It's hard to be
It's hard for me to keep arm's length from my baby

Can't you see
When I'm away from her it sho' nuff drives me crazy

Something inside of me....When she's gone I miss her so
I wanna tell her how I feel....Just gotta let her know

When I'm alone with her
And she's in my arms I'm in heaven

It's all I see
In my dreams, we'll be happy together

Side by side
I hope that our love will stay this way forever

Something inside of me....Got a feelin' that won't let go
I wanna tell her how I feel....I just gotta let her know

Lookin' through her eyes
I see a paradise, no mistake she's full of fire

Like a real live wire....A house on fire
She's my burnin', she's my burnin', burnin' desire

Well it's hard to be
It's hard for me to keep arm's length from my baby

Oh can't you see
When I'm away from her it sho' nuff drives me crazy

Something inside of me....When she's gone I miss her so
I wanna tell her how I feel....I just gotta let her know

When I'm alone with her
And she's in my arms I'm in heaven

Like a real live wire....A house on fire
She's my burnin', she's my burnin', burnin' desire

Hard to be....It's hard for me
It's hard to keep, keep me from my baby

That's my baby in the white boots....That's my baby on the floor
That's my baby havin' some fun....And yellin' more, more, more

That's my baby in the short skirt....Woo, out of control
Ah she becomes another woman....When she rocks and rolls

She's having a good time....Goin' round and round
She's really rippin' it up....You know she can't sit down, oh no

That's my baby lookin' so good....You know I can't explain
How when she's dancing in the white boots....It makes her go insane

She's having a good time....Goin' round and round
She's really rippin' it up....You know she can't sit down, oh no

That's my baby in the short skirt
With the white boots on

That's my baby in the white boots....That's my baby on the floor
That's my baby havin' some fun....And yellin' more, more, more

She's having a good time....Goin' round and round
She's really rippin' it up....You know she can't sit down, oh no

That's my baby in the short skirt
With the white boots on

With the white boots on
In the short skirt
With the white boots on

Can't explain....You know I can't explain
How when she's dancing in the white boots....It makes me go insane

White boots, white boots
White boots, white boots

Say things to me like a cowgirl would
I'll do tricks for you like a cowboy should
You look romantic layin' in the hay
I need you tonight in a new kinda way
When you look at me with those eyes
It makes me start to fantasize

Do it to me like I know you could
So I can do it to you baby like a Texan should

Ridin' the range I think of you
I dig your chili you know it's true
Make big money put it in the bank
That longhorn Caddy got a great big tank

Do it to me like I know you could
So I can do it to you baby like a Texan should

Well you're the kinda woman who's above the rest
Well nothing for me but the best
You say you need a fella who really can
Do it to you good like a Texan man

Massive wardrobe of cowboy clothes
Top of my head to the tip of my toes
Ah you look so good in my hat with fringe on it
So put on my boots mmm doggone it

Do it to me like I know you could
I do it to you like a Texan should
Do it to me baby like I know you could
So I can do it to you baby like a good Texan should

Look over here....Look over there
Look all around me everywhere
Well it doesn't really matter
Which way I wanna go
'Cause the night is a fallin'
And I'm a long long way from home
I am a long long way from home, yes I am

Listen to this....Listen to that
People tryin' to tell me
Where it's at
But it really doesn't matter
I hear it all the time
And I'm standing at the crossroads
'Bout to move on down the line
About to move on down the line

Well I've been over here....Been over there
Friends all around me everywhere
But it really doesn't matter
Which way I wanna go
I'm a million miles from nowhere
And that's a long long way from home
And that's a long long way from home

Yeah a million miles from nowhere
And that's a long long way from home
And that's a long long way from home

"One night while sleeping in my bed I had a beautiful dream
That all the people of the world got together on the same wavelength
And began helping one another
Now in this dream, universal love was the theme of the day
Peace and understanding and it happened this way"

The sick, the hungry, had smiles on their faces
The tired and the homeless had family all around
The streets and the cities were all beautiful places
And the walls came tumblin' down

People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future
Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

I had a vision of blue skies from sea to shining sea
All the trees in the forest stood strong and tall again
Everything was clean and pretty and safe for you and me
The worst of enemies became the best of friends

People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
Children of the world look forward to a future

Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

Remember that, remember that
Remember that, remember that

People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
Children of the world look forward to a future

Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

Woke up this morning I was all alone saw your picture by the telephone
I was missing you oh so bad
Wish I had you here to hold all I've got is this touch-tone phone
So I guess I'll give you a call

Operator help me please get thru to my baby way overseas
Time's a wastin' oh so fast
Hello baby tell me is that you I don't know what we're gonna do
But for now I'm glad I got you on the line

Well it feels so fine knowing you're all right
But you're miles away lord it's not the same

Well I woke up this morning I was all alone saw your picture by the telephone
I've been missing you baby oh so bad
I love you baby with all my might come on home and squeeze me tight
Long distance lovin's gonna drive me out of my mind
