Strange dear, but dear
When I'm close to you, dear
The stars fill the sky
so in lobe whit you am I
Even without you
My arms fold about you
You know darling why
So in love with you am I
In love with the night mysterious
The night when you first were there
In love with my joy delirious
When I knew that you could care
So taunt me, and hurt me
Deceive me, desert me
I'm yours, till I die...
So in love... So in love...
So in love with you, my love... am I...

Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy

Take your time, hurry up
Choice is yours, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend as an old memory.
Memori-a
Memori-a.
Memori-a.

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memory.
Memori-a
Memori-a
Memori-a

And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
I don't have a gun

Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
trying to forget my feelings of love.
Teardrops rolling down on my face,
trying to forget my feelings of love.

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again.

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms.

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
and feelings like I've never have you again in my heart.

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again.

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
and feelings like I've never have you again in my life.

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
wo-o-o, feelings again in my arms.
Feelings...
(repeat & fade)

Love for sale,
Appetising young love for sale.
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled,
Love that's only slightly soiled,
Love for sale.
Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price,
For a trip to paradise?
Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love
in their childish way,
I know every type of love
Better far than they.
If you want the thrill of love,
I've been through the mill of love;
Old love, new love
Every love but true love
Love for sale.

Appetising young love for sale.
If you want to buy my wares.
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale.
Love for sale.

they asked me how i knew
my true love was true
i of course replied
something here inside
cannot be denied
they said someday you'll find
all who love are blind
when your heart's on fire
you must realize
smoke gets in your eyes
so i chaffed them and i gaily laughed
to think they could doubt my love
yet today my love has flown away
i am without my love
now laughing friends deride
tears i cannot hide
so i smile and say
when a lovely flame dies
smoke gets in your eyes

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
I look a trip on a sailling ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning arround
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Akee rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is downs, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Sounds of laughter every where
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Thoug I've been from Maine to Mexico
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
I look a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached
Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm said to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Ovel land and sea
A litte shy and sad fo eye
But very wise was he

And then onde day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest things you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return "

I'm so young and you're so old
This, my darling, I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please stay by me, Diana

Thrills I get when you hold me close
Oh, my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me
Oh, Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please stay with me, Diana

Oh, my darlin', oh, my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me, darling, hold me tight
Squeeze me baby with all your might
Oh, please stay by me,
Baby I love You, Diana
Baby I love You, Diana

Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon there is no sense in trying

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fool's gold mouthpiece, the hollow horn
Plays wasted words, proves to warn
That he not busy being born is busy dying

Temptation's page flies out the door
You follow, find yourself at war
Watch waterfalls of pity roar
You feel to moan but unlike before
You discover that you'd just be one more person crying

So don't fear if you hear
A foreign sound to your ear
It's alright, Ma
I'm only sighing

As some warn victory, some downfall
Private reasons great or small
Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
To make all that should be killed to crawl
While others say don't hate nothing at all, except hatred

Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Make everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far that not much is really sacred

While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the president of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked

And though the rules of the road have been lodged
It's only people's games that you got to dodge
And it's alright, Ma
I can make it

Advertising signs that con
You into thinking you are the one
That can do what's never been done
That can win what's never been won
Meantime, life outside goes on all around you

You lose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Alone you stand with nobody near
When a trembling distant voice unclear
Startles your sleeping ears to hear that somebody thinks they really found you

A question in your nerves is lit
Yet you know there is no answer to fit
To satisfy, insure you not to quit
To keep it in your mind and not forget
That it's not he or she or them or it that you belong to

Although the masters make the rules
For the wise men and the fools
I got nothing, Ma
To live up to

Old lady judges watch people in pairs
Limited in sex, they dare
To push fake morals, insult and stare
While money doesn't talk, it swears
Obscenity, who really cares, propaganda, all is phony

While them that defend what they cannot see
With a killer's pride, security
It blows the minds most bitterly
For them that think death's honesty
Won't fall upon them naturally, life sometimes must get lonely

My eyes collide head-on with stuffed
Graveyards, false gods, I scuff
At pettiness which plays so rough
Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
Kick my legs to crash it off
Say, "Okay, I've had enough, what else can you show me?"

And if my thought-dreams could be seen
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
But it's alright, Ma
It's life, and life only

love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go
you have made my life complete and i love you so
love me tender, love me true. all my dreams fulfill
for, my darlin', i love you and i always will
love me tender, love me long, take me to your heart
for it's there that i belong and we'll never part
love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfill
for, my darlin', i love you and i always will
love me tender, love me dear, tell me you are mine
i'll be yours throug all the years till the end of time
love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfill
for my darlin', i love you and i always will.

My heart is sad and lonely
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wondering why
It's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away ro-mance
Are you pretending?
It looks like the ending
Unless I could have one more chance to prove
my life's a wreck you're making
You know that I'm yours
for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
myself to you body and soul

I Can't believe it...

Just two points of contact
I don't have too much detachment
I just get in there
And I play scrabble
Don't want no pumpy dog "Uh uh"
I'm taken possesion
I'm too blond for y'all
I hit you as I fall

perhaps i had a wicked childhood
perhaps i had a miserable youth
but somewhere in my wicked
miserable past
there must have been a moment of truth
for here you are
standing there
loving me
whether or not you should
so somewhere in my youth or childhood
i must have done something good
nothing comes from nothing
nothing ever could
so somewhere in my youth or childhood
i must have done something good

blue skies
smiling at me
nothing but blue skies
do i see
bluebirds
snging a song
nothing but bluebirds
all day long
never saw the sun shining so bright
never saw things going so right
noticing the days hurryng by
when you're in love, my, how the fly
blue days
all of them gone
nothing but blue skies
from now on
