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
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?

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)
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
CHORUS
Yeah
REPEAT VERSE 1
Gotta find out why (find out why)
Tell me why
Find out why.
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)].
Hang it up, get up on your own

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).

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)]

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.

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?

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
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.
