Lyrics & music: john oates

My baby went to africa
With the dirty lens photographer
My baby stayin' in jungle land
With a u s body and a real light tan
My baby went to africa
With a make-up man and his love-sick lover
She get a couple o' grand and a two-piece suit
Let the folks back home see the native beauty
My baby went to africa
Gotta pack my bags and get to her
Before the lions and tigers try to jump on her bones

Lyrics & music: daryl hall

Baby, if we can't solve any problems
Why do we lose so many tears?
Oh, so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same theme
But can't you see we've got everything going on and

Everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you

Go on and go free
Maybe you're too close to me
I can feel your body move
But does it mean that much to me
I can't go on singing the same theme
"cause you can't see we've got everything
Baby, even though you know that

Everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
You just don't care

Lyrics: daryl hall, john oates

Got a good education now
And i'm ready for the world (yeah)
We've been going together
It's gonna last forever, it ain't never gonna change
I'm a real hard charger (yeah)
Everybody's gonna listen to me
We're a winning combination, that nobody's gonna rearrange

Big kids breakin' up 'cause they're lookin' for fun
Everybody's leavin', boy-girl on the run
My situation's static, there's no reason to fear
It's too calm around me and it can't happen here

Big kids - think they know it all
Big kids - think they've got the world up against the wall
All the grown-ups show me that they're only big kids in disguise
Who do you think your leaders are? big kids
Who do you think your heros are? big kids
I may never reach maturity but, baby, i'm gonna try

Lyrics: daryl hall, john oates

Make an amendment to the constitution
To preserve the state of our union
I stop believing what you say to me
There's a tragic gap in credibility

When the light is gone from your eyes
And re-entry may be denied
Do i want to expatriate
Or live in the united state

Inflationary insecurity
'cause a love ain't worth as much as it used to be
Clean break, running away
Should i work it out some way
Watch the tress in the wind when it's starting to blow
Is the reason to leave, is it treason to go
Just appeasing you is the wrong thing, i know
Break away!

Don't want to face it but i know that it's time to go home
I cannot say what i want to say when we're alone
I've got to leave but i want to stay
Where you are is so far from the u.s. of a.
When we're more than half a world away
It's so hard to be in love with you
Operator, international 011, oh
Put your love on the line, put your ear to the phone
Maybe it's no longer than a night and a day
But where you are is so far from the u.s. of a.
And it ain't so easy, easy on the heart
It's so hard to be in love with you

you've lost that lovin' feeling
Hall & oates


You never close your eyes anymore when i kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your finger tips
You're trying hard not to show it (baby)
But baby, baby i know it
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone gone gone oh oh oh

There's no welcome look in your eyes when i reach for you
And girl you're starting to criticize little things i do
Ooh, it makes me just feel like crying (baby)
'cause baby something beautiful's dying
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Not it's gone gone gone oh oh oh

Baby baby i get down on my knees for you
(get down on my knees)
If you would only love me like you used to
(if you would only love me love me)
We had a love, a love that you don't find everyday
(a love you don't find)
So don't don't don't let it slip away (away)
I said baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
(i'm beggin you please) i'm begging you please
I need your love (i need your love)
I need your love
So bring it on back (bring it on back)
Now bring it on back
Now bring it on back

You've got to bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone
And i can't go on oh oh oh

Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling 'cause it's gone gone gone

Lyrics: daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Music: daryl hall

What i want, you've got
And it might be hard to handle
But like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame
What i've got's full stock of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how, i can't explain
But you make my dreams come true
On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with the dreamer
I can laugh it in the face
Twist and shout my way out
And wrape yourself around me
'cause i ain't the way that you found me
I'll never be the same
'cause you may my dreams come true
I'm down on the daydream
That sleepwalk should be over by now
I know that you make my dreams come true"
