da da da da
So tired
Bomp ba da da da da da
So tired

Sometime I think I'll just go on to bed
I must have better things to do
When Its time to get my good night kiss
My dreams have all come true
Bomp ba da da da da da
So Tired
Bomp ba da da da da da
So Tired
So Tired So Tired
So Tired So tired
So tired So tired
So tired So Tired

Say what you will
Good love is hard to find
I've had my fill of the hurtin' kind

Take alot of money
To buy up all the pain

Take alot of honey
To fill me up and put me back
on my feet again

You've seen the worst
Still you find the best of me
My love was cursed
Loosin' destiny

Take alot of linen
To dry up all the tears
Take alot of grinnin'
To cheer me up and put me back
on my feet again

You know I needed a friend
I could tell my troubles to
And you have been my friend
So I will give my love to you
Good love from me to you

Here it comes again
I feel I'm not good enough
Can't remember when
it ever felt so tough

Take alot huggin'
Drive away the fear
Take alot of lovin'
To pick me up and put me back
on my feet again

You know I needed a friend
I could tell my troubles to
And you have been my friend
So I will give my love to you
Good love from me to you

I know you needed a friend
You could tell your troubles to
And I'll be your friend
And I will give my love to you
Good love from me to you

Good love
Good love
Good love from me to you
Good love

. . .


[Chorus:]
(Well) I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right
I'm goin' left
'Til you lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right

There's a train people say
I could ride to get my whole life straight
But the bridge on the way
Has a toll too much for me to pay
Yes I know it must be
What I chose could mean my destiny
Lights are green all is go
But my heart keeps telling my mind no

[Chorus]

There's a land over there
Where all are given equal share
What you get is so small
It's like never having nothing at all
Take my hand as a friend
A will stick with you until the end
But I'm in doubt I must decline
'Cause even friends can change their lines

[Chorus]

. . .


[Originally by The Spinners]

Sometimes a girl
Will come and go
You reach for love
But life wont let ya know
That in the end
Youll still be lovin her
But then shes gone
Youre all alone

Sign of pain
Is on my face, well
My hearbeat stops
But I wont take the blame, no no
I gave her all the love I had within
My love was strong
Somethin went wrong, no! no!

It takes a fool to learn
Yes sir
That love don't love nobody
Love love love love love love
It takes a fool to learn
Yes it does, girl
That love don't love no one
That love don't love no one
It takes a fool to learn
Stop to think about it, well
That love don't love nobody
Oh! Oh no!
It takes a fool to learn
When youre down and out, shout about it
That love don't love no more
Tell the world, oooh babe
No more...
Ohhhhhh, babe
It takes a fool to learn
Gotta be more careful about myself
That love don't love nobody
It takes a fool to learn
Woah baby, took me a long time to learn, to learn, well

That love don't love no one
It takes a fool to learn
I was a fool, you were a fool
That love don't love nobody
Now we got love, we need love
It takes a fool to learn

I told you once, I told you twice
You never listen to my advice
Good kind treatment, I'm threw with you
Won't get to heaven, I don't care what you do

I seen you changin from day to day
Nothin never gets in your way
Don't feel nothin for no one else
Take what you want, jus help yo self

(Say you wanna, say you wanna)
Now you want a Revolution
(Want a revolution)
A revolution now
(Say you wanna, say you wanna)
Say you wanna a revolution
(Wanna revolution)

(Told you once) I told you twice
(Ya never listen) To my advice
(Now your out there) Your on your own
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no home

(Getting mad)
I'm gettin mad at you (Mad at you)
Just don't like the way you do
Don't know where you think you been
But your goin to wind up back there again

(Say you wanna, say you wanna)

No one but yourself to blame

Falling in the deep end
Stop messin' around
I cant keep from falling
When you’re not around
I cant no rest when you leave
Your love keeps me burnin'
You got me lost and found
And my world keeps turnin'

It's not the same
When you’re gone
Feel like I'm
Half of myself
Cause I need to have you around

I need to hear that sound
Of you creepin in the mornin'
I need to look in your eyes
When it keeps me learnin'

It's not the same
When your gone
Feel like I'm
Half of myself
Cause I can’t keep my feet on the ground
You keep me lost and found
And girl it feels good

So, I want you to know
I’m ready to let it show
That I'll be around

It's not the same
When you’re gone
Feel like I'm
Half of myself
It's not the same
When you’re gone
Feel like I'm
Half of a man
But, I can’t keep my feet on the ground
You got me lost and found
And, girl, it feels good

So, I want you to know
I'm ready to let it show
That I'll be around

Can’t keep my feet on the ground
You got me lost and found
And girl it feels good

So, I want you to know
I'm ready to let it show
That I'll be around

. . .


We searched all through the night.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.
I knew something wasn't right.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.

And they say heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.

And then there came the dawn:
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.
I just had to carry on.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.

Chorus

We didn't leave till a quarter to three.
All your friends, they were laughing at me.
I don't get it, I don't understand;
Who is that man holding your hand?

Repeat First Verse

Chorus

Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.
Heaven is one step away.

by George Harrison

Go do it,
Got to go through that door,
There's no easy way out at all
Still it only takes time
'Til love comes to everyone.

For you who it always seems blue
It all comes, it never rains
But it pours,
Still it only takes time
'Til love comes to everyone.

There in your heart
Something that's never changing
Always a part of
Something that's never aging
That's in your heart

It's so true it can happen to you all; just,
Knock and it will open wide,
And it only takes time
'Til love comes to everyone

. . .


One day
I believe
One day
I can see
Baby
Out in the country, maybe down by the sea
Will I wake up one morning and find that I’ve been set free
One day
One day

Some day
I can’t say how
Some day
But I don’t know now
Maybe tomorrow when I’m old and gray
What I ever wanted will finally come my way
One day
One day

One day
This dream will come true
One day
Maybe you will too
Maybe flying high, maybe close to the ground
I will hear your voice and I’ll know I’ve been found
Hold me tight, baby make me stay
I can hear every word you’ve been trying to say
One day
One day

. . .


Tossing and turning
all night long
Down in my pillow
felt so strong
Had to get up
and write this song
Baby where do we go from here?

Can't do anything to make you see
you've been your loving was made for me
what can I do
to make you see
that with you I can't go wrong

All I do is pray
that you will come my way
No doubt about it
I've got a one track mind

You took my breath so easily
and You touched my heart so carefully
and You give your love so tenderly
and You can't do nothing wrong

I got no time for no one else
and I got no love for no one else
cause I don't believe in no one else
with you I do belong

Chorus:
As far as I can see
you're the one for me
No doubt about it
I've got a one track mind

(chorus)

You take my breath so easily
and You took my heart so carefully
and You give your love so readily
and you can't do nothing wrong

(Chorus)
(Chorus and song fades away)

We went down to the seaside,
one cold frosty morning.
Just to go out for a drive,
for an hour or two.

I walked down to the water,
with my love and our baby.
Watched the waves breaking in,
we're enjoying the view.

Then I heard myself saying,
"We should do this more often,
to watch the little ones playing,
on that bright stony shore."

And I wished deep down in my heart,
that we could stay here forever.
In these sweet simple moments,
that will come back no more.

When it's 3 o'clock in the morning,
and something scared you from your breast,
I will gently rock you in my arms,
and lay your little head on my chest,

CHORUS

And when you run, from my arms,
Know we'll always find you.
And when you run, out of loving,
And run home to me. (Run home to me)

And the years fly by so quickly,
Like a plane before my eyes,
And you've grown up into a woman,
Before I had time, had time to realize.

And then you'll run, from my arms,
and we'll always come and find you.
And when you run, out of loving,
then run home to me.

Lord when you run, run out of my arms,
We will always come and find you,
and when you run, out of loving,
then run home to me. (Run home to me)

. . .


I've been on the road too long
Moving in the wrong direction
I don't know where I belong
I don't know what I will do, if I can't get back home

Troubles I've got on my own
They don't fit no other person
Memories keep rollin' on
I don't know what I will do, if I can't get back home

I don't fit, but I don't give a damn
I won't quit, cause I know who I am
And I'll admit that I've been on the lamb

Bit by bit, I'll review my plan
This is it, do the best I can
Trust and understand

'Cause I know that I am loved
'Cause I'll be on my way
Got no need to stay ...'round here
'Cause I been on this road too long
Going in the wrong direction
And I don't know where I've come from
All I know is I will die, if I don't get back home
