Asked a girl what she wanted to be
And she said,"Baby, can't you see?
I want to be famous, a star of the screen
But you can do something in between."
"Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you."
I told that girl that my prospects were good
And she said, "Baby, it's understood.
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time"
"Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you."
Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah!
"Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you."
I told that girl I could start right away
And she said, "Listen babe, I've got something to say.
I've got no car and its breaking my heart
But I found a driver and that's a start."
"Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you."
When I call you up
Your line's engaged
I have had enough
So act your age
We have lost the time
That was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
If you won't see me
You won't see me
I don't know why you
Should want to hide
But I can't get through
My hands are tied
I won't want to stay
I don't have much to say
But I can turn away
And you won't see me
You won't see me
Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few
They're filled with tears
And since I lost you
It feels like years
Yes it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me
You won't see me
Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few
They're filled with tears
And since I lost you
It feels like years
Yes it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me
You won't see me
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you
and me
Nowhere man, please listen
You don't knpw what you're missin'
Nowhere man
The world is at your command
He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man can you see me
at all?
Nowhere man, don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all
'Til somebody else lends you a hand
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you
and me
Nowhere man, please listen
You don't knpw what you're missin'
Nowhere man
The world is at your command
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody
I've got a word or two
To say about the things that you do
You're telling all those lies
About the good things that we
can have if we close our eyes
Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself 'cos I won't be there with you
I left you far behind
The ruins of the life that you have in mind
And though you still can't see
I know you're mind's made up
You're gonna cause more misery
Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself 'cos I won't be there with you
Although your mind's opaque
Try thinking more if just for your own sake
The future still looks good
And you've got time to
rectify all the things that you should
Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself 'cos I won't be there with you
Do what you want to do
And go where you're going to
Think for yourself 'cos I won't be there with you
Think for yourself 'cos I won't be there with you
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is "love"?
It's so fine
It's sunshine
It's the word "love"
In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I've got it, the word is good
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is "love"?
It's so fine
It's sunshine
It's the word "love"
Everywhere I go I hear it said
In the good and the bad books that I have read
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is "love"?
It's so fine
It's sunshine
It's the word "love"
Now that I know what I feel must be right
I'm here to show everybody the light
Give the word a chance to say
That the word is just the way
It's the word I'm thinking of
And the only word is "love"
It's so fine
It's sunshine
It's the word "love"
Say the word "love"
Say the word "love"
Say the word "love"
Say the word "love"
What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind?
The other day I saw you
as I walked along the road
But when I saw him with you
I could feel my future fold
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why
What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind?
I met you in the morning
Waiting for the tides of time
But now the tide is turning
I can see that I was blind
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why
What goes on in your heart?
I used to think of no one else
But you were just the same
You didn't even think of me
Did you mean to break my heart and watch me die?
Tell me why
What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind?
Is there anybody going to listen
to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much
it makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day
Ah, girl
Girl
When I think of all the times
I tried so hard to leave her
She would turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me
and I believe her
After all this time I don't know why
Ah, girl
Girl
She's the kind of girl
who puts you down when friends are there
You feel a fool
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood
She's cool, ooh, ooh, ooh
Girl
Girl
Was she told when she was young
that fame would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back
to earn his day of leisure
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
I'm looking through you
Where did you go?
I thought I knew you
What did I know?
You don't look different but you have changed
I'm looking through you
You're not the same
You're lips are moving
I cannot hear
Your voice is soothing
But the words aren't clear
You don't sound different, I've learned the game
I'm looking through you
You're not the same
Why, tell me why did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
You're thinking of me
The same old way
You were above me
But not today
The only difference is you're down there
I'm looking through you
And you are nowhere
Why, tell me why did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
I'm looking through you
Where did you go?
I thought I knew you
What did I know?
You don't look different but you have changed
I'm looking through you
You're not the same
Oh, baby you've changed
I'm looking through you, yeah
I'm looking through you
There are places I remember
All my life
Though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone
And some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life
I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one
Compared with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love
As something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things
That went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life
I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things
That went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life
I love you more
