Foot Loose & Fancy Free

(r. stewart / g. grainger)

Here you stand with tears in your eyes
Crying into my arms
Pleading with me to take you back
Teasing me with your charms

But you got a nerve to come round here
After all you've said and done
I thought i had seen everything
Obviously i was wrong

'cause where were you when the sun went down
Skies turned dark and gray
Where were you when the north winds blew
Honey tell me where were you

I heard you were living down in brazil
With them high class friends of mine
I can't believe i was so naive
Did i never once cross your mind

You told them all i was down and out
My existence you even denied
Oh what pleasure it gives me now
To know that you're bleeding inside

You were my life, you were my breath
You were every move i ever made
But recently my opinion's changed
The joke's on you i'm afraid

'cause i have a woman so beautiful
For you i could no longer wait
Please go away you may spoil everything
Your love has turned up too late

Go away, go away
Please, please go away
I loved you once
I don't love you now
Please, please go away

(r. stewart / j. cregan / g. grainger)

Ooowe baby don't you count on me
To be here when the sun goes down
Cause all those mean old friends of mine are calling
Calling way down the line
Somebody send me a one way ticket
Got to get away from here
Put me on a jet back to london city
Gotta get a belly full of beer

Smile for the camera, please mind your manner
You've got to keep your image clean
Clench your fist and don't you take a piss
Makes you wanna slash your wrist
Stand up, shut up, sit down, throw up
All i wanna do is sing
Responsibility and fidelity
Never meant a thing to me

I was born loose
Running wild
Keep your hands off child
Can't change me now
I was born loose
Running wild
Keep your hands off me baby
Cause you're too late, too late

Big bombs are crashin'
Never stop clashin'
Wanting every woman in town
Some tried to train me
One tried to maim me
But you can't keep a good man down

Church bells ringin'
All the kids singin'
When we played the last date on the tour
Janis and jimi, can't you hear me
Knockin' on heaven's door

Born loose
Was born loose baby
Slow me down
You can't slow me down

I was born loose
Born loose
Born loose
Wrong side of my mama
Wrong side of my daddy
Wrong side of the tracks

I was born loose baby
I was born loose
Can't change me now
Can't change me now
Cause you're too late now
Too late now
Too late now baby
Too late now
To change me now
Never change me now
Born loose
Born loose

(rod stewart)

I didn't know what day it was
When you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon

Breezing through the clientele
Spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
The attraction was purely physical

I took all those habits of yours
That in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, beardsly prints
I put down to experience

The big bosomed lady with the dutch accent
Who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
But my heart cried out for you

Chorus:

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should i grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

My love for you is immeasurable
My respect for you immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You're beauty and elegance

You're a rhapsody, a comedy
You're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written
But honey what do you see in me

(chorus)

You're an essay in glamour
Please pardon the grammar
But you're every schoolboy's dream
You're celtic, united, but baby i've decided
You're the best team i've ever seen

And there have been many affairs
Many times i've thought to leave
But i bite my lip and turn around
'cause you're the warmest thing i've ever found

(chorus)

(banks / hampton / jackson)

If loving you is wrong i don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
Long as i got you by my side
I don't care what your people say

Your friends tell you there's no future
In loving a married man
If i can't see you when i want to
I'll see you when i can
If loving you is wrong i don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong i don't wanna be right

Am i wrong to fall so deeply in love with you
Knowing i got a wife and two little children
Depending on me too
And am i wrong to hunger
For the gentleness of your touch
Knowing i got somebody else at home
Who needs me just as much

And are you wrong to fall in love
With a married man
And am i wrong trying to hold on
To the best thing i ever had
If loving you is wrong i don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong i don't wanna be right

Are you wrong to give your love
To a married man
And am i wrong trying to hold on
To the best thing i ever had
If loving you is wrong i don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong i don't wanna be right

I don't wanna be right
If it means sleeping alone at night
I don't wanna be right
If it means coming home at night
I don't wanna, i don't wanna
I don't wanna never, never, never be right
