Jackie Lomax Album

You got your own way of walkin'
You make some people follow you
Let your heart do the talkin'
'Cause it knows just what to do.
Yes - you're the one
Who knows where love comes from
You keep on turnin' me on
With a love affair that goes on an' on.

You have your own direction
But, sometimes, you follow mine
You don't need no correction
You seem perfect every time.
You're the kind
Who captures space and time
Straight from the heart to the mind
You keep on doin' it, time after time.

You're a 'One-of-a-kind' kinda lover
An' I love when you do what you do.
Don't need no sometime kinda lover
Just someone warm like you
An' you always come through when I needed you to.

Yes, you're the kind
Who captures space and time
Straight from the heart to the mind
You keep on doin' it, time after time.

You got your own way of walkin'
You make some people follow you
You let your heart do the talkin'
'Cause it knows just what to do.
Yes - you're the one
Who knows where love comes from
You keep on turnin' me on
With a love affair that goes on an' on.

A flash of sunshine on an icy day
Maybe just enough to blow my blues away
A little shelter in a raging storm
Maybe just enough to keep me safe an' warm
Just a little bit-o-your love - will surely help
Just a little bit-o-your love ' is gonna help me help myself.
Just a little bit-o-your love - just a little bit-o-your love
Just a little bit-o-your love - will do.

Cash money when I really need
Make a true-friend of a friend indeed
A little music when I'm feelin' blue,
Maybe just enough to make me think of you.
Just a little bit-o-your love - will surely help
Just a little bit-o-your love - is gonna help me help myself.
Just a little bit-o-your love - just a little bit-o-your love
Just a little bit-o-your love - will do.

Just enough to turn on a light
Just enough to make it alright
Just enough to set me straight
Just enough to know it ain't too late

Just a little bit-o-your love - will surely help
Just a little bit-o-your love - is gonna help me help myself.
Just a little bit-o-your love - just a little bit-o-your love
Just a little bit-o-your love - will do.

A flash of sunshine on an icy day
Maybe just enough to blow my blues away
A little shelter in a raging storm
Maybe just enough to keep me safe an' warm
Just a little bit-o-your love - will surely help
Just a little bit-o-your love - is gonna help me help myself.
Just a little bit-o-your love - just a little bit-o-your love
Just a little bit-o-your love - just a little bit-o-your love.

Soul light - shine it one more time on me
Soul light - show me how free I can be
Don't leave me in the darkness,
With no-one in command.
Don't leave me in the wilderness
A friend would lend a hand.

Soul light - shine it one more time on me
Soul light - show me how free I can be
I'm all filled up with sadness
It's drownin' my soul inside.
Shine that ray of gladness
Dryin' up the tears I cried.

Please don't leave me here at the crossroads
With no place left to turn.
Don't you leave me with this heavy load
You know I got a lot to learn.

Soul light - shine it one more time on me
Soul light - show me how free I can be
Don't leave me in the darkness
With no-one in command.
Don't you leave me in this wilderness
A friend would lend a hand.

Soul light - shine it one more time on me
Soul light - show me how free I can be.

Soul light - shining in the darkness
Soul light - shining in the darkness.

Lomax

Only fools who love too long
Wait to hear a lover's song
When the world has moved along its way
- I guess I'll be a fool today.

Only those who hesitate
Wait until it's way too late
To rectify a pain too great to see
- I guess you'd be a fool like me.

An' I've waited too long
An' it's way too late for me.

Who's to say what's right or wrong
We all hear a different song
Playing where we don't belong or care
- I guess you might've been there
- I guess you might've been there.

It's only a point of view
That separates me from you.
Only a space in time
Don't let it play on your mind.
It won't play on mine.

It's only a passing cloud,
That picks you out from the crowd.
It's only a passing phase
There will be better days.
Don't get yourself in a craze.

It's such a fine line
Between yours and my line.
It's just a fine line
Between the Soul and the Mind.

It's only another game
That goes by some other name.
It's only a frame of mind
Don't let it take up your time.
It won't take up mine.

Well I'm tied to her memory
And I'm stuck fast in time
I only wanna be back where she was mine.

Why aren't you with me now?
Well I can't break you free no-how
- You're part of my life.

We'd meet in crowded places but I'd see only you.
I was so full of feelings I didn't know what to do.

Why aren't you with me now?
Well I can't break you free no-how
- You're part of my life.

You're stuck in this heart of me
Stuck in my soul.
I'm stuck with this thought of you
An' I can't break you loose
Well it ain't no use
You're stuck tight
- Part of my life.

Why aren't you with me now?
Well I can't break you free no-how
- You're part of my life.

Well I tried to forget you
I guess I don't know how.
I thought that I'd be over you, by now.

Why aren't you with me now?
I can't break you free no-how
- You're part of my life.

You're part of my life
Well I can't break you loose
An' it ain't no use.

You got your way
An' I let you have it.
Now, give me some room
I need that room to move.
Don't stop the groove - not when I'm moving -
not when I'm moving.

She's into reality
Me, I got my dreams.
As crazy as it seems
I need that time to dream.
Please don't make a scene - not when I'm dreaming -
Not when I'm dreaming.

Room to move makes your life run smooth,
Makes your heart beat sweet.
Time to dream lets you float downstream
Where you've never been.

As crazy as it seems
I need some time to dream.
Please don't make a scene - not when I'm dreaming -
Not when I'm dreaming.

You got your way
An' I let you have it.
Now, give me some room
I need some room to move.
Don't stop my groove - not when I'm moving -
not when I'm moving.

Won't you give me that time to dream?
Won't you give me that room to move?

Floating, high from the ground
Floating, no gravity where I am found
No familiar sound around
Hangin' out above the ground
I never think of coming down.

Soaring, too near the sun
Gliding, so far away from everyone
You turn around and there I'm gone
Easier said than done
I've drawn a circle 'round the sun.

Clinging, to the edge of night
Singing, those melodies that don't sound right
But then again, they don't sound wrong
Is this just another song
Or had I known it all along?

Lomax

'I don't wanna live with you this way'
But I don't wanna live without you.
'I don't wanna live with you this way'
But I don't wanna live without you.
I don't wanna live without you,
But I can't live with your ways.
I begin to doubt you - in all those subtle ways.

'I don't wanna live with you this way' -
But I don't wanna live without you.
'I don't wanna live with you this way' -
But I don't wanna live without you.
I don't wanna tell you your business
But something's seriously wrong.
There's no love lost between us - just can't go on for long.

I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna to have to
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna to have to
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to doubt you
But I don't wanna live - without - without ' you.

'I don't wanna live with you this way' -
But I don't wanna live without you.
'I don't wanna live with you this way' -
But I don't wanna live without you.

I don't wanna live in this vacuum,
There's no space, and no breathable air.
I've sung the end of that tune
I know we ain't going nowhere.

I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna to have to.
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna to have to.
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to doubt you.
I don't wanna live - without - without - you.
