I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no satisfaction.
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no.

When I'm drivin' in my car
and that man comes on the radio
and he's tellin' me more and more
about some useless information
supposed to fire my imagination.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no satisfaction.
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no.

When I'm watchin' my TV
and that man comes on to tell me
how white my shirts can be.
Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
the same cigarrettes as me.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no girl with action.
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no.

When I'm ridin' round the world
and I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
and I'm tryin' to make some girl
who tells me baby better come back later next week
'cause you see I'm on losing streak.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no, I can't get no,
I can't get no satisfaction,
no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction

Well I told you once and I told you twice 
But ya never listen to my advice 
You don't try very hard to please me 
With what you know it should be easy 

Well this could be the last time 
This could be the last time 
Maybe the last time 
I don't know. Oh no. Oh no 

Well, I'm sorry girl but I can't stay 
Feelin' like I do today 
It's too much pain and too much sorrow 
Guess I'll feel the same tomorrow 

Well this could be the last time 
This could be the last time 
Maybe the last time 
I don't know. Oh no. Oh no 

Well I told you once and I told you twice 
That someone will have to pay the price 
But here's a chance to change your mind 
'Cuz I'll be gone a long, long time 

Well this could be the last time 
This could be the last time 
Maybe the last time 
I don't know. Oh no. Oh no 
Well, this could be the last time

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by

My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch as tears go by

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doing things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch as tears go by


. . .


Time is on my side (Yes it is)
Time is on my side (Yes it is)
Now you always say that you want to be free
But you'll come running back, you'll come running back
You'll come running back to me

Yeah, time is on my side (Yes it is)
Time is on my side (Yes it is)
You're searching for good times, but just wait and see
You'll come running back...

Go ahead, baby, go ahead. Go ahead and light up the town
And baby, do anything your heart desires
Remember, I'll always be around
And I know like I told you so many times before
You're gonna come back
Yeah, you're gonna come back, baby
Knockin', yeah, knockin' right on my door, yeah!

Time is on my side (Yes it is)
Time is on my side (Yes it is)
Cause I've got real the love, the kind that you need
You'll come running back...

Yeah, time, time time is on my side (Yes it is)
I said, time, time, time is on my side (Yes it is)
I said, time, time, time is on my side

Well, baby used to stay out all night long 
She made me cry, she done me wrong 
She hurt my eyes open, that's no lie 
Tables turn and now her turn to cry 

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now 
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now 

Well, she used to run around with every man in town 
She spent all my money, playing her high class game 
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried 
Tables turn and now her turn to cry 

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now 
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now 

Well, I used to walk in the morning, get my breakfast in bed 
When I'd gotten worried she'd ease my aching head 
But now she's here and there, with every man in town 
Still trying to take me for that same old clown 

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now 
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now 
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now 
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now

I want you back again
I want your love again
I know you find it hard to reason with me
But this time it's diff'rent, darling you'll see

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

You said we're through before
You walked out on me before
I tried to tell you, but you didn't want to know
This time you're diff'rent and determined to go

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You gotta tell...

I wait as the days go by
I long for the nights to go by
I hear the knock on my door that never comes
I hear the telephone that hasn't rung

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You gotta tell...

You're the kind of person 
You meet at certain dismal dull affairs. 
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud 
Running up and down the stairs. 
Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years. 
And though you've tried you just can't hide 
Your eyes are edged with tears. 

You better stop 
Look around 
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes 
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown. 

When you were a child 
You were treated kind 
But you were never brought up right. 
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys 
But still you cried all night. 
Your mother who neglected you 
Owes a million dollars tax. 
And your father's still perfecting ways of making ceiling wax. 

You better stop, look around 
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes 
Here comes your nilne-teenth nervous breakdown. 

Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane. 
Well nothing I do don't seem to work, 
It only seems to make matters worse. Oh please. 

You were still in school 
When you had that fool 
Who really messed your mind. 
And after that you turned your back 
On treating people kind. 
On our first trip 
I tried so hard to rearrange your mind. 
But after while I realized you were disarranging mine. 

You better stop, look around 
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes 
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown. 
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown 
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown

There've been so many girls that I've known,
I've made so many cry and still I wonder why
Here comes the little girl,
I see her walking down the street.
She's all by herself,
Trying so hard to please, but
She'll never break, nerver break, never break, never break
This heart of stone. Oh, no, no, this heart of stone.
What's different about her?
I don't really know. No matter how I try
I just can't maker her cry.
But she'll never break, never break, never break, never break
This heart of stone. Oh, no, no, no, this heart of stone.
Don't keep on looking that some old way.
If you try acting sad, you'll only make me glad.
Better listen little girl,
You go on walking down the street,
I ain't got no love, I ain't the kind to meet.
But you'll never break, never break, never break, never break
This heart of stone. Oh, no, no, this heart of stone,
You'll never break this heart of stone.

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a Union Jack
And says, I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack

I say, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby

The telephone is ringing
I say, Hi, it's me. Who is there on the line?
A voice says, Hi, hello, how are you?
Well, I guess I'm doin' fine
He says, It's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever wanna go to bed ?
Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have
to drive me out of my head?

I say, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby

I was sick and tired, fed up with this
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired
And I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just
like a flag stuck on my window screen

I say, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby

I say, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd


. . .



I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be 
You're gonna give your love to me 
I'm gonna love you night and day 
Well love is love and not fade away 
Well love is love and not fade away 

My love bigger than a Cadillac 
I try to show it and you're drivin' me back 
Your love for me has got to be real 
For you to know just how I feel 
Love is real and not fade away 
Well love is real and not fade away 

I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be 
You're gonna give your love to me 
Love to last more than one day 
Well love is love and not fade away 
Well love is love and not fade away 
Well love is love and not fade away 
Love, love is love and not fade away 
Not fade away 
Not fade away

There've been good times
There've been bad times
I have my share of hard times too
But I lost my faith in the world,
honey, when I lost you

Remember the good times
we've had together?
Don't you want them back again?
Tho' these hard times are
bugging me now
Honey now it's the same

There's gotta be trust in this world,
or it won't get very far
Well, trust in someone,
or there's gonna be a war


. . .


Well, you've got your diamonds and you've got your pretty clothes
And the chauffeur drives your car
You let everybody know
But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

Your mother she's a heiress, owns a block in Saint John's Wood
And your father'd be there with her
If he only could
But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

Your old man took her diamonds and tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stepney
Not in Knightsbridge anymore
So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire

Now you've got some diamonds and you will have some others
But you'd better watch your step, girl
Or start living with your mother
So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire
So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire
