I'll never forget those aimless years
Street sounds swirling through my mind
Trouble was often in the air
So we fought to forget our despair
I'm a street player
And I'll play you a song
'Cause you know, my heart & soul
Will carry, carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
City life's the only way
Street corners and billiard halls was our home away
Lessons learned still help me today
I'm a street player
I've seen it all
Hitmen, thieves and many a brawl
But as you see I still stand tall
It was such a small space in time
I never knew that I would find
A musical path for all to see
Anxiety into ecstacy
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I've seen it all
Hitmen, thieves and many a brawl
But as you see I still stand tall
It was such a small space in time
I never knew that I would find
A musical path for all to see
Anxiety into ecstacy
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player
I'm a street player

On the road
But I won't be gone too long
Babe, I'm leavin' you tomorrow
On my way
And you know you make me strong
I'll be thinking 'bout you
all night long
(Chorus)
Mama take just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit from my heart
Mama shake just a little bit
Mama brake just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit from my heart
All alone
And, I'm feelin' down today
Won't let nothin' come between us
Say the words
And the words are meant to say
I'll be thinkin' about you everyday
Mama take just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit from my heart, oh, oh
Mama shake just a little bit
Mama brake just a little bit
Mama take just a little bit from my heart
From my heart
I believe that we belong beyond a doubt
If we have a change of heart
We can always change our mind
And I know we'll work it out
I can see that it's the only way to go
It's the only chance I get
It's the only way you'll know
That I love to love you
Mighty love
Gettin' hard to find today
I believe in you forever
Say thhe words
And the words are meant to say
I'll be thinkin' about you everyday
(Repeat Chorus)

She's fine, so fine
And I think I'm going to lose my mind
So high, so high,
You know you make me want to
Scream and shout
Well, you know I'm like a fool
Who's just got to have a reason
You know that I've found mine
Must have been crazy
Must have been crazy, yeah
Must have been crazy
To have done this so long
This time, it's time
Every singer's got to sing his song
So fine, it's fine
You know you make me want to
Sing along
'Cause you know I'm not a fool
Got to find a piece of heaven
You know that I found mine
Must have been crazy
Must have been crazy, yeah
Must have been crazy
To have done this so long
'Cause you know I'm not a fool
Got to find a piece of heaven
You know that I found mine
Must have been crazy
Must have been crazy, yeah
Must have been crazy
To have done this so long

Lookin' out by my window,
Thinking 'bout you all the time,
Wish you were here with me
Right here by my side,
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
Every time I find myself on the road
Miss you holdin' me tight
Flop down in my easy chair,
Makes me feel alright
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
(Bridge)
Gigs are fun, when they're done,
Feel so down, act like a clown,
Company's great, but when it's late,
I'm lookin' for the phone
I feel so alone--so alone
Knowin' the way we both feel,
O know you're always gonna be my friend
Dig, your face, Lord, it's real
Someday I'm never gonna go again,
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
'Cause I'm window, window dreamin'
(Bridge)
Gigs are fun, when they're done,
Feel so down, act like a clown,
Company's great, but when it's late,
I'm lookin' for the phone
I feel so alone--
So all alone

Come on in, have a look around
Hang your hat and find a chair
The pretty women smile at you
The party's just beginning
There's music everywhere
Paradise alley
Paradise alley
Paradise alley
Brothers got to stick together here
Fight with one, you fight with three
The family blood is thick as mud
Day to day the world keeps spinning
Paradise alley
Paradise alley
Paradise alley
It reminds you of who you used to be
And who you are, and who you'll always be
It finds you in pursuit of dreams
And hopeless schemes
Life is richer than it seems
Nothing like being in a woman's arms
The one you love, the one you want
There's one small problem, who can she be
I feel like winning her in paradise alley
Paradise alley
Paradise alley
I'm gonna take you there
Paradise alley
Paradise alley
I'm gonna take you there
Take you to the paradise

Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Aloha mama won't you treat me right
I need you tender woman won't you hold me tight
Surfridin' sister I wanna taste your love
Le's make it in the garden beneath the stars above
Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Aloha mama have you got the cure
My heart's all broken and I feel unsure
Surfridin' sister I got to fly away
I'll be back in September that's the price I pay
Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Can't you feel the tradewinds blowin'
There's a look in your eyes you're goin'
Don't leave me now I'm a hurtin'
If you'd look in my eyes you'd see hunger arise
Can't you feel all these years I've been cryin' these years
Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay
Aloha mama don't make me cry
Aloha mama you know I'l die
Aloha mama don't go away
Aloha mama I want you to stay

We've been through it all before
But you brought it up once more
I let you down, you can't forget it
You forgave me
You won't let it fade away
I will not discuss the past
Life goes by us much too fast
To look behind and dwell on trouble
Someday it could
Burst our bubble by and by
All we have together
Would be lost unless we try
Make the most of each day
And to let our feelings fly
We've been through it all before
But you brought it up once more
I let you down, you can't forget it
You forgave me
You won't let it fade away
Put it all behind us
Will I always have to pay
Something I'm not proud of
Is there nothing I can say
I know you are angry
I know you're for real
I know how much I hurt you darling
That's the way you feel
I will not discuss the past
Life goes by us much too fast
To look behind and dwell on trouble
Someday it could
Burst our bubble by and by
Put it all behind us
Will I always have to pay
Something I'm not proud of
Is there nothing I can say
All we have together
Would be lost unless we try
Make the most of each day
And to let our feelings fly

Many miles of memories
Many tears I can't forget
But I know you live inside me yet
Oh
Many hours to contemplate
Many dreams I can't recall
Many nights I've felt I was too small
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, yea
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, yea
It's a hard and bitter world
When you face reality
And it's hard to be who you want to be
Oh
Many miles of memories
Catch the wind and blow away
But I know that it's over, over anyway
Oh
But tonight I sit and wonder why
You left me here
After all this time I don't know why
You left me here
If it's all behind me
You know you'll find me
Oh
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, yea
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, oh yea
But tonight I sit and wonder why
You left me here
After all this time I wonder why
Wonder why
You left me here
If it's all behind me
You know you'll find me
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, yea
Nothing more than a loser with a broken heart, oh yea
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
I'm a loser

Why do we have to go and face the same routine
And the traffic jams and crowded street's a real
Neurotic scene
I don't know, why do we take it each day, yeah
Why does my girl tell me she's got to
Have her way
Out all night, come home to fight
What am I to say
I don't know, why do we take it each day
Life is what it is
Who wants to try not to believe
That's the way it is
Oh, oh
I don't know why what you feel inside
Days go on
Love is something that you just can't hide
If it's wrong
Then you'll want to know, you don't know why
I sing a song
And it helps me yet I'll get by
At times
Lost in time sometimes your mind unwinds
Sun does shine
But no pleasure from your beauty's mine
Like champagne wine
A bitter taste that's so refined
Life it's fine
You always pay for what's behind
Why do I have to go and face the same routine
And the traffic jams and crowded street's a real
Neurotic scene
I don't know, why do we take it each day, yeah
Life is what it is
Who wants to try not to believe
That's the way it is

Run away
Leave all your worries behind you
Run away
Run for your life never turn back
Run away
Run from the wrong that surrounds you
Run away
Run like a fool and you just might make it
(Chorus)
And soon you will be
Right ware you wanna be
Free to live the way you want to
And soon you will find
Just what you're lookin' for
All the good times you never, never knew
Run away
Follow the voice deep inside you
Run away
Follow the sun, find a new life
Run away
Run from the lies that destroy you
Run away
Run like a fool and you just might make it
(Chorus II)
And soon you will be
Right ware you wanna be
Free to live the way you want to
And soon, I said soon, you will find
Just what you're lookin' for
All the good times you never, never knew
Run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
Run away
