Ringo Starr Album

DOESN'T MAKE A DIFF'RENCE,
DON'T CARE HOW FAR.
WE CAN GO THE DISTANCE IN MY CAR.

DON'T BOTHER WITH DIRECTIONS,
DOESN'T MATTER WHERE WE ARE.
CRUISIN' DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN MY CAR.

HEY!

IN MY CAR.

I DON'T NEED NO BACK SEAT DRIVERS,
SO I LEAVE THEM ALL BEHIND.
AND PROBLEMS, THEY CAN'T FIND ME IN MY CAR.

IN MY CAR.

HEY!

IN MY CAR.

(In my car)

(In my car)

(In my car)

(My car)

WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING,
MUCH TO MY SURPRISE,
THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN
AND I WAS STILL ALIVE.

I LOOKED INTO THE MIRROR
AND ACCORDING TO MY EYES,
THE MARTIANS HAVE INVADED,
IT'S HOPELESS.

I WENT TO SEE MY DOCTOR
TO ASK HIM WHAT TO DO
DEPENDING ON THE DIAGNOSIS.

I SAID, "DOC, I'M SEEING DOUBLE,
AND HOW ARE BOTH OF YOU?"
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM, IT'S HOPELESS.

YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE, IT'S HOPELESS.
EV'RYBODY DANCE!

WELL, THERE'S PARADISE AND DOOMSDAY,
IT DEPENDS ON WHICH COMES FIRST.
THERE'S INNER PEACE THROUGH MEDITATION.

THERE'S OPTIMISTS AND PESSIMISTS,
I DON'T KNOW WHICH IS WORSE,
BUT THE YOGI MOW MOW, BUT THE YOGI MOW MOW,
IT'S HOPELESS.

THE SOLUTION HAS BEEN DISSOLVED,
THE CRISIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED.
THERE'S NO NEED TO CHANGE YOUR PLANS,
IT'S A HOPELESS SITUATION.

FOR TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY,
AND EV'RYTHING WILL BE OKAY.
AND BY THE WAY, IT'S HOPELESS.
(Hopeless)

YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE
WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR AN ALIBI.
YOU LOOKED IN MY EYES
AND I COULD TELL YOU NO LIE.
I WAS MAKING LIFE, FEEL ALL RIGHT,
BUT IT WASN'T GOOD.
LOOKIN' AT YOU, LOOKIN' AT ME,
I KNEW YOU'D UNDERSTOOD.

I'VE BEEN DOWN FOR SO LONG,
LOOKING FOR A GOOD DISGUISE.
FEELIN' SORRY FOR MYSELF,
I DIDN'T REALISE.
THAT I WAS DIGGING HOLES,
ACTING ROLES
WITH NO LINES TO SAY.
I WAS LOSING SLEEP, COUNTING SHEEP
THAT NEVER WENT AWAY.

I WAS WAITIN' FOR YOU TO COME INTO MY LIFE,
MAKING UP STORIES OR LOOKING FOR AN ALIBI.

NOW WE'RE TOGETHER,
IT'S GONNA BE NEVER
WE'LL BE PARTED AGAIN.
I'VE LOVED YOU SINCE THE DAY WE MET
AND THAT WAS WAY BACK WHEN
I WAS MAKING LIFE, FEEL ALL RIGHT
IN THE SAME OLD WAY. (same old way)
I'M DIGGING HOLES,
ACTING ROLES
WITH NO LINES TO SAY

I WAS WAITIN' FOR YOU TO COME INTO MY LIFE,
MAKING UP STORIES, LOOKING FOR AN ALIBI.

LOOKING FOR AN ALIBI.

OOH, LOOKING FOR AN ALIBI.

(scat sing)

OH, MAKING THOSE ALIBIS.

(scat sing)

OH, LOOKING FOR AN ALIBI.

(scat sing)

HORMONE IN PRODUCTION,
SUCH A WASTE OF TIME,
LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.

I KNOW I'M A STRANGER,
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT I'M.
WON'T YOU BE MY BABY?

GOOD GIRLS SHOULD BE CAREFUL
AND ALWAYS HOME ON TIME.
(Good girls should be careful)

DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME,
YOU CAN MAKE THE RULES,
BUT I'LL MAKE THE ARRANGEMENTS.

ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS BE MY BABY.

BE MY BABY.

HELP YOU WITH YOUR PROBLEMS,
YOU HELP ME WITH MINE.
WON'T YOU BE MY BABY?

I CAN TEACH YOU THINGS
YOU'LL NEVER LEARN IN SCHOOL,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO THANK ME.

ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS BE MY BABY.

BE MY BABY, THAT'S ALL YOU GOTTA DO,
YOU'LL TAKE CARE OF ME, BABE,
AND I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

(Won't you be my baby?)

(Be my baby)

(Be my baby)

(Be my baby)

(Be my baby)

(Be my baby)

(Baby, baby, baby, be my baby)
BABE, BABE, BABE, BABY, BABE...

COME ON, BABY, COME ON, BABY, NOW,
OH, BABY, BABY, (baby, baby) BABY, BABY,
BE MY BABY, OH, BE MY BABY.

I SAID, BABE, BABE, BABE, BABY, BABE...

"TURN THE TAPE OFF JUST FOR ME!"

WELL, SHE WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET,
LOOKING FINE AS SHE COULD BE, HEY, HEY.
WELL, SHE WAS WALKING DOWN THAT STREET,
LOOKING FINE AS SHE CAN BE.
WELL, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, BABY,
WO, YEAH, WHAT I'D SAY.

(She's about a mover)
(She's about a mover)

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, WHAT I'D SAY.
(She's about a mover)

WELL, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, BABY,
WO, YEAH, WHAT I'D SAY, HEY, HEY.

SHE STROLLED ON UP TO ME,
SAID, "HEY, BIG BOY, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?" HEY, HEY.
WELL, SHE STROLLED ON UP TO ME,
SHE SAID, "HEY, BIG BOY, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?"
IF YOU WANT LOVE AND CONVERSATION,
WO, YEAH, WHAT I'D SAY.

(She's about a mover)
(She's about a mover)
(She's about a mover)

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, WHAT I'D SAY.

IF YOU WANT LOVE AND CONVERSATION
WO, YEAH, WHAT I'D SAY, HEY, HEY.

WELL, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, BABY,
WO, YEAH, WHAT I'D SAY, HEY, HEY.

COME ON, DO IT TO ME, BABY!

YEAH!

I KEEP FORGETTIN' YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE,
I KEEP FORGETTIN' YOU DON'T WANT ME NO MORE,
I KEEP FORGETTIN' THAT YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU
DIDN'T WANT ME AROUND ANY MORE.

BUT THESE STUPID OLD FEET
JUST HEAD FOR YOUR STREET
LIKE THEY'VE DONE SO MANY TIMES BEFORE.
AND THIS STUBBORN OLD FIST
ON THE END OF MY WRIST,
STARTS KNOCKING ON YOUR FRONT DOOR.

I KEEP FORGETTIN' YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE,
I KEEP FORGETTIN' YOU DON'T WANT ME NO MORE,
I KEEP FORGETTIN' ABOUT THOSE HEARTBREAKING NIGHTS
AND THOSE HEARTBREAKING THINGS THAT YOU SAID - OO.

THOUGH I KNOW IN MY HEART,
WE'VE DRIFTED APART,
STILL I CAN'T BELIEVE OUR LOVE IS DEAD.
THOUGH IT'S PLAIN AS CAN BE
THAT YOU'RE FINISHED WITH ME,
I JUST CAN'T GET IT THROUGH MY HEAD.

I KEEP FORGETTIN' YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE, (you don't love me no more)
DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE, (love me no more)
I KEEP FORGETTIN' YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE.

I KEEP FORGETTIN' YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE,
I KEEP FORGETTIN' YOU DON'T WANT ME NO MORE,
I KEEP FORGETTIN' ABOUT THOSE HEARTBREAKING NIGHTS
AND THOSE HEARTBREAKING THINGS THAT YOU SAID - OO.

THOUGH I KNOW IN MY HEART,
WE'VE DRIFTED APART,
STILL I CAN'T BELIEVE OUR LOVE IS DEAD.
THOUGH IT'S PLAIN AS CAN BE
THAT YOU'RE FINISHED WITH ME,
I JUST CAN'T GET IT THROUGH MY HEAD.

I KEEP FORGETTIN' YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE, (no, don't love me no more)
DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE, (oh, you don't love me no more)
I KEEP FORGETTIN' YOU DON'T LOVE ME NO MORE. (yo!)

HOLLYWOOD IS WALTZING,
DOIN' THAT DOUBLE TALKING.
ANYTHING THEY COULD DO
TO MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER L.A. NIGHT.

AND CAN YOU IMAGINE
ALL THOSE GIRLS ARE STROLLING
ALL THE BOYS ARE HOLDING.
THEY'RE DOING THEIR BEST TO
MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER L.A. NIGHT,
IN A PICTURE SHOW LIFE.

IN THEIR OWN LITTLE WORLD,
IN THEIR OWN LITTLE SPACE,
THEY CAN BE WHO THEY WANT TO
IN THEIR OWN LITTLE PLACE.

HOLLYWOOD IS REELING,
WITH THE DOUBLE MEANING.
ANYTHING THEY COULD SAY TO
MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER L.A. NIGHT.

AND CAN YOU IMAGINE
ALL THE GIRLS ARE SMILING,
ALL THE BOYS ARE TRYING.
ANYTHING THEY CAN TAKE TO
BURN AWAY ANOTHER L.A. NIGHT,
IN A PICTURE SHOW LIFE.

THEY WIN AND THEY LOSE,
AND THEY PICK AND THEY CHOOSE,
THEY'VE BEEN DANCING FOR SO LONG,
WHAT ELSE CAN THEY DO?

HOLLYWOOD IS ROCKING,
DOIN' THE DOUBLE TALKING.
ANYTHING THEY CAN DO
TO MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER L.A. NIGHT.

IN THEIR OWN LITTLE PLACE.

THEY CAN BE WHO THEY WANT TO
IN THEIR OWN LITTLE PLACE.

THEY CAN BE WHO THEY WANT TO.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY, I SEE IT IN YOUR FACE.
WHEN TEARS FALL
THEY LEAVE A TRACE.

I TOLD MYSELF IT WON'T BE LONG,
IT'S TOO BAD
TO LOSE WHAT WE HAD.

I THOUGHT ALL LOVE SONGS WOULD GO ON AND ON.

PEOPLE TALK, YES, I THINK THEY KNOW.
I GUESS THAT IT MUST SHOW
WE'VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO.

THEY WALK BY AND THEY WHISPER LOW,
THE RUMOURS HAD TO FLOW.
WE'VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO.

I THOUGHT ALL LOVE SONGS WOULD GO ON AND ON.

PEOPLE TALK, YES, I THINK THEY KNOW.
I GUESS THAT IT MUST SHOW
WE'VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO.

THEY WALK BY AND THEY WHISPER LOW,

WE'VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO.

EV'RYBODY'S IN A HURRY BUT ME.

EV'RYBODY'S IN A HURRY BUT ME.

I'M GOING DOWN,
I'M GOING DOWN.

I'M GOING DOWN.

I'M COMING UP,
I'M COMING UP.

I'M COMING UP.

I'M MOVING ON, (moving on)
I'M MOVING ON. (moving on)

(Well, we're moving on) MOVING ON.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY, I SEE IT IN YOUR FACE.
