Walked all day till my feet were tired
I was low, I just couldn't get hired
So I sat in a grocery store
"Help is light & I need some more"
(I got a job)
Sha na na na, sha na na na na
(repeat above 2 lines 3 times)
Well, I fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly (got a job)
Sha na na na, sha na na na na
You've been houndin' me to get a job
Well I finally did & my boss is a slob
He's on my back really all day long
It seems like everything I do is wrong
Well, I fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly (got a job)
Sha na na na, sha na na na na
(He says to me)
"Get the boxes, take 'em to the basement
Do the job right or I'll get a replacement
Get the mop & clean the dirty floors
& when you're finished wipe the windows & the doors"
I fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly fin'lly (got a job)
Sha na na na, sha na na na na
Well, this man's about to drive me stone insane
One of these days I'm gonna have a fit
& though the boss keeps a-runnin' through my brain
I'll never (never) (never) (never) (never never quit my brand
new job)
Workin' all day & workin' all night & workin' all day
(repeat previous 2 verses)
(repeat "Workin' all day & workin all night" & fade)
(Goin' to a go-go, goin' to a go-go)
Na na na na yeah heh
Well there's a brand new place I found
Where people go from miles around
They come from everywhere
& if you drop in there
You might see everyone in town
(Goin' to a go-go) everybody's
(Goin' to a go-go) come on now
(Don't you wanna go)
Yeah, one more time, yeah
(Goin' to a go-go) oo oo ee ee
(Goin' to a go-go) baby come on now
It doesn't matter where you are
A go-go can be found
You'll see the people from your block
& don't be shocked
If you see your favorite star, now
(Goin' to a go-go) everybody's
(Goin' to a go-go) oh come on now
(Don't you wanna go)
Yeah people, come on now
Na na na na yeah heh
Tell me (don't you wanna go)
Yeah, well it's all right
(Goin' to a go-go) yes I am
(Goin' to a go-go) oh come on now
It doesn't matter if you don't stag
It doesn't matter if you don't drag
You're sure to have some fun
From meetin' everyone
Most every taxi that you flag is
(Goin' to a go-go) oh come on baby
(Goin' to a go-go) baby come on now
(Don't you wanna go)
Yeah, one more time, yeah
(Goin' to a go-go) oo oo ee ee
(Goin' to a go-go) baby come on now
(Goin' to a go-go) come on baby
(Goin' to a go-go) come on now
...& fade
Let it be soon, don't hesitate
Make it now, don't wait
Open your heart & let my love come in
I want the moment to start when I can fill your heart with...
CHORUS:
More love, more joy
Than age or time could ever destroy
My love will be so sound
It would take about 100 lifetimes
To live it down, wear it down, tear it down
This is no fiction, this is no act
This is real, it's a fact
I'll always belong only to you
Each day I'll be living to make sure I'm giving you...
(chorus)
As we grow older no need to fear
When you need me I'll be here
I'll be beside you every step of the way
A heart that's truthful & keeping you youthful with...
(repeat chorus & fade)
Oh you may not love me now but I'm stayin' around
'Cause you want my company
Just like push can turn to shove, like can turn to love
& it's my philosophy that
If you can want, you can need
& if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
& as soon as you want me I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Oh, now this may take some time, but if time was money
I would be a millionare
So whenever you want me call, any time at all
& for sure I'll be right there, 'cause
If you can want, you can need
& if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
& as soon as you want me I'll be there
(I'll be there) when ever you want me
I'll be standin' by, not far way
Let your mind give me a sign
'Cause I'm prepared to wait until that future date
When you'll want me all the time, 'cause
(repeat & fade):
If you can want, you can need
& if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
& as soon as you want me I'll be there
(I'll be there) when ever you want me
(spoken):
Nothing so blue as a heart in pain
Nothing so sad as a tear in vain
Let him walk on out if he wants to
He really doesn't deserve you
His loss is our gain so don't be blue
'Cause stone blind & out of his mind
Is what he has to be, yeah
So baby straighten up, come on & fly right
It's no catastrophe, yeah
& say now
CHORUS:
Baby baby don't cry
Baby baby here's why
Love is here standing by
Love is here standing by
(spoken):
You trusted him & gave him your love
A love he proved unworthy of
Too bad it was him that you trusted
Too bad but you can't be disgusted
It's time that you got readjusted
& realized that tear filled eyes
Can never stop him now
That man is on his way
I think he's gone to stay
You better drop him now, yeah
(chorus)
All you gotta do is dry your eyes long enough to see
That you have go the love you thought you had in him here in me
Love is hope girl, love is strength
Here's someone standing right beside you
Who would go to any length to give you love true & deep
& hope you realize at last you've found a love that you can keep
& only losers weep, so
(chorus)
Your tears are shed in vain, I said so
(repeat chorus & fade)
You make me feel just like I'm the luckiest man to ever live
Cause all the love one man could possibly get honey you give
In your voice, soft & low
There's a little something that let's me know
If you took your heart & made it mine
I would be true till the end of time
Of time, doggone right (doggone right)
You brighten up baby each & every day that I have to face
& if the sun don't shine, your smile is there to take its place
Sweet & warm tender touch
Letting me know that it means so much
To be loved by somebody who is just as much in love as you
As you, doggone right (doggone right)
Said you're doggone right (doggone right)
Oh doggone right (doggone right)
Oh you're doggone right
When I am sad you take the time to be concerned
It makes a man feel so good to know that his love is being returned
Eenie meenie miney mo
Love is a guessing game I know
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
But I've got to win cause it's you that I choose
I choose, doggone right (doggone right)
Said you're doggone right (doggone right)
(repeat & fade):
Doggone right (doggone right)
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
I'm only payin' the price for a trip I took to paradise
'Cause I looked into a pair of eyes
& what I thought was the look of love was only hurt in disguise
Too bad I didn't realize, oh but don't apologize, no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
I should've did it myself
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
I think it's pretty plain: holdin' you would take a ball & chain
Every bet I made was all in vain
'Cause what I thought was an ocean of love was just a wee drop of rain
Too bad that it couldn't rain, oh but you don't have to explain, no,
'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
I should've did it myself
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
That's the thing to do
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
(instrumental)
I said, what I thought was sure to last, to last was just a minute instead
Too bad that I got misled, ah but you don't have to hang your head,
no, 'cause...
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
I should've did it myself
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
'Cause that's the thing to do
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no

Soft & warm, a quiet storm
Quiet as when flowers talk at break of dawn, break of dawn
A power source of tender force
Generatin', radiatin', turn me on, turn me on

Promisin' electric things
You touch me & suddenly there's rainbow rings
Quiet storm blowin' through my life, uh huh
Quiet storm blowin' through my life, ah
Blow, baby
A windy sigh, weak am I
Butterfly caught up in the hurricane, hurricane
Lucky me, I'm barely free
Suddenly I'm caught up in your somber rain
Ah shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop through all the seasons
Let it pour & never stop
Quiet storm blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a
Quiet storm blowin' through my life
(instrumental)
Ah shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop through all the seasons
Let it pour & never stop
Quiet storm blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a
Quiet storm blowin' through my life
Blow, baby
