Passage

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange

When i try to explain how i feel

That i still need your love after all that i've done

You won't believe me

All you will see is a girl you once knew

Although she's dressed up to the nines

At sixes and sevens with you



I had to let it happen; i had to change

Couldn't stay all my life down at heel

Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So i chose freedom

Running around trying everything new

But nothing impressed me at all

I never expected it to



Don't cry for me, argentina

The truth is i never left you

All through my wild days

My mad existence

I kept my promise

Don't keep your distance



And as for fortune, and as for fame

I never invited them in

Though it seemed to the world they were all i desired

They are illusions

They're not the solutions they promised to be

The answer was here all the time

I love you and hope you love me



Don't cry for me, argentina



Don't cry for me, argentina

The truth is i never left you

All through my wild days

My mad existence

I kept my promise

Don't keep your distance



Have i said too much? there's nothing more

I can think of to say to you

But all you have to do is look at me to know

That every word is true

In your mind you have capacities you know

To telepath messages through the vast unknown

Please close your eyes and concentrate

With every thought you think

Upon the recitation we're about to sing



(*) calling occupants of interplanetary craft

Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft



Repeat (*)



You've been observing our earth

And we'd like to make a contact with you

We are your friends



Calling occupants of interplanetary craft

Calling occupants of interplanetary ultra-emissaries



We've been observing your earth

And one night we'll make a contact with you

We are your friends



Calling occupants of interplanetary quite extraordinary craft



And please come on peace, we beseech you

Only a landing will teach them

Our earth may never survive

So do come, we beg you

Please interstellar policeman

Oh, won't you give us a sign

Give us a sign that we've reached you



With your mind you have ability to form

And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm

You close your eyes, you concentrate

Together that's the way

To send the message

We declare world contact day



Repeat (*) twice



We are your friends

(*) you're always in my heart

From early in the mornin' til it's dark

I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile everyday



When i wake up in the mornin'

And i see you there

I always whisper a little prayer

I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile everyday



(**) i gotta know that you love me

And that you want me

And that you'll always be there

I've gotta know that you care



(***) and i gotta feel your arms around me

And that you need me

And that you'll always be there

I've gotta know that you care



If my times are bringin' me down

You're the only one that i want around

I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile everyday



And if i'm all strung out

You're the only one who can straighten me out

I gotta see your sweet, sweet smile every day



Repeat (**)

Repeat (***)

Repeat (*)

Dreamin', i must be dreamin'

Or am i really lyin' here with you



Baby, you take me in your arms

And though i'm wide awake

I know my dream is comin' true



(*) and, oh, i just fall in love again

Just one touch and then it happens every time

And there i go i just fall in love again, and when i do

Can't help myself, i fall in love with you



Magic, it must be magic

The way i hold you and the night just seems to fly

Easy, for you to take me to a star

Heaven is that moment when i look into your eyes



Repeat twice (*)



Can't help myself, i fall in love with you

Let us put man and woman together

And see wich one is smarter

Some say man, but i say no

The women got the man like a puppet show



It ain't me, it's the people that say

The men are leadin' the women astray

But i say, that the women today

Are smarter than men in every way

Well, that's right, the women are smarter

That's right, the women are smarter



Little boy sat down and cried

An old man passin' asked him why, he said

I can't do what the big boys do

Old man sat down and he cried too

Ain't me, it's the people that say

The men are leadin' the women astray

But i say, that the women today

Are smarter than men in every way



That's right, the women are smarter

That's right, the women are smarter



That's right, the women are smarter

That's right, the women are smarter



Well that's right, the women are smarter

Smarter than man in every way
