IT’S MY NEIGHBORHOOD
By
Bee Gees
***************
Don’t get too close to me,
don’t overreact,
you’re not the enemy as a matter of fact,
you got your pretty face and you got any name you wore
gonna stick by you, gonna stumble over what to do.
I want it, good lovin’ wanna be your plaything.
I want it, good lovin’ bring out the beast in me.
I want it, good lovin’ wanna make your heart sing,
in the shadows we are free, and I walk you through it.
It’s my neighborhood,
that’s where I belong.
You’re in trouble if you
disagree with me.
It’s my neighborhood,
that’s where I belong,
you find out why.
It’s my neighborhood,
that’s where I belong.
You’re in trouble if you
disagree with me.
It’s my neighborhood,
that’s where I belong,
you find out why.
So many tell you that you can’t win
It’s a battle if you’re lonely
Or if you’re starting over
Two-fisted and fast on your feet
And you know there’s something more
And the city kicks it out of you and…
I want it, good lovin’ wanna be your plaything.
I want it, good lovin’ bring out the worst in me.
I want it, good lovin’ wanna make your heart sing,
in the shadows we are free, and I walk you through it.
It’s my neighborhood,
that’s where I belong.
You’re in trouble if you
disagree with me.
It’s my neighborhood,
that’s where I belong,
you find out why.
THIS IS WHERE I CAME IN
***************
I’ve seen the story
I’ve read it over once or twice
I said that you say
A little bit of bad advice
I been in trouble
Happened to me all my life
I lie and you lie
And who would get the sharpest knife
You know I shouldn’t be somebody like that
I’m not the kind of man to throw his hat into the ring and
Go down without following through
The day turns into night
Go down without following through
The day turns into night
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
This is just where I came in
Hope rides on
But I’ll go anywhere
Yes, I’ll go anywhere with you
Time has gone
But I’ll go anywhere
Yes, I’ll go anywhere with you
This is the danger zone
This is where I came in
They know not what they do
Forgive them of their sins
They know they cannot take away
What you have given me
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
This is just where I came in
Fade into colour
Colour into black and white
Under the bedclothes
Everything will be alright
I know that you know
Nothing ever stays the same
Said so, I said so
The love will never speak its name
Never gonna find somebody like you
Beauty with a brain and a body too
I could never make a move on a woman that leads me on
She’s got a little bit of something for everyone
It’s a little too late and the wolf is on the run
Hope rides on
But I’ll go anywhere
Yes, I’ll go anywhere with you
Time has gone
But I’ll go anywhere
Yes, I’ll go anywhere with you
I always told myself
I would regret this day
That I would fall apart
And watch you walk away
That you would cry out loud
And I would stand aside
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
This is just where I came in
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
This is just where I came in
I can fly
But I’ll go anywhere
Yes, I’ll go anywhere with you
Time goes by
But I’ll go anywhere
Yes, I’ll go anywhere with you
This is the danger zone
This is where I came in
They know not what they do
Forgive them of their sins
They know they cannot take away
What you have given me
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
This is just where I came in
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
This is just where I came in
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
This is just where I came in
PLAYDOWN
***************
I’m not a ghost , I am a man
I only do the best I can
Believin’ I will find a way
It’s just a price that you must pay
For my friends , they put me down
So I go from town to town
They all say that I’m a clown
They play high and I play
They play high and I play
I play the game , I see the light
I walk in day , you walk in night
Believe me boy, it ain’t no good
In doin’ what you never should
All my friends, they put me down
So I go from town to town
They all say that I’m a clown
They play high and I play down
They play high and I play
nah……
All my friends , they put me down
So I go from town to town
They all say that I’m a clown
They play high and I play down
They play high and I play
IF ONLY I HAD MY MIND ON SOMETHING ELSE
***************
I could be king of kings ; wear a crown and all the things
I’d want I’d never need.
I’d be an ace in an aeroplane and every year I’d fly to Spain.
If I could get the nerve to plant the seed.
Oh, tell me how to say goodbye.
I see her face in myself.
Why, tell me why I made her cry
If only had my mind on something else.
Captain of the submarine beneath the icebergs never seen.
A hero with a medal for ev’ryday.
I find me fame,reach the top.
I keep on pushing never stop.
If I could just forget her name.
If only had my mind on something else.
I WILL
***************
Is this your voice I heard
Speaking’ my name, I hang on every word
Every letter that I write, every day every night
But I just can’t live and learn
Talking to myself and believing
I could live without you
Living on the lies and believing that love would stay
Listen to me please and I’m beggin on my knees before you
But you don’t show the way
No you don’t show the way
He may change your world and someday he may break your heart
And you deserve no better
If you love him I will step aside
I offer this to you
So leave me as I love you still
And if he don’t keep you warm
You know I will, you know I will
So this is who you are
And the rest of my life I dedicate to you
And I know that love can’t wait
There’s a moon and a sun
And a dream that sees me through
A little bit of change and a little bit of my desire
I was shaken all over and I didn’t know what to say
I’m the man in the middle and the middle man catches fire
But I don’t know how to go away
No I don’t know how to go away
He became your hero somehow
I become your clown
And you deserve no better but my love is here
And all I found I offer this to you
So leave me as I love you still
And if he don’t take your heart
You know I will
It ain’t wise, it ain’t smart
You say there’s no doubt about it
If you decide you got somebody else
When I want you to myself
I can’t stop, I can’t look
I can’t say no more about it
But my love will go on
Just as long as the river flows
He will be your king someday
He may let you down
Follow to the letter that my love is real
And what I found I offer it to you
So leave me as I love you still
And if he don’t keep you warm
You know I will
THE CHANCE OF LOVE
***************
You and me we’re both the same
In this life a lonely game
I used to be a happy man
And now I understand just what it’s all about
I never had a doubt on the chance of love
As a boy I lived down here
I always saw you near
To be together was happiness
And I just can’t forget the moment we first kissed
I’d like to try again on the chance of love
Yeah, on the chance of love
I’ll do anything to get you by my side
On the sound of love I will love you girl
You’ll be mine
All the world would then be free
An apple falls from an apple tree
You and I will be together
And you will understand when I take your hand
I’ll open up the door to the chance of love
