You, you, you were my first love
You, you were my last
And I was coming on strong, coming on strong,
Coming on strong
I could feel the love, I could feel your love
Coming through your heart
What did you do with your attitude blues
To make you feel alright

They'll make you, they'll break you
They'll put you back together
Again and again and again and again
I don't believe that the price isn't high enough
I just don't believe

There ain't no mountain high enough,
There ain't even a mountain
Just put your hands together
For the sake of sonny's letter
It's a crime, it's a sign, it's a time,
It's a fine, it's your daily dime
So just put your hands together
For God sakes sonny's letter

They'll make you, they'll break you
They'll put you back together
Again and again and again and again

I don't believe that the price isn't high enough
I just don't believe

No I don't believe
I don't believe we can't do the streets

You, you, you were my first love
You, you were my last
And I was coming on strong, coming on strong

They'll make you, they'll break you
They'll put you back together
Again and again and again and again
I don't believe that the price isn't high enough
We don't believe

. . .



My love has taken a tumble
Oh, but I'm still standing
You're such a natural, sing,
That's what you are

Say I wouldn't steer you wrong now baby
I wouldn't steer you wrong

It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try

Didn't I come resisting this sight of wonder
Didn't I come insisting the higher decision
Didn't I come resisting this sight of wonder
To your life

Say I wouldn't steer you wrong now baby
I wouldn't steer you wrong

It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try

Oh, just think of the magic ooh-ooh
Don't think it is tragic, hey hey hey
Just think of the magic

Come on listen

My love has taken a tumble
My love has taken a tumble
My love has taken a tumble
But I'm still standing

It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try

Come on listen
Try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try

Gotta gotta know
I see the sun in your eyes
Let me take your hand
And we'll go to wonderland
Bet you've asked silly questions
Like do I still love you
Better than eating, honey

Cos you're the girl from the east of the river

They all went mad on the way out west end
But we've all bet our bottom dollar
That my archfull flame
Will win you over
Cos I'm the lie
That tells the truth

Cos you're the girl from the east of the river

Where all the grass is greener
And out pockets
Are all paved with gold
Please turn to gold
Please return to old east of the river
But it won't work with nobody but you

Cos you're the girl from the east of the river

. . .



Oh, this time
I'm not gonna let you get away
Oh, this time
I'll find a way to make you stay
When I say I love you
I'm serious,
Coz this time

Oh, this time
I'll make this house a happy home
There's nothing to change about you girl
Coz this time

This time
I won't listen to what my friends say
Oh, this time
Gonna do everything my way
Oh, this time
I'll change my attitude
Oh, this time
I'll make all your dreams come true
This time
I won't stand to see you cry before I leave
Girl you know I'd rather die
When the sun beats through my window
I'll be loving you and you'll be loving me
This time

This time
I won't listen to what my friends say
Oh, this time
Gonna do everything my way
Oh, this time
I'll change my attitude
Oh, this time
I'll make all your dreams come true
This time
I won't stand to see you cry before I leave
Girl you know I'd rather die
When the sun beats through my window
I'll be loving you and you'll be loving me
This time

Oh this time
Oh this time, oh please please stay
Oh this time, oh please please stay

. . .



When the big guns start to shooting
With their bullets of deception
With the smile upon your face
Going from second hand to almost new
Well I try to live life eye to eye
But I say I find it far too tall

Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
Cos you give me, you give me
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation

Sing along, sing along baby
Sing along for the love of the children

And if this was to be true
Say I'd give all the tea in china
And maybe, all the tulips
In amsterdam

Well I try to live life eye to eye
But I say I find it far too tall

Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
Cos you give me, you give me
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation

First you make me move
Until I'm so damn close
Take me back again, take me back again
Say I'm mighty thankful
But it's much too easy
Paying dues and learning vices
But no, but no, but oh no
You won't waste my angry spirit

Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
Cos you give me, give me
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation

I want peace, love and understanding
To last throughout my life

Sing along, sing along baby
Sing along for the love of the children

. . .



Should have known better
I should have known better

How I long for those warm summer nights
Of playing the fool and getting uptight
Crush my precious wish to the ground
You have a sunshine taste of forgive and forget

I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious kiss upon my loving lips
You've touched my heart, my soul and everything
I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious kiss upon my loving lips
Please help me

Looking back at what we had
Say I still want you so much
Loving you for just one reason
Loving you for just one season
Means you're required for desire

I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious kiss upon my loving lips
You've touched my heart, my soul and everything
I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious kiss upon my loving lips
Please help me

Loving you, loving you, loving you
Please, please help me
And I try, and I try, and I try to act naturally

. . .

There're some people
There're some people

Heaven help the child who never had a home
Heaven help the girl who walks the streets alone (walks the streets alone, yeah)
Heaven help the roses when the bombs begin to fall
Lord heaven help us all

Heaven help the black man if he struggles one more day
Heaven help the white man if he turns his back away (turns his back away, yeah)
Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl
Lord heaven help us all

Heaven help us all
Help us all
Heaven help us all
Help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Hear our call when we call
Help us all

Heaven help the child who won't reach twenty-one (won't reach twenty-one)
Heaven help the man who gave that child a gun, bang bang
Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall
Lord heaven help us all
Help us all, yeah, alright, alright

Heaven help us all
Help us all
Heaven help us all
Help us all
Heaven help us all
Hear our call when we call
Where I, where I belong

Now I lay me down before I go to sleep
In these troubled days I pray the lord to keep
Keep hatred from the mighty, and the mighty from the small
Heaven help us all

Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
I need somebody
I need somebody
Help us

Heaven help us all
Help us all
