If I could only be sure that you love me baby If I could only be sure that you love me darling I'd climb the highest mountains, I'd swim the deepest sea I'd take on all your misery to make you happy I'd turn my world upside down I'd turn my smile back into frowns I'd do anything at all If you'd only let me love you baby Just to let me love you baby If I could read your mind so you love me darling If I could read your heart so you never leave me There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you I'd give my life for you baby, yes I would I'd turn my world upside down I'd turn my smile back into frowns I'd do anything at all If you'd only let me love you baby Let me, let me love you baby I'd turn my world upside down I'd turn my smile all into frowns I'd do anything at all If you'd only let me love you baby Just to let me, let me love you baby Let me love you baby Let me, let me love you baby (Love you baby) (Just to love you baby)

We're caught in a trap I can't walk out Because I love you too much, baby Why can't you see What you're doing to me When you don't believe a word I say? We can't go on together With suspicious minds (suspicious minds) And we can't build our dreams On suspicious minds So, if an old friend I know Stops by to say hello Would I still see suspicion in your eyes? Here we go again Asking where I've been You can't see the tears are real I'm crying (Yes, I'm crying) We can't go on together With suspicious minds (suspicious minds) And we can't build our dreams On suspicious minds Oh, let our love survive Or dry the tears from your eyes Let's don't let a good thing die When, honey, you know I've never lied to you Mmm, yeah, yeah We're caught in a trap I can't walk out Because I…

Never liked nobody That's been mean to me I've got a heart full of stone And I hate the misery Then you came along Into my life Destroying my mind Mounting up the toil and strife But I'm a fool for you I'm a fool for you I'm a fool for you I'm a fool for you Guess I'll always be And I claim it famously 'Cause I'm a fool for you It's a doggone shame Knowin' you don't love me You go on and use me So continuously I don't know why I love you like I do When you're breaking my heart And you know it's true But I'm a fool for you I'm a fool for you I'm a fool for you I'm a fool for you Doggin' me every day But child, I'm here to stay 'Cause I'm a fool for you You don't want me to stay But I'm a fool for you Do me wrong now every day Child, I'm a fool for you I'm a fool for you Child, I'm a fool for you I'm a fool for you

I seen a hand, I seen a vision It was reaching through the clouds, To risk a dream A shadow cross the sky And it crushed into the ground, Just like a beast The old man's back again The old man's back again I seen a woman, standing in the snow She was silent as she watched them take her man Teardrops burned her cheeks For she thought she'd heard, The shadow had left this land The old man's back again The old man's back again The crowds just gathered, their faces turned away And they queue all day like dragons of disgust All the women whispering Wondering just what these young hot-heads want of us And entres vie he cries With eyes that ring like chimes His anti-worlds go spinning through his head He burns them in his dreams For half awake they may as well be dead The old man's back again I see he's back again I see a soldier, He's standing in the rain For him there's no old man to walk behind Devoured by his pain Bewildered by the faces who pass him by He'd like another name the one he's got's a curse These people cried Why can't they understand His mother called him Ivan then she died The old man's back again The old man's back again I can see him back again

(Ohhh doh doh doh doh dohdo) Am I a good man? Am I a fool? Am I weak?! Or am I just playing it cool? I have a woman; And I know she's no good But still, I keep my head up high, and try to do the things that a good man should (woahhh) Am I good man? (Am I good man?) Am I a fool? (Am I a fool?) Am I weak? (No) Somebody tell me; Or playin' it cool? (Ohh) She has made, my whole life a mess; But still I work day and night for her; (woah) So she can always have the best. (hey hey) Am I a good man? (Am I a good man?) Am I a fool. (Am I a fool?) Am I weak?! Somebody tell me; Or am I just playin' it cool? (You know what?) The best of her love she gives, to someone else; But still before I hurt the little girl, (woah) I would rather hurt myself Does it make me a good man? Am I a good man? Am I a good man? Am I a good man? Somebody tell me (woah) Am I a good man? (Ohh) She's made (She's made) My whole life a mess; But still I work day and night for her, (woah) So she can always have the best (hey hey) Am I good man? (Am I good man?) Am I a fool? (Am I a fool?) Am I weak?! Somebody tell me; (Am I weak?) Or am I just playin' it cool? (Am I playing it cool?) You know I love her (woah, I love her); And I need her, even though she do me so wrong Am I just too blind to see; Maybe I've been in love too long? (hey hey) Am I a good man? Am I a fool? Somebody tell me; Am I a good man

I fell in love with you before the second show Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear But you're not really here, it's just the radio Don't you remember, you told me you loved me baby? You said you'd be coming back this way again baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby I love you, I really do Loneliness is such a sad affair And I can hardly wait to be with you again What to say to make you come again? Come back to me again and play your sad guitar Don't you remember, you told me you loved me baby? You said you'd be coming back this way again baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby I love you, I really do

Did you ever know how it is to be hurt Did you ever feel, ever feel like dirt Tell me did you give up all your pride? Just to have her by your side If you don't know, if you don't know what I'm talking About You don't know nothing, you don't know nothing about Love And when the night time comes do your tears fall like Rain And when the morning comes do they start all over Again? Tell me did you get down, down on your knees and pray That she'd never, that she'd never go away If you don't know, if you don't know what I'm talking About, Man, you don't know nothing about love Oh, don't you try and tell me, don't try and tell me That I'm out of my mind For wherever that girl goes, I'll be standing right Behind
