Ev'ry night I just wanna go out,
Get out of my head.
Ev'ry day I don't wanna get up,
Get out of my bed.
Ev'ry night I want to play out
And ev'ry day I wanna do
But tonight I just wanna stay in
And be with you
And be with you.
Ev'ry day I lean on a lamp post,
I'm wasting my time.
Ev'ry night I lay on a pillow,
I'm resting my mind.
Ev'ry morning brings a new day
And ev'ry night that day is through.
But tonight I just wanna stay in
And be with you
And be with you.

Motor cars, handle bars,
Bicycles for two.
Broken hearted jubilee.
Parachutes, army boots,
Sleeping bags for two
Sentimental jamboree
Buy! Buy!
Says the sign in the shop window
Why? Why?
Says the junk in the yard
Candlesticks, building bricks,
Something old and new
Memories for you and me
Buy! Buy!
Says the sign in the shop window.
Why? Why?
Says the junk in the yard.
Man, we was lonely,
Yes, we was lonely,
And we was hard pressed to find a smile.
Man, we was lonely,
Yes, we was lonely,
But now we're fine all the while.
I used to ride on my fast city line,
Singing songs that I thought were mine alone, (alone) alone.
Now, let me lie with my love for the time
I am home, (home) home, (home) home.
Man, we was lonely,
Yes, we was lonely,
And we was hard pressed to find a smile.
Man, we was lonely,
Yes, we was lonely,
But now we're fine all the while.
Now, let me lie with my love for the time
I am home, (home) home, (home) home.
Man, we was lonely,
Yes, we was lonely,
And we was hard pressed to find a smile.
Man, we was lonely,
Yes, we was lonely,
But now we're fine all the while,
But now we're fine all the while,
But now we're fine all the while.

Look like a woman,
Dressed like a lady.
Talk like a baby, oo-hoo,
Love like a woman, oo-oo-oo-oo.
Oo-oo, you,
Ow!
Oo, you.
Walk like a woman, oo-hoo,
Sing like a blackbird, ah-ha.
Eat like a hungry, oo-hoo,
Cook like a woman, oo-oo-oo-oo.
Oo-oo, woman, oh-oh-oh.
Ow!
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
Oo, you.
Look like a woman,
Oo-oo-oo, dressed like a lady.
Oo-oo-oo, talk like a baby,
Golly, golly, golly, golly, goo, goo, oo.
Love like a woman, oo-oo-oo-oo.
Oo-oo, you.

This is the story of a boy named Ted,
If his mother said, "Ted, be good."
He would.
She told him tales about his soldier dad,
But it made her sad, then she'd cry.
Oh my.
Ted used to tell her he'd be twice as good,
And he knew he could, 'cause in his head,
He said:
"Mommy don't worry, now Teddy boy's here,
Taking good care of you.
Mommy don't worry, your Teddy boy's here,
Teddy's gonna see you through."
Then came the day she found herself a man,
Teddy turned and ran, far away,
Ok
He couldn't stand to see his mother in love
With another man, he didn't know.
Oh no.
He found a place where he could settle down
And from time to time, in his head,
He said:
"Mommy don't worry, now Teddy boy's here,
Taking good care of you.
Mommy don't worry, your Teddy boy's here,
Teddy's gonna see you through."
She said:
"Teddy don't worry, now mummy is here,
Taking good care of you.
Teddy don't worry, your mummy is here,
Mummy's gonna see you through."
This is the story of a boy named Ted,
If his mother said, "Ted, be good."
He would.

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time,
And maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time,
You hung me on the line.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you.
Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand.
Baby, I'm a man,
And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.
Baby, won't you help me to understand?
Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand.
Baby, I'm a man,
And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.
Baby, won't you help me to understand?
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time,
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song,
Right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you.
