Try To Please Somebody
Sitting on the grass
watching people pass
nothing's gonna worry me
Looking at the sky asking people why
everybody can't be free
Well you say that you're happy
living here with nothing to do
But as I look around me
I got one thing to say to you
I say please everybody
try to please somebody
it's not so hard to do
Please everybody
try to please somebody
and then someone will please you too
Lying in the shade drinking lemonade
everybody's having fun
Everywhere in town people hang around
waiting for their special one
But can't you see that I'm lonely
sitting here in misery
Somebody's got to come along and
fall in love with me
And say please everybody
try to please somebody
it's not so hard to do
Please everybody
try to please somebody
and then someone will please you too
Maybe someday you'll hear what I say
and get down on your knees
You'll hope and you'll pray
that one of these days
your special one will hear your pleas
I say pleas
I say please everybody
try to please somebody
it's not so hard to do
Please everybody
try to please somebody
and then someone will please you too

Rock 'N' Roll Blues
My woman said to me
you better play it cool
You run around in every town
act like a fool
But one day you'll discover
that your heart can break
I'll mess your mind and
then you'll find it hard to take
Either love me babe or leave me now
you better choose
You better get it on and
play your rock 'n' roll blues
I told her I was sorry
and that I'd be good
I'd love that little momma
baby like I should
We rocked away the evening
with a super band
The feeling of our music's
always close at hand
So get it all together
you got nothing to lose
Now won't you come on over
hear my rock 'n' roll blues
And now that I have told you
of my heavy scene
I'm here to tell you people
that it's really mean
Now rock 'n' roll is where it's at
the sound is right
But when you add the blues
you know it's out of sight
The sound will get you high
from your head to your shoes
So clear the way and
let us play our rock 'n' roll blues

Listen
Listen can you hear my tears
They've fallen for you
for many years
Listen before you go
Can you tell me why
I only want to know
Listen why can't you see
After all you said to let it be
Listen I ask you why
But still there's no reply
You told us long ago
that you could work it out
Please someone tell me
what it's all about
Listen to what I say
Maybe you can find a way
Listen don't let us down
The world is waiting for you
to come 'round
You told us long ago
that you could work it out
Please someone tell me
what it's all about
Listen the world's watching you
Will someone tell us
what you're gonna do
Listen don't say it's the end
I know if you try you can do it again
So come on back and do it again
Yes come on back
don't say it's the end
Now come on back
let's all be friends
Come on back

New Life
You say that life's got you down
And you're sad the whole year round
You'd better open your mind and see
That baby I've got new life and
that's enough for me
Has living been a terrible bore
And you think you can't take any more
Come on over I'll set you free
'Cos baby I've got new life and
that's enough for me
A new way of living to do as I please
A new way of solving my troubles
with ease
A new way of seeing society's plan
A new way of feeling
the beauty of man
Don't be troubled by what you are
Do your best and you'll go far
And once you see it you will agree
That baby we've got new life
Oh the freedom of new life
Baby we've got new life
And that's enough for me

Don't Say No
Long ago when a man
loved a woman
They understood it was good
such a treasure now
But today when I say that I love you
You do not care
unaware of the pleasure now
Let me find peace of mind
Don't say no give me all your love
In a while you may feel all my loving
But should you wait
hesitate you may lose it now
For a man can believe in the power
Of giving love
living love when you choose it now
Make it clear let me hear
Don't say no let me be the one

Please Take Her Away
I used to think that no one
could take her away from me
I used to think that happy together
we would be
But then you came along and
somehow broke my heart
'Cos she started seeing you and
we drifted apart
I guess she didn't love me
the way I'd hoped she would
And I'd stop thinking of her
this moment if I could
But something deep inside me
is burning like a flame
How could you steal her from me
but no you're not to blame
Oh how could she leave me
to sit alone and cry
Doesn't she remember
that she'd never say good-bye
But now she's gone I'll tell you this
I think I'll be OK
So please take her away

Remember
Remember long ago
The things you'd never know
They always slipped your mind
Hard to find
Remember yesterday
When tomorrow was so far away
But it quickly came to pass
Didn't last
Remember how we laughed
remember how we cried
And when our love was fading
remember how we tried
To save each other's heart
from breaking in two
And remember I love you
Remember my love
I can't stop thinking of
The moments that we shared
You never cared
Remember how we laughed
remember how we cried
And when our love was fading
remember how we tried
To save each other's heart
from breaking in two
And remember I love you

I Don't Mind
The morning sun forgot to rise
Cloudy feeling coming to my eyes
Rain is falling from up above
I don't mind 'cos I'm in love
Lonely people living everywhere
Other people they just don't care
There is nothing
oh nothing in this world is free
I don't mind 'cos you love me
Sometimes it's hard to see
How much you care for me
Although I may be slow you know
I want our love to grow
Hatred surrounds us and
fills our minds with fear
Life goes on
from day to day each year
I'll never find a better thing to do
I don't mind no I don't mind
'Cos I'm in love
yes I'm in love with you

What Can I Do
Girl you know that I love you
but honey what can I do
When you don't love me too
and it's true if you knew
Then I wouldn't be blue
But I'm still gonna try
though I wish I knew why
That you told me your lies
alibis now I'm wise
Tell me what can I do
Just seeing you reminds me
of memories far behind me
Just knowing you is thrilling
it keeps my mind so willing
And makes me want to say
Girl you know that I love you
but honey what can I do
When you don't love me too
and it's true if you knew
Then I wouldn't be blue
But I'm still gonna try
though I wish I knew why
That you told me your lies
alibis now I'm wise
Tell me what can I do
Just looking for a lover and
knowing there's no other
Just asking for a reason
I think it's very pleasing
And I've just gotta say
Girl you know that I love you
but honey what can I do
When you don't love me too and it's true
if you knew
Then I wouldn't be blue
But I'm still gonna try
though I wish I knew why
That you told me your lies
alibis now I'm wise
Tell me what can I do
Girl

Try It Once Again
Rain falling from above
Reflections of our love
Is falling down on me
can't you see
That it's how it's got to be
If you let me take your hand
And try to understand
You're not the one to blame
for your shame
It's just another silly game
To live for tomorrow
is a long lived sorrow
Save yourself the pain
and try it once again
Then you're bound to find the way
To bright and sunny days
Where everyone's your friend
in the end
You'll wanna try it once again
To live for tomorrow
is a long lived sorrow
Save yourself the pain
and try it once again
Then you're bound to find the way
To bright and sunny days
Where everyone's your friend
in the end
You'll wanna try it once again

In My Flying Machine
Up above the world
in my flying machine
Soaring over places
that I've never been
There are many places
and so many faces
that I've never seen
I've never seen
But I'll see them all
and I hope I don't fall
Yes I'm having a ball
in my flying machine
My flying machine
will take me anywhere
It really doesn't matter
just as long as I care
I'll take my time
to make up my mind
when I'm in the air in the air
Where should I go
and why should I go there
Who should I see
and why should I see them
How will I know
if I've made the right choice
Will there be someone
to hear my voice
The time has come
to leave in my plane
Do you expect to see me again
Maybe I'll stay just one more day
but only if it rains if it rains
Now I'll see them all
and I hope I don't fall
Yes I'm having a ball
in my flying machine
(taking the time
to unwind in my mind)
My flying machine
(easing the pain
that's possessing my brain)
In my flying machine
(taking the time
to unwind in my mind)
My flying machine
(easing the pain
that's possessing my brain)

Oh Kay
Well she's the one
who's there for me
And lets me have
her love for free
She always knows
the way to be
Oh yeah all right oh Kay
She tells me of
a love gone by
With teardrops falling
from her eyes
It's only then I realize
Oh yeah all right oh Kay
Well Kay don't be afraid
I'll be here by your side
And Kay the love you've made
Is something you can't hide
So let it rain or let it shine
And let me keep this love of mine
When I'm with you the world is fine
Oh yeah all right oh Kay

Woman (Do You Love Me)
Woman do you love me
woman do you need me
You're happy when you're with me
but you love to be alone
You're insane if you love me
but you're crazy if you don't
Woman can you feel me
woman don't conceal me
You're strange if you're willing
but you're funny if you won't
You're insane if you love me
and you're crazy if you don't
Woman hear me calling
woman see me falling
I've never had a woman
who I loved more
This feeling I've got
and you know what it's for
So give me what's coming
'cos I can't wait
I've got to have it now
or it will be too late
Woman do you love me
woman do you want me
'Cos woman I love you, I need you,
I feel you, I want you now

Someone To Love
There was a time when I was lonely
No one around to call my friend
But then you said I was the only
And you would love me till the end
Now my happiness is true
'cos I found my world in you
And I thank the stars above
You'll be right by my side and
you'll never have to hide
And you'll always be my
someone to love
And if you're ever lonely
just call on me and I'll be there
And if I find someone who loves me
I won't care I wouldn't dare
Say you're gonna stay forever
Please don't ever go away
And when I say I'll leave you never
Please believe in what I say
You know I'll never go
because I love you so
It's you I'm always thinking of
I'm glad that you're around and
that I've finally found
My one and only someone to love

Each Day
Each morning when I wake up
I see your loving eyes
Love is all around us
Never tell me lies
Tell me I'm the only
let me hear you say
That you're gonna love me
more and more each day
Each time that we're together
I feel so good inside
'Cos I know you love me
That you can't deny
Tell me I'm the only
let me hear you say
That you're gonna love me
more and more each day
Each night I go to sleep
And dream my dreams of you
You're my only lover
I'll never be untrue
Tell me I'm the only
let me hear you say
That you're gonna love me
more and more each day

Like No Other
Who can make me feel happy
Who can make my day bright
Who can chase away my sorrow
Who loves me every night
I'll tell you who it is
It should be plain to see
She loves me like no other
My baby's good to me
Who can stop my world
Who can make it go again
Who can start me with a smile
Who helps me to begin
Only one girl does
It should be very clear
She loves me like no other
I'm happy when she's near
Love me forever
Don't leave me ever
Don't find another
Love me like no other

Alone With You
My dreams are being answered
When I'm alone with you
I see your eyes your face your smile
In everything I do
When people are together
Good times fill the air
But when there's two
like me and you
Babe there's no compare
And I want to be alone with you
until eternity
Just to be alone with you girl
is everything I need
Your love is like a river
Flowing through my heart
It seeps right in and then begins
To tear my mind apart
'Cos I want to be alone with you
until eternity
Just to be alone with you girl
is everything I need

Mr. Bassman play me a song
Make it simple and I'll play along
Let me hear it it's out of sight
I gotta know if it's alright

I gotta know if it is real
Hey sir with your guitar ringing
Hey sir can you hear me singing
You've got a sound

Hey sir with your guitar ringing

Waiting For The Sun
I feel like the falling rain
Falling from high
up in the cloudy sky
Because my love has gone away
She's gone forever
and never told me why
I stare into the lonely clouds
Until the day is done
And now without a friend
I'm waiting for the sun
For when the sun shines
it makes me feel OK
For like the sunshine
you brighten up my day
I know I've lost my only one
So now I'm waiting for the sun
For when the sun shines
it makes me feel OK
For like the sunshine
you brighten up my day
I know I've lost my only one
So now I'm waiting for the sun

Let Yourself Go
Listen to the music
as it fills the air
Moving to the rhythm
flowing everywhere
Gotta let your troubles
leave your weary mind
Come along with me
and leave them all behind
Let yourself go baby
to the magic sound
Everyone knows baby
If you're on your way
you'll make it some day
Rocking in the city
is the way to be
Rolling in the country
gonna set you free
Anytime you feel it don't you hesitate
Let it out mama before it's too late
Let yourself go baby
to the magic sound
Everyone knows baby
If you're on your way
you'll make it some day
Now music is the thing
to make you move around
You really start to move
when you hear this sound
So when you move remember
you're not by yourself
Look at me I'm rocking
so is everyone else
Let yourself go baby
to the magic sound
Everyone knows baby
If you're on your way
you'll make it some day

We Are One
A day can last forever
A dream can be so sweet
Reality rules everything
And every moment of time
The patterns of my life
And visions before my eyes
Don't appear as what they are
Nor what they seem to be
We're two different individuals
With feelings of our own
And minds different
from each other
Yet despite our difference
We are one
Drifting through a lifetime
Wanting to know more
Together we'll discover
That life is for the living

Can You Feel Me Die
What's come over me
Is this the way to be
I've lost my mind
Stepped out of time
Oh can you see me bleed
Suddenly it's clear
Your voice I cannot hear
And now it seems
I've lost my dreams
Oh can you know my fears
Nobody told me
How could I know
That you would go
If you would hold me
I'd make you see
You are for me
Silently I cry
Within myself I lie
Though life goes on
Mine's almost gone
Oh can you feel me die

Purple For Chicago
My hopes were high that day
I threw my cash away
The deal fell through somehow
But I understand it now
That I've got Purple for Chicago
It seemed the thing to do
To find my own way through
Without a helping hand
But now I understand
Since I've got Purple for Chicago
You came at the right time
To trade a smile or two
We both were satisfied
With Deep for Six we got our kicks
Our life has gone its way
Our happiness will stay
The trade so long ago
No one will ever know
When I got Purple for Chicago
What does it mean
