Hey, Mr. Manager lyrics - badfinger
Waiting for the phone to tell me you and I are through
And I'm not alone, I guess that everybody wants it, too
You got no feeling, you've been dealing all the wrongs
Your lies are stealing Lord, I think you should be gone
Hey, Mr. Manager You're messing up my life
Hey, Mr. Manager Don't think I need that kind of strife
It's the same old story, we all know it to the end
But without your boring glory, we could live again
You got no feeling, you've been dealing all the wrongs
Your lies are stealing God, I think you should be gone
Hey, Mr. Manager You're messing up my life
Hey, Mr. Manager Don't think I need that kind of strife
Laying down these lines This song's especially for you
It may be simple But in some ways, so are you!
Hey, Mr. Manager You're messing up my life
Hey, Mr. Manager Don't think I need that kind of, that kind of, that kind of strife
Waiting for the phone to tell me
You and I are through.
And I'm not alone, I guess that everybody wants it, too
You got no feeling, you've been dealing all the wrongs
Your lies are stealing Lord, I think you should be gone
Hey, Mr. Manager You're messing up my life
Hey, Mr. Manager Don't think I need that kind of strife
It's the same old story, we all know it to the end
But without your boring glory, we could live again
You got no feeling, you've been dealing all the wrongs
Your lies are stealing God, I think you should be gone
Hey, Mr. Manager You're messing up my life
Hey, Mr. Manager Don't think I need that kind of strife
Laying down these lines This song's especially for you
It may be simple But in some ways, so are you!
Hey, Mr. Manager You're messing up my life
Hey, Mr. Manager Don't think I need that kind of, that kind of, that kind of strife
Waiting for the phone to tell me
You and I are through.
Keep Believing lyrics - badfinger
[Intro:]
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
I couldn't wish you any bad I only miss the many highs we've had
our problems made it hard to smile
But I still loved you all the while
I can't deny that times have changed
I only wish we could have rearranged it
We were the pawns in someone else's game
Keep believing you can make it now
keep believing you can work it out
Keep believing you can make it now
I know the pace was rather slow
but I was not the one to run the show
Our problems made it hard to talk
slowing run down to a walk
I would have liked for things to last
but now I know that time has put it past
We were the pawns and we became the thing
[Chorus:]
If you wanna blame somebody you can blame it all on me
Just believe and you will see
just believe and you will see
I can't deny that times have changed
I only wish we could have rearranged it
We were the pawns in someone else's game
[Chorus]
Do do do do..........
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
I couldn't wish you any bad I only miss the many highs we've had
our problems made it hard to smile
But I still loved you all the while
I can't deny that times have changed
I only wish we could have rearranged it
We were the pawns in someone else's game
Keep believing you can make it now
keep believing you can work it out
Keep believing you can make it now
I know the pace was rather slow
but I was not the one to run the show
Our problems made it hard to talk
slowing run down to a walk
I would have liked for things to last
but now I know that time has put it past
We were the pawns and we became the thing
[Chorus:]
If you wanna blame somebody you can blame it all on me
Just believe and you will see
just believe and you will see
I can't deny that times have changed
I only wish we could have rearranged it
We were the pawns in someone else's game
[Chorus]
Do do do do..........
Passed Fast lyrics - badfinger
You rise and sing the glory of the future that is passed make it last
Lost inside the reason of a love I hope will last we can fast
Come on, your highest hope the hopes, the dreams will last
Nothing is impossible you know what you must do
The flame the hopes will see you through
Time will not let you wait this time it's tearing you apart let it start
Nothing can deny it all the love that's in your heart in my heart
Come on, your highest hope the hopes, the dreams will last
The future promises will pass
Nothing is impossible you know what you must do
The flame the hopes will see you through are you through
Lost inside the reason of a love I hope will last we can fast
Come on, your highest hope the hopes, the dreams will last
Nothing is impossible you know what you must do
The flame the hopes will see you through
Time will not let you wait this time it's tearing you apart let it start
Nothing can deny it all the love that's in your heart in my heart
Come on, your highest hope the hopes, the dreams will last
The future promises will pass
Nothing is impossible you know what you must do
The flame the hopes will see you through are you through
Rock 'N' Roll Contract lyrics - badfinger
Know you can Know you can
Know you can Know you can
Wrapped up in a Rock 'N' Roll Contract
Lots of things I had to sign at the time
Man told me not to worry 'bout the business
Just keep on poppin' those hits
Know you can Know you can
Know you can Know you can
Sat down in my pyramid mansion
Old Martin seems to know all the chords
Tired of beggin', I can make it without them
Played the blues so I wouldnt get bored
You made me your slave. Whatever God gave me
You took to the grave, now its gone
I gave you my heart. Whatever God gave me
You took to the grave, now its gone
Yeah, its gone
Gone
Smokin', chokin', drinkin', sinkin', falling over
Cokin', flyin', speedin', dyin', roll me over
Roll me over (wrapped up in a Rock 'N' Roll Contract)
Roll me over (wrapped up in a Rock 'N' Roll Contract)
Know you can Know you can
Know you can Know you can
Wrapped up in a Rock 'N' Roll Contract
Lots of things I had to sign at the time
Man told me not to worry 'bout the business
Just keep on poppin' those hits
Know you can Know you can
Know you can Know you can
Sat down in my pyramid mansion
Old Martin seems to know all the chords
Tired of beggin', I can make it without them
Played the blues so I wouldnt get bored
You made me your slave. Whatever God gave me
You took to the grave, now its gone
I gave you my heart. Whatever God gave me
You took to the grave, now its gone
Yeah, its gone

Back Again lyrics - badfinger
Love me tonight, say you just might
Make me in the morning, take me without warning, please
Don't get uptight say it's alright
When the day is dawning. You can make the most out of me
But if you wake up and I'm gone. I'll be back again
You filled my nights with your love and played my games
Songs of the road See me alright
Take me where I'm going Say a little prayer for me
Doing what I like Tell me it's alright
See my disposition Give me your prescription, please
And if you wake up and I'm gone I'll be back again
You filled my nights with your love You played my games
And if you wake up and I'm gone I'll be back again
You filled my nights with your love. You played my games
Make me in the morning, take me without warning, please
Don't get uptight say it's alright
When the day is dawning. You can make the most out of me
But if you wake up and I'm gone. I'll be back again
You filled my nights with your love and played my games
Songs of the road See me alright
Take me where I'm going Say a little prayer for me
Doing what I like Tell me it's alright
See my disposition Give me your prescription, please
And if you wake up and I'm gone I'll be back again
You filled my nights with your love You played my games
And if you wake up and I'm gone I'll be back again
You filled my nights with your love. You played my games
Turn Around lyrics - badfinger
As we've turned these empty pages. I have seen the sweat and pain
Do we have to waste these ages. Going through it all over again?
Let's forget all the dreams we had
Play your dreams of yesterday
When will we ever learn? When will we turn around?
When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn?
All that's left now is to keep on hoping We can change the dice that's cast
I remember how they laughed then But I knew it wouldn't last
I've tried so hard to close my eyes
But I just can't close my mind
When will we ever learn? When will we turn around?
When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn?
One thing's for certain while we're here
One thing's for sure, only the fear
I've tried so hard to close my eyes
But I just can't close my mind
When will we ever learn? When will we turn around?
When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn?
Hey, yea.
Do we have to waste these ages. Going through it all over again?
Let's forget all the dreams we had
Play your dreams of yesterday
When will we ever learn? When will we turn around?
When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn?
All that's left now is to keep on hoping We can change the dice that's cast
I remember how they laughed then But I knew it wouldn't last
I've tried so hard to close my eyes
But I just can't close my mind
When will we ever learn? When will we turn around?
When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn?
One thing's for certain while we're here
One thing's for sure, only the fear
I've tried so hard to close my eyes
But I just can't close my mind
When will we ever learn? When will we turn around?
When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn?
Hey, yea.
Rockin' Machine lyrics - badfinger
A-one, two, buckle my blues...
I'm making it this time
I'm making it this time
I'm making it this time around
Before I lose my mind again
Before I lose my mind
At times she rules my mind
I sit here marking time
Well, I'm well in with the rockin' machine
Put me down, you don't know where I've been
Oh, I'm a rockin' machine
Lately, I've been thinking what makes a man
But I can't for the life of me
Get away from the rockin' machine
Oh, I'm a rocking machine
Oh, I'm a rocking machine
Oh, I'm a rocking machine.
I'm making it this time
I'm making it this time
I'm making it this time around
Before I lose my mind again
Before I lose my mind
At times she rules my mind
I sit here marking time
Well, I'm well in with the rockin' machine
Put me down, you don't know where I've been
Oh, I'm a rockin' machine
Lately, I've been thinking what makes a man
But I can't for the life of me
Get away from the rockin' machine
Oh, I'm a rocking machine
Oh, I'm a rocking machine
Oh, I'm a rocking machine.
Smoking Gun lyrics - badfinger
Once upon a ruthless time
Lived a man folks thought was kind
People called him laughing Will
But inside he loved to kill
Ruled a city with his mob
A connoisseur on the way to rob
And some refused him, they're dead or lame
And old Will always dodged the blame
Johnny could not help be near
But he saw Will's face quite clear
Old Will Parker saw him run
Followed with his smoking gun
He was just a fairground boy
A-helping him on the wheel of joy
He pulled no punches, he played the game
Lived a man folks thought was kind
People called him laughing Will
But inside he loved to kill
Ruled a city with his mob
A connoisseur on the way to rob
And some refused him, they're dead or lame
And old Will always dodged the blame
Johnny could not help be near
But he saw Will's face quite clear
Old Will Parker saw him run
Followed with his smoking gun
He was just a fairground boy
A-helping him on the wheel of joy
He pulled no punches, he played the game
Old Fashioned Notions lyrics - badfinger
You're filling my head with your notions
You take what you want
mess up the man in me
Making a fuss about no one
There's devils in your head
Such an old fashioned notion, baby
Now you're putting me on once again
I see you looking for another one
To play a pawn in your game
You're gonna be the death of me
Go play in someone else's tree
You're gonna end up in a dream
You're gonna be a star
People will try to bring you down
Don't let them see you when you frown
People will come, people will go
In my time, be mine. Pray in time
Bend my space, distort my time
Forsake those who stay behind
Revelations in my time
Kill the prophet, drink your wine
Tear a page out of your memory
You can buy a replacement part of me
And what fate will we find?
It's hard for me to be in any other dream
Maybe I'm a fool compared with you
What can I do
You take what you want
mess up the man in me
Making a fuss about no one
There's devils in your head
Such an old fashioned notion, baby
Now you're putting me on once again
I see you looking for another one
To play a pawn in your game
You're gonna be the death of me
Go play in someone else's tree
You're gonna end up in a dream
You're gonna be a star
People will try to bring you down
Don't let them see you when you frown
People will come, people will go
In my time, be mine. Pray in time
Bend my space, distort my time
Forsake those who stay behind
Revelations in my time
Kill the prophet, drink your wine
Tear a page out of your memory
You can buy a replacement part of me
And what fate will we find?
It's hard for me to be in any other dream
Maybe I'm a fool compared with you
What can I do
You Ask Yourself Why lyrics - badfinger
The more you see of your love
The more you must try
Try to throw away those reasons to cry
It's no surprise you wonder why
You ever believed it
But still you have a reason why
You wanna conceive it
There's no real reason to deny
All that you need's inside
I say there's no reason to cry
All all that you see that is love
You ask yourself why
They know why you feel the pain go by
You don't ask why you read the news
And you better believe it
As clouds go by you see anew
And you wanna perceive it
There's no real reason to deny
All that you see pass by
Is in order to see you and I
All that you see pass by
Is in order to see you and I
The more you must try
Try to throw away those reasons to cry
It's no surprise you wonder why
You ever believed it
But still you have a reason why
You wanna conceive it
There's no real reason to deny
All that you need's inside
I say there's no reason to cry
All all that you see that is love
You ask yourself why
They know why you feel the pain go by
You don't ask why you read the news
And you better believe it
As clouds go by you see anew
And you wanna perceive it
There's no real reason to deny
All that you see pass by
Is in order to see you and I
All that you see pass by
Is in order to see you and I
Keep Your Country Tidy lyrics - badfinger
Keep your country tidy keep rubbish off the floor
Poor old Mother Nature can't take it anymore
Leave things as you find them. It's not hard to do
If your country's tidy so are you
Keep your lover happy keep evil from your door
And when you think you're given then give her even more
Don't forget the small things they're not hard to do
Keep your lover happy just for you
Take me away to the beautiful day I remember
Pull me down, move me round, pull me down
Wish I could stay from beginning of May 'til September
Pull me down, move me round, pull me down
Keep your lover happy keep evil from your door
And when you think you're given then give her even more
Don't forget the small things they're not hard to do
Keep your lover happy just for you
Poor old Mother Nature can't take it anymore
Leave things as you find them. It's not hard to do
If your country's tidy so are you
Keep your lover happy keep evil from your door
And when you think you're given then give her even more
Don't forget the small things they're not hard to do
Keep your lover happy just for you
Take me away to the beautiful day I remember
Pull me down, move me round, pull me down
Wish I could stay from beginning of May 'til September
Pull me down, move me round, pull me down
Keep your lover happy keep evil from your door
And when you think you're given then give her even more
Don't forget the small things they're not hard to do
Keep your lover happy just for you
To Say Goodbye lyrics - badfinger
It's late. I know it's time we were letting go
But I can't bring myself to say goodbye
It's been so long. There's no use in holding on
But I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I know so well what I have to do
But my heart gets in the way
I'm standing here. I'm just a fool in love
What can I do or say
I know. I see, but now that you're here with me
I can't bring myself to say goodbye
But I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I know so well what I have to do
But my heart gets in the way
I'm standing here. I'm just a fool in love
What can I do or say
I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I can't bring myself to say goodbye
But I can't bring myself to say goodbye
It's been so long. There's no use in holding on
But I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I know so well what I have to do
But my heart gets in the way
I'm standing here. I'm just a fool in love
What can I do or say
I know. I see, but now that you're here with me
I can't bring myself to say goodbye
But I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I know so well what I have to do
But my heart gets in the way
I'm standing here. I'm just a fool in love
What can I do or say
I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I can't bring myself to say goodbye
Queen Of Darkness lyrics - badfinger
Queen of darkness colour your hair
Let it shine bright. He'll be there
Queen of lies. Magic smile
Spin your web. Watch him die
Queen of sorrow is what you are
Sad and lonely, with no truthful friends
No truthful friends
Queen of darkness with your head in your hands
So full of sorrow just won't understand
No you won't understand
Let it shine bright. He'll be there
Queen of lies. Magic smile
Spin your web. Watch him die
Queen of sorrow is what you are
Sad and lonely, with no truthful friends
No truthful friends
Queen of darkness with your head in your hands
So full of sorrow just won't understand
No you won't understand
I Can't Believe lyrics - badfinger
I can't believe in some of the stories
Some of the stories they say about you
I can't believe in some of the rumours
Quick growing tumours, they're making me blue
Mother confessor leave me alone
Father depressor you're overgrown
You're on your own, what you're saying now
I can't believe in some of the stories
Some of the stories they say about you
I can't believe in some of the rumours
Quick growing tumours, they're making me blue
Mother confessor leave me alone
Father depressor you're overgrown
You're on your own, what you're saying now
Some of the stories they say about you
I can't believe in some of the rumours
Quick growing tumours, they're making me blue
Mother confessor leave me alone
Father depressor you're overgrown
You're on your own, what you're saying now
I can't believe in some of the stories
Some of the stories they say about you
I can't believe in some of the rumours
Quick growing tumours, they're making me blue
Mother confessor leave me alone
Father depressor you're overgrown
You're on your own, what you're saying now
No Matter What lyrics - badfinger
No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl
Ooh girl, with you
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found, girl
Ooh girl, want you
CHORUS:
Knock down the old, grey wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter where you go
There would always be a place
Can't you see it in my face, girl
Ooh girl, want you

Won't you tell me what you found, girl
Ooh girl, want you

Knock down the old, grey wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter where you go
There would always be a place
Can't you see it in my face, girl
Ooh girl, want you

CHORUS
REPEAT VERSE 1
Ooh girl, you girl, want you
Ooh girl, you girl, want you.
Day After Day lyrics - badfinger
I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
[duel slide guitar solo (Pete Ham and George Harrison)]
Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you.
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day

Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you.
Baby Blue lyrics - badfinger
Guess I got what I deserved
Kept you waiting there too long, my love
All that time without a word
Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget or I'd regret
The special love I had for you, my baby blue
All the days became so long
Did you really think, I'd do you wrong?
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize that I would know
I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue
What can I do, what can I say
Except I want you by my side
How can I show you, show me the way
Don't you know the times I've tried?
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
Guess that's all I have to say
Except the feeling just grows stronger every day
Just one thing before I go
Take good care, baby, let me know, let it grow
The special love you have for me, my Dixie, dear.
Kept you waiting there too long, my love
All that time without a word
Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget or I'd regret
The special love I had for you, my baby blue
All the days became so long
Did you really think, I'd do you wrong?
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize that I would know
I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue
What can I do, what can I say
Except I want you by my side
How can I show you, show me the way
Don't you know the times I've tried?
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
Guess that's all I have to say
Except the feeling just grows stronger every day
Just one thing before I go
Take good care, baby, let me know, let it grow
The special love you have for me, my Dixie, dear.
Name Of The Game lyrics - badfinger
I saw the railway master and I looked him in the eye
I said, "Would you go much faster if you thought that you would die?"
He said, "Not me sir, I could not care, in fact, I would not try.
For protest would not take me far.
It's different, me not being a star."
I lock my feelings in a jar until another day
Oh, comfort me, dear brother, won't you tell me what you know?
For somewhere in this painful world is a place where I can go
Oh, long awaiting mother, is it time to make a show?
And take your babies to your breast
No, we never passed the test
And all our sins should be confessed before we carry on
CHORUS:
Oh, don't refuse me
If you choose me, you'll follow my shame
No, don't confuse me
For I know it's the name of the game
I got up off my pillow and I looked up at the sun
I said, "You can see quite clearly, now, the things that we have done
We burned your sacred willow and our battles we have won.
But did we get so very far?
It's different, me not being a star."
I lock my feelings in a jar until we go away
CHORUS 2 times.
I said, "Would you go much faster if you thought that you would die?"
He said, "Not me sir, I could not care, in fact, I would not try.
For protest would not take me far.
It's different, me not being a star."
I lock my feelings in a jar until another day
Oh, comfort me, dear brother, won't you tell me what you know?
For somewhere in this painful world is a place where I can go
Oh, long awaiting mother, is it time to make a show?
And take your babies to your breast
No, we never passed the test
And all our sins should be confessed before we carry on
CHORUS:
Oh, don't refuse me
If you choose me, you'll follow my shame
No, don't confuse me
For I know it's the name of the game
I got up off my pillow and I looked up at the sun
I said, "You can see quite clearly, now, the things that we have done
We burned your sacred willow and our battles we have won.
But did we get so very far?
It's different, me not being a star."
I lock my feelings in a jar until we go away
CHORUS 2 times.
Maybe Tomorrow lyrics - badfinger
Listen to a lonely sound. See the grey and sadness all around
See the people go their way. Care not of me and love I've lost today
Maybe tomorrow, I will love again
I'll never know until I've looked into her eyes
Maybe tomorrow, I will love again
I'll never know until I've seen her once or twice
And so I'm living for a dream. Each lonely day spent looking for the sunshine
I'll make believe that I don't care. I'll tell my friends I love my life, I'm happy
Maybe tomorrow, I will love again
I'll never know until I've looked into her eyes
Maybe tomorrow, I will love again
I'll never know until I've seen her once or twice
Wherever, whoever you may be. Let the light of your love
Shine through the window of my heart
Then when you've coloured all my thoughts bright
Don't let me ever ever think of night, no-oo yeah!
Maybe tomorrow you will love again
I'll never know until I've looked into her eyes
Maybe tomorrow you will love again
I'll never know until I've seen her once or twice
Maybe tomorrow you will love again
See the people go their way. Care not of me and love I've lost today
Maybe tomorrow, I will love again
I'll never know until I've looked into her eyes
Maybe tomorrow, I will love again
I'll never know until I've seen her once or twice
And so I'm living for a dream. Each lonely day spent looking for the sunshine
I'll make believe that I don't care. I'll tell my friends I love my life, I'm happy
Maybe tomorrow, I will love again
I'll never know until I've looked into her eyes
Maybe tomorrow, I will love again
I'll never know until I've seen her once or twice
Wherever, whoever you may be. Let the light of your love
Shine through the window of my heart
Then when you've coloured all my thoughts bright
Don't let me ever ever think of night, no-oo yeah!
Maybe tomorrow you will love again
I'll never know until I've looked into her eyes
Maybe tomorrow you will love again
I'll never know until I've seen her once or twice
Maybe tomorrow you will love again

If you want it, here it is come and get it

Carry On Till Tomorrow lyrics - badfinger
In younger days, I told myself my life would be my own
And I'd leave the place where sunshine never shone
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Beyond the shadows of the clouds and onward to the sky
Carry on till I find the rainbow's end
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Drifting on the wings of freedom, leave this stormy day
And we'll ride to tomorrow's golden fields
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
And when the heavy journey's done, I'll rest my weary head
For the world and it's colours will be mine
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the setting sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
And I'd leave the place where sunshine never shone
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Beyond the shadows of the clouds and onward to the sky
Carry on till I find the rainbow's end
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Drifting on the wings of freedom, leave this stormy day
And we'll ride to tomorrow's golden fields
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
And when the heavy journey's done, I'll rest my weary head
For the world and it's colours will be mine
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the setting sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Midnight Caller lyrics - badfinger
Beneath the midnight caller
She thinks of paper green
You never hear them calling her name
They just know where they've been
You never hear her holler
The tears no longer come
She reads her daily book of the past
That shows of everyone
Grey years that show in her hair
Can't be, but don't seem to care
She unlocks the door and there's no one there
She sees a daytime stroller
Walk from the night before
And though she paints a smile on her face
He won't be back no more
She's got no saint to follow
She's got no place to go
Too proud to ask an old friend for help
Too proud to let him know
Grey years that show in her hair
Can't be, but don't seem to care
She knocks the door and there's no one there
Nobody (nobody), nobody (nobody), nobody's gonna help you now.
She thinks of paper green
You never hear them calling her name
They just know where they've been
You never hear her holler
The tears no longer come
She reads her daily book of the past
That shows of everyone
Grey years that show in her hair
Can't be, but don't seem to care
She unlocks the door and there's no one there
She sees a daytime stroller
Walk from the night before
And though she paints a smile on her face
He won't be back no more
She's got no saint to follow
She's got no place to go
Too proud to ask an old friend for help
Too proud to let him know
Grey years that show in her hair
Can't be, but don't seem to care
She knocks the door and there's no one there
Nobody (nobody), nobody (nobody), nobody's gonna help you now.
We're For The Dark lyrics - badfinger
Tell me the day and I'll set you free, what you wanna be
Show me the way and I'll let you see what you do to me

I'll Be The One lyrics - badfinger
Where did you go when you were needed?
Was it some place I know where they care?
Rise in the rain
I learned to get by without you for the pain in my heart
I'll be the one, we'll be together
I'll be the one, forever and ever
Look at me now, am I the loser?
If you can't tell me how, tell me why
But just the same
I learned to get by without you for the pain in my heart
I'll be the one, we'll be together
I'll be the one, forever and ever and ever,
Ooooh oooh oooh, ahhhh Ooooh, ahhhh
I'll be the one, we'll be together
I'll be the one, forever and ever and ever
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh...
Was it some place I know where they care?
Rise in the rain
I learned to get by without you for the pain in my heart
I'll be the one, we'll be together
I'll be the one, forever and ever
Look at me now, am I the loser?
If you can't tell me how, tell me why
But just the same
I learned to get by without you for the pain in my heart
I'll be the one, we'll be together
I'll be the one, forever and ever and ever,
Ooooh oooh oooh, ahhhh Ooooh, ahhhh
I'll be the one, we'll be together
I'll be the one, forever and ever and ever
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh...
Without You lyrics - badfinger
Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
Well, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
CHORUS:
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
[guitar solo]
CHORUS 3 times
I can't live, if living is without you.
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
Well, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
CHORUS:
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

You give me loving like crazy
You make my daisy grow high

What you are is what I see
What I see is what I want it to be
When I say I love you
What I mean is I really do
CHORUS:
I'm not the one who'll give you everything you need
But what I mean is that I'll try

Who could ask for any more
And you know, they all love you
What is more, I really do

Dennis lyrics - badfinger
Deeper waters flowed
Recently it showed
Tryin' to cover your head
Tryin' to frighten you
Tryin' to fight with you
Really gettin' you scared
But don't you worry, you love of mine
Pretty soon it will all be fine
And we'll just go on
Higher hills to climb
Climbin' all the time
Tryin' to find a way through
Fallin' down again, on the ground again
Wonderin' what you can do
But don't you worry, you love of ours
They look like weeds, but they're really flowers
And they'll soon be gone
You won't stand up, you won't sit down
Your head's a mile above the ground
And though we tend to scold you now
I couldn't start to tell you how
We couldn't start to tell you how
There's just no way to say how much we love you
You, little Dennis, you
You're full of new surprise
Love you
You, little Dennis with the rascal in your eyes
You're a prize
It could be bad, it could be worse
You're taking out your mother's purse
And though you cried when you got told
The money there was for the old
To keep their dogs from getting cold
The only thing that can't be sold is love
You, little Dennis, you
You're full of new surprise
Love you
You, little Dennis with the rascal in your eyes
Will you pick up your toys?
Will you be a good boy?
Will you please, please?
There's a way
There's a way
If you'll play
If you'll stay
There's a way through
There's a way to take away blue
Take away blue

Lonely You lyrics - badfinger
When I look into your tearful eyes
I don't know what to do
And though you say that I don't realize
I sympathize with you
Lonely you, only you
Yes I do
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
When I ask you just to be my friend
I want to lend a hand
But if we get too close, it's sure to end
Oh, can't you understand?
Lonely you, only you
Yes it will
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
We really need a friend
And friends are hard to find
And harder still to keep
Lonely you
Lonely me
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Lonely you, only you
Yes it will
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
Lonely you
Lonely you.
I don't know what to do
And though you say that I don't realize
I sympathize with you
Lonely you, only you
Yes I do
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
When I ask you just to be my friend
I want to lend a hand
But if we get too close, it's sure to end
Oh, can't you understand?
Lonely you, only you
Yes it will
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
We really need a friend
And friends are hard to find
And harder still to keep
Lonely you
Lonely me
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Lonely you, only you
Yes it will
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
Lonely you
Lonely you.
Love Time lyrics - badfinger
Every day I look into your eyes
I see a love that's there
I see myself and stare
Loving you so many different ways
A kind of harmony
Another part of me
Makes it harder now
If it's easy to believe it
It's hard to realize
As easy to believe it
As the love that's in your eyes
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Well if it's easy to believe it
It's hard to realize
As easy to believe it
As the love that's in your eyes
Found amongst the laughter and the tears
Love I had inside
Love I used to hide
Makes it harder now
Harder now.
I see a love that's there
I see myself and stare
Loving you so many different ways
A kind of harmony
Another part of me
Makes it harder now
If it's easy to believe it
It's hard to realize
As easy to believe it
As the love that's in your eyes
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Well if it's easy to believe it
It's hard to realize
As easy to believe it
As the love that's in your eyes
Found amongst the laughter and the tears
Love I had inside
Love I used to hide
Makes it harder now
Harder now.
Meanwhile Back At The Ranch lyrics - badfinger
Why do you think me so hard to get?
Is there something they might regret?
Is it better to just forget, just forget?
If they only would let us know
Then we'd know just how far to go
But instead they just tell us "no", tell us "no"
You, you always played the fool (you always played the fool)
You always break the rule
At every single school you know (you always break the rule)
It always pulled you down
They could always pull you down
You, you never stayed the same (you never stayed the same)
And now you take the blame
For all the little games they play (you always take the blame)
And let it bring you down
Why'd you let it bring you down?
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

At every single school you know (you always break the rule)
It always pulled you down
They could always pull you down
You, you never stayed the same (you never stayed the same)
And now you take the blame
For all the little games they play (you always take the blame)
And let it bring you down
Why'd you let it bring you down?
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Why do you think me so hard to get?
Is there something they might regret?
Is it better to just forget, just forget?
If they only would let us know
Then we'd know just how far to go
But instead they just tell us "no", tell us "no"
You, you never stayed the same (you never stayed the same)
And now you take the blame
For all the little games they play (you always take the blame)
And let it bring you down
Why'd you let it bring you down?
Should I Smoke lyrics - badfinger
Should I smoke or should I die?
Somebody must tell me why
Should I laugh, should I cry
Won't somebody help me?
Don't know what to say
You're makin' me better
I've learned how to pray
Change in the weather today
Don't know what to do
Just makes it hard to lose
The day passes by
Nobody listens
And nobody cries
For anyone's mission today
Don't know what to do
Just makes it hard to choose
Should I smoke or should I die?
Somebody must tell me why
Should I laugh, should I cry
Won't somebody help me?
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)].
Somebody must tell me why
Should I laugh, should I cry

Don't know what to say

Just makes it hard to lose
The day passes by
Nobody listens
And nobody cries
For anyone's mission today
Don't know what to do
Just makes it hard to choose
Should I smoke or should I die?
Somebody must tell me why
Should I laugh, should I cry
Won't somebody help me?

Sometimes lyrics - badfinger
Sometimes, I'm only waiting for your smile
Sometimes, I'll only wait a while
Sometimes, a feeling makes me wanna cry
Tell me why
Sometimes, I'm fooling, playing for my time
Sometimes, the days are always fine
Sometimes, a cloudburst puts me out of line
It's a crime
CHORUS:
There's always tomorrow, the end of your sorrow and pain
(Oo pain, sorrow and pain)
(Oo pain, sorrow and pain)
There's always a reason you always believed in my soul (in my soul)
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
CHORUS
Yeah
REPEAT VERSE 1
Gotta find out why (find out why)
Tell me why
Find out why.
Sometimes, I'll only wait a while
Sometimes, a feeling makes me wanna cry
Tell me why
Sometimes, I'm fooling, playing for my time
Sometimes, the days are always fine
Sometimes, a cloudburst puts me out of line
It's a crime
CHORUS:
There's always tomorrow, the end of your sorrow and pain
(Oo pain, sorrow and pain)
(Oo pain, sorrow and pain)
There's always a reason you always believed in my soul (in my soul)

I Don't Mind lyrics - badfinger
Birds sing and doorbells ring in answer
People say it's a lovely day outside
I don't mind, I've got my way of living
Even if it's only for the ride
I don't mind if people find me lazy
I could say it's only for the fun
Step inside and see if I can make you
After all it's only just begun
You don't know me, what's on my mind
You can't show me what I can't find
Days, nights, alright, it's easy
Breaking time and making rhymes for you
I don't mind, I've got my way of giving
Even if it's all I ever do
[piano solo (Pete Ham)]
Step inside and see if I can make you
Even if it's only for the ride
You don't know me, what's on my mind
You can't show me what I can't find.
People say it's a lovely day outside
I don't mind, I've got my way of living
Even if it's only for the ride
I don't mind if people find me lazy
I could say it's only for the fun
Step inside and see if I can make you
After all it's only just begun
You don't know me, what's on my mind
You can't show me what I can't find
Days, nights, alright, it's easy
Breaking time and making rhymes for you
I don't mind, I've got my way of giving
Even if it's all I ever do
[piano solo (Pete Ham)]
Step inside and see if I can make you
Even if it's only for the ride
You don't know me, what's on my mind
You can't show me what I can't find.
Blind Owl lyrics - badfinger
Lies, ties, Mr. Cool disguise
Hang it up, get up on your own
Pill driven skills, weeping whippoorwills
Too much going 'round that you can't hide
CHORUS:
Look out for the blind owl
You can only find that you were wrong
No one else around me ever loved me like you do
So I'll be strong
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
CHORUS
Days, plays, interviewer's maze
Play the role, sell your soul
Becoming to yourself
A hero who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie
[wah-wah guitar solo (Pete Ham)].

Give It Up lyrics - badfinger
Live in hope of love and wait to die
Sadness all around us makes for crying
Feelings that once meant so much
Are left to dry and turn to dust, and ashes
We learn to wheel and deal and say goodbye
Madness all around us makes for dyin'
Young deceivers soon turn old
Are left to die amongst their gold and cashes
Give it up
Or we'll end on the rocks (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up, give yourself time
Give it up, your saviour's in shock (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
We drive a million miles to see the sun
Hoping we are not too late for saving
The Lord will smile on you today
Give you love that you can trade
For matches, TVs, and movie stars
And driving cars is catching
Give it up
Or we'll end on the rocks (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up, give yourself time (give it up)
Give it up, your saviour's in shock (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]:
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)

Constitution lyrics - badfinger
I could sing the blues any way I choose, if I wanted
I could turn you around, I could bring you down, if I wanted
But it's not my constitution, it's not my way of life
You know, I'm just a lover for my wife
I could join a race, I could paint my face, if I wanted
I could be a queen, but it's not my scene 'cause I've tried it
And it's not my constitution, it's not my way of life
You know, I'm just a lover for my wife
Hey, yea

Baby Blue lyrics - badfinger
Guess I got what I deserved
Kept you waiting there too long, my love
All that time without a word
Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget or I'd regret
The special love I had for you, my baby blue
All the days became so long
Did you really think, I'd do you wrong?
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize that I would know
I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue
What can I do, what can I say
Except I want you by my side
How can I show you, show me the way
Don't you know the times I've tried?
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
Guess that's all I have to say
Except the feeling just grows stronger every day
Just one thing before I go
Take good care, baby, let me know, let it grow
The special love you have for me, my Dixie, dear.
Kept you waiting there too long, my love
All that time without a word
Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget or I'd regret
The special love I had for you, my baby blue
All the days became so long
Did you really think, I'd do you wrong?
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize that I would know
I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue
What can I do, what can I say
Except I want you by my side
How can I show you, show me the way

Name Of The Game lyrics - badfinger
I saw the railway master and I looked him in the eye
I said, "Would you go much faster if you thought that you would die?"
He said, "Not me sir, I could not care, in fact, I would not try.
For protest would not take me far.
It's different, me not being a star."
I lock my feelings in a jar until another day
Oh, comfort me, dear brother, won't you tell me what you know?
For somewhere in this painful world is a place where I can go
Oh, long awaiting mother, is it time to make a show?
And take your babies to your breast
No, we never passed the test
And all our sins should be confessed before we carry on
CHORUS:
Oh, don't refuse me
If you choose me, you'll follow my shame
No, don't confuse me
For I know it's the name of the game
I got up off my pillow and I looked up at the sun
I said, "You can see quite clearly, now, the things that we have done
We burned your sacred willow and our battles we have won.
But did we get so very far?
It's different, me not being a star."
I lock my feelings in a jar until we go away
CHORUS 2 times.
I said, "Would you go much faster if you thought that you would die?"
He said, "Not me sir, I could not care, in fact, I would not try.

I lock my feelings in a jar until another day

Day After Day lyrics - badfinger
I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
[duel slide guitar solo (Pete Ham and George Harrison)]
Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon

Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you.
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon

Timeless lyrics - badfinger
We are yesterday, we are today
We are tomorrow, we are timeless
We are then, we are now
We are the future, we are timeless
We are the sorrow, we are the pain
We are the sunshine, we are rain
We are love, we are hate
We are the future, we are timeless
Whatever we see, wherever we go
Shows perfectly clear how little we know
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
How can we look and not even see?
How can we live and not even be free?
We are the comfort, we are the shame
We are forgiveness, we are blame
We are kind, we are kill
Are we the future?
Are we timeless (are we timeless, are we)?
Are we timeless (are we timeless, are we)?
Are we timeless (are we timeless, are we)?

I Can't Take It lyrics - badfinger
Just give me five so I can step outside
Or even give me three and I'll be satisfied
But if you give me none at all
You're gonna see me climb that wall
And you know you're gonna see me fall
I can't take it
Take all the nights that a man can give
And make all the days so a man can live
But if you take up every hour
You're gonna take up all my power
And you know you're gonna turn me sour
I can't take it, no
CHORUS:
I can't take it, wooo
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it, wooo
Place a lock upon my door
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
Give me all your money in your dark, brown vase
You've even got my soul in your dark, brown case
But baby, can't you see outside?
You know you've got my fingers tied
And you know you're gonna hurt my pride
I can't take it, no
CHORUS 4 times
I can't take it, wooo
I can't take it...
Or even give me three and I'll be satisfied
But if you give me none at all
You're gonna see me climb that wall
And you know you're gonna see me fall
I can't take it
Take all the nights that a man can give
And make all the days so a man can live
But if you take up every hour
You're gonna take up all my power
And you know you're gonna turn me sour
I can't take it, no
CHORUS:
I can't take it, wooo
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it, wooo
Place a lock upon my door

Give me all your money in your dark, brown vase
You've even got my soul in your dark, brown case
But baby, can't you see outside?
You know you've got my fingers tied
And you know you're gonna hurt my pride
I can't take it, no
CHORUS 4 times
I can't take it, wooo
I can't take it...

Rock 'N' Roll Contract lyrics - badfinger
Know you can Know you can
Know you can Know you can
Wrapped up in a Rock 'N' Roll Contract
Lots of things I had to sign at the time
Man told me not to worry 'bout the business
Just keep on poppin' those hits
Know you can Know you can
Know you can Know you can
Sat down in my pyramid mansion
Old Martin seems to know all the chords
Tired of beggin', I can make it without them
Played the blues so I wouldnt get bored
You made me your slave. Whatever God gave me
You took to the grave, now its gone
I gave you my heart. Whatever God gave me
You took to the grave, now its gone
Yeah, its gone
Gone
Smokin', chokin', drinkin', sinkin', falling over
Cokin', flyin', speedin', dyin', roll me over

Three Time Loser lyrics - badfinger
It's a terrible thing to lose
All the time you've had and never used
Sometimes you wanna hide
And sometimes you wanna light the fuse
And you know just where you stand
But it's hard to make the plan
When all that you do is wrong
And no one to find a song to play
[Chorus:]
Three time loser
White line user
Mr. Groover
Where's it end?
And there's nothing that you can say
You can make it most any day
And if you try very hard
You know you might find a yard or two
[Chorus]
[keyboard solo (Tony Kaye)]
Sometimes you wanna hide
Sometimes you wanna light the fuse

Three time loser
White line user (ultimate user)
Three time loser (big street cruiser)
White line user (go little Hoover)
Three time loser (Mr. Humor)
White line user (ooh, city slicker)

Three time loser (you're a married man)
White line user (money money money money money money money broker)

Sometimes you wanna hide
And sometimes you wanna light the fuse
And you know just where you stand
But it's hard to make the plan
When all that you do is wrong
And no one to find a song to play
[Chorus:]
Three time loser
White line user
Mr. Groover
Where's it end?
And there's nothing that you can say
You can make it most any day
And if you try very hard
You know you might find a yard or two
[Chorus]
[keyboard solo (Tony Kaye)]
Sometimes you wanna hide
Sometimes you wanna light the fuse
Three time loser
White line user
Three time loser
White line user (ultimate user)
Three time loser (big street cruiser)
White line user (go little Hoover)
Three time loser (Mr. Humor)
White line user (ooh, city slicker)
Three time loser (cherry picker)
White line user (Mr. "gives a damn")
Three time loser (you're a married man)
White line user (money money money money money money money broker)
Three Time Loser...
Too Hung Up On You lyrics - badfinger
Baby I want you by my side to be forever
Without you I can never face the stormy weather

You're the only one I need (Crocadillo)
See the only woman to please, Crocadillo

Get everything about her

No More lyrics - badfinger
Drunken days drunken nights
Someone please turn out the light
I can't face the mirror anymore
Move along magics gone, someone else can sing my song,
I can't lift my head up of the floor
N-n-n-n-n- no no no no more
N-n-n-n-n- no no no no more
N-n-n-n-n- no no no no no no no no more
Empty days sleepless nights
Have I lost the will to fight
Someone help me back onto the road
Sinking fast time has past I can't make the story last
Every little note is coming hard
N-n-n-n-n- no no no no more
N-n-n-n-n- no no no no more
N-n-n-n-n- no no no no no no no no more
There's no use in trying
When you only end up crying
It's a fools game
It's no longer funny when youre doing it for money
It's a shame shame
no no no more no more
No more
N-n-n-n-n- no no no no more
N-n-n-n-n- no no no no more

Look Out California lyrics - badfinger
Bags are packed, jumpin' on a jet today
Feel so good 'cause I'm gettin' back to the U.S.A.
Temperature's risin', I'm flyin' back to the sun
Hangin' around old London town
Ain't good for too, too long
CHORUS:
Look out California, I gotta warn ya
Look out solar city
You're lookin' pretty to me, yeah, to me
Feel so good, gettin' back to Rock 'N' Roll
So long since it felt so right to my very soul

Kickin' around old L.A. town
Too much, too much good fun

Got a good deal from a prominent record man
We're tryin' our hardest just to follow the plan

Lost Inside Your Love lyrics - badfinger
What can I say, what can I do?
All of my life I've been a victim of you
What can I say or do?
Lost inside your love
What can it be, who can I see?
All of your life you've been the winner in me
What can I say or do?
Lost inside your love
Is it any wonder there's no reason why?
Is it all because I left it open wide for your pride
To leave me one more time
Are you leaving me one more time?

What can I say, what can I do?
All of my life I've been a winner with you
What can I say or do?
Lost inside your love
Lost inside your love
Lost inside your love.

Love Is Gonna Come At Last lyrics - badfinger
There are times when it feels so hard just to carry on
There are times when the days all seem to be so long
Then this feeling inside of me sets me free from the past
And I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last
Yes, I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last
Been alone in a crowded room, watched it all go on
I've had so many sleepless nights when I dreamed alone
Then a break in the clouds above feels like love shinin' down
And I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come around
Yes, I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come around
I live for tomorrow, what it may bring
I live through the sorrow
Live in my dreams, in my dreams
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
This feeling inside of me sets me free from the past
And someday I'll find a way to make my dreams come true
'Cause I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last
Yes, I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last
Yes, I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last
Yes, I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last
Yes, I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last.
There are times when the days all seem to be so long
Then this feeling inside of me sets me free from the past
And I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last
Yes, I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last
Been alone in a crowded room, watched it all go on
I've had so many sleepless nights when I dreamed alone
Then a break in the clouds above feels like love shinin' down
And I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come around
Yes, I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come around
I live for tomorrow, what it may bring
I live through the sorrow
Live in my dreams, in my dreams
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
This feeling inside of me sets me free from the past
And someday I'll find a way to make my dreams come true
'Cause I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last
Yes, I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last
Yes, I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last
Yes, I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last
Yes, I know that when I'm ready, love is gonna come at last.
Sympathy lyrics - badfinger
If you ever wanna cry
If you ever wanna feel blue
I'll be here with some sympathy for you
If you're ever feelin' lonely
If you're ever feelin' down
I'll be here, all you gotta do is come around
If you're lookin' for some sympathy
Baby, you just run to me
If you need a little sympathy
Baby, you just run to me
If you need a little time
And there's no one there to help you through

If somebody lets you down to the ground
You can count on me
And if you don't know where to go
So alone, you can run to me

The Winner lyrics - badfinger
You can drive a car, be a movie star
Any day of the week
You don't have to shout or walk about
You just have to speak
Say baby, you just have to speak
You can fly a plane, maybe go insane
Any day that you like
Everyone'll say, "Have you been away?"
Everything is alright
Say baby, everything is alright
CHORUS:
Here he come, that's a winner
Here he come, take a look, write a book
You can eat him up for dinner, yeah
You can run around over stony ground
Or lay in the sand
You don't have to show what you really know
We all understand
Say baby, we all understand

The Dreamer lyrics - badfinger
There was a young man
Watched his life unfold each day
He only wanted to play
He only needed a ray
And then he found out
One rainy afternoon, he'd lost
All he'd earned and was tossed
In the rivers he'd crossed
CHORUS:
And there he came across the dreamer
Who told him life was but a dream
And all that you can see is all that you can be
There was a young love destined to get old someday
Didn't happen that way
They never learned how to say
We've got a long, long time between us
We've got a long, long way to go
But I believe if we let it, our love will grow
[guitar solo (Joe Tansin)]
CHORUS
We've got a long, long time between us
We've got a long, long way to go
We've got a long, long time between us
We've got a long, long way to go
We've got a long, long time between us
We've got a long, long, long way to go
Long way to go
(Long, long time between us)
And I believe if we let it, our love will grow
Our love will grow
Our love will grow.
Watched his life unfold each day
He only wanted to play
He only needed a ray
And then he found out
One rainy afternoon, he'd lost
All he'd earned and was tossed
In the rivers he'd crossed

Come Down Hard lyrics - badfinger
I heard a lover lie, saw a lady cry her heart out
He was on his way, she would have to play the part out
And though he told her what she did was right
He only loved her when the moon was bright
And he was leavin'
She didn't understand, it didn't go the way she planned it
She thought the ties were strong
Then it all went wrong, she landed
She come down hard
[guitar solo (Joe Tansin)]
She was noticing just lately
She had seen a thing or two
Things would get a little shaky
And there was nothin' she could do
She go, "boo hoo hoo"
She looked around the place and there was no one there to save her, oh no
And now her eyes would burn
He would not return, she knew it
And though he told her what she did was right
He only loved her when the moon was bright
And he was leavin'
She come down hard
Leavin'
Leavin' (come down hard)
Leavin' (come down hard)
Leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin'...
He was on his way, she would have to play the part out
And though he told her what she did was right
He only loved her when the moon was bright

She thought the ties were strong
Then it all went wrong, she landed

Sail Away lyrics - badfinger
Many's the time I've been troubled in mind
And I've not known where to go
Deeper and darker, no way to believe
Lying and dying, no way to conceive
Making believe it's not true
What in the world can you do?
Sail away, give it all to another day
Sail away, throw it over your shoulder
You may find in your heart
That you've made a new start with a future not so bad
Then you can show all the feelings you know
With a will to carry on, carry on, carry on
Then you can know all the feelings you show
And you'll know just where to go
Deeper and darker's no way to believe
Lying and dying's no way to conceive
Making believe it's not true
What in the world can you do?
Sail away, give it all to another day
Sail away, throw it over your shoulder
You may...
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on.
And I've not known where to go
Deeper and darker, no way to believe
Lying and dying, no way to conceive
Making believe it's not true
What in the world can you do?
Sail away, give it all to another day
Sail away, throw it over your shoulder
You may find in your heart
That you've made a new start with a future not so bad
Then you can show all the feelings you know
With a will to carry on, carry on, carry on
Then you can know all the feelings you show
And you'll know just where to go
Deeper and darker's no way to believe
Lying and dying's no way to conceive
Making believe it's not true
What in the world can you do?
Sail away, give it all to another day
Sail away, throw it over your shoulder
You may...
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on.

Send Me Your Love lyrics - badfinger
There's so much I wanna say to you, but love your so far away
And I don't mind telling you that I miss you more each day
Well I can hide the sadness. You can't see it in my eyes
And I just wish I could be with you tonight
So send me your love, and set this poor heart free
You know the sun won't shine till you come back to me
Well I can't keep pretending. You know I can't go on this way
I've never known a hurt so bad. And it just won't go away
I'm travelling in these teardrops, and I can't put up a fight
And I just wish I could hold you close tonight
So send me your love, or set this poor heart free
You know the sun won't shine till you come back to me
So send me your love, or set this poor heart free
You know the sun won't shine till you come back to me
The sun won't shine till you come back to me.
Send me your love
Send me your love
The sun won't shime till you come back to me
And I don't mind telling you that I miss you more each day
Well I can hide the sadness. You can't see it in my eyes
And I just wish I could be with you tonight
So send me your love, and set this poor heart free
You know the sun won't shine till you come back to me
Well I can't keep pretending. You know I can't go on this way
I've never known a hurt so bad. And it just won't go away
I'm travelling in these teardrops, and I can't put up a fight
And I just wish I could hold you close tonight
So send me your love, or set this poor heart free
You know the sun won't shine till you come back to me
So send me your love, or set this poor heart free
You know the sun won't shine till you come back to me
The sun won't shine till you come back to me.
Send me your love
Send me your love
The sun won't shime till you come back to me
Love Can't Hide lyrics - badfinger
There's a magic in the air
Reach into my soul
Something down inside
Love can't hide
There's a charge come over me
Can never change my mind again
I was lookin' to be free
Love's the key
And in my dreams, she's with me every night
Everything I do for her helps me see right
[piano & guitar solo]
And in my dreams, she's with me every night
Everything I do for her helps me see right
There's a magic in the air
Cast a spell on me
Now, there's nothing to decide
Love can't hide
Love can't hide
Love can't hide.
Reach into my soul
Something down inside
Love can't hide
There's a charge come over me
Can never change my mind again
I was lookin' to be free
Love's the key
And in my dreams, she's with me every night
Everything I do for her helps me see right
[piano & guitar solo]
And in my dreams, she's with me every night
Everything I do for her helps me see right
There's a magic in the air
Cast a spell on me
Now, there's nothing to decide
Love can't hide
Love can't hide
Love can't hide.
Can You Feel The Rain lyrics - badfinger
I hear the thunder, I know the rain is falling far. And the river is rising.
Watch these dark clouds come peeking off slow, "above the horizon"
Won't somebody rescue me, from the thunder and the lightning
Baby can you feel it, better believe it. Can you feel the rain fall down
Baby can you feel it ( Baby can you feel it )
Better believe it. Can you feel it the rain fall down
I'm off the tracks like a runaway train. Someone led me off of this line
And I heard Saint Peter calling my name. I got nowhere to hide
"Blinded and numb" and I don't know, how to put out a fire. Yeah
Won't somebody rescue me, from the thunder and the lightning
Baby can you feel it, better believe it. Can you feel the rain fall down
Baby can you feel it ( Baby can you feel it )
Better believe it. Can you feel it the rain fall down
Won't somebody rescue me, from the thunder and the lightning
Baby can you feel it, better believe it. Can you feel the rain fall down
Baby can you feel it ( Baby can you feel it )
Better believe it. Can you feel it the rain fall down
Won't somebody rescue me, from the thunder and the lightning
Baby can you feel it, better believe it. Can you feel the rain fall down
Baby can you feel it ( Baby can you feel it )
Better believe it. Can you feel it the rain fall down
Watch these dark clouds come peeking off slow, "above the horizon"
Won't somebody rescue me, from the thunder and the lightning
Baby can you feel it, better believe it. Can you feel the rain fall down
Baby can you feel it ( Baby can you feel it )
Better believe it. Can you feel it the rain fall down
I'm off the tracks like a runaway train. Someone led me off of this line
And I heard Saint Peter calling my name. I got nowhere to hide
"Blinded and numb" and I don't know, how to put out a fire. Yeah
Won't somebody rescue me, from the thunder and the lightning
Baby can you feel it, better believe it. Can you feel the rain fall down
Baby can you feel it ( Baby can you feel it )
Better believe it. Can you feel it the rain fall down
Won't somebody rescue me, from the thunder and the lightning
Baby can you feel it, better believe it. Can you feel the rain fall down
Baby can you feel it ( Baby can you feel it )
Better believe it. Can you feel it the rain fall down
Won't somebody rescue me, from the thunder and the lightning
Baby can you feel it, better believe it. Can you feel the rain fall down
Baby can you feel it ( Baby can you feel it )
Better believe it. Can you feel it the rain fall down
Just A Chance lyrics - badfinger
Doesn't matter what you think I do
All I wanna do is see it through
You may say it's not a great romance
But all I want from you is just a chance to try
Any way at all
Don't you think we know it has to hurt
Are minds that small?
I won't tell you if it's short or long
All I know is that it don't feel wrong
You may say it's not a great romance
But all we want from you is just a chance to try
Any way we can
Don't you think we know it has to hurt
Won't you understand?
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
Doesn't matter what you think I do
All I wanna do is see it through
You may say it's not a great romance
But all I want from you is just a chance to try
Any way we can
Don't you think we know it has to hurt
Won't you understand?
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh.
All I wanna do is see it through

Your So Fine lyrics - badfinger
Let me see your face
Let me see you smile
None can measure your love in miles
Only you can comfort me
You're so fine
You can take me up
You can bring me down
Put my feet back on the ground
Since you got a hold on me, I'm alive
I'm alive
Builds around me fences
Put my back against the wall
You broke into my world and made me crawl
Broken my defenses
Made me want you more and more
Came into my life
I asked for more, more and more
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Can't get enough
Enough of your love
I've learned my lesson well
Now it's good enough
Maybe someday the world will come
I'm alive
I'm alive
Builds around me fences
Put my back against the wall
You broke into my world and made me crawl
Broken my defenses
Made me want you more and more
You came into my life
I asked for more, more and more.
Let me see you smile
None can measure your love in miles
Only you can comfort me
You're so fine
You can take me up
You can bring me down
Put my feet back on the ground
Since you got a hold on me, I'm alive
I'm alive
Builds around me fences
Put my back against the wall
You broke into my world and made me crawl
Broken my defenses
Made me want you more and more
Came into my life
I asked for more, more and more
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Can't get enough
Enough of your love
I've learned my lesson well
Now it's good enough
Maybe someday the world will come
I'm alive
I'm alive
Builds around me fences
Put my back against the wall
You broke into my world and made me crawl
Broken my defenses
Made me want you more and more
You came into my life
I asked for more, more and more.
Got To Get Out Of Here lyrics - badfinger
Gotta get outta here
A man who feels the space begins to need the wall
Gotta be others near
Maybe someone fills the space behind the fault
Maybe not at all
Maybe not at all
Baby, a man gets wise
To running 'round in circles
He ain't got no choice
Only the fool survives
Running 'round in circles
Trying to make some noise
Got no choice
He's got no choice
Well, I learned to live without face
Learned to feed my soul
I can learn the chords to right place
Hang onto my own
[keyboard solo]
I gotta find a place
See and dream
Who knows which way the dice will fall
I got a mind to face
But maybe I can find my place behind the wall
Maybe not at all
Maybe not at all
Well, I gotta get out of here
Gotta be others near
I gotta find a place
Somewhere without a race
I gotta know it all
Don't wanna be alone
Somewhere I wanna be
Something I really see
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here.
A man who feels the space begins to need the wall
Gotta be others near
Maybe someone fills the space behind the fault
Maybe not at all
Maybe not at all
Baby, a man gets wise
To running 'round in circles
He ain't got no choice
Only the fool survives
Running 'round in circles
Trying to make some noise
Got no choice
He's got no choice
Well, I learned to live without face
Learned to feed my soul
I can learn the chords to right place
Hang onto my own
[keyboard solo]
I gotta find a place
See and dream
Who knows which way the dice will fall
I got a mind to face
But maybe I can find my place behind the wall
Maybe not at all
Maybe not at all
Well, I gotta get out of here
Gotta be others near
I gotta find a place
Somewhere without a race
I gotta know it all
Don't wanna be alone
Somewhere I wanna be
Something I really see
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here.
Know One Knows lyrics - badfinger
No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When I see you glow
No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When you let it show
Keep it coming, keep it long
Caress me with your body song
Reach it higher with each sigh
Knowing soon that we will fly
No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When I see you glow
No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When you let it flow
Keep it moving, keep it bright
And guide me with your body light
Come in closer with each sigh
Knowing soon that we will fly
[Mika's Japanese cooing over guitar solo (Pete Ham):
No one knows
No one knows
No one knows
No one knows how good I feel
When you let it show
No one knows
No one knows how good I feel
When you let it flow.]
Keep on feeling, keep it whole
And lead me with your body soul
Take me higher with each sigh
Knowing you can make me fly
No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When I see you glow.
No one knows it

Dennis lyrics - badfinger
Deeper waters flowed
Recently it showed
Tryin' to cover your head
Tryin' to frighten you
Tryin' to fight with you
Really gettin' you scared
But don't you worry, you love of mine
Pretty soon it will all be fine
And we'll just go on
Higher hills to climb
Climbin' all the time
Tryin' to find a way through
Fallin' down again, on the ground again
Wonderin' what you can do
But don't you worry, you love of ours
They look like weeds, but they're really flowers
And they'll soon be gone
You won't stand up, you won't sit down
Your head's a mile above the ground
And though we tend to scold you now
I couldn't start to tell you how
We couldn't start to tell you how
There's just no way to say how much we love you
You, little Dennis, you
You're full of new surprise
Love you
You, little Dennis with the rascal in your eyes
You're a prize
It could be bad, it could be worse
You're taking out your mother's purse
And though you cried when you got told
The money there was for the old
To keep their dogs from getting cold
The only thing that can't be sold is love
You, little Dennis, you
You're full of new surprise
Love you
You, little Dennis with the rascal in your eyes
Will you pick up your toys?
Will you be a good boy?
Will you please, please?
There's a way
There's a way
If you'll play
If you'll stay
There's a way through
There's a way to take away blue
Take away blue
There's a way
There's a way
If you'll play
If you'll stay
There's a way through
There's a way to take away blue
Take away blue
There's a way
There's a way
If you'll play
If you'll stay
There's a way through
There's a way to...
Recently it showed
Tryin' to cover your head
Tryin' to frighten you
Tryin' to fight with you
Really gettin' you scared
But don't you worry, you love of mine
Pretty soon it will all be fine
And we'll just go on
Higher hills to climb
Climbin' all the time
Tryin' to find a way through
Fallin' down again, on the ground again
Wonderin' what you can do
But don't you worry, you love of ours

In The Meantime/Some Other Time lyrics - badfinger
I can remember
Knowing you better some other time (low song)
I can remember
Being in love with a friend of mine
I've seen it before, now
It's always the same
Nothing can change any part
I know what you're doin'
I think it's a shame
I'm gonna have to make a new start
I can remember some other time
I could believe in, love has a reason for holdin' on (hold on)
I can remember being together and feeling strong
But somehow we lost it, drifted apart
It really took a piece of my heart
I've done it before now
It's always the same
I'm gonna have to make a new start
I can remember some other time
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
I've seen it before now
It's always the same
Nothing can change any part
I know what you're doin'
I think it's a shame
I'm gonna have to make a new start
I can remember some other time
I can remember some other time.
Knowing you better some other time (low song)
I can remember
Being in love with a friend of mine
I've seen it before, now
It's always the same
Nothing can change any part
I know what you're doin'
I think it's a shame
I'm gonna have to make a new start
I can remember some other time
I could believe in, love has a reason for holdin' on (hold on)
I can remember being together and feeling strong
But somehow we lost it, drifted apart
It really took a piece of my heart
I've done it before now
It's always the same
I'm gonna have to make a new start
I can remember some other time
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
I've seen it before now
It's always the same
Nothing can change any part
I know what you're doin'
I think it's a shame
I'm gonna have to make a new start

I can remember some other time.
Love Time lyrics - badfinger
Every day I look into your eyes
I see a love that's there
I see myself and stare
Loving you so many different ways
A kind of harmony
Another part of me
Makes it harder now
If it's easy to believe it
It's hard to realize
As easy to believe it
As the love that's in your eyes
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Well if it's easy to believe it
It's hard to realize
As easy to believe it
As the love that's in your eyes
Found amongst the laughter and the tears
Love I had inside
Love I used to hide
Makes it harder now
Harder now.
I see a love that's there
I see myself and stare
Loving you so many different ways
A kind of harmony
Another part of me
Makes it harder now
If it's easy to believe it
It's hard to realize
As easy to believe it
As the love that's in your eyes
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Well if it's easy to believe it
It's hard to realize
As easy to believe it
As the love that's in your eyes
Found amongst the laughter and the tears
Love I had inside
Love I used to hide
Makes it harder now
Harder now.
Kind Of The Load lyrics - badfinger
He's the king of the road
The old man, the child
The joker runnin' wild, makin' it funny
He's of no fixed abode
When he carries the load
He'll do anything he can to make it funny
But he'll never say die
If he's livin' a lie
Pick up his hat and go
If there's reason to cry
He'll just make it a sigh
And wander on down the road
He's a natural friend
With the money to lend
Or whatever it takes to turn you on, too
He's the father, the son
He don't owe anyone
All his debts are all paid
With his confection
Then he'll wander away
With no time in his way
Pick up his hat and go
He'll never say die
If he's livin' a lie
Just wander on down the road
Wander on down the road
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
And he'll wander away
With no time in his way
Pick up his hat and go
He never said die
He was livin' a lie
Just wandered on down the road
Wandered on down the road
Wandered on down the road
Ahhhhh
Mmmmmmmmm
Ahhhhh.
The old man, the child
The joker runnin' wild, makin' it funny
He's of no fixed abode
When he carries the load
He'll do anything he can to make it funny
But he'll never say die
If he's livin' a lie
Pick up his hat and go
If there's reason to cry
He'll just make it a sigh
And wander on down the road
He's a natural friend
With the money to lend
Or whatever it takes to turn you on, too
He's the father, the son

And he'll wander away
With no time in his way

He was livin' a lie
Just wandered on down the road
Wandered on down the road
Wandered on down the road
Ahhhhh
Mmmmmmmmm
Ahhhhh.
Meanwhile Back At The Ranch lyrics - badfinger
Why do you think me so hard to get?
Is there something they might regret?
Is it better to just forget, just forget?
If they only would let us know
Then we'd know just how far to go
But instead they just tell us "no", tell us "no"
You, you always played the fool (you always played the fool)
You always break the rule
At every single school you know (you always break the rule)
It always pulled you down
They could always pull you down
You, you never stayed the same (you never stayed the same)
And now you take the blame
For all the little games they play (you always take the blame)
And let it bring you down
Why'd you let it bring you down?

Should I Smoke lyrics - badfinger
Should I smoke or should I die?
Somebody must tell me why
Should I laugh, should I cry
Won't somebody help me?
Don't know what to say
You're makin' me better
I've learned how to pray
Change in the weather today
Don't know what to do
Just makes it hard to lose
The day passes by
Nobody listens
And nobody cries
For anyone's mission today
Don't know what to do
Just makes it hard to choose
Should I smoke or should I die?
Somebody must tell me why
Should I laugh, should I cry
Won't somebody help me?
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)].
Somebody must tell me why

Somebody must tell me why
Should I laugh, should I cry
Won't somebody help me?

I Miss You lyrics - badfinger
Though you've been gone for just a week
It makes me feel so sad to speak
Lady come back
I miss you
And though before I didn't cry
Now my eyes are never dry
And a thousand jesters couldn't make me smile
I miss you
I miss you
And now I know that I was wrong
But it's too late, for now you've gone
Lady come back
I miss you
And though our times were good and bad
Now you're gone, I'm always sad
And a thousand jesters couldn't make me smile
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you.
It makes me feel so sad to speak
Lady come back
I miss you
And though before I didn't cry
Now my eyes are never dry
And a thousand jesters couldn't make me smile
I miss you
I miss you
And now I know that I was wrong
But it's too late, for now you've gone
Lady come back
I miss you
And though our times were good and bad
Now you're gone, I'm always sad
And a thousand jesters couldn't make me smile
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you.
Shine On lyrics - badfinger
Shine on, shine on me
All I know is now I want you close to me
I can't really tell you what the future's gonna be
Just for now, little lady, shine on me
Lean on, lean on me
Something tells me that's the way it's gotta be
I can't really show you what the future's gonna be
Just for now, little lady, lean on me
To fall in love with love was maybe, just a fantasy
And promises we made could be insane
Don't think of tomorrow, yesterday is past
And if you could, you know we could make it last
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
Drink on, drink on me
Slip and slide so I'll forget reality
I can't really say if I'll come on and get so free
Just for now, little lady, drink on me
To fall in love with love was maybe, just a fantasy
And promises we made could be insane
Don't think of tomorrow, yesterday is past
And if you could, you know we could make it last
Shine on, shine on me
All I know is now I want you close to me
I can't really tell you what the future's gonna be
Just for now, little lady, shine on me
Just for now, little lady, shine on me
Just for now, little lady, shine on me.
All I know is now I want you close to me
I can't really tell you what the future's gonna be
Just for now, little lady, shine on me
Lean on, lean on me
Something tells me that's the way it's gotta be
I can't really show you what the future's gonna be
Just for now, little lady, lean on me
To fall in love with love was maybe, just a fantasy
And promises we made could be insane

All I know is now I want you close to me
I can't really tell you what the future's gonna be
Just for now, little lady, shine on me
Just for now, little lady, shine on me
Just for now, little lady, shine on me.
Love Is Easy lyrics - badfinger
All I needed was your smile
Sayin' it alright, I don't mind
All I wanted was my chance
Baby, I could learn to dance
Well, love is easy, love is strange
Different people, different games
People, people, love a lot
Feel the love inside your heart
Love is easy, easy
When you've opened up your heart
Love is easy, easy
When you know you'll never part
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Well, love is easy, love is strange
Different people, different games
People, people, love a lot
Feel the love inside your heart
Love is, love is easy, said easy
When you've opened up your heart
Easy, easy
When you know you'll never part
I said easy, c'mon easy
When you've opened up your heart
Yeah easy, easy
When you know you'll never part
Said easy, easy
When you know you're not alone
Easy, easy

Sayin' it alright, I don't mind

When you know you'll never part
Said easy, easy
When you know you're not alone
Easy, easy
[scat singing].
Song For A Lost Friend lyrics - badfinger
You had a dream
You know you dreamt so much
You had a dream
You know it meant so much
You're just a victim of the circumstance
I mean, what else could you do?
You saw your dream and you just took a chance
And for a while your dream came true
What could you do?
You had a goal
You know you aimed so high
You had soul
You knew you had to try
You're just a victim of the time of day
No matter what you say or do
You saw your dream and you just took a play
And for a while your dream came true
What could you do?
What could you do?
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
You're just a victim of the circumstance
I mean, what else could you do?
You saw your dream and you just took a chance
And for a while your dream came true
What could you do?
What could you do?
What could you do?
What could you do?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
You know you dreamt so much
You had a dream
You know it meant so much
You're just a victim of the circumstance
I mean, what else could you do?
You saw your dream and you just took a chance
And for a while your dream came true
What could you do?
You had a goal
You know you aimed so high
You had soul
You knew you had to try
You're just a victim of the time of day
No matter what you say or do
You saw your dream and you just took a play
And for a while your dream came true
What could you do?
What could you do?
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
You're just a victim of the circumstance
I mean, what else could you do?
You saw your dream and you just took a chance
And for a while your dream came true
What could you do?
What could you do?
What could you do?
What could you do?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Why Don't We Talk? lyrics - badfinger
(Why don't we talk?)
Why don't we talk about it? (Why don't we talk?)
Why don't we talk about it?
(Why don't we, why don't we, why don't we?)
If you knew the way it feels
I know you'd try a little harder
We've been together now for too long to part
Why don't we try (Why don't we try?)
Why don't we try (Why don't we try?)
Why don't we try (Why don't we, why don't we try?)
Just the one more time
If you could understand the way it is
Then we could talk about the difference between us
But who knows, baby, we might still agree
Why don't we talk about it? (Why don't we talk?)
Why don't we talk about it? (Why not eat pork?)
Why don't we talk about it? (Why don't we, why don't we talk?)
Just the one more time
[guitar solo (Pete Ham and Joey Molland)]
Who knows, baby, we might still agree
Why don't we talk about it? (Why don't we talk?)
Why don't we talk about it? (Why don't we talk?)
Why don't we talk about it?
(Why don't we, why don't we, why don't we talk?)
(Why don't we talk?)
(Why don't we, why don't we, why don't we talk?).
Why don't we talk about it? (Why don't we talk?)
Why don't we talk about it?
(Why don't we, why don't we, why don't we?)
If you knew the way it feels
I know you'd try a little harder
We've been together now for too long to part
Why don't we try (Why don't we try?)
Why don't we try (Why don't we try?)
Why don't we try (Why don't we, why don't we try?)

When I love you, do you feel it?
I know it makes you happy when I say "alright"

When I hold you, we're an island
You know it makes me happy when you say "alright"
When I hold you, we're an island

Matted Spam lyrics - badfinger
I feel a change comin' on
A frame of mind that's held me down for too long
Tried to imprison my soul
Locked me outside of my own Rock 'N' Roll
Can you feel it?
Oh yeah
Can you feel the change?
It's coming
Feel it, oh yeah
Feel the change, it's coming my way, yeah
I see a light from a night
A distant star, but it's shining so bright
Guiding me out of myself
This new found love has got me under its spell
Can you see it?
Oh yeah
Can you see the light?
It's coming
Can you see it?
Oh yeah
Can you see the light?
It's coming today
For years and years, I've waited so long
I almost lost control
The days and nights all seemed to be wrong
Without you, little Miss Rock 'N' Roll
You know I tell you no lie
My little lady lift me up to the sky
She put the stomp on my blues
She blow the dust off my old blue suede shoes
Feel it, oh yeah
Can you feel the change?
It's coming
Can you feel it?
Yeah
Can you feel the change?
It's coming my way, yeah
[sax solo]
VERSE 1
Can you feel it?

Can you feel it?
Can't feel it
Can you feel the light?
Can you see the light?
Can you see the light?
Can you see the light?
A frame of mind that's held me down for too long
Tried to imprison my soul
Locked me outside of my own Rock 'N' Roll
Can you feel it?
Oh yeah
Can you feel the change?
It's coming
Feel it, oh yeah
Feel the change, it's coming my way, yeah
I see a light from a night

Where Do We Go From Here? lyrics - badfinger
Someone gives you their heart
But you still throw it all away
Knowing the past is a part
Part of what you are today
We all know you had your troubles
We all know you had your days
What is love?
You can throw it all away
With the helplessness of your pride
Telling yourself you're a loser
Like someone winning who's not
Telling yourself you're a loser
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Someone showed you the way
That you'll be ready to see
That the game had been played
Losers had lost and the winners were free
We all know you have your troubles
We all know you have your ways
What is love?
You can throw it all away
With the helplessness of your pride
Telling yourself you're a loser
Like someone winning who's not
Telling yourself you're a loser
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
[steel drum solo]
We all know you have your troubles
We all know you have your days
What is love?
You can throw it all away
With the helplessness of your pride
Telling yourself you're a loser
Like someone winning who's not
Telling yourself you're a loser
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
But you still throw it all away
Knowing the past is a part
Part of what you are today
We all know you had your troubles
We all know you had your days
What is love?
You can throw it all away
With the helplessness of your pride
Telling yourself you're a loser
Like someone winning who's not
Telling yourself you're a loser
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Someone showed you the way
That you'll be ready to see

My Heart Goes Out lyrics - badfinger
I wanna tell you how much I need you now
I wanna show you what love can do
Can you take me like I am?
Loving you now can be sad
I can remember times we have had
And for you now, my heart goes out, once again
You turn me down, I wonder why
You turn away with sunken eyes
I see nothing but the best
I imagine all the rest coming true
I wanna touch you, I wanna be with you now
I wanna show you what love can do
I can take you like a man
Loving you now can be sad
I can remember times we have had
But for you now, my heart goes out, once again
You turn me down, I wonder why
You turn away with sunken eyes
I see nothing but the best
I imagine all the rest coming true
For you now, my heart goes out
For you now, my heart goes out, once again.
I wanna show you what love can do
Can you take me like I am?
Loving you now can be sad
I can remember times we have had
And for you now, my heart goes out, once again
You turn me down, I wonder why
You turn away with sunken eyes
I see nothing but the best
I imagine all the rest coming true
I wanna touch you, I wanna be with you now
I wanna show you what love can do
I can take you like a man
Loving you now can be sad
I can remember times we have had
But for you now, my heart goes out, once again
You turn me down, I wonder why
You turn away with sunken eyes
I see nothing but the best
I imagine all the rest coming true
For you now, my heart goes out
For you now, my heart goes out, once again.
Lonely You lyrics - badfinger
When I look into your tearful eyes
I don't know what to do
And though you say that I don't realize
I sympathize with you
Lonely you, only you
Yes I do
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
When I ask you just to be my friend
I want to lend a hand
But if we get too close, it's sure to end
Oh, can't you understand?
Lonely you, only you
Yes it will
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
We really need a friend
And friends are hard to find
And harder still to keep
Lonely you
Lonely me
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Lonely you, only you
Yes it will
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
Lonely you
Lonely you.
I don't know what to do
And though you say that I don't realize
I sympathize with you
Lonely you, only you
Yes I do
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
When I ask you just to be my friend
I want to lend a hand
But if we get too close, it's sure to end
Oh, can't you understand?
Lonely you, only you
Yes it will
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
We really need a friend
And friends are hard to find
And harder still to keep
Lonely you
Lonely me
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Lonely you, only you
Yes it will
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
Lonely you
Lonely you.
Give It Up lyrics - badfinger
Live in hope of love and wait to die
Sadness all around us makes for crying
Feelings that once meant so much
Are left to dry and turn to dust, and ashes
We learn to wheel and deal and say goodbye
Madness all around us makes for dyin'
Young deceivers soon turn old
Are left to die amongst their gold and cashes
Give it up
Or we'll end on the rocks (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up, give yourself time
Give it up, your saviour's in shock (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
We drive a million miles to see the sun
Hoping we are not too late for saving
The Lord will smile on you today
Give you love that you can trade
For matches, TVs, and movie stars
And driving cars is catching
Give it up
Or we'll end on the rocks (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up, give yourself time (give it up)
Give it up, your saviour's in shock (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
Give it up (give it up)
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]:
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)
(Give it up, give it up, give it up).

Andy Norris lyrics - badfinger
Run out of money
Run outta good
Run outta reasons and misunderstood
Run out of rhythm
Run out of rhyme
Right out of feelings and right out of time
Living in limbo, hanging around
Head on the ceiling and mind in the clouds
Blind is the morning and deaf is the night
Comes without warning and leaves me in fright
Saving all my money, yeah, for the rainy days
I'm packin' up my suitcase, make it pay
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
Run out of patience
And run out of lies
Run out of spaces and nowhere to hide
Living and loving is easy to get
Living is something we haven't tried yet
Yeah, I've been saving all my money, yeah, for the rainy days
Well, I'm packin' up my suitcase, make it pay
Hey

Run outta good

Apple Of My Eye lyrics - badfinger
Oh, I'm sorry, but it's time to move away
Though inside my heart, I really want to stay
Believe the love we have is so sincere
You know, the gift you have will always be

You're the apple of my eye
You're the apple of my heart
But now, the time has come to part

And now, the time has come to walk alone
We were the children, now we've overgrown

Icicles lyrics - badfinger
Isn't it nice when the rain comes falling
Turns into icicles, melting, mourning
Isn't it good when a friend comes calling 'round?
Isn't it good when you need somebody
People will help you not be lonely
Then you find someone who loves ya, only you
CHORUS:
But never take a love for granted
Give a little in return
Try to be understanding, live and learn
Isn't it good when the sun comes shining
Giving us warmth, see the children smiling
Just the reflections of love around their heart
Oh-o-o, just a start

The Winner lyrics - badfinger
You can drive a car, be a movie star
Any day of the week
You don't have to shout or walk about

Everyone'll say, "Have you been away?"
Everything is alright
Say baby, everything is alright
CHORUS:
Here he come, that's a winner
Here he come, take a look, write a book
You can eat him up for dinner, yeah

Lies, ties, Mr. Cool disguise
Hang it up, get up on your own
Pill driven skills, weeping whippoorwills
Too much going 'round that you can't hide

You can only find that you were wrong
No one else around me ever loved me like you do
So I'll be strong

Days, plays, interviewer's maze
Play the role, sell your soul
Becoming to yourself
A hero who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie

Hang it up, get up on your own
Pill driven skills, weeping whippoorwills
Too much going 'round that you can't hide
CHORUS:
Look out for the blind owl
You can only find that you were wrong
No one else around me ever loved me like you do
So I'll be strong
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
CHORUS
Days, plays, interviewer's maze
Play the role, sell your soul
Becoming to yourself
A hero who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie
Who must never lie
[wah-wah guitar solo (Pete Ham)].
Constitution lyrics - badfinger
I could sing the blues any way I choose, if I wanted
I could turn you around, I could bring you down, if I wanted
But it's not my constitution, it's not my way of life
You know, I'm just a lover for my wife
I could join a race, I could paint my face, if I wanted
I could be a queen, but it's not my scene 'cause I've tried it
And it's not my constitution, it's not my way of life
You know, I'm just a lover for my wife
Hey, yea
[wah-wah guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

Hey, yea

When I Say lyrics - badfinger
What you are is what I see
What I see is what I want it to be
When I say I love you
What I mean is I really do
CHORUS:
I'm not the one who'll give you everything you need
But what I mean is that I'll try
I can't deny that I've been burning inside
For all the things I'll never see
So come on, be yourself, nothing else
Who could ask for any more
And you know, they all love you
What is more, I really do
CHORUS
[double guitar solo (Pete Ham & Joey Molland)]
So come on, they all love you
What is more, I really do.
What I see is what I want it to be
When I say I love you
What I mean is I really do
CHORUS:
I'm not the one who'll give you everything you need
But what I mean is that I'll try
I can't deny that I've been burning inside
For all the things I'll never see
So come on, be yourself, nothing else
Who could ask for any more
And you know, they all love you
What is more, I really do
CHORUS
[double guitar solo (Pete Ham & Joey Molland)]
So come on, they all love you
What is more, I really do.
