Well just got back
Been gone too long
Wasn't my idea, didn't pull the trigger
Oh oh oh i i i i'm just so glad
I'm just so glad to be back home, yeah

I just got back
Been a long long time
Wasn't my idea, didn't point the finger
Oh oh oh i i i i'm just so glad
I'm just so glad to go home

You run the risk of falling
With some solitary sam
I've sailed the seven sins a poly-future plan

A. paul calypso
Isn't really what it seems
This ain't committee art
My god, is it a dream?

I just got back
I been asleep too long
Wasn't my idea what the doctor figured
Oh oh oh i i i i'm just so glad
I'm just so glad, i'm just so glad, i'm just so glad
To be back home
No no no no no no no no
I'm just so glad
No no no no no no no no
I'm just so glad

Words and music by robin zander and rick nielsen

Well i can't stop the music
I could stop it before
Now i don't want to hear it
Don't wanna hear it no more
No more

I can't stop the music
I could stop it before
Now i don't wanna hear it
Don't wanna hear it no more

All i wanna do is stop this game
It's gonna really end
Stop this game
It's such a touchy, touchy thing

Hey, livin' with you
Is all i wanted before
I've changed, you didn't
Don't wanna see you no more

All i wanna do is stop this game
It's gonna really end
Oh, stop this game
It's such a touchy, touchy thing

Well we were walkin' before we could crawl
And you were lovin' just emotion just all
It's just emotion wasn't music at all
Now i can't stop the music
Now i don't wanna hear it no more
No more, no more, no more

Stop this game
It's gonna really end
Stop this game
It's such a touchy, touchy thing

I can't stop the music (stop this game)
I could stop it before (it's gonna really end)
Now i don't wanna hear it (stop this game)
Don't wanna hear it no more (it's such a touchy, touchy thing)

(repeat to coda)

Tell you a story not a little white lie
Wasn't long tall sally it was no surprise
That's right - tell me that's right
A tough act to follow not too good in your shoes
A whole lotta shakin' was terrible news
That night - tell me that's right
The band was singin' and playin' a tune
Love comes a-tumblin' down, oh yeah yeah

All shook up and bent out of shape
Wasn't johnny b. goode but it sounded great
That night - tell me that's right
From the cabaret to the highway of hell
Had a monkey on his back it was easy to tell
That night - tell me that's right
The band was singin' and playin' a tune
Love comes a-tumblin' down oh yeah yeah

The band was singin' and playin' a tune
Love comes a-tumblin' down oh yeah!

(v.o.) i'm wishing to live longer aided by the supreme healing force of music
It most definitely overcomes all weakening aspects of the body
I've felt quite lost and distraught without those wonderful vinyl productions
I'm convinced it's an addiction, too. i feel just great again
[band, get ready]

When you see the train come
Then you'll know what to do
A tough act to follow not too good in your shoes
That's right - tell me that's right
[love came] a-stumblin' and a-tumblin' down
Not a pretty picture when the body was found
That night - tell me that's right

The band was singin' and playin' a tune
(love comes a-tumblin')
Tough act to follow not too good in your shoes
(love comes a-tumblin')
You see the train come you know what to do
(love comes a-tumblin')
Johnny b. goode it sounded just great
(love comes a-tumblin')
Long tall sally it was no surprise
(love comes a-tumblin')
A whole lotta shakin' was terrible news
(love comes a-tumblin')
Not a pretty picture when the body was found
(love comes a tumblin')
Mama mama mama mama

It's been a long time, baby
It's been a long time comin'
I don't like it
It's been on my mind, baby
It's not the same anymore
Let's face it, we've changed, yeah yeah

Don't stand there laughin'
'cause i'm here cryin'
Don't have no pity, baby
'cause my sun's never shinin'

And don't think i ever think about you with another man
And don't think i care about you, honey
You just don't understand
That's why i say

Can't stop it but i'm gonna try
Can't stop it but i'm gonna try
Can't stop it but i'm gonna try
Can't stop it but i'm gonna try
Can't stop lovin' you baby
Can't stop it but i'm gonna try

It's been a long time, baby
It's been a long time comin'
I don't like it
It's been on my mind, baby
It's not the same anymore
Let's face it, we've changed, yeah yeah

Here comes that feelin'
That feelin' never stops
From the first time that i met you
Till the last time that we talked

And some days i don't think i'll make it through
I'd feel better if you felt it too
But don't have no pity, pity baby
You just don't understand
That's why i say

Can't stop it but i'm gonna try
Can't stop it but i'm gonna try
Can't stop it but i'm gonna try
Can't stop it but i'm gonna try
Can't stop lovin' you baby
Can't stop it but i'm gonna try

It's been a long time, baby
It's been a long time, baby

Let's face it, we've changed, yeah yeah

It's been a long time, baby
High priest of rhytmic noise
Living inside of me
I been goin' round in ciricles
And i've considered first degree
Just a singer in a mind choir
Lives on harmony
If the song don't change the choir won't sin
Won't sing the same song forever
It's such a pity
What's a poor boy to do
It's such a pity
What's a poor boy to do
You look strange, that's what i like
You look strange like me
Fit to be tied, a little bedtime story
Next position please
Just a singer in a mind choir
Lives on harmony
If the song don't change the choir won't sing
Won't sing the same song forever
It's such a pity
What's a poor boy to do
It's such a pity
What's a poor boy to do
It's such a pity
What's a poor boy to do
When the high priest of rhythmic noise
Is inside of you
Don't give up, get out, get down
(forever is a long long time)
Don't stand up, shut up, sit down
(you're strange, that's what i like)
Don't make a move till you hear that sound
(i'm just a singer in a mind choir)
Don't give up, get out, get down
(high priest of rhytmic noise)
It's such a pity
What's a poor boy to do
It's such a pity
What's a poor boy to do
It's such a pity
What's a poor boy to do
When the high priest of rhythmic noise
Is inside of you
Forever is a long long time
If you can...
I'm a ...little tiny plastic pills
From my little plastic pills
It's such a pity
What's a poor boy to do
It's such a pity
What's a poor boy to do
It's such a pity
What's a poor boy to do
When the high priest of rhythmic noise
Is inside of you
Don't give up, get out, get down
(forever is a long long time)
Don't stand up, shut up, sit down
(you're strange, that's what i like)
Don't make a move till you hear that sound
(i'm just a singer in a mind choir)
Don't give up, get out, get down
(high priest of rhytmic noise)
Don't give up, get out, get down
(forever is a long long time)
Don't stand up, shut up, sit down
(you're strange, that's what i like)
Don't make a move till you hear that sound
(i'm just a singer in a mind choir)
Don't give up, get out, get down
(high priest of rhytmic noise)
