1. _ One World
One world
Whoa, it's our world
Yeah, yeah, one world
Whoa, it's our world
Yeah, yeah
When i walk on the street i feel glad i was born
Music comes a'ringin' out of every door
I see faces i know and they give me a sign
We got something between us and it feels all right
I see chrissy the clipper, she colors my hair
Micky and margaret make the clothes that we wear
And there's gene who runs the club where we dance all night
When you live in our world everything's all right
Politicians and dictators and the guys with the dough
They think they run the world but they just don't know
'cause down here on the street we got it under control
From berlin to san francisco, from new york to tokyo

2. _ Can We Still Be Friends
We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends
We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know it, all gone
Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends
It's a strange, sad affair
Sometimes seems like we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together
Can we still get together sometime
You know life will still go on and on and on
We awoke from our dream
Things are not always what they seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet, sad old song

3. _ Hello It's Me
Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe i think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe i shouldn't think of you as mine
Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as i do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes i can't help seeing all the way through
It's important to me that you know you are free
'cause i never want to make you change for me
Think of me
You know that i'd be with you if i could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if i ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think i should

4. _ Real Man
When i was a child
I thought as a child
I spoke as a child
I didn't know better
But now i'm a man
I look like a man
I'm old as a man
And i should know better
Got my head in the sky
And my mind knows what it wants
But my body just drags me down
And my world is something you can't see
But it's still very real to me
You can find it in the hole where i keep my soul
There it is - way down inside me
There's a real man
Forget about my body and be a real man
I see with my heart
I hear with my heart
I feel with my heart
Sometimes it works better
And some so-called friends put me down
And they pity me for trying
Bad emotions push me around
But the vision shines on and on
It will shine when we all are gone
And i'd like to add a little sparkle while i'm here
Light it up - way down inside me
There's a real man
Forget about bad feelings and be a real man
Some men's world is only hate and money
Afraid of everything and they laugh at nothing
And they only live to criticize
You can laugh at me now [ha ha ha]
But the time comes to everybody
When you must decide
When that day finally comes along
You might wish you'd been a little more strong
Then you'll wake up in the morning cryin'
"oh my god"
There it is - way down inside me
It's a real man
You got to grow up sometime
Be a real man
Suffer them slings and arrows
Be a real man
Now be a real man
Don't sell yourself for nothing
Be a real man
Don't take no crap from no one
Be a real man
Get your trip together
Be a real man

5. _ Be Nice To Me
No catch, no strings
None of the usual things
I'm happy just to lay and look
Let's throw out the book
Now we're off the hook
And please just be nice to me
Won't you be nice to me
So tired, so sad
So sick of being had
By everyone who comes along
Would it be so wrong
If you played along
And please just be nice to me
And would it bring you down if i hang around
Just be nice to me
It's been a long, long time since i felt so fine
And i know your love is fine
I know what's on your mind but
Don't laugh, don't cry
Don't make me wonder why
You're doing what you're doing now
Can't you see somehow
It's the wrong time now
So please just be nice to me
You know i ain't in heat
And it would feel real neat
If you would just be nice to me
Come on think of me

6. _ Good Vibrations
I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air
I'm picking up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
Good bop bop, good vibrations
Bop bop, excitations
Good, good, good, good vibrations
Close my eyes, she is somehow closer now
Softly smile, i know she must be kind
When i look in her eyes
She comes with me to a blossom world
I don't know where but she sends me there
Oh my my my, what a sensation
Oh my my, what elation
Got to keep those loving good vibrations
Happening with her

7. _ I Saw The Light
It was late last night
I was feeling something wasn't right
There was not another soul in sight
Only you, only you
So we walked along,
Though i knew there was something wrong
And the feeling hot me oh so strong about you
Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see
'cause i saw the light in your eyes
Though we had our fling
I just never would suspect a thing
'til that little bell began to ring in my head
In my head
But i tried to run,
Though i knew it wouldn't help me none
'cause i couldn't ever love no one, or so i said
But my feelings for you
Were just something i never knew
'til i saw the light in your eyes
But i love you best
It's not something that i say in jest (ha ha)
'cause you're different, girl, from all the rest
In my eyes
And i ran out before but i won't do it anymore
Can't you see the light in my eyes

8. _ Bang The Drum All Day
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
Ever since i was a tiny boy
I don't want no candy
I don't need no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing 'til i got
Blisters on my hand because
When i get older they think i'm a fool
The teacher told me i should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks was so hot
I made the teacher wanna dance
And that's why
Listen to this
Every day when i get home from work
I feel so frustrated
The boss is a jerk
And i get my sticks and go out to the shed
And i pound on that drum like it was the boss's head
Because
I can bang that drum
Hey, you wanna take a bang at it?
I can do this all day

9. _ We Gotta Get You A Woman
Leroy, boy, is that you?
I thought your post-hangin' days were through,
Sunk-in eyes and full of sighs,
Tell no lies, you get wise,
I tell you now we're gonna pull you through,
There's only one thing left that we can do.
We gotta get you a woman,
It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive.
We gotta get you a woman,
We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now.
Leroy, boy, you're my friend
You say how and i'll say when
Come and meet me down the street
Take a seat, it's my treat
You may not ever get this chance again
That empty feeling's just about to end.
Talkin' 'bout life and what it means to you,
It don't mean nothin' if it don't run through
I got one thing to say, you know it's true
You got to find some time to get this thing together.
Talkin' 'bout things about that special one
They may be stupid but they sure are fun
I'll give it to you while we're on the run
Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause we
Got to get together with a woman who has been around,
One who knows better than to let you down,
Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town,
And that she'll take some time to get this thing together.
We gotta get you a woman
And when we're through with you,
We'll get me one too.

10. _ A Dream Goes On Forever
A million old soldiers will fade away
But a dream goes on forever
I'm left standing here, i've got nothing to say
All is silent within my dream
A thousand true loves will live and die
But a dream lives on forever
The days and the years will go streaking by
But the time has stopped in my dream
We all have our everyday hopes and fears
And you'll find no exception in me
But that doesn't get me through a sea of tears
Over life's biggest tragedy
You're so long ago and so far away
But my dream lives on forever
I guess i believe that i'll see you one day
For without it there is no dream
You're so far away and so long ago
But my dream goes on forever
And how much i loved you you'll never know
'til you join me within my dream
