I'm like a strange cat running in the heat of the night
I've got a fire in my eyes, got a date with delight
Some kinda moaning in in the heart of the storm
I'm gonna love you so hard, you'll want your loving done
Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you
Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you

With my one hand loose I aim to satisfy
You like my loving machine - I like your bloodshot eye
Real gone girl, jumping back with the beat
I'll be your tall cool one with the crazy feet
Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you --

I'm so tall and you're so cute
Let's play wild like wildcats do
You're gonna rock your tall cool one
I'm gonna say that, I'm gonna say that, I'm gonna say that

You stroll, you jump, you're hot and you tease
'Cause I'm your tall cool one and I'm built to please
You stroll, you jump, you're hot and you tease
'Cause I'm your tall cool one and I'm built to please

[Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you --]

Move over mister - step on back in the crowd
'Cause she's a whole lotta sister 'bout to drive me wild
Lotta places I've been, lotta names, lotta words
No one compares to my real gone girl
Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you --

I'm so tall and you're so cute [etc repeated]

You stroll, you jump [etc repeated]

[Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you --]

If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
If mountains crumble to the sea, baby
There will still be you and me, ee-yeah

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, oh-oh-oh
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong
Together we shall go until we die

Happiness, no more be sad
Happiness, unblessed

(Guitar Solo)

And so today, my world it smile
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
Thanks to you it will be done, baby baby, whoa yeah
Cause you to me are the only one, the only one, the only one, the only one

Kind woman, I give you my all
Kind woman, nothing more

So, if the sun refused to shine
Ohhh, I would still be loving you
If mountians crumble to the sea, baby baby, ohhh
There will still be you and me, you and me, ohhh

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba, ohh
I wanna thank you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba, oh yeah
I'm gonna thank you, oh yeah, okay

(Guitar Solo)
Ooooh yeah

Cause I shoved my heart out, baby
I never let you go, baby
Ohh yeah
Oh, I wanna thank you
To ask me why, baby
To wonder why, baby, yeah yeah
I wanna thank you, you, you

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
I can't play with you no 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
Gonna let your hair hang down
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day lo-o-o-ong
You're in 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
Oh, that's the way it ought to be, ahh-ohh, ohh-ahh, ahh-ahh, ohh-ohh, dont you know
Mama said, ohh, mama said
That's the way it ought to stay, ohh-hoh

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

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers
But all that lives is born to die
And so I say to you that nothing really matterrs
And all you do is stand and cry

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

That's the way
Ohh, that's the way it oughta be, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, no-no-no
Oh, dont you know now
Mama said, oh, mama said that's the way it's gonna stay, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, ohhh

Dance by me close - tell 'em all to go
One's for the money - but I'm through with the show
Move with me gently, oh so slow
Hold me and maybe we'll never let go, never let go
I'm through with sneakin' - been cutting it close
Through with the two-step, where the rhythm is law
Through with the two-step, where the rhythm is law
Oh, yes, it's love in any key
You opened up the door - now I know it's got to be

Now my cards on the table - hands on the deck
Now A is for able - no words - pause for breath
My willing baby, now can't you see
Little girl, it's not for me
So you waltzed into my life - one two three
Warmed up your smile - oh let it please be me, please let it be me
You swish and swirl - oh, swing and sway
Stay till the sun comes, and don't go away --

Tie dye on the highway - see the garlands in your hair
If you're going my way, come along
What a beautiful sky - we just had to stop and stare
See the beautiful colours fill the air

(Oh, just the messengers of peace)
Oh, do you remember - across the burning years
Sweet smell of the mystery I recall
Hang me on Miguel - a smile through all my fears
O high Olympus, touch our soul

With the messengers of peace and the company of love
All the passion and release, and love from up above
Say you will come back with me - say you will come back

Tie dye on the highway - the wheels still turn around
Dance to the mariachi - take my hand
Hope springs eternal when laughter's feeling sound
Move in the mystic wasted land

With the messenger of peace and the company of love
All the passion and release, and love from up above
(You know that it is true)
From the desert in my art, where the innocent may love
All the passions they release, and the love from up above
Say you will come back with me - say you will come back
Say you will come back with me - say you will come back

It's in the elevator - you can hear it in the hall
It's where you didn't want it - it's coming through the wall
Sneakin' in the bathroom, powdering your nose
Creeping in the johnny when you thought it didn't know
'Cause you're too loud, too loud, too loud
Yes you're too loud, too loud, too loud

Smile across the front page - watch the cover spread
Vanity's the video - an epic in your bed
Coke files, profiles - Johnny's in a spin
In the name of entertainment on the show that never ends
'Cause you're too loud, too loud, too loud
Yes you're too loud, too loud, too loud

Talk to them, Victor
[This time - that's right now]
[Hold tightly - that's right now --]

Staring at the ceiling - tired of counting sheep
Alone with indiscretion it's impossible to sleep
Rings on your fingers - bells on your toes
You're never there without it if you're ever there at all
'Cause you're too loud, too loud, too loud
Yes you're too loud, too loud, too loud

That's right now [followed by a spoken run-out]

I had a dream last night - didn't come as a surprise
When I woke up wet with the moon in my eyes
Just the same old dream - like the one before
But this time I thought you were there for sure
Hot-blooded, red-handed by me
I don't know what I'm gonna do

So when I wake up - every night it's the same
Just lying there staring and confused yet again
I could swear now I do as I fumble in the dark
For the line or the light from the tear in my heart
It's here again - hot-blooded, heavy-headed, baby - looking for you
And here it comes again --

Now I will carry the torch - I will come with the flame
For the friend that I meet in my sleep with no name
Had a dream last night - didn't come as a surprise
When I woke up wet with the moon in my eyes
Here I am, here I am again, looking for you
And here it comes again --
Every night it's the same --
