Here I am, a black-eyed bird, remaining silent.. I simply watch, your little life from high above.. Wanting to call you, wanting to sing,. Inside your ears and lips and eyes and soul,.
To you. Gonna give it all to you. To you. Gonna give it all to you. . If it's pleasure you want. And it's pleasure I've got. Baby I will give some to you.
I keep walking down the same city streets. The same city lines, to the same lonely beat. People say, Hello, but I don't know what to say. I don't know how I feel, I just can't act that way.
You don't need diamonds or big fancy cars. You say you're happy right where you are. We're bound together by a little gold band. You're my kind of woman, you're my kind of man.
It ain't the clothes that you wear. It ain't the things that you buy. It ain't your house on the hill. It ain't the plane that you fly. . It ain't your black limousine.
Love, love. . You make me feel like a sticky pistil. Leaning into a stamen. You make me feel like a Mister Sunshine. Himself. . You make me feel like splendor in the grass.
Eagle's calling and he's calling your name. Tides are turning, bringing winds of change. Why do I feel this way?. The promise of a new day. . The promise.
Somewhere deep down inside of my heart. Makes me feel things that tear me apart. Got a jealous bone. Got a jealous bone. . Ever since you walked into my life.
Who is this hurting mother?. I don't want to be her now. Who in the hell's that sad reflection?. How did I lose myself?. How many time I walk the river, wondering what life's for.
Who is this hurting mother?. I don't want to be her now. Who in the hell's that sad reflection?. How did I lose myself?. How many time I walk the river, wondering what life's for.
If you think I don't care. Just because I'm not there. Then my love. You had better think again. . And if you think. There's someone new. Who can take the place of you.
Lately I've had my doubts. About the way you feel, yeah. Tell me there is no other love. You see but me. . I've been a good woman to you. Give you sweet love every night.
I'm black on blacker velvet, milk skin and veins. Like some El Greco painting, so full of pain. So full of longing for light of day. . I thought I knew who I was in the world.
Never really felt like I belonged. Just about that time you came along. Led me to expect, your love and your respect. But lately you don't let those feelings show.
Straight up now tell me. Straight up now tell me. Straight up now tell me. Straight up now tell me. . Straight up now tell me. Do you really want to love me forever oh, oh, oh.
Tell me how the story will unfold,. I know you see everything.. Tell me all about the torch and scroll,. I know you know everything.. . So why do you come to me?.
If my heart had windows. You'd see a heart full of love just for you. . A tear may appear when I hold you near. But that's for the sweet things you do.
Straight up now tell me. Straight up now tell me. Straight up now tell me. Straight up now tell me. . Straight up now tell me. Do you really want to love me forever oh, oh, oh.
Lord, make me a lightnin' bolt to burn off this ring. Comin' down, comin' down. Lord, make me a skilsaw to cut through these chains. Comin' down, comin' down.
