Can't make the pieces fit I might just as well forget it But my heart won't let me quit You say it's only a part of love That's right But I get a little worried sometimes When I start to lose Tired of holding it together When I know I'm going to blow another fuse ...I'm at my breaking point ...My breaking point ...I'm at my breaking point ...My breaking point Well you're never gonna get it If you don't get up and try Try and spread those wings around me Honey let me see you fly You say it's only a part of love That's right But I get a little worried sometimes When I start to lose Tired of holding it together When I know I'm going to blow another fuse ...Chorus Maybe someday you'll recover I can see it in your eyes One more thing that you'll discover That you'll finally realize To the carnival, to the carnival. You will see, you will see, What you want to see, exactly what you want to be, At the carnival, at the carnival, at the carnival. Come with me, come with me, To the carnival, to the carnival, To the carnival, to the carnival, to the carnival. Come with me, come with me. Come with me, come with me I got a woman at home that's driving me out of my mind. Catch me if you can; it won't be easy to do. And I'm warning you brother I won't be leaving no clues. Catch me if you can; I won't be leaving no scent. I've been running the wrong way, I think it's time that I went. Believe me, I'm a man; I ain't easy to tend. And I'm moving on out, so catch me if you can. ...There's no use bothering with the lost and found. ...You'd better find a shovel, 'cause I've gone to ground. ...Little girl never did pay me no mind. ...I guess I'll have to go and leave her behind. So . . . Pull one down for you, Shine it on my heart So you could see the truth: That this love I have inside Is everything it seems. But for now I find It's only in my dreams. And I can change the world, I will be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good, Baby if I could change the world. And if I could be king, Even for a day, I'd take you as my queen; I'd have it no other way. And our love would rule This kingdom we had made. Till then I'd be a fool, Wishing for the day... That I can change the world, I would be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good, Baby if I could change the world. Baby if I could change the world. I could change the world, I would be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good, Baby if I could change the world. Baby if I could change the world. Baby if I could change the world. If you wanna get down, down on the ground, cocaine. She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine. If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues, cocaine. When your day is done and you wanna run, cocaine. She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine. If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on, cocaine. Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back, cocaine. She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine. She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine. They picked me up, put me in the county jail. They wouldn't let my woman come and post my bail. Now I'm in prison, I've almost done my time. Now I'm in prison, I've almost done my time. They gave me six months, I had to work out nine. I know my baby, she's gonna jump and shout. I know my baby, she's gonna jump and shout. When the train comes in and I come walking out. Take these stripes from around me, chains from around my legs. Take these stripes from around me, chains from around my legs. The stripes don't hurt me; the chains could kill me dead. A little ole' country band began to play. They had two guitars and a beat-up saxophone; When the leader said go them cats began to blow. Ooh wee oh oh, ooh la la Let's rock and roll. Now all the people gathered 'round Just to dig that rockin' rollin' sound. Suddenly the drummer rang a bell And all them country cats began to yell. Ooh wee oh oh, ooh la la Let's rock and roll. Ole' MacDonald did a crazy bop Said it's time to milk my cow, I got to stop, But just before I cool it and cut out Here's something all you cats can think about. Ooh wee oh oh, ooh la la Let's rock and roll. Snaggle-toothed Malinda was a drag, She latched onto a dude who showed up stag. He tried to run and then he tripped and fell; She kissed him and we all could hear him yell. Ooh wee oh oh, ooh la la Let's rock and roll. Well, a hound dog ran a polecat into town, Brought him to the dance and laid him down. Someone hollered skunk and you can bet All them country cats is runnin' yet. Ooh wee oh oh, ooh la la Let's rock and roll. Baby, drag me across your log. I'm a crosscut saw, Baby, drag me across your log. I cut your wood so easy for you, You can't help but say, "Hot Dog!" Some call me Woodcutting Sam, Some call me Woodcutting Jim. The last girl I cut wood for, She wants me back again. I'm a crosscut saw, Baby, drag me across your log. I cut your wood so easy for you, You can't help but say, "Hot Dog!" I got a double-bladed axe That really cuts good. Well, I'm a crosscut saw, Gonna bury me in your wood. I'm a crosscut saw, Baby, drag me across your log. I cut your wood so easy for you, You can't help but say, "Hot Dog!" fell down on my knees. I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees. Asked the Lord above for mercy, "Save me if you please." I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride. I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride. Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by. I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side. I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side. You can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside. You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown. You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown. And I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down. But I know so well, I can tell when you're lying. Making believe you're looking up to me, And I'm just sitting here, crying. ...And I don't know why, ...I don't know why, ...I don't know why I don't care. You'll go on back to him, he'll take you in. I know he's gonna love you, but I still want you back again, 'Cause baby you're part of me, it's deep inside of you. When he's done all he can, you'll come running to your other man, oh yeah. ...Chorus I know you won't soon forget last night. Your precious love was all over me, but it's all right. Go on and try again but you know nothing's gonna change. That's the way it's gonna be, oh yeah Oh so low, just so troubled. Can't get a job, Laid off and I'm having double trouble. ...Hey hey, to make you've got to try. ...Baby, that's no lie. ...Some of this generation is millionaires; ...I can't even keep decent clothes to wear. Laugh at me walking, And I have no place to go. Bad luck and trouble has taken me; I have no money to show. I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea. Well I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me. If my baby would only take me back again. If my baby would only take me back again. I would feel much better, darling, and at least I'd have a friend. I give you all my money, tell me what more can I do. I give you all my money, tell me what more can I do. You is a sweet little girl but I swear you won't be true. I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea. I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea. Because I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me She begins to think she's grown, And hat's the kind of little girl You can never find at home. ...Come and see me early in the morning, ...Just about the break of day. ...Want to see me hug my pillow ...Where my baby used to lay? One drink of wine, Two drinks of gin. Pretty young got me In the shape I'm in. ...Chorus I pass by the juke joint, Look through the door. She's doing the boogie-woogie In the middle of the floor. Everyone could see we were in ecstasy. Making love against the wall, Feeling very small when we didn't need to be. ...Easy now; don't let my love flow out of you. ...Please remember that I want you to come too. Oh my darling, help me please. When I'm without you I fall down and graze my knees. I look so funny and I feel sad, Your love is all I've ever had, so please don't tease. ...Chorus Yesterday, you know tomorrow, Could it be I'll have to borrow someone new? I know that I'm the one to blame, But all the same, there must be something you can do. Come back baby, you'll find a change in me. Everybody, they ought to change sometime, Because sooner or later we have to go down in that lonesome ground. I changed suits, I changed shirts, I changed, baby, just to get shed of the dirt. Everybody, we ought to change sometime, Because sooner or later we're going down in that lonesome ground. I changed honey, I changed money, I changed, people, just to keep from being funny. Everybody, they ought to change sometime, Because sooner or later we're going down in that lonesome ground. Change in the ocean, change in the sea, Come back baby, you'll find a change in me. Everybody, we ought to change sometime, Because sooner or later we're going down in that lonesome ground. Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about. I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out. I got a job in a steel mill, shucking steel like a slave. Five long years, every Friday I come straight back home with all my pay. Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about. I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out. I finally learned my lesson, should a long time ago. The next woman that I marry, she gonna work and bring me the dough. Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about. I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve, She had the nerve, She had the nerve, She had the nerve to put me out. Lord I never will forget that floating bridge. Lord I never will forget that floating bridge. They tell me five minutes time underwater I was hid. I was going down and I throwed up my hands. As I was going down I throwed up my hands. As I was going down I throwed up my hands, Saying, "Please Lord, take me on dry land." Well they carried me in the house and they laid me 'cross the bed. Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed. Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed. I couldn't hear nothing but muddy water running 'round my head. Oh my mother often told me, "Quit playing a bum." My mother always told me, "Quit playing a bum." Lord, my mother always told me, "Son, quit playing a bum. Go out somewhere and make a crumb." All the people on the bridge was screaming and crying. Well all the people on the bridge was screaming and crying. All the people on the bridge stood screaming and crying, Saying, "Lord have mercy, wher's we g'wine?" How many bridges I've got to cross? How many times must I explain myself Before I can talk to the boss, 'Fore I can talk to the boss? How many times must I say I love you Before you finally understand? Won't you be my forever woman? I'll try to be your forever man, Try to be your forever man. How many times must I say I love you Before you finally understand? Won't you be my forever woman? I'll try to be your forever man, Try to be your forever man. Forever man, forever man, forever man. Forever man, forever man, forever man. Try to be your forever man. Forever man, forever man, forever man. Forever man, forever man, forever man. Try to be your forever man. someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.

My home may be out on the highway, Lord, I've done so much wrong But please, give me strength to carry on. Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on. Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on. My home may be out on the highway, Lord, I've done so much wrong But please, give me strength to carry on. Lord, I'm going away just to wear you off my mind. Well you keep me worrying 'bout it all the time. Well, I ain't been loved but four womens in my life. Well, I ain't ever loved but four womens in my life. Well, my mother and my sister, sweetheart and my wife. If you don't want me baby, please don't call me 'round. If you don't want me baby, please don't call me 'round. Well, just like you found me, you can put me down. Well now goodbye baby, if you call at home. Well now goodbye baby, if you call at home. You can go away; swear you won't stay long. It made you happy, it made you sing. And I played for you on my guitar; It didn't last long, it didn't go far. ...And though the times have changed, ...They're rearranged. ...Will the ties that bind remain the same? You came around after a while; Everyone said that I made you smile. It all went well, and suddenly then You heard that he would marry you again. ...Chorus Well I know that I have been here before; I've trod on your wings, I've opened the door. If I gave to you a golden ring Would I make you happy, would I make you sing? I'm so tired of moaning, trying to groan away my blues. I keep weeping and crying every time I think of you. I would rather die of starvation, perish out in the desert sun, I would rather die of starvation, perish out in the desert sun, Than to think of some other man holding you in his arms. My heart gets so heavy, Lord I shakes down in my bones. My heart gets so heavy, Lord I shakes down in my bones. I can't hurt a murderer, oh Lord, but I'm forced to weep and moan 'Fore she passed away Said son when I'm gone Don't forget to pray 'Cause there'll be hard times Lord those hard times Who knows better than I? Well I soon found out Just what she meant When I had to pawn my clothes Just to pay the rent Talkin' 'bout hard times Lord those hard times Who knows better than I? I had a woman Who was always around But when I lost my money She put me down Talkin' 'bout hard times Hard times Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I? Lord, one of these days There'll be no more sorrow When I pass away And no more hard times No more hard times Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I? Have you ever loved a woman so much you tremble in pain? And all the time you know she bears another man's name. But you just love that woman so much it's a shame and a sin. You just love that woman so much it's a shame and a sin. But all the time you know she belongs to your very best friend. Have you ever loved a woman and you know you can't leave her alone? Have you ever loved a woman and you know you can't leave her alone? Something deep inside of you won't let you wreck your best friend's home (página siguiente) |
