I try to do what's right for me
But no one sees the way I see
And then I try to please them so
But how far can this pleasing go
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you, I'd change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times
Sometimes I cry 'cause I'm confused
Is this a fact of being used
There is no life for me at all
'Cause I give myself at beck and call
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you, I'd change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times
The life your leading is so dangerous
It's so dangerous, dangerous all
The life your leading is so dangerous
Doggone dangerous, dangerous, dangerous
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
People will cry
If rain or sun
Try to please all
And you've pleased none
But no one sees the way I see
And then I try to please them so
But how far can this pleasing go
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you, I'd change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times
Sometimes I cry 'cause I'm confused
Is this a fact of being used
There is no life for me at all
'Cause I give myself at beck and call
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you, I'd change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times
The life your leading is so dangerous
It's so dangerous, dangerous all
The life your leading is so dangerous
Doggone dangerous, dangerous, dangerous
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
People will cry
If rain or sun
Try to please all
And you've pleased none
Then comes the snow
But after the snow
The flowers will grow
Girl when my life got stormy
You stayed for the ride
You stayed my side
You make the sun shine
Refrain
I'm up again I never let you down
Nothing's ever gonna stop me now
Up again I never let you down

I love you
This Humpty Dumpty's lucky
He's had his fall
But after it all
He brushed himself off
Knowing how much you loved me
I made one more try
I reached for the sky
And I made it this time
Refrain
I'm up again I never let you down
Nothing's ever gonna stop me now
Up again I never let you down
I love you

Always be not always and if always, bow our heads in shame.
Always, please be not always.
And if always, bow our heads in blame.
'Cause time has made promises, just promises.
Faces, did you see their faces?
Did they touch you?
Have you felt such pain?
To have nothing, to dream something, then lose hoping.
Is not life but lame?
But time has made promises, just promises.
Mothers cry, babies die helplessly in arms while rockets fly and research lies in progress to become.
But what of men are flesh and blood?
We turn our backs on life.
How can we claim to stand for peace when the race is armed in strife, destroying life?
Always, be not always.
But if always, bow our heads in shame.
Always, please, be not always.
'Cause if always, bow our heads in blame.
'Cause time has made promises, just promises.
Death promises.
Always, please be not always.
And if always, bow our heads in blame.
'Cause time has made promises, just promises.
Faces, did you see their faces?
Did they touch you?
Have you felt such pain?
To have nothing, to dream something, then lose hoping.
Is not life but lame?
But time has made promises, just promises.
Mothers cry, babies die helplessly in arms while rockets fly and research lies in progress to become.
But what of men are flesh and blood?
We turn our backs on life.
How can we claim to stand for peace when the race is armed in strife, destroying life?
Always, be not always.
But if always, bow our heads in shame.
Always, please, be not always.
'Cause if always, bow our heads in blame.
'Cause time has made promises, just promises.
Death promises.
I don't like it baby
When your stopping me on the floor
'Cause the more I keep on dancin'
The more I keep wanting some more
I don't care what your saying
You're talking in my ear much too loud
And the music's taking my body
On a trip from nine to five
Keep me dancin' all night
All night, all night
Gonna dance up fire
Calling engine number 109
There ain't no chains to hold me
Gonna burn this place down till five
You can't stop this fever
'Cause my temperature is burning hot
And all I want to do is dance, dance
Sweating from my face to my feet
Keep me dancin' all night
Keep me dancin' all night
Keep me dancin' all night
Keep me dancin' all night
When your stopping me on the floor
'Cause the more I keep on dancin'
The more I keep wanting some more
I don't care what your saying
You're talking in my ear much too loud
And the music's taking my body
On a trip from nine to five
Keep me dancin' all night
All night, all night
Gonna dance up fire
Calling engine number 109
There ain't no chains to hold me
Gonna burn this place down till five
You can't stop this fever
'Cause my temperature is burning hot
And all I want to do is dance, dance
Sweating from my face to my feet
Keep me dancin' all night
Keep me dancin' all night
Keep me dancin' all night
Keep me dancin' all night

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me (you've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind and don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go (you've got a place to go)
I used to say
I and me
Now it's us
Now it's we
(I used to say
I and me
now it's us
now it's we)
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as i do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) like Ben
(A friend) Like Ben
We both found what we were looking for

Then Happy came one day, chased my blues away
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Happy, that's you
You made my life brand new
Lost as a little lam was I, till you came in
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
(Till now)
Where have I been?
What lifetime was I in?
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until Happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I said a prayer so silently
Let Sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Till now
Happy, yeah yeah
Happy, oehoe happy
happy oh yeah Happy

Yah tell me lies
It brings me down down
I sacrificed do all I can for you
Then you throw me away
It's hard to figure out
If you want me
If you need me
I just have to wait and see
Alright it's alright
Alright with me
There's nothing you can do
To turn and make me walk away
Alright it's alright
Alright with me
I don't care what people say
I'm gonna love you anyway
Must be love
You misused the person in me
(Yeah, you did)
Like a hand in glove
Always thought how we could be
I can't turn back the times
When you were all mine
Try to love you
Try to please you
I just have to wait and see
Alright it's alright
Alright with me
I don't care what peole say
I'm gonna love you any way
Alright it's alright
Alright with me
