There was a time, when everything seemed down Nothing to do, I didn’t feel good Nowhere to go, nothing to say But I’m back on my feet again from today Back on my feet again Oh baby you put me right Back on my feet again You take the dark right out the night and make it seem bright again Back on my feet again Back on my feet x6 I’m back on my feet again There was a day, I felt that way Nothing inside, I could have died But when I saw what you could do You put me me back on my feet again yeah you, alright Back on my feet again Oh baby you put me right Back on my feet again You take the dark right out the night and make it seem bright again Back on my feet again Back on my feet x6 I’m back on my feet again Back on my feet again Oh baby you put me right Back on my feet again You take the dark right out the night and make it seem bright again Oh back on my feet again Back on my feet x14 Im back on my feet again Back on my feet again Oh baby you put me right Back on my feet again You take the dark right out the night

Baby I Do 03:46
Sitting down to waste some time I let the day roll by me all I wanna do today is sit with you beside me Watching all the people rush by with hurried looks in their eye Wont make me change what I feel inside me And I hope you feel that way too ‘cos baby I do Living under city skies where everything is moving Makes it that much better here where the wind is soothing Oh so good to get a way for a while Almost forgot how to smile it feels so good to be here I know that I’ll always wanna be with you baby I do Lying side by side soaking up the sunny weather Dancing in the rain happy just to be together Thinking about the Time we spent In our years together And hoping that it’s gonna stay Like it is forever Do you remember when we used to stay in our situation was grim but as it was we managed through thick and thin And you would whisper I love you Baby I do

Wild Woman 03:26
I got a woman she’s been away But she was due back the other day I aint seen her and she hasn’t phoned Dont know where to reach her she’s not at home She went to Africa and the U.S. of A. And I went to pieces when she went away She wrote a letter said she’d seen it all And she was coming back to me in a week or so She’s a Wild Woman Nothing can tie her down She’s a wild lady When she’s got to go she gets around People are talking behind my back But don't push me off the track I don't give up without a fight Whats mine baby it would be right Gonna call on the FBI Gotta find this girl of mine ‘Cos I know she’s got to be some place Gotta touch her gotta see her face She’s a Wild Woman Nothing can tie her down She’s a wild lady When she’s got to go she gets around I got a woman she’s been away But she was due back the other day I aint seen her and she hasn’t phoned Dont know where to reach her she’s not at home She’s a Wild Woman Nothing can tie her down She’s a wild lady When she’s got to go she gets around She’s a Wild Woman Nothing can tie her down She’s a wild lady When she’s got to go she gets around

Who Knows 04:18
Who knows what the future will hold Or what tomorrow may bring I dont care if the winters are cold Theres always another spring And I cant say what I will be When my days are almost through But all I hope is that ill still belong to you You know I must follow my dreams In any path that they make And though sometimes they are not as they seem Its the road I must take But baby you’ve got to hep me ‘Cos whatever I may do All I hope is that Ill still belong to you There is nothing else thats dear to me Than that feeling when I sink in your arms Then everything that was dear to me Fades under the spell of your charms But baby you’ve got to hep me ‘Cos whatever I may do All I hope is that Ill still belong to you, All I hope is that Ill still belong to you, that Ill still belong to you

Step In the right direction Step In the right direction Step In the right direction Should you see a man walk down the street with nowhere in his eyes It aint me And should you meet someone who knows it all but all he knows are lies It aint me ‘Cos I’ve learned one thing since I’ve been with you Step in the right direction Is the thing to do I took a step in the right direction And made a right connection And then to my surprise I say my own reflection It was a step in the It was a Step in the right direction And made a right connection And then to my surprise I say my own reflection It was a Step In the right direction Step In the right direction Step In the right direction ‘Cos I’ve learned one thing since I’ve been with you Step in the right direction Is the thing to do I took a step in the right direction And made a right connection And then to my surprise I say my own reflection It was a step in the Step in the Right Direction

Well I was only sixteen When I went to my first real dance My momma said ‘son think its time you got into romance’ Well I know she only tried to help But I had to find it for myself And when I got to the door I was shaking in my pants And then I saw you Sweet Little Rock ’n’ roller Wont try to stop and hold you Sweet Little Rock ’n’ roller Aint nothing you can do like dance the night away Had the beat in my bones was a feeling I aint felt before I was standing there rocking to the rhythm of her heart and soul She turned her head and looked my way I knew what she was trying to say Had the beat in my bones yeah it was rock ’n’ roll Sweet Little Rock ’n’ roller You know I’m gonna try n hold ya Sweet Little Rock ’n’ roller Aint nothing you can do like dance the night away She turned her head and looked my way Well I knew what she was trying to say And there was nothing I could do It was rock ’n’ roll Sweet Little Rock ’n’ roller You do like your daddy told ya Sweet Little Rock ’n’ roller Aint nothing you can do like dance the night away

Every night put my head on the pillow and off I go again Thinking ‘bout the things that matter to a boy like me But If I’ve got you thats all that matters And I wont care should all else shatter in a million pieces Pieces can be stuck together If you and I can live forever Together forever Only love can last forever its love that keeps us both together And thats how its gonna stay Whatever comes my way Only love can last forever (and a day) Everyday I need a shoulder to lean on It means a lot to me Even though I’m not much nearer what I wanna be But If I’ve got you thats all that matters And I wont care should all else shatter in a million pieces Pieces can be stuck together Only love can last forever its love that keeps us both together And thats how its gonna stay Whatever comes my way Only love can last forever (its only love)

You and I 02:46
You and I You and I You and I I’ve been missing you all the time Wondering if you’ll still be mine In the two years or more Since I left the door I’ve never stopped thinking about you And the tear in your eye kept me alive Through the hard times of living without you But the money Ive got Will count for a lot Now we’re facing the future together Oh you and I

The night is calm the stars are out the air is still She dreams a wish come true but knows it never will And as she looks into his eyes He’s miles away thinking ‘bout someone he met the other day Gently she puts out her hand in search of his And gladly she gives all she has in just a kiss But somehow in her heart she knows it was the last For him how long she seemed to make these moments last He’s just a heartbreaker oh oh He's trying very hard to hold down a smile Hoping it’ll keep her happy for a while He needs the time until he’s found the words to say And when he’s through and morning comes it’ll be just another day And he’s just a heartbreaker oh oh She knows the end is near and so without a word She softly slips away and knows he hasn’t heard And only for a moment stops to wipe a tear That trickled from her eye before she disappears And he’s just a heartbreaker oh oh
