Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been spending my money on other women You've been taking money from someone else I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago Come back home baby, try my love one more time Well your mother

While she up and down on that pole Yeah, drop it down and get low Drop it down and get low, drop it down and get low She said she want a stunner I said, "baby girl, I'm gettin' money" Drop it down, get low, uh-uh, uh-uh Can't forget the girl if I wanted

Feel no shame 'cause time's no chain Feel no shame I thought that I heard someone say now There's no time for running away now Hey now, hey now I hitched a ride with my soul By the side of the road Just as the sky turned black I took a walk with my fame

Somebody to love One day in the life of the lonely What do they need One night in the life of the lonely What did they see Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself Holy father, holy ghost Another day on the round about There's a miracle on the screen

Your time is gonna come Lyin' cheatin' hurtin that's all you seem to do Messin' around with every guy in town Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new Always the same playin' your game Drive me insane trouble is gonna come to you One of these

Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Now you all know The bards and their songs When hours have gone by I'll close my eyes

I was born in Chicago at nineteen and forty-one Well, my first friend went down When I was seventeen years old Well, there's one thing I can say about that boy Well, my second friend went down When I was twenty one years of age Well, now rules are

If you were there you'd know That I care If you were there you'd know I care for you baby You're the one that makes my day a dream come true Yet and still you wander if I think of you You ought to see how the other girls behave when you're not round And

It's easy to remember But so hard to forget So I must dream To have your hand caress me Fingers, press me tight I'd rather dream Than have that lonely feeling Stealing through the night Each little moment

'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman Let me tell you how it will be There's one for you, nineteen for me Should five per cent appear too small Be thankful I don't take it all 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman If you drive a car, I'll tax
