Out Of Time

You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line, on no
You're obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out
Out of there without a doubt
Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

My Girl

I got sunshine, on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside, I got the month of May.
I guess, you'll say,
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl) my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl.
I go so much honey, the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song, baby, than the birds in the trees.
I guess, you'll say,
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl) my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl.
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. (oooh)
I don't need no money, or count my pay.
I've got all the riches, baby, one man can take.
I guess, you'll say,
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl) my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl.
I got sunshine, on a cloudy day.
I even got the month of May.
(My girl) My girl. I'm talkin' 'bout my girl.

Backstreet Girl

I don't want you to be high
I don't want you to be down
Don't want to tell you no lie
Just want you to be around
Please come right up to my ears
You will be able to hear what I say
Don't want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girl
Please don't be part of my life
Please keep yourself to yourself
Please don't you bother my wife
That way you won't get no help
Don't try to ride on my horse
You're rather common and coarse anyway
Don't want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girl
Please don't you call me at home
Please don't come knocking at night
Please never ring on the phone
Your manners are never quite right
Please take the favors I grant
Curtsy and look nonchalant, just for me
Don't want you part of my world
Just you be my backstreet girl

Please Go Home

Please go home
Please go home
Well maybe I'm talkin to fast
But I won't be the first or the last
In the sea of the thousand you cast
C'mon please go home
I don't have to ask what you do
I just have to look to get you
Means nothing to me to get through
Please go home
I don't want to be on my own
Cause I can't talk much better alone
But I don't have to ring like a phone
Won't you please go home
Please go home
In some early part of your days
You were told of the devious ways
That you thought you could get without pay
Won't you please go home
You reach a state of your mind
Where it's madness to look and to find
Your false affections so kind
Please go home
Won't you please go home

Mother's Little Helper

What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
"Things are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Men just aren't the same today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pusuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day

Take It Or Leave It

You can turn off and on more times
than a flashin' neon sign.
When you want you're bad
But you can be so kind
Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friend
Just what you're gonna do now
You take it or leave it, it's just my life
There've been times when you tried
Makin' eyes at all my so called friends
Then you go, now you're back
But you can be so kind
Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friend
Just what you're gonna do now
You take it or leave it, it's just my life
Oh, la-la-la-ta-ta-ta-ta-la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-ta-ta-ta-ta-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-ta-ta-ta-ta-la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-ta-ta-ta-ta-la-la
I'm sick and tired of the smile that you give
When you don't come home at night
You said you'd call, that's a lie
But you could be so kind
Just take it or leave it
Don't tell your friend
Just what you're gonna do now
You take it or leave it, it's just my life
Oh, la-la-la-ta-ta-ta-ta-la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-ta-ta-ta-ta-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-ta-ta-ta-ta-la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-ta-ta-ta-ta-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-ta-ta-ta-ta-la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-ta-ta-ta-ta-la-la

Ride On, Baby

A smile on your face
But not in your eyes
You're looking through me
You don't feel it inside
Get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
Ride on, baby, ride on, baby
I could pick your face out in an FBI file
You may look pretty but I can't say the same for your mind
Ah ah ah
You walk up to me
And try to look shy
The red round your eyes
Says that you ain't a child
Get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
Ride on, baby, ride on, baby
Well i've seen your face in a trashy magazine
You know where you're going but I don't like the places you've been
Ah ah ah
Get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
Ride on, baby, ride on, baby
I can pick your face out from the front or behind
You may look pretty but I can't say the same for your mind
Ah ah ah
Laugh it a bit
Give it a try
If i'm not impressed
You can still cry
Get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
Ride on, baby, ride on, baby
By the time your thirty gonna look sixty-five
You won't look pretty and your friends will have kissed you goodbye
Ride on, baby
Ride on, baby...

Sittin' On A Fence

Since i was young i've been very hard to please
And i don't know wrong from right
But there is one thing i could never understand
Some of the sick things that a girl does to a man, so
I'm just sittin' on a fence
You can say i got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So i'm sittin on a fence
All of my friends at school grew up and settled down
And they mortgaged up their lives
One things not said too much, but I think it's true
They just get married cause there's nothing else to do, so
I'm just sittin' on a fence
You can say i got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So i'm sittin on a fence
I'm just sittin' on a fence
You can say i got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So i'm sittin on a fence
The day can come when you get old and sick and tired of life
You just never realize
Maybe the choice you made wasn't really right
But you go out and you don't come back at night, so
i'm just sittin' on a fence
You can say i got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So i'm sittin on a fence

Sing This All Together

Why don't we sing this song all together
Open our heads let the pictures come
And if we close all our eyes together
Then we will see where we all come from
Pictures of us through the steamy haze
Picture of us painted in our place
Why don't we sing this song all together
Open our heads let the pictures come
And if we close all our eyes together
Then we will see where we all come from
Why don't we sing this song all together
Open our heads let the pictures come
And if we close all our eyes together
Then we will see where we all come from
Pictures of us beating on our drum
Never stopping til the rain has come
Why don't we sing this song all together
Open our heads let the pictures come
And if we close all our eyes together
Then we will see where we all come from

Citadel

Men are armed shout who goes there
We have journeyed far from here
Armed with bibles make us swear
Candy and taffy, hope we both are well
Please come see me in the citadel
Flags are flying, dollar bills
Round the heights of concrete hills
You can see the pinnacles
Candy and taffy, hope we both are well
Please come see me in the citadel
In the streets are many walls
Hear the peasants come and crawl
You can hear their lovers call
Candy and taffy, hope we both are well
Please come see me in the citadel
Screaming people fly so fast
In their shiny metal cars
Throug the woods of steel and glass
Candy and taffy, hope we both are well
Please come see me in the citadel
