Big Star Album

Wond'ring what are you doing
You're driving me to ruin
The love that you've been stealing
Has given me a feeling

I feel like I'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end

Feel like I'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end

Wond'ring what are you doing
You're driving me to ruin
The love that you've been stealing
Has given me a feeling

Feel like I'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end

Feel like I'm dying
Feel like I'm dying

Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God

And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round

There's people around who tell you that they know
And places where they send you, and it's easy to go
They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row
But you know you don't have to, you could just say no

And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round

I've been built up and trusted
Broke down and busted
But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours if you can
Just-a hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
Though I've been trying hard against strong odds
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
Well, I'll fall if I don't fight, and at my side is God

And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Ain't no one going to turn me 'round

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you

Steal your car and bring it down
Pick me up, we'll drive around
Wish we had
A joint so bad

Bust a street light
Out past midnight

Ahh ahh ahh ah
Ahh ahh ahh ah

Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you

Won't you let me walk you home from school?
Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you, ooh ooh

Won't you tell your dad get off my back?
Tell him what we said 'bout Paint It Black
Rock and roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you, ooh ooh

Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's so, well let me know
If it's no, well I can go
I won't make you, ooh ooh

[No lyrics]

I'd like to go to India
Live in a big white house in the forest
Drink gin and tonic and play a grand piano
Read a few books
Far from what saddens my heart
Trying to live away from it

Find a new girl
Who says she feels the same
Get to know her after the trip
Bathe in a forest pool
Her life a part of mine
And let no one know until I'm gone

Don't need to talk to my doctor
Don't need to talk to my shrink
Don't need to hide behind no locked door
I don't need to think

'Cause when my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know

Read all my books and talked about
Listen to my radio
Been in school and dropped right out
Tryin' to find out what I didn't know

But when my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know

Don't need to talk to my doctor
Don't need to talk to my shrink
Don't need to hide behind no locked door
I don't need to think

'Cause when my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know

When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all I know

Once I walked a lonely road
Had no one to share my love
But then you came and showed the way
And now I hope you're here to stay

You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
So right
So right, so right

Lonely age of uncertainty
They disappear when you're near me
When you're around my life's worthwhile
And now I long to see you smile

You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
So right
So right, so right
My life is right
My life is right
My life is right

Once I walked a lonely road
Had no one to share my love
But then you came and showed the way
And now I hope you're here to stay

You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
So right
So right, so right
My life is right

You feel sad 'cause I got mad
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Things I said made things seem bad
But don't worry
'Cause it's gonna be alright now
Be okay
You know I just don't think before I speak

I've been looking for to find
Something to believe in my mind
And I thought it was you

All this time since you've been mine
I've been angry, so angry
Made it known I could make it alone
But I'm changing
And I'm gonna be alright now
Be okay
You know I just woke up and I see the way

Don't give up on me so fast
I see it's me that's wrong at last
Give me another chance

It's so hard just to stay alive each day
I really can't go on this way, oh no
Oh no

Hey

Don't give up on me so fast
I see it's me that's wrong at last
Give me another chance

Lord, I've been trying to be what I should
Lord, I've been trying to do what I could
But each time, it gets a little harder
I feel the pain
But I'll try again

Lord, I've been trying to be understood
And Lord, I've been trying to do as you would
But each time, it gets a little harder
I feel the pain
But I'll try again

I can feel it, now it's time
Open your eyes
Fears be gone, it won't be long
There's a light in the sky
It's okay to look outside
The day it will abide
And watch the sunrise

Sun, it shines on all of us
We are one in it's hand
Come inside and light my room
like the heart of every man
It's okay to look outside
The day it will abide
And watch the sunrise

I can feel it, now it's time
Open your eyes
Fears be gone, it won't be long
There's a light in the sky
It's okay to look outside
Your love it will abide
And watch the sunrise

love me again
be my friend
I need you now
I'll show you somehow
