there’s something i need to say (hey yeah yeah)
i’m not sad you’re going away now (hey yeah)
won’t be calling information (no sir-ee)
or waiting at the railway station (whoo whoo)

you walked outta my front door
i wasn’t then, but now i’m sure

i need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you

had to get me to the church on time
say that silly i do, i do nursery rhyme (i do i do i do i do i)
you’ve been bitching at me for a while (yeah yeah yeah)
say hey now baby don’t you cramp my style (uh)

don’t go beating me like that
i’m glad you won’t be coming back

i need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you

don’t go beating me like that
i’m glad you won’t be coming back

i need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you

and the further away from me you are

a little respect

i try to discover
a little something to make me sweeter
oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
i’m so in love with you
i’ll be forever blue
that you give me no reason
why you’re making me work so hard

that you give me no
that you give me no
that you give me no
that you give me no

soul, i hear you calling
oh baby please give a little respect to me

and if i should falter
would you open your arms out to me
we can make love not war
and live at peace in our hearts
i’m so in love with you
i’ll be forever blue
what religion or reason
could drive a man to forsake his lover

don’t you tell me no
don’t you tell me no
don’t you tell me no
don’t you tell me no

soul, i hear you calling
oh baby please give a little respect to me

i’m so in love with you
i’ll be forever blue
that you give me no reason
you know you’re making me work so hard

that you give me no
that you give me no
that you give me no
that you give me no

soul, i hear you calling
oh baby please give a little respect to me

soul, i hear you calling
oh baby please give a little respect to me

in these days of mine for keeps i’m trying to hold on
when suddenly you’re all out of reach & everything goes wrong
what we say & what we do are entirely different things
meaningless straight through the roof it’s not how it should be
easy like a bird i ride the breeze my mind is falling

you’re so ordinary, you’re my sanctuary in the morning darling
new sensation, love vibration, heart to heart & a long goodbye
you go your way, i’ll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this crazy
land of milk & honey life is just an illusion

i just don’t know what to believe in, if the truth be known
suffering from soul fatigue, weathering the storm
what we say & what we do are entirely different things
the whisperings dissolve the room well it’s not how it should be
swaying like a tree i feel the sky somebody calling

you’re so ordinary, be my sanctuary in the morning darling
new sensation, love vibrations, heart to heart & a dumb goodbye
then you go your way, i’ll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this
crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion darling

easy like a bird i ride the breeze my mind is falling

you’re so ordinary, be my sanctuary in the morning darling
new sensation, love vibrations, heart to heart & a long goodbye
you go your way, i’ll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this crazy
mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion

you’re so ordinary, sanctuary, be my one in the morning darling
the new sensation, love vibrations, heart to heart & a dumb goodbye
then you go your way, i’ll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this
crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion

you’re so ordinary, sanctuary, be my light in the morning darling
the new sensation, love vibrations, heart to heart & a long goodbye
then you go your way, i’ll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this
crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion darling

cuts to the quick
pure emotion, a trip
no word of a lie

oo-ah, oo-ah, oo-ah

pressed to your lips
we collide, slowly twist
ardent and lithe

oo-ah, oo-ah, oo-ah

seeps into the ground
kisses the earth and i am found

love’s young dream could be alien
strange ways how we fly
tuning low like a radio
whispering goodbye

alien, wo-ah, alien

just so it seems
softly potent, serene
vacant and shy

oo-ah, oo-ah, oo-ah

you are everywhere
under my skin and in my hair

love’s young dream could be alien
strange ways, how we fly
tuning low like a radio
whispering goodbye

seeps into the ground
kisses the earth and i am found

love’s young dream could be alien
strange ways, how we fly
tuning low like a radio
whispering goodbye

love’s young dream could be alien
strange ways, how we fly
tuning low like a radio
whispering goodbye

love’s young dream could be alien
strange ways, how we fly
tuning low like a radio
whispering goodbye

love’s young dream
could be serene
so alien

as a means of release
pick up my little pieces of heaven
’tis a social disease when i cry
as you head for the door
i want it all, you can take it all leave it

with the light coming in
my desire to give in runs away with me
if i’m not good enough and my love is too much
then forget it
now i am strong carry me home
you can take it or leave it

god help me but forgive my true intention
it hurts me but i’ve nowhere left to run
all this time still falling out of love

as we cut to the thrust
this could well be the year of decision
do you know what i mean
like a song spinning round in my head?
now i am strong carry me home
you can take it or leave it

god help me but forgive my true intention
it hurts me but i’ve nowhere left to run
all this time still falling out of love

i want it all, give me it all
i want it all, give me it all

god help me but forgive my true intention
it hurts me but i’ve nowhere left to run
god help me but forgive my true intention
it hurts me but i’ve nowhere left to run
all this time still falling out of love
all this time still falling out of love
