The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

WOULDN’T it be nice if we were older?
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?
You know it's gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new?
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray
It might come true
Baby, then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
Oh, we could be married (oh, we could be married)
And then we'd be happy (and then we'd be happy)
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let's talk about it
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby

If I fell in love with you
WOULD you promise to be true
And help me
Understand
'Cause I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just
Holding hands
If I give my heart
To you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you
Would love me more than her
If I trust in you
Oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too
Oh please
Don't hurt my pride like her
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I
Would be sad
If our new love was in vain
So I hope you see
That I
Would love to love you
And that she
Will cry
When she learns we are two
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I
Would be sad
If our new love was in vain
So I hope you see
That I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you...

For I must be traveling on, now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see
But if I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same

And this bird you cannot change
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And the bird you cannot change

Lord knows I can't change
Bye-bye, baby, it's been a sweet love, yeah-yeah

WOULD I lie to you honey? (oh, no, no no)
Now WOULD I say something that wasn't true?
I'm asking you sugar, WOULD I lie to you?
My friends know what's in store
I won't be here anymore

Watch me walking
Walking out the door
(Believe me) I'll make it, make it
(Believe me) I'll make it, make it
WOULD I lie to you?

To your face, no deception
You're the biggest fake
That much is true
Had all I can take
Now I'm leaving you

WOULD I lie to you?

SUNSHINE girl I'm leaving soon
I'll be back some day
Sunshine girl I feel your eyes on me
Your looks excite me
I wonder can it be
Do you invite me
To hold you tightly
How you delight me
My sunshine girl
Tonight, tonight, and every night I wanna be beside you
Tonight, tonight, and every night
I'll be the one to guide you
As the wind blows gently on the blue lagoon I'll hide you sunshine girl
My sunshine girl
Sunshine girl, now I must go away
'Cause this was only a summer holiday
But one day, I'll be returning, you'll see
Across the blue sea my sunshine girl
Tonight, tonight, and every night I wanna dream about you
Tonight, tonight, and every night
How can I live without you
When I'm home, then everyone will hear about
My little sunshine girl, my sunshine girl

SUNSHINE on my shoulders makes me happy
SUNSHINE in my eyes can make me cry
SUNSHINE on the water looks so lovely
SUNSHINE almost always makes me high
If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you a day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way
SUNSHINE on my shoulders makes me happy
SUNSHINE in my eyes can make me cry
SUNSHINE on the water looks so lovely
SUNSHINE almost always makes me high

You are the SUNSHINE of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart
I feel like this is the beginning
Though I've loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears, whoa, oh, oh
You are the sunshine of my life, yeah
That's why I'll always stay around, mmm, mmm, yeah, yeah
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart
You must have known that I was lonely
Because you came to my rescue
And I know that this must be heaven
How could so much love be inside of you?
Whoa, whoa
You are the SUNSHINE of my life, yeah
That's why I'll always stay around, mmm (baby)
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart, yeah
You are the sunshine of my life, baby
That's why I'll always stay around
Six cheap people in an empty hotel
Every last one with a story to sell
Give them all pills, so their heads won't swell
We were born to a woman whose husband did quite well
Oh sunshine, shone brightly
Through my window today
Could have tripped out quite easy but I decided to stay
"Hold out your hand" said whitey with the blame
I'm gonna bring you up so you really dig the pain
Take you under my wings so you'll never be the same
'Cos your wife is so much older and both her legs are lame
A sunbeam shone brightly through my window today
Could have gone twenty miles but I decided to stay...
Uh, all my flock has packed up and flocked back off to hell
Open up the doors so the place don't start to smell
Carry on with what your doing 'cos you don't to it that well
I've been umpteen different people and no one else can tell
Oh, sunshine shines brightly through my asshole today
Could have tripped out quite easy, man, but I decided to stay
To stay a while
To stay a while
Come up and see me make me smile
Come up and see me make me smile
On the sunshine
In the morning
It's the dawning, baby
Of a brand-new precious day
And in the evening
Take it easy
You can always do tomorrow
What you cannot do today
In the morning light
Don't it feel alright
You can always shoot the messenger
The moment they arrive
And in the evening rain
Coming round again
You can always count your blessings, babe
Before the fowl has laid
And though it's hard to see
Like the leaves from the trees
You can shake the monkey from your back
The circus never leaves
And in the morning light
All that wasted time
'Cause it's only in the darkness
That the stars begin to shine
And in the faded light
All the angels sing
When you reach the ends of all your lines
Then tie a knot and swing
And save your bleedin' soul
Save your bleedin' soul
If youth is wasted on the young
Then wisdom on the old
And let it go
Come on, let it roll
State of mind
State of mind
State of mind
On the sunshine
In the morning light
You can feel the dawning, baby
Of a brand-new precious day
And in the evening
Take it easy
You can always fix tomorrow
What you can't pull off today
And take it easy
All these wasted years
Celebrate your finest
And the music of the spheres
And take it easy
Take it easy
Take the monkey from your back
The circus never leaves
And let it go
Let it go
If youth is wasted on the young
Then wisdom on the old
And take it easy
Take it easy
Open up that golden gate
And let it all arrive
Let it roll
Easy
State of mind
State of mind
State of mind
Let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll
Wet winter left me cold and crying
Beaten black and blue
Someone said there's no harm in trying
Nothing else to do
I'm just a-walking in the sunshine
Leave your troubles all behind you
I think I'll drink a little red wine
I'll take you where they'll never find you
Sad songs, well I've heard too many
Words that didn't rhyme
Hard years never had a penny
But we can spend the time
Just a-walking in the sunshine
Try to keep from going under
I think I'll drink a little red wine
Ain't no use to sit and wonder
As I would say?
Autumn eve and the leaves are falling
'till the trees are bare
Summer's gone I can hear you calling
Haven't got a care
Just a-walking in the sunshine
Leave your troubles behind you
I think I'll drink a little red wine
I'll take you where they'll never find you
Just a-walking in the sunshine
Leave your troubles behind you
I think I'll drink a little red wine
I'll take you where they'll never find you
Just a-walking in the sunshine
Leave your troubles behind you
I think I'll drink a little red wine
I'll take you where they'll never find you
As I would say?
Ow
Mm, yeah
I used to think maybe you loved me, now, baby, I'm sure
And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door
Now every time I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
'Cause I just can't wait till you write me you're coming around
I'm walking on SUNSHINE, whoa
I'm walking on SUNSHINE, whoa
I'm walking on SUNSHINE, whoa
And don't it feel good
Hey, all right now
And don't it feel good
Hey, yeah
I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it's true
And I don't want to spend my whole life just a-waiting for you
Now, I don't want you back for the weekend, not back for a day, no, no, no
I said, baby, I just want you back, and I want you to stay
Oh, yeah, now I'm walking on SUNSHINE, whoa
I'm walking on SUNSHINE, whoa
I'm walking on SUNSHINE, whoa
And don't it feel good
Hey, all right now
And don't it feel good
Yeah, oh, yeah, now

Walking on SUNSHINE

I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that's really real

I met her at the airport, we talked on the plane
She saw that I was downcast and said it was a shame.
I gave her all the reasons for being in despair
She said that explanations won't get you anywhere.
It's not a matter of virtue or the cause you defend
It's only the moments of choice that count in the end.
We get a bit of the good life, a piece of the cake
And enough of the hard times to keep us awake.
It takes the eyes of a woman, the heart of a child
The soul of a gypsy, to cherish the wild,
The eyes of a woman, the heart of a child
The soul of a gypsy, to cherish the wild.
She hit me in a weak spot, I knew that she was right
She said, ``Can you imagine a day without a night?
Good without the evil, is a cob without the corn
It's with the aid of demons that angels can be born
It's not a matter of virtue or the cause you defend
It's only the moments of choice that count in the end.''

Childhood living
Is easy to do
The things you wanted
I bought them for you
Graceless lady
You know who I am
You know I can't let you
Slide through my hands
WILD horses
Couldn't drag me away
WILD, WILD horses
Couldn't drag me away
I watched you suffer
A dull aching pain
Now you've decided
To show me the same
No sweeping exit
Or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter
Or treat you unkind
WILD horses
Couldn't drag me away
WILD, WILD horses
Couldn't drag me away
I know I've dreamed you
A sin and a lie
I have my freedom
But I don't have much time
Faith has been broken
Tears must be cried
Let's do some living
After we die
WILD horses
Couldn't drag me away
WILD, WILD horses
We'll ride them some day
WILD horses
Couldn't drag me away
WILD, WILD horses
We'll ride them some day

You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So, I wrote it in the words of this song
I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one who ever loved you
And went back to the WILD side of life
As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playin'
A song about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are sayin'
It brings mem'ries when I was a trusting wife
It wasn't God who made honky-tonk angels
As you say in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're single
And it's caused many a good girl to go wrong
It wasn't God who made honky-tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
Too many times married men think they're single
And go back to the wild side of life
They go back to the wild side of lifeP
La la la
La la la

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
Baby I'm grieving
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh baby baby it's a WILD world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a WILD world
I'll always remember you like a child girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
'Cause I never want to see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you want leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad everywhere
Oh baby baby it's a WILD world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a WILD world
And I'll always remember you like a child girl yeah
La la la

Baby I love you, but if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad everywhere

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the WILD side."
Said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the WILD side."
Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the WILD side."
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the WILD side."
And the colored girls go
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place
Where they said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the WILD side."
I said, "Hey, Joe,
Take a walk on the WILD side."
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen them go, go, go
They said, "Hey, sugar,
Take a walk on the WILD side."
I said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the WILD side."
All right, huh
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the WILD side."
I said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the WILD side."
And the colored girls say,
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."
I'm just a stranger
With a twisted smile and a wandering eye
Your heart is in danger
Come close now, let me tell you a lie
Wild child
You got me runnin' through the turnstile
Baby girl, we better make it worthwhile
You're gonna get my love today, yeah
You are a sweet dream
With a tender heart and a beautiful smile
But things aren't what they seem
So I'll let you go and dream for a while
Wild child
You got me coming outta exile
Baby girl, you know I'm liking your style
You're gonna get my love today, yeah
I just wanna hold you at the end of every day
Girl, I want to please you, oh, I'm needing you to stay
The sun is gonna shine if you would just come out and play
Baby, won't you show me your wild child ways?
Wild child
You got me runnin' through the turnstile
Baby girl, we better make it worthwhile
You're gonna get my love today, yeah
Wild child
You got me coming outta exile
Baby girl, you know I'm liking your style
You're gonna get my love today, yeah
All right
WILD child full of grace
Savior of the human race
Your cool face
Natural child, terrible child
Not your mother's or your father's child
Your our child, screaming WILD
An ancient lunatic reigns
In the trees of the night
Ha, ha, ha, ha
With hunger at her heels
Freedom in her eyes
She dances on her knees
Pirate prince at her side
Staring into the hollow idol's eye
WILD child full of grace
Savior of the human race
Your cool face
Your cool face
Your cool face
Do you remember when we were in Africa?

Empty Sunday- Francoise Hardy

[Verse 1]
Walked through the STREETS on my own
Empty Sunday at dawn
Six o'clock and you've gone
Grey little square in the town
Empty Sunday alone
Without you, where is home?
[Bridge]
I see your face
I see your smile
I see in the eyes that used to cry
I see the lips I used to kiss
I can't forget
See you standing all alone
I see the things that I did wrong
I see I didn't try enough to give you love
[Verse 2]
Coat on the bench in the park
Empty Sunday is here
Empty day, empty year
[Bridge]
I see your face
I see your smile
I see in the eyes that used to cry
I see the lips I used to kiss
I can't forget
See you standing all alone
I see the things that I did wrong
I see I didn't try enough to give you love

Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out
This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again
And fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again
And fade out again
Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love
I want to run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside
I wanna reach out and touch the flame
Where the STREETS have no name, ha, ha, ha
I wanna feel sunlight on my face
I see that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I wanna take shelter from the poison rain
Where the STREETS have no name, oh, oh
Where the STREETS have no name
Where the STREETS have no name
We're still building then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
The city's a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on the desert plain, yeah
Where the STREETS have no name, oh, oh
Where the STREETS have no name
Where the STREETS have no name
We're still building then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
See our love turn to rust
Oh, we're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Winding your way down on Baker STREET
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about ev'rything
This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now
Way down the STREET there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he'll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about ev'rything
But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin'
'Cause he's rollin', he's the rolling stone
When you wake up, it's a new mornin'
The sun is shinin', it's a new mornin'
You're goin', you're goin' home

There's a crack up in the ceiling
And the kitchen sink is leaking
Out of work and got no money
A Sunday joint of bread and honey
What are we living for?
Two-roomed apartment on the second floor
No money coming in
The rent collector's knocking, tryna get in
We are strictly second class
We don't understand
Why we should be on dead end STREET
(Dead end!) People are living on dead end street
(Dead end!) I'm gonna die on dead end street
Dead end street (yeah!)
Dead end street (yeah!)
On a cold and frosty morning
Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning
And my feet are nearly frozen
Boil the tea and put some toast on

No chance to emigrate
I'm deep in debt and now it's much too late
We both want to work so hard
We can't get the chance

I have often walked
Down the street before,
But the pavement always stayed
Beneath my feet before
All at once am I
Several stories high,
Knowing I'm on the street where you live
Are there lilac trees
In the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour
Out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live
And oh, the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear
People stop and stare
They don't bother me,
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather be
Let the time go by,
I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live

Wanderin' Star - Lee Marvin

I was BORN under a wandrin' star
I was born under a wandrin' star
Wheels are made for rollin'
Mules are made to pack
I've never seen a sight that didn't look better looking back
I was born under a wandrin' star
Mud can make you prisoner, and the plains can bake you dry
Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry
Home is made for comin' from, for dreams of goin' to
Which with any luck will never come true
I was born under a wandrin' star
I was born under a wandrin' star
Do I know where hell is?
Hell is in hello
Heaven is goodbye for ever, it's time for me to go
I was born under a wandrin' star
A wandrin' wandrin' star
When I get to heaven tie me to a tree
Or I'll begin to roam, and soon you know where I will be
I was born under a wandrin' star
A wandrin' wandrin' star
Steppenwolf - Born to be Wild

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born, BORN to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
BORN to be wild
BORN to be wild
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
He was BORN in the summer of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hanging by a song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changing fast and it don't last for long
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby
Rocky Mountain high (Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept the memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
While they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky Mountain high
Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A.
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.A.
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said "son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "son, don't you understand"
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a long gone daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a cool rocking daddy in the U.S.A.

I was BORN in the wagon of a travelin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Picked up a boy just south of Mobile
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
Rode with us to Memphis
And papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
I never had schoolin' but he taught me well
With his smooth southern style
Three months later I'm a gal in trouble
And I haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh
I haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh

You talkin' to the sky babe, I just got to get away, yeah
Got to hear the wind song singin' in my ear
Got to get it on girl and I'll never make it here, yeah
'Cause the wind was my mother, the highway is my brother
I was born to wander and it's time for movin' on
I was born to wander turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone
I'm just followin' my heart girl, and it's followin' the sun
Lookin' for an answer, I know may never come
But I got to chase my dreams girl like a river to the sea
Got to find the rainbow that's waitin' there for me
'Cause the wind was my mother, the highway is my brother
I was born to wander and it's time for movin' on
I was born to wander turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone, gone

Oh, it's time to get down to the real nitty gritty

Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand
I wore hightop shoes and shirt tails
Suzy was in pigtails

You know my papa disapproved it
And Lula boohooed it
But I told them time and time again
Don't you know I was made to love her
Build my world all around her
Everybody say hey, hey, hey
She's been my inspiration
Showed appreciation
For the love I gave her through the years
Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossomed tenderly
My life grew sweeter through the years
I know that my baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we made it through the years
I was made to love her
Worship and adore her
Everybody say hey, hey, hey

All through thick and thin
Our love just won't end
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby
My baby loves me
My baby needs me
And I know I ain't going nowhere
I was knee high to a chicken
And that, oh, love bug bit me
I had a fever with each passing year, yeah
Even if the mountain tumbles
If this whole world crumbles
By her side I'll still be standing there
'Cause I was made to love her

It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were BORN this way, baby
My mama told me when I was young, "We are all BORN superstars"
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on in the glass of her boudoir
"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are"
She said, "'Cause He made you perfect, babe
So hold your head up, girl, and you'll go far"
Listen to me when I say
I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby, I was BORN this way
Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself, and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby, I was BORN this way (BORN this way)
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was BORN this way
Baby, I was BORN this way (BORN this way)
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was BORN this way
Right track, baby, I was BORN this way
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be (don't be, don't be)
Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure, I must be myself, respect my youth
A different lover is not a sin, believe capital H-I-M (hey, hey, hey)
I love my life, I love this record, and
Mi amore vole fe, yah (same DNA)
I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby, I was BORN this way
Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself, and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby, I was BORN this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was BORN this way
Baby, I was BORN this way (BORN this way)
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was BORN this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was BORN this way
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're Black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're Orient'
Whether life's disabilities left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause, baby, you were BORN this way
No matter gay, straight, or bi', lesbian, transgender life
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born to survive
No matter Black, white or beige, chola, or Orient' made
I'm on the right track, baby, I was BORN to be brave
I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby, I was BORN this way
Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself, and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby, I was BORN this way, yeah
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was BORN this way
Baby, I was BORN this way (BORN this way)
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was BORN this way

I was BORN this way, hey
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way, hey
Same DNA, but BORN this way

Trailer's for SALE or rent
Rooms to let, 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road
Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination Bangor, Maine
Old, worn out suit and shoes
I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road
I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
Every lock that ain't locked, when no one's around
I sing, trailers for SALE or rent

Now, I'm a U.S. Male 'cause I was born
In a Mississippi town on a Sunday morn
Now Mississippi just happens to occupy a place
In the southeastern portion of this here United States
Now that's a matter of fact, buddy
And you know it well
So I just call myself the U.S. Male
That's M-A-L-E, son. That's me!
Now I said all that to say all this
I've been watchin' the way
You've been watchin' my miss
For the last three weeks you been hot on her trail
And you kinda upset this U.S. Male
You touch her once with your greasy hands
I'm gonna stretch your neck like a long rubber band
She's wearin' a ring that I bought her on SALE
And that makes her the property of this U.S. Male
You better not mess with the U.S. Male my friend
The U.S. Male gets mad, he's gonna do you in
You know what's good for yourself son
You better find somebody else son
Don't tamper with the property of the U.S. Male
Through the rain and the heat and the sleet and the snow
The U.S. Male is on his toes
Quit watchin' my woman, for that ain't wise
You ain't pullin' no wool over this boy's eyes
I catch you 'round my woman, champ
I'm gonna leave your head 'bout the shape of a stamp
Kinda flattened out, so you'll do well
To quit playin' games with this U.S. Male
You better not mess with the U.S. Male my friend
The U.S. Male gets mad, he's gonna do you in
You know what's good for yourself son
You better find somebody else son
Don't tamper with the property of the U.S. Male
Sock it to me
All right...now I'm gonna tell it like it is son
I catch you messin' 'round with that woman of mine
I'm gonna lay one on ya. You're talkin' to the U.S. Male
The American U.S. Male
How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie's for SALE
I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome
And the doggie will have a good home
How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie's for SALE
I read in the papers there are robbers
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark
I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishies
He can't take a goldfish for a walk
How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie's for SALE

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man!
Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best-selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lenin's on SALE again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man!
Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best-selling show
Is there life on Mars?

Dogs of war and men of hate
With no cause, we don't discriminate
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone
Hell opened up and put on SALE
Gather 'round and haggle
For hard cash, we will lie and deceive
Even our masters don't know the web we weave
One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world, one world
Invisible transfers, long distance calls,
Hollow laughter in marble halls
Steps have been taken, a silent uproar
Has unleashed the dogs of war
You can't stop what has begun
Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion
We all have a dark side, to say the least
And dealing in death is the nature of the beast
One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world, one world
The dogs of war don't negotiate
The dogs of war won't capitulate,
They will take and you will give,
And you must die so that they may live
You can knock at any door,
But wherever you go, you know they've been there before
Well winners can lose and things can get strained
But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain.
One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world, one world

Dessert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies, would you say
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to SALE a contradiction?
You come and go, you come and go
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
Didn't you hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling, our love is strong
When you go, you're gone forever
You string along, you string along
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
Every day is like survival
You're my lover, not my rival
Every day is like survival
You're my lover, not my rival
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sale a contradiction?
You come and go, you come and go
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
