Now I ain't lookin'
To compete with you
Beat on, cheat on, mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy, mystify you

CHORUS:
All I really want to do
Is baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you

Now I ain't lookin'
To fight with you
Frighten you or uptight you
Drag you down or drain you down
Chain you down or bring you down

Chorus

I ain't lookin' to block you up
Dock or rock or lock you up
Analyze you, categorize you
Finalize or advertise you

Chorus

I don't want to straight- face you up
Race or chase or track or trace you
Or disgrace you or displace you
Or define you or confine you

Chorus

Now I don't want to meet your kin
Make you spin or do you in
Or select you or dissect you
Or inspect you or reject you

Chorus





. . .



When I look up from my pillow
I dream you are there with me
Though you are far away
I know you always be near to me

CHORUS:
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I look around me and feel
That you are ever so close to me
Those tears that fall from my eyes
Bring back memories of you and me

Chorus

I was wrong, I was right
I will love you till the day I die
You alone, you alone and no one else
You were meant for me

When morning comes once more
I have the loneliness you left me
Each day drags by until night
Finally descends on me

Chorus



. . .



Saw him today
I saw his face, it was the face I love
And I knew I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away but still they begin

Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Hey I thought I was smart
I'd won his heart
I didn't think I'd lose
But I see she worst to him than me
Let him go ahead take her love instead
And one day he will see
Just how to say please

Wow and get down on his knees
That's how it begins
Hurtin' him hurtin' him
Why can't I stop and tell myself
It's wrong so wrong
Why can't I stand up
Tell myself to be strong

Because I saw him today
I saw his face it was the face I love
I can't let go, although I know
He'll make me cry until the day I die

But people I got to live now
Wow Lord knows I should forgive now
That's how they begin
You'll feel those needles and pins

Somebody stop'em now
Stop those needles and pins
Somebody take'em away now
Stop those needles and pins
(Repeat and fade)

She Thinks I Still Care

[No lyrics]

. . .



I found the boy for me
He's my dream baby

He doesn't know that I
That I almost die when
When he walks by & says hello
He's unlike the guys in books, he's
Not really great on looks, but
But I don't care, I love him so

CHORUS:
And I feel so good whenever he's around
Feel so good when he's around
Wo oh oh oh, I dream of him each night, I
Dream that he holds me tight &
Somehow make that dream come true

I'm gonna pray for the
Pray for the day he says
"Hey, pretty baby, I love you"

(1st 2 lines of chorus)

(instrumental)

(repeat chorus minus the starting "And I")

I'm gonna pray for the
Pray for the day he says
"Baby, I love you"

(repeat & fade):
Wo oh oh, wo oh oh, "I love you"

[No lyrics]

. . .



I'll send away all my false pride
And I'll forsake all of my life
Yes I'll be as true as true can be
If you'll come and stay with me

All lovers of the past, I'll leave behind
They'll never be another on my mind
I'll do all I can so you'll feel free
If you'll come and stay with me

The promise I made most faithfully
I'll keep still if you decide to leave
I'll try and see that you have all you need
If you'll come and stay with me

Yes I'll be as true as true can be
If you'll come and stay with me

Live a life no others have ever known
But I know you think that I'm hardly grown
Oh thank God at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me
I can see you're gonna stay with me

CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP
WRITER MIKE GORDON

Every night I lay my head
On my pillow on my bed
And I just cry myself to sleep
I know I shouldn't cry
Over words that were all lies
But still I cry myself to sleep
Each night I fight the tears
But still they fall
And all the memories linger on
He's gone he's gone
And now there's nothing but to cry
Cry myself to sleep
Still I cry myself to sleep
Each night I fight those tears
But still they fall
And all the memories linger on
He's gone he's gone he's gone
And now there's nothing but to cry
Ah, cry myself to sleep
Ah, cry myself to sleep
Ah, cry myself to sleep

. . .


How many roads most a man walk down
Before you call him a man ?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand ?
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea ?
Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
