Each day through my window, I watch her as she passes by I say to myself,"You`re such a lucky guy" To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true Out of all the fellas in the world, she belongs to you
But it was just my imagination Running away with me.. It was just my imagination Running away with me.. Oooohhhhhh -
(So) So we`ll be married and raise a family (Oh yeah) A cozy little home out in the country with two children, maybe three I tell you, I - - - can visualize it all This couldn`t be a dream, for too real it all seems
But it was just my imagination (Once again) Running away with me.. Tell you was it was just my imagination Running away with me..
Every night on my knees I pray Dear Lord, hear my plea Don`t ever let another take her love from me or I will surely die.. (I will surely die)
(Mmmm) Her love is.. heavenly When her arms enfold me I hear a tender rhapsody But in reality, She doesn`t even know me..
Just my imagination (Once again) Running away with me.. Oh, tell you was just my imagination Running away with me..
Just my imagination (Ooohh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Running away with me.. Just my imagination Running away with me..
Ah, mercy mercy me Oh things ain't what they used to be, no, no Where did all the blue skies go? Poinson is the wind that blows From the north and south ans east
Oh mercy, mercy me Oh things ain't what they used to be Oil wasted on the ocean and above our seas Fish full of mercury
Oh mercy, mercy me Oh things ain't what they used to be Radiation under ground and in the sky Animals and birds are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me Oh things ain't what they used to be What about this overcrowded land? How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, Lord Oh, Lord
Oh mercy, mercy me Oh things ain't what they used to be Where did all the blue sky go?
People say I'm the life of the party 'Cause I tell a joke or two Although I might be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face You know my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears
Oh I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another guy Looking like I'm having fun Although he might be cute he's just a substitute Because you're the permanent one
So take a good look at my face You know my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears
Outside I'm masquerading Inside my hope is fading I'm just a clown since you put me down My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you
Baby take a good look at my face You know my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears
Woah baby take a good look at my face You know my smile looks out of place If you look closer it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears

I was born in Lil' Rock, Had a childhood sweetheart, We were always hand in hand.
I was hightop shoes and shirt tails, Suzy was in pig tails, I know I loved her even then.
You know my papa disapproved it, My mama boohooed it, But I told them time and time again, "Don't you know I was made to love her, Built a world all around her" Yah! Hey, hey, hey.
She's been my inspiration, Showed appreciation For the love I gave her through the years.
Like a sweet magnolia tree My love blossmed tenderly, My life grew sweeter through the years.
I know that my baby loves me, My baby needs me, That's why we made it through the years.
I was made to love her, Worship and adore her, Hey, hey, hey.
All through thick and thin Our love just won't end, 'Cause I love my baby, love my baby. Ah!
My baby loves me, My baby needs me, And I know I ain't going nowhere.
I was knee high to a chicken When that love bug bit me, I had the fever with each passing year.
Oh, even if the mountain tumbles, If this whole world crumbles, By her side I'll still be standing there.
'Cause I was made to love her, I was made to live for her, yeah!
Ah, I was made to love her, Built my world all around her, Hey, hey, hey.
Oo baby, I was made to please her, You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no, Hey, hey, hey.
Oo wee baby, my baby loves me, My baby needs me, Hey, hey, hey.
I had some problems And no one could seem to solve them But you found the answer You told me to take a chance And learn the way of love, my baby And all that it had to offer In time you will see that love won't let you down
you said that you loved me Said hurt only came to pass me It sounded so convincing That I gave it half a chance And learned the way of love my baby There is so much love inside me And all that I have I give my all to you And all that love is waiting for you And all, all my love is waiting for you All this love is waiting for you And baby all, baby all this love is waiting for you Oh, I love how you make me feel this way My love is getting stronger every day And after all I went and put myself through I found that all I really needed was you
As the sun has its place up in the sky I love you so dearly And all the same, there's no need to wonder why I need you, please hear me
Say you really love me, baby Say you really love me, darling For I really love you baby You know I really love you darling
Say you really love me, baby Say you really love me, darling For I really love you baby Sure enough love you darling
Oh so long for this night I prayed That a star would guide you my way To share with me this special day Where a ribbon's in the sky for our love
If allowed may I touch your hand And if pleased may I once again So that you too will understand There's a ribbon in the sky for our love
Do Do Do Do Do... ...
This is not a coincidence And far more than a lucky chance But what is that was always meant Is our ribbon in the sky for our love, love
We can't lose with God on our side We'll find strength in each tear we cry From now on it will be you and I And our ribbon in the sky Ribbon in the sky Ribbon in the sky for our love..♥
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing
I got your picture hangin' on the wall It can't see or come to me when I call your name I realize it's just a picture in a frame
I read your letters when you're not near But they don't move me And they don't groove me like when I hear Your sweet voice whispering in my ear
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing
I play the game, a fantasy I pretend I'm not in reality I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
No other sound is quite the same as your name No touch can do half as much to make me feel better So let's stay together
I got some memories to look back on And though they help me when you phone I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there
So let me get the real thing So let me get the real thing Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing
Got to be there , got to be there In the morning When she says hello to the world Got to be there , got to be there Bring her good times And show her that she's my girl Oh what a feeling there'll be The moment I know she loves me 'Cause when I look in her eyes I realize I need her sharing her world beside me So I've got to be there Got to be there in the morning And welcome her in to my world And show her that she is my girl When she says,"" hello world"" I need her sharing the world beside me That's why I've got to be there Got to be there where love begins And that's everywhere she goes I've got to be there so she knows That when she's with me , she's home Got to be there Got to be there

War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker It's got one friend That's the undertaker War, has shattered Many a young mans dreams Made him disabled, bitter and mean Life is much to short and precious To spend fighting wars these days War can't give life It can only take it away
Ooooh, war, huh What is it good for Absolutely nothing Say it again y'all
War, whoa What is it good for Absolutely nothing Come on say...
War, whoa Come on shout it y'all What is it good for Absolutely nothing Come on, come on now
And it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker Friend only to the undertaker (Shawn) Peace, love and understanding Tell me, is there no place for them today They say we must fight to keep our freedom But Lord knows there's got to be a better way
Ooooooh, war, huh Good God y'all What is it good for Absolutely nothing Say it again y'all
War, huh What is it good for Absolutely nothing Say it again y'all
