Anybody's Answer If you find yourself looking for someone To make good the bad things that you've done Now do you think you're looking straight ahead? And will you find the answer when you're dead? Well then you should listen now to me And I'll tell you how I think it should be No one tells you why you're here to live Ane this is why it's you who must forgive No! You can't kill your brother... No! Because you love each other... No! You can't steal his pennies... No! 'Cause you didn't leave him any Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh... Ahhhhhhhhhh... And if reason tells you not to live But you feel there's something left to give You can't leave this place until it's done So you'll see one more rising of the sun Sun Sun...

Heartbreaker Once I had a little girl Sometimes I think about her But you know she's not really there When memories do call I just, I just can't live without her But tryin' all the time is so hard to bear Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker is bringing me down Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker, bringing me down I don't cry no more I live while I'm flying But I'll think back And you can hear me say: Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker, bringing me down Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker, bringing me down Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker, bringing me down Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker, bringing me down Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker, bringing me doWn Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker, bringing me down Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker, bringing me down Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker, bringing me down |
Call Yourself a Man Everybody's laughin' loud as it can be But please don't point your finger, especially not at me 'Cause I'm not tryin' to be somebody, just do what I can But you just keep on laughin', call yourself a man I'm not lookin' for somebody to defend my case I've been scorned by more than one so stop this paper chase If you can't accept me just for what I am Go ahead reject me, call yourself a man Tell me who you're foolin', is it not yourself? Go ahead be cool and, I'll just be myself And if you can't accept me just for what I am Go ahead reject me, call yourself a man |
Can't Be Too Long Ahhhhh... Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... The heat of a summer day Poundin' down on my back Work like a dog in the sunlight Tryin' to pay the people back I killed a man in the spring time Had to work hard just to make a dime To buy my baby the things that she needs I guess I didn't think twice And now I have to pay the price For killing a man of another creed Ahhhhh... Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... I guess I'll have to be strong The rest of my life can't be too long I know I'll die some day And be going far away And you won't remember the things that I've done I feel a shedding tear It's only been a year But I know I'll be dead when that evening comes Ahhhhh... Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... I guess I'll have to be strong The rest of my life can't be too long Ahhhhh... Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh... |
Ups and Downs If you can feel it keep on tryin', 'Cause that's the way it's got to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's comin' down and I ain't buyin', It's gonna' take a long time, to catch up with me. And when you notice your condition, Maybe you'll want to stay with me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then we can find the true definition, The answer's here, right here with me. Row, row, row your boat... Row, row, row your boat... Row, row, row your boat... Row, row, row your boat... Row, row, row your boat... Row, row, row your boat... Row, row, row your boat... Row, row, row your boat...
