UhâOh, Love Comes to Town Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wait, wait for the moment to come
Stand up, stand up and take my hand
Believe, believe in mystery
Love, love is simple as one-two-three
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a know-it-all
I'm the smartest man around
That's right, you learn real fast
You're the smartest girl in town
[Chorus]
So, here come a riddle
Here come a clue
If you were really smart
You'd know what to do when I say
[Verse 2]
Jump back, sit back, get back, relax, it's okay
I've called in sick, I won't go to work today
I'd rather be with the one I love
I neglect my duties, I'll be in trouble, but
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been to college
And I've been to school
I've met the people
That you read about in books
[Chorus]
Here come a riddle
Here come a clue
If you were really smart
You'd know what to do when I say
Jet pilot gone out of control
Ship captain on the ground
Stockbroker make a bad investment
When love has come to town
[Verse 3]
Where, where is my common sense?
How did I get in a jam like this?
Believe, I believe in mystery
Love, love, love, love is simple as one-two-three
[Chorus]
Here come a riddle
Here come a clue
If you were really smart
You'd know what to do when I say
Why am I going out of my head
Whenever you're around?
The answer is obvious
Love has come to town
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Happy Day Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In my sensations
I believe that I was born with the things that I know
I want to talk like I read
Before I decide what to do
[Pre-Chorus]
And I fell all over and I couldn't stand up
I can't be critical, a heart won't stop
[Chorus]
Such a happy day for me
Bring that happy day to me
Send that happy day to me
And that happy day came to me, come to me, here it come
[Verse 2]
I'm only looking
Feel like my heart has a will of its own
I feel, feel nice inside right here
And now it's summer again
[Pre-Chorus]
The story I told, the story I made up
I was foolin' around but a heart can't stop
[Chorus]
Such a happy day for me
Bring that happy day to me
Send that happy day to me
And that happy day come to me, come to me, here it come
[Verse 3]
This boy is in motion
Some density moved right beside me
I want my sentence right here
But now I'm far away
[Pre-Chorus]
A sign was given but many years have passed
It cost a little bit to love you but a heart can't stop
[Chorus]
Such a happy day for me
Bring that happy day to me
Send that happy day to me
And that happy day came to me, come to me, here it come
It's alright
Who Is It? Lyrics
[Chorus]
Who, who is it?
Who, who is it?
Who, who is it?
Who, who is it?
What is it?

Who, who is it?
Who, who is it?

What is it?
Oh, oh baby, it's you!
[Bridge]
Watch out now, baby, 'cause I am in love with you
Watch out now, baby, 'cause I'm in love with you
If you don't love me I don't know what I'm going to do
[Chorus]
Who, who, who is it?
Who, who, who is it?
Who, who, who is it?
Who, who, who is it?

The Book I Read Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm writing 'bout the book I read
I have to sing about the book I read
I'm embarrassed to admit it hit the soft spot in my heart
When I found out you wrote the book I read
[Chorus]
So take my shoulders as they touch your arms
I'm a little cautious but I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Oh ho
[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm living in the future
I feel wonderful, I'm tipping over backwards
I'm so ambitious, I'm looking back
I'm running a race and you're the book I read
[Chorus]
So feel my fingers as they touch your arms
I'm spinning around but I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Ooh hoo, ah ha
Oh ho, ooh
[Bridge]
Na na na na
Na na na na na-na na

[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm living in the future

I'm so ambitious, I'm looking back
I'm running a race and you're the book I read
[Chorus]
Feel my fingers as they touch your arms
I'm spinning around and I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Ooh hoo, ah ha
Oh ho, ooh

Donât Worry About the Government Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see the clouds that move across the sky
I see the wind that moves the clouds away
It moves the clouds over by the building
I pick the building that I want to live in
[Verse 2]
I smell the pine trees and the creatures in the woods
I see the pinecones that fall by the highway
That's the highway that goes to the building
I pick the building that I want to live in
[Chorus]
It's over there, it's over there
My building has every convenience
It's gonna make life easy for me
It's gonna be easy to get things done
I will relax along with my loved ones
Loved ones, loved ones visit the building
Take the highway, park and come up and see me
I'll be working, working but if you come visit
I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important
[Post-Chorus]
Don't you worry 'bout me
I wouldn't worry about me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me
[Verse 3]
I see the states across this big nation
I see the laws made in Washington, D.C.Â
I think of the ones I consider my favorites
I think of the people that are working for me
[Verse 4]
Some civil servants are just like my loved ones
They work so hard and they try to be strong
I'm a lucky guy to live in my building
They all need buildings to help them along
[Chorus]
It's over there, it's over there
My building has every convenience
It's gonna make life easy for me
It's gonna be easy to get things done
I will relax along with my loved ones
Loved ones, loved ones visit the building
Take the highway, park and come up and see me
I'll be working, working but if you come visit
I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important
[Post-Chorus]
I wouldn't worry 'bout me
I wouldn't worry about me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Psycho Killer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous, and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me, I'm a real live wire
[Chorus]
Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Oh, oh
Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, aye-ya-ya-ya-ya
[Verse 2]
You start a conversation, you can't even finish it
You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?
[Chorus]
Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Oh, oh
Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, aye-ya-ya-ya-ya
[Bridge]
Ce que j'ai fait, ce soir-lĂ
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir-lĂ
RĂ©alisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire, okay
Aye-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-yeah
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite
[Chorus]
Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Oh, oh
Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, aye-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ooh
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Pulled Up Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh-ah!
[Verse 1]
Mommy, Daddy, come and look at me now
I'm a big man in a great big town
Years ago, who would believe it's true?
Goes to show what a little faith can do
[Pre-Chorus]
I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
[Chorus]
I slipped, and I got pulled, pulled up
I tripped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up
I slipped, and I got pulled, pulled up
I slipped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up
[Post-Chorus]
Pulled me up-up, pulled me up-up-up-ah!
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
[Verse 2]
I drift away to another land
Sleeping, dreaming, such a simple thing
I think of things that I might be
I see my name go down in history
[Pre-Chorus]
I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up!
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
[Chorus]
I slipped, and I got pulled, pulled up
I tripped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up
I tripped, and I got pulled, pulled up
I slipped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up!
[Post-Chorus]
Pulled me up-up, pulled me up-up-up-ah!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
[Bridge]
I got up 'cause you pulled me up
I stood up 'cause you pulled me up
I got up and that was because you pulled me up
I got up in a little while, you pulled me up
Up, pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
Aye-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
Aye-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
[Verse 3]
I cast a shadow on the living room wall
Dark and savage with a profile so sharp
Keep that wonderful food on the table
There's really no hurry, I'll eat in a while
[Pre-Chorus]
I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up!
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
[Chorus]
I slipped, and I got pulled, pulled up
I tripped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up
I slipped, and I got pulled, pulled up
I slipped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up!
[Post-Chorus]
Pulled me up-up, pulled me up-up-up, oh I got!
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-yeah
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya!
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya!
Pulled me up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up!
