1. Little lady

Well I saw my little lady
Walking down the street
And I asked her Where you going to
Well I saw my little lady
Walking down the street
She said she'd found somebody new
Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Now I'm like a rolling stone

So I made another lady
And so many more
Didn't really know wich way to go
So I made another lady
And so many more
But no-one did I get to know
Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Now I'm like a rolling stone

Then I saw my little lady
Walking down the street
Didn't know where she was going to
So I told my little lady
Walking down the street
Now you know what I've been going through
Found herself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Living like a rolling stone

I was like a rolling
I was like a rolling stone

2. Most of the time

Walking alone, a street with no phone
Could I be younger most of the time?
Doing her wrong, taking so long
Should I do all things in my own time?
May I be wiser, yes, than most men will ever be?
May I be younger most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time

May I be wiser, yes, than most men will ever be?
May I be younger most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time

3. I saw the light

You made me love you
Now I can't say goodbye
You're way above me
But I'll never know why

And when I turn left
And then you turn right
And you say you're right
And yo're wrong
I know you're wrong

I saw the light in you
Wasn't much that I could do
I saw the light in you
I saw the light

You made me like you
No like you I am
I'm trying to stay me
But I don't know if I can

When I say it's black
And you say it's white
And I say it's black
And you're wrong
I known you're wrong

Keep standing on a platform
Watching all the trains go past
Keep on trying to catch one
But you know they're much to fast
Never seem to make it
But I know the reason why
I need to need to need to
Need to get away

4. Over and done

I really didn't wanna break it
You know I'm sorry it's over and done
I really thought we would have made it
But now it's gone
Can you look into my eyes and tell me
That there's nothing wrong
I know you know it's not the same
It's not the same old song
It's over and over and over
I told you
It's over and done

None of us are getting younger
But we all want to be a millionaire
And when you stop to think about it
It seems unfair
But if you never stop to think at all
You'd never be aware
And never understand the meaning
Of the love we shared
I'ts over and over I told you
I'ts over
It's only fair
Oh it's over and over
I told you
I'ts over and done

It's no good trying to make it better
You know it's doesn't feel the right to do
Everything we shared together
Would break in two
Can you hear what I've been trying to say
I wouldn't do you wrong
We've got to get it over now and learn
To carry on
I'ts over and over and over
I told you
It's over and done
I'ts over and over and over
I told you
It's over and done
Oh it's over and over
I told you
It's over and done

5. Nightride

Dreaming, going on a night ride
Hoping, it's gonna be the right ride
Feeling so well
I'm in tune cant' you tell
That I'm grooving
Can't you tell I'm in tune
And I'm moving so much closer to you

Leaning, hoping for a straight line
Meaning, hoping for the right rhyme
I'm in tune to the room
'Cos my head just went Boom
And I'm moving
Can't you tell I'm in tune
And I'm moving so much closer to you
Can't you tell I'm in tune
And I'm moving so much closer to you

You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me

Scheming, thinking of the right place
Beaming, laughing at my own face
We've got a long way to go
'Cos you make like you're so dissaproving
But can't you tell I'm in tune
And I'm moving so much closer to you
Can't you tell I'm in tune
And I'm moving so much closer to you

You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You......

6. Down down

Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I want all the world to see
To see you're laughing
And you're laughing at me
I can take it all from you
Again again again again again again again
Deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I have all the ways you see
To keep you guessing
Stop your messing with me
You'll be back to find your way
Again again again again again again again
Deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down

Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I have found out you see
I know what you're doing
What you`re doing to me
I'll keep on and say to you
Again again again again again again again
Deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down

7. Broken man

Sitting by a broken window
Up in a back room swallowing wine
Gazing down a backstreet garden
With my bed chair table and wine
Looks like I'm going no where but no where's where I am
Guess I'll always be a backstreet broken man
Oooh broken man, oh yeah, broken man

Calling out my name and number
As I was walking out of my cell
Louie gave me back my wallet
He nearly dropped my picture of Nell
Drinking gets you nowhere but nowhere's where I am
Guess I'll always be a backstreet broken man
Oooh broken man, oh yeah, backstreet broken man

Early on a Sunday morning
As I was walking on down the lane
Someone said, I beg your pardon
And I was sure I knew her name
She was going somewhere but nowhere's where I ran
Guess I'll always be a backstreet broken man
Oooh that's where I am
Guess I'm gonna stay a backstreet broken man

8. What to do

I found her in a nowhere and I lost her
And I found her and I lost her in a way
She told me of a life, of a great life
Of a fun life but a dumb life in a way
We took off to a somewhere, it was fun there
All along there but we left there in a way

I didn't know just what to do
I didn't know just what to do
I didn't know just what to do to do

We started talkin easy 'bout the sleazy
And the easy things that people do
I told her of a life, of a strange one
Pre-arranged one that I dreamt of anyway

I didn't know just what to do
I didn't know just what to do
I didn't know just what to do to do

I found her in a nowhere, and I lost her
And I found her and I lost her in a way
I told her of a life, of a strange one
Pre-arranged one that I dreamt of anyway

I didn't know just what to do
I didn't know just what to do
I didn't know just what to do to do

9. Where I am

Let me know, let me see
What is this thing that is constantly happening to me, yeah
'Cos when you hold me tight, oh how it feels so right
Yeah and I know where I am

If I should cry, let me cry
My tears are crying a lullaby
'Cos when I hold you tight, oh how it feels so right
Yeah and I know where I am

Changes in me, learning to be
Everything that I just silently wanted to see
'Cos when I'm all alone, everything that I own
Lets me know where I am
Give to me what you can
I'll give you all I command

10. Bye bye Johnny

Well she drew out all her money from the Southern trust
And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus
Leaving Louisianna for the golden west
Down came the tears from her happiness
Her own little son, named Johnny B. Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode

She remembered making money out from gathering crops
Buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble she'll be satisfied
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this
When she got to give her son a goodbye kiss

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode

Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for them by the railroad track
Every time they heard a locomotiv roar
They'd be standing, a waiting by the kitchen door

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode
