I'd be the last one to tell you that you shouldn't go
And the first to say be happy if you can
But you lie and hurt someone who needs and loves you so
Do you mind too much if I don't understand

I suppose that you're convinced this is the thing to do
Life is short and sweet break all the hearts you can
I guess I shouldn't be surprised it's all a game to you
But do you mind too much if I don't understand

Forgive me but it all seems so unreal to me
And my heart and me we'd made so many plans
But that's all over now there's nothing left to do
But do you mind too much if I don't understand

Do you mind too much if I don't understand


. . .



I fell too hard and much too deep in love with you
I let you come and go at will it seems
You're back again this time you say forever
But I wonder just how long forever means
How long is forever this time
How long until one night you don't come home again
How long is forever this time how long until I'm all alone again

People say I'm foolish when I take you back
And it could be they're right but who can say
You'll be welcome here within my arms forever
Even when forever ends for me today
How long is forever this time...


. . .



(feat. Toots Hibbert)

(Johnny Cash)

Worried man worried man I'm a weary worried man
Hungry babies don't understand papa is a worried man

The place I used to draw my pay slammed the door on me today
And told me just to stay away and no come back again
I went back home to bring the news my woman saw that I had the blues
But she said the babies need new shoes and I'm a worried man

Worried man worried man...

[Guitar]

Well there is no way that I can see that I can feed my family
Cause I don't own no money tree and very little lam
But I said mama don't you cry I'll get a job up fore the day's gone by
I don't know where though and that is why I'm a worried man

Worried man worried man...
Worried man worried man...

[Originally from The Harder They Come soundtrack]

Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all

Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done

Lyrics'Cause as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all

And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all


. . .



You're wondering just what I'll do now that it's over and done
Well that's something to think about and I've already begun
I suppose that I'll find a way people usually do
But it's something to think about I'll be lost without you

One thing I would have you do please consider the dawn
The dawn of your lonely years when youth and beauty are gone
And when you can no longer have any sweetheart you choose
Here is something to think about I'll still be thinking of you
One thing I would have you do...

[Originally from The Harder They Come soundtrack]

Sitting here in limbo, but I know it won't be long
Sitting here in limbo, like a bird without a song
Well, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on

Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the dice to roll
Sitting here in limbo, got some time to search my soul
Well, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on

I don't know where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is passed and gone
This little boy is moving on
Lyrics
Sitting here in limbo waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo knowing that I have to go
Well, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on

I don't know where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is passed and gone
This little boy is moving on

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo knowing that I have to go
Well, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on

Sitting in limbo, sitting in limbo
Sitting in limbo, sitting in limbo
Sitting in limbo, sitting in limbo
Sitting in limbo limbo limbo...

The morning that you left me was just another day
How could I see the sorrow that had found me
Then you left and told me that I was in your way
And I turned and ran as heaven fell around me
I stumbled through the darkness my footsteps were unsure
I live within a world that had no sunshine
When you left me darling my world came to an end
And there was darkness on the face of the earth
The stars fell out of heaven and the moon could not be found
The sun was in a million pieces scattered all around
Why did you ever leave me you knew how it would hurt
And now there's darkness on the face of the earth

[ guitar ]

The stars fell out of heaven...
And now there's darkness on the face of the earth

. . .


If you can truthfully say that
You've been true just one day
Well that makes one in a row
One in a row, one in a row
And if you can look into my eyes
One time without telling lies
Well that makes one in a row
One in a row, one in a row
Why do I keep loving you after all
The things you do
And just one time come into my arms
And be glad that you're in my arms
That will make one in a row
One in a row, one in a row
Why do I keep lovin' you...
One in a row, one in a row

. . .



The sun just went behind a cloud
There's darkness all around me now
For I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in
I broke her heart so many times
That now at last I've broken mine
And I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in

What made me think that I could go on hurting her
I should have known there'd have to be an end
But fools in love are taught by fate,
They never learn till it's too late
And I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in
[Repeat]


. . .


You tell me today that you're leaving
But just think a while
I'm sure that you must know
Today might be the day that you walk away
But you left me a long, long time ago

Today's just the day that ends it all
Except the usual mem'ries
That always linger on
And today might be the day that you walk away
But you left me a long, long time ago

I stood with helpless hands
And watched me lose your love
A little more each day
Then it was gone
And I kept wond'rin'
Just how long until this day would come
Just how long could your pride keep hangin' on

So please don't say you're sorry
Don't say anything
Don't try to say why you must leave
Just go
And today might be the day that you walk away
But you left me a long, long time ago

. . .



I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.
This must be the place called paradise.
You are so precious to me,
What a special time within our lives.
And I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.

A thousand times I see you
And a thousand times you take my breath away.
Fears and doubts consume me and I'm afraid someone will take it all away.
I hope we're here forever, but I guess it's time that we both realized.
That I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.

I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.
This must be the place called paradise.
You are so precious to me,
What a special time within our lives.
And I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.

A thousand times I see you
And a thousand times you take my breath away.
Fears and doubts consume me and I'm afraid someone will take it all away.
I hope we're here forever, but I guess it's time that we both realized.
That I guess I've come to live here in your eyes.

If you can't say you love me say you hate me
And that you regret each time you held me tight
If you can't be mine forever then forsake me
If you can't undo the wrong undo the right
It was right when you loved me only
But wrong when you held another tight
So before you go away and leave me lonely
If you can't undo the wrong undo the right
It's too late to say your heart is filled with sorrow
You can't undo what's done why do you try
So please help me to face the new tomorrows
If you can't undo the wrong undo the right

[ guitar ]

It's too late to say your heart...
