See me sitting in the palmtree
Looking down at people passing by
Sitting here no-one can harm me
They just stare at me and wonder why
No need to bother, I'm gonna stay up here
Whatever happens, I won't let no-one near
Until you tell me, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind, won't you please
You really love me, Jeanie Jeanie you're so fine, yes you are now
And in the evening, when the sun goes down
I'll be the bluest of men in this town
'Cause I love you, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind

See me sitting in the palmtree
Waiting for those little words from you
People laugh and point their fingers
Like I was a monkey at the zoo
But I will stay here, among my coconuts
So you will know dear, you're everything I've got
Now won't you tell me, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind

Winds blow, stars glow, I see a light in a window
Dark trees, soft breeze, carry my message to her please

See me sitting in the palmtree
Feeling angry at the silly crowd
No-one else but you can calm me
You should know by now I'm far too proud
I need to show you, I've got my feelings too
You shouldn't treat me like you always do
So won't you tell me, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind, won't you please

Do I hear what I think I'm hearing?
Do I see the signs I think I see?
Or is this just a fantasy?
Is it true that the beast is waking
Stirring in his restless sleep tonight
In the pale moonlight
In the grip of this cold December
You and I have reason to remember

Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
The songs that you and I don't sing
They blow their horns and march along
They drum their drums and look so strong
You'd think that nothing in the world was wrong
Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
The songs that you and I won't sing
Let's not look the other way
Taking a chance
'Cause if the bugler starts to play
We too must dance

What's that sound, what's that dreadful rumble?
Won't somebody tell me what I hear?
In the distance but drawing near
Is it only a storm approaching?
All that thunder and the blinding light
In the winter night
In the grip of this cold December
You and I have reason to remember

Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing
The songs that you and I don't sing
They blow their horns and march along
They drum their drums and look so strong
You'd think that nothing in the world was wrong

Schoolbag in hand
she leaves home
in the early morning
waving goodbye
with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go
with a surge of
that well known sadness
and I have to sit down
for a while
the feeling that I'm
loosing her forever
and without really
entering her world
I'm glad whenever I
can share her laughter
that funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers
all the time
I try to capture
every minute
the feeling in it
slipping through my fingers
all the time
do I really see what's
in her mind
each time I think
I'm close to knowing
she keeps on growing
slipping through my fingers
all the time

Sleep in our eyes
her and me
at the breakfast table
barely awake I
let precious time go by
then when she's gone
there's that odd
melancholy feeling
and a a sense of
guilt I can't deny
what happened to the
wonderful adventures
the places I had
planned for us to go
well some of that we did
but most we didn't
and why I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers
all the time
I try to capture
every minute
the feeling in it
slipping through my fingers
all the time
do I really see what's
in her mind
each time I think
I'm close to knowing
she keeps on growing
slipping through my fingers
all the time

Sometimes I wish
that I could freeze
the picture
and save it from
the funny tricks of time
slipping through my fingers

Schoolbag in hand
she leaves home
in the early morning
waving goodbye
with an absent-minded smile

Rock me, give me that kick now
Rock me, show me that trick now
Roll me, you can do magic
Baby, and I can't get enough of it
Rock me, give me that feeling
Roll me, rocking and reeling
Baby, so don't stop doing it, don't stop doing it, now
(Don't stop the rocking, don't stop the rocking
I said don't stop the rocking)

Wanna be wanna be in my baby's arms
Gonna be gonna be
Nice and gentle if you want me to
Just as long as I'm in love with you
Yours for ever, honey, that's what I
Wanna be wanna be wanna be, yeah

Rock me, give me that kick now
Rock me, show me that trick now
Roll me, you can do magic
Baby, and I can't get enough of it
Rock me, give me that feeling
Roll me, rocking and reeling
Baby, so don't stop doing it, don't stop doing it, now
(Don't stop the rocking, don't stop the rocking
I said don't stop the rocking)

Wanna be wanna be with the one that I love, love, love
Gonna be gonna be
With you baby every single night
I can teach you how to rock all right
Your sweet lover, honey, that's what I
Wanna be wanna be wanna be, yeah

Rock me, give me that kick now
Rock me, show me that trick now
Roll me, you can do magic

A bailar, a girar
Sabes reir y vibrar
Miren bien, alli va
Como una reina ya

Viernes noche y adonde ir
todo listo para salir
luces por todas partes
busquen un lugar
musica y a bailar

Uno y todos a disfrutar
hay un ritmo sensacional
con un rock muy violento
largas a bailar
nadie te va a parar
y en la multitud
brillas con plenitud
Reina al fin toda juventud
tu inquietud
Reina al fin toda juventud

A bailar, a girar
Sabes reir y vibrar
Miren bien, alli va
Como una reina ya

Y aungue sabes coquetear
te interesa solo bailar
con quien ya no te importa
sola te da igual
nadie te va a parar

Uno y todos a disfrutar
hay un ritmo sensacional
con un rock muy violento
largas a bailar
nadie te va a parar
y en la multitud
brillas con plenitud
Reina al fin toda juventud
tu inquietud
Reina al fin toda juventud

A bailar, a girar
Sabes reir y vibrar
Miren bien, alli va
Como una reina ya

I was sitting by the phone 
I was waiting all alone 
Baby, by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you 
It's a dark and dreary night 
Seems like nothing's going right 
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you 

Yes, I'm down and feeling blue 
And I don't know what to do, oh-oh 

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all 
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall 
And I sit all alone impatiently 
Won't you please understand the need in me 
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 

You were here and now you're gone 
Hey, did I do something wrong 
I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken 
Was it me or was it you 
Tell me, are we really through 
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking 

Please forgive and then forget 
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh 

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all 
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall 
And I sit all alone impatiently 
Won't you please understand the need in me 
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 
Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call 
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call

People need hope, people need loving 
People need trust from a fellow man 
People need love to make a good living 
People need faith in a helping hand 

Man has always wanted a woman by his side to keep him company 
Women always knew that it takes a man to get matrimonial harmony 
Everybody knows that a man who's feeling down wants some female sympathy 
Gotta have love to carry on living 
Gotta have love 'til eternity 

People need hope, people need loving 
People need trust from a fellow man 
People need love to make a good living 
People need faith in a helping hand 

Flowers in a desert need a drop of rain like a woman needs her man 
If a man's in love and his woman wants the moon 
Then he'll take it down if he can 
Somebody who loves you and somebody who cares 
Isn't that what you call a friend 
Gotta have love to carry on living 
Isn't it easy to understand 

People need hope, people need loving 
People need trust from a fellow man 
People need love to make a good living 
People need faith in a helping hand 

People need hope, people need loving 
People need trust from a fellow man 
People need love to make a good living 
People need faith in a helping hand 

The summer air was soft and warm
The feeling right, the Paris night
Did it's best to please us
And strolling down the Elysee
We had a drink in each cafe
And you
You talked of politics, philosophy and I
Smiled like Mona Lisa
We had our chance
It was a fine and true romance

I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain

We made our way along the river
And we sat down in the grass
By the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh yes
Those crazy years, that was the time
Of the flower-power
But underneath we had a fear of flying
Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying
We took the chance
Like we were dancing our last dance

I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand

Paris restaurants
Our last summer
Morning croissants
Living for the day, worries far away
Our last summer
We could laugh and play

And now you're working in a bank
The family man, the football fan
And your name is Harry
How dull it seems
Yet you're the hero of my dreams

They passed me by, all of those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it's different, I want you to know

One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all

I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know

One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only

No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table
Though I would have liked to begin
So much that I wanna say, but I feel unable
You leave and slam the door
Like you've done many times before
And I cry and I feel so helpless

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end

Outside I can see the sun through the open window
Inside everything feels so cold
What's wrong, what is happening, where did all our love go?
Sometimes when I just can't cope
I cling to a desperate hope
And I cry and I feel like dying

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end

Daydreams of a better life, but I have to wake up
The sound of the key in the door
You smile and I realise that we need a shake-up
Our love is a precious thing
