"I Love To See You Smile"

"I Love To See You Smile"



I was born to make you happy.
I think you're just my style.
Everywhere I go,
Tellin' everyone I know,
Baby, I love to see you smile.

Don't want to take a trip to China.
Don't want sail up the Nile.
Wouldn't wan' get too far,
From where you are,
'Cause I love to see you smile.

Like a sink without a faucet.
Like a watch without a dial.
What would I do if I didn't have you.
I love to see you smile.

In the summer, in the springtime,
The winter, or the fall,
The only place I wanna be
Is where I can see you smile at me.

In a world that's full of trouble,
Y'make it all worth while.
What would I do if I didn't have you.
I just love to see you smile.
I love to see you smile.

In the summer, in the springtime,
The winter, or the fall,
The only place I wanna be
Is where I can see you smile at me.

In a world that's full of trouble,
Y'make it all worth while.
What would I do if I didn't have you.
I love to see you smile.
I love to see you smile.

"I Miss You"

"I Miss You"



Still in my heart
After all these years
Separated by time
And now by distance
I couldn't allow myself to feel
The loss that I feel right now
As I put this song down

You're far away
And happy I know
And it's a little bit late
Twenty years or so
And it's a little bit cold
For all those concerned
But I'd sell my soul and your souls for a song
So I'll pour my heart out

I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I'm sorry but I do
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I'm sorry but it's true

I want to thank you for the good years
And apologize for the rough ones
You must be laughing yourself sick
Up there in Idaho
But I wanted to write you one
Before I quit
And this one's it

I miss you
I miss you
And I wanted you to know
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
And I still love you so

"I Think He's Hiding"

"I Think He's Hiding"



If the Big Boy comes tomorrow
There'll be no more teardrops
There'll be no more sorrow
If the Big Boy comes tomorrow
Will He take you with Him?

Have you been good?
Have you been bad?
If you haven't lived the way you should
You'll wish you had

When the Big Boy brings his fiery furnace
Will He like what he sees
Or will He strike the fire and burn us?
Oh, He's so great
And He's so straight
And you know He's watching

Have you been good?
Have you been bad?
If you haven't lived the way you should
You'll wish you had

Come on, Big Boy
Come and save us
Come and look at what we've done
With what you gave us
Now I've heard it said
That our Big Boy's dead
But I think He's hiding
I think He's hiding
I think He's hiding

"I Think It's Going To Rain Today"

"I Think It's Going To Rain Today"



Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend

Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

"I Want Everyone To Like Me"

"I Want Everyone To Like Me"



I want everyone to like me
I want everyone to like me real bad
I want everyone to approve of me
'Cause when they disapprove of me it makes me feel so sad

I want to earn the respect of my peers
If it takes a hundred years
I'd like to find out where they are, by the way,
For I would run to embrace them
I'm only kidding
I'm really very modest once you get to know me

A house, a little land
Maybe someone to lend a helping hand
A little money set aside
Ah, then I would be satisfied

I want someone to tell me one time
"Honey, you don't look well.
Why don't you lie down for a couple of years
I'll look after things." Yeah.
A grown up woman would be nice
I'd like to flip her over once or twice
Find out what makes her tick

Some friends to call my own, God knows,
A family and a home
A couple kiddies at my side
To keep me fat and satisfied
I want everyone to like me
That's one thing
I know for sure
I want everyone to like me
'Cause I'm a little insecure

"I Want You To Hurt Like I Do"

"I Want You To Hurt Like I Do"



I ran out on my children
And I ran out on my wife
Gonna run out on you too, baby
I've done it all my life
Everybody cried the night I left
Well, almost everybody did
My little boy just hung his head
And I put my arm, put my arm around his little shoulder
And this is what I said:
"Sonny I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
Honest I do, honest I do, honest I do"

If I had one wish
One dream I knew would come true
I'd want to speak to all the people of the world
I'd get up there, I'd get up there on that platform
First I'd sing a song or two you know I would
Then I'll tell you what I'd do
I'd talk to the people and I'd say
"It's a rough rough world, it's a tough tough world
Well, you know
And things don't always, things don't always go the way we plan
But there's one thing, one thing we all have in common
And it's something everyone can understand
All over the world sing along

I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
Honest I do, honest I do, honest I do"

"I Will Go Sailing No More"

"I Will Go Sailing No More"



Out among the stars I sail
Way beyond the moon
In my silver ship I sail
A dream that ended too soon
Now I know exactly who I am and what I'm here for
And I will go sailing no more

All the things I thought I'd be
All the brave things I've done
Vanish like a snowflake
With the rising of the sun
Never more to sail my ship
Where no man has gone before
And I will go sailing no more

But no, it can't be true
I could fly if I wanted to
Like a bird in the sky
If I believed I could fly
Why, I'd fly

Clearly, I will go sailing no more

"I'll Be Home"

"I'll Be Home"



I'll be home
I'll be home
When your nights are troubled
And you're all alone
When you're feeling down
And need some sympathy
There's no one else around
To keep you company
Remember baby, you can always count on me

I'll be home
I'll be home
I'll be home

I'll be home
I'll be home
Wherever you may wander
Wherever you may roam
You come back and I'll be waiting here for you
No one else will ever love you the way I do
I'll be here to comfort you
And see you through

I'll be home
I'll be home
I'll be home

"I'm Dead (But I Don't Know It)"

"I'm Dead (But I Don't Know It)"



I have nothing left to say
But I'm gonna say it anyway
Thirty years upon a stage
And I hear the people say
Why won't he go away?

I pass the houses of the dead
They're calling me to join their group
But I stagger on instead
Dear God, sweet God
Protect me from the truth, hey

I'm dead but I don't know it
He's dead, he's dead
I'm dead but I don't know
He's dead, he's dead
I'm dead but I don't know it
He's dead, he's dead
Please don't tell me so
Let me, let me, let me go

I have a family to support
But surely, that is no excuse
I've nothing further to report
Time you spend with me
Is time you lose

I always thought that I would know
When it was time to quit
That when I lost a step or two or three or four or five
I'd notice it
Now that I've arrived here safely
I find my talent has gone
Why do I go on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on

He's dead, he's dead, he's dead
I don't know it
He's dead, he's dead, he's dead
I didn't know
He's dead, he's dead, he's dead
I didn't know it
Who would be so cruel to tell me so?
You're dead!

When will I end this bitter game?
When will I end this cruel charade?
Everything I write all sounds the same
Each record that I'm making
Is like a record that I've made
Just not as good

I'm dead but I don't know it
He's dead, he's dead
I'm dead but I don''t know
He's dead, he's dead
I'm dead but I don't know it
He's dead, he's dead
Please don't tell me so
Please don't tell me so
You're dead!

"I'm Different"

"I'm Different"



I'm different and I don't care who knows it
Somethin' about me
It's not the same, yeah
I'm different and that's how it goes
Ain't gonna play your goddamn game

Got a different way a walkin'
I got a different kind of smile
I got a different way a talkin'
Drives the women kind of wild
(Kind of wild)

(He's different)
And I don't care who knows it
(Somethin' about him)
It's not the same
(He's different)
And that's how it goes
(And he's not gonna play your gosh darn game)

I ain't sayin' I'm better than you are
But maybe I am
I only know that when I look in the mirror
I like the man
(We like the man)

I'm different and I don't care who knows it
Somethin' about me
Not the same
I'm different and that's how it goes
Ain't gonna play your goddamn game

When I walk down the street in the mornin'
Blue birds are singin' in the tall oak tree
They sing a little song for the people
And they sing a little song for me

(He's different and he don't care who knows it
Somethin' about him
Not the same
He's different and that's how it goes
Ain't gonna play your gosh darn game)

I'm different and I don't care who knows it
Somethin' about me
Not the same
I'm different and that's how it goes
Ain't gonna play no boss man's game
