Hey, lady, you, lady, cursing at your life You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife I've no doubt you dream about The things you'll never do But I wish someone ever talked to me Like I wanna talk to you I've been to Georgia and California And anywhere I could run I took the hand of a preacher man And we made love in the sun But I ran out of places and friendly faces Because I had to be free I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me Please, lady, please, lady, don't just walk away 'Cause I have this need to tell you Why I'm all alone today I can see so much of me Still living in your eyes Want to share a part of a weary heart That has lived a million lives Oh, I've been to Niece, and the isle of Greece While I sipped champagne on a yacht I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo And showed them what I've got I've been undressed by Kings And I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me Sometimes I feel like crying for unborn children That might have made me complete I took the sweet life And never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring That costs too much to be free I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

I like the sound of the rain coming down When we love, when we love And I like the tic and the tac of the clock When we love, when we love I like the radio playing the music low It makes me glow, yes, it does I like whispers in size and in few ask me why It's because, it's because Love has its own rhythm, love has its own rhythm Love has its own rhythm, yes, it does And I like the beat of the sweat rhythm of love I like it all, share a song against the wall Making love, making love And I like the way the DJ likes to say Be in love, be in love I like the tone when you take off the ( ... ) ( ... ) making love And I like the part when I refuse your heart Just because, just because Love has its own rhythm, love has its own rhythm Love has its own rhythm, yes, it does And I like the beat of the sweat rhythm of love Love has its own rhythm, love has its own rhythm Yes, it does, yes, it does Love has its own rhythm, love has its own rhythm Love has its own rhythm, yes, it does Love has its own rhythm, love has its own...

red light, green light Speedin' through the dark night Drivin' through the poundin' rain I gotta see Jane Windshield wipers splishin' splashin' Callin' out her name Just gotta see Jane I left her arms to find my way To find a place for me In the world outside I wasn't alive I could not survive The frantic pace, the constant chase To win the race Turned my heart cold inside I've gotta find What I left behind Red light, green light Speedin' through the dark night Drivin' through the poundin' rain I gotta see Jane Freeway, bi-way tearin' up the highway Runnin' from a world insane Just gotta see Jane A town of steel that isn't real It could not feel What's in the heart of me I was so alone In a world of stone I missed her arms That once held me That made me see I was the lonely one Without her there I was runnin' scared And I can feel the touch of time Turning the wheel of life to yesterday When love and happiness were mine I gotta find that world of Jane and me Like it used to be Her love for me I pushed aside Walked out alone To face the world turned cold Although I tried... Could not survive The frantic pace, the constant chase To win the race It's not a part of me I gotta find what I left behind Oh I gotta see Jane Oh I gotta see Jane

You were sun, I was sky And you gently moved into me And your light came Shining through me To the darkness inside You were touch, I was feel And the love just eased between us As though time had never seen us When you're up that high Then say goodbye [Chorus:] It ain't easy coming down No, it ain't easy coming down It was so easy to pretend Our world would never end But suddenly, I found It's coming down You were rain, I was grass And I needed you for growing And my life was overflowing With the feeling of you I was sand, you were sea And you made the tide move faster But the wind was still your master Though you wanted me You must be free [Repeat chorus] Down, down, down, down It ain't easy coming down No, it ain't easy coming down No, it ain't easy coming down No, it ain't easy coming down...

Freddie, be free from the pain Is the world the same Since you have gone away Hey, Freddie I'd go back if I could Life was sure looking good With you here yesterday We're afraid of things That we don't understand Why did you close the show It just began Did you feel that maybe You weren't loved enough Or were you afraid of Being loved too much Freddie, there were Clouds in your mind But we all need some time To learn what we're about Hey, Freddie Dreams don't come ready made If you only had stayed We'd have worked it out I believed it all The things that love can do And you believed in love But not in you No, I never had a Chance to say goodbye Please forgive me But there's something in my eye

Where have they gone All the summers we knew When we owned the sand And a gentle wave or two Where have they gone All the winters we shared When you used to kiss All the snowflakes from my hair Where is the song Our hearts used to sing Like the sound of a symphony Like the breathless touch of spring Where have they gone (Memories of you) All the vows that we made (Cherished days gone by) Was true love always Only meant for yesterday Where is the song Where is the song Our hearts used to sing Like the sound of a symphony Like the breathless touch of spring Where have they gone (When we were young) All the summers we knew (Days of love gone by) When we owned the sand And a gentle wave or two
