WHO NEEDS A HEART THAT IS BROKEN IN TWO?
WHO NEEDS A DREAM THAT'S BEEN SHATTERED?
WHO CRIES FOR MORE WHEN THE JOY TURNS TO PAIN?
YOU JUST PRETEND IT NEVER MATTERED.

(Tell me, who needs a love like yours?)
THAT IS BRINGING ME DOWN?
(And tell me, who sees a love like ours?)
THAT WENT WRONG FROM THE START?
YOU HAVE BROKEN MY HEART,
WE'RE JUST OCEANS APART
BUT STILL IT DOESN'T MATTER.

WHY DOES IT HURT WHEN YOU KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME?
WHY WERE THE WORDS SOFTLY SPOKEN?
WHY WASTE THE TIME WHEN WE'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE?
THE TIES THAT BIND ARE ALMOST BROKEN.

(Tell me, who needs a love like yours?)
THAT IS BRINGING ME DOWN?
(And tell me, who sees a love like ours?)
THAT WENT WRONG FROM THE START?
YOU HAVE BROKEN MY HEART,
WE'RE STILL OCEANS APART
BUT STILL IT DOESN'T MATTER.

WE'RE JUST OCEANS APART
BUT STILL IT DOESN'T MATTER.

WHO CRIES FOR MORE WHEN THE JOY TURNS TO PAIN?
YOU JUST PRETEND IT NEVER MATTERED,
YOU JUST PRETEND IT NEVER MATTERED.

WHO NEEDS A HEART THAT'S BEEN SHATTERED?
WHO NEEDS A DREAM THAT'S BEEN BROKEN?

I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY WHAT I MEAN,
MEAN WHAT I SAY.
I SET MYSELF UP, LET MYSELF DOWN,
I MAY BE A FOOL TO SPREAD IT AROUND.
BUT I JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES I FIND IT SO HARD NOT TO SHOW,
SO I SIGH AND I LET MY FEELINGS GO.

I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
DON'T COUNT THE COST,

SHE ASKS ME 'ROUND TO HAVE A BITE TO EAT,
WHEN I GET THERE, SHE'S INVITED THE STREET.
SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.
SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.

I TELL HER THAT I'D RATHER BE ALONE,
SHE GETS THE CAR AND SAYS SHE'LL DRIVE ME HOME.
SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.
SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.

NOW, TAKE A NIGHT, LIKE THE NIGHT WE MET,
I WAS DRINKING IN THE BAR, JUST TRYIN' TO FORGET.
WHEN SHE COMES HOME AND SAYS, "YOU'RE LOOKING BLUE."
I SAID, "WITH MY PROBLEMS SO, WOULDN'T YOU?"

SHE TAKES ME HOME AND SLIPS ON SOMETHING COOL,
SHE GIVES ME KISSES WHERE SHE DON'T AS A RULE.
SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.

TAKE IT AWAY, SUGAR!

SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.

NOW, TAKE A NIGHT, LIKE THE NIGHT WE MET,
I WAS DRINKING IN THE BAR, JUST TRYIN' TO FORGET.
WHEN SHE COMES HOME AND SAYS, "YOU'RE LOOKING BLUE."

SHE TAKES ME HOME AND SLIPS ON SOMETHING COOL,
SHE LET ME KISS HER WHERE SHE DON'T AS A RULE.
SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.
SHE GIVES ME HARD TIMES,
BUT WHEN SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME.

SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES,
SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES,
SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES,
SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES,
SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES,
SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES,
SHE GIVE ME, SHE GIVE ME SUCH HARD TIMES.

I CAN FEEL YOUR BREATH ON MY FACE,
BUT I STILL WANNA TURN ON THE LIGHT.
IS IT REALLY YOU HERE WITH ME TONIGHT?
IS IT REALLY YOU HERE WITH ME TONIGHT?

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT,
IT FEELS SO RIGHT.
I KEEP ON PINCHING MYSELF
BUT I KEEP ON HOLDING YOU TIGHT.
IS IT REALLY YOU HERE WITH ME TONIGHT?

WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING,
IT SURE GONNA SEEM LIKE A DREAM.
THERE'S ONLY ONE CHANCE
I KNOW THIS IS GOING ON,
THAT'S WHEN I CAN SEE YOU LYING NEXT TO ME.

IS IT REALLY YOU HERE WITH ME TONIGHT?

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT,
IT FEELS SO RIGHT.
I CAN FEEL YOUR BREATH ON MY FACE,
BUT I STILL WANT TO TURN ON THE LIGHT.
IS IT REALLY YOU HERE,
IS IT REALLY YOU HERE,

IS IT REALLY YOU HERE WITH ME TONIGHT?

NOW, LISTEN, SUGAR.

IS IT REALLY YOU HERE WITH ME TONIGHT?
IS IT REALLY YOU HERE WITH ME TONIGHT?
IS IT REALLY YOU HERE WITH ME TONIGHT?

Love has locked us up, peaches
Locked inside this zoo
Your bananas get thrown at me
And mine get thrown at you

Every night we fuss and fight
Like me and you know who
I guess love is always just

Love is monkey see and monkey do (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do (would I lie to you?)
Love is monkey see and monkey do (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do

Do you want my love, peaches?
Do you want my rage?
Or do you merely like to see me
Shake my cage?

Your papayas get thrown at me
And mine get thrown at you
I guess love is always just

Love is monkey see and monkey do (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do (would I lie to you?)
Love is monkey see and monkey do (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do

You won't let me near you, peaches
But one day you will
Gonna jump up and stumble and eat all the jungle
Until I've had my fill

Then you'll know the truth, peaches
One and one ain't two
One and one is one and love is

Love is monkey see and monkey do (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do
Would I lie to you? (Would I lie to you, baby?)
Love is monkey see and monkey do (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do (love is, love is)

Love is monkey see and monkey do (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do
Would i lie to you? (Would I lie to you, baby?)
Love is monkey see and monkey do (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do

People like you and I always hurt one another
Until there's nothing left to hurt no more
You and I will always hear different drummers
You just go your way, I'll go mine

You and I always take from each other
Until there's nothing left to give no more
You and I are just like lightning and thunder
We never let the sun just shine

I need some old time relovin'
You know I need it so bad
Gimme some old time relovin'
Just like my old daddy always had

(ba ba ba - ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba - ba ba)
(ba ba ba ba doo da do'n'ba doo'n'doo ba)
You and I will always hear different drummers
You just go your way, I'll go mine

I need some old time relovin'
You know I need it so bad
Gimme some old time relovin'
Just like my old daddy said he had

I need some old time relovin'
You know I need it so bad
Gimme some old time relovin'
Just like my old daddy always had
Just like my old mummy always had
Just like my old sister said she had

What did she have?

. . .


NOW YOU CAN COUNT ON ME,
I'LL BE THERE YOU SEE,
ON THE STAGE OF THE CARNEGIE HALL.
WHEN THE HOUSE LIGHTS GO DOWN,
THAT'S WHEN I'LL COME ON,
'CAUSE I'M A MAN AND I'M REALLY QUITE SMALL.

'CAUSE A MAN LIKE ME BELONGS TO THE WORLD,
AND THE WORLD IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE.
AND A MAN LIKE ME JUST SINGS FOR THE WORLD
THAT GOES ROUND AND ROUND FOR FREE.

YOU CAN COUNT ON ME,
I'LL BE THERE YOU'LL SEE,
I'LL BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED A FRIEND.
WHEN YOU'RE FEELING DOWN,
THAT'S WHEN I'LL BE YOUR CLOWN,
AND WE'LL SING OUR SONGS TO THE END.

'CAUSE A MAN LIKE ME BELONGS TO THE WORLD,
AND THE WORLD IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE.
AND A MAN LIKE ME JUST SINGS FOR THE WORLD
THAT GOES ROUND AND ROUND FOR FREE.

A MAN LIKE ME BELONGS TO THE WORLD,
AND THE WORLD IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE.
AND A MAN LIKE ME JUST SINGS FOR THE WORLD
THAT GOES ROUND AND ROUND FOR FREE.

'CAUSE A MAN LIKE ME BELONGS TO THE WORLD,
AND THE WORLD IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE.
AND A MAN LIKE ME JUST SINGS FOR THE WORLD
THAT GOES ROUND AND ROUND FOR FREE.
