Well no one told me about her the way she lied
Well no one told me about her how many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know why should I care
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there

Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

Well no one told me about her, what could I do
Well no one told me about her, though they all knew
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there

Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there


But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother trying to find her
She's not there

Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

If it seems that I'm too quiet, that's 'cause I'm missin' her
My mind tells me I have to fight, but I can't help missin' her

You'd better leave me alone, you'd better leave me alone
Until I can think about her without feelin' sorry for myself
You'd better leave me be till I don't need her anymore
I don't wanna see her again until I'm sure I'm over her

But still feeling tired & wanting is not like I thought it would be
Love just cannot end at parting; my world's dropped from under me

You'd better leave me alone, you'd better leave me alone
Until I can think about her without feelin' sorry for myself
You'd better leave me be till I don't need her anymore
I don't wanna see her again until I'm sure I'm over her


Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

And if she should tell you "come closer"
And if she tempts you with her charms

Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me

And if she should tell you "I love you"
And if she tempts you with her charms

Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no-no-no-no
(don't take her love for your arms)
No no no no no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me

I know she's the kind of girl
Who'd throw my love away
But I still love her so
Don't hurt me now, don't hurt me now

If she tells you "I love you"
Just remember she said that to me

Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no-no-no-no
(don't take her love from my arms)
No no no no no
Don't leave me now for her love belongs to me

Should I try to hide
The way I feel inside
My heart
For you

Would you say that you
Would try to love me too
In your mind
Could you ever be
Really close to me
I can tell the way you smile

If I feel that I
Could be certain then
I would say the things I want to say tonight

But till I can see
That you'd really care for me
I will dream
That someday you'll be
Really close to me
I can tell the way you smile
If i feel that I
Can be certain then
I could say the things I want to say tonight

But till I can see
That you'd really care for me
I'll keep trying to hid the way I feel inside.

I saw her walking out the other day
I thought my love for her
Had gone away

Well I remember
How I loved her so
(Baby come on home)
My solitude tells me she could, no

But she said what to me
She's coming home
And so I'll cry no more
I'll dry my tears

She's coming home to me
She's coming home to me

I thought the words of love we used to say
Were lost to time
Oh baby, baby, baby
I'll be good to you
If you would only try again to love me too
Our love was such a sweet and gentle thing
I threw our love away
With I thought...

But she said what to me
She's coming home
And so I'll cry no more
I'll dry my tears

She's coming home to me
She's coming home to me

But she said what to me
She's coming home
And so I'll cry no more
I'll dry my tears

She's coming home to me
She's coming home to me
She's coming home to me, oh

It's a mistake going back
They tell me that nothing's the same ever again
But when you walked through the door
It was just like before
Oh nothin's changed, no

When I saw you again, little girl
Something stopped here inside & I wanted to hold you
And tell you I loved you just like before

Oh oh
This is just one day, but one day is enough to start all over again
Give me just one day & we will begin all over again

You didn't mean to hurt me before, but you did, you did
But now you're sorry now, I know
Oh you're sorry, I can see
'Cause when you saw me again
You smiled at me then
Like nothing's changed, no

Oh oh
This is just one day, but one day is enough to start all over again
Give me just one day & we will begin all over again

It's gonna be easy this time, I know, I know
Come on, just try me one more time
I know it's gonna work out just fine
Start all over, start all over again

Somebody help me
I've got to eat
Somebody help me
To stand on my feet

I want you back again
Oh, oh, oh
I want you back again

Since you have left me
I'm all alone
I need your help, I
Can't stand on my own

I want you back again
Oh, oh, oh
I want you back again

Since you have left me
I'm all alone
I need your help, I
Can't stand on my own

I want you back again
Oh, oh, oh
I want you back again

I want you back again
Oh, oh, oh
I want you back again

Oh I've been hurt
But I still love you
I've been hurt
Like this before, yeah

You're not teaching me a new thing
Try to realize
And call me when you're ready
Whenever you're ready

I know you left
But I still love you
And though I've cried like this before

You're not teaching me a new thing
Try to realize
And call me when you're ready
Whenever you're ready

But if you call me
You've got to treat me in a different way
And if you call me
You've got to listen girl to what I tell you

I never hurt
Because I love you
Never hurt me like before, yeah

You're not teaching me a new thing
Try to realize
And call me when you're ready
Whenever you're ready

You're not teaching me a new thing
Try to realize
And call me when you're ready
Whenever you're ready

All you've got to do is call, call me, call me
You know
Call me, call me, call me, call me
Ready
Call me

When she love me nothing in the world
Can touch her loving now
The light of love has gone
Can I return the joy she's dreaming of
I don't know
I don't know

But if it don't work out
The tears that I cried, babe
(If it don't work out)
Won't bring her home
(If it don't work out)
If it don't work out

Will she still care for me
The way she did before, well
She turned around and tells me
She don't love me anymore
I don't know
I don't know

But if it don't work out
The tears that I cried, babe
(If it don't work out)
Won't bring her home
(If it don't work out)
If it don't work out

But if I could forget
The tears and the crying
That I went through
Once before
Maybe my love, could start
Start again

One day I know we'll find
The candle that we had
And I
Will know and feel
The joys and pleasures
That I'm dreaming of
And I don't know
I don't know

But if it don't work out
The tears that I cried, babe
(If it don't work out)
Won't bring her home
(If it don't work out)
If it don't work out

But if it don't work out
If it don't work out
If it don't work out
If it don't work out

I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I do
But the words won't come and I don't know what to say

I should tell you, I love you, I do
My words should explain, but my words won't come
I shouldn't hide my love deep inside
My words should explain, but my words won't come
I should tell you just how I feel, and I keep tryin'
But something holds me back when I try to tell you

I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I do
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I do
But the words won't come and I don't know what to say

If I can find the words in my mind
The words could explain, but the words won't come
If you can see what you mean to me
My words should explain, but my words won't come
And oh how hard I try to tell you I love you
But something holds me back when I try to tell you

I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I do
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I do
But the words won't come and I don't know what to say!

And I don't know what to say
And oh how hard I try to tell you I love you
But something holds me back when I try to tell you

I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I do
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I do
But the words won't come and I don't know what to say!

I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I do
I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I do

Hey, hey, hey
I want to tell you something
So listen try to understand
Hey, hey, hey
If you continue to chase the sun
I'll never be your man

I'll count the times that I told you
You really shouldn't try
And I told you
Cause baby you'll just cry for a shadow
Believe me
Baby, baby, baby

Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Hey, hey, hey

I better warn you now
Someday you'll find yourself alone
Hey, hey, hey

And life's not pretty then
It's ugliness will hide the sun

I'll count the times that I told you
You really shouldn't try
And I told you
Cause baby you'll just cry for a shadow
Believe me
Baby, baby, baby

Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream

I'm going to do just how I feel
Don't try to hustle me the way I feel
Hey, hey, hey

I'll count the times that I told you
You really shouldn't try
And I told you
Cause baby you'll just cry for a shadow
Believe me
Baby, baby, baby

Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream

Is this the dream you're crying for
Oh you can't live with a dream
You can't buy with a dream, oh
Is this the dream
Is this the dream you're crying for

I remember your face
When I think of this place
When I'm thinking back
I'll remember
When I'm far, far away
I'll remember today
When I'm thinking back
I won't forget you

And if I should change my mind
And I do sometimes
You know I do sometimes
I'll come back to you

I'll remember that smile
In your eyes all the while
When I'm thinking back
I'll remember
Comes a day when I'm down
My thoughts turn around
To when I last saw you
I can't forget you

And if I should change my mind
And I do sometimes
You know I do sometimes
I'll come back to you

And if I should change my mind
And I do sometimes
You know I do sometimes
I'll come back to you

Remember, remember, remember, remember
Remember, remember, remember you

Just out of reach
Time has changed you
I can see
Try to remember how we used to be
Come on
Back to me

Just out of reach
Don't stand back and you will see
Just how easy it can be
But you stand inattentively

Just out of reach
Time to show that I mean what I say
You'll see, (you'll see) you'll see (you'll see)
You'll wonder why you doubted my work
When our love was meant to be

Come on home
You'll be glad
Back here I won't be mad
Funny you should be the one to make me feel sad

Just out of reach

Just out of reach
Time to show that I mean what I say
You'll see, (you'll see) you'll see (you'll see)
You'll wonder why you doubted my work
When our love was meant to be

Come on home
You'll be glad
Back here I won't be mad
Funny you should be the one who make me feel sad
Just out of reach

Girl I know you're not coming back anymore
So why oh why do I keep on watching the door
I talk to you
As though you can hear what I say
But I'll lose my mind
If I keep on acting this way

I've got to get a hold on myself
Got to make believe I don't care
Got to go someplace
Find a brand new place
Got to get out and get somewhere
Got to get a hold on myself
Got to take what life has to give

Got to get on the track and lay down and die
Got to get a hold on myself

Late at night I hear footsteps sound down the hall
And I
Tell myself that you're coming back after all
Telephone rings but there's no one on the line
No, no, no
When I stop and think
I know it's all in my mind

I've got to get a hold on myself
Got to make believe I don't care
Got to go someplace
Find a brand new place
Got to get out and get somewhere
Got to get a hold on myself
Got to take what life has to give

Got to get on the track and lay down and die
Got to get a hold on myself

It's the Time Of the Season.
When love runs high.
And this time, give it to me easy.
And let me try with pleasured hands.

To take you in the sun to (promised lands).
To show you every one. It's the time of
The season for loving.

What's your name? Who's your daddy?
(He rich) Is he rich like me.
Has he taken, any time.
(To show) To show you what you need to live.

Tell it to me slowly (tell me what).
I really want to know. It's the time of
The season for loving.

Well I have a picture in color of you
And it's there in my room to remind me of you
So it was with surprise that I saw you today
And I did not recognize you, girl, what more can I say?

For the colors are gone
You've become kind of gray
And you're not like the swan
That I knew yesterday...

Now the pictures are wrong
You've become kind of gray
I imagine the swan
That you were yesterday...

The sadness that I felt was hard on my eyes
And the truth on my face was hard to disguise
So I let you walk by
I turned out of your way
And I tried to close my eyes
And let the sadness fall away...

For the colors are gone
You've become kind of gray
And you're not like the swan
That I knew yesterday...

Now the pictures are wrong
You've become kind of gray
I imagine the swan
That you were yesterday...
