Lyrics & music: daryl hall

Baby, if we can't solve any problems
Why do we lose so many tears?
Oh, so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same theme
But can't you see we've got everything going on and

Everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you

Go on and go free
Maybe you're too close to me
I can feel your body move
But does it mean that much to me
I can't go on singing the same theme
"cause you can't see we've got everything
Baby, even though you know that

Everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
You just don't care

Lyrics & music: john oates

My baby went to africa
With the dirty lens photographer
My baby stayin' in jungle land
With a u s body and a real light tan
My baby went to africa
With a make-up man and his love-sick lover
She get a couple o' grand and a two-piece suit
Let the folks back home see the native beauty
My baby went to africa
Gotta pack my bags and get to her
Before the lions and tigers try to jump on her bones

Got a good education now
And i'm ready for the world (yeah)
We've been going together
It's gonna last forever, it ain't never gonna change
I'm a real hard charger (yeah)
Everybody's gonna listen to me
We're a winning combination, that nobody's gonna rearrange

Big kids breakin' up 'cause they're lookin' for fun
Everybody's leavin', boy-girl on the run
My situation's static, there's no reason to fear
It's too calm around me and it can't happen here

Big kids - think they know it all
Big kids - think they've got the world up against the wall
All the grown-ups show me that they're only big kids in disguise
Who do you think your leaders are? big kids
Who do you think your heros are? big kids
I may never reach maturity but, baby, i'm gonna try

Lyrics & music: janna allen, daryl hall

My friends wonder why i call you all of the time
What can i say
I don't feel the need to give such secrets away
You think maybe i need help, no, i know that i'm right
I'm just better off not listening to friends' advice

When they insist on knowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they want to know what the reason is
I only smile when i lie, then i tell them why
(because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
(because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(because your kiss) your kiss i can't resist

I go crazy wondering what there is to really see
Did the night just take up your time, 'cause it means more to me
Sometimes i forget what i'm doing, i don't forget what i want
Regret what i've done, regret you? i couldn't go on
And if you insist on knowing my bliss

I'll tell you this
If you want to know what the reason is
I'll only smile when i lie, then i'll tell you this

Lyrics & music: john oates

Please return, come back, i've been saving your place
Too much time has elapsed-unreality-memory erases
The rules and the rights and the wrongs don't apply
Far apart - so together is destiny weeded to fate
I write the script, you direct my dreams
We're along on the beach for the passionate scene
And it's a drag to wake up with you ... saying to me
How does it feel to be back in my arms again
I'm bored and alone and it's weakening me
One night out and i'm looking for trouble and finding it's easy
You know we all make mistakes and we all need the touch of a hand
In the right kind of place, in a time of need
I could pick up the phone, but the talk ain't cheap
I pick up on the thoughts that you're sending to me
And i wait for the day i hear you saying to me
How does it feel to be back in my arms again

What i want, you've got
And it might be hard to handle
But like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame
What i've got's full stock of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how, i can't explain
But you make my dreams come true
On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with the dreamer
I can laugh it in the face
Twist and shout my way out
And wrape yourself around me
'cause i ain't the way that you found me
I'll never be the same
'cause you may my dreams come true
I'm down on the daydream
That sleepwalk should be over by now
I know that you make my dreams come true"
