And in her eyes you see nothing,

No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one.

A love that should have lasted years.

Free as a bird,

It's the next best thing to be free as a bird.

Home, home and dry

Like a homing bird I fly, as a bird on wings

Whatever happened to the life that we once knew

Can we really live without each other

Where did we lose the touch

That seemed to mean so much

It always made me feel so

Free as a bird,

It's the next best thing to be free as a bird.

Home home and dry

Like a homing bird I fly-a bird on wing

Whatever happened to the life that we once knew

Always made me feel soooo

Free

Free as a bird

It's the next best thing to be

Free as a bird

Free as a bird

Free as a bird

Late yesterday night I saw a light shine from a window,

And as I looked again your face came into sight.

I couldn't walk on until you'd gone from your window.

I had to make you mine I knew you were the one.

Oh I would be glad just to love a love like that,

Oh I would be true and I'd live my life for you.

So meet me tonight just where the light shines from a window,

And as I take your hand say that you'll be mine tonight.

If there's anything that you want,

If there's anything I can do,

Just call on me and I'll send it along

With love from me to you.

I've got ev'rything that you want,

Like a heart that's oh, so true.

Just call on me and I'll send it along

With love from me to you.

I got arms that long to hold you

And keep you by my side;

I got lips that long to kiss you

And keep you satisfied.

If there's anything that you want,

If there's anything I can do,

Just call on me and I'll send it along

With love from me to you.

Just call on me and I'll send it along

With love from me to you.

I got arms that long to hold you

And keep you by my side;

I got lips that long to kiss you

And keep you satisfied.

If there's anything that you want,

If there's anything I can do,

Just call on me and I'll send it along

With love from me to you.

Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a longer,

But, he knew it couldn't last.

Jo Jo left his home in Tucson, Arizona,

For some California grass.

Get back!

Get back!

Get back to where you once belonged.

Get back!

Get back!

Get back to where you once belonged.

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman,

But, she was another man.

All the girls around her say she's got it coming,

But she gets it while she can.

Get back!

Get back!

Get back to where you once belonged.

Get back!

Get back!

Get back to where you once belonged.

It's getting better all the time. (Better, better, better)

I used to get mad at my school,

The teacher who taught me weren't cool.

Holding me down,

Turning me round,

Filling me up with your rules.

I've got to admit it's getting better,

It's a little better all the time.

I have to admit it's getting better,

It's getting better since you've been mine.

Me used to be angry young man,

Me hiding me head in the sand.

You gave me the word,

I finally heard,

I'm doing the best that I can.

I've got to admit it's getting better,

It's a little better all the time.

I have to admit it's getting better,

It's getting better since you've been mine,

Getting so much better all the time.

It's getting better all the time, (Better, better, better)

It's getting better all the time. (Better, better, better)

I used to be cruel to my woman,

I beat her, and kept her apart from the things that she loved.

Man, I was mean but I'm changing my scene,

And I'm doing the best that I can.

I've got to admit it's getting better,

It's a little better all the time.

I have to admit it's getting better,

It's getting better since you've been mine.

Getting so much better all the time.

It's getting better all the time, (Better, better, better)

It's getting better all the time. (Better, better, better)

Getting so much better all the time.

Is there anybody going' to listen to my story

All about the girl who came to stay?

She's a kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry;

Still, you don't regret a single day.

Ah, girl!

When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her,

She will turn to me and start to cry.

And the promises the earth to me and I believe her,

After all this time I don't know why.

Ah, girl!

She's a kind of girl who puts you down when friends are there,

You feel a fool.

When you say she's looking good she acts as if it's understood,

She's cool, cool, cool, cool.

Ah, girl!

Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure.

Did she understand it when they said

That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure?

Will she still believe it when he's dead?

Ah, girl!
