It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom, running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions, they're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me
Don't cry for me, Argentina
(humming chorus)
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true
Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's
The little old bird woman comes
In her own special way to the people
She calls, "Come, buy my bags full of crumbs"
"Come feed the little birds, show them you care
And you'll be glad if you do
Their young ones are hungry, their nests are so bare
All it takes is tuppence from you"
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag
Feed the birds", that's what she cries
While overhead, her birds fill the skies
All around the cathedral, the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares
Though her words are simple and few
"Listen, listen", she's calling to you
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag"
Lift up your head
Wash off your mascara
Here, take my Kleenex, wipe that lipstick away
Show me your face, clean as the morning
I know things were bad, but now they're okay
Suddenly, Seymour is standing beside you
You don't need no makeup, don't have to pretend
Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide you
Sweet understanding, Seymour's your friend
Nobody ever treated me kindly
Daddy left early, Mama was poor
I'd meet a man and I'd follow him blindly
He'd snap his fingers, me, I'd said sure
Suddenly, Seymour is standing beside me
He don't give me orders, he don't condescend
Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide me
Sweet understanding, Seymour's my friend
Tell me this feeling lasts 'til forever
Tell me the bad times are clean washed away
Please understand that it's still strange and frightening
For losers like I've been, it's so hard to say
Suddenly, Seymour (Suddenly, Seymour)
He purified me (He purified you)
Suddenly, Seymour (Suddenly, Seymour)
Showed me I can (Yes, you can)
Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside me (The girl that's inside inside you)
With sweet understanding (With sweet understanding)
With sweet understanding (With sweet understanding)
With sweet understanding
Seymour's your man
You want all my love and my devotion
You want my love and soul, right on the line
I have no doubt that I could love you, forever
The only trouble is, you really don't have the time
You've got one night only, one night only
That's all you have to spare
One night only
Let's not pretend to care
One night only, one night only
Come on, big baby, come on
One night only
We only have 'til dawn
In the morning this feeling will be gone
It has no chance going on
Something so right has got no chance to live
So let's forget about chances, it's one night I will give
-----disco----
You want all my love and my devotion
You want my love and soul, right on the line
I have no doubt that I could love you, forever
The only trouble is, you really don't have the time
I've got one night only, one night only
That's all you have to spare
One night only
Let's not pretend to care
One night only, one night only
Come on, big baby, come on
One night only
We only have 'til dawn
In the morning this feeling will be gone
It has no chance going on
Something so right has got no chance to live
So let's forget about chances, it's one night I will give
One night only, one night only
Come on, big baby, come on
One night only
We only have 'til dawn
One night only, one night only
There's nothing more to say
One night only
Words get in the way
One night only
One night only
One night only...
We didn't make forever
We each got to go our seperate way
And now we're standing here helpless
Looking for something to say
We've been together a long time
We never thought it would end
We were always so close to each other
You were always my friend
And it's hard to say good-bye, my love
Hard to see you cry, my love
Hard to open up that door
You're not sure what you're going for
I didn't want this to happen
But we shouldn't feel sad
We had a good life together
Just remember, remember, all the times we had
It's not that I don't love you deeply
You were my family
It's just that I'm feeling there's so much more
Waiting out there for you and me
And it's hard to say good-bye, my love
Hard to see you cry, my love
Hard to open up that door
You're not sure what you're going for
You'll know I'll always love you
You'll know I'll always care
And no matter how far I may go
In my heart, I'll Ahhhhh
It's so hard to say good-bye, my love
(Baby, it's so hard) hard to see you cry, my love
(It's so hard) hard to open up that door
When you're not sure what you're going for.
It's so hard to say good-bye, my love
(Baby, it's so hard) hard to see you cry, my love
(It's so hard) hard to open up that door
When you're not sure what you're going for.
Sweet thing, let me tell you ′bout the world and the way things are
You come from a diff'rent place and I know you′ve traveled far
Now that you've told me what it is (Ya da da da da)
I'd better point you toward the Wiz!
He′s the Wiz...
He′s the man, he's the only one who can give your wish right to ya
He′s the Wizard...
He can send you back through time by runnin' magic through ya
All of the superpower′s his (Ya da da da da)
Listen and I'll tell you where he is
He′s the Wiz and he lives in Oz
He's the Wizard...
There's a way to the Emerald City.
Now, that′s not too far, is it?
He's the Wizard...
Just take your dilema, child and lay it on the Wizard
He'll fix you a drink that′ll bubble and foam (Ya da da da da)
And in a flash, you will be home!
He's the Wiz and he lives in Oz.
He′s the Wiz...
He's the Wiz, he′s the Wizard of Oz
He's got magic up his sleeve
He′s the Wizard...
And, you know, without his help
T′would be impossible to leave
Fantastic powers at his command (Ya da da da da)
But I′m sure that he will understand
He's the Wiz and he lives in Oz
He's the Wizard...
You can't win, you can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
People keep sayin' things are gonna change
But they look just like, they're stayin' the same
You can't win, your in over your head
And you only got yourself to blame
You can't win Child
(You can't win Child)
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win, the world keeps movin'
And you're standin' far behind
People keep sayin', things'll get better
(Just to ease your state of mind)
(So you lean back, and you smoke that smoke)
(And you drink your glass of wine)
So you can't win, child, you can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win, you can't win no way
If your story stays the same
(You ain't winnin')
No, no
(But it's nice to see you)
(I'm awfully glad you came)
(Better cool it 'cause it ain't about losing')
And the world has got no shame
You can't win, Child
You can't break even
You can't get out of the game
You can't win, you can't break even
Ain't the way it's supposed to be
(You'll be spendin')
No, no
(Your little bit of money)
… While someone else rides for free, ooh
(Learn your lesson)
(Refuel your mind)
(Before someone blows out your flame)
You can't win, child
(No, you can't win)
You can't win, child
(No, you can't win)
You can't win, child
(No, you can't win)
You can't win, child
(No, you can't win)
You can't win, child, you can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't get out of the game
You can't get out of the game

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

But just know that feeling only lasts a little while
You just stick with us and we'll show you how to smile, yeah
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing that might be a load
Come on, ease on down, ease on down, down the road
When I wake up in the afternoon
Which it pleases me to do
Don't nobody bring me no bad news
'Cause I wake up already negative
And I've wired up my fuse
So don't nobody bring me no bad news
If we're going to be buddies
Better bone up on the rules
'Cause don't nobody bring me no bad news
You can be my best of friends
As opposed to payin' dues
But don't nobody bring me no bad news
No bad news (No bad news)
Don't you ever bring me no bad news (No bad news)
'Cause I'll make you an offer, child
That you cannot refuse
So don't nobody bring me no bad news
When you're talking to me
Don't be cryin' the blues
'Cause don't nobody bring me no bad news (No bad news)
You can verbalize and vocalize
But just bring me the clues
But don't nobody bring me no bad news
Bring some message in your head
Or in something you can't lose
But don't you ever bring me no bad news (No bad news)
If you're gonna bring me something
Bring me, something I can use
But don't you bring me no bad news
No bad news (No bad news)
No bad news (No bad news)
Now don't nobody bring me no bad news (No bad news)
'Cause I'll make you an offer, child
That you cannot refuse
So don't you bring me no bad news
'Cause I'll make you an offer, child
That you cannot refuse
So don't you bring me no bad news
No bad news (No bad news)
No bad news (No bad news)
Now don't nobody bring me no bad news (No bad news)
'Cause I'll make you an offer, child
That you cannot refuse
So don't you bring me no bad news
Don't you bring me
Don't you bring me
Don't you bring me
Don't you bring me
Don't you bring me
Don't you bring me
Don't you bring me
No bad news
