When I think about the good love you gave me,
I cry like a baby. Living without you is driving me crazy, I cry like a baby. Well, I know now that you're not a play thing, Not a toy, or a puppet on a string. As I look back on a love so sweet now, I cry like a baby. Every road is a lonely street, I cry like a baby. I know now that you're not a play thing, Not a toy, or a puppet on a string. Today we passed on a street, And you just walked on by. My heart just fell to my feet, And once again I began to cry. When I think about the good love you gave me, I cry like a baby. Living without you is driving me crazy, I cry like a baby. I know now that you're not a play thing, I cry like a baby. As I look back on a love so sweet now, I cry like a baby. Every road is a lonely street, I cry like a baby. My heart just fell to my feet, you know I cried like a baby. You left the water running now, I cried like a baby. |

I met her in church!
I met her in church, on a Sunday morning She looked at me with eyes of love, as the choir sang, "Hallelujah!" Hallelujah! I met her in church I met her in church; we fell in love on a Sunday morning All at once, I heard angels singing, singing "Hallelujah!" Singing, Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I didn't find her on a Saturday night; I found her in the Sunday morning light I found her on a back row seat In a little church just down the street I met her in church, and I wed her in church Preacher Jones said, "Come here, children Good Lord willing, and the creek don't rise You're going to be happy for the rest of your life! Singing, Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I met her in church; I met her in church I found a love, I found a love! Hallelujah, I found a love? Right there in church, I found a love Singing, Hallelujah! I met her in church; I met her in church Hallelujah! |

The city lights, the pretty lights
They can warm the coldest nights All the people going places Smiling with electric faces What they find, the glow erases And what they lose, the glow replaces And life is love In a neon rainbow A neon rainbow Moving lines, flashing signs Blinking faster than the minds Leading people with suggestions Leaving no unanswered questions You can live without direction And it don't have to be perfection And life is love In a neon rainbow A neon rainbow But in the daytime, everything changes Nothing remains the same No one smiles anymore And no one will open his door until the night time comes And then the city lights, the pretty lights They can warm the coldest nights All the people going places Smiling with the electric faces What they find, the glow erases And what they lose, the glow replaces And life is love In a neon rainbow A neon rainbow A neon rainbow |

We skipped the light fandango, turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick but the crowd called out for more The room was humming harder as the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink, the waiter brought a tray. And so it was, a little later, as the miller told his tale That her face at first just ghostly turned a whiter shade of pale. She said there is no reason and the truth is plain to see That I've wondered through my playing cards, would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open, they might just as well have been closed. And so it was, a little later, as the miller told his tale That her face at first just ghostly turned a whiter shade of pale. And so it was, a little later, as the miller told his tale ... |
