Tom Jones Album

Fightin' fire with fire

Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight wait till the party's over
Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame

Fightin' fire with fire (x2)
Burning down the house

My house S'out of the ordinary
That's right Don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire..

Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said "That ain't the way to have fun, son"

Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think momma's chocking from the smell of stale perfume
And the cigarette you're smoking about to scare me half to death
Open up the window, let me catch my breath

Some radio is blastin'
someone's knockin' at the door
I'm lookin' at my girlfriend
She just passed out on the floor
I've seen so many things
I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is
I don't wanna see no more

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come (Mama told me)
She said "That ain't the way to have fun, no" (no, no)
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

Mama told me, mama told me
Mana told me, mama told me
Mama told me not to come (Mama told me not to come)
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, no, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son" (Mama told me)

Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me not to come (Mama told me not to come)
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun" (oh no, no)...

I was born long ago
I am the chosen I'm the one
I have come to save the day
And I won't leave until I'm done
And there is why you've got to try
You got to breath and have some fun
Though I'm not paid I play this game
And I won't stop until I'm done

But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way?
And I got to got to know

I don't know why we always cry
This we must leave and get undone
We haven't changed and rearranged
And turn this planet back to one
So tell me why we got to die
And kill each other one by one
We've got to love and rub-a-dub
We've got to dance and fall in love

But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way?
And I got to got to know

But what I really want to know is
Are you gonna go my way?
And I got to got to know got to know

All the stars may shine bright
All the clouds may be white
But when you smile whoa how I feel so good
That I can hardly wait to hold you
Enfold you; never enough render your heart to me

All mine
You have to be

From that cloud, number nine, danger starts
That sharp incline and such sad regrets
Oh as these starry skies
As they swiftly fall, make no mistake
You shant escape, tethered and tied
There's nowhere to hide from me

All mine
You have to be

So don't resist
We shall exist
Until the day
Until the day I die

All mine
All you have to be

All mine
Yes, you have to be
Whoa you have to be
All mine

In the summertime
The taxman's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I've got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Save me, from this squeeze
I've got a big fat momma tryin' to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime (everything seems fine)

My girlfriend's gone off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty
And now I'm sitting here
Sipping on my ice cold beer
Lazing on a sunny afternoon

Help me, sail away
Give me two good reasons why I ought to stay
Cos I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
Everything is fine because it's the summertime
In the summertime
(I don't care about a doggone thing)
in the summertime
(I'm broke, I've skint, but it's the summertime)
In the summertime
(even though I ain't got a dime, in the summertime, I don't have a dime)
In the summertime
(I just got this ice cold beer, everything seems fine)
In the summertime
(Nothing seems to matter)

Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone.
You're right, and I'm left all alone.
Well, you tried to tell me so,
But how was I to know
That she was not the one for me?

You told me all along,
You're right, our love was so wrong.
But now I changed my mind,
Because she broke the ties that bind,
And I know that she never cared for me.

Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do,
I guess I'm not so smart.
Oh, you tried to tell me along she'd only break my heart.
I'm left, you're right, she's gone.
You're right, and I'm left all alone.

Well, she's gone I know not where,
But now I just don't care.
For now I'm falling for you.

If you'll forgive me now,
I'll make it up somehow.
So happy we will be,
In a home just for three,
And I'll soon forget her,
Now I know.

Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do,
I guess I'm not so smart.
You tried to tell me all along,
She'd only break my heart.

Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone.
You're right, and I'm left all alone.
Well, she's gone, I know not where,
But now I just don't care,
For now I've fallen for you.

Aww….aww baby…yeah…mmm yeah..
Huh, listen to this
Spy on me baby use satellite
Infrared to see me move through the night
Aim gonna fire shoot me right
I'm gonna like the way you fight
(Y’know I love the way you fight)

Now you found the secret code I use
To wash away my lonely blues
So I can't deny or lie cause you're
The only one to make me fly.
(you know what you are, you are)

Sexbomb Sexbomb (yeah) you're a Sexbomb (uh huh)
You can give it to me, when I need to come along (give it to me)

(You know what you’re doing to me, don’t you? hahaha I know you do.)

Well, well, well.
Seems like it was only yesterday when mama told me,
"Don't fall in love with the first girl that comes your way."
She was pretty and nice but I took her advice,
And passed her by.
Years have passed and I don't know,
If love's gonna give me a second try.

Well, the look on your face tells me you understand.
Could it be your lovelife, like mine, needs a helping hand?

Well, you need love like I do, don't you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you.

(Take It Girl)
I know it ain't fit and proper for a girl to talk this way,
But I can't cope with this loneliness,
Not one more God damned day.
Everyday bringing up your side to keep my hopes afloat,
Judging by your silence, boy, you must be in the same boat.

Well, you need love like I do, don't you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you.
You need love like I do, don't you?
It seems like I'm looking in the mirror,
When I'm looking at you.

I can't begin to tell the many nights I sat home lonely.
Come on, tell me girl, has it ever happened to you?
I'm gonna tell you something and believe me,
It ain't no joke.
My lovelife is just like a sinking boat.

I can understand a person being without money.
You can show me the reason for a person to be without love.

Listen to me now, I'm a girl and you're a guy. (yes it's true)
Come on let's give love a try. (haha, yeah)

You need love like I do, don't you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you.

Finding true love is a dream everybody wants to come true.
Can't you see? i
It's up to us to make this dream come true.

You need love like I do, don't you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you.
(Well, well) You need love like I do, don't you?
It seems like I'm looking in the mirror,
When I'm looking at you.

Ain't it true? Ain't it true? Ain't it true?
Ain't it true? Ain't it true? Yes, it's so true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, well, well, well, well, well, well
You need love too.

You need love like I do, don't you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you.
(Hey, hey) You need love like I do, don't you?
It seems like I'm looking in the mirror,
When I'm looking at you.

You need love like I do, don't you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I'm looking at you.
You need love like I do, don't you?
It seems like I'm looking in the mirror,
When I'm looking at you.

Ain't it true girl?
Well, I'm in love.
I need love.
And I need you.
And I need you too.

Words and music by Tom Jones

(Now people you know who I am,
And you know what I can do,
But I got a problem now and I'm gonna tell you about it,
I'm looking for this woman, y'see,
Listen, this is the way the story goes)

Looking out my window
Looking at the rain
Nothing left but pain
Why'd you go and leave me
Sad alone and blue
Looking out my window woman
Tryin' to find you

Why did you leave me?
Why did you grieve me?

Looking out my window
What do I see?
Nobody's crying
Half as bad as me
I don't think that they feel
So alone and blue
Looking out my window baby
Trying to find you

Why did you leave me?
Why did you grieve me?

I'd like to tell you about
This little girl that left
Me so alone and blue
The trouble is if I paint the
Picture too well you
Might fall in love with her too
She was about 5'6
A little bag of tricks
My mama told me to watch myself but I didn't listen
Because for you baby I'd scratch out my eye

Looking out my window
Down the railroad track
Waiting for that little brown eyed girl
She's coming back
I gotta hear that whistle blowing
Down the line
Come back girl
She'll be mine, oh mine

Why did you leave me?
Why did you grieve me?

Woah

Baby come on home
I'm so alone
Y'know I don't care what the world might say
I'm gonna love you
Oh baby

I'm down on my knees
And I'm beggin' you please
Ah

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,

I love you, I love you

Come on home, come on home baby, come on home baby, come on home baby, to me.

Sometimes we know
Sometimes we don't
Sometimes we give
And sometimes we won't

Sometimes we're strong
And sometimes we're wrong
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we cry

Sometimes it's bad
When the going gets tough
and we look in the mirror
and we wanna give up

Sometimes you know leave it
Want to try
Sometimes we cry

Well we gonna have to sit down
And think it through
Yeah, if we only hear them
What more can we do

The only thing to do
Is eat humble of pie
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we cry

For they put me in a jacket (For they put me in a jacket)
Take me away (Take me away)
I ain't gonna fake it (I ain't gonna fake it)
Not like Johny Ray ( Not like Johny Ray)

Sometimes we live (Sometimes we live)
Sometimes we die (Sometimes we die)
Sometimes we cry (Sometimes we cry)

Sometimes we can't (Sometimes we can't)
See everything straight (See everything straight)
Sometimes everybody ( Sometimes everybody)
Is on the make (Is on the make)
Sometimes we cry (Sometimes we cry)

For they put me in a jacket (For they put me in a jacket)
Take me away (Take me away)
I ain't gonna fake it (I ain't gonna fake it)
Not like Johny Rain ( Not like Johny Rain)

Sometimes we live (Sometimes we live)
Sometimes we die (Sometimes we die)
Sometimes we cry (Sometimes we cry)

Sometimes we live (Sometimes we live)
Sometimes we die (Sometimes we die)
Sometimes we cry (Sometimes we cry)

(There we go) Sometimes we live (Sometimes we live)
Sometimes we die (Sometimes we die)
Sometimes we cry

Sometimes we live (Sometimes we live)
Sometimes we die (Sometimes we die)
Sometimes we cry (Sometimes we cry)

(Lust for life x 3)
Here comes Johnny in again
With liquor and drugs
And a flash machine
He's gonna do another strip tease
Ah, hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I bought the gimmick
About something called love
Yeah, something called love
Well, that's like hypnotising chickens
I'm just a modern guy
Huh, of course, I've had it in the ear before
I have a lust for life
Cause I've a lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
Lust for life
Lust for life
I'm worth a million in prizes
With my torture film
Drive a GTO
I wear a uniform
On a government loan
I'm worth a million in prizes
Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk
No more beating my brains
No more beating my brains
With liquor and drugs
With liquor and drugs
Ooh, I'm just a modern guy
Huh, of course, I've had it in the ear before
And I've a lust for life (lust for life)
Cause I've a lust for life (lust for life)
A lust for life (ooh)
A lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
I got a lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
Ah a lust for life

And I've a lust for life (lust for life)
Cause I've a lust for life (lust for life)
A lust for life (ooh)
Lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
Lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)

Lust for life (ooh)

A lust for life

Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag,
Got to find just the kind or I'm losin' my mind

Out of sight in the night out of sight in the day,
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way.

Out of sight in the night out of sight in the day,
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way.

Lookin' back

Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind!

Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind, yeah!

Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag,
Got to find just the kind or I'm losin' my mind

Out of sight in the night out of sight in the day,
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way.

Lookin' back on the track for a little little green bag,
Got to find just the kind or I'm losin' my mind,

Alright.

Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind.

Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind.

Pa pa pa pa pa pa....

I know the desert can't hold all the love
that I feel in my heart for you, yeah
If I could spread it out across the sea
I know my love would cork it up
Ain't that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you are, Baby
They would seal up their honey comb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Ain't that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet
Honey, you're my every need
You got a smile so rare
A love like yours I just can't compare
Ain't that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldn't need a fire
I can't think of a word that describes your love better
Than the sky above
Ain't that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Yeah
Ain't that a lot of love
Ain't that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love
Ain't that a lot of love
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love
Ain't that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Oh that's a lot of love
Lot of love
Sounds like a lot of love
Sounds like a lot of love
For one heart to hold
For one heart to hold

I can't help the way I feel
Things you do don't seem so real
Tell me what you got in mind
'Cause we're runnin' out of time
Won't you ever set me free
This waitin' 'round is killin' me

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself

I can't get any rest
People say I'm obsessed
Everything you say is lies
But to me there's no surprise
What I have, I knew was true
Things go wrong, they always do

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself, no

She drives me crazy
Like no one else

I won't make it on my own
No one likes to be alone

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
I can't help myself

She drives me crazy
Drives me crazy
Like no one else
You know she drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
Oh myself

She drives me crazy, oh yes
Like no one else, no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself

Natalie Imbruglia:
Don't ask me
What you know is true
I don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

Tom Jones:
I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided

Both:
And they could never tear us apart

Jones:
We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

Imbruglia:
I told you
Mm, that we could fly
Because we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

Jones:
I
I was standing

Imbruglia:
You were there
Two worlds collided

Both:
And they could never, ever tear us apart

I (Don't ask me)
I was standing (You know it's true)
You were there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (Come shining through)
And they could never tear us apart

You don't ask me (You were standing)
You know it's true (Mm, I was standing)
Two worlds collided (Two worlds collided)
Were shining through
And they could never tear us apart

I (Don't ask me)
I was standing (You know it's true)
You were there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (Come shining through)
And they could never tear us apart

I really can't stay
But baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away
Ah, baby, it's cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Oh beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more
Why don't you put some records on while I pour
The neighbours might think
Oh baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink
There's no cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurting my pride
I really can't stay
Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
I simply must go
Oh, baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
You know it's cold outside
This welcome has been
I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
Oh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Like waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Eww, your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home
Ah, baby, you would freeze out there
Say, lend me a comb
You know it's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see
How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Making my life long sorrow
At least there will plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that old out
Ah but it's cold outside

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long, long way from home
A long, long way from home

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
And I know my time's not long
I know that my time, it's not long

Sometimes I feel like I'm heaven bound
Sometimes I feel like I'm heaven bound
Sometimes I feel like I'm heaven bound
And I wear a golden crown
I wear a golden crown

Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire
Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire
Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire
And I'm about to die
And I'm about to die

I'm about to die
I'm about to die
I'm about to die
I'm about to die
I'm about to die

I ain't got nobody to love me
I ain't got nobody to hold me
I ain't got nobody to squeeze me
I'm just a motherless child
I'm just like a motherless child
