He's been working and slaving his life away
I know he's been working so hard
(yeaaah) I've been working too, baby
(yeaaah) Every day, baby
#01) 

I used to cuss, fuss and boogie all night long
#02)

Cast your dancin' spell my way
I promise to go under it
#03) 

Baby baby, when I saw you, ha, a-ha
For the very first time
I wanted, ha, to love you and leave you behind
Until you put me down, I had won every round
But something hit, hit me all at once (all at once)
Girl, I never thought you could open my nose
#04)

Here, here in the moonlight
Hold me while I sing to you
#05) 

You turned back crying
And called to me
But I just stood there silently
#06)

And when I take his hand
There's no man who could put him down
#07)

Now, your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him, was I?
#08) 

We walked on (yeah yeah)
To my door (sure did)
We walked on to my door
And he stayed a little more
#09)

But if I ever caught you running around
Throwing my money all over the town
#10)

My friends are telling me that he's no good
He isn't treating me the way he should
#11)

There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
#12)

Look at you, baby, look at me
So in love we used to be
But now it's just a memory
#13)

And then I fell in love
With the most wonderful boy in the world
We'd take long walks down by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
We were so very much in love
Then one day he went away
And I thought I'd die, but I didn't
#14)

I'd like to thank the guy
Who wrote the song
#15)

The kids all laugh at his hair
And his funny clothes
And more than once he's gone home
With a bloody nose
He's not like them, and they can't ignore it
So they all hate him for it
#16)

She's nobody's child
The law can't touch her at all
#17) 

In the eyes of the world
I'm a loser just wasting my time
I can't make a dime
#18)

I know that you've been told
It's not fair to tease
So if you come on cold
I'm really gonna freeze
#19)

Just like the desert shows a thirsty man
A green oasis where there's only sand
#20)

Now the song that I find in my heart for you
Every lyric and line I swear is true
The number one song on my personal chart, yeah
#21)

I felt so helpless, what could I do
Remembering all the things we've been through
#22)

Love has problems, I know
But they're problems we'll just have to face, oh yeah
If you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
#23)

You say you're looking for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
#24)

Well, how many years
How many years can the mountain exist?
Yeah, before, before it's washed to the sea, yeah
#25)

TIE-BREAKERS:

Now that it's over
Now that I'm crying
Now that you've shown me
You can't be true
Still I know
I'm gonna miss you
Yes, I'm really gonna miss you
#T1)

Well, the first time that I saw him
He was a-sittin' on a piano stool
I said, "tell me dad, when does the fun begin?"
He just winked his eye and said "man be cool"
#T2)
