Oh, Oh Claudette
Oh, Oh Claudette

I got a brand new baby and I feel so good
She loves me better than I thought she would
I'm on my way to her house and I'm all out of breath
And when I see her tonight I'm gonna squeeze her to death

Claudette
Pretty little pet, Claudette
Never let me fret, Claudette
Well she's the prettiest little girl that I have ever met
I get the best lovin' that I'll ever get, from Claudette
Oh, oh Claudette

Well I'm a lucky man - my baby treats me right
She's gonna let me hug and kiss and hold her tight
When the date is over and I'm at her front door
And when I kiss her goodnight I holler more, more, more

Claudette
Pretty little pet, Claudette
Never let me fret, Claudette
Well she's the prettiest little girl that I have ever met
I get the best lovin' that I'll ever get, from Claudette
Oh, oh Claudette

When me and my new baby have a date or three
I'm gonna ask my baby if she'll marry me
I'm gonna be so happy for the rest of my life
When my brand new baby is my brand new wife

Claudette
Pretty little pet, Claudette
Never let me fret, Claudette
Well she's the prettiest little girl that I have ever met
I get the best lovin' that I'll ever get, from Claudette
Oh, oh Claudette
Mmm, mmm Claudette
Oh, oh Claudette
Mmm, mmm Claudette

Oh, spring is here and love is in the air
Overflowing with life and I don't have a care
I'm gonna see you shining like your diamond ring
Every cell in our body is singing

Gimme your love forever
Gimme your love
Gimme your love forever
Oh, oh, gimme your love imme your love

All around I see signs of rebirth
Resurrection, renewal, celebration of life on earth
Baby won't you stay with me and watch your garden grow
I love you, I want you, please say you'll

Gimme your love forever
Gimme your love
Gimme your love forever
Oh, oh, gimme your love imme your love

People think I'm crazy as I walk along the street
I don't understand 'em anyway
All I know is since you came my life has been so sweet
And that's the way I know it's gonna stay

Baby won't you stay with me and watch your garden grow
I love you, I want you, please stay you'll

Gimme your love forever
Gimme your love
Gimme your love forever
Oh, oh, gimme your love imme your love

Ever since the day I met you
I feel like I'm walking on air
And lately I'm convinced, it's no coincidence
I run into into you everywhere

And though I've heard your love is taken
I gotta believe what's in your eyes
Would I be out of line if I suggested a time
And we got together one of these nights

Got my heart set on you
You're everything I've ever wanted
Got my heart set on you
Can't be anything but love
Baby I'm bettin' on it

I don't want to give you the wrong impression
I'm not the kind who rushes in
But baby every time I see you, before I even leave you
I can hardly wait to see you again

Got my heart set on you
You're everything I've ever wanted
Got my heart set on you
Can't be anything but love
Baby I'm bettin' on it

I don't mean to be coming on strong
Or taking everything for granted
But love is a thing that just comes along
You don't understand how it got out of hand
But you're in it right from the start

Got my heart set on you
You're everything I've ever wanted
Got my heart set on you
Can't be anything but love
Baby I'm bettin' on it

Aspen, Colorado on a Saturday night
Jesse wishes she was at home
Upset because her baby just ain't treatin' her right
So afraid of being alone
Said she heard some stories he's been runnin' around
Said somehow she knows it's all true
She says a breaking heart can make a terrible sound
She said she don't know what to do

Think about a bad time, can't get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This won't be the last time, sure ain't the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall

You might say she's caught between a rock and a hard place
You might say she just can't win
Some just can't recover from a slap in the face
Some just get right up and start all over again

Think about a bad time, can't get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This won't be the last time, sure ain't the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall

Think about a bad time, can't get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This won't be the last time, sure ain't the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall

Aspen, Colorado on a Saturday night
Jesse wishes she was at home
She's mad because her baby just ain't treatin' her right
So afraid of being alone
So afraid of being alone
Nobody wants to be all alone
She don't want to be all alone
So afraid of being alone
We don't want to be all alone

There's a tenderness that I feel, it's very real you see
I can feel your body stir so deep within
Let it be an out of love tonight completely
And let me ask of you one thing

Don't close your eyes tonight
Just look at me and see how many times I cried for you
Don't close your eyes tonight
Let it be me, not just a fantasy
Let it be me tonight

Well you can lie so close to someone and still feel alone
And though I heard you say you loved me so many times
While you give me love so beautiful and tender
Someone else is in your mind

Don't close your eyes tonight
Just look at me and see how many times I cried for you
Don't close your eyes tonight
Let it be me, not just a fantasy
Let it be me tonight

Sorry if I cry - feelings run so deep
Many is a time when I'll wake up and find
That I'm crying in my sleep
Look me in the eye, tell me what you see
I'm the one who loves you, I'm the one who needs you
Make this one for me

Don't close youe eyes tonight
Just look at me and see how many times I cried for you
Don't close your eyes tonight
Let it be me, not just a fantasy
Let it be me tonight

Life in the city gets all closed in
When you stand in a crowd all alone
Wishing that someone would call out your number
Hoping that someone might phone

Nights in the city can drive you crazy
There's so very much going on
Try to get quiet, you'll miss out on something
Like someone who's looking for
Someone who's looking...

There, I almost got caught again
Lost in the night all alone
With nowhere to hide, crying inside
A wild heart looking for home

Sleeping without you is always cold
The nights are so dark and so long
Dreaming of touching your face in the moonlight
Filling the silence with song

Living without you the days are endless
The clock winding steadily down
Imagining footsteps, your hand at the gatepost
The wind shuts the open door
the wind shuts the open...
There, I almost got caught again
Lost in the night all alone
With nowhere to hide, crying inside
A wild heart looking for home

The songbird, she trembles all day long
She sings as if her poor heart must break
Watching the freedom that flies past her window
Dreaming won't fit in a cage

Fly away songbird, the wind she loves you
Your prison is forsaken at last
Follow your dreaming, you're bound up to heaven
You're reaching for something more
Reaching for something...

There, I almost got caught again
Lost in the night all alone
With nowhere to hide, crying inside
A wild heart looking for home

There, I thought of your face again
A vision to have and to hold
My spirit still sings, I'm flying again
A wild heart looking for home
A wild heart looking for home

Another day is over and I'm on my way home
Knowing you'll be waiting is all I need to know

'Cause I'm in the mood to be desired
Wrap your arms around me
I'm in the mood
Let's build a fire
Till the embers retire, we'll be
Lost, in a world of ecstacy

Forget about my troubles
Forget about my woes
You're the one who comforts me
Whenever I feel low

'Cause I'm in the mood to be desired
Wrap your arms around me
I'm in the mood
Let's build a fire
Till the embers retire, we'll be
Lost, in a world of ecstacy

You're everything I could imagine
Fillin' me up with such passion
Eternity is not long enough for you and me

'Cause I'm in the mood to be desired
Wrap your arms around me
I'm in the mood
Let's build a fire
Till the embers retire, we'll be
Lost, in a world of ecstacy

No more beautiful moons may we spend on our land
In the north, the scarlet council talks of war
And the long knives have massacred the tribe and burned corn
We're not welcome in our homeland anymore

No more songs of the hunters on the baffalo plain
No more smoke from sacred fires touch these hills
And the numbers of the people grow fewer every mile
And our children will not leave the Great Spirit's ways

There will be a trail of tears
There will be a trail of pain
And Jackson will have the Mississippi and the twenty dollar bill
But for us the trail is all that will remain

On the streets of rapid City
On the road to Wounded Knee
There is whiskey for forgetting everything
But the old ones say there may be time learning from each other
The way that it had once been meant to be

There is still a trail of tears
There is still a trail of pain
And Jackson has got the Mississippi and the twenty dollar bill
But for us the trail of tears remains
And Jackson has got the Mississippi and the twenty dollar bill
But how long will the trail of tears remain

African sunrise, shine on a brand new day
African sunrise, show us a brand new way
Give us a brand new morning
Show us forever beginning to stand on our own
African sunrise, smile on my African home

In this hour of quiet contemplation
The stillness of the dawning calms my mind
I face the day with heartfelt exaltation
The light is both a promise and a sign

In the darkness we have lost the son of our sister
Though the beauty of his spirit lingers still
This was a child of love, a child of laughter
Who cannot understand the way I feel

Is it not the sun that gives the seasons
Is it not the sun that brings the rain
Our throats are choled with dust, but we're still singing
Our song will not be silenced by the rain

All around the village I could hear the roosters crowing
There was a time it was like music to my ears
Now all I can hear is the sound of hungry babies crying
I pray for rain to wash away their tears

African sunrise, light of a brand new day
African sunrise, light of a brand new way
With one who will be our brother
And one who will be our partner and teach us to know

African sunrise, smile on my African home
African sunrise.....
African sunrise.....
