Paul Revere & The Raiders - The Legend Of Paul Revere [compilation] (1990) by Paul Revere & The Raiders (보컬) on maniadb.com

The words mean, I am a truthful man
From the land of the palm trees
And before dying, I want to share the poems of my soul
My poems are soft green,
My poems are also flaming crimson
My poems are like a wounded fawn
Seeking refuge in the forest
The last verse says "con los pobres de la tierra"
With the poor people of this earth
I want to share my fate
The streams of the mountain
Pleases me more than the sea

Well, I had to leave town because of Uncle Sam's deal, ha ha ha yeah
Well, I guess my good lovin' done lost its appeal
Because when I called back I heard a-bad bad news
They say our big romance has been gettin' abuse
Now tell the truth, don't lie to me
Have you been step, step, step, step, step, step, steppin' out on me?
I've got ways of findin' out if you've been steppin' out on me
It's my turn, let me give you a piece of my mind

I told you once, I told you twice
You're kind of rowdy after walkin' on ice
Turn your loop in, do what I want you to do
Stop your messin' now or I'm gonna step out on you
Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey hey!

If I can't be your one & only man
I'm gonna call your daddy to give him back your hand
I'm gonna call the preacher, tell the choir stay home
I guess you're the kind of woman that's just 'bout to roam
Now tell me true, don't lie to me
Have you been step, step, step, step, step, step, steppin' out on me?
Tell the truth, child; you've been steppin' out on me
I gotta know in my heart if you've been steppin' out on me
I'll be checkin' with all your friends if you've been steppin' out on me
Better tell me the truth honey; have you been steppin' out on me?
Yeah I'm gonna check; no more stuff or I'll be steppin' out on you
(more talk, fading out)

It's just like me
To say to you
Love me do
And I'll be true
And what I'd like
For you to say
Is you'll come home
To me each day

Hiku be my girl
That's what I want
Just you sweet thing
And not a thing
It's just like me
To feel so good
And fall so much

In love with you

It's just like me
It's just like me
I'm actin' the fool
That's how I'll be
But it's just like you
To say goodbye
And leave me all

Alone at night, waah!

It's just like me [Repeat to Fade]

Forget about your Hemi's and your GTO's
I've got a new machine, and she really gos.
When I pass you up on the drag strip you'll know darn well
You've been beat by a porcupine V8 Chevelle

Taching it up now, you better be quick
Cus' nothing can outrun my SS 396.

There's lots of chrome goodies sitting under the hood
She looks real pretty, like a tough one should.
On the redline tires, she sits real mean
She's the coolest hot one... you've ever seen
Crusing the highways, getting my kicks
Everyone's checking out my SS 396

Look at her go (look at her go)
She sits real low (she sits real low)
Dealer tires grip the road
Her deep breathing fours (deep breathing fours)
And they'll never settle short (never settle short)
Feel the rear end grab the load

Take you for a ride man, it's really a treat
Strap yourself into a bucket seat.
The four speed tranny is starting to whine
You'll know about the Super Sport
Once we get off the line

Crusing the highway, getting my kicks
Nothing can match my...SS 396

Look at her go (look at her go)
She sits real low (she sits real low)
Dealer tires grip the road
Her deep breathing fours (deep breathing fours)
And they'll never settle short (never settle short)
Feel the rear end grab the load

Take you for a ride man, it's really a treat
Strap yourself into a bucket seat.
The four speed tranny is starting to whine
You'll know about the Super Sport
Once we get off the line

Nothing can match my...SS396
SS 396
SS 396
SS 396
SS 396

Girl, you thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night
But when you wake up in the mornin' the world still gets you uptight
Well, there's nothin' that you ain't tried
To fill the emptiness inside
But when you come back down, girl
Still ain't feelin' right

Chorus:
(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

No, but not with kicks
You just need help, girl

Well you think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise
But it ain't happened yet, so girl, you better think twice
Don't you see no matter what you do
You'll never run away from you
And if you keep on runnin'
You'll have to pay the price

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

No, you don't need kicks
To help you face the world each day
That road goes nowhere
I'm gonna help you find yourself another way

Chorus:
(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
(You just need help, girl)
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

[repeat chorus to fade

girl you got this need to know what I'm all about

there was something that you dig you can't figure out

now you want to know what moves my soul

and what dips inside of my brain

well I got this need I just can't control (with "ooh")

and it's driving me insane

I can't take it, ow, because I'm


hungry for those good things baby

hungry through and through

I'm hungry for that sweet life baby

with a real fine girl like you
(rif, fast)
I can almost taste it baby
and it's sweet as wine



there's a custom-tailored world that I want to own, someday

with a special place of hiding we can stay alone, you and me

girl I'm gonna' have it all someday if you'll just hang on to my hand

if I break some rules along the way, you gotta' understand (with "ooh")

it's my way of gettin' what I want now, 'cause I'm hungry



(add following lines:)
well I ain't gonna' waste it now
when it's finally mine

(chords like intro:)

'till I've had my fill, ah girl I'll be rollin' in it

yes, yes you know I

will, yes I will, wahhh!

I was down in L.A. town, when our manager said "Jump"
I through my close and my saxophone in a two by four bit trunk
I pushed it to the airport and run to the ticket line
Man said "Son, you could have saves the run, those airplanes just quit flyin'"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home, umm, huum

I ran to the terminal building, to fly by my airline
The man said I could ride the wing and I said that was fine
He said "I'll confirm your reservation, and put the plane on hold"
He came back and said "Sorry but that wing space just been sold"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home, umm, huum, baby

I walked into the washroom and I built myself a fire
Throw on lots of paper and the flames kept gettin' higher
The janitor come runnin' in, so scare his face was white
So, I explained my situation, he said "That's all right"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home

Next day I thought that I would leave, so I packed my thing again
Waited 14 hours for a taxi to come in
Spotted one that wasn't full and I threw myself in fast
The driver said "I'm sorry but this taxi's out of gas"

If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home

Shh, ahh
Seems this worlds got you down
Your feelin' bad vibrations frown
Well, open your eyes girl, look at me
I'm gonna show you how it ought to be

We're gonna' have a good thing
Such a good thing baby

And when your world don't seem just right
And life's gettin' you uptight
You can change that wrong to right (wrong to right)
Cause I was there myself last night (there last night)

Girl, I really had a good thing
Such a good thing baby
I, I, I won't have no one now
No one around, to bring you down
Well...groovy world, girl
Let me bring you to a good, good, good, good thing girl

Gotta hear me, you can't please them all, should you try
They don't care if you live or die
Cause their losers, what a shame (what a shame)
I'm gonna show you to a brand new game (brand new game)

Girl, we're gonna have a good thing
Such a good thing, baby

I won't tell you no,no, no lies
When I'm through, you'll realize
For the first time it seems right (feels so right)
I'm gonna stay right here tonight (stay tonight)

Girl, we'll really have a good thing
Such a good thing, baby

Nobody, no one around, to bring you down
Well...groovy world, girl
Let me bring you to a good, good, good, good thing
Such a good thing, girl
Such a good thing, baby
Such a, such a, such a, good thing, baby

Now, things was looking golden, baby
Everything was fine
You never made no sign
That you had changed your mind

I guess I was mistaken, girl
To count so on you
What else could I do
Time to pay my dues

Well girl, I've been torn up before
But I can't handle that once more
Well I been down for a long long time
And now it's time to reach my mind
There's lots of pain upon this earth
Girl, I've had my money's worth
I have had my ups and downs and all around

Girl, I've tried to change your way of thinkin'
Tried to make you see
Well, livin' here with me
Is where you ought to be

But it didn't seem to make no difference
It never changed your world
Or stopped your social twirl
You're still the same old girl

And now, I've been torn up before
But I can't handle that once more
I been down for a long long time
But now it's time to reach my mind
'Cause there's lots of pain upon this earth
And girl, I've had my money's worth
I have had my ups and downs and all around

I've been up, down, all around now baby
I've been up, I been down, I been all around now baby
Yeah we've both been up and down and all around baby
You go up, you go down, you go all around now baby
Yes, I'm up, I'm down, all around now baby
Up and down and all around

I had a dream
I had a dream
Had myself a dream today
The same one
Havin' it most every day now
Since you been gone
Wake up in the mornin' and I find
You're not in my room
You're in my mind
Suddenly the sun has lost its shine
Baby, baby, baby
I had a dream
I had a dream

I had a dream
I had a dream
Had myself a dream tonight
The same one
Havin' it most every day now
Since you been gone
All alone upon a mountain high
Lookin' at your pictures in the sky
Turned around and looked into your eyes
Baby, baby, baby
I had a dream
I had a dream

Read the news in the Times today...said the world is goin' round (world is
goin' round)
I don't care what somebody said, somebody always puts 'em down (always puts
'em down)
Red or yellow, black or white?
Are you left-handed or are you right?
When you open your eyes can you see the light?
Do you wake up screamin' in the middle of the ni-i-i-ight?

Too much talk, and not enough action
Do you know anybody gettin' satisfaction?
Everbody wonders 'bout the crowd's reaction.
And the world gets better by a very small fraction.

Turn around til you see a face and it won't be very long (Won't be very long)
Someone soon will be in your place and it won't be very wrong (won't be very
wrong)
Red or yellow, black or white.....


Now's our chance to change the world,
Change the world with love, with love...

Let me, let me, let me
Baby don't you get me
Let me, let me, let me
Baby don't you get me
Come on baby, don't you get me
Come on baby, won't you let me

Can't you see what I'm trying to do
Doing my best to try to get to you
Don't you hear what I'm trying to say
All the right words but still you run away
Come on, come on baby don't you get me
Alright, don't it seem that when you love somebody
Ain't it right that somebody loves you too
But I know my love is going somewhere
But I'm sure it ain't being got by you
And it's true won't you try, won't you try
Let me, let me, let me
Baby don't you get me
Come on baby, don't you get me
Come on baby, won't you let me

They took the whole Cherokee Nation
And put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife

They took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

They took the whole Indian Nation
And locked us on this reservation
And though I wear a shirt and tie
Im still a red man deep inside

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

But maybe someday when they learn
Cherokee Nation will return
Will return
Will return
Will return
Will return

I remember back a long time ago,
In the days of my childhood.
In the evening when the sun was sinking low,
Walking in the wildwood.
Skippin' and flippin' through the flowers,
We'd go hand in hand.
Looking back on all the happy hours,
Anyone could understand.

[Chorus]
You and me, babe.
Sure 'nuff got to be, babe,
Birds of a feather.
We should be together
Like birds of a feather.
Got to be together
Like birds of a feather.

You and I didn't have a lot of friends,
Didn't have too much to say.
So they never would let us join in,
All the games they used to play.
Seems like it was only yesterday,
Down at Lincoln Junior High.
I remember what the kids used to say,
As we'd go strolling by.

[Chorus]

Time goes rolling by.
They say that you and I must go our separate ways.
But birds of a feather will always be together.

Your folks didn't want me hanging 'round.
Said that I was bad for you.
So we'd meet on the other side of town,
Down a long dark avenue.
But they can't keep the two of us apart,
As long as you really love me,
I got a feeling way down in my heart,
That's the way it's gonna be.

[Chorus]
