Made In America

You've been so quiet lately

Sometimes i wonder has the cat got your tongue

You seem to be a thousand miles away

Don't look me in the eyes and say it's o.k.

Don't lie

I got this funny feelin' baby

That it's going to be that time again

When you have the need for someone else

I know you better than you know yourself



(*) sometimes it takes the strength of a woman

To understand the weakness of her man

It's gonna take the strength of this woman

To keep fightin' for the lovin' of her man



And darlin' when you've been satisfied

And it isn't new to you no more

Think of me, i'll be here alone

Waitin' for you to find your way back home



Repeat (*)



Oh i know how hard you tried

To hide this all from me

But if you keep a silent heart

I can't give you what you need

So hold me close and hold me tight

Let's say goodnight, and never say goodbye



Repeat (*)

You can have this dance with me

You can hold my hand and whisper

In my ear sweet words, that i

Love to hear



(*) don't be shy, just take your time

I'd like to get to know you

I'd like to make you mine



I've been waiting, sitting here so patiently

For you to come over

And have this dance with me



(**) and my number is beechwood 4-5789

You can call me up and have a date

Any old time



Repeat (*)



Beechwood 4-5789

You can call me up and have a date

Any old time



Repeat (*)

Repeat (**)



Beechwood 4-5789

You can call me up and have a date

Any old time

Where's the word for the sadness

Where's the poetry in the pain

Where's the color in the stain where the tears have fallen

It's gone, it's just gone



Where's the method to this madness

As we create this suffering

And we do each other in and we still hold on

But it's gone, it's just gone



(*) he says it's gone

And he can't go on a living a memory

Mulling it over endlessly

Why is that so hard for me to see

He says it's gone

And he can't go on trying to live a lie

And when he cries, i know it's over

But i may never know why



There's no face in the locket

There's no place for the past

I'll put it back in my pocket

It was never meant to last

It's just gone



Repeat (*)



There's no word for the sadness

There's no poetry in the pain

There's no color in the stain where the tears have fallen

It's gone, it's just gone



It's gone, it's just gone

Well, it's gone

Children

It was more fun to be children

We just took life as it happened

Run thru the days

Don't look behind



Over wink of an eye and it's over

What a surprise to discover

We were people ourselves

What kind of people did we want to be

No answer ever came to me



It didn't sleep at all last night

Mom, i've come to you like yesterday

About today

Mom, i'm afraid

Hon, come and sit by my side

Listen to me

Words come so hard

But what my heart says

I will give you



Because you are in love

Your eyes begin to open

As if you had awaken from a sleep

Because you are in love

You use imagination

And lose your concentration

When someone drops his name

You're back in his arms as always

Your day-dreams work out that way

It's all just a trick you mind plays

The more love grows

The more it says the same



(same little girl who's frightened)

But i love him so

(same little girl who's sure)

That she loves him so

(sees with a woman's vision knows what a woman knows)



Because we are in love

We reach for our tomorrows

And know we won't be lonely

In laughter and in sorrows

Where love abides

There is the place we'll keep our love forever

You and i

Because we are in love



When love abides

There is the place we'll keep our home forever

You and i

Beacuse we are in love

When you've got what it takes

You've got nothing to hide

You've got miles of feelings

And acres of pride

You've got it

You've really got it



When you know who you are

Then you live what you feel

You give what you can

And it's good when you've really got it

And when you've got it



(*) let it out

Let it show

Let'em know

Inside you've got it

Let it shine like a fine tomorrow

For when you do

The feeling comes back to you

What a difference it makes

When you've got what it takes

What a difference it makes

When you've got it



When you're sure of your heart

Then you give it away

And love is a promise

You keep every day

You know it

And when you know it



You begin to believe

You'll do more than survive

That the best part of being is being alive

You feel it

And when you feel it



Repeat (*)



When a difference it makes

When you've got what it takes

What a difference it makes

When you've got it



When a difference it makes

When you've got what it takes

What a difference it makes

When you've got it everyday
