I HAVE DECIDED TO JOIN THE AIRFORCE
By
Bee Gees
***************
Mother, I’m going to join the Air Force today.
I don’t care what the neighbors may say,
But I’m going to join the Air Force today.
Mother,I don’t care what my father might think.
Perhaps it’s going to drive him to drink.
But I don’t care what my father might think.
Don’t ask me why, it’s my mind and it’s right.
Don’t ask me why, it’s my mind ,
It’s better, it’s better than being alone,
alone on the ground. Now I find
Mother,I’ve got to join the Air Force you see,
I’ve seen my friends and they all agree
That’s it’s better than joining the army or going to sea
Mother,I’ve go to join the Air Force you see
I’ve seen my friends and they all agree.
That’s it’s better then joining the army or going to sea.
Mother, Mother, Mother.
HOLIDAY
***************
Ooh you’re a holiday , such a holiday
Ooh you’re a holiday , such a holiday
It’s something I thinks worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If not then you’re throwing stones
Throwing stones, throwing stones
Ooh it’s a funny game
Don’t believe that it’s all the same
Can’t think what I’ve just said
Put the soft pillow on my head
Millions of eys can see
Yet why am I so blind
When the someone else is me
It’s unkind, it’s unkind
de de de de de de de de de de de de de
de de de de de de de de de de de de de
Yet millions of eyes can see
Yet why am I so blind
When the someone else is me
It’s unkind, it’s unkind
Ooh you’re a holiday , ev’ry day , such a holiday
Now it’s my turn to say , and I say you’re a holiday
It’s something I thinks worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If now then you’re throwing stones
Throwing stones , throwing stones
de de de de de de de de de de de de de de
SWEETHEART
***************
If your heart tells you so that you should leave me
Don’t try to forget , you and I never met
And before you fly, one kiss should tell me why
You’ve forgotten all the words that you once said
Long as I’ve got you there beside me
Long as you’re there to stand and guide me
The love we share no one can ever tear apart
Long as I’ve got this life I’m living
Long as it’s you the love I’m with then
I’ll keep on calling you sweetheart
If my love for you can’t make you happy
Just open the door and you won’t see my anymore
And before you fly , one kiss should tell me why
You’ve forgotten all the words that you once said
When you said
Long as I’ve got you there beside me
Long as you’re there to stand and guide me
The love we share no one could ever tear apart
Long as I’ve got this life I’m living
Long as it’s you the love I’m with then
I’ll keep on calling you sweetheart
And I’ll keep on calling you sweetheart
I WAS THE CHILD
***************
When I was you we walked to school
And I carried your books ’cause even then I was a fool
But you grew up and said goodbye
I still remember the things that made me cry
For all too soon my story ends
I found a love, now not even friends
Tell me why
loving you , loving me like you used to do
I was the child
I held your hand and I told you things
And I made you believe, believe in fairy tales
and diamond rings
hen all too soon my story ends
I found a love ,now not even friends
Tell me why
loving you , loving me like you used to do
I was the child
Ah …..
IF I CAN’T HAVE YOU
***************
Don’t know why
I’m surviving every lonely day
When there’s got to be
no chance for me
My life would end
and it doesn’t matter how I cry
My tears of love
are a waste of time
if I turn away
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can’t have you
I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can’t have you
I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you, oh oh oh…
Can’t let go
and it doesn’t matter how I try
I gave it all so easily
to you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can’t have you
I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you, oh oh oh oh
If I can’t have you
I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you, oh oh oh…
LET THERE BE LOVE
***************
Let there be love, so I can be loved by you
In Paradise Avenue
Let there be life, so everyone lives to love
Let it happen to me and you
I am a man, so take me for what I am
I’ll never have everything, but let there be love
Let there be love, let there be love
I can be nothing, I can be something
I’ve got to give you my life
I’m tired of living without your giving
I’ve got to get you for my wife
Feeling’s getting stronger
Can’t hold on much longer
I never begged, but I’m begging now
Let there be love, so I can be loved by you
on Paradise Avenue, oh yo
Let there be life, so we can live to love
And let it be both of us
I am a man, so take me for what I am
I’ll never have everything, but let there be love
Let there be love, let there be love
