Yeah, oh yeah!
Oh, said I, I'm comin' out to get you
Oh, sit down, I'm comin' out to find you
Oh, yeah
Oh yeah
Findin' my way!

I've been gone so long
I've lost count of the years
Well, I sang some sad songs
Oh yes, and cried some bad tears

Look out! I'm comin', whoa, whoa
Look out! I'm comin', whoa, yeah

I'm runnin', finding my way back home
Oh yeah!

Yeah, oh, yeah!
Oh, said I, I'm comin' back to look for you
Oh, sit down, I'm goin' by the back door
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Findin' my way!

You've done me no right
But you've done me some wrong
Left me lonely each night
While I sing my sad song

Look out! I'm comin', whoa, whoa
Look out! I'm comin', whoa, yeah

I'm runnin', findin' my way back home

I'm comin
Oh, babe, I said I'm runnin
Whoa, babe, I said I'm comin' to get you, mama
Said I'm runnin'

Oh, babe, I said I'm comin' for you, babe. I said I'm runnin
Oh, yes, babe, I said I'm comin' to get you, babe
I said I'm comin
Oh, yeah

I'm findin', I'm findin' my way back home
Well, I've had it for now, livin' on the road
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

Findin' my way!

I'm runnin' here, I'm runnin' there
I'm lookin' for a girl
Cause there's nothin' I need, there's nothin' I want more
In the whole wide world

Well, I need it quick and I need it now
Before I start to fade away
That's why I'm searchin', that's why I'm lookin
Each and ev'ry day

Oh, I need some love
I said I need some love
Oh yes, I need some love
This feelin' I can't rise above
Oh, yeah

Well, I been hustlin' here, I been hustlin' there
I been searchin' for about a week
And I started feelin' this strange sensation
My knees are startin' gettin' weak

Well, I need what keeps a young man alive
I'm sayin' I need it now
I'm gonna get the message across to you
Some way, some how

Oh, I need some love
I said I need some love
Oh yes, I need some love
This feelin' I can't rise above
Oh, yeah.

Well, I'm lookin' at you
And I'm wond'rin' what you're gonna do
Looks like you got no friends
No one to stick with you till the end

Take yourself a friend
Keep 'em till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good
So good

Yes, you think you're all right
But now you're lonely ev'ry night
Well, you need a friend
Someone on whom you can always depend

Take yourself a friend
Keep 'em till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good
So good

Yes, you need some advice
Well, let me put it to you nice
I said you need a friend
Someone who'll stick with you to the end

Take yourself a friend
Keep 'em till the end
Whether woman or man
It makes you feel so good
So good.

I said I played this song so many times before
That the melody keeps repeating
Growing new ideas, flowing chords and notes
Like a mountain river bleeding

Well, I say as I look back at all the thoughts I've had
They reflect just what I'm learning
Yes, you know that the hardest part, yes, I say it is to stay on top
On top of a world forever churning

Well, you say you can laugh, but I can see that your eyes are glass
Well, do you see, can't you see, what I'm feeling?
Yes, I've seen your face before
Why, I've seen it everywhere
Showing up to me without a scent revealing

Well, I said will it ever change?
Will it stay the same?
I'd surely like to know before it's over
Well, I said I played some
I said it won't be long
Won't be long before I stop and play it over

You know I've, I've seen your face before
Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?
Oh, I've, I've been in one place too long
Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?

Well, I see you standin' there
With your finger in the air
Everything we do, you wanna leave it up to you

Who do you think you are?
You think you are a star?
Tryin' to run the town
Always tryin' to put us down

Well, you think that you're right
You think you're out of sight
Tell me something, mister
Why'd you have to make us so uptight?

Well, you say you've been tryin'
You know that you're lyin'
I think you need some groovin'
Who do you think you're foolin', now?

Well, you better start changin'
Your life needs rearrangin'
You better do some talkin'
Or you better do some walkin' now

Yeah, you think that you're right
You think you're out of sight
Tell me something, mister
Why'd you have to make us so uptight?

I know what you're doing
All that you been doin' wrong
I don't know what you're feelin'
Oh, but you been feelin' long

Well, you think that you're right
Tell me something, mister
Why'd you have to make us so uptight

Hey, now, baby
Well, I like your smile
Won't you come and talk to me
For a little while?

Well, you're makin' me crazy
The way you roll them eyes
Won't you come and sit with me?
I'll tell you all my lies

Hey, baby, it's a quarter to eight
I feel I'm in the mood
Hey baby, the hour is late
I feel I've got to move

Well, hey, now, baby
Don't you talk so fast
I'm just tryin' to make these good times
I'm tryin' to make it last

Everything's getting hazy
Now honey, where'd you go?
I just want to find out, baby
Where'd you learn what you know?

Hey, baby, it's a quarter to eight
I feel I'm in the mood
Hey baby, the hour is late
I feel I've got to move

Well, hey, now, baby
I said I like your style
You really got me, baby
Way down deep inside

Oh, you drive me crazy
Baby, you're the one
I just want to rock and roll you woman
Until the night is gone

Hey, baby, it's a quarter to eight
I feel I'm in the mood
Hey baby, the hour is late
I feel I've got to move

Love won't see me comin
On a Sunday noon today
Still don't believe we're fadin
But now the world should wait

And now you're finally listenin
To what I have to say
Well, the time is right
And it is today

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Maybe we could talk about it
And try to get it straight
After all these years, baby
Maybe it's too late

But I really need to
Have you by my side
And that's the only feelin
Baby, I can't hide

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well you aren't listenin'
I ain't talkin'
We ain't gettin' nowhere

I keep tryin' to get through to you baby
All you do is stare

I don't wanna see that
I need you by my side
Well, I don't want to be your lover
Babe, I wanna be your man

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, now my story's over, baby
And I ain't gonna tell it twice
Well, you better start listenin
Or get out of my life

Or you're gonna be left out
I said left out in the cold
Yeah, before you get my lovin
Babe, you'll be too old

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, I'm talkin' to you baby
Well, I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin
Yes, I'm workin' all the time

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the working man

They call me the working man
I guess that's what I am

I get home at five o'clock
And I take myself out a nice, cold beer
Always seem to be wonderin
Why there's nothin' goin' down here

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the working man

Well, they call me the working man
I guess that's what I am.
