as I look back,And all the thoughts I've had,They reflect just what I'm learning.Yes, you know that the hardest part,Yes, I say it is to stay on top,On top of a world forever churning.Well, you say you can laugh,But I can see that your eyes are glass.Well, do you see, can't you see, what I'm feeling?Yes, I've seen your face before.Why, I've seen it everywhere,Showing up to me without a scent revealing.Well, I said will it ever change?Will it stay the same?I'd surely like to know before it's over.Well, I said I played some.I said it won't be long,Won't be long before I stop and play it over.Oh, oh I've, I've seen your face before.Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?Oh, oh I've, I've been in one place too long.Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?Well, I see you standin' therewith your finger in the air.Ev'rything we do,you wanna leave it up to you.Who do you think you are?You think you are a star,try'n' to run the town,always try'n' to put us down.Well, you think that you're right.You think you're out of sight.Tell me something, mister;why'd you have to make us so uptight?Well, you say you've been try'n'.You know that you're ly'n'.I think you need some groovin'.Who do you think you're foolin' now?Well, you better start changin'.You life needs rearrangin'.You better do some talkin'or you better do some walkin' now.Yeah, you think that you're right.You think you're out of sight.Tell me something, mister;why'd you have to make us so uptight?I know what you're doing,all that you been doin' wrong.I don't know what you're feelin',oh, but you been feelin' long.Well, you think that you're right.Tell me something, mister;why'd you have to make us so uptight?Hey now, baby,well, I like your smile.Won't you come and talk to me.for a little while.Well, you're makin' me crazy,the way you roll them eyes.Won't you come and sit with me.I'll tell you all my lies.Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight.I feel I'm in the mood.Hey baby, the hour is late.I feel I've got to move.Well, hey now, baby,Don't you talk so fast.I'm just try'n' to make these good times,I'm try'n' to make it last.Ev'rything's getting hazy.Now honey, where'd you go?I just want to find out, baby,where'd you learn what you know?Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight.I feel I'm in the mood.Hey baby, the hour is late.I feel I've got to move.Well, hey now, baby,said, I like your style.You really got me, baby,way down deep inside.Oo, you drive me crazy.Baby, you're the one.I just want to rock-and-roll you woman,until the night is gone.Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight.I feel I'm in the mood.Hey baby, the hour is late.I feel I've got to move.Love won't see my comin'on a Sunday noon today.Still don't believe we're fadin',but now the world should wait.And now you're fina'lly list'nin'to what I have to say.Well, the time is right,and it is today.Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.Maybe we could talk about itand try to get it straight.After all these years, baby,maybe it's too late.But I really need tohave you by my side,And that's the only feelin',baby, I can't hide.Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.Well you aren't list'nin',I ain't talkin',we ain't gettin' nowhere.I keep tryin' to getthrough
