[Verse 1]
You got me in a corner
You got me against the wall
I got nowhere to go
I got nowhere to fall
Take back your insurance
Baby nothing is guaranteed
Take back your acid rain
Let your TV bleed

[Chorus]
You're jammin' me, you're jammin' me
Quit jammin' me
Baby, you can keep me painted in a corner
You can walk away, but it's not over

[Verse 2]
Take back your angry slander
Take back your pension plan
Take back your ups and downs of your life in raisin-land
Take back Vanessa Redgrave
Take back Joe Piscopo
Take back Eddie Murphy
Give 'em all some place to go

[Chorus]
You're jammin' me, you're jammin' me
Quit jammin' me
Baby, you can keep me painted in a corner
You can walk away, but it's not over

[Bridge]
Take back your Iranian torture
And the Apple in young Steve's eye
Yeah, take back your losing streak
Check your front wheel drive

[Chorus]
You're jammin' me, you're jammin' me
Quit jammin' me

[Verse 3]
Take back Pasadena
Take back El Salvador
Take back that country club
They're trying to build outside my door

[Chorus]
You're jammin' me, you're jammin' me
Quit jammin' me
Baby, you can keep me painted in a corner
You can walk away, but it's not over

[Outro]
Quit jammin' me
Oh, you're jammin' me
You're jammin' me
Quit jammin' me
Oh, you're jammin' me

She's up there all alone
I'm down here changing lanes
Her room was dark and cold
I'm listening to the waves

And I'm depending on time, babe
To get you out of my mind
I guess it's one of those things
You can never explain
Like when an angel cries
Like runaway trains
Like one of those times
That's never the same
Like when something dies
Like runaway trains

She says "I understand
I'm used to being alone
And holding my own hand
I'm stronger than you know"

And I'm depending on time, babe
To get you out of my mind
I guess it's one of those things
You can never explain
Like when an angel cries
Like runaway trains
Like one of those times
That's never the same
Like when something dies
Like runaway trains

Ohh baby
Don't blame me, babe (ohh!)

And I'm depending on time, babe
To get you out of my mind
I guess it's one of those things
You can never explain
Like when an angel cries
Like runaway trains
Like one of those times
That's never the same
Like when something dies
Like runaway trains
(oh!)
(hey!)
(no!)

Well, I wish I had a dollar
For every piece of my broken heart
Yeah, if they gave out a quarter
For every thread of my shattered life

Baby, you'd make me a millionaire
But it wouldn't repair the damage that you've done
The damage that you've done
The damage that you've done to me

Well, I wish I was a bluebird
Honey, I'd just fly away
And look down over my shoulder
At the country down below

Baby, you could make a king, it wouldn't mean a thing
Compare the damage that you've done
The damage that you've done
The damage that you've done to me

Well, I wish I knew you better
Yeah, I wish I was close to you
Then maybe I would understand exactly what I never did do
Honey, what's wrong? What's wrong?
Yeah, I wish you kind of liked me
I wish you'd spare my pain
Why do you want to destroy me, babe?
What did I do wrong?

Baby, I could be a millionaire and I wouldn't care
After the damage that you've done
The damage that you've done
The damage that you've done to me

Honey, you would make me a king, it wouldn't mean a thing
After the damage that you've done
The damage that you've done
The damage that you've done to me

Yes, I'm talking about the damage that you've done
The damage that you've done
The damage that you've done to me

She wore faded jeans and soft black leather
She had eyes so blue they looked like weather
When she needed me, I wasn't around
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out

There were times apart, there were times together
I was pledged to her for worse or better
When it mattered most, I let her down
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out

It'll all work out eventually
Better off with him than here with me

It'll all work out eventually
Maybe better with him than here with me

Now the wind is high and the rain is heavy
And the water's rising in the levee
Still I think of her when the sun goes down
It never goes away, but it all works out

[Verse 1]
They came this morning with a dog on a chain
They came and took my little brother away
His generation never even got a name, oh no
Yeah, my mama  was a rocker way back in '53
Buys them old records that they sell on TV
And I know Chuck Berry wasn't singing that to me , oh no

[Chorus]
Said mama, that's alright
It's your world
Hey, this is my life
She's my girl
My life, your world

[Verse 2]
I watch that fortune wheel, but never get to spin it
You made me promises, I don't think you meant it
If there's some sunshine, baby, I'm gon' get out in it , oh yeah

[Chorus]
Mama, 'cause that's alright
It's your world
Hey, this is my life
She's my girl
My life, your world

[Verse 3]
I tried to leave but the traffic had been stopped
The beach was burning and someone was throwing rocks
They said an aeroplane had fallen on my block, oh yeah

[Chorus]
Mama, that's alright
It's your world
Hey, this is my life
She's my girl
Yeah, my life, your world
My life, your world
My life, your world
My life, your world, oh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, it's my life, your world

Listen, pretty baby, one of these days
Your pretty head's gonna turn my way
Honey, oh baby, you just wait
One of these nights you're gonna call my name

Oh yeah, one of these days
Girl, you better believe
Honey, wait and see
Yeah, you better believe
You're gonna think about me
You're gonna think about me

Your boyfriend's got a big red car
Got a compact disc, got a VCR
I can't do no disco dance
But I can sure love you, baby, if you give me a chance

Oh yeah, one of these days
Girl, you better believe
Honey, wait and see
Yeah, you better believe
You're gonna think about me
You're gonna think about me

I said oh pretty baby, is it something I've said?
Tell me why, little baby
I said, why must you play with my head?

Listen little girl, I said one of these days
Your pretty head's gonna turn my way
One of these days, I know I'm right
You're going to look for me in the middle of the night

Oh yeah, one of these days
Girl, you better believe
Honey, wait and see
Yeah, you better believe
You're gonna think about me
You're gonna think about me
You're gonna think about me
Yea think about me

I'm all mixed up
I'm all mixed up about
All mixed up about you
Yeah, it's having the effect on me
Pulling and directing me
I don't know what I'm gonna do

And no, I can't find no reason
To explain the way that I feel
I remember things being clearer
At one time the things were more real

Honey, I'm all mixed up
I'm all mixed up about
All mixed up about you
Yeah, it's having the effect on me
Pulling and directing me
I don't know what I'm gonna do

Oh, I'm not lookin' for sympathy
Lord, I'm just frightened by this apathy
Like footsteps way in back of me
On a narrow street of stone

I'm all mixed up about you
I'm all mixed up about you

And if time will answer all questions
Then perhaps a film will be shown
Everyone could mail-order tickets
Yeah, you could sell a lot of shirts for the last picture show

Baby, I'm all mixed up
I'm all mixed up about
All mixed up about you
It's like something is testing me
Pulling and directing me
I don't know what I'm gonna do

Honey, I'm all mixed up
I'm all mixed up about
All mixed up about you

If he don't want to talk, leave him alone
If he don't want to talk, leave him alone
He's a self-made man, he did it on his own

Now some folks say there's a dangerous side
Some folks say he's got a dangerous side
He's a self-made man, he knows about pride

So help me, baby, look what love can do
It scares me, baby, does it scare you too?

So help me, baby, look what love can do
It scares me, baby, does it scare you too?

Some folks say it was a woman he knew
Some folks say it was a woman he knew
He's a self-made man, he knows how to lose

So help me, baby, look what love can do
It scares me, baby, does it scare you too?

Well, it can get you in the back, boy
Or you can lie around in roses
Or maybe walk around wondering
You know, going through the motions

Hey, ain't love strange?
Oh, ain't love strange?
Boy, talk about changes
Oh, ain't love strange?

Well, it can make you string barbed-wire
Around your little piece of ground
Yeah, for emotional protection
Oh, but it's too late now

Hey, ain't love strange?
Oh, ain't love strange?
Boy, talk about changes
Oh, ain't love strange?

Some keep trying it
Giving and denying it
And I don't know why it is
I guess you never quit
Trying to make sense of it

Oh, because it can feel like perfection
But never all the time
But you don't want to be alone again
Oh, my, my

Hey, ain't love strange?
Oh, ain't love strange?
Boy, talk about changes
Oh, ain't love strange?

Ain't love strange?
Oh, ain't love strange?
Boy, talk about lonely
Hey, ain't love strange?

There is something, little darling
That I want you to know
I love you, yeah I need you
Every night, everyday goes so slow
How many more days 'til I see you again?
How many more days 'til I see you again?

Yes, I remember you smiling
I remember you feeling mighty fine
I remember your kiss, I remember your touch
I can't get you out of my mind
Little girl, how many more days?
I want to see you again
How long will that take?
I want to see you again

Oh babe can't you see?
I'll be honest with you
Please don't lie, babe, please don't smile
Please don't play around with this heart of mine
Can't you see? It's something I want, babe
It's more than that, it's something I need
Oh little darling, please be truthful
Please be faithful, please come now to me
Oh baby, I need to see you again

Please remember, little lover
I'll give the good to you
Please remember, my little lover
I'll be good to you
But how many more days
'Til I can see you again?
How long will that take me?
I need to see you again
Oh, how many more days?
I need to see you again
Please don't make me wait
I want to see you again

Work twenty years and they'll take care of you
They'll buy you a diamond, they'll send you on a cruise, yeah
Give it all your money, give it all your time
Then wake up one morning and wonder why

Baby I
I've had enough
Let me up
I've had enough

I believe you, baby, I know you wouldn't lie
Like a dog won't bark, like a bird won't fly
Yeah, pretty baby, you're a weapon with eyes
I know what you want, but it's a surprise

Baby I
I've had enough
Let me up
I've had enough

Yeah, yeah, be honest with me
Honey, am I what you thought I would be?

Will you tell me you love me, baby? You be true
I know I believe you, but I don't know why I do
I woke up this morning, there was a car in the drive
I didn't recognize it, baby, who was that guy?

Baby I
I've had enough
Let me up
I've had enough

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I tell you
This is not a question of humility here
I've had enough
Let me up
I've had enough
Let me up
I've had enough
Let me up
I've had enough
I've had enough
