The Neverending Connect the Lyrics Game

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here outside your door,
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn,
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn,
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry.
So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down,
So many times, I've played around,
I'll tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll think of you,
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you;
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring.

So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Now the time has come to leave you, one more time let me kiss you,
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come when I won't have to leave alone,
About the time I won't have to say:

Leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again.
Leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again.

GIVE ME A TICKET FOR AN AIROPLANE
I AIN'T GOT TIME TO TAKE NO FAST TRAIN
OH ,THE LONELY DAYS ARE GONE
I'LL BE RIGHT HOME
MY BABY SHE WROTE ME A LETTER

I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH MONEY I GOT TO SPEND
I WON'T FIND MY WAY HOME AGAIN
OH THE LONELY DAYS ARE GONE
I'LL BE RIGHT HOME
MY BABY, SHE WROTE ME A LETTER

SHE WROTE ME A LETTER
SAID SHE COULDN'T LIVE WITH OUT ME NO MORE
LISTEN TO ME MISTER DON'T YOU EVER XXXX
MY BABY ONCE MORE
ANYWAY

GIVE ME A TICKET FOR AN AIROPLANE
I AIN'T GOT TIME TO TAKE NO FAST TRAIN
OH ,THE LONELY DAYS ARE GONE
I'LL BE BACK HOME
MY BABY SHE WROTE ME A LETTER

Good morning mister sunshine, you brighten up my day.
Come sit beside me in your way.
I see you every morning, outside the restaurants,
The music plays so nonchalant.

Lonely days, lonely nights. Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights. Where would I be without my woman?

Good morning mister sunshine, you brighten up my day.
Come sit beside me in your way.

Lonely days, lonely nights. Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights. Where would I be without my woman?

God's away
God's away
God's away on business
on business

(clearly, this Waits lyric fits anywhere)

I will never love you
The cost of love is too dear
But though I'll never love you
I'll stay with you one year
And we can sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then be on our way
And when our year has ended
And I have gone my way
You'll often think about me
And here's what you'll say
We sang in the sunshine
We laughed every day
We sang in the sunshine
Then she went away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she always gone too long anytime she goes away

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, know, know, know, know
I know, I know
Hey I ought to
I ought to leave her alone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Oxford town
Oxford town
Everybody's got their heads bowed down
Sun don't shine above the ground
Hey we're going down to Oxford town
He went down to Oxford town
Guns and clubs followed him down
All because his face was brown
Better get away from Oxford town
Me and my gal my gal son
We got met with a tear gas bomb
Don't even know why we come
Goin back where we come from
Oxford town in the afternoon
Everybody's singing a sorrowful tune
Two men died beneath the Mississippi moon
Somebody better investigate soon

Pardon me, all you people
who enjoy your peace of mind
you say everybody's equal
Everybody is doing fine.
You should've been down in Mississippi
in the summer of sixty-four
if you were down in Mississippi
you wouldn't say that anymore.

Pardon me, Mr.Backlash,
you say you're worried about your home
you say we're going too far too fast
you say you want to be left alone.
*chorus*

Pardon me, Mr.Policeman,
why are you shining up your shield
you say you stand for law and order
you wouldn't do no dirty deals.
*chorus*

Pardon me, Mr. Soldier,
why are you marching down the road
you say you're fighting for your future
and the freedoms that you hold.
*chorus*

Pardon me, Mr. President,
you want your place in history
you say you're doing all you can do
to makle all the people free.
*chorus*

Pardon me, all you people
who enjoy your peace of mind
you say everybody's equal
Everybody is doing fine.
*chorus*

Sunshine came softly through my window today
Could've tripped out easy but I've changed my ways
It'll take time I know it but in a while
You're gonna be mine I know it, we'll do it in style

'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine
Any trick in the book now baby that I can find
Everybody's hustlin' just to have a little scene
You stood on the beach at sunset, do you remember when?
I know a beach where baby it never ends
'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine,
Superman or Green Lantern ain't got nothin' on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for pearls in the sea
Oh you can just sit there thinkin' on your velvet throne
You got all the rainbows you can have for your own
When you've made your mind you're going to be mine

MISSISSIPPI QUEEN
Mountain
(Leslie West)

Mississippi Queen, You know what I mean
Mississippi Queen, She taught me everything
Went down around Dick's place, around Louisiana way
Where lived the Cajun Lady, aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer. She moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine

Mississippi Queen, If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen, She taught me everything
This lady she asked me, if I would be her man
You know that I told her, I'd do what I can
To keep her lookin' pretty, buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes were makin' their friends
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was loosin' mine

You know she was a dancer. She moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine

Yeah, Mississippi Queen

When your mother sends back all your invitations
And your father to your sister he explains
That you're tired of yourself and all of your creations
Won't you come see me Queen Jane
Won't you come see me Queen Jane

Anyone who's ever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
and anyone who's ever played a part
Wouldn't turn around and hate it
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane
Sweet, sweet Jane
You're waiting for Jimmy down in the alley
Waiting there for him to come back home
Waiting down on the corner
and thinking of ways to get back home
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane
Sweet, sweet Jane
Anyone who's ever had a dream
Anyone who's ever played a part
Anyone who's ever been lonely
and anyone who's ever split apart
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane
Sweet, sweet Jane
Heavenly widened roses
seem to whisper to me when you smile
Heavenly widened roses
seem to whisper to me when you smile

Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue
Have you ever loved someone
The way the I love you
If you knew what I've been through
Then you'd know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue

So long, I've been looking too hard, I've been waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find, I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone, when you love someone
It feels so right, so warm and true, I need to know if you feel it too

Maybe I'm wrong, won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong
This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I wanna be sure

I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you, your loving will survive
I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

You're so good, when we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word can say
Only in dreams could it be this way

Why
Why don't they understand
Why lead us by the hand
Why don't they understand
Can it be wrong caring for you
The way I do
It can't be wrong sharing with you
The wanting the caring
And soon we'll walk hand in hand
Then they will understand

If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
Long as I got you by my side
I don't care what your people say


Your friends tell you there's no future
in loving a married man
If I can't see you when I want to
I'll see you when I can
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right

Come to my door baby
Face is clean and shining black as the night
My mother went to answer
You know she was uptight
Now I can understand your tears and your shame
She called you boy instead of your name
When she wouldn't let you inside
When she turned and said But honey he's not our kind
She says I can't see you anymore baby
Can't see you any more
Walk me down to the schoolyard baby
Everybody's acting deaf and blind

That deaf dumb and blind kid
sure plays a mean pinball.

That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
That same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
Down and down I go
Round and around I go
In a spin
Lovin the spin I'm in
Under that old black magic called love
I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm aflame

I got a Black Magic Woman.
I got a Black Magic Woman.
Yes, I got a Black Magic Woman,
She's got me so blind I can't see;
But she's a Black Magic Woman and
she's trying to make a devil out of me.

Don't turn your back on me, baby.
Don't turn your back on me, baby.
Yes, don't turn your back on me, baby,
Don't mess around with your tricks;
Don't turn your back on me, baby,
'cause you might just wake up my magic sticks
