I DON’T WANNA BE THE ONE
By
Bee Gees
***************
It’s too late to turn back now
There ain’t no space back there
And how did I begin to lose my self control
How did I begin to lose my self control
There ain’t a thing that you could give me
With the love forever with me
That’s the only thing that satisfies my soul
That’s the only thing that satisfies my soul
I don’t wanna be the one
Remember it was only fun
Two strangers touching in the sun, it had to end
I don’t wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry
You know as well as I know , you’re my only friend
There ain’t a thing that you could give me
With the love forever with me
That’s the only thing that satisfies my soul
That’s the only thing that satisfies my soul
I don’t wanna be the one
Remember it was only fun
Two strangers touching in the sun, it had to end
I don’t wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry
You know as well as I know ,you’re my only friend
I don’t wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry
You know as well as I know you’re my only friend
You know as well as I know you’re my only friend
You’re my only friend
My only friend
My only friend
BIG CHANCE
***************
People in their pride believe it’s easier for them to leave
their problems in the arms of others , running to their mothers
Lasting love is such a funny thing
When you’re in love you’re on the wings
You’re not in love, it’s good for you
’cause you can do the things you want to do
It’s you big chance , to take it baby
It’s you big chance , you’ll make it baby
When you’re high and mighty you’ll remember how I loved you
You’ll be thinkin’ how you hurt me when I needed you beside me
In the night is such a lonely time
I dream of you and that’s a sign
It means that I am still a fool
And I am still so much in love with you
It’s your big chance, so take it baby
It’s your big chance, don’t fake it baby
Big chance
Hot chance
DOGS
***************
I was hungry and I was cold , had a father far too old
Couldn’t make it to the place he’d like to be
In a treetrunk in the park , he was living in the dark
Keeping other dogs like him for company
In the evening I’d go down to a nightclub in the town
Try to get some bread to make another way
Back to the park I’d go , dig him out of the snow
You know he’s lived a thousand years day to day
Well , the days get shorter and the nights get longer
And you never learn to know
If you love one another , could you look at each other
Could it ever really show
And at this moment in time you couldn’t make up your mind
Now could you ever understand
Are you following me just like Moses to the sea
Do you think I’ll give you freedom in the end
When I’m long dead and gone will your love for me go on
Will I be the one you run to in the end
And all my dogs need a friend
It was a quarter to three in the summer of ’73
When I heard somebody call outside my door
Said “Are you friend or are you foe”
He looked up and he said “no, but I’d like to come inside and know you more”
Well the days get shorter and the nights get longer
And you never learn to know
If you love one another , could you look at each other
Could it ever really show
And at this moment in time you couldn’t make up your mind
Now could you ever understand
Are you following me just like Moses to the sea
Do you think I’ll give you freedom in the end
When I’m long dead and gone will your love for me go on
Will I be the one you run to in the end
And all my dogs need a friend
Need a friend
Need a friend
TOKYO NIGHTS
***************
You’re crossing the water
for eastern delights,
’cause now that you’re gone
I feel like a stranger in New York tonight.
And the rhythm was new to me,
Tokyo nights
well she came in the night,
and she came in the night.
And the vision was true to me,
Tokyo nights.
Well she came for the moment
and stayed till the end wee ah.
Take me to Tokyo.
ooh wee ah.
Take me to Tokyo.
I was lonely in western days
Tokyo nights
Well she took me away, by saving life
I was down in the rising sun
Tokyo night
Well I came for the moment, and
Stayed till the end. (ooh)
Take me to Tokyo.
ooh wee ah.
Take me to Tokyo.
I am calling you,
Take me to Tokyo,
ooh wee ah.
Take me to Tokyo.
ooh wee ah.
MELODY FAIR
***************
Who is the girl with the crying face looking at millions of signs?
She knows that life is a running race,
Her face shouldn’t show any line.
Melody Fair won’t you comb your hair? You can be beautiful too.
Melody Fair , remember you’re only a woman .
Melody Fair, remember you’re only a girl. Ah…
Who is the girl at the window pane, watching the rain falling down?
Melody, life isn’t like the rain ; its just like a merry go round.
Melody Fair won’t you comb your hair? You can be beautiful too.
Melody Fair, remember you’re only a woman.
Melody Fair, remember you’re only a girl. Ah…
Who is the girl with the crying face, looking at millions of signs?
She knows that life is a running race.
Her face shouldn’t show any lines.
Melody Fair won’t you comb your hair? You can be beautiful too.
Melody Fair , remember you’re only a woman.
Melody Fair, remember you’re only a girl. Ah ….
ALIVE
***************
Maybe you talk too high, man.
Maybe I talk too slow.
But you’ve got to live a little bit faster
’cause you’ve got a little less time to go.
I ain’t lost and I ain’t searching.
But then you know me very well.
And I can’t change the wind and make it blow the other way.
I’m a fool and I can tell .
That I’m alive and that’s all.
That I can get up just as fast as I fall.
And I can walk and run but I’ll never crawl.
And in the end it doesn’t matter at all.
I don’t know about the people that I read about in books.
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks.
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can’t arrive .
There’s a reason for believing that I’ve never been alive , alive.
I ain’t lost and I ain’t searching.
But then you know me very well.
And I can’t change the world and make it go the other way.
I’m a fool and I can tell.
That I’m alive and that’s all .
That I can get up just as fast as I fall.
And I can walk and run but I’ll never crawl.
And in the end it doesn’t matter at all.
I don’t know about those people that I read about in books.
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks.
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can’t arrive.
There’s a reason for believing that I’ve never been alive.
I know I should be going somewhere I just can’t arrive.
There’s a reason for believing that I’ve never been alive, alive, alive.
