Looking Good

You know you’re looking good,
You know you’re looking fine,
So good I’m glad I made you mine.
You are the perfect fit,
For me, I must admit.
I think I’ll take that as a sign.
Where do you get that style?
And that bewitching smile?
So glad you’re mine and here to stay!
Friends say you’re looking good,
They say it all the time.
So good that it should be a crime.
You know you’re looking good,
Best in the neighborhood,
How come you’re always so sublime?
Where do you get that style?
With that bewitching smile?
So glad you’re mine and here to stay! (Hey)
Back when we first met, seems I could not forget.
The way my heart filled with desire.
Ever since that day, you had this certain way,
I had to stand back and admire.
You know you’re looking good,
I know it’s understood,
You know you’re way too good for me.
How can you look so bright?
When nothing else seems right?
It makes me happy don’t you see? (He)

Just Fooling Around

You’re never too young to learn,
You’re never too old to fool around.
No matter which way I turn,
Amazing how dire the bad news sounds.
It’s only magic when you don’t know how it’s done,
So Drink up all the good times, let’s have fun.
Just Fooling Around.
I met up with a friend of mine,
Didn’t recognize him all that much at first.
Said he’d fallen on some real hard times,
Now he feels like his life is all but cursed.
A little bit of humor, goes a long, long way.
I’m not trying to preach, I’m trying to say,
Keep fooling around.
Waiting for the answer, which sometimes isn’t clear,
Maybe we should hold on to what’s dear.
Keep fooling around.
See the lady standing over there?
She’s looking at us with those big blue eyes.
Well, she used to be a girl of mine,
Before we both had said our last goodbyes.
The truth is in the story, it wasn’t something wild,
In fact the way we ended makes us smile,
We’re just fooling around.

Not What I Used To Be
02:17

Just like a ship that’s far from shore I’m lost today.
And I’m not where I used to be, no I’m not where I used to be.
The skies are dark, the wind is blowing rain my way,
And I’m not what you used to see, no I’m not what you used to see.
When this summer shower is through,
I will hope for fair winds, you should too.
The thunder claps, the lightning strikes out in the sea,
And I’m not what I used to be, no I’m not what I used to be.
Time to head for safer shores, I know
I will pray for clear skies, and nothing more.
The daylight’s gone and now the fog has come to me,
And I’m not what I used to be, no I’m not what I used to be.

Keep On Believing

Just when it’s hopeless, and you think there’s nothing left to do.
Keep on believing. It will happen if you want it to!
Every way, every day.
Keep on believing in yourself; it’s gonna come true.
You’ve got that feeling and it’s building up inside of you,
(Keep on believing, keep on believing)
You know you’re smart enough at making all your dreams come true.
(Keep on believing, keep on believing)
Every way, every day,
Keep on believing in yourself; it’s gonna come true.
You know what to do, you know what to do to make a start.
Keep that hope alive, keep that hope alive and in your heart! In your heart, there!
They all had warned you that it’s something really hard to do.
(Keep on believing, keep on believing)
You may have gotten lots of no’s but that’s not stopping you.
(Keep on believing, keep on believing)
Every way, every day,
Keep on believing in yourself; it’s gonna come true.
You know what to do, you know what to do to make a start.
Keep that hope alive, keep that hope alive and in your heart! In your heart,keep it in your heart now!
It’s said the lucky people always seem to work the hardest.
(Keep on believing, keep on believing)
It’s such a long way to go, but you’ve seem to come the farthest.
(Keep on believing, keep on believing)
Every way, every day,
Keep on believing in yourself; it’s gonna come true.

End Of Summer
02:44
|
|||
|
Well I’m working at the car wash with the high school guys.
Because I’m so much older now they think I am wise.
The girls all look at me like I’m someone’s dad.
From where I sit that’s got to be bad.
It’s the end of summer, ooh.
It’s the end of summer, ooh.
Have a beater of a car and it barely will run.
Got my surfboard on the roof so I’m still having fun.
You can call me loser, I really don’t care.
Even though it’s true I’m losing my hair.
It’s the end of summer, ooh.
It’s the end of summer, ooh.
Maybe I should grow up but then staying young is cool. (I really don’t know, I really don’t care)
Some may think I’m immature and acting like a fool.
Well I’m sitting on the beach as the sun goes down.
Well it seems to be a metaphor for life I’ve found.
Don’t really want to go but I really can’t stay,
It’s getting near the end of the day.
It’s the end of summer, ooh.
It’s the end of summer, ooh.
Maybe I should grow up but then staying young is cool.
Some may think I’m immature and acting like a fool.
It’s the end of summer, ooh.
It’s the end of summer, ooh.
