Flowers On The Wall

I keep hearin' your concern about my happiness
But all that thought you've given me is, conscience I guess
If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends are worryin''bout me, I'm havin'lots of fun

Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothin' to do

Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me here and havin' quite a time

Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothin' to do

It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete

Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothin' to do
I've nothin' to do

Heartaches By The Number

Heartaches by the number,troubles by the score
Every day you love me less,each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number,a love that I can't win
But the days that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I'd get hurt that way
And heartache number two was when you came back again
You came back but never meant to stay

Yes Ive got heartaches by the number,troubles by the score
Every day you love me less,each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number,a love that I can't win
But the days that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were coming back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on my door
I waited but you must have lost your way

Yes I've got heartaches by the number,troubles by the score
Every day you love me less,each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number,a love that I can't win
But the days that I stop counting
That's the day my world will end

I Will Survive

At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd known for just one second you'd back to bother me

Go on now, go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I
I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey (Hey hey)

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you feel like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free,
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

Go on now, go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I
I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive
Oh (oh) Oh (oh)

Go on now, go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I
I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive

It's A Heartache

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down

It's a fool's game
Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he'll let you down

It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you

Oh it's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down

Its a fool's game
Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you

Oh it's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he'll let you down

It's a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It's a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he'll let you down

It's a fool's game

Let It Be Me

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
if you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
what would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
what would life be

So never leave me lonely
tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
And that you'll always
Let it be me

Maggie Mae

Wake up, Maggie. I think
I got something to say to you
It s late September and
I really should be back at school
Know I keep you amused
but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more.

You lured me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart
And that's what really hurts
The morning sun, when it's in your face
Really shows your age
But that don't worry me none
In my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes
My love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie. I couldn't have tried any more.

You lured me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul
That's a Pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend
To lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover
And, Mother, what a lover!
You wore me out.
All you did was wreck my bed
And in the morning kick me in the head
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore

You lured me away from home
'Cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart
I couldn't leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collect my books
And get back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue
And make a living Out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band
That needs a helpin' hand
Oh, Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face.

You made a first class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
Get on back home one of these days.

Pretty woman walking down the street
Pretty woman the kind I like to meet pretty woman
I don't believe you you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you

Pretty woman won't you pardon me
Pretty woman I couldn't help but see pretty woman
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me

Pretty woman talk a while
Pretty woman give your smile to me

Pretty woman say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you I'll treat you right
Come with me baby be mine tonight

Pretty woman don't walk on by
Pretty woman don't make me cry pretty woman
Don't walk away hey ok

There'll be tomorrow night but wait

Is she walking back to me
Yeah she's walking back to me
Oh oh pretty woman

Satisfaction

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm drivin' in my car
And that man comes on the radio
And he's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watchin' my TV
And that man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts can be
Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarrettes as me
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no girly action.
'Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells me baby better come back later next week
'Cause you see I'm on losing streak
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction
No satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction

Since I Met You Baby

Since I met you baby
I'm a happy man
Since I met you baby
I'm a happy man
I'm gonna try and please you
Any way I can

I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to
I don't need nobody
To tell my troubles to
'Cause since I met you baby
All I need is you

Since I met you baby
I'm a happy man
Since I met you baby
I'm a happy man
I'm gonna try and please you
Any way I can
