There must have been a lot of heartacheFor you to sink so low.You must have had a ton of pressure.Only answer if the answer's no. I need loving, you need loving too.Doesn't take a lot to get off the ground. There must have been a lot of magicWhen the world was born.Let me be the one you wish for,One you call for, when you're all alone. I need loving, you need loving too.Wouldn't take a lot to get off the ground. Off the ground, off the ground.Fly around, fly around.Hear the sound, hear the sound.Off the ground, off the ground. Though it takes a lot of powerTo make a big tree grow.It doesn't need a pot of knowledge,For a seed knows what a seed must know. You need loving, I need loving too.Doesn't take a lot to get off the ground. Off the ground, off the ground.Fly around, fly around.Hear the sound, hear the sound.Off the ground, off the ground. Hear the sound, hear the sound.Off the ground, off the ground.Yeah yeah, off the ground.

I saw a cat with a machine in his brain The man who fed him said He didn't feel any pain I'd like to see that man take out that machine And stick it in his own brain You know what I mean I saw a rabbit with its eyes full of tears The lab that owned her had Been doing it for years Why don't we make them pay for every last eye That couldn't cry its own tears Do you know what I mean When I tell you that we'll all be Looking for changes Changes in the way we treat our fellow creatures And we will learn how to grow Well I tell you that we'll all be Looking for changes Changes in the way we treat our fellow creatures And we will learn how to grow When we're looking for changes I saw a monkey that was learning to choke A guy beside him gave him cigarettes to smoke And every time that monkey started to cough The bastard laughed his head off Do you know what I mean? When I tell you that we'll all be Looking for changes Changes in the way we treat our fellow creatures And we will learn how to grow When we're looking for changes We're looking for changes We're looking for changes We're looking for changes in the way we are

She saidCome in my dear,You're looking tired tonight.Your bath is drawn, let me loosen your tieAnd fix you your usual drink. He settles back,Takes a magazine,Kicks off his shoes, as he studies the formOf every appealing soubrette.But where are the flowers that he used to bring? Every endearing remarkReminds her of passionarte promises,That he only made in the dark. In her bed,She wants to shout at the back of his headLook at me, look at me, look at me I'm afraidSee what it's come to, I'm just your mistress and maid. The wine is warmBut the dinner is cold.The look in his eye tells her it won't be long'till the girls on the page come to life.And they'll get the flowers that he used to bringWith every endearing remark,And all of the passionate promisesHe'll never fulfil in the dark. In their bed,She wants to shout at the back of his headLook at me, look at me, now that I'm not afraid.See what it's come to,I'm not your mistress and maid. See what it's come to, I'm not your Mistress and Maid.

Last night you helped me through,Took me to the lover zone.I saw there, imagesProjected on a wall of stone.I stood inside Egyptian temples,I looked into eternal gardens, Lay on the shores of distant islands,Listening to the sea birds song of joy. Oh - I owe it all to you,You make me happy,Oh - I owe it all to you. Last night, we were rightInto some exotic scene.Everywhere, imagesAppearing on a gigant screen.I stood inside a glass cathedral,I looked into the golden canyon,Lay by the lakes of holy waterGlistening lika a diamond in the light. Oh - I owe it all to you,You make me happy,Oh - I owe it all to you.

I have always needed somebody girl,But I close the doors to keep out the world.But for you, I would be here all alone,Locked in a photograph.All of the clocks have run down.Lover bewareWe'll be the lovers that never were. I hang patiently on every word you send.Will we ever be much more than just friends?As for you, you sit there playing this game.You keep me waitingWhen all of the clocks have run down,All over the world.We'll be the lovers that never were. For as long as the sun shines in somebody's eyesI believe in you baby, so don't tell me lies.For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves,I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams. And I know dear, how much its gonna hurt,If you still refuse to get your hands dirty.So you, must tell me something, I love you, Say goodbye or anything.All of the clocks have run down,Time's at an end,If we can't be lovers we'll never be friends. For as long as the sun shines in somebody's eyesI believe in you baby, so don't tell me lies.For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves,I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams.
