Please return, come back, I've been saving your place
Too much time has elapsed-unreality-memory erases
The rules and the rights and the wrongs don't apply
Far apart - So together is destiny weeded to fate
I write the script, you direct my dreams
We're along on the beach for the passionate scene
And it's a drag to wake up with you ... saying to me
How does it feel to be back in my arms again
I'm bored and alone and it's weakening me
One night out and I'm looking for trouble and finding it's easy
You know we all make mistakes and we all need the touch of a hand
In the right kind of place, in a time of need
I could pick up the phone, but the talk ain't cheap
I pick up on the thoughts that you're sending to me
And i wait for the day I hear you saying to me
How does it feel to be back in my arms again
Got a good education now
And I'm ready for the world (yeah)
We've been going together
It's gonna last forever, it ain't never gonna change
I'm a real hard charger (yeah)
Everybody's gonna listen to me
We're a winning combination, that nobody's gonna rearrange
Big Kids breakin' up 'cause they're lookin' for fun
Everybody's leavin', boy-girl on the run
My situation's static, there's no reason to fear
It's too calm around me and it can't happen here
Big Kids - think they know it all
Big Kids - think they've got the world up against the wall
All the grown-ups show me that they're only Big Kids in disguise
Who do you think your leaders are? Big Kids
Who do you think your heros are? Big Kids
I may never reach maturity but, baby, I'm gonna try
Make an amendment to the constitution
To preserve the state of our union
I stop believing what you say to me
There's a tragic gap in credibility
When the light is gone from your eyes
And re-entry may be denied
Do I want to expatriate
Or live in the united state
Inflationary insecurity
'Cause a love ain't worth as much as it used to be
Clean break, running away
Should I work it out some way
Watch the tress in the wind when it's starting to blow
Is the reason to leave, is it treason to go
Just appeasing you is the wrong thing, I know
Break away!
Don't want to face it but I know that it's time to go home
I cannot say what I want to say when we're alone
I've got to leave but I want to stay
Where you are is so far from the U.S. of A.
When we're more than half a world away
It's so hard to be in love with you
Operator, International 011, oh
Put your love on the line, put your ear to the phone
Maybe it's no longer than a night and a day
But where you are is so far from the U.S. of A.
And it ain't so easy, easy on the heart
It's so hard to be in love with you
My friends wonder why I call you all of the time
What can I say
I don't feel the need to give such secrets away
You think maybe I need help, no, I know that I'm right
I'm just better off not listening to friends' advice
When they insist on knowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they want to know what the reason is
I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist
I go crazy wondering what there is to really see
Did the night just take up your time, 'cause it means more to me
Sometimes I forget what I'm doing, I don't forget what I want
Regret what I've done, regret you? I couldn't go on
And if you insist on knowing my bliss
I'll tell you this
If you want to know what the reason is
I'll only smile when I lie, then I'll tell you this
Oh, no, stop bitching indiscretion
You're such an A-1 lover, since when are you perfection
Never true blue to me, so why are you getting nasty
Well, it's lucky for you that I'm gonna keep dancing
Oh, I know
Everyone you do is perfect
Everyone you know is perfect
Everywhere you go is perfect
So on and so on
But you've gotta lotta nerve when you talk about love
If you've gotta lotta nerve we can talk about love
Oh, you've gotta lotta nerve to be talking about love
Yeah, you gotta lotta nerve 'til we talk about love
Listen to you ... your roots will be showing
Better watch what you say and do
Or da cool you'll be blowing
We're talking 16 tones of nerve-a
We're talking perfect nerve
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it (baby)
But baby, baby I know it
Chorus:
You've lost that loving feeling
Woah, that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Woa-woah
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And girl you're starting to criticise little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying (baby)
'Cause, baby, something beautiful's dying
(Chorus)
Baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find every day
So don't let it slip away
Bring back that loving feeling
Woah, that loving feeling
Bring back that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on
What I want, you've got
And it might be hard to handle
But like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame
What I've got's full stock of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how, I can't explain
But You make my dreams come true
On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with the dreamer
I can laugh it in the face
Twist and shout my way out
And wrape yourself around me
'Cause I ain't the way that you found me
I'll never be the same
'Cause You may my dreams come true
I'm down on the daydream
That sleepwalk should be over by now
I know that You make my dreams come true
Baby, if we can't solve any problems
Why do we lose so many tears?
Oh, so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same theme
But can't you see we've got everything going on and
Everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Go on and go free
Maybe you're too close to me
I can feel your body move
But does it mean that much to me
I can't go on singing the same theme
"Cause you can't see we've got everything
Baby, even though you know that
Everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
You just don't care
My Baby went to Africa
With the dirty lens photographer
My Baby stayin' in jungle land
With a U S body and a real light tan
My Baby went to Africa
With a make-up man and his love-sick lover
She get a couple o' grand and a two-piece suit
Let the folks back home see the native beauty
My Baby went to Africa
Gotta pack my bags and get to her
Before the lions and tigers try to jump on her bones
Look at me, I'm running
Ooh, what have I done
Oh, I must have hurt someone
Dark in subway station
Gimme place to hide
Oh, I hear the Voices deep inside
And the Voice is singing
Diddy Doo Wop Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Diddy Doo Wop
Well, it starts in my head and it ends when I stop
Keep singing Diddy Doo Wop
Charlie liked the Beatles
Sam, he liked Rich Girl
I'm still hung up on the Duke of Earl
Reaching for the handle
Slicing through the air
Oh, the Doo Wop Voices everywhere
Oh, the Duke is singing
Diddy Doo Wop Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Diddy Doo Wop
Well, it starts in my head and it ends when I stop
Diddy Doo Wop
I hear the Voices
How Does It Feel to Be Back
