Well, just look at that girl with the lights comin' up in her eyes She's got to be somebody's baby She must be somebody's baby Cause all the guys on the corner stand back and let her walk on by
She said she's got to be somebody's baby She must be somebody's baby She's got to be somebody's baby She's so fine ....
She's probably somebody's only light Gonna shine tonight Oh yeah, she's probably somebody's baby, all right
I heard her talkin' with her friend when she thought nobody else was around She said she's got to be somebody's baby She must be somebody's baby 'Cause when the cars and the signs and the street lights light up the town
She's got to be somebody's baby She must be somebody's baby She's got to be somebody's baby She's so fine ....
She's gonna be somebody's only light Gonna shine tonight Oh yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight
I try to shut my eyes, but I can't get her out of my sight I know I'm gonna know her, but I can't get over my fright Well, I'm just gonna walk up to her I'm gonna talk to her tonight
Oh, yeah!
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's only light Gonna shine tonight Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight
I could tell from the minute I woke up It was going to be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day. Rise and shine rub the sleep out of my eyes And try to tell myself I can't go back to bed It's gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day. Even though the sun is shining down on me and I should feel about as happy as can be I just got here and I already want to leave It's gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day
Everybody knows that something's wrong But nobody knows what's going on We all sing the same old song When you want it all to go away It's shaping up to be a lonely day
I could tell from the minute I woke up it was going to be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day.
I'll light the fire You place the flowers in the vase that you bought today
staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you play your love songs all night long for me only for me
come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes Everything is good Such a cosy room The windows are illuminated by the evening sunshine through them fiery gems for you only for you
Our house is a very, very, very fine house with two cats in the yard Life used to be so hard Now everything is easy 'cause of you and la, la, la, la, la...

Everybody in this place can up and move away For all I care this town's already dead and empty I'm told that I'm a victim of obsession That's what my friends say Oh I'm a fool for having ever let her tempt me
Well I turn pale when she walks by I am lost in her eyes She is always on my mind She is always on my mind
She glances over but she keeps on walking down that street All I can do is hope that she is thinking of me If I could blink if I could breathe If I could get my legs to move Well this could be the day I get this girl to love me
Well I turn pale when she walks by I am lost in her eyes She is always on my mind She is always on my mind She had turned from a sound, Well I must have cried out loud She is always on my mind She is always on my mind
I could tell from the minute I woke up It was going to be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day. Rise and shine rub the sleep out of my eyes And try to tell myself I can't go back to bed It's gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day. Even though the sun is shining down on me and I should feel about as happy as can be I just got here and I already want to leave It's gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day

Goodness sometimes things get bad But I swear I'm doing all I can So try all you want to I'm gonna try too
If I get one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand Maybe we can be happy again I'll try for one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand Maybe we can be happy and then...
Things don't go as I planned But I swear I'm doing all I can So try all you want to I'm gonna try too
If I get one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand Maybe we can be happy again I'll try for one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand And I guess if this isn't the end Maybe we can be happy again
I woke up today A song was swimming in my head And I hummed it to myself As I got out of bed And on the way to take a shower It all just dawned on me That a song like this just might go down in history I quickly ran back to get my guitar, a pen and some paper -chorus- Cause this whole world Needs an anthem And I'm trying to put the words where they belong Yeah, this whole world Needs an anthem And I'm hoping everyone will sing along Well I quickly got to work And put the song in gear And my neighbor rang the doorbell Said it caught his ear I was playing it so loud The whole neighborhood could hear And at night from every household It became quite clear Everyone just singing along The same notes the same song Maybe I heard it wrong -chorus- Everyone was singin along The same notes The same song Maybe i heard that wrong -chorus until fade-
Oh yeah it started today in a cloud If I was the sun I would shout I've got so much shining left before I'm out Yeah it began with a spark then a flame grew into a fire and spread out again And I just woke up here surrounded by the whole thing
Well, we have got to get out of here In our darkest hour When we may not make it
I can't see a thing through the smoke and if I could breathe I'd try not to choke No where to run no where to hide no where to go Sometimes I get stuck yeah I get so upset I burn at the ends I learn to regret Just one toss of that faithful cigarette
Well, we have got to get out of here In our darkest hour I think the end is near I can feel it We have got to get out of here In our darkest hour When we may not make it
Here they come the business men like a herd of cattle rumbling in The exchange has officially begun Now all the offices are buzzing the executives are busy bees They watch the gears turn in the employees They just Turn Smile Shift Repeat There's a crowd forming on Wallstreet near the tallest building on the block A suit has lost his fortune to the stocks There was no time to see his fatal flaw the madness set in with the loss Now he cuts at throats to watch the heads fall off They just Turn Smile Shift Repeat
Decimal points and dollar signs taxes penalties and fines He's come to cut you down Numbers passwords protocol it's not enough to save your soul He's come to cut you down Bring you right back to zero They just Turn Smile Shift Repeat
Well let me tell you I have seen a monster age of seventeen Who'll let you in to kick you out and knows what love is "all about"
Hey now girl I see you walking by And long ago you used to stop and talk now you just wink your eye and I'm surprised you look all grown up A champagne glass next to a paper cup I stopped you just to say it Hey now girl
Her tongue is black haven't you heard her mutter those three dirty words For all those foolish boys to hear like a siren bringing ships so near
Hey now girl I see you walking by And I remember how you used to smile or how hard you used to try It's in your eyes and I'm in a trance A winter chill next to a spring romance I stopped you just to say it Hey now girl
It cursed us all on our way home We passed the sights like passing stones And I will never go back there again The tourists and the army men The prostitutes this evening Will start to sink under my skin The dust and sand is what they sell The flashing lights and ringing bells A wish as far as I can tell Inside this dried up wishing well He is the shrieks I am the fear That yelling man rings in my ears Out of his mind he's my conscience Hour after hour pill after pill He is my bellyache I've taken so much medicine to kill I know there's something wrong 'Cause this night just drags on and on The clock still says it won't be long 'Til all your hard earned money's gone The dust and sand is what they sell The flashing lights and ringing bells A wish as far as I can tell Inside this dried up wishing well And I will never go back there again The tourists and the army men The prostitutes this evening Will start to sink under my skin The dust and sand is what they sell The flashing lights and ringing bells A wish as far as I can tell Inside this dried up wishing well
We've be on the run driving in the sun Looking out for number one California, here we come Right back where we started from Well, hustlers grab your guns The shadow weighs a ton Driving down the 101 California, here we come Right back where we started from California..

Here we come California.. Here we come California.. Here we come California.. Here we come California.. Here we come California.. Here we come
