Well I've tried everything to get along with you
But I'm gonna tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'm sick of all your crying, gonna leave you alone
If you don't believe I'm going
You can count the days I'm gone
I'm gonna leave
Gonna leave you lovin' baby, oh some day
Well if you don't believe I'm going
Watch me leaving you this way

Won't you please, well that sun looks good going down
Won't you please, well that sun looks good going down
But don't that ol' moon look lonesome when your baby's not around

Won't you please, don't that sun look good going down
Won't you please, don't that sun look good going down
But don't that ol' moon look lonesome when your baby's not around

Shout out, ring the bells
Shout out, tell the world I'm in love
Ring out, I feel fine
This girl said she's mine
So let the bells ring loud and clear
Let the whole know I'm in love

Ring out, I feel fine
This girl said she's mine
So let the bells ring loud and clear

Can you hear those bells are ringing
Everywhere I hear them singing
Hear them, hear them, hear them

Shout out, ring the bells
Shout out, tell the world I'm in love
Ring out, I feel fine
This girl said she's mine
So let the bells ring loud and clear
Bells ring loud and clear


. . .



I won't stay around with you my friend
My life's been empty since I went
Since I went away from home
I'm sick and tired of being alone
There's nothing left for me to do
So I gotta get the first plane home
I gotta get the first plane home

I gotta wing wing[?] fly high over the see
There's a little girl who's waiting for me
Love her till my dying day
And when I die you'll hear me say
I love that girl for eternity
But I gotta get the first plane home
I gotta get the first plane home

Got to wing wing[?] fly high over the see
There's a little girl who's waiting for me
Love her till my dying day
And when I die you'll hear me say
I love that girl for eternity
But I gotta get the first plane home
I gotta get the first plane home
I gotta get the first plane home
I gotta get the first plane home

When I see that girl of mine
Makes me want to sigh
When I see that girl of mine
Makes me want to sigh
I don't care if the sun don't shine
Long as I can see that girl of mine
I know everything'll be fine
When I see that girl of mine
When I see that girl of mine

Getting ready and looking my best
Got to look my best so I'm taking my time
'Cause I need that girl of mine
I know that she'll be mine so I'll keep on trying
I don't care if the sun don't shine
Long as I can see that girl of mine
I know everything'll be fine
When I see that girl of mine
When I see that girl of mine

Can't you see she's the only girl for me
And when people look at me they can see
They can see, they can see, they can see

When I see that girl of mine
Makes me want to sigh
When I see that girl of mine
Makes me want to sigh
I don't care if the sun don't shine
Long as I can see that girl of mine
I know everything'll be fine
When I see that girl of mine
When I see that girl of mine
When I see that girl of mine

Sailing in-between the land, the air and me
Confusion never talks[?]
'Cause frame of mind tells me that I am free
I am free

Doors are open wide
No credits to be seen
Sail with me my friend
I need someone, it's dark and it could get lonely
I am free

I am free

I don't care to be
As similar as[?] machines
To [?]
And convalesce when society doesn't need me
I am free


. . .



Baby, I feel good
From the moment I arise
Feel good from morning
Till the end of the day
Till the end of the day

Yeah, you and me
We live this life
From when we get up
Till we go sleep at night
You and me were free
We do as we please, yeah
From morning, till the end of the day
Till the end of the day

Yeah, I get up
And I see the sun up
And I feel good, yeah
'Cause my life has begun
You and me were free
We do as we please, yeah
From morning, till the end of the day
Till the end of the day

You and me were free
We do as we please, yeah
From morning, till the end of the day
Till the end of the day
Till the end of the day
Till the end of the day
Till the end of the day
Till the end of the day

You worry 'bout the sun
What's the use of worrying 'bout the big ol' sun
You worry 'bout the rain
The rain keeps falling just the same
You worry when the one you need has found somebody new

But the world keeps going round
The world keeps going round
You just can't stop it
The world keeps going round

You worry 'bout yourself
What's the use of worrying now you're almost grown
You worry 'bout your own
What's the use of worrying 'cause you'll die alone
Times will be hard, rain will fall
And you'll feel mighty low

But the world keeps going round
The world keeps going round
You just can't stop it
The world keeps going round

Times will be hard, rain will fall
And you'll feel mighty low

But the world keeps going round
The world keeps going round
The world keeps going round
The world keeps going round
You just can't stop it
The world keeps going round
The world keeps going round

I'm on an island
And I've got no where to swim
Oh what a mood I am in
I'm on an island

I'm on an island
Since my girl left me behind
She said that I'm not her kind
I'm on an island

But there is no where else on Earth I'd rather be
Then if my long, lost little girl was here with me

I'm on an island
And I've got no where to run
Because I'm the only one
Who's on the island

But there is no where else on Earth I'd rather be
Then if my long, lost little girl was here with me
I'm on an island
And I've got no where to run
Because I'm the only one
Who's on this island

I'm on an island
I'm on an island


. . .



Well, lived my life and never stopped to worry 'bout a thing
Opened up and shouted out and never tried to sing
Wondering if I'd done wrong
Will this depression last for long?

Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?

Well, once we had an easy ride and always felt the same
Time was on our side and I had everything to gain
Let it be like yesterday
Please let me have happy days

Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?

Ma and Pa look back at all the things they used to do
Didn't have no money and they always told the truth
Daddy didn't have no toys
And mummy didn't need no boys

Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?

Well, yesterday was such an easy game for you to play
But let's face it things are so much easier today
Guess you need some bringing down
And get your feet back on the ground

Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?

It's too late now for you to say your sorry
It's too late now for you to make amends
You're gonna pay for all the lies you told me
Well don't apologize 'cause it's too late

It's too late
Much too late
You said those words
You said them much too late

It's too late
Much too late
You said those words
You said them much too late

It's too late now for you to sympathize, dear
The wheel of time is grinding 'gainst your dreams
I really wouldn't want to cause no pain now
You said those words, you said them much too late

It's too late
Much too late
You said those words
You said them much too late


. . .



I wanna know what is to be
To see what life's cut out for me
I'm waiting for my fate
'Cause I know I've done wrong
I wanna know just what's in store for me

I wish I had a crystal ball
To see my rise and see my fall
I've done a lot of right,
But also done some wrong
I wanna know just what's in store for me

And so I'll wait a while
And wait a little longer
I'll just have to wait and see

I think a lot but I'll stop trying
I'll just get old before my time
I'll live the life I've got
But I don't sleep at night
I wanna know just what's in store for me

I'll live the life I've got
But I don't sleep at night
I wanna know just what's in store for me
I wanna know just what's in store for me


. . .



You'll try and you'll try again
But you know you can't win
You'll try and you'll try again
But you know you can't win

What more can I say now?
What more can I do?
No need to feel sad now
'Cause times are pretty thin
And you can't win
You can't win
You can't win

Try and do what you can
But you know you can't win
You say you don't understand
But you know you can't win

What more can you say now?
What more can you do?
No need to feel sad now
'Cause times are pretty thin
And you can't win
You can't win
You can't win

What more can I say now?
What more can I do?
No need to feel sad now
'Cause times are pretty thin
You can't win
You can't win
You can't win
