And I can show you the way It's just a game we play It's easy, takin' it day by day I've got no place to be And no one I'd rather see I won't hide if you decide To let me be your man

We gotta get out of this place If it's the last thing we ever do Now my girl you're so young and pretty Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin' He's been workin' and slavin' his life away (Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!) Girl, there's

That was on your place in bed I've got a mind to give up living And go shopping instead That's when I decided that I'd be better off dead Pick me up a tombstone And be pronounced dead Well, I read your letter this morning Oh, when I read your letter this

Sometimes I feel very sad I guess I just wasn't made for these times Each time things start to happen again I think I've got something good going for myself But what goes wrong I've been looking for a place to fit Where I can speak my mind I've been

Come along to the riverside. Sit down now I just want to hear somebody else whine If you've got tomorrow, I've got a blade We can dig a hole into an old book Keep our secrets there I know of another place beneath some overgrown vine. I can cut them back

Well, then a 'nuff gettoh youths no have no place to go Live night and day roaming in the gettoh Nuff gettoh youths ain't got no place of their own Give them some place that they can call their home Well, then a 'nuff politions telling poor people lies

We found love in a hopeless place Yellow diamonds in the light And we're standing side by side As your shadow crosses mine It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny But I've gotta let it go What it takes to come alive Shine a light through an open door

(now baby tell what you wanna do with me) Let me take you to a place nice and quiet There ain't no one there to interrupt Ain't gotta rush I just want to take it nice and slow See I've been waiting for this for so long We'll be makin' love until the sun

I got it bad, and that ain't good Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you Embrace me, you irreplaceable you Baby, just one look at you My heart goes tipsy in me You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me Oh, I love all Oh, those many Oh, charms about you,

Where was I before you came around I was drifting, no place to call home Without you lovin' me You give me someone to believe in Staring out the window Watching the night turn into day It's 4 in the morning I've got so many things to say I've been out
