Oh darling, it's going to be late when I get back home
Can't wait 'til I get back home, you don't want me
Reeling and rocking night all around town
Walking and talking night all around town
Just rolling and rocking night all around town
Let another man take you home
Let another man take you home
And now the air is clear, my dear,
And you're still here, and so,
With a certain surprise,
I'll give you my eyes;
Sweet certain surprise.
If you kissed the sun right out of the sky for me;
If you told me all the lies I might deserve.
If you lay all night in the rain for me, *)
Well, I couldn't love you more.
I just couldn't love you more,
I couldn't love you more.
Well the man upstairs always lends an ear
To the man downstairs, even though he doesn't care
The man up the spiral staircase would love to sympathize
With the man downstairs and the same old phrase
Big Muff,
Standing on the corner, got myself in hand;
Waiting for the 'come-on' from the come-around-man.
Smiling stranger,
smiling stranger every day;
Smiling stranger,
Smiling stranger every day.
Some of us live like princes,
Some of us live like queens.
Most of us live just like me
And we don't know what it means,
To take our place in one world.
To make our peace in one world.
To make our way in one world,
To have our say in one world.
Well I cannot be your lover, and I will not be your friend.
Well I know you say you need me, but I have no time to spend.
We could talk like this for hours; I just end up getting bored,
'Cause no-one needs a dealer just the day before a score.
[Black man at your shoulder]
[One, two,
Close to each other
One, two, three, four,
One]
Have you seen,
Seen the black man
At your shoulder,
Coming closer and closer,
With every passing day.
Died on a plane, no pain, got nowhere to go
Broken black days you talked to the radio
Man by your side says he's trying to understand
But you're sick to your soul 'cause you know that he don't give a damn
Anni, bring it on home to me,
Sweet Anni, bring it on home.
Anni, bring it on home to me,
Sweet Anni, bring it on home.
Anni, bring it on home to me,
Sweet Anni, bring it on home.
Anni, bring it on home to me,
Anni, bring it on home.
