----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've known your kiss
And I've been close to heaven
The thrill of this
Will last me 'til my life is through
#01)
I know you got things to do
But everybody's expecting you
#02)
Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth
With those beautiful queens
#03)
Ooh, you got to do anything you wanna
Yeah! Got to got to love you
Yeah! Let me let me hold you
Yeah! Let me let me squeeze you
#04)
Now do you want my love
Or are we through?
#05)
You know we'll never get along
It makes me feel so blue
I'd go away, but what's the use?
I'd come right back to you
#06)
Speak to her, Mister Rainbow
And take her under your branches, Mister Tree
#07)
I appreciate your understanding of my generation's need for individuality
And need to rebel against the long file of look-alike faces
For us, there was a simple answer: hair
Hair on the face and hair on the head - lots of it
#08)
Two train tickets to L.A.
One round-trip the other way
I'll make my bed with feather balls
I start to move when forever calls
#09)
You ask her if she loves you
She answers "I do"
Your heart starts glowing inside
And then you will know she is just for you
#10)
I could love you, but why begin it?
'Cause there ain't any future in it
#11)
When we walk
You like to hold my hand
And when we talk
You tell me I'm your man
#12)
While we're dancing face to face
Oh, my darling, let's embrace
We'll be drifting into space
#13)
You smiled at me and really eased the pain
#14)
So many people need me
I've got so much, so much to do
But when my travelin' is over
#15)
I paid 300 years or more
Of slave-drivin' sweat and welts on my back
#16)
But I know that she's a girl
Just you wait and see
#17)
The lawn we were proud of
Is wavin' in hay
Our beautiful garden
Has withered away
#18)
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
How would you feel here in my place?
#19)
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
#20)
Just because you've become a young man now
There's still some things that you don't understand now
#21)
We've already said "so long"
#22)
Little girl, now you're mine
Come-a let me hug you
#23)
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
#24)
It's a year since he was here
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
You broke the rules
You laid it down for all to see
You laid it down for all to see
#T1)
Well, you know that I love you so
You're the sweetest thing in the wor-orld
#T2)
