 Baby, baby, oh no.

Baby, I’m watching you and you watching me.
Come on, let’s get together.
Have this dance with me.

Baby, I’m watching you and you watching me.
Come on, let’s get together.
Have this dance with me, girl.

The party’s jumping, girl;
the music’s bumping yell.
The dance floor is crowded.
I got my eye on you.

I got to make my move.
Baby, I got to do it.
I’m feeling good.
I want to dance with you, girl.

The way you move your body so sweet, girl,
calling, calling me.
I can’t control myself.
Oh.

Baby, I’m watching you and you watching me.
Come on, let’s get together.
Have this dance with me.

Baby, I’m watching you and you watching me.
Come on, let’s get together.
Have this dance with me, girl.

I can’t wait to get real close.
Baby, you got me open,
that I can be the only one all night.

I want to take my time.
I wish this can last forever
I’m in the moment
and I just can’t let it go

The way you move your body so sweet, girl,
calling me, calling me.
I can’t control myself.
I want you.
Ohhhhh

Baby, I’m watching you and you watching me.
Come on, let’s get together.
Have this dance with me.

Baby, I’m watching you and you watching me.
Come on, let’s get together.
Have this dance with me, girl.

I’m feeling so good with you on the floor,
so glad you’re dancing with me.
I’m floating on a cloud and I can’t come down.
It feels just like a dream.

Special,
come on baby, let’s rock the floor.
I want to get to know you move left,
move right, it’s a hot spot tonight.

Baby, I’m watching you and you watching me.
Come on, let’s get together.
Have this dance with me.

Baby, I’m watching you and you watching me.
Come on, let’s get together.

    Somebody loves you, somebody cares.
You own the love that somebody shares.
You should be with me, spending your time.
Loving me, loving me now.
Holding me only, but now.

I’m just watching the hours go by.
Nothing to do but cry.
Now you are gone.
I should be glad.
But I love you only.
So that’s why I’m sad.

Go to your baby, don’t make him cry.
Each time you kiss him, remember I die.
Walls are my neighbors, shadows my friends.
Keeping me, watching me there.
All of the things we shared.

I’m just watching the hours go by.

Watch what you say to that girl that I love.
You best be true or I’ll be seeing you.
Don’t tell her lies, say things to make her cry.
I, I’ll be there so you best beware.

I love that girl, she is the girl
for her I would die.
Don’t fool around or I’ll break you down if you try.

You gotta watch what you say.
Don’t you dare hurt my love.
I, I’m still the one.
And I’ll be here when you’re gone.

And I got the strength to make you burn, baby, burn.

You’ll never know just how long I’ve been praying
to get you into my life.

It won’t be long before you understand.
Even our love becomes a master plan, and so I..

…I think I’m walking on air.
So much in love I can’t tell what I’m saying.
There’ll be no running away.

You and I won’t be apart again.
I know in my heart that we can start again.

Wait for the summer
when love’s in the air.
You won’t be sorry.
You answered my prayer.

I see the games that you play.
And I don’t care what the people are saying.
No other love can compare.

Just to hold you in my arms again
I feel like walking on air.
And just to dream you’ll be there keeps me going.
And all those days go by.

We will never be apart again,
knowing our love will never die.

Wait for the summer
when love’s in the air.
We’ll be together this time of the year.

We will never be apart again,
knowing our love will never die.

Here comes the summer
with love in the air (love in the air).
You won’t be sorry.
You answered my prayer (answered my prayer).

Here comes the summer
and everyone’s here (everyone’s here).
We will be sailing
through year after year (year after year).

You know I’m walking on air.
I know I’m walking on air.
You know I’m walking on air.

 I wish there was another year, another time
when people sang and poems rhymed.
My name could be Napoleon.
A thousand ships.
A windy sail, so huge and high,
it’s tall enough to touch the sky.
It’s beautiful but hard to find.
But I just wasn’t born in time.

Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin?
In the brand new street,
you can get a good seat at the end.

I can dream
of growing trees and things that live
and grass that’s green
in meadows that have never been.
But I still place my trust in the Queen.

What is life
when a man is pressured
based on wrong or right?
And I don’t know what it means.
There must be more we haven’t seen.

Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin?
In the brand new street,
you can get a good seat at the end.

Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin?
In the brand new street,
you can get a good seat at the end

Walking back to Waterloo again.

If there’s a time I feel downhearted
I close my eyes and I see you there.
Shower me, my precious love,
With all the good things two people can share.

When it seems like the sky is falling
I need you near me so desperately
‘cause we forget so easily
all the magic two people can be.

Being lonely makes it oh so hard for me to carry on.
Oh, though I know you’re so far away,
I’m reaching for you, needing you both night and day.

Sometimes a man finds out too late
that life slips by each moment we live,
‘cause we don’t know how rare it is
all the loving two people can give.

And though I know you’re so far away,
I’m reaching for you, needing you both night and day.

If there’s a time I feel downhearted
I close my eyes and I see you there.
Shower me, my precious love,
with all the good things two people can share.

I need you near me so desperately

 What would I say if you should turn away from me.
I do not know if there are words that I can see.
I only know that I
am reaching too high.
And who are we to touch the wind
and say our ship
is coming in
the turning tide?
 
Tell me the answer
in your changing mind,
changing mind.
I don’t know
if love can last.
 
When time is gone
and we are on the roundabout,
would you still laugh
and be a clown
when love runs out?
 
Or will you say that I
am reaching too high?
And who are we
to touch the wind
and say our ship
is coming in
the turning tide?

 I’m not the one in search of friction.
I’m not the one to look for fights.
When it gets down to me and you
I think it over twice.
 
We sing the same song
with it all subject to change.
There is another place in time, girl.
You and I will meet again.
 
I saw the signs I never knew.
Didn’t have enough on you to follow through?
Call it innocent or guilty.
Inside you, it’s still me.
 
Ooh, whose word you gonna take?
Whose heart you gonna break?
Not mine.
If I believe your true confessions
I’m never gonna make it.
You know you hurt me for the very last time.
 
I need you, darling, and it tears me apart.
And if someone comes between us
it’s the death of my heart,
it’s the death of my heart.
 
I think about you and I paint a picture.
You wanna love above the law.
And you got a taste for adventure.
It’s what you’re living for.
 
We say the same lies.
Anyone to crucify.
We’re the victims of the same sensations.
I can be as bad as you.
 
I step aside, you can understand.
I won’t stand in the way but I will if I can.
Not to be your judge and jury.
It’s still you inside me.
 
Ooh, whose word you gonna take?
Whose heart you gonna break?
Not mine.
If I believe your true confessions
I’m never gonna make it.
You know you hurt me for the very last time.
 
I need you, darling, and it tears me apart.
And if someone comes between us
it’s the death of my heart,
it’s the death of my heart.
 
My gun is loaded and I’m ready for war.
I come and get you and I kick down the door.
There’s no way, I can’t let you leave.
I’m not working for the enemy. Ah.
 
Ooh, whose word you gonna take?
Whose heart you gonna break?
Not mine….

It’s twelve o’clock and all is well.

Me and my little white mountain goat
And the seas, all fields around
Me and my little white mountain goat
With his eyes all treacle brown.

 Sometimes it’s lying on a beach
Or down an alley out of reach.
Trash, I love it.
 
What other people throw away
I try to save for a rainy day.
Trash, I love it.
 
You see I wasn’t born with much
‘Cept the sun and the moon and such,
 So I handle it all carefully.
Trash is everything to me.
 
The busted strings and ragged ends,
The broken things that no one mends.
Trash, I love it.
 
The schemes that only last a day,
The games I’m just too old to play.
Trash, I love it.
 
But when I feel I’m wearing thin,
Regretting things that might have been,
I settle down quite peaceably.
Trash is everything to me.
 
Sometimes I think I’d like to fly,
Touch a star or reach the sky.
Trash, I love it.
 
But every dream that slips away
The fact that gets me through the day
Trash, I love it.
 
It’s not that I don’t understand,
But when the great things that I’ve planned
Just get wrecked eventually,
 Trash, it’s everything to me.

Night and day,
there’s a burning down inside of me.
Oh. Burning love,
with a yearning that won’t let me be.
Down I go,
and I just can’t take it all alone.

Tuxley’s the town where I’ll make my bread
And money speaks louder than toys

Little trains and railway lines
Satisfy the human mind
Make them big and make them small
Make them wide and make them tall

Put it in a box
near my dirty shoes an socks

I’ll but a top hat

-Do you?

-Would you like to buy that?
