Fathers are pleading,lovers are all alone,mothers are prayin,send our sons back home.Oh you marched them away,on ships and planes,to a senseless war, facing death in vain.
-Chorus-[x4]Bring the boys homeBring them back alive
Turn the ships around,lay your weapons down.
Can't you see them marchin across the sky,all the soldiers that have died,trying to get home,can't you see them trying to get home.Tryin to get home,tryin to get home.
Cease all fire,on the battlefield,enough men have already,been wounded and killed.

-Chorus-[x4]Bring the boys homeBring them back alive
Turn the ships around,lay your weapons down.
-Break-Ya ha ha ya, ya ha ha ya.Trying to get home[x4]
-Chorus-[x4]Bring the boys homeBring them back alive
Whater they doin over there now,when we need 'em over here now.What they doin over there now,when we need them over here now.bring 'em bring 'em bring 'em home,(bring them back alive)bring 'em bring 'em bring 'em home,(bring them back alive)bring 'em bring 'em bring 'em back back home(bring them back alive)bring the boys home(bring them back alive)

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Oh, I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold now
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
(California dreamin' on such a winter's day)

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
If I didn't tell her I could leave today
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

California dreamin', dream on
California dreamin', dream on
California dreamin', dream on

I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired.
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on ones more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth.
And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say come dance with me
and murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems
At seventeen.
A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
Whose name I never could pronounce
said, Pity please the ones who serve
They only get what they deserve.
The rich relationed hometown queen
Married into what she needs
A guarantee of company
And haven for the elderly.


Remember those who win the game
Lose the love they sought to gain
Indebentures of quality
And dubious integrity.
Their small town eyes will gape at you
in dull surprise when payment due
Exceeds accounts received
At seventeen.
To those of us who know the pain
Of valentines that never came,
And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball.
It was long ago and far away
The world was younger than today
And dreams were all they gave for free
To ugly duckling girls like me.
We all play the game and when we dare
To cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown
That call and say, come dance with me
and murmur vague obscenities
At ugly girls like me
At seventeen

We are young, heartache to heartache we standNo promises, no demandsLove is a battlefieldWe are strong, no one can tell us were wrongSearchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowingLove is a battlefield
Youre beggin me to go, youre makin me stayWhy do you hurt me so bad? It would help me to knowDo I stand in your way, or am I the best thing youve had? Believe me, believe me, I cant tell you whyBut Im trapped by your love, and Im chained to your side
We are young, heartache to heartache we standNo promises, no demandsLove is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us were wrongSearchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowingLove is a battlefield

Were losing controlWill you turn me away or touch me deep inside? And before this gets old, will it still feel the same? Theres no way this will dieBut if we get much closer, I could lose controlAnd if your heart surrenders, youll need me to hold
We are young, heartache to heartache we standNo promises, no demandsLove is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us were wrongSearchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowingLove is a battlefield
We are young, heartache to heartache we standNo promises, no demandsLove is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us were wrongSearchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowingLove is a battlefield

Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was

Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man


Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was


Sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man

He's a the son of a preacher man


Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man


Ohh oh oh yeah!

. . .


Devastatingly complimentary stay
Far away from me
With your counterfeit heart

I'm in misery
Irreversibly
Come and rescue me
From your counterfeit heart

This catastrophe won't be the last of me
If you asked me I wouldn't give it back
Who knew butterflies could ever compromise
I shouldn't be surprised at how I love you

I can't find content
I don't know where it went
Has it all been spent
On your counterfeit heart

Oh, oh, oh, oh

This catastrophe won't be the last of me
If you asked me I wouldn't give it back
Who knew butterflies could ever compromise
I shouldn't be surprised at how I love you

So take your chivalry
Fold it carefully
It wasn't meant for me
Love your counterfeit heart
Love your counterfeit heart
Love your counterfeit heart
