Oh Camellia won't you take me away After the show, when the room was empty No, he wouldn't go So I asked him why he called her name It seems she was some magic one night With something for his pain But all she left was a pretty name... Oh Camellia won't you take me away To paradise tropical moon Don't you leave me sitting here in Atlanta SARA SMILE (Daryl Hall/John Oates) Baby hair with a woman's eyes I can feel you watching in the night All alone with me and we're waiting for the sunlight When I feel cold you warm me When I feel I can't go on you come and hold me It's you... And me forever Sara Smile Won't you smile a while for me If you feel like leaving you know you can go But why don't you stay until tomorrow? And if you want to be free, all you have to do is say so When you feel cold, I'll warm you And when you feel you can't go on, I'll come and hold you It's you... And me forever Sara Smile Won't you smile a while for me ALONE TOO LONG (John Oates) Just a little boy lost looking for a lamb in the all night city Living in his lonely limousine And though he never has to worry He's the only one and only one he's ever gonna need Absolutely he's in definite need Of a woman, child, and some better kind of love when the hot town's hurt him And he knows how happy he could be But he don't know if he can make it Between the money and another lonely night But now the time has come Got to stay or run Now the time has come Oh maybe we've been Alone Too Long And you don't want to be lonely Another pretty face another body ache still awake three-thirty Dial another number -- No one home So he wastes his time with TV And he wonders if he lost the only one And wonders if he's free Too afraid to see How alone he could be Oh maybe we've been Alone Too Long And you don't want to be lonely OUT OF ME, OUT OF YOU (Daryl Hall/John Oates) I need you more than anyone else in the world But what you need more than me is the help I can give to you girl That's what you need You can make it happen I can show you the way, and help you to say What you're feeling inside Lower your shield is it's real and you feel it Then what can come out of me Can come out of you The love that comes from me Can come out of you Can't you see that this game that you're playing with me Is holding you back Black or white? Shades of gray are more like it you know So let yourself go You can make it happen I can show you the way, and help you to say What you're feeling inside Lower your shield is it's real and you feel it Then what can come out of me Can come out of you The love that comes from me Can come out of you NOTHING AT ALL (Daryl Hall/Sandy Allen) All the things that used to mean a lot to me Don't matter anymore Ain't no surprises, and we're too young To come to that Oh time has a way of lessening love You know that's true... Nothing at all We spent last night like every night Sitting and staring I wish we could fight at least That would be something Time has a way of lessening love You know that's true So don't bother listening anymore darling 'Cause I'm writing my last song about you Nothing at all You don't say nothing 'Cause there ain't nothing at all GINO (THE MANAGER) (Daryl Hall/John Oates) You've got Sicilian imagination Second generation And a long way from the family crime But you've got your own way Sign on the line, sign on the line, on the line You're a patent leather lover With you're Gucci-Pucci pointed shoes And you're swearing on your mother That "all this could be yours" Sign on the line, sign on the line, on the line Remember hard work means something Live fast, die laughing No hurt in asking Nothing for nothing Gino no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no! You've got Contractual Agitation Transcendental meditation works fine But now you're paying off the Guru Get to Heaven "on time" Sign on the line, sign on the line, on the line Remember hard work means something Live fast, die laughing No hurt in asking Nothing for nothing You couldn't live without little Gino, no That's what he tells me, little Gino, no You couldn't live without little Gino, no That's what he tells me, little Gino, no no IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE (Daryl Hall/Sandy Allen) I've been used to seeing the world with the eyes of two Now you're gone, no more window shopping with you Guess I'll spend another day walking around But don't think that I'm sorry babe, don't you think that I'm down 'Cause you know it doesn't matter, you know it doesn't matter anymore And that's what I'm here to tell you You know it doesn't matter, yes it doesn't matter anymore I've been used, you might say that I've been misused But I'm not gonna feel bad for myself even though I've been bruised, so bruised Guess I'll spend another day walking around But don't think that I'm sorry babe, don't you think that I'm down 'Cause you know it doesn't matter, you know it doesn't matter anymore And that's what I'm here to tell you You know it doesn't matter, yes it doesn't matter anymore ENNUI ON THE MOUNTAIN (Daryl Hall/John Oates) We don't need a whole lot of money We don't need a Cadillac car What we need is a mountain in Montana A thousand acre world for the roadies and the girls But you need a whole lot of money Lots of loot, to tell you the troot' Oh, we know what's good but we love what's bad And it'd be ennui on the mountain anyway Oh I don't know if it's high or low But it's round and round and round and round we go I don't know what I need Everyday we try to get higher Any way to the dream at the end AM airplay and a golden concept album So they pay for what you say And they hang on every word You and me are just Ponce de Leon-y Looking for something we ain't never gonna find Oh, we know what's good but we love what's bad And it'd be ennui on the mountain anyway Oh I don't know if it's high or low But it's round and round and round and round we go GROUNDS FOR SEPARATION (Daryl Hall) Tin can sound and a dead-eyed crowd Can turn a sane man crazy and a crazy man sad I can fight with the best, but I can only go so many rounds And that's grounds for separation Preparation for better things Gonna grow a new set of wings And fly away Robot action, conditioned response Manufacture feeling like the Tool and Die I can turn it on but I'm holding back the guarantee And that's grounds for separation Preparation for better things Gonna grow a new set of wings And fly away Music, it's my life and I've got it in me But isn't it a bit like oxygen, 'cause too much will make you high But not enough will make you die So I gotta keep it under control SOLDERING (Beckford & Ranglin) Soldering it's what the young girl wants Soldering Soldering it's what the young girl needs Soldering She says she don't want the young buy, The young boy drink too much white rum She says she don't want the soul man, 'Cause soul man fall asleep in bed She says she don't want the dread lock 'Cause dread lock smoke too much Haile Soldering it's what the young girl wants Soldering When you check it out the young boy is undecided And the dread lock is getting natty groove While the old man he's watching them move And the soul boy he start to prove Soldering it's what the young girl wants Soldering Soldering it's what the young girl needs Soldering Oh young girl want soldering
