Wish I could see through
See deep into you
And know what you're thinking now
And if I were to need it
I need some kind of sign
Let me know cuz I can't read your mind

Are you in?
Or am I in this on my own?
I need some clue from you
Let me know babe

(CHORUS)
Do you feel you?
Do you read me?
Tell me am I gettin through to you
I wanna know,
are you with me?
Are you listenin?
Baby, is my message gettin through?
Do it me baby, oh babe, cuz I can feel you

You play it so cool
Won't let nothin' show through
Won't show what you're feelin now, no
And you like to keep keepin' me
Keeping me here in the dark
And I can't see through into your heart
Let me in, in on this mystery
Cuz I just can't stay in this guessing game

(CHORUS)

And don't keep me hangin on the line, baby
Tell me if you want me
And if you don't just let me know
Just answer one question
Don't keep me here guessing
Tell me now

(CHORUS)

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I was the third brother of five
Doing whatever I had to do to survive
I'm not saying what I did was all right
Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day-to-day fight

Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind
But I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester

Across 110th Street
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Across 110th Street
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh, baby
Across 110th Street
You can find it all in the street

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh

I got one more thing I'd like to talk to y'all about right now

Hey, brother, there's a better way out
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope, man, you're copping out
Take my advice, it's either live or die
You got to be strong if you want to survive

The family on the upper side of town
Would catch hell without a ghetto around
In every city you'll find the same thing going down
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town
Help me sing it

Across 110th Street
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Oh, across 110th Street
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh, baby
Across 110th Street
You can find it all
In the street
Yes, you can

Oh, look around you, look around you
Look around you, look around you
Yeah
Yeah

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Good GOD almighty

The other day a friend of mine said
He said, the sun's not really yellow
He said, the sun is really red

I said, my friend, what do you mean?
You read that in some magazine?
Next thing you'll say the earth's not green

How can I be sure of you?
When you know the world's always changing
Rearranging, always changing, changing

I said, my friend, how do you do
And what you're saying isn't true
The next thing you'll say the earth is blue

He said, my friend, you're in a dream
And things are never what they seem
Oh, things are never what they seem

How can I be sure anymore?
When the world's always changing
Rearranging, changing

You can climb a mountain
You can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire
But you'll never be free

You can shake me up
Or I can break you down
Whoa-o-o-o-, whoa-o-o-o-

We can make each other happy (4X)
(Repeat entire 3 times more)
You can jump into the fire (4X)

If you''re fond of sand dunes and salty air

Quaint little villages here and there

(You''re sure)You''re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

(Cape Cod, that old Cape Cod)

If you like the taste of a lobster stew

Served by a window with an ocean view

(You''re sure)You''re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

Winding roads that seem to beckon you

Miles of green beneath a sky of blue

Church bells chimin'' on a Sunday morn

Remind you of the town where you were born

If you spend an evening you''ll want to stay

Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay

You''re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

(aah, aah)

If you spend an evening you''ll want to stay (on Cape Cod Bay)

Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay

You''re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

You''re sure to fall in love

You''re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

There was a time when we could dance until the quarter till ten,
we never thought it would end then, we ever thought it would end,
We used to carry on a drink and do the rock and roll, we never thought we'd get older,
we never thought it'd grow cold, but now

Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home before the morning comes.
What if I'm late, gotta big day, gotta get home beore the sun comes up
Up and away, got big day, sorry can't stay, I gotta run run yeah
gotta get home, pick up the phone, I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late

Down by the sea she knew a seller who had been to war,
she never even knew a seller before, she never even knew his name
He'd come to town and you would pound him for a coupl of days,
nd then he said across the bubbly waves and hose were happier days, But now

Gotta get up, gottat get out, getta get home before the mooorning comes.
What if I'm late, gotta big day,gotta get home beorethe sun comes up
Up and away, got big day sorry can't stay I gotta run run yeah
gotta get home pick up the phone, I gotta let the people know I'm gonna be late
