Changes (1970)

Oh my my, I could love you forever
Oh my my, I only wish that I could
Oh my my, I could love you forever
Oh my my, girl, you feel so good

You, you make my heart sing
You make my life worthwhile
Life is such there’s so much to discover
To uncover it is gonna take a while

Oh my my, I could love you forever
Oh my my, I only wish that I could
Oh my my, I could love you forever
Oh my my, girl, you feel so good

I think of us together
It takes my breath away
Up to the sky I go flying
“Oh my my” is all I can say, hey hey

Oh my my
Oh my my, my my
Oh my m-my m-my my
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my my-my-my-my-my

You, you make my heart sing
You make my life worthwhile
Life is such there’s so much to discover
To uncover it, it’s gonna take a while

Oh my my, I could love you forever
Oh my my, I only wish that I could
Oh my my, I could love you forever

Oh my my, I could love you forever
Oh my my, I only wish that I could
Oh my my, I could love you forever
Oh, girl, you feel so good

Oh my my, I could love you forever…

I’ve got a ticket on a ferry ride
I’ve got a ticket, and it hurts inside
I wonder if she knows
That I don’t really want to go, oh no
I still love her so

I’ve got a ticket on a ferry ride
I’ve got a ticket, and it hurts inside
I never thought the day
Would come when I would say goodbye, this way
Wanted so to stay

I’ve got a ticket on a ferry ride
(Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
I still love her so
(Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
Don’t really wanna go

(I’ve got a ticket on a ferry ride)
I’ve got a ticket on a ferry ride
(I’ve got a ticket on a ferry ride)
I’ve got a ticket and it hurts inside
I wonder if she knows
That I don’t really have to go, oh no
I still love her so

(I’ve got a ticket on a ferry ride)
I’ve got a ticket and it hurts inside
I’ve got a ticket on a ferry ride
I’ve got a ticket and it hurts inside
I’ve got a ticket on a ferry ride
Ah

You’re so good to me
I’m hooked on the things you do
You’re so good to me

Tell me what can I do for you?…

I held you tight
And it felt like it
Took a breath
Made me weak, like it
Kissed your lips
And I know that it tasted just like it felt
I’ve never seen all this happen to me

But it feels like love
Makes me weak, like love
And it tastes just like it’s got to be love
Oh, it’s in the air
I feel it everywhere
I’m so happy ’cause I know it’s got to be love
No two ways about it, it’s got to be love

I look at you
And it looks like it
And you talk
Oh, it sounds like it
Deep inside, all my thoughts and my heart say it’s so
Still I’ve got to be sure
’Cause I’ve been fooled before

But it looks like love
And it sounds like love
And my heart tells me it’s got to be love
Oh, it’s in the air
I feel it everywhere
I’m so happy ’cause I know it’s got to be love
No two ways about it, it’s got to be love
No two ways about it, it’s got to be love
Oh, oh, oh, no two ways about it, it’s got to be love

Acapulco sun
Leaving work undone
Dream about the nighttime ’til she comes (Ohh, la-la-la-la-la)

She’ll take my hand and walk with me
Down along the sea
Hear the pretty song she sings for free (Ohh, la-la-la-la-la, ohh, la-la-la-la-la)

She sings me songs of love so sweet (Oh so sweet, oh so sweet)
And the words she’s saying are so simple and complete (I love you, truly do)

Acapulco sun
Tells me she’s the one
Dream about the sunset ’til she comes (Ohh, la-la-la-la-la)

She’ll take my hand and walk with me
Down along the sea
Hear the pretty song she sings for free (Ohh, la-la-la-la-la, ohh, la-la-la-la-la)

She sings me songs of love so sweet (Oh so sweet, oh so sweet)
And the words she’s saying are so simple and complete (I love you, truly do)

“Wow!”

I tell you she’s a heartbreaker, and you can’t tell me she ain’t (Hey, hey)
There’s a little devil living under all that powder and paint (Hey, hey)
And she can hang you up every night
And get you so uptight
She’s the ninety-nine pounds (Ninety-nine pounds)
I say ninety-nine pounds (Ninety-nine pounds)
She’s the ninety-nine pounds and some kinda dynamite

I tell you half a tin of sugar ain’t half as sweet as her (Hey, hey)
She can change it, rearrange it, ’til you don’t remember what you were (Hey, hey)
And it don’t even pay to fight
’Cause she don’t know wrong from right
She’s the ninety-nine pounds (Ninety-nine pounds)
I said ninety-nine pounds (Ninety-nine pounds)
She’s the ninety-nine pounds and some kinda dynamite
Wow!

[break]

And while she may look like an angel, but she’s made outta T.N.T. (Hey, hey)
She’s a little bitty baby of explosivity (Hey, hey)
Yeah, but when she hold ya tight
She’s some kind of outta sight
She’s the ninety-nine pounds (Ninety-nine pounds)
I say ninety-nine pounds (Ninety-nine pounds)
I say ninety-nine pounds and some kinda dynamite

I say ninety-nine pounds (Ninety-nine pounds)
I say ninety-nine pounds (Ninety-nine pounds)
Sixty-two inches (Sixty-two inches)
I say ninety-nine pounds (Ninety-nine pounds)

Whoa, tell me love
And tell me truly
Do you believe
This is forever?

Well, I’ll tell you love (Oh, oh-oh oh)
That I believe you (Oh, oh-oh oh)
Whoa, when you tell me (Oh, oh-oh oh)

So you don’t get away

Oh, tell me love (Tell me love)

And tell me love (Tell me love)
Are my lips to your taste?
’Cause I want to please you
I want to please you

So tell me love (Tell me love)
Please tell me love (Oh, oh-oh oh)
Tell me love

I’m like a toy balloon
And someone cruel has cut the string
I’m drifting out of sight
My head’s too light to find a thing

Oh, baby, life is like a cartoon movie
Bein’ with you makes it groovy
Everything you do is new to me

And do you feel it too?
Do you find an added joy in every little thing you do?
Whoa, do you feel it too?
Do you find the only thing that matters now is me and you?

I can’t believe my ears
You know I hear such crazy sounds
Each time I talk to you and walk with you
I’m off the ground

Oh, baby, love is great, you just can’t top it
Drop the ball, we mustn’t drop it
Girl, there ain’t a thing can stop it now

And do you feel it too?
Do you find an added joy in every little thing you do?
Whoa, do you feel it too?
Do you find the only thing that matters now is me and you?
Tell me, baby

[break]

Whoa, baby, life is like a cartoon movie
Bein’ with you makes it groovy
Everything you do is new to me

And do you feel it too?
Do you find an added joy in every little thing you do?
Whoa, do you feel it too?
Do you find the only thing that matters now is me and you?
Tell me, darlin’

Hey, do you feel it too?
Do you find an added joy in every little thing you do?
Whoa, do you feel it too?
Do you find the only thing that matters now is me and you?
Tell me, baby…

I once went with a belly dancer (Lum do dee ally day)
Once around, I didn’t stand a chance, ah (Lum do dee ally day)

But I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better

Then I went with a gospel singer (Lum do dee ally day)
She tried to wrap me around her finger now (Lum do dee ally day)

But I said I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better

Ha, ha, ha (Lum do dee ally day)
Ha, ha, ha (Lum do dee ally day)

I once went with a history teacher (Lum do dee ally day)
I really tried, but I couldn’t reach her (Lum do dee ally day)

Whoa, I, I, I love you better

[break]

Well, let me tell you now, I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better

Ha, ha, ha (Lum do dee ally day)
Whoa, ha, ha, ha (Lum do dee ally day)

There were some that I can’t remember (Lum do dee ally day)
I think I went with Miss November (Lum do dee ally day)
But I say I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better…

I can see you when the moon is shining bright
I can feel you when the moon is out of sight
Whisper softly, well, it sounds so nice
All alone in the dark
All alone in the dark

I can hear the words you whisper when you’re near
I can feel it tickle softly in my ear
Kiss me slowly while there’s no one here
All alone in the dark
All alone in the dark

You know this darkness makes me see
That you’re the only one for me
You know this darkness makes me see
And this time’s the only time
We can make our feelings rhyme
With all the things we could not say, wa-hey!

[break]

I can see you when the moon is shining bright
I can feel you when the moon is out of sight

All alone in the dark

Now, listen just a minute while I sing this song
Don’tcha worry, baby, it won’t take long
Just about ready to draw the line
So don’t be surprised when I leave this time

Well, I’m goin’ north, and I’m goin’ south
I don’t want no more of your lyin’ mouth
I’m hittin’ the road, gonna ring some bells
Better know I can do it well

Midnight train, ramblin’, ramblin’
All night long, I’m a-gamblin’, gamblin’
Losin’ all the money when it really isn’t funny, hun, ba-da-dum
Midnight train, ramblin’, ramblin’
All night long, I’m a-gamblin’, gamblin’
Tell you what, baby, well, you better be movin’ on

Well, I really don’t know where I’m goin’ for sure
I don’t got a map, and it ain’t no tour
Just headin’ out to the open skies
Who knows? Might even die

Well, don’t you worry your pretty little head
’Cause you never gave a dang what I did or said
That’s why I’m packin’ to leave this place
Can’t stand to look at your cheatin’ face

Midnight train, ramblin’, ramblin’
All night long, I’m a-gamblin’, gamblin’
Losin’ all the money when it really isn’t funny, hun, ba-da-dum
Midnight train, ramblin’, ramblin’
All night long, I’m a-gamblin’, gamblin’
Tell you what, baby, well, you better be movin’ on

Well, you treated me like a little boy
And you played around like I was a toy
Guess you thought I’d have the blues
Look who’s cryin’, guess you lose

Midnight train, ramblin’, ramblin’
All night long, I’m a-gamblin’, gamblin’
Losin’ all the money when it really isn’t funny, hun, ba-da-dum
Midnight train, ramblin’, ramblin’
All night long, I’m a-gamblin’, gamblin’
Tell you what, baby, well, you better be movin’ on

Midnight train, ramblin’, ramblin’

Losin’ all the money when it really isn’t funny, hun, ba-da-dum
Midnight train, ramblin’, ramblin’
All night long, I’m a-gamblin’, gamblin’
Tell you what, baby, well, you better be movin’ on
He said, I’ve got time, better be movin’ on
Get out of here, better be movin’ on
Well, that’s all she wrote, you better be movin’ on

I never thought it peculiar
That you never gave me a smile
I wasn’t socially suited
To make it worth your while

Oh no, and I never thought it peculiar
That my heart always beat like a drum
Each time I would see you walk by me
You were as pretty as they come

So I sent some flowers to your doorstep
And wrote on the card, “I love you”
I don’t know why
But I do know that I
Had a feeling that you liked me too

So I never thought it peculiar
When you stopped to ask me the time
And I don’t think it’s terribly peculiar
That now, little girl, you are mine

Time and time again
Naughty girls get me in trouble
When I fly too high
Something’s bound to burst the bubble

You say this is love
Wonder if you’re feeling lonely
Tell me if you please
Is this for this evening only?

Or will it be for a long, long time
Or just a passing fancy?
Will it be for a long, long time
I feel as though it can be

I’ll just wait and see
What tomorrow has to bring me
A love that is oh so true
Or another girl that’s free and easy

Time and time again
And again, and again, and again
And again, and again, and again
And again, and again, and again

You could make it all so easy (Ohh)
Girl, you know just how to please me (Ohh)
Don’t you do it if you think you got to (Ohh)
Don’t you do it ’cause you think you ought to (Ohh)
Whoa

Do it in the name of love
If you really want me, that’s reason enough
Do it in the name of love
Do it in the name of love

Baby, ain’t it good together? (Ohh)
I swear it feels just like forever (Ohh)
Don’t be scared, don’t you worry, no (Ohh)
It’s alright, there’s no hurry, mm (Ohh)
Oh no

Do it in the name of love
If you really want me, that’s reason enough
Do it in the name of love
Do it in the name of love

[break]

Come on and do it in the name of love
If you really want me, that’s reason enough

Do it in the name of love

She’s my lady
She’s my girl
She’s my woman
She is my world

She’s what I want
She’s what I need
She’s what I got, lord
She’s just my speed

She’s my daytime
She’s my night
All through the darkness
She is my light

Ooh, she is a dream, she is
And everything real
She is my heartbeat
She’s how I feel

She’s a song
Without an end
She’s my lover
And my best friend

Ooh, deep in the night, alright, alright
I whisper her name
I say lady, lady, lady
Lady Jane
