John said love is real. Paul sang how you feel.George said look within and Ringo got help from friend. So we sang along to Beatle songs, yeah yeah yeah. John said love free.Paul sang Let it be. George, here comes the sun. Ringo had a Yellow Sub. We sang along to Beatle songs yeah yeah yeah. When love was new everything was bliss. When love as knew everything was bliss, just like your first kiss. Everything was bliss yes it is. John said give peace a chance. Paul sang of sweet romance.George,sang "My Sweet Lord!" and Ringo nailed it to the floor (like this). We sang along to Beatle songs yeah yeah yeah.

Happy go lucky. That's how love makes you feel.Happy go lucky. That's how you know loves' real. When I was just a little child, my Mama sang to me, "Que sera sera, whatever will be will be" the future's not ours to see, don't you see? Happy go lucky. That's how love makes you feel. Happy go lucky. That's how you know loves' real. My Daddy said to me, when I became a man;"There ain't a woman in this world that you'll ever truly understand. But don't let it get you down. Boy, don't you ever give up. 'Cause there's somebody for everybody, someone worthy of your love. So give her all your love when you find her. Happy go lucky. That's how love makes you feel. Happy go lucky. That's how you know loves' real. "It's not . rocket science." Adam said to Eve. "I will take a bite of your apple. Just tell me, you love me."(and the rest is history) Happy go lucky. That's how love makes you feel. Happy go lucky. That's how you know loves' real.

Every now and then I stop and wonder. Every now and then I stop and wonder why. Why I did the things I did, when I was younger. If had the chance to do it all again. If I knew then, what I know now.Some people say they have no regrets, everything happens for a reason, and if you just give it time, you will understand, that there are no mistakes, everything happens for a reason, and if you just give time, you will understand, it's all part of a plan. It's all part of a plan. In my search for love I blindly wandered. Hoping just to find another fool like me. Many broken hearts along the journey. 'Til at last I found the one that was meant to be. It was you, for me. Serendipity. Some people say they have no regrets, everything happens for a reason, and if you just give it time you will understand, that there are no mistakes, everything happens for a reason, and if you just give it time, you will understand, it's all part of a plan. It's all part of a plan. Serendipity.

Some people can't seem to catch a break. Yeah, you could say I'm one of them. Just when I finally gain some ground, I get knocked down and have to start all over again. Second wind, here I go again. Second wind, here I go again. Second wind, here I go again. Will you be my foe or be my friend? I've never been what you''d call lucky. Not in the right place at the right time. My life 'ain't been no bed of roses. Two wheels bad on an uphill climb. Second wind, here I go again. Second wind, here I go again. Second wind, here I go again. Will you be my foe or be my friend? How many dues must I pay? How many burdens left to bare, before I cross that finish line, i a race that's never fair? Now, you might think it would make me bitter. And there are those it surely would. I don't see the point in being bitter. And besides, it wouldn't do me any good. Second wind, here I go again. Second wind, here I go again. Second wind, here I go again. Will you be my foe, or be my friend? Will you be my second wind?

"Innuendo" 06:18
I left the party feeling somewhat confused. I must admit the things you said got me to thinking. And driving home I wondered if you really knew that what we shared was more than just a one night stand. When you walked in the whole room stop and stared. I wondered why it suddenly got very quiet. And you so elegant, pretended not to care. The center of attention must never seem to notice. Beautiful bird in a gilded cage, longs to fly, but is so afraid. Her wings of freedom have been clipped by fear. But I hear her innuendo loud and clear. When we made eye contact you quickly looked away. Afraid that someone might notice what we share. So we were introduced as familiar strangers, who knew someone, that knew someone we used to know. Beautiful bird in a gilded cage, longs to fly, but is so afraid.Her wings of freedom have been clipped by fear, but I hear her innuendo loud and clear. And even though I had to read between the lines, the message I received was one of desperation. They sat that opoortunity never knocks twice. So we just slipped away while no one else was looking. No one else was looking. Beautiful bird in a golden cage, longs to fly but is so afraid. Her wings of freedom have been clipped by fear. But I hear her innuendo loud and clear.

Mama said "the Golden Rule is the way to live your life". Papa said "keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel". Teacher said "Pay attention boy, study hard, and you'll succeed". Preacher said; "God is love, and love is all you need." So many words of wisdom.So much good advice. How could I go so wrong? Is it too late to get it right? Brother said;'I've got you're back, just as long as you've got mine." Sister says;"Treat you lady right and she'll have you feeling fine" My boss says; "Love this job and you'll never work a day". My kid says: 'You work too much Dad c'mon c'omn,let's play!" So many words of wisdom. So much good advice. How could I go so wrong? Is it too late to get it right? Doctor says:"Eat you veg, exercise, and you'll live long." Barney says: "Obey all rules and boys you can't go wrong." Campbell says: "Follow your bliss and you will find nirvana." If you ask me, you should listen to your Mama. So many words of wisdom.So much good advice. How could I go so wrong? Is it too late to get it right?

They say I only have three minutes to tell you how I feel. Your attention span is way too short, your distractions have more appeal. They say I gotta have a hook that you can't get outtta your head, A driving beat to make you move your feet, and bass to wake the dead. But I don't care, no I don't care, I don't care what they say. I don't care no I don't care, I don't care what they say. They say that love is blind. They say only time will tell.They say that you will break my heart, I say they can go to h.e. double well well well I don't care. I don't care. I don't care what they say.x 2 Gone are the days of melody and poetic verse. We ain't no fools, we use pro-tools and every move is well rehearsed. They said the world was flat. They said "God is dead." They said that global warming is all just inside my head. They say the sky is falling. They always say;"The end is near!" They will tell you anything to get you to live in fear. Oh dear! But I don't care. I don't care. I don't care what they say. x2 The lyrics don't really matter; it's a nonsense, don't you see? Just as long as you can sing along, I'll be done in under three. Yippee!

I don't know! don't know what you want. I don't know! I don't know what you want from me. You say you wanna go out. I say I WANNA STAY HOME. You say you have your doubts. I say YOU'RE NOT ALONE. I say it looks like STORMY WEATHER. You say you want DRIVE MY CAR. I say you're on a ROAD TO NOWHERE. You say, now I've gone too far. I don't know! I don't know what you want. I don't know! I don't know what you want from me. You say, you don't want children.I say, I'd like a baseball team. You say, you need another diamond. I say, in your SWEET DREAMS. You say you need to call your Mother. I say, yeah, YOU'RE MOTHER SHOULD KNOW. You say, she's got it in for you brother. I say, this bird has flown! People say we were made for each other. They've never seen a love so true. But we can't seem to GET IT TOGETHER, no matter what we do. I don't know! I don't know what you want. I don't know! I don't know what you want from me.

"Friend" doesn't mean what it used to anymore. Someone you always go to anytime, open door. Someone who will never judge you, no need to explain. Real enough to bail you out when you've gone insane. To find a friend you gotta reach out, friend. To have a friend, you gotta be a friend. To keep that friend, you better hold on friend, Hold on to that friend. A friend is there through thick and thin. Always on your side, lose or win. Like a rock, steadfast and true. Takes the love you give and gives it back to you. To find a friend you gotta reach out friend. To have a friend you gotta be a friend. To keep that friend you better hold on friend. Hold on to that friend. All those numbers on Facebook don't add up to much. If you're really just keeping score, but out of touch. When you were drowning in the drink, who turned and ran? Who was standing by your side when it hit the fan? That would be your friend.

"I Wish" 06:47
I wish we could just get along. We could be so very strong, you and I. I wish there were no walls between. Just the thought of it is so obscene, it makes me sick. I wish we could find common ground as we spin round and round and round. Don't need no talking heads on tv telling me how I should feel. Don't need the internet to deceive me. Your digital god is not real. I wish we could just realize, open up our eyes, and finally see. I wish for the sake of humanity, 'cause it's up to you and me to make it work. I know to you, I'm just a dreamer. Dreamin' a dream that can't come true. But better a dream, than a nightmare. Not what I wish for; how 'bout you? A familiar voice is calling us across the universe. Telling us it's time to spread the word. We already know what the word is, The word is LOVE! Our only hope. You know it't true. I wish we could just let it be, come together, live in peace. Can you just imagine?
