I should have quit you long time ago,
Yeah, long time ago.
Oh yeah, long time ago.
I wouldn't be here, my children,
Down on this killin' floor.
I should have listened, baby, to my second mind x2
Everytime i go away and leave you, darling,
You send me the blues way down the line.
Babe, treat me right, baby, oh my my my
People tellin' me baby can't be satisfied;
They try to worry me baby
But they never hurt you in my eyes.
Said, people worry i can't keep you satisfied.
Let me tell you baby,
You ain't nothin but a two-bit, no-good jive.
Went to sleep last night, worked as hard as i can,
Bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man;
I should have quit you, baby, such a long time ago,
I wouldn't be here with all my troubles
Down on this killing floor.
Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg, x2
The way you squeeze my lemon,
I..i'm gonna fall right out of bed, yeah.
Hey! (conversation between robert plant & guitar)
Baby baby baby...
I'm gonna leave my children down on this killin floor.

Ooh...know i feel so strange looking out the door
Oooh...tryin hard to change but can't let go
Oooh...cryin' tears of pain and more and more
Oooh...everyday is the same as the one before

I'm walkin the floor over you
I'm walkin the floor

Every heart that breaks is a heart that's cold
To the hand that takes your dreamless soul

Ooh...is it long to wait, is it much to pay?
Oooh...sometimes it's hard waiting for the day.

You know it's hard. i said it's hard
You know it's true. i said it's hard
You know it's hard. you know it's true

Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call can you count the cost?
As you stand alone do you wonder how?
Can you step aside, does it matter now?

Every love that's changed ?-?-?-?-?-?
In the eye of the night ?-?-?-
In the day everything ?-?-?-?
She was smilin' a tear at her waters fall ??

You know it's true. you know it's true now

I'm walkin the floor over you
I'm walkin' the floor
Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call can you count the cost?
As you stand alone do you wonder how?
Can you step aside, does it matter now?

Does it matter now? (repeat)

I've been to london, seen seven wonders. i know to trip is just to fall
I used to rock it, sometimes i'd roll it. i always knew what it was for.

There can be no denyin' that the wind 'll shake 'em down
And the flat world's flyin'. there's a new plague on the land

If we could just join hands (x3)

Traversed the planet when heaven sent me. i saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight. i hear the rested rivers call
And the wind is crying, from a love that won't grow cold
My lover, she is lying, on the dark side of the globe

If we could just join hands (x3)

You got me rockin' when i ought to be a-rollin'
Darlin', tell me, darlin', which way to go
You keep me rockin', baby, then you keep me stolen
Won't you tell me, darlin', which way to go... that's right

Oh how i wonder, oh how i worry and i would dearly like to know
I've all this wonder of earthly plunder will it leave us anything to show

And our time is flyin' see the candle burnin' low
Is the new world rising, from the shambles of the old

If we could just join hands.

With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat,
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
Missus cool rides out in her aged cadillac.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

*come on, babe on the round about,
Ride on the merry-go-round,
We all know what your name is,
So you better lay your money down.

Alimony, alimony payin' your bills,
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
When your conscience hits, you knock it back with pills.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

* chorus

Tellin' tall ( helen told ??) tales of how it used to be,
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
With the butler and the maid and the servants three ( servantry ? ).
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman, oh, you got it.
Nobody hears a single word you say.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
But you keep on talkin' till your dyin' day.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

* chorus

Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

Ooh, come on baby... be my baby

Darlene, ooh, darlene, hey! hey! darlene, oh oh
Come back and be my sweet little girl
When i see you on the street, it makes my heart go flitter
I see you walkin with all those guys
It makes me feel so sick

And i don't care what people say
And i don't care what they do
Sweet child i gotta make you mine
You're the only thing that i want: you!
Baby baby when you walk down the block,
See the people (????)
Woooh! child! oh ya drive me wild!
I gotta do it really gonna try

Oh baby, i got my car
I'll take you as far
I'm gonna take you every place
I'm gonna boogie-woogie-woogie-woogie that's fine

I'm gonna prove it, darlene
I'm gonna make ya my girl
I'm gonna boogie, darlene
I'm gonna send ya in another world

Cause i love darlene, i gotta love 'er, yes i do
I've been savin all my money
I've been workin all day long
I gotta give it all back to you!

I don't know how i'm gonna tell you
I can't play with you no more,
I don't know how i'm gonna do what mama told me,
My friend, the boy next door.
I can't believe what people saying
You're gonna let your hair hang down,
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long,
You're in the darker side of town.
And when i'm out i see you walking,
Why don't your eyes see me,
Could it be you've found another game to play,
What did mama say to me.

*that's the way,
Oh, that's the way it ought to be,
Yeah, yeah, mama say
That's the way it ought to stay.

And yesterday i saw you standing by the river,
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes,
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?
And yesterday i saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die.
And so i say to you that nothing really matters,
And all you do is stand and cry.
I don't know what to say about it,
When all you ears have turned away,
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,
Is that the way it ought to stay?
That's the way
That's the way it oughtta be
Oh don't you know now
Mama said.. that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah.

How come twenty four hours, baby sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh twenty-four hours, baby sometimes seem to slip into days
A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when i feel this way
Sittin, lookin at the clock, time moves so slow
I've been watchin for the hands to move
Until i just can't look no more
How come twenty four hours, baby sometimes seems to slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when i feel this way.

To sing a song for you, i recall you used to say
"oh baby this one's for we two", which in the end is you anyway

How come twenty four hours, baby sometimes slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when i feel this way.

There was a time that i stood tall, in the eyes of other men
But by my own choice i left you woman, and now i can't get back again

How come twenty-four hours, sometimes slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when i feel this way
A minute seems like a lifetime
When i feel this way...i feel this way

(berns/page/plant)

There was a time, i used to call you on my very own
We were so happy woman, talkin' for hours and hours on the telephone

Then one day, i set you up to walk right outta my life
Leavin' me all by myself, all alone, to cry every night

(babe...) oooh, i want you to come back home yeah (come on home)
(oooh yeah) sweet little girl (ooh yeah, been gone so long)
Been away so long

Now listen to me: i said i made up my mind
Woman when you left me there, oh
I was gonna find another sweet lover
Who's gonna feel all of my... cares

So i met a sweet little girl, just about as nice as she could be, oh
I fell in love with that woman, but she turned around,
And did the same thing again to me...

(babe...) baby, please come home (come on home) hoome yeah...
I know, (ya been gone too long) been away so long
(babe...) i want you to please come home, oh (come on hooome...)

So i made up my mind, i gonna crawl right back to you woman
I'm gonna plead and plead and plead, yeah, 'till you're here by my side
I can't even walk down the same old streets we used to walk down
'cause i keep thinkin about all the good times
Keep thinkin' about it, i wanna make you mine

Babe, babe, babe, please (come on home, yeah) (come on home)
(you've been gone too long)

(king/bethea)

Hear my baby comin' down the track
Betcha my baby's comin' back
Someday she'll get back to me
We're gonna raise a family

We're gonna groove, yeah groove
Yeah we're gonna groove

We're gonna love... until the break of day

Sweet as sweet as sweet can be
You don't know whatcha do to me
Let me say you're my one desire
You just set my soul on fire

Oh we're gonna groove,yeah groove
Yeah we're gonna groove
We gonna love... until the break of day

Sweet as sweet as sweet can be
Lemme tell ya you don't know whatcha do to me
You just set my soul on fire
Woman you know you're my one desire...

We gonna groove... (repeat)

I was burned in the heat of the moment,
Though it couldn't have been the heat of the day
When i learned how my time had been wasted,
(and a) tear fell as i turned away

Now i've got friends who will give me their shoulder,
Event i should happen to fall
Time and his bride growing older
I've got friends who will give me fuck all

(on the) corner of bleeker and nowhere
In the land of not quite day
A shiver runs down my backbone
Face in the mirror turns grey

So (i) looked round to hitch up the reindeer
Searching hard trying to brighten the day
I turned around to look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away.

As the moon and the stars call the order
Inside my tides dance the ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay
I don't ask that my field's full of clover
I don't moan at opportunity's door
And if you ask my advice, take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward.

Lost on the path to attainment
Search in the eyes of the wise
When i bled from the heart of the matter
I started bleeding without a disguise

Now everything's fine under heaven
Now and then you've got to take time to pause
When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around
Or you'll land in a boat without oars
Hey babe, hey babe, hey babe,
I lost my way.

Hey babe, hey babe,
I don't know where i'm gonna find it.

Hey babe, hey babe,
Do you wanna know,
Do you really, really, wanna help me, yeah?

Let me tell you now, babe
Let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right

Now my babe,
Let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right...

I wanna tell you bout my good thing
I ain't disclosing no names but--
He sure is a good friend and!
I ain't gonna tell you where he comes from, no!
If i tell you you wont come again! hey!
I ain't gonna tell you nothin but i do will, but i know, yeah!
I should do but i know now let me tell you bout my girl:
Open up a newspaper and what do i see? ahh, ah
See my girl, ah, looking at me
Ooh, and when she walks, ooh, lemme tell ya:
She walks and when she talks, she talks and
When she looks at me in the eye
She's my baby lord i wanna make her mine
Tell me baby what you want me to do!
You want me to love you, love some other man too?
Ain't gonna call me mr. pitiful, no!
I don't need no respect from nobody no! no!
Ooh yeah! no no! ahh!
I ain't gonna tell you nothing i ain't gonna no more, no!
She's my baby let me tell you that i love her so and
And! she's the woman i really wanna love
And let me tell you more, oooh!
She's my baby she lives next door
She's the one a woman the one a woman that i know.
I ain't gonna... tell you one thing that you really ought to know ooh!
She's my lover baby and i love her so and
She's the one that really makes me whirl and twirl!
And she's the kind of lover that makes me me fill the whole world and
She's the one who really makes me jump and shout, ooh!
She's the kind of girl--i know what it's all about!
Take it take it
Excuse me
Oh will ya excuse me
I'm just trying to find the bridge
Has anybody seen the bridge?
Please!
(have you seen the bridge?)
I ain't seen the bridge!
(where's that confounded bridge?)

How many more times,
Treat me the way you wanna do?
How many more times,
Treat me the way you wanna do?
When i give you all my love,
Please, please be true.
I'll give you all i've got to give,
Rings, pearls, and all.
I'll give you all i've got to give,
Rings, pearls, and all.
I've got to get you together baby,
I'm sure, sure you're gonna crawl.
Wanna love some other man too!
I was a young man, i couldn't resist
Started thinkin' it all over, just what i had missed.
Got me a girl and i kissed her and then and then...
Whoops, oh lordy, well i did it again.
Now i got ten children of my own
I got another child on the way that makes eleven.
But i'm in constant heaven.
I know it's all right in my mind
'cause i got a little schoolgirl and she's all mine
I can't get through to her 'cause it doesn't permit
But i'm gonna give her everything i've got to give.
Oh, rosie, oh, girl x2
Steal away now, steal away
Steal away baby, steal away
Little robert anthony wants to come and play.
Why don't you come to me baby?
Steal away, all right, all right...
Well they call me the hunter, that's my name
They call me the hunter, that's how i got my fame
Ain't no need to hide,
Ain't no need to run
'cause i've got you in the sights of my..........gun!
How many more times
Barrelhouse all night long, all right!
How many more times
Barrelhouse all night long?
I've got to get to you, baby
Baby, please come home.
Why don't you listen to me babe?
Why don't you please come home? x3
Ooh!

As i walk down the highway all i do is sing this song,
And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along.
There is no doubt about the words are clear,
The voice is strong, is oh so strong.
I'm just a simple guy, i live from day to day.
A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away,
There's nothing more that i can say but on a day like today
I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you.

*all i need from you is all your love,
All you got to give to me is all your love,
All i need from you is all your love,
All you got to give to me is all your love.

Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah.
I'm so glad i'm living and gonna tell the world i am,
I got me a fine woman and she says that i'm her man,
One thing that i know for sure gonna give her all the loving
Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can.
Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride,
People go and people come, see my rider right by my side,
It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race
And the best thing i can do is run.

* chorus

Oh, baby, it's cryin' time, oh, baby, i got to fly.
Got to try to find a way, got to try to get away,
'cause you know i gotta get away from you, babe.
Oh, baby, the river's red, oh, baby, in my head.
There's a funny feelin' goin' on, i don't think i can hold out long.

*and when the owls cry in the night,
Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry,
Baby, baby, baby, how do you feel?
If the river runs dry, baby, how do you feel?

Craze, baby, the rainbow's end, mmm, baby, it's just a den
For those who hide, who hide their love to depths of life
And ruin dreams that we all knew so, babe.

* chorus
