Tom Jones Album

Oooh - Oooh - yeah, Oooh - Oooh - yeah

Now baby you look beautiful in your red dress
When you walk down the street other girls look a mess
But you're makin' me mad and you're makin' me blue
Cos Life's too short to be with you Rpt
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
When you open your mouth I know that it's true
Life's too short to be with you

My friends tell me I'm lucky, they don't know what you're like
Behind closed doors all we do is fight
Then I look in your eyes and I know that it's true
Life's too short to be with you
Life's too short to be with you
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
When you open your mouth I know that it's true
Life's too short to be with you

Instrumental

Oooh yeah, Oooh yeah

You're tryin to cut my eye, you're tryin' to break my jaw
I gotta tell you somethin' honey I ain't takin no more
Cos When you open your mouth I know that it's true
Life's too short to be with you
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
When you open your mouth I know that it's true
Life's too short to be with you
I said a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

All you girls think the days are gone
You don't have to worry, you can have your fun
Take me, baby, for your little boy
Two hundred pounds of heavenly joy
This is it
This is it
Look what you get
You been creeping and hiding behind his back
'Cause you got you a man that you don't like
Throw that Jack, baby, outta your mind
Follow me, baby, have a real good time
This is it
This is it
Look what you get
Hoy! Hoy! I'm the boy
Two hundred pounds of heavenly joy
I'm so glad that you understand
Three hundred pounds of muscle and man
This is it
This is it
Look what you get
If the men's all mad then the women's glad
If the little kids' happy then the old folk's mad
I'm so glad that you understand
Two hundred pounds of muscle and man
This is it
This is it
Look what you get

Woman, when you get rid of me
Who will the next fool be?
I know, I know, I know, I know
There's things I gotta know 'bout the woman I love
And after all is said and done
Girl, you wouldn't be satisfied with anyone
So when you get rid of me
Who will the next fool be?
Will he believe all those lies?
End up like me, with tears in his eyes?
I know, I know, I know, I know
There's things I gotta know 'bout the woman I love so
After all is said and done
Hey, girl, you wouldn't be satisfied with anyone
So when you get through playin' with me
Who will the next fool be?
Will he believe all those lies?
End up like me, with tears in his eyes?
I know, I know, I know, I know
There's things I gotta know 'bout the woman I love so
You know, after all is said and done
Girl, you wouldn't be satisfied with anyone
When you get rid of me
Who will the next fool be?

I went down to the St James Infirmary Saw my baby there She stretched out on a long white table So sweet, so cold, so fair Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She can look this wide world over But she'll never find a sweet man like me When I die want you to dress me in straight lace shoes I wanna a boxback coat and a Stetson hat Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain So the boys'll know that I died standing flat

I ain't mad at you Don't you be mad at me
I ain't mad at you So don't you be mad at me
One and one is two Two and one is three
I wanna find my baby going away downtown
I wanna find my baby going away downtown
If I can't find Roberta,
Going to jump overboard and drown
Oh, I said I ain't mad at you Don't you be mad at me
I ain't mad at you, child
Don't you be mad at me
One and one is two,
Two and one is three
Come on baby…
Going to pawn my whistle,
Pawn my watch and chain
Going to pawn my whistle
Pawn my watch and chain
If I can't find Roberta
I'll hand over all my pay
Oh, I said, I ain't mad at you
Don't you be mad at me
I ain't mad at you
Don't you be mad at me
One and one is two
Two and one is three

I am a strong man
Not such a young man
I will do all I can
For that special woman

My arms will stay strong
My love will burn along
Like the fire in the heart's song
If she's the right one

I know how to love
I ain't no liar
There's a flame in my heart
It burns like a fire

I've got all this love
I can give you if you let me
And I'll be your baptism by fire
I'll be your baptism by fire

'Cause I am a strong man
Not such a young man
I will do all I can
For that special woman, ooh

I know how to love
I ain't no liar
There's a flame in my heart
It burns like a fire

I've got all this love
I can give you if you let me
And I'll be your baptism by fire
I'll be your baptism by fire

Oh, I've searched for you
So you must know that it's true
And how I found you
Yes, I found you
I'm gonna leave it all up to you

I know how to love
I ain't no liar
There's a flame in my heart
It burns like a fire

I've got all this love
I can give you if you let me
And I'll be your baptism by fire
I'll be your baptism by fire

I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I love them I want them to know
Now I feel my love is real for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so
In my heart joy tear starts cause I'm happy
And I pray every day for mom and pappy and each night
I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so
I'd fight in wars do all the chores for my mama and daddy
I want them to live on till they're called
I'd work and slave and never rave to my mama and daddy
Because I know I owe them my all
In my heart joy tear starts...
I love them so

Well the way is dark
The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting at the end of the road
Well the stars may not shine
Neither the moon
What the heck we don't want no moon
I'm waiting at the end of the road
You can jump in my Ford and give it some gas
Pull out the front, don't give me no sass
Take your foot slap it on the floor
When you get ahead we'll rock some more
Oh! the way is dark
The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting at the end of the road
You can jump in my Ford and give it some gas
Flip out the front, don't give me no sass
Take your foot slap it on the floor
When you get ahead we'll rock some more
Well the way is dark
The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting at the end of the road
