Just an old fashioned love song playing on the radio
And wrapped around the musicĀ 
Is the sound of someone promising they'll never go


You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on
No need in bringing 'em back
'Cause they've never really gone

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you (dada, dada, da), ooh
Ooh

Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind

Ā 

And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me

Ā 

De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind?

Up here in the city feels like things are closing in
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out

I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds, they blow across the south

Oh, my sweet Carolina

What compels me to go?
Oh, my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home

Well, I was only a kid, didn't know enough to be afraid
Playing the game, but not the way the big boys played
Nothing to lose, maybe I had something to trade
The way the big wheel spins

Ā 

Well, I was only a kid, on a holy crusade
I placed no trust in a faith that was ready-made
Take no chances on paradise delayed
So I do a slow fade

Now is there anybody
Got a sweet little woman like mine?
There's got to be somebody
Got a, got a sweet little woman like mine

Ā 

Yeah, now can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Oh, can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?

Ā 

I'm talking, talking 'bout my baby (she's some kind of wonderful)
Talking 'bout my baby (she's some kind of wonderful)
Talking 'bout my baby (she's some kind of wonderful)

Ooh wah, ooh wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Ooh wah, ooh wah c'mon kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City

Ā 

He's kind of tall
He's really fine
Some day I hope to make him mine, all mine
And he's neat
And oh so sweet
And just the way he looked at me
He swept me off my feet

I'm goin' back to New York City
I just can't wait no more for you
I got so lonely, sold what you gave me
'Cept that raincoat, the famous blue

And I don't need time to think about it
I don't let reminders get me down like before
But you know I used to know you
Back when local bars and broken hearts were home

And we were open all night long

Da Da, ooooh
Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on (play on, play on, play on...)
Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We're going to Party, Karamu, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
We're going to Party, Karamu, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!

Ā 

All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long! (all night), Ooh, yeah (all night)

Got no time for spreadin' roots
The time has come to be gone
And though our health we drank a thousand times
It's time to ramble on

Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women with too many pills, said
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun at the ready, gonna fire at will
'Cause I shoot to thrill, and I'm ready to kill
I can't get enough and I can't get my fill
I shoot to thrill, play to kill

Well you take my silver dollar, take those silver dimes,
Fix it up together in some alligator wine.


I can hear the drums, voodoo all night long,
Mister Charlie tells me I can't do nothing wrong.
Jubba jubba, wolly bully, looking high, looking low,
Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, Mister Charlie told me so.

Come on down, I know how I'm gonna make you come clear
Don't you know it ain't no thing to be for?
So, don't take more than you need
It's something that I'll do later
Now, it's over my

It's under my voodoo

If there's something you need
All that you'll never, ever, ever had
I know you've never had it
Ohh honey, don't you just sit there crying
Don't you sit there feeling bad
No, no, no

You better get up
Now don't you understand?
And raise your hand
Hey, hey, hey
I said raise your hand

When I was a young boy
Said put away those young boy ways
Now that I'm gettin' older, so much older
I long for those young boy days

With a girl like you
With a girl like you

Ā 

Lord knows there are things we can do, baby
Just me and you
Come on and make it, uh

Ā 

Hurts so good
Come on baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good

Oh, but he watches her sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at he

[Verse 2: Astrud Gilberto]
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles
But she doesn't see

One fine morning, girl, I'll wake up
Wipe the sleep from my eyes
Go outside and feel the sunshine
Then I know I'll realize
That as long as you love me, girl, we'll fly

Ā 

And on that mornin' when I wake up
I'll see your face inside a cloud
See your smile inside a window
Hear your voice inside a crowd
Calling, "Come with me baby and we'll fly"

You see she was gonna be an actress
And I was gonna learn to fly
She took off to find the footlights
And I took off for the sky


And here, she's acting happy
Inside her handsome home
And me, I'm flying in my taxi
Taking tips
(And getting stoned!)

You said you were an actress
Yes, I believe you are
I thought you'd be a star
So I drank up all the money,
Yes, I drank up all the money,
With these phonies in this Hollywood bar,
These friends of mine in this Hollywood bar
Ā 

Loneliness and frustration
We both came down with an acute case
And when the lights came up at two
I caught a glimpse of you
And your face looked like something
Death brought with him in his suitcase

Everything freezes and I'm in an
Old photograph, I'm back from the start
Caught a glimpse of your eye
Everything freezes and I'm
I'm ready to give you
My heart

Everyone can see we're together
As we walk on by (and)
And we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie (all)

Ā 

All of the people around us, they say, yeah, yeah
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose

Ā 

We are family
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
I got all my sisters with me
Woah, ah, woah, ah, ah

ā€¦Ā I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me, and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this

Ā 

ā€¦Ā I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you

She said "Where ya been?" I said "No place special"
She said "You look different" I said "Well, I guess"
She said "You been gone" I said "That's only natural"
She said "You gonna stay?" I said "If you want me to, yes."

Isis oh Isis you're a mystical child
What drives me to you is what drives me insane
I still can remember the way that you smiled
On the fifth day of May in the drizzling rain

Throughout the night
When there's no direct light
And a thin veil of clouds
Keeps the stars out of sight
I can smell the colors
Outside on my lawn
The moist green organic
That my feet tread upon
