one, two, three, four)

I, I love, love
And I, and I love you
Oh you, you, yeah you

And you, you, love, love
And you, yes you, you love me
Yeah you, you, yeah you

And when I'm holding you
What a feeling
Seems so good to be true
That I'm telling you all
That I must be dreaming

And I, and I, I love you
Oh you, oh you, yeah you

And when I'm holding you
What a feeling
Seems so good to be true
That I'm telling you all
That I must be dreaming

Now I, oh I, I love, love
And I, yeah I, I love you, I love you
Oh you, you, oh you

Oh, you know that I love you, oh oh oh
Oh, you know that I love you, I love you, I, I said I love you

Scan not a friend with a microscopic glass
You know his faults, now let the foibles pass
Life is one long enigma, my friend
So read on, read on, the answer's at the end

Don't be so hard on the ones that you love
It's the ones that you love we think so little of
Don't be so hard on the ones that you need
It's the ones that you need we think so little of

The speech of flowers excels the flowers of speech
But what's often in your heart, is the hardest thing to reach
And life is one long mystery, my friend
So live on, live on, the answer's at the end

Don't be so hard on the ones that you love
It's the ones that you love we think so little of
Don't be so hard on the ones that you need
It's the ones that you need we think so little of

Don't be so hard on the ones that you love
It's the ones that you love we think so little of
Don't be so hard on the ones that you need
It's the ones that you need we think so little of

Oh, we think so little of the ones that we love, sometimes
Isn't it a pity how we hurt
The ones that we love the most of all
The ones we shouldn't hurt at all

You know my faults, now let the foibles pass
'Cause life is one long enigma, my friend
Live on, live on, the answer's at the end

Don't be so hard on the ones that you love
It's the ones that you love we think so little of
Don't be so hard on the ones that you need
It's the ones that you need we think so little of

Don't be so hard on the ones that you love
It's the ones that you love we think so little of
Don't be so hard on the ones that you need
It's the ones that you need we think so little of

The ones that we love
We hurt the most of all, sometimes
And isn't it a pity how
We hurt the ones that we love (fade)

Found myself out on a limb
But I'm happier than I've ever been
But this guitar can't keep from crying

Learned to get up when I fall
Can even climb Rolling Stone walls
But this guitar can't keep from crying

This here guitar can feel quite sad
Can be high strung, sometimes get mad
Can't understand or deal with hate
Responds much better to love

I though by now you knew the score
But you missed the point just like before
And this guitar can't keep from crying

(This) guitar, it can't keep from crying
This guitar can't keep from crying

This here guitar can feel quite sad
Can be high strung, sometimes get mad
It can't understand or deal with hate
Responds much better to love

While you attack, create offence
I'll put it down to your ignorance
But this guitar it can't keep from crying
This guitar can't keep from crying

This guitar can't keep from crying
This guitar can't keep from crying

My baby, ooh
You know I love you
My baby, ooh
You know I love you

I won't say it's forever
Right now while we're together

You're my baby, ooh
You know I love you
My baby, ooh
You know I love you

I will be where you want me
I will try to keep you happy
If only you say you're my baby, ooh
You know I love you
You're my baby
I do anything for you
I'd run around the world for you
I do what you want me to

Ooh, you know that I love you
My, my baby, ooh

Wise man, you won't be
To follow the like of me
In this world made of stone
Such a long way to go

We may disagree
We all have the right to be
In this world made of stone
Such a long way to go
Such a long, long way from home

And we may disagree
We all have the right to be
In this world made out of stone
It's such a long, long way to go

The wiser you may be
The harder it can be to see
In this world made of stone
Such a long, long way to go
Such a long way from home

In this world made of stone
Such a long, long way to go
And such a long way from OM

Can't stop thinking about you
Can't stop thinking about you
It's no good living without you
I can't stop thinking about you

Can't stop thinking about you
Can't stop thinking about you
And it's no good living without you
I can't stop thinking about you

When the night-time comes around
Daylight has left me, I
I can't take it if I don't see you no more
I can't help it, I need your loving so much more

And I can't stop thinking about you
Can't stop thinking about you
And it's no good living without you
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about you, ooh

Can't stop thinking about
Can't stop thinking about
Can't stop thinking about you

When the morning comes around
And the daylight gets to me, I
I can't take it if I don't see you no more
I can't help it, I need your loving so much more

And I can't stop thinking about you, oh yeah
I can't stop thinking about you
And it's no good living without you
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about you

I can't stop thinking about
Can't stop thinking about
Can't stop thinking about you

(repeat and fade:)
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking about you

The sun came into view
As I sat with the tears in my eyes
The sun came up on you
And as you smiled, the teardrop, it dried

I don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home along with you

Tired of midnight blues

The sun came up so high
And as it shone, I realized your love
The sun shone in your eyes
And as you smiled, you realized it too

Don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home with you

Tired of midnight blues

Don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home with you

Tired of midnight blues

The sun went down the sky
Way up the clouds told me that they knew
The moon came up so high
And as you smiled, I knew that you knew too

Don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home with you

Tired of midnight blues

I don't know where I had been
But I know what I have seen
Made me chill right to the bone
Made me wish that I'd stayed home with you

And I thought to close my mouth
With a padlock on the night
Leave the battlefield behind
Stay out the fight
Not lose my sight

Now I only want to be
With no pistol at my brain
But at times it gets so lonely
Could go insane
Could lose my aim

Now I only want to live
With no teardrops in my eyes
But at times it feels like no chance
No clear blue skies
Grey cloudy lies

No clear blue skies
Grey cloudy lies

(I'm not cheating)

Oooh, Oooh
Everything is Dinky Doo
Everything you do
You, the king of La-Di-Da
Pretty very out far
Never oversits, he understands
Like the back of the hand
He should sing in a band, oh yeah

Oooh, oooh
People think he's Loopey Loo
And when they look at his shoes
He's a rocking sausage roll
He gets it in the goal
Healthy little 'brown affair'
And when he washes his hair
He'll get a round or a square
Get them singing

Oooh, oooh
Everyone from Oxford town
Way down to the Rio Grande

Knows his harbour quays
His skin tight hands, without seggs
His name is Legs

[talking]

Oooh, oooh
Coolies sweating in Hong Kong
Run along to the Mardi Grass

Risking asian flu to meet the man
Who lays the eggs
His name is Legs

He's a cure for whooping cough
And if the going gets rough
Get lined up, come Sikh, come Czar
No matter who you are
We could get along and slide a rule
And if you don't play fools
While Larry plays pool
You'll hear him singing

Oooh, oooh
[talking]
Oooh, oooh
