"I Don't Give A Damn"
1994 Space Songs Ltd.

I went talkin' to my woman, I had to tell her where its at
I said you quit draggin' me around girl, I ain't that kind of cat
I said, I expect some respect - so what you think of that !

She said, I don't give a damn - I am what I am
I don't give a damn - I am what I am
No matter what you say, I'm gonna do it anyway
Because I don't give a damn

She said, now you listen to me babe - that's alright for you
You swarming around with that band of yours,
I don't know what you been up to
But you expect me to be sittin' here,
Like a good woman when you get home -
Well you got another thing coming !

I said, I don't give a damn - I am what I am
I don't give a damn - I am what I am
No matter what you say, I'm gonna do it anyway
Because I don't give a damn

She said, now you wait a minute buster - I'm gonna give you a clue
If you don't get your ass back home tonight,
Then you and me are through
And if you don't take my advice - you know what you can do !

I said, I don't give a damn - I am what I am
Well, I don't give a damn - I am what I am
No matter what you say, I'm gonna do it anyway
Because I don't give a damn
I don't give a damn now baby !

I don't give a damn - I am what I am
Well, I don't give a damn - I am what I am
No matter what you say, I'm gonna do it anyway
Because I don't give a damn

"I Wanted To Boogie"
1974 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.

Well I wanted to boogie so we got in the car
Well I wasn't too choosy but then soon we got far
So we stopped in a club and we had us a drink
Well it wasn't too long and just what do you think

Well I wanted to boogie and the band they came on
They were both very pretty but I don't like the song
So I went for a walk and I followed the sound
And I came to a party and a lady I found

Well she smiled real sweet and she said you're a peach
So she wanted to take me for a walk on the beach
And she told me the breeze as it come from the sea
Keeps your hard on all night and you can meet it with me
Whew !

Well I wanted to boogie but I wasn't too sure
I f I wanted to do just what she wanted me for
So I said I'm with friends and I havn't a dime
So she turned 'round and said, well come and see me some time

Well I wanted to boogie so we kept on the move
And we looked for a place, we could go in and groove
So we went to the Playboy and we hadn't got keys
So it cost thirty dollars just to go in and freeze

So I wanted to boogie but the hadn't come
We decided to sleep and then get up with the sun
So we headed for home and it didn't take long
So I sat on my bed and then I wrote out this song

Boogie, boogie - My,my,my,my - my,my - Wow !
Boogie, boogie, yeah ! - Wow ! - My,my,my,my,my,my - Whew !

When you call me your lover, It's alright

A fool that can't love her
A fool that can't get love
A fool that loves you

My life is driftin' - Believe that it's waste
I see your face callin' me home
Callin' me home
Make me aware, know that you care

When you call me your lover, It's alright
Won't let them no how I feel
You can take any other, It's alright
Won't let it show how I feel
Show how it feels, lord lord lord
Wanta show how it feels, oh oh
Just tryin' to show how it feels

Images shifting, Nothin' is real

My life is driftin, Must I efface
Driftin' in haste - Is callin' me home
Call-callin' me home
Make me aware, know that you care

I'm Gonna Make It
(2003 Space Songs)

When I reach the promised land
with my guitar in my hand
all the doors will open wide
with my baby by my side
and as far as I can see
I guess the world belongs to me

But the world is made of dust
and my guitar starts to rust
and the entropy goes on
but you say it won't last long
so I'm lying at your feet
seems you never miss a beat

So I play my guitar
That's my guiding star
through the cosmos I will blast
Through the universe so vast
so as far as I can see
Until I reach infinity

I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it
gonna make it
Gonna take it
Gonna shake it
anytime with you

I wasn't born to be too mild
I was a revolution child
I played the game for all to see
they couldnt' stop me feelign free
it never hurts to take a chance
I'll play the music you just dance

I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it
If you fake it dont' you shake it
Gonna make it anytime with me

I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it with you (yeah)

Well if you don't believe me then you'd better be aware
I don't want to love someone who doesn't really care
If you take it you can make it to the end of the line
and that us when I'll know that you are mine all mine
and if you want to help me you can carry my load
If you make it you can take it to the end of the road

I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it
gonna make it gonna take it
gonna shake it anytime with you

"It Don't Come Easy"
1992 Space Songs, Warner Chappell Ltd.

Well it don't come easy and it don't come quick
And your hands get greasy and your mind gets sick
And your heart starts pumping and your blood gets thin
And you keep on loosing when you want to win

Well you keep on pushing just to free your mind
Got to keep on looking if you want to find
All the dreams you're seeking what you're thinking of
Better come to me 'cause you need some love

Well it don't come easy and it don't come quick
And your mind gets sleazy and your tongue gets slick
And your heart gets harder and the air gets thin
And you keep on loosing when you want to win

Well you keep on moving cause you can't stand still
And you keep on climbing to another hill
And the road gets longer and you see no end
Better come to me 'cause you need a friend

Well it's a gas, the way you thrill me
Well it's a gas, the way you treat me

There ain't nothin' I can say - that'll change the world today

Keep truckin' and payin' my dues - cause it's all right now
Well it's all right - it's all right now
Well it's all right - it's all right now

Don't know and I never will - politicians make me ill
Might as well let the world hang still - cause it's all right now
There's no need to scream and shout - just live it, without a doubt
World's troubles, can leave me out - cause it's all right now
Well it's all right - Well it's all...........all right now

Don't need a society - just prove that I am free
Won't you smile, and leave me be - cause it's all right now
Don't worry about my soul - don't need to have a goal

Well it's all right - it's all right now
Well it's all right - it's all right now
Well its........all........right.........now !

"It's Getting Harder"
1974 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.

It's getting harder, babe, to love you,
It's getting harder all the while.
And if you want me, tell me; all you have to do is smile.
It's been a long time since I've seen you,
Looking straight into my eyes.
And if you want to leave me, it'll come as no surprise.
I tried to hard - to make a home for you.
Tell me straight now, what am I supposed to do ?

It's getting harder, girl, to love you,
'Cause you're treating me so cruel.
But if it's over, tell me; I don't want to be the fool.
I tried too hard - to work our problems out.
So if it's over, honey please don't drag it out.

It's getting harder, babe, to love you,
'Cause our lives have grown apart.
If you don't want me, tell me; I don't want to break your heart.
I tried too hard - to make a home for you.
Tell me straight now, what am I supposed to do ?

It's getting harder, babe, to love you;
Tell Me what you want with me.
If you don't love me, tell me,
Honey, then I'll set you free.

"I've Been There Too"
1971 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.

There's someone somewhere - who can't go on;
Their life is cryin', it's all gone wrong.
What can I say now - to help you get through,
Except to say that, I've been there too ?
You got to wake up, shake up, you got a right to live;
Shake up, don't break up, you've got a lot to give.

Your soul is achin' - you can't see it through;
But time is healin', each day you do.
Keep on lookin' forward - forget the past;
It's up to you now, don't let it last.
You got to wake up, shake up, you got a right to live;
Shake up, don't break up, you've got a lot to give.

You'll wake up one mornin' - you start to feel good;
The sun in the blue sky, looks like it should.
'Cause time is a healer - it's strange but it's true;

You got to wake up, shake up, you got a right to live;
Shake up, don't break up, you've got a lot to give.
