Like You Mean It

In the beginning it was just for fun
Here comes love, here comes love again
But now you got me runnin’ from sun to sun
Here comes love, here comes love again

Well the funny thing baby is that I don’t mind
Here comes love, here comes love again
‘Cuz don’t you know that a real good thing sure is hard to find
Here comes love, here comes love again

Refrain:
Uh huh uh huh ooh yeah yeah
Whoa oh oh oh oh no no
Uh huh uh huh ooh my my
Here comes love again

So you thought you left the game
But you fallin’ just the same
‘Cuz some things will never change
Here comes love again

Chicken and dumplings that’s all it’s gonna take
Just to make you stay for the ice cream cake
Well you think you don’t want sugar in your tea
But get the right kind of sugar, then we’ll see

Refrain

Well you’re all out of tokens, think you’re out of the game
But a kind soul comes around and buys you right back in
you wanna jump off the train and stay a while in town
As long as the world keeps turnin’ Loves comin’ around

Refrain

Be glad you woke up
Be glad you broke up
Be glad you don’t know what happens next

Be glad you’re walkin’
Be glad you’re talkin’
‘Cuz who knows just what might happen next

Refrain:
It don’t have to be like this or like that
It don’t have to be Any particular way you see
It don’t have to rhyme every time ‘fore we can get to feelin’ fine
But if it do, shibideedoodaday

Just ‘cuz you want it
Don’t mean you’ll get it
Sometimes you just gotta let it go

But if you get it
Still got to let it
Sometimes you just gotta let it go

Refrain

Lovin’ what you left behind
Wonderin’ what you still might find
But you’re never satisfied
’Til you’ve realized

Refrain

I’ve been livin’ in California
And everything’s just fine
But I get a funny funny feeling
Each year about the same time

It’s when the nights get warm
And there’s something sweet that I crave
Nothing they got out here
Really tastes the same

I’m talkin’ bout a
Sweet sweet sweet sweet carolina peach
I want my
Hmm, carolina peach

I’ve got oranges all winter
I’ve got avocados in the spring
Blueberries in July
To make my tastebuds sing

But on the Sunday in the summer
That August breeze won’t let me forget
The one thing from out there
That you just can’t get here

Well it’s been a little while now
Since I first left home
Well you know I’m so tired
So tired of livin’ alone

I’ve been thinkin’ bout my
Hmm, my carolina peach
And I wonder does she still think about me

It’s a funny funny feeling
When you got everything you need
But you just ain’t got
The one thing that you really really want

And it’s a funny funny feeling
When you’ve got everything that you need
And you ain’t got the one thing
That you really really want

Ooh, what a lonesome feeling
When you’re sleeping by yourself
Just a tossin’ and a turnin’

Ooh, what a lonesome feeling
When you don’t really know
What is it that you really really want
But you know you ain’t got the one thing
The one thing that you really really need

My carolina peach
My carolina peach
If I gotta walk, I’m gonna find her
My carolina peach

I’ve been singin’ all day
Singin’ all night
Singin’ ‘cuz I got this feeling
and i know
It’s a mighty hard road
But we all gotta go
Yeah we all gotta go

Moanin’ through the nights
Moanin’ through the days
Moanin’ ‘cuz I once had a love
And now she’s gone

Don’t you know she’s gone
Don’t you know she’s gone
And she ain’t comin’ back

Laughin’ through the nights
Cryin’ through the days
Losin’ my mind
One tear at all time

All over you
It’s all over you
Hmm, over you
Girl I wish you knew

Who was in the right
Who was in the wrong
Who would have known
It would all come tumblin’ down

Hmm, what a sound
Girl, what a sound
When it hit the ground

Now let me tell you a story about a young man and his lady friend
The poor boy couldn’t make up his mind so his good thing came to an end
She said boy I’m tired of playin’ your games you know I’m tired of you stringin’ me along
If you don’t take a stand and start acting like my man one day you’re gonna wake up
And I’ll be gone

Refrain:
If you want it go out and get it
if you love it hold on to it
don’t you keep it just cause you think you need it
but if you do it do it like you mean it

Now this young man and we won’t mention his name
he said I’ve heard of women like you
So I’m gonna tell you everything you want to hear
But I’m gonna have my cake and eat it too
Now everybody knows how the story goes
‘Cuz people can’t help but yack-ity yack
Now this young man’s gotten old don’t you know he’s all alone
And his baby she ain’t comin’ back

Refrain

Now in the way of tomorrow just right here today
There might be something’s got a hold on you you got to shake loose and get on your way
You might be wonderin’ which way to turn you know we all wonderin’ the same thing too
But if you feel there must be something more and love is what you’re livin’ for hen here’s all I’ve got to say to you

Refrain

It’s just another day
Doin’ my same old thing
In my same old way

The sun came up
Grandma called
And she’s feelin’ fine

I put down the phone
With a smiling face
And I feel alright

But somethin’ always seems to come along
To remind me that you’re not
You’re not around, oh no

Refrain:
And I still wonder why
Why did you have to go
And I still see your face
Every place I go
And I still break down and cry
Everyday is just one more day without you
It’s just another day

In the same old house
That we use to share
You know the memories
Can be a little hard to bare

And even when I’m walkin’ down the street
I might look up and it’s you
It’s you that I see
But I know that you’re gon

Refrain

Its just another day
Another week
Another month
Another year

And you think by now
I’d be all out of tears
‘Cuz today you know
I might be feelin’ fine
Ooh but tomorrow
I wake, I wake up crying
Oh yes I do

Refrain

Just because your mama said
just because your friends told you too
Just because you read in the news
just because you wish it was true
Just because you want it all
just because you’re scared to fall

Just because
Just because Just because
That ain’t no reason at all

Just because you wandered in
just because the shape I was in
Just because your eye caught my glance
just because I needed a chance
just because I knew that you would
just because I thought that I should

Just because Just because Just because
That’s the only reason I know

just because it felt like it did
just because I finally could breathe
just because I finally could see
just because it hurt to be real
just because there were stars in the sky
just like that I thought I knew why

Just because
Just because
Just because
That’s the only reason I know

Just because
Just because
Things don’t always go
The way that you thought that they would

But believe me baby
If I could
You know I surely would
You know I’d that I’d do it all over again

But I hope baby
I hope that you feel the same way too
Even though
I broke your poor heart in two

But believe me when I tell you
That it hurts me too
Just because
Just because it’s the love that I feel for you

Just because
Just because
Just because
It’s the love that I feel in my heart

It’s the love that I feel in my heart
It’s the love that I feel in my heart

I still wake up and I’m livin’
I’m still lovin’ and I’m givin’
But I cry now when I’m singin’
And there’s always somethin’ missin’

I never thought that it would be this way
I never thought that I would have to say

Refrain:
I’ll meet you on that other shore

It was you who taught me how to live
It was you that taught me how to give
It was you that taught me how to love
Now when I love it’s you I’m thinkin’ of
It was you that got the best of me
Now I’m searchin’ for the rest of me

Refrain

Whoa, don’t you know we’ve been wonderin’
Is there something that we could have done
To keep you here with us under the sun?

But you made up your mind
To leave this broken up world behind
All we can do is hope you made it there
And let you know that you’re in our prayers

So for now we keep on pushin’ on
And I know one day we’ll see that dawn
Just to see your smilin’ face again
in that land where joy will never end

For now your love keeps liftin’ me
while I’m clingin’ to your memory

Refrain

There’s so much that I’d like to say
But I have to wait until the day
Whoa oh, whoa whoa
I’ll meet you on that other shore

There have been some long long days
There have been some cold lonely nights
Been some rocks in my road
Girl I thought you should know

I can’t shake these blues
Ooh, they got a hold on me
And only you can bring me back
Back to how I used to be

Just take me in your power
Rock me in your arms
Let your lovin’ on me
’Til the daylight comes

Take me in your power
Let me drink from your cup
Ooh, I wanna dive to the bottom with you
And never come up

Like the birds that sing
Like the hounds that howl
So my soul it yearns
So my heart cries out

Like the river that flows
I’m captive to the sea
When your lovin’ arms
They set me free again

So take me in your power
Rock me in your arms
Let your lovin’ on me
’Til the daylight comes

Just take me in your power
Let me drink from your cup
Ooh, I wanna dive to the bottom with you
And never come up

I’ve been up and
I’ve been down
Almost level
With the ground

But you know I, I’m still
Still around

And I’ve got that feeling
All in my bones
Yeah, I’ve got that feeling
All in my bones
Yeah, yeah

Day in, day out
It’s the same old grind
But you know good things
Sometimes they take some time

You’ve got to stay thankful, thoughtful
And you might find

That you’ve got that feeling
Stirrin’ in your bones
That you’ve got that feeling
Stirrin’ in your bones

Well they say, they say
It can’t be done
That we could ever
Live as one

But we gonna keep on pushin’
You know the day will come

Just keep that feelin’
All in your bones
Better keep that feelin’
All in your bones

When alone I pass the hours
Thinkin’ of the days gone by
You return so clear in my memory
As though we’d never said goodbye

And I recall a summer pleasant
Spent sweet in love’s embrace
And when I hear the roll of thunder
In my mind I’ll see the place

There was a window by my bedside
Where the warm rain blew right in
There we made love all one summer
While the storm’s passed overhead

And the rain it cooled our bodies
Burned by a love too warm
Our tears and sweat made mellow
While the leaves from the trees were torn

There was a window by my bedside
Where the warm rain blew right in
There we made love all one summer
While the storm’s passed overhead

Whoa, mama
Don’t worry ‘bout your baby boy
You know I’m just out in this wide world
Lookin’ for a little bit of love and joy

Whoa, mama
Won’t you say I’m in your prayers
‘Cuz you know you’ve got a son
Out in this world somewhere
Oh yeah

I’m a poor boy
And I’m travelin’ through this world alone
Ooh, I’m a stranger here
You know I’m a great long way from home

So baby, baby
I want you to take your time
‘Cuz you know I’ve had my share of fast women
And I’ve almost lost my mind
