WE'RE SONS OF OUR FATHERS

WE'RE SONS OF OUR FATHERS


When I grow up to be a man
Like my father was when I was young
I hope I can make him so proud of me
Proud enough to call me his son, oh yeah

What makes these people so different now
What makes these times so strange?
Seems most people got most everything they need
How come we see this change?

Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
When will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer

When I was a boy, did we have more respect?
This world seemed a nicer place to be
But time slowly passes and one day you look around
You hardly recognize what you see

Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
Now when will we ever learn, but I'm a believer
They're beyond your control

We're all sons of our fathers
Sometimes I feel like mine
I can hear him say, the things I say
Seems all things come around in time, oh

Why these things happen we'll never know?
Guess that was then and this is now
We always knew that change was gonna come
But I want to go back, please tell me how

Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast and they're losing their soul
When will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer, oh yeah
Beyond your control, oh they're beyond your control

WEAR MY HAT

WEAR MY HAT


She came looking for me with her arms open wide,
like some long lost friend of mine.

She said, "Excuse me, but do you remember me?"
I said, "No, I don't believe I do"
So she looked me up and down,
and undressed me with her eyes,
Then she said "You've got everything I need, you've got everything I want"

So I said "OK,

you can wear my hat,
you can have my coat,
you can take my shirt
'cos I don't need it.
You can wear my shoes,
you can take my socks,
come on take my bag it's yours

If you love it,
you can have it if you love it,
ain't no problem if you love it,
come on take it if you love it."

So her friend came up to me
with a pen and paper in her hand,
expressing some interest in the number of my room,
She said, "Excuse me, but do you remember me?"
I said "No." She said "Can I appeal to you?"

So I looked her up and down
and, realising her insinuations, I blushed
she said "Listen, babe, you don't know me,
no you don't know me but you owe me,

and I love you,
yes I love you,
put your arms around me 'cos I love you,
I got all your records and I love you"

So I suggested

"You can wear my hat,
you can have my coat,
you can take my shirt
'cos I don't need it.
You can wear my shoes,
you can take my socks,
come on take my bag it's yours

If you love it,
you can have it if you love it,
ain't no problem if you love it,
come on take it if you love it."

Well later on that day this guy came to me
with a scrap of paper in his hand
He said, "Hey buddy, can you sign your name for me?"
I said, "Why, do I owe you money?" He said, "No"
I said, "Listen pal, do I know you? Have we ever met?
Why do you want my name on this little piece of paper?"

He said, "I love you,
I don't know you but I love you,
like my brother I love you,
put your arms around me 'cos I love you"

I said, "Hey let's not rush things.

you can wear my hat,
you can have my coat,
you can take my shirt
'cos I don't need it.
You can wear my shoes,
you can take my socks,
come on take my bag it's yours

If you love it,
you can have it if you love it,
ain't no problem if you love it,
come on take it if you love it.

You can wear my hat,
You can wear my hat,
You can wear my hat,
Come on wear my hat."

WHO SAID I WOULD

WHO SAID I WOULD


I know she says she wants me
I hear it every day
And I know she know it keeps me
Well there ain't no other way

But she's got a heart
Must be made of stone
'Cos when I tell her that
She'll miss me when I'm gone

She says
"Who said I would?"

She knows it ain't easy
For a simple boy like me
She fills me full of loving
Oh, then she sets me free

But she's got a heart
Must be made of stone
'Cos when I tell her that
She'll miss me when I'm gone

She says
"Who said I would"?
Tell me, "Who said I would?
Who said I would?
(Who said I would?)
Who said I would?"

I'm not the only one but I do fine
I suit her purpose and I'm just her kind
I don't own her and I never could
Don't think I do, don't think I should

Tell me
"Who said I would?"
(Who said I would?)
Who said I would?

But she's got a heart
Must be made of stone
And when I tell her that
She'll miss me when I'm gone

She says
"You're not the only one, but you do fine
You suit my purpose and you're just my kind
You don't own me and you never could
Don't think you do, don't think you should"

Who said I would?
(Who said I would?)

Now she knows when she calls me
I'll come runnin' every time
And she knows she gets me hot
But she don't know it's her body never mine

And she's got a heart
Must be made of stone
'Cos when I tell her that
She'll miss me when I'm gone

She says
"Who said I would?"
Tell me, "Who said I would?
Who said I would?
Who said I would?"

Who said I would?
Who said I would?
(Who said I would?)
(Who said I would?)

WHY CAN'T IT WAIT 'TIL MORNING

WHY CAN'T IT WAIT 'TIL MORNING


Why can't it wait 'til morning?
We can talk about it then
'Cos I've had a drink too many
And my troubles, well I ain't got any

Why can't it wait 'til daylight?
Things will seem much clearer then
I'm tired and my eyes are weary
And I just wan't you lying here with me

So close your eyes
I'll make it oh, so nice

Well I don't wanna think about what we've said
And I don't wanna know why we hurt ourselves
'Cos I just wanna hold you so close to me
It'll take care of itself and I wanna sleep

So why can't it wait 'til next time?
'Cos that time may never come
Stay here with your arms around me
You're going nowhere without me

So close your eyes
I'll make it oh. so nice for you

YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE

YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE


I need love, love
ooh, ease my mind
And I need to find time
someone to call mine;

My mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
But it's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes

How many heartaches must I stand
Before I find the love to let me live again
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
when I feel my strength, ooh, it's almost gone

I remember mama said
You can't hurry love
No you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
How long must I wait
How much more must I take
Before loneliness
Will cause my heart, heart to break?

No, I cant bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
Well these precious words keep me hanging on

I remember mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
Well, it's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes, now break!

Now love, love don't come easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms
hold me tight
I keep waiting
Ooh, till that day
But it ain't easy (Love don't come easy)
No, you know it ain't easy

My mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take...

YOU KEEP ME HANGIN' ON

YOU KEEP ME HANGIN' ON


Set me free, why don't'cha, babe?
Get out my life, why don't'cha, babe?
'Cause you don't really love me,
You just keep me hangin' on.
You don't really need me,
But you keep me hangin' on.

Why do you keep a-comin' around,
Playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life,
And let me make a new start?
Let me get over you,
The way you've gotten over me.

Set me free, why don't'cha, babe?
Let me be, why don't'cha, babe?
(Ooo-oo-oo)
'Cause you don't really love me,
You just keep me hangin' on.
(Ooo-oo-oo)
Now you don't really want me,
You just keep me hangin' on.

You say although we broke up,
You still wanna be just friends.
But how can we still be friends,
When seein' you only breaks my heart again?

And there ain't nothing I can do about it!

Wo-oh oh-oh oh
(Set me free, why don't'cha, babe?)
Wo-oh oh-oh oh
(Get out my life, why don't'cha, babe?)
(Ooo-oo-oo.)
Set me free, why don't'cha, babe?
Get out my life, why don't'cha, babe?

Set me free, why don't'cha, babe?
Get out my life, why don't'cha, babe?
'Cause you don't really love me,
You just keep me hangin' on.

You claim you still care for me,
But your heart and soul needs to be free.
And now that you've got your freedom,
You wanna still hold on to me.
You don't want me for yourself,
So let me find somebody else.

Hey-hey!

Why don't you be a man about it,
And set me free?
(Ooo-oo-oo)
Now, you don't care a thing about me,
You're just using me.
(Ooo-oo-oo)
Go on, get out, get out of my life,
And let me sleep at night
(Ooo-oo-oo)
'Cause you don't really love me,
You just keep me hangin' on...

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN


Just as I thought I'd make it
You walk back into my life
Just like you never left

Just as I'd learned to be lonely
You call up to tell me
You're not sure if you're ready
Oh ready or not, you'll take what you've got and leave

Leave me alone with my heart
Putting the pieces back together again
Just leave, oh leave me alone with my dreams
I can do without you, know what I mean

I wish I could write a love song
To show you the way I feel
Seems you don't like to listen
Oh like it or not, and take what you've got and leave

Oh leave me alone with my heart
It's broken in two when I'm not, I'm not thinking too
straight
Just leave, oh leave me alone with my dreams
You've taken everything else, you know what I mean

 

[fox69]

YOU REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME

YOU REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME


I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh
You treat me badly
I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I don't want you,
But I need you
Don't want to kiss you
But I need to
Oh, oh, oh
You do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Tighter. Tighter.
I want to leave you
Don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend
Another day here
Oh, oh, oh, I want to split now
I just can't quit now
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me please, hold me squezee, hold me, hold me
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me

YOU'VE BEEN CHEATIN'


I've been trying hard to forget
That you've been cheating
Wishin' you I'de never met
Cause you've been cheatin'

Can't you know lies can be seen in your eyes
And from wrong you'll never be free
While you sit cryin', you've been lyin'
You've been cheatin', cheatin' on me

Oh Yeah

Yeah, you made me suspect and I know
You don't want me
Cookies crumble, and that's how it goes
You don't want me

And from wrong you'll never be free
While you sit cryin', you've been lyin'
You've been cheatin', cheatin' on me

Oh yeah

Another lover you discover
Our love's gone and I don't know why
It's just as well, though at last I do know
All you said was just a lie

So I'm trying hard to forget
That you've been cheatin'
And wishin' you I'de never met
Cause you've been cheating

Can't you know lies can be seen in your eyes
And from wrong you'll never be free
While you sit cryin', you've been lyin'
You've been cheatin', cheatin' on me

ooh, ooh baby (you've been cheating)
