Lyrical Response

[PastaJoe]

Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm

 

Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
Don't ever leave me alone

 

When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died

 

Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm, believe me darlin'

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Darling, I'm in love with you
And I'll be one with you, one day

Oh, my darling, what a surprise
I get a funny feeling when I look in your eyes
Darling, please come here, let me bend your ear
I want to tell you things just between you and I
I know that you can feel it girl, you cannot deny
I feel it in my soul, let the truth be told

 

Darling, darling, darling, darling
I'm in love with you
And I'll be one with you, one day

 

Oh, my darling, I don't know why
Flowers bloom when we walk on by
The world just seems much better
Whenever we're together

 

Darling, darling, darling, darling
I'm in love with you
And I'll be one with you, one day

 

You walked out of a dream
With a face like peaches in cream, oh, yeah
When I look at you, you know what I mean
We better run 'cause we're making a scene
Darling

 

Oh, my darling, you are the one
Whenever we're together we're having some fun
Every time you're near the world just disappears

 

Darling, darling, darling, darling
I'm in love with you
I'm having fun with you
I'm in love with you
I'm on the run with you
I'm in love with you
And I'll be one with you, one day

[SinceThe70s]

There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoe box of photographs
With sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

[KD in CA]

I'm outta luck, outta love
Got a photograph, picture of
Passion killer, you're too much
You're the only one I wanna touch

 

I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild and free,
So far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy

 

Look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Look what you've done

 

Photograph
I don't want your photograph
I don't need your photograph
All I've got is a photograph

But it's not enough

[SinceThe70s]

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey's head?

[KD in CA]

99 red balloons.
floating in the summer sky.
Panic bells, it's red alert.
There's something here from somewhere else.
The war machine springs to life.
Opens up one eager eye.
Focusing it on the sky.
Where 99 red balloons go by.

[SinceThe70s]

99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer...

[Bills4everNY]

I want to get drunk

I'm gonna make it real clear

I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer

[SinceThe70s]

I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer, it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough, Champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer

[PastaJoe]

There's a tear in my beer
Cause I'm cryin for you, dear
You are on my lonely mind
Into these last nine beers
I have shed a million tears
You are on my lonely mind

 

I'm gonna keep drinkin'
Until I'm petrified
And then maybe, these tears will leave my eyes
There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You are on my lonely mind

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

This morning I woke up alone, found a note standing by the phone
Sayin', "Maybe, maybe I'll be back someday"
I wanted to look for you
You walked in, I didn't know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself

 

Sayin' let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, let her be
No, no, no, no

[Ralonzo]

She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
And many times her eyes fought back the tears
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears
And a sorrow no one hears still rings in midnight silence in her ears

Let her cry for she's a lady
Let her dream for she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

And if by chance I should hold her
Let me hold her for a time
But if allowed just one possession
I would pick her from the garden to be mine

Be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows
And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe
The way she's always paying for a debt she never owes
And a silent wind still blows that only she can hear
And so she goes

Let her cry for she's a lady
Let her dream for she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

 

She's a flower growing wild
She's free

[Gugny]

Cry baby, cry baby, cry baby
Honey, welcome back home

 

I know she told you
Honey, I know she told you that she loved you
Much more than I did
But all I know is that she left you
And you swear that you just don't know why
But you know, honey I'll always
I'll always be around
If you ever want me

Come on and cry, cry baby
Cry baby, cry baby
Oh honey, welcome back home

[Gray Beard]

Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
But Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine

 

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you

 

Playin' my records, keep dancin' all night
But leave me alone for a while
Till Johnny's dancin' with me
I've got no reason to smile

 

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you

 

Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her king
Oh what a birthday surprise
Judy's wearin' his ring

 

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you

[Bills4everNY]

In a borrowed ride

White with power glide

We felt passions burning heat 

With the static glow of the radio

Virgin struggled on the seat

Bathed in salty sweat

We were soaking wet

As the night turned purple blue

She took my heart

And it could happen to you

[PastaJoe]

Well I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon hold on tight
Oh c'mon hold on tight
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

[Gugny]

You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago (Who told me)

 

Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling to tightly
You're gonna lose control

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Baby hold on to me
Whatever will be, will be
The future is ours to see
So baby hold on to me
 

Baby, what's these things
You've been sayin' about me
Behind my back
Is it true you might want a better life
Is it true you think
These things are lies, now
Think about it baby
I'm gonna take you to the top
 

So baby hold on to me
Whatever will be, will be (I say)
The future is ours to see
When you hold on to me
 

Hey baby
You know the future's lookin' brighter
Every mornin' when I get up
Don't be thinkin' 'bout what's not enough, now baby
Just be thinkin' 'bout what we got
Think of all my love, now
I'm gonna give you all I got
 

So baby hold on to me
Whatever will be, will be
The future is ours to see
When you hold on to me
 

Oh-oh, rich man, poor man, now
Really don't mean all that much
Mama's always told you, girl
That money can't buy you love
 

So baby hold on to me
Whatever will be, will be
The future is ours to see
When you hold on to me
 

Yeah, eh
Baby hold on to me
Whatever will be, will be
The future is ours to see
When you hold on to me
 

I say Uh! Hold on
Uh-huh! Hold on to me tighter
I'm never gonna leave ya now
Can't you please believe me now
Never gonna let you go
So hold on to me tighter
 

Baby hold on to me
Whatever will be, will be
The future is ours to see
When you hold on to me
 

Baby hold on to me
(Baby) Whatever will be, will be
(Baby) The future is ours to see

[Gugny]

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

 

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

 

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

 

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

 

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

 

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna run around and desert you
 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

 

And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

 

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day?
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see
Do we simply turn our heads, and look the other way?

 

Well, the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

 

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

 

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car
Tries to run, but he don't get far

 

And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

 

And as her young man dies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
And his mama cries (in the ghetto)
(In the ghetto)
(Aah-aah)
