Stoney End

Maybe
Maybe you wouldn't believe it
If only i change
You say i'm acting just like a kid
Well, maybe i'm doing
What i'm doing
'cause i'd done what i did
When i was a kid
Maybe, maybe...
Maybe i'm fooling myself
More than anyone can
Maybe i will find another man
But how can i enjoy his touch
Knowing that i love you so much
Baby. . .baby, oh, baby
I could learn to love your mother
And your mother's sister
And if she visited all the relatives
I swear i'd miss her
And everyday before you go to work
I'd stop and kiss her
Maybe, maybe, maybe
Things would be better
If only a letter would come
Happiness is easier for some
I promise i will try to please you
Can't you see how much i need you, baby...
Baby if you wanna hurt me
Laugh at me but don't desert me, baby...
Baby if you don' t believe me
Laugh at me but please don't leave me

Maybe i'll write you a letter
Maybe i'll give you a call
Maybe i'll drop you a line
When i'm feeling better
Maybe i won't after all
Somewhere a river is flowing
Rolling on into the sea
Somewhere a flower is growing
That don't mean anything to me
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go,
Don't give me the answer
'cause i don't wanna know
Just let my heart go on beating
A little bit longer
I'm so young
I'm so young
Don't pull me up
When you think i'm falling
I've been waiting so long to fall
Don't come to me
When you think you hear me calling
It won't be me in that call
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Don't give me the answer
'cause i don't want to know
Just let my heart go on beating
A little bit longer
I'm so young
I'm so young
I'm so young
I'm so young

Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning
Beats a cup of coffee
For starting off the day
Just a little lovin'
When the world is young
And makes you wake up
Feeling good things
Are coming your way
This old world wouldn't be half as bad
And wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had
Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning
A little extra something
To kinda see them through
Nothing turns the day on
Or really gets it dawning
Like a little bit of lovin'
From some lovin' someone like you
This old world couldn't be half as bad
And wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had
Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning
Just a little lovin'
Early in the day
Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning...

Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
I saw the lives from the streets
As i passed by the other day
I was scared
My knees were weak
I forgot what i had came to say
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil
He's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
Saw a man walk on water
And everybody looking on
I didn't know
I was his daughter
Till both of us
Had come and gone
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil
He's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
If you see me in the alley
Looking like i don't belong
You can put me in your deepest valley
I'll still be singing the same old song
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
I said free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me

Hands off the man
Flim flam man
His mind is up his sleeve
And his talk is make believe
Oh lord, the man's a fraud
He's the flim flam man
He's so cagey
He's a flim flam man
Hands off the man
Flim flam man
He's the one in the trojan horse making
Making out like he's santa claus
Oh lord, the man's a fraud
He's a flim flam man
He's a fox
He's a flim flam man
Everybody wants him
The people and the police
And all the pretty ladies disarmed
Oh, oh, yeah, the beautiful gent
You know he has hardly a cent
He pays his monthly rent......
With the daily charm
Hands off the man
Flim flam man
His mind is up his sleeve
And his talk is make believe
Oh, lord, the man's a fraud
He's a flim flam man
He's an artist
He's a flim flam man
He's so cagey
He's a flim flam men
He's a fox
She's a fool
Flim flam man.
Oh, don't worry
He's dishonest, so don't believe in him
He's a flim flam man...

If you could read my mind, love,
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And i will never be set free
As long as i'm a ghost that you can't see.
If i could read your mind, love,
What a tale your thoughts could tell,
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
When you reach the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take.

I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, let's be real
I never thought i could feel this way
And i've got to say that i just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And i just can't get it back.

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that i'm just tryin' to understand
The feelin's that you lack
I never thought i could feel this way
And i've got to say that i just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelin's gone
And i just can't get it back.
