One more coffee
One more cigarette
One more morning trying to forget.
If i had the chance
To join your dance
I wouldn't like to bet,
Your game is something yet
It's a shame,
Ain't natural for you,
Baby, it's a sin,
You know you just can't win
When you are in.

You used to ride on buses
Take a tube to camden town.
Now you go by aeroplane
Don't let nothing bring you down.
It's a shame,
Ain't natural for you,
Baby, it's a sin,
Don't you know you just can't win
When you are in.

Now the road is dark and lonely,
But you got a pearl light mode.
You're up in park lane now
And i'm somewhere around
In tottenham court road.
It's a shame,
Ain't natural for you,
Baby, it's a sin,
Don't you know you just can't win
When you are in.
No, you just can't win,
No, you just can't win
When you are in.

'twas on a sunday and the autumn leaves were on the ground.
It kicked my heart when i saw you standing there in your dress of blue.
The storm was over, my ship sailed through.
What is this feeling, what can i do?

If you and i could be relieved
To walk and talk and be deceived
I'd give my all and all and more i would do, oh yeah,
If darling only you and i could be as two.

If we could dream and by our dreams
Sew this wicked world up at the seams
I'd give my life and more i would do
If darling only you and i could be as two.

Baby, do you remember
All the good times we had together
Walking through the park
Baby, then, then we could sing,
Gave you all my money,
Everything in the world that i had,
You told me that don't mean a thing.

If still in darkness we could run
Together there in that morning sun
I'd give my all, my life and everything to you, oh yeah,
If darling only you and i could be as two.

Could be as two, could be as two,
Could be as two, baby ...

And friends no longer want you around
When you feel burdened down with care
And troubles seem so hard to bear

A well money's gettin' cheaper
Price is gettin' steeper
I found a little woman
But i just couldn't keep her

Times gettin' tougher than tough
Times gettin' rougher than rough
Well i make alot of money
I just keep spendin' the stuff

Oh well pork chops on the market
Ask the butcher for a pound
I couldn't get no pork chop
When i laid my money down

Times gettin' tougher than tough
Times gettin' rougher than rough
Well i make alot of money
I just keep spendin' the stuff

(instrumental)

Oh well the politicans say
Get the people on their feet
They wanna cut the price
And let the people eat

Times gettin' tougher than tough
The times gettin' rougher than rough
But i make alot of money
Just keep spendin' the stuff

Well i can't afford to live
I guess i'll have to try
Undertakers got a union
And it cost too much to die

Times gettin' tougher than tough
Well times gettin' rougher than rough
Well i make alot of money
Just keep spendin' the stuff

Told ya' darlin'
All along,
I was right and you were wrong.
A-pleasin' you,
So hard to do.
Cried all night long,
Was beatin' through.
Can't sow wild oats
'spect to gather corn.
Can't take right
And make it wrong.
Told ya' darlin',
Long time ago,
You gotta reap
What you sow, and what you sow, yeah,
Is gonna make you weep,
A-some day,
A-some day,
A-some day.
Yeah, what you sow, yeah,
's gonna make you weep.

Tried to keep you
Satisfied;
Broke my heart,
Crushed my pride.
It's all over now,
But all i see
Is a lonely road
And a memory of
Daily walkin'
And talkin'
'bout joanne.
Can't ya' see,
I said, daily walkin'
And talkin'.

Can't sow wild oats
'spect to gather corn.
Can't take right
And make it wrong.
I told ya' darlin',
Long time ago,
You gotta reap
What you sow, and what you sow, yeah,
Gonna make you weep,
A-some day,
A-some day,
Some day.
Yeah, what you sow, yeah,
Gonna make you weep,
A-some days.

You must leave now take what you need
You think will last
But whatever you wish to keep you better grab it fast

Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out baby, the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now baby blue

The highway is for gamblers better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky too is fallin in over you- ooo
And it's all over now baby blue

(instrumental)

Leave your stepping stones behind
There's something that calls for you
Forget the debt you left that will not follow you

Your lover who has just walked through the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet too is foldin' over you
And it's all over now baby blue

Well strike another match, yeah, go start a-new
Go start a-new
'cause it's all over now baby blue
Hey, hey, yeah
It's all over, it's all over now baby blue
It's all over, it's all over now oh yeah
Fades
It's all over now, it's all over now baby blue

I've been up and and down the highway
And i've seen what a man can do
To some little girl along the byway
That's why i sing this song to you

If you find your baby's gone
And you don't know where or when
You wonder, yes you wonder
If you'll ever see him again
Just remember, remember
These simple words i brought

Soon it won't hurt half as much
No it won't hurt half as much
No it won't hurt half as much as you thought

'cause i been up and down the highway
And i watch them as they pass by
Broken hearts and i wish that they'd go my way
I'd save them every little teardrop they cry

Won't you listen?
If you think you can't go on
And life ain't got it for you no more
You're waitin' every night
For him to come walkin' through that door

Just remember, remember
These simple words that i brought
Soon it won't hurt half as much
No it won't hurt half as much
No it won't hurt half as much as you thought

Well, it won't hurt half as much
No, it won't hurt half as much
Lord, it won't hurt half as much as you though
Fades
And everytime you're sad, you cry
You feel like you...

How long, how long baby,
Can this love of ours go on?
How long, how long baby,
'cause i know, i know you've been doin' me wrong

You've been seen all over town
Playin' the field puttin' me down
How long can this go on?

How long, how long baby
Must you treat me like a fool?
How long, how long baby,
Don't you know, you're breakin' the rules?

Do you think it's only a game?
The way that you're actin',
You'll drive me insane,
How long can this go on?

(instrumental)

I wanna know, how long, how long baby,
Must you tear my soul apart?
How long, how long baby,
When you break, when you break my heart

Oh won't you, change your ways,
Come on back, let me hear you say
That we will start anew

I need you so, i need you so
I need you so, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
