Альбом Cher

Look at us the picture of happiness
Not so long ago, ah not so very long ago
The pride of all our friends
The perfect couple were we
Is this how it will end?
Just a sad, sad story

CHORUS:
Living in a house divided
With a love that's so one sided
There's no chance at all
The walls have got to fall
Living in a house divided
With a love that's so one sided
There's no chance at all
The walls have got to fall
Tumbling down

Look at us the king and queen of emptiness
Living inside our castle of loneliness
Unable to make amends
Such perfect strangers are we
Is this how it will end?
Just a sad story

Chorus x 3

Here it is again Monday morning
And I really got the blues
But it don't much matter
I got no need to smile
And I don't think I will for quit awhile

[Chorus:]
So it might as well stay Monday from now on
Cause it seems that the only one I ever love is gone
And it just might as well stay Monday from now on

Go away mister sun I can't use you
Brighten someone else's life
Let the darkest hide me and carry off my pain
For there's nothing you can do, nothing you can do,
Nothing you can do to make things change

[Chorus]

Let the darkest hide me and carry off my pain
For there's nothing you can do, nothing you can do,
Nothing you can do to make things change
And it might as well stay Monday from now on
Might as well stay Monday from now on

I've been so many places in my life and time
Sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I got out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now I'm singing this song
Singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darling can you please see through me
Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth
We're only nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And if my words can come together
Listen to the melody
Cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
Singing this song, singing this song for you

Every now and then
I begin again
I push the rock up the mountain
Though I'm learning slow
Now I think I know
How to step aside
When the rock begins to slide

[Chorus:]
Down, down, down
To the bottom of the valley
Down, down, down
But I know it won't crush me anymore

Every now and then
I think I see a friend
I push the rock up the mountain
Ah, getting close to what I never knew
I just step aside
When the rock begins to slide

[Chorus]

Love's not a simple thing
If you're all alone
And finding someone to care
And when you reach him
He's not there
It slides

[Chorus]

Here I go again
Faith has time to lend
I push the rock up the mountain
Hope it won't be just
Another joke on me
But I just step aside
If the rock begins to slide

They say that every thing you do
Turns out all wrong
That you're bound to lose
And you love me too much
Take me along

CHORUS:
Ah baby don't ever try to close a rose
After it blooms to the tuned
Of a spring time day
It won't work any way
'Cos once it knows the sun it grows
And keeps on growing
Knowing it must say goodbye
To the field and the sky

So don't you worry about me
You could never make me unhappy
Cause we both have been touched
By the spring time sun
We already won
As long as you want me
I'll be right there
But with a life time of hard times
We gotta love
Babe we can share

Chorus x 2

Oh I heard a rooster crow
I think I better go
Never been out this late before
Please don't think I'm a bore
But will I see you anymore

Say have you got a comb that I can use
I'm sure I look like real bad news
Like I really been abused
Don't get me wrong when I ask before
If I'll see you anymore

I don't know if I should laugh or cry
Do you want to kiss me goodbye?
Or was I just another try
You're a funny kinda guy
Don't know what I'll say
When they ask me why

Oh I heard a rooster crow
I think I better go
Never been out this late before
I know when I walk outside your door
I won't see you anymore

If you're gonna let me down, let me down easy
So I won't be too hurt after you're gone
And if you're gonna let me down ah set me down easy
From that special cloud you put me on
Let me down easy, let me down slow

And if you're gonna leave me
Ah honey please me a memory to soften up the fall
And if you're gonna let me down ah let me down easy
Ah baby please don't let me down at all
Let me down easy let me down slow

And if you're gonna let me down ah set me down easy
Ah baby please don't let me down at all
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

The funny-face kid from down the street
Always very close at hand
He was just a cowboy, I was Lady Gran
But I don't think I would have shot him down
If I knew then what I know now

High school days and puppy love
Learning what it's all about
He was kinda akward, I was filling out
But I don't think that I would have played around
If I knew then what I know now

Too many years, too many chairs
Too many other things, too many men
Time and again I had to test my wings
No time for love, strings or wedding rings

A pretty young girl from Baltimore
Got herself a real good man
Once he was a cowboy who wanted Lady Gran
And I know that I would have made that now

If I knew then what I know now
Once he was a cowboy who wanted Lady Gran
And I know that I would have made that vow
If I knew then what I know now

You never give yourself completely
It's just that you've been hurt before
You're so afraid to let me love you
You never leave an open door
Don't judge me by some other lover
Who broke your heart and walked away
Come let's be fair with one another
My world is yours I swear it
Say the word and we can share it

CHORUS:
Don't hide your love
(Don't hide your love)
Not if you care for me
(Not if you care for me)
It isn't fair for me
To worry and wonder and wait
Don't hide your love
(Don't hide your love)
Just love me here and now
(Just love me here and now)
We'll work it out somehow
Don't you keep us apart
Baby unlock your heart
Don't hide your love

Well I now the past has bought you sorrow
The clouds still hang around today
But don't let the rain, fall on tomorrow
Baby we can make it together
'Cause I'm gonna love you forever

Chorus

Well I never been to Spain 
But I kinda like the music 
Say the lady's are insane there 
And they sure know how to use it 
They don't abuse it, never gonna lose it 
I can't refuse it, uh-huh 

Well I never been to England 
But I kinda like the Beetles 
Well I headed for Las Vegas 
Only made it out to Needles 
Can you feel it, must be real 
It feels so good, it feel so good 

Well I never been to heaven 
But I been to Oklahoma 
Well they tell me I was born there 
But I really don't remember 
In Oklahoma, not Arizona 
What does it matter? 
Oh, what does it matter? 

Well I never been to England 
But I kinda like the Beetles 
Well I headed for Las Vegas 
Only made it out to Needles 
Oh, can you feel it, must be real 
It feels like music, it feel so good 

Well I never been to Spain 
But I kinda like the music 
Say the lady's are insane there 
And they sure know how to use it 
Oh, they don't abuse it, never gonna lose it 
I can't refuse it, uh-huh 

Well I never been to heaven 
But I been to Oklahoma 
Well they tell me I was born there 
But I really don't remember 
Oh, in Oklahoma, not Arizona 
What, what does it matter? 
Oh, what does it matter?
