Measuring a summer's day,
I only finds it slips away to grey.
The hours they bring me pain.

Tangerine, tangerine,
Living reflection from a dream.
I was her love she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between.

Thinking how it used to be,
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.

Tangerine, tangerine,
Living reflection from a dream.
I was her love she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between.

How come twenty four hours,
Baby sometimes seem to slip into day.
Oh twenty-four hours,
Baby sometimes seem to slip into day.
When a minute seems like a lifetime,
Ooh baby when I feel this way.

Sittin lookin at the clock,
Oh time moves so slow.
I've been watchin for the hands to move,
Until I just can't look no more.

How come twenty four hours,
Baby sometimes slip into day.
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Baby when I feel this way.

To sing a song for you,
I recall you used to say.
Oh baby this one's for me to you,
Which in the end is you anyway.

How come twenty four hours,
Baby sometimes slip into day.
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Oh baby when I feel this way.

There was a time that I stood tall,
In the eyes of other men.
But by my own choice I left you,
And now I can't get back again.

How come twenty four hours,
Sometimes slip into day.
Well well well,
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Baby when I feel this way.
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Oh baby when I feel this way.
I feel this way.

Then as it was,
Then again it will be.
Though the course may change sometimes,
Rivers always reach the sea.

Like stars of fortune,
Each has separate rays.
On the wings of maybe,
Down in birds of prey.
Kind of makes me feel sometimes,
I didn't have to grow.
But as the eagle leaves the nest,
He got so far to go.

Changes fill my time,
Baby that's all right with me.
In the midst I think of you,
And how it used to be.

Did you ever really need somebody?
And really need them bad.
Did you ever really want somebody?
The best love you ever had.
Do you ever remember me baby?
Did it feel so good.
Because it was just the first time,
And you knew you would.

Turn the eyes and I sparkle,
Senses growing keen.
Tasting love along the way,
See your feathers preen.
Kind of make you feel sometimes,
Didn't have to go.
We are eagles of one nest,
The nest is in our souls.

Vixen in my dreams,
With great surprise to me.
Never thought I'd see your face,
The way it used to be.
Oh darling, oh darling.

I'm never gonna leave you.
Ten years gone, holding on, ten years gone.

If the sun refused to shine,
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you and me.

Kind woman,
I give you my all.
Kind woman,
Nothing more.

Little drops of rain,
Whisper of the pain,
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong,
With you there is no wrong,
Together we shall go until we die.
Inspiration's what you are to me,
Inspiration, look see.

And so today,
My world it smiles,
Your hand in mine we walk the miles.
Thanks to you it will be done,
For you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad,
Happiness, I'm glad.

If the sun refused to shine,
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you and me.

That's alright mama
That's alright for you
That's alright mama
Any way you say will do

That's alright
That's alright

????

De de de
I need your love
I need your love
That's all right, any way you do

Any way you do
Any way you do

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you,
I can't play with you know more.
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me,
My friend the boy next door.

I can't believe what people saying,
You're gonna let your hair hang down.
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long,
You're on the darker side of town.

And when I'm out I see you walking,
Why don't your eyes see me.
Could it be you've found another game to play,
What did mama say to me.

That's the way,
That's the way it ought to be.
Mama say,
That's the way it ought to stay.

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes?
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?

Yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die.
And so I say to you that nothing really matters,
And all you do is stand and cry.

I don't know what to say about it,
When all you ears have turned away.
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,
Is that the way it ought to stay?

That's the way,
That's the way it ought to be.
Mama say,
That's the way it ought to stay.

Think it over in your pretty little head
Think it over what you just said
Are you sure I'm not the one?
( ? )

Well think it over
Yes think it over
Oh my heart grows cold and old

Think it over and let me know
Think it over darlin' don't be slow
Are you sure I'm not the one?
( ? ) now let me know

Well think it over
Ahh think it over
Oh my heart grows cold and older

Hey! Think it over, over and over
Think it over, over and over

Grease me down,
Good electric.
Like the way you hold the road,
Mama it ain't no sin.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Trouble free transmission,
Helps your oil flow.
Mama let me pump your gas,
Mama let me do it all.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Take that heavy metal,
Underneath your hood.
Baby I could rev all night,
Leave a big pile of tubes.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Automobile club covered,
Really built in style.
Special tradition,
Mama let me feast my eyes.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Factory air conditioned,
Took me by surprise.
Guaranteed to run for hours,
Mama brand new tires.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Grooving on the freeway,
Driving on the road.
From now on my gasoline
Will even be free of lead.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Come to me for service,
Every hundred miles.
Baby let me change your valves,
Fix your overdrive.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Fully automatic,
Comes in any size,
Makes me wonder what I did,
Before I got synchronized.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Baby like suspension,
I just couldn't hold.
I'm so glad I took a look,
Inside you showroom door.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Asked sweet mama,
Let me be her kid.
She said "You might get hurt,
If you don't keep it hid."
Well I know my baby,
If I see her in the dark.
I said I know my rider,
If I see her in the dark.

Now I going to Rosedale,
Take my rider by my side.
Still barrelhouse,
If it's on the riverside.
I know my baby,
Is really sloppy drunk.
I know my mama,
A brownskin but she ain't no plum.

See my baby tell her,
Tell her hurry home.
Had no loving since,
My baby been gone.
See my baby,
Tell hurry on home.
I ain't had my right mind,
Since my rider's been gone.

Hey she promises,
She's my rider.
I wanna tell you,
She's my rider.
I know you're mine,
She's my rider.
She ain't but sixteen,
But she's my rider.

I'm going to Rosedale,
Take my rider by side.
Anybody argue with me man,
I'll keep them satisfied.
Well see my baby tell her,
Tell her the shape I'm in.
Ain't had no loving,
Since you know when.

She's a kindhearted lady,
She studies evil all the time.
She's a kindhearted woman,
She studies evil all the time.

Squeeze my lemon,
Till the juice runs down my leg.
Squeeze it so hard,
I fall right out of bed.
Squeeze my lemon,
Till the juice runs down my leg.
The way that you squeeze it girl,
I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed.

She's my kindhearted lady,
I'm gonna take my rider by my side.
I said her front teeth are lined with gold.
She's gotta mortgage on my body,
Gotta lien on my soul.
She's my brownskin sugar plum.
