Coming Out

Every day i walk some lonely street
Searchin' 'til you come back to me
People around just stop and stare
As if they know the hurt i bear
And suddenly i realize

I'm in a helpless situation
And i need some consolation
'cause my mind is in a confusion
And i'm having these strange illusions
Since you've been gone i've been cryin' cryin' cryin' cryin'

Without a word without a warning
You left my life on early morning
Did i lean on you a little too strong
Too much of you i depended on
All at once i'm alone

I'm in a helpless situation
And i need some consolation
'cause my mind is in a confusion
And i'm having these strange illusions
Since you've been gone i've been cryin' cryin' cryin' cryin'

In the shelter of your love my strength i found
But now i'm useless, darlin', since you're not around
I'm helpless baby

Sax solo
Background voices "need some consolation, i need it, need it"

Baby baby i'm helpless since i lost your love
Helpless 'cause now i need your love
I need your words of confidence (need it, need it)
I need those happy times we spent
Since you've been gone

I'm in a helpless situation
And i need some consolation
'cause my mind is in a confusion
And i'm having these strange illusions
All at once it hit me, i'm alone i'm alone

Oh helpless
Since i lost your love
Helpless
'cause now i need your love
I never needed no one before
But now i need you more and more
I'm helpless 'til you come back to me
Helpless....(to fade)

Ah, zindy lou

Zindy lou was a woman who came from the hills
And ooh i taught her - she could really thrill zindy lou,

She had two great big beautiful eyes

And when she walked by i almost flipped
Zindy lou
A lou lou lou, ooh zindy lou
A lou lou lou, ooh zindy lou
A lou lou lou, ooh zindy lou

When she walked by with a fine fine frame
Each and every man could call her by name
Zindy lou
A lou lou lou, ooh zindy lou
A lou lou lou, ooh zindy lou
A lou lou lou, ooh zindy lou

A coca-wica-no, a coca-wica-shae

And when god gave out rhythm
He sure was good to you
You could add, subtract, multiply and divide by two
I know today's your birthday
And i did not buy no rose
But i'll sing this song instead
'an i call it popsicle toes

Popsicle toes
Popsicle toes are always froze
Popsicle toes
Oh you're so brave to expose all those popsicle toes

You must've been miss pennsylvania
With your bedroom attitude
How come you always load your pentax when i'm in the nude
We ought to have a birthday party
And you can wear your birthday clothes
We can hit the floor and go explore
Those popsicle toes

Popsicle toes (ooh)
Popsicle toes are always froze (ooo ooh)
Popsicle toes (wah ooh)
Oh you're so brave to expose all those popsicle toes (ooh)

Don't 'cha know you got the nicest north america
This sailor ever saw
I'd like to feel your warm brazil, touch your panama
Well your tierra del fuegos are nearly always froze
We got to see-saw until we unthaw
Those popsicle toes

Popsicle toes (wah ooh)
Popsicle toes are always froze (wah ooh)
Popsicle toes (ooh)
Oh you're so brave to expose all those popsicle toes
Popsicle toes (wah ooh)
Popsicle toes are always froze (wah ooh)
Popsicle toes (ooh)
Oh you're so brave to expose all those popsicle toes (fade)

Scotch and soda
Mud in your eye
Baby do i feel high
Oh me, oh my do i feel high (so high)

Dry martini, jigger of gin
Oh what a spell you've got me in
Oh my, do i feel high

People don't believe me
They think that i'm just braggin'
But i could feel the way i feel
And still be on the wagon

All i need is one of your smiles
Sunshine of your eyes
Oh me, oh my do i feel higher than a kite can fly
Give me lovin', cause i feel so high

People don't believe me
They think that i'm just braggin'
But i could feel the way i feel
And still be on the wagon (on the wagon)

All i need is one of your smiles (all i need is your smile)
Sunshine of your eyes
Oh me, oh my do i feel higher than a kite can fly
Give me lovin' (lovin')
'cause i feel so high

The thought of loving you
The way i'm longing to
A thousand hopeful dreams i have
Are finally coming true
I used to put you on a pedestal
Where you became untouchable
But now we touch and now so much is possible

Just being near to you (so near to you)
Would be enough for me (for me)
The many years without your love have been so tough on me
But now a change has taken place in me
I found someone whose faith in me
Has given me the strength i need so desperately

Oh in my darkness you turn on the light
My illusions vanish overnight
The thought of loving you is now reality
The thousand dreams i have i'll know in the end how it could be
For as we melt in love so beautiful
I never felt so wonderful
The thought of loving you the way i'm loving you right now

(background voices)
In the darkness you turn on the light
My illusions vanish overnight
In the darkness...
(repeat to fade)

Do you remember the last time i said
If i ever thought of lying i'd rather be dying instead

And maybe you'll remember
The last time you called me to say we were through
How it took a million tears just to prove they all were for you
But those days are through

'cause it wouldn't have made any difference
If you loved me
How could you love me
When it wouldn't really make any difference
If you really loved me
You just didn't love me

'cause i know of hundreds of times i could be
In the most unfaithful arms that you always picture me
Well maybe you'll remember
That though i can't always show proof i was true
No one else could change my mind or stop me coming home to you
But those days are through

'cause it wouldn't have made any difference
If you loved me
How could you love me
When it wouldn't really make any difference
If you really loved me
You just didn't love me

Enough to believe me
Enough not to leave me
Ooh, enough not to look for reason to be unhappy with me
And make me regret ever wanting you

'cause it wouldn't have made any difference
If you loved me
How could you love me
When it wouldn't really make any difference
If you really loved me
You just didn't love me
