When you're in love with a beautiful woman, it's hard;
When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you know it's hard; Everybody wants her, everybody loves her; Everybody wants to take your baby home; When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you watch your friends; When you're in love with a beautiful woman, it never ends; You, know that it's crazy and you wanna trust her; Then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone; When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you go it alone. Maybe it's just an ego problem; Problem is that I've been fooled before; by fairweather friends and faint hearted lovers; And every time it happens, it just convinces me more; When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you watch her eyes; When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you look for lies; 'Cause everybody tempts her, everybody tells her she's the most beautiful woman they know; When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you go it alone. When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you watch your friends; When you're in love with a beautiful woman, it never ends; When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you watch her eyes; |

I guess the dance is over now So you just curtsey and I'll bow And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne Then I'll just take what's left of me Right back to where it used to be And you'll go sail your magic carpet, far across the sky I wish I could have made it More like the movies for you Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins Did you girl? No you never got to hear those violins, no The castles that you built so high Were just too steep for me to climb And I guess these dirty streets of mine Were just too rough for you I wish I could've helped you see Just one of your sweet childhood dreams But though I tried I could not make not one of them come true And I wish I could have made it More like the movies for you Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins Did you girl? No you never got to hear those violins Oh I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins No you never got to hear those violins (c) 1976 Tro-Essex Music Ltd. |

Mary, if you ever want me, I'll be right here
And Mary, this thing we got is too good to throw away And Mary, I'm just the one to kiss away all your tears So Mary, I'm gonna keep it right here and keep it warm every day Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary The one that's too high for you to climb Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary The rock that you wanted was right here all the time Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary The one that's too high for you to climb Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary The rock that you wanted was right here all the time Mary I know that somewhere, I'm in your mind Mary there's a mountain rising high behind And Mary you think you can climb it, go ahead and try But Mary you go up laughing but you always come down crying Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary The one that's too high for you to climb Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary The rock that you wanted was right here all the time Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary Stop lookin' for your mountain Mary The one that's too high for you to climb The rock that you wanted was right here all the time |

I've got a couple more years on you, babe,that's all.
I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall. And it ain't that I'm wiser - it's only that I've spent more time with my back to the wall. And I've picked up a couple more years on you, baby, that's all. I've walked a couple more roads than you, baby ,that's all. And I'm tired of runnin' while you're only learning to crawl. And you're headin somewhere , but I've been to somewhere and found it was nowhere at all. And I've picked up a couple of years on you baby , that's all. Now sayin' goodbye, girl don't never come easy at all. But you've got to fly 'cuz you're hearin' those young eagles call. And someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and tall. And you'll say I've got a couple more years on you, baby - that's all. I've got a couple more years on you baby , that's all. You'll say I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall. It ain't that I'm wiser it's only that I've spent more time with my back to the wall. And I've picked up a couple more years on you baby, that's all. |

Sal from the valley loved Al from the alley and they lived in harmony Sally played acoustic and Al, he played electric and they both took turns on lead They sang it for their friends, again and again of the places they had been But their favourite song of all was called up on the mountain Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks, that's where you'll find me Gonna leave this worrisome world and it's trouble behind me Up on the mountain, where the light breaks, that's where I'll be I've barely got time to finish this song so say farewell for me Then into the valley came a girl from the galleys, with a strange and smilin' face Al played acoustic and Sally played electric, and the gal played a hell of a bass And when they sang their harmonies, the lady dipped right in She soon moved in and lived with them up on the mountain Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks, that's where you'll find me Gonna leave this worrisome world and it's trouble behind me Up on the mountain, where the light breaks, that's where I'll be I've barely got time to finish this song so say farewell for me Now Al from the alley is gone from the valley, a sadder but wiser man And Sally from the valley and the gal from the galleys they live in mortal sin Sal plays acoustic and the gal plays electric and sometimes they hold hands Late at night you can hear them playing, up on the mountain Up on the mountain, up where the light breaks, that's where you'll find me Gonna leave this worrisome world and it's trouble behind me Up on the mountain, where the light breaks, that's where I'll be I've barely got time to finish this song so say farewell for me Hot lickin' and finger pickin' Say farewell for me (c)1976 Tro-Essex Music Ltd. |

Lately, I've been givin' everything I've got to feeling alone Baby you got me livin' one of them hard luck songs on the radio Oh and I know, if I change the station I'll get the same song Hope it ain't on the top too long 'Cause I really couldn't take it but they kept on playin' it It's too unhappy and too close to home I don't want to hear it but the singer keeps singin' that song I gave you my love, you denied it Then I gave you my life, but you wouldn't stay And I hope you will return it to me someday I gave you my love, you denied it Then I gave you my life but you threw it away And I hope you will return it to me someday Some days I just sit around and kind of dream and watch the rain Or I'll pick up some ol' magazine of yours that I forgot to throw away Then I'll sleep a little or walk the floor, I'll smoke a lot more than I did before I'll call somebody I used to know, just to try to stay away from that radio 'Cause I really can't take it when they keep on playin' it It's so unhappy and so close to home I don't want to hear it but the singer keeps singin' that song I gave you my love, you denied it Then I gave you my life, but you wouldn't stay And I hope you will return it to me someday I gave you my love, you denied it Then I gave you my life but you threw it away And I hope you will return it to me someday I gave you my love, you denied it Then I gave you my life but you threw it away.....

All because his mama was Sadie Jones Cruel words upon him ever since he was young You ain't got no daddy boy you ain't no man's son Children heard the facts at home Talked them up in school Teased him 'til his mind was bent and bruised (you ain't got no daddy Dooley Jones) Weight upon his shoulder A thorn stuck in his soul His body walks and talks But his mind has no control Dooley Jones, Dooley Jones You're no man's son, you're no mans child Spring time satisfaction This infants heart is wild Dooley walks the highways Every day for miles Babbling to birds flying by (Babbling to the birds as they fly by) Somewhere some man hides his eyes 'Cause Dooley is his child Son of seasons pleasure Forever runnin' wild Dooley Jones, Dooley Jones You're no man's son, you're no man's child Spring time satisfaction This infants heart is wild Dooley Jones, Dooley Jones You're no man's son, you're no man's child Spring time satisfaction This infants heart is wild Forever runnin' wild Oh Dooley Forever runnin' wild Spring time satisfaction Ever runnin' wild Forever runnin' wild Ever runnin' wild Forever runnin' wild |

I was sittin' all alone
Watching people get it on with each other They were dancing 'cross the floor Turning, moving back and forth, they were lovers One more lonely night for me I looked up, what did I see? Sexy eyes moving 'cross the floor Got me wanting more sexy eyes Sexy eyes, gettin' down with you I wanna move with you sexy eyes I got up and took your hand And we both began to dance to the music Ooh, your magic cast a spell It didn't take long till we fell and we knew it No more lonely nights for me This is how it's gonna be Sexy eyes moving 'cross the floor Got me wanting more sexy eyes Sexy eyes, gettin' down with you I wanna move with you sexy eyes No more lonely nights for me This is how it's gonna be Sexy eyes moving 'cross the floor Got me wanting more sexy eyes Sexy eyes, gettin' down with you I wanna groove with you sexy eyes Sexy eyes moving 'cross the floor Got me wanting more sexy eyes Sexy eyes, gettin' down with you I wanna groove with you sexy eyes |

Or maybe there's a strange new bug that's been going round 'Cause people are all smiling and waving as I go by Everybody loves me but I don't know why It used to be a kind face was a rarity But now I got friends coming out both ends just to visit me But it don't make sense 'cause my confidence has been destroyed Everybody loves me but I'm paranoid What ever happened to the cold cruel world I used to understand When every road was paved with wet cement Back when if I was hanging off a cliff you'd be walking on my hands Somebody please tell me where all the good times went whooo Every time I needed something, no-one'd ever give me nothing, it'd never fail I had to sit right down and write myself a letter just to get mail But now my ears are singing from the damn ding-a-linging of the telephone Everybody loves me but I'm comin' home What ever happened to the cold cruel world I used to understand When every road was paved with wet cement Back when if I was hanging off a cliff you'd be dancin' on my hands Somebody please tell me where all the good times went whooo Every time I needed something, no-one'd ever give me nothing, it'd never fail I had to sit right down and write myself a letter just to get mail But now my ears are singing from the damn ding-a-linging of the telephone Everybody loves me but I'm comin' home |
