If I hear you knocking hard upon my door, Ain't no way that
I'm gonna answer it. 'Cos cheating is a one thing and lying is another,
And when I say it's over, that's it, I'm gonna quit! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now I ain't complaining, just try'n to understand
What makes a woman do the things she does.
One day she'll love you, the next day she'll leave you, Why can't
we have it, just the way it used to be? Why can't we have it baby.

'Cos I'm a man, I got my pride, I don't need no woman to hurt me inside,
I need a love, like any other; yeah. So go on and leave me,
leave me for another! Good lovin' gone bad, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Good lovin' gone bad, bad, bad, Good lovin' gone bad; yeah.
Baby I'm a bad man, now, now. Oh yes, yes indeed, indeed I am.
Oh oh oh oh yeah, gone bad. Oh oh oh oh.

Now I'm a man, I got my pride, Don't need no woman to hurt me inside,
I need a love like any other, So go on and leave me,
Leave me for another. Good lovin' gone bad, it's gone I say,
Good lovin' gone bad, now now now, Good lovin' gone bad, yeah yeah yeah
And baby I'm a bad man, Good lovin' gone bad,
That's what I want to say, Good lovin' bad, good lovin',
Good lovin' gone bad, Oh, baby I'm a bad man,
Good lovin gone bad, Good lovin' gone bad,
Good lovin' gone bad, I'm a sad man, Don't stand in my way,
'Cause baby I'm a bad man, Yeah, yeah, yeah.......

Baby, when I think about you
I think about love
Darlin’, don’t live without you
And your love
If I had those golden dreams
Of my yesterdays
I would wrap you in the heaven
’till I’m dyin’ on the way

Feel like makin’
Feel like makin’ love
Feel like makin’ love to you

Baby, if I think about you
I think about love
Darlin’ if I live without you
I live without love
If I had the sun and moon
I would give you both night and day
Of satisfyn’

Feel like makin’
Feel like makin’love
Feel like makin love to you

And if I had those golden dreams
Of my yesterdays
I would wrap you in the heaven
’til I’m dyin’ on the way

Feel like makin’ love
Feel like makin’ love
[repeat many times]
Feel like makin’ love to you

Mary, don't you weep no more
Mary, don't you weep no more
'Cause I got your letter today
Pack my bag and I'm on my way
So don't you weep no more
Don't you weep no more

Now dry your eyes, don't you shed no tear
The sun is rising, put away your fears
Well I know I once done you wrong
I want to say I'm sorry and I'm coming back home
So don't you weep no more
Don't you weep no more

I hear your voice in the wind
And I feel your tears in the rain
Shadows of night are falling
Don't you recall your name

'Well I got your letter today
Pack my bag and I'm on my way
So don't you weep no more
Don't you weep, 'Cause I got your letter today
Pack my bag and I'm on my way
So don't you weep no more
Don't you weep no more
Baby, don't you weep no more
Mama, don't you weep no more
Yeah I got your letter today
You know I'll pack my bag, I'm on my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah don't you weep no more, baby
I'm coming home
I'm coming home to you
Baby, don't you weep, don't you weep no more
No no, don't you weep no more
Because I still love you, babe
Don't you weep no more

Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatle song,
'Love me do,' I think it was. From there it didn't take him long.
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night,
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit,

And everything's all right, don't you know?

Johnny told his mama, hey, 'Mama, I'm goin' away. I'm gonna hit the big
time, gonna be a big star someday', Yeah.
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye.
Johnny said, 'Don't cry, mama, smile and wave good-bye'.

Don't you know, yeah yeah, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, don't you know. Don't you know that you are
a shooting star, And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are.

Johnny made a record, Went straight up to number one,
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song.
Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast.
Johnny looked around him and said, 'Well, I made the big time at last'.

Don't you know, don't you know, Don't you know that you are
a shooting star,
Don't you know, oh, yeah, Don't you know that you are
a shooting star, yeah,
And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are, a shooting star.

Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know, yeah,
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, now,
And all the world will love you just as long, As long you are you.

Johnny died one night, died in his bed, Bottle of whiskey,
sleeping tablets by his head. Johnny's life passed him by like a
warm summer day, If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play

Oh oh oh, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, yeah, don't you know', Don't you know that
you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, yeah,
Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you, don't you,
don't you, don't you,
Don't you know, don't you
know, oh, yeah, you are,
Yeah, a shooting star, yeah, oh
oh oh oh oh......
Don't you, don't you know
that you are a shooting star,
Don't you don't you know......

I need love, the kind I've
never known before.
You need it, too, the kind that makes you feel so good, baby.
I want to give, give you all the love you need.
Well, I'm a loner, and that's the way I want to be, Yeah.

Let me say. As the sun climbs across the sky above,

So your smile filled me with a stronger love.
Just as you and I, watchin' the morning sky, oh, yeah.
Somehow I know it's time for me to say goodbye, Yeah, yeah.

Here's why: can't make a deal with the preacher, oh, yeah, yeah.
And I can't make a bargain in heaven, now.

Angel, you came to my window, Angel, you came to my door.
I was a fool and I let you in; I sure ain't no fool anymore!

Yeah, yeah, you better believe me right now baby.

Oh, yeah.

As the sun climbs across the sky above,
So your smile, filled me with a stronger love, mm.
Just as you and I, we're watchin' the morning sky,
And somehow I know, it's time for me to say goodbye.

I can't make a deal with the preacher, you know yeah.
And I can't make a bargain in heaven, yeah, yeah.

Heaven knows me by now.
I can't make a deal, oh no, no, no,
no.
I love you baby, I love you baby.
I can't make a deal, make a deal, make a deal,
Make a deal, make a deal. Yeah, yeah.
You know and I can't make no bargain in heaven,
Listen, I can't make a deal, make a deal, make a deal,
Make a deal, make a deal, oh, oh.
And I can't make no bargain in heaven, oh yeah.

Make a deal...

I'm gonna drive my car, way
across the border,
'Cos she's the only one, she keeps my mind in order.
I'm not a bad man, but I know
where I stand:
If I have your love, gotta have your love in my hand.

Yeah, come on boys......

It takes a good man, yeah, to know
a good woman.
I ain't so much a good man as one who needs loving.
I'm a driving down the highway getting closer to your love,
I'm going pretty fast now, but it ain't fast enough.

Listen.
Wild fire shooting thru my veins,
Burns a fever to my brain.
Wild fire woman, something
you got,
I start to shiver when you do that,
Do that baby, now.

It takes a good man, to know a good woman.
I ain't so much a good man as one who needs loving.
So I'm a burning up the freeway, ain't nothing in sight,
You know it takes a whole lotta loving,
To keep me driving all night, hey.

Wild fire shooting thru my veins,
Burns a fever to my brain.
Wild fire woman, something you got,
I start to shiver when you do that,
Do that baby.
Wild fire shooting thru my veins,
Burns a fever to my brain, oh.
Wild fire woman, something you got,
I start to shiver when you do that.
Wild fire shooting thru my veins,
Burns a fever to my brain.
Wild fire woman, something you got,
I start to shiver when you do that,
do that, baby. Do that, do that, baby.

I start to shiver and shake, I just can't wait,
I start to shiver and shake,
I just can't wait.
I start to shiver and shake, ha, now baby,
I just can't wait, driving down the highway,
Yeah, yeah, oh.
I'm driving all night......

I got a sweet little angel and I love her so
She's there when I need her, she understands when I say go
In the night, when she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strong
Living with her unfolds me, she gives me strength to carry on

I don't need anyone else
If I did I would be fooling myself
Anna, Anna

And I know if she left me, my world would turn cold
She's the best liitle lady that a man could ever hold
When I'm down, she knows what to say
She clears my blindness away
And in the night, she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strong

I don't need nobody else
If I did I would be fooling myself
Anna, Anna

I found me a simple woman, yeah yeah
A simple woman
I have found me a simple woman, oooh yeah
A simple woman for a simple man
I found me a simple woman,
A simple woman, oh yeah yeah yeah

When the rain is falling and you feel like you are a stranger
And the time is passing you by is a lonely time and you want to fly
Call on me, call on me
Call on me, call on me
I'll be by your side

When you turn around, needing somebody there
Who can give you love and show you good care
If there's a place inside you that's empty and cold
You may need my love, to have, to hold
Call on me, call on me
Call on me, call on me
I'll be by your side
To keep you satisfied

I want to keep you satisfied

Call on me, call on me
Call on me, call on me
I'll be by your side
To keep you satisfied

When the clear light of a winter's day
Blows cold and hard and the future is grey
You can always have the fire of love
To keep you warm as the sun above
Call on me, call on me
Call on me, call on me
I'll be by your side
To keep you satisfied
I'll be by your side
To keep you satisfied

Don't worry about the rain, baby
I'll keep you dry
I'll keep you warm inside
And satisfied

Don't worry about the rain
I'll keep you dry, I'll keep you dry
Call on me, baby, call on me, baby
