The One Thing
03:19

|

I've got plenty of friends
to keep me company.
I've got plenty of friends
who hang around.
I've got plenty of friends
who all just love me.
I've got plenty of friends
to keep around.
But the one thing
that I don't have
is you.
I spend all my money
on diamond rings,
fancy cars,
just anything.
I like the sparkle,
I like the shine!
I like seeing a thing
and makin' it mine!
But the one thing
that I don't have—
I don't have you.
I've got everything
a man could ask for.
I've got everything
a man could need,
but the one thing
that I really want
I would beg for
down on my knees;
because that one thing
that I don't have—
I don't have it...
No one's got a love
no, not like I do!
So don't you every leave me
I'm stuck like glue to you!
Because the one thing
that I really want
is to give up
all of my love to you.
You're the one thing
that I don't have...
yes, you.

Do me no wrong
Just do me right
Do me no wrong
You'd better be here
all through the night
'Cause I won't be givin' you, honey
Just what you need
Until you say you're stayin'
Here with me.
(Everybody listen now...)
Now I give you money,
All you want.
So here's my lovin'
But you don't want it.
Well, I'll give you credit
'Cause you've got nerve!
But you better give me
What I have earned!
You'd better,
Do me no wrong
Just do me right
Do me no wrong
You'd better be here
most every night
'Cause I won't be tellin' you, baby
The same thing twice
So come on make a little
Sacrifice.
(Let's talk about the other man now...)
Well he picks you up
In his fine car
And he treats you sweet
With caviar
But you better stop, now baby
Where you are
Think what you're doin'
To my heart!
My baby says she's gonna leave me
But she's got it wrong.
'Cause when I'm with her every evening -
I've got to, to hold on!
If she leaves I won't know what to do
If she leaves I won't know what to do
You'd better
Do me no wrong
Just do me right
Do me no wrong
Just do me right
I've got to, to hold on!
Rpt. chorus to end.

You
Cross my mind
Seven times a day
I
can’t unwind
I wish that you would go away
You
take up my mind
obsessing with a schoolboy crush
Oops!
clean up time
another accidental touch.
I changed my body,
changed my mind,
my personality
I changed my job
and my address
but you still won’t come with me [[but you still don’t notice me]]
I
waste my time
watching from the outside in
How
I would like
to offer you a little skin
You
are so fine
a look from you can make me blush
I
I like your mind,
but give me your X-Rated touch.
I pierced my nose
and dyed my hair
I changed from him to she,
I changed my sign
and my routine
but you still won’t come with me
You
cross my mind
a million times a day
I
can’t unwind
I wish that you would come my way
I changed my name
and changed my locks
and changed my destiny
I changed my color
I changed my plans
and changed my pedigree
I changed my clothes
changed all my friends,
and changed my history
I changed my money
and changed the game
and you still won’t!
Ha!

Radio

Why can't I shake this sense of desperation
It's all presiding since the separation
I want you back now, there's no time for question
Please honey, hurry, now I've learned my lesson
I try to phone you but there's no connection
I'd send a wire but you've no reception
The time without you always seems to stand still
So I sit down and look back and turn on my radio
Radio
Please receive!
And tell me, o tell me,
Tell me where she can be
The days and hours seem to run together
I keep on wondering if you're gone forever
Now did you leave me just to watch my heart break?
Tell me, o tell me, just how much can one man take?
Radio
Please receive!
And tell me, o tell me,
Tell me where she can be
I've been thinking of a plan
To get you back again
Why won't you hear my plea?
Forget the past and please come back to me
The message that I'm sending on the airwaves
Your local DJ will be playing your way
This whole misunderstanding I can't fathom
So I sit down and look back and turn on my radio.

Never Give In
05:18

Now the party’s over,
take your hat and
hang it on the wall.
You can count their numbers,
the casualties of
all the men at call.
It’s a wasted effort,
no matter how you try,
you’re second best…
All the hateful mothers,
too sorry for themseles
to help the rest.
Strive for truth and justice
don’t turn your back,
they’ll push you to the wall.
There are no survivors,
still your daddies preach
the wartime call…
Never Give In
Were you blind with passion?
Break the silence now,
or we’ll go mad.
Push and pull asylum.
Think of all the profit
we could have.
Break
Now your party’s over,
take your badge
and hang it on the wall.
You were in the numbers,
the ones who stood so proud
when duty called.
Are we helpless victims,
or simply just too blind
to take command?
We’ve no use for freedom,
a better point
with little time at hand.
Never Give In.
