Said And Done

I just can't imagine how it would be
To look in your eyes and feel misery
I can't believe what I would say
If I moved for your hand and you moved it away
Oh, and I may have done wrong
Won't you give some time
It won't take long
It's a yes-and-no game
All pain and no gain
You're here in my life
It's what I'm here for

Can't stop me from loving you
And nothing can take the place of you

All my advice I give it to thee
So take my heart and treat it honestly
If you don't take what I have for you
You'll never know what you're gonna lose

Oh, and I may have done wrong
Won't you give some time
It won't take me long
It's a yes-and-no game
All pain and no gain
You're here in my life
It's what I'm here for

CHORUS to fade

The lights shine down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh how I wish I were lying in the
Arms of Mary

She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh hw I wish I were lying in the
Arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had
To know--she put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned all she had
To show--she really gave all a boy could take

So now when I feel lonely
Still looking for the one and only
That's when I wish I were lying in the
Arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had
To know--she put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take...

The lights shine down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh how I wish I were lying in the
Arms of Mary

I've heard it before
And you're telling me no, and I'm crazy
We're talking too fast
We've just got to take it nice and slow
Sit back let it flow now

Don't be misunderstood
When baby, maybe, you know...

We're gonna be so good
Like I knew we would
Like only we could
Come on and hear me now
Gonna be so good
Cos it's understood
Like I knew we should
So good now, baby...

No matter the cost
When we're out on the town
Getting lazy
I'll show you who's boss
We're just gonna take it all away
No matter what they say now

Be so good
Be so good now

CHORUS

So good
Cos it's understood
You know we're good...

I've got to tell you
girl you're in danger
No one can save you now
You're going to be mine somehow
You didn't know me
But to me you're no stranger
Saw you each day every week
I was too shy to speak
I loved you long ago
I loved you even though
You never looked my way
But now I've got to say..

Oh Carol, gotta make you mine
Carol, it'll work out fine
I know it's love, I know it's love for real
I know it's love, I know the way I feel
Carol, you're my dream come true
Carol, when I look at you
Carol, say you'll never go
Carol, now I need you so

Carol when I hold you tight
I don't want to say goodnight

Can't you feel it
It's all around you
Reach out and take it all
don't be afraid to fall
Don't want to lose you
now that I've found you
I'll always be around
I'll never let you down

I loved you long ago
I loved you even though
You never looked my way
But now I've got to say..

CHORUS

Carol when I hold you tight
I don't want to say goodnight

CHORUS to fade

It's not time to make a change
Just relax--take it easy
You're still young--that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me--I am old
But I'm happy

I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To become when you've found
Something going on
But take your time--think a lot
Think of everthing you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not...

How can I try to explain?
When I do--it turns away again
And it's always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way, and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to go...

It's not time to make a change
Just sit down
and take it slowly
You're still young--that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me--I am old
But I'm happy

All the times, that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And it's hard
But it's harder to ignore it

If they were right--I'd agree
But it's them--they know
Not me That I have to go away
I know, I have to go.

You're the key to my life...

Rain on the window covers the trace
Of all the tears that I've had to waste
And now I'm missing you so
And I won't let you go away
Stain on the desktop where coffee cups lay
And memories of you forever will stay
And the scent of your perfume
And the smile on your face will remain...

And I never gave up hope when things got me down
But I just bit on my lip and my face began to frown
Cos that was just my pride and I've nothing else to hide
And now the way is clear and all I want to say is..

All of my life the doors have been closed now
And all of my dreams have been locked up inside
But you came along and captured my heart, girl
You're the key to my life
Yeah

Year after year, was blaming myself (blaming myself..)
For what I'd done, just thought of myself
I know that you'll understand (you'll understand...)
This was all my own fault, don't go away..

And I never gave up hope when things got me down
But I just bit on my lip
And my face began to frown
Cos that was just my pride and I've nothing left to hide
And now the way is clear and all I want to say is...

CHORUS

Girl you know that I feel for you
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
Stop the thunder and the pouring rain
You're the one that's going to stop the pain
Girl you know that I feel for you
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
Stop the thunder and the pouring rain
Listen to me can't you hear what I say...

CHORUS

Girl when you hold me
How you control me
You bend and you fold me
Any way you please

It must be easy for you
To love the things that you do
But just a pastime for you
I could never be

And I never know, girl
If I should stay or go
Cos the games that you play
Are driving me away...

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

Kisses and caresses
Are only minor tests, babe
Of love turned to stresses
Between a woman and a man
So if love everlasting
Isn't what you're asking
I'll have to pass, girl
I'm proud to take a stand

I can't continue guessing
Because it's only messing
With my pride, and my mind
So write down this time to time

CHORUS

I'm just a little old-fashioned
It takes more than a physical attraction
My initial reaction is
Honey give me a love
Not a fascimile of

CHORUS to fade
