Though it hardly seems like yesterday it wasn't long ago That little brother's bubble gum was stuck here I remember mother's great surprise it wasn't me you know He got into the oven on his own, I fear Little brother, when you take the world by storm Little brother, keep your nose out of where it don't belong Little brother We were one big happy family for Sunday at the zoo The lions were asleep, the bears were restless So, I merely tried to hold him up, to get a better view He slipped out of my hands on the way down, I guess How can one so small cause all this trouble by himself? You'd suspect that maybe he had help from someone else Always seems like I get blamed for all of his mistakes Mom, I don't see why we need a little brother after all Little brother, when you take the world by storm Little brother, keep your nose out of where it don't belong Little brother Yo no tengo la paciencia No lo quiero el niño Este es un chico malo Es un ablastino Little brother, when you take the world by storm Little brother, keep your nose out of where it don't belong Little brother Little brother, little brother, little brother Little brother, little brother, little brother Little brother, little brother, little brother Little brother, little brother, little brother, yeah (Yeah, hey, oh, oh, oh, oh) Little, little brother Ah, little, little brother Hey, yeah, yeah Little, little, little, little, little brother Little, little, little brother Little, little, little brother Ah, little, little, little brother Yeah, little brother

Standing on the outside Looking in You know it's been a long time Don't know where to begin So much I wanna say So much I wanna do Friends are telling me It's time that you broke through I've been through the hard times Of searching soul You know it's been a hard climb From rock and roll Now I feel a need in me So hard to explain Now I've seen the joy and light And I wanna remain Standing on the inside I finally broke that line Ring around the circle Don't you know that it feels so fine Every waking moment I just wanna sing the news That I'm standing on the inside I kicked away them blues All the phoney faces Stand in line All the backslappers Know my name this time Now that I've turned the lock Now that I've opened the door I won't be on the outside, no Anymore Standing on the inside I finally broke that line Ring around the circle Don't you know that it feels so fine Every waking moment I just wanna sing the news That I'm standing on the inside I pushed away them blues Now that I've turned the lock Now that I've opened the door I won't be on the outside, no Anymore Standing on the inside I finally broke that line Ring around the circle Don't you know that it feels so fine Every waking moment I just wanna sing the news That I'm standing on the inside I kicked away them blues Standing on the inside (standing on the inside) Standing on the inside (standing on the inside) I kicked, I kicked, I kicked, I kicked (standing on the inside) Standing on the inside (standing on the inside) Standing on the inside (standing on the inside) I kicked, I kicked, I kicked, I kicked (standing on the inside) Standing on the inside (standing on the inside) Standing on the inside (standing on the inside) I'm on the inside Standing on the inside I kicked, I kicked, I kicked, I kicked Babe, baby, yeah

Stumbling along Someone somewhere's been neglecting things I've known all along It's wrong to go about expecting things But looking for love in this city Is like getting burned without feeling the pain Safety first, cries the sign on the street Keep to yourself, sing the faces I meet So far from home All alone in New York in the rain Chilled by the breeze Autumn shadows are concealing things Worn at the knees Dungarees begin revealing things Lord, I'm so low and lonely Worst of all is this rain keeps on falling Safety first, cries the sign on the street Keep to yourself, sing the faces I meet So far from home All alone in New York in the rain Da, da, da, da, da Da, da, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Da, da, da, da Da, da, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Lord, I'm so low and lonely Worst of all is this rain keeps on falling Safety first, cries the sign on the street Keep to yourself, sing the faces I meet So far from home All alone in New York in the rain All alone in New York in the rain

Baby, there's a tear, fallin' from your eye You know when I'm around, you ain't supposed to cry When you feel up-tight, Im here to make it right Let daddy know, let daddy know On a cloudy day, when you're all alone I'll only be as far as your telephone My number's on the wall, don't be afraid to call Let daddy know Let me be the one who turns you on to sunshine If anybody ever brings you down When you need some love and understandin' Count on me, I'll always be around If this crazy world should ever get in your way I'll turn the earth around, and whip you up a brand new day When it comes to you, there's nothin' I can't do Let daddy know If this crazy world should ever get in your way I'll turn the earth around, and whip you up a brand new day When it comes to you, there's nothin' I can't do Let daddy know, let daddy know You gotta let your daddy know

They say, you know You're really a thing with the sailors You go overboard so easily Is it true that you are a personal friend of James Taylor's? Tell me, is it true what they say about you? Tell me, if you please Ease my suspicions Ease my suspicions You live your life Just like you was a part of the scenery You got yourself a handy camoflage You try like hell To constantly avoid me Tell me, what is it you got hidden in your garage? Tell me, is it true what they say about you? Tell me, if you please Ease my suspicions Ease my suspicions Tell me, is it true what they say about you? Tell me, if you please Ease my suspicions Ease my suspicions

Love Love will keep us together Think of me, babe, whenever Some sweet talking guy comes along Singing his song Don't mess around You gotta be strong Just stop Cause I really love ya Stop I'll be thinking of ya Look in my heart and let love Keep us together You You belong to me now Ain't gonna set you free now When those guys start haning around Talking me down Hear with your heart and you won't hear a sound Just stop Cause I really love ya Stop I'll be thinking of ya Look in my heart and let love Keep us together Whatever Young and beautiful But someday your looks will be gone When the others turn you off Who'll be turning you on? I will I will I will I will be there to share forever Love will keep us together I've said it before and I'll say it again While others pretend I'll need you now And I'll need you then Just stop Cause I really love ya Stop I'll be thinking of ya Look in my heart and let love Keep us together Whatever I will I will I will I will Stop Cause I really love ya Stop I'll be thinking of ya Look in my heart and let love Keep us together Whatever I will I will I will I will Yeah

You think you know me pretty well But how can you tell You never get inside my head The times we talk We never speak We play hide and seek So many things are left unsaid Why can't you see What's on the other side of me? The side of me That reaches out to you Sweet thoughts and dreams Like drops of rain on rippling streams That wind and bend Rivers with no end Flowing on the other side of me It seems I always get unstrung I trip on my tongue With words that come out something else I'm so afraid the things I say Might chase you away I have to hide behind myself Why can't you see What's on the other side of me The side of me That reaches out to you Why must I hide These feelings that have been denied? Only you can set me free See what's on the other side of me La la la la la la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la I have to hide behind myself Why can't you see What's on the other side of me? The side of me That reaches out to you Why must I hide These feelings that have been denied? Only you can set me free See what's on the other side of me On the other side of me On the other side of me

Once a cheerleader loved a classroom clown I wrote your name across the old playground That old school spirit is still hangin' round You gave me your heart and I gave you a ring Such a beautiful thing And it starts me singin' Hey, pretty little schoolgirl Hey hey hey, you're still my little schoolgirl Love may come, love may fall You're the sweetest one of all And I still recall our rock and roll wedding day Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la We always love to put them oldies on Still get excited 'bout our favourite song You never lost that little schoolgirl charm You sit on my lap at the end of the day I get carried away Don't you hear me sayin' Hey, pretty little schoolgirl Hey hey hey, you're still my little schoolgirl Love may come, love may fall You're the sweetest one of all And I still recall our rock and roll wedding day Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la Hey, pretty little schoolgirl Hey hey hey, you're still my little schoolgirl Singin' hey, pretty little schoolgirl Hey hey hey, you're still my little schoolgirl...

I believe that maybe someday We will write the perfect melody One to fill the empty spaces Faces here have never smiled so brightly I've imagined that I loved you More than anyone could love someone After all I'm only human I do what I can, takin' a stand For peace and love Hard and troubled times surround me Men below, they have no sympathy All the chords I strike are cryin' Dyin' to be heard from deep inside me I believe that maybe someday When the world has had its way with me Part of me will still be human To do what I can, takin' a stand For peace and love To do what I can, Takin' a stand For peace and love

Days of devils, kings, and clowns Angel songs and birthday tunes Valentines and wishing wells Magic stairways, moons, and Junes Silly rhymes, monkeyshines Pictures on a stage 'Round and 'round the records go Time to turn the page This will be our last song together Words will only make us cry This will be our last song together There's no other way we can say goodbye Misty faces, far off places Came and danced across the room (Across the room) Sha-la-las and doo-be-downs, the sounds that chased away the gloom Yesterday is yesterday, the past is dead and gone Nostalgia just gets in the way, let's stop hanging on This will be our last song together Words will only make us cry This will be our last song together There's no other way we can say goodbye The la-la-la-la-la The la-la-la, the la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Now we go our separate ways and leave the world we used to know My scratchy worn-out '45, an echo on the radio The tra-la days are over, those days of me and you Now we know that breaking up is really hard to do This will be our last song together Words will only make us cry This will be our last song together There's no other way we can say goodbye The la-la-la-la-la The la-la-la, the la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la This will be our last song together Words will only make us cry This will be our last song together There's no other way we can say goodbye
