Slow motion, slow motion baby
We want our love to last
EverythingО„s so right, why try to go so fast
ItО„s easy to lose sight
And then the moments passed

Go easy, go easy baby
You know thereО„s time for us
Even though this world seems to be speeding up
Maybe we can try to slow things down

Because we need to draw the line
Because we need to make the time
Because we need to sip the wine

Because the clock is running,
And itО„s going so fast
The futureО„s coming but itО„s soon the past
ItО„s here today and thereО„s no turning back

Go lightly, go lightly baby
In time weО„ll find a way
ItО„s never over О„till itО„s over
Why rush it through?
Never pausing to admire the view

Slow motion, well if we get tired
Then we can rest awhile
If weО„re gonna go, weО„re gonna go in style
Isn`t that what life is all about?

Woah ohh...
I don't know any more
Just don't know any more

But think of what you're saying I really think you should
You'd better stop complaining it won't do you any good
You know you should have done the right thing
When you drew your master plan
But little by little I'll try to make you understand
Little by little
I try to make you understand

Oh ohh...
You don't know anymore
Got so far from the shore

You're one in a million, if you could only see
You've less than perfect vision can't see the woods before the trees
Gonna to shake you till your bell rings, you're like a ship that's lost at sea
But little by little I'm going to bring you back to me
Little by little I'm gonna to bring you back to me

Well you gotta get back home
(You gotta get back home)
Cos you gotta change your ways
(You gotta change your ways)
Can't do it all alone
(Can't do it all alone)
Cos you've got too much at stake
(You've got too much at stake)
So get to it right away
Ooh woah woaah

I'm going to set out on a rescue until this mission is complete
Oh yes you know I'm going to get you, I'll make you listen to my plea
Ah yeah you thought the grass was greener but then it didn't prove to be
But little by little
I'm going to bring you back to me
Little by little
I'm going to bring you back to me

Well little by little...

You make me nervous when you're flying around
The secret service couldn't track you down
You tell me no then you kiss me
You say hello then you ditch me
You try to run when you see me

I never knew what this dream was about
You say let's go then you're lost in the crowd
I don't know where you're going
You won't show then you're showing
I don't know then I'm knowing

You're always busy when I call on the phone
(Stop stop)
I'm broken hearted are you made out of stone
(Stop stop)
Snakes alive why you grievin'
It's six to five and I'm leavin'
I can't stand no more teasin'

I wrote a letter (letter) I couldn't get her (get her)
Some other fella (fella) was going to tell her (tell her)
This kind of weather (weather) you need a sweater (sweater)
It's geting wetter (wetter) drink Amaretto (retto)
Light as a feather (feather)
Ain't no one better (better))
You wearing leather (leather)
Ain't nothing better (better)
I'm going to renta a (renta a))
Spiffy Lambretta (bretta)
I want to wed her (wed her)
The day I met her

Love me hug me shove me you blow me away
You bug me snub me club me you fill me with with praise
You tell me this way or that way
But take it thin way or fat way
I say it's my way or highway

You're always busy when I call on the phone
(Stop stop)
I'm broken hearted are you made out of stone
(Stop stop)
Snakes alive why you grievin'
It's six to five and I'm leavin'
I can't stand no more teasin'

Trouble is my calling card, thatО„s my middle name
Ever since you walked away, things are not the same
Now my life is misery, donО„t know what to do
Yes your gone, your history, but I canО„t get over you

Used to be in Shang-Gri-La, life used to be so good
You and me were going so far and that was understood
But ever since you walked away, my world has turned so blue
So now I live from day to day О„cos I canО„t get over you

Give our love another chance, you could make it so
Just how this could go so wrong, I will never know

Well I want you right next to me and thatО„s all I can say
And IО„ve been calling ever since you drove me away
You were on my mind so long, itО„s hard for me to take
Now my heart is not so strong and it might break over you

You can wear a wig and some elevator shoes
Make yourself twice as big, but IО„m still coming after you

Well now how you doin' do I know you
Are you living round here or just passing through
Seems like I met you before well how you do

Take care while you're in there, the lights are low
Though the gals are good, they're not the kind you want to know
Just sit back, and drink a stiff one - enjoy the show

They got nothing on me, nothing I can see, nothing that could do me wrong
Cos I'm in my disguise they'll never get wise
Ain't nothing that can cause alarm

One hit that'll do you. You won't look back
You'll be feeling no pain. Put you right on track
Why don't you do it again ah now you're getting the knack

Let's go to a new place, the lights look good
Reflecting the rain across the neighborhood
Who's that over there, looks like he's up to no good

"Hey what you doing to me, is that a knife that I see
Well are you trying to bring me down
I'm a tryin' to run but my legs are all numb
It's like I'm messin' with the wrong side of town"

You're on the wrong station, you're on the wrong track
You've lost your reservation, now you can't get back
You're getting a shake down, unlucky for you
Tenth Avenue breakdown...

"It's getting rough, just too tough
I'm all abused and so confused
I've got to go, I feel so low, just can't wait
It's gettin' late..."

Spoken: {Policeman's words]
Get down now...
Put your hands behind your head......
You have the right to remain silent ....
Anything you say can be used against you ....

"Don't know who came he just set upon me
It's kind of vague and I'm, I'm kind of groggy
But you must believe me, he just stopped breathing
I didn't do it, it wasn't me
I know it wasn't me"

Gettin' late we can't afford to wait
It's gettin' late we can't afford to wait [repeat]
You're on the wrong station, you're on the wrong track
You lost your reservation and you can't get back
You're getting to shake down, unlucky for you
Tenth Avenue breakdown

It's getting rough, it's just too tough
I'm all abused and so confused
I've got to go, feel so low
Just can't wait

Well I don't care about the summer rain
I know it's good for the garden
Don't care what blue skies
They turn to grey
When you come around
And try to run me down
Storm clouds darken...mmm...yeah
I don't get down when the fields go brown
It's just a charm of the season
Well things in nature have their reason
But when you come along and try to do me wrong
Well the first time I'll ignore it
But don't you push beyond the pale
But then you're going to find there's no more water in the well
And you may think you're going to walk right all over me
But there's a sting in the tail of this honey bee
The wind blows cold as the year grows old
Yeah that's just the natural way it goes
I feel a chill from my head down to my toes
Each time you call my name
And tell me I'm to blame
Well the first time I recall don't you push beyond the pale
Then you're going to find there's no more water in the well
And you may think you're going to walk right all over me
But there's a sting in the tail of this honey bee
I said the first time I'll ignore it but don't you push beyond the pale
And then you're going to find there's no more water in the well
You may think you're going to walk right all over me
There's a sting in the tail of this honey bee
Yes there's a sting in the tail
Well the cold wind's going to blow
Let it rain, let it snow
And don't give me your grief
I can't take it anymore...

I keep on churning away, but pay no mind
You don't know nothing 'bout me but that's alright

I tell you true that I'll be there and that's for sure
You got to let me go everywhere, let me through that door
Let me through that door

You say you got a bee in your bonnet
You know for every sting there's a cure
But don't you put your finger right on it
You'll only make it hurt all the more

I doubt if you'll be liable to read it in the bible
But I ain't going to say any more

You can't build enough in a row but don't kid yourself
You gotta know they're all insane
They goin' ridin' on the range
Don't need no hi-fly strutter
Go babe, you're driving me crazy

You got a new shining beau
It don't pay to love
It don't pay to love

You say you got a bee in your bonnet
You know for every sting there's a cure
But don't you put your finger right on it
You'll only make it hurt all the more

I doubt if you be liable
To read it in the bible
I ain't going to say any more

Well there you go blaming yourself
There you go hiding so deep in your shell
You better not cry when your baby comes home
Yeah you know she's going to find out somehow
You're having a breakdown right here and now
I guess you don't know where you're headed for now
It's OK..... you're going to live to see another day

Lie, cheat, and beg, borrow, steal
Gotta find a way to be real
Show me something I ain't seen before
We're gonna make it through that door
You may be in love and love it's true
But it's a romance that you can't use
Give me something and take it away
Gonna get it right some day
You gonna get it right some day

You say you got a bee in your bonnet
You know for every sting there's a cure
But don't you put your finger right on it
You'll only make it hurt all the more

I doubt if you be liable
To read it in the bible
I ain't going to say any more

But there you go blaming yourself
And there you go hiding
So deep in your shell
You better not cry when your baby comes home
And you know she's going to find out somehow
You're having a breakdown right here and now
I guess you don't know where you're heading for now
It's OK..... you're going to live to see another day

Well there you go blaming yourself
There you go hiding so deep in your shell
You better not cry when your baby comes home
Yeah you know she's going to find out somehow
You're having a breakdown right here and now
I guess you don't know where you're headed for now
It's OK..... you're going to live to see another day

Bless my heart and soul
I've discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
Let's get into town

I am living down by the creek
Getting mired in the mud
No liquor for a week
I feel the cold in my blood
Here's a very busy lady
On her knees in the sludge
Well I do believe she's crazy
You know she's working like a drudge

Bless my heart and soul
She's discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let's get into town

Even though she smelt like a drain
She's an angel to me
Her intentions are plain
And the whiskey is free
Breaking out another bottle
Keep it cool in the dirt
Well it's a water baby heaven
I got the papers in my shirt

Bless my heart and soul
We've discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let's get into town

Bless my heart and soul
We've discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let's get into town

You work hard all your life little honey
But you can't afford to save any money
You lay it down you leave the town
To see what you could find

For more than 20 years you're a diggin'
Then you can't believe what you are a pickin'
It's a piece of change just like a mountain range
Whoopee we're gonna lay it down

Goin' through my life, day by day
Wonderin' why and what road it'll take
Sometimes low and sometimes high
Tryin' find a reason to live by

Well I've been searching far and wide
Over the water beyond the sky
And I've been watching the moon above
Smiling down at me, what's he thinkin' of

What's he thinkin' way up in the sky
Bet he could tell me where my future lies

There ain't no promise, or guarantee
Ain't no wisdom being laid on me
And it's a low down dirty shame
But I gotta find the answer just the same

I ain't foolin' around
Nobody cares
I got a feelin'
Oh I'm going to find it ...
Uhuh
Woo hoo hoo

Well I've been playin' the Dead Man's Blues
And now I need a drink, it's going to be on you
The day of judgement ain't far away
But who'll be the judge, it's hard to say...
Mnnn.. yeah that's hard to say...
