Run That Body Down
Words & music by paul simon
Went to my doctor yesterday
A-a-a-a-ah, she said I seem to be o.k.
A-a-a-a-ah, she said
Paul, you better look around
How long you think that you can
Run that body down?
How many nights you think that you can
Do what you been do-o-in
Who, now who you foolin?
I came back home and I went to bed
Ah, I was resting my head
My wife came in and she said
Whats wrong, sweet boy, whats wrong?
Ah, I told her whats wrong
I said peg, you better look around
How long you think that you can
Run that body down?
How many nights you think that you can
Do what you been do-o-in
Who-o, now, who you foolin?
Kid, you better look around
How long you think that you can
Run that body down?
How many nights you think that you can
Do what you been do-o-in
Who-o, now, who you foolin?
Who-o, now, who you foolin?

Foolin
Lady luck never smiles
So lend your love to me awhile
Do with me what you will
Break the spell take your fill
On and on we rode the storm
The flame has died and the fire has gone
Oh, this empty bed is a night alone
I realized that long ago
Is anybody out there, anybody there
Does anybody wonder, anybody care
Oh, I just gotta know
If youre really there and you really care
Cause baby Im not
F-f-f-foolin, ah f-f-foolin
F-f-f-foolin, ah f-f-foolin
Wont you stay with me awhile
Close your eyes dont run and hide
Easy love is no easy ride
Just wakin up from what we had
Could stop good love from going bad
Is anybody out there, anybody there
Does anybody wonder, anybody care
Oh, I just gotta know
If youre really there and you really care
Cause baby Im not
F-f-f-foolin, ah f-f-foolin

Who Do You Think Youre Foolin
You made it to the bright lights
You only come alive at night
Youre one of the sights
You hang out with those big names
A rising star out on the gain
Thats the price of your fame
(fame is only a dream land away)
Who do you think youre foolin
(youre foolin)
Who do you think you are
Who do you think youre foolin
Youre a star, youre a star
Who do you think youre foolin
(youre foolin)
Who do you think you are
Who do you think youre foolin
Youre a star, such a star, youre a star?
Youre halfway up the ladder
Or are you really halfway down
You never know in this town
But you swear youre gonna make it
And you dont care how you fake your life
Youre gonna make it alright
(fame is only a dream world away)
Who do you think youre foolin
(youre foolin)
Who do you think you are
Who do you think youre foolin
Youre a star, youre a star
Who do you think youre foolin
(youre foolin)
Who do you think you are
Who do you think youre foolin
Youre a star, such a star, youre a star?
Fame is only a dream world away
Fame is only a dream world away
Who do you think youre foolin
(youre foolin)
Who do you think you are
Who do you think youre foolin
Youre a star, youre a star
Who do you think youre foolin

Youre a star, such a star, youre a star?

Whats Wrong With That
I may be rotten to the core
And stop me if you think I am
A kid in a candy store
The same as any dirty old man
I know Im not the first to see
I guarantee Im not the last
So take some good advice from me
Just try it once before you ask
I hear an enticing voice
(live it up, live it up, do it now, boy)
I dont like the other choice
(live it up, live it up)
Chorus:
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with the fountain of youth
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with a little self delusion
Who you think is foolin who
And who will be the last to laugh
Heres another lame excuse
Youre old enough to be her dad
Ive heard all the reasons why
(give it up, give it up, take a powder)
I turn them my blindest eye
(give it up, give it up)
Repeat chorus
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with a flower in bloom
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with a little self delusion
Days dont hide secrets of the heart
Only you and I do
Little white lies rip you right apart
And any way they want to
Life goes by, done before you start
I cant wait around to satisfy you

Im Not Foolin
(bonnie tyler/ paul hopkins/ peter oxendale)
Producer for bonnie: peter oxendale
Recorded in 1988 as a b-side for the single hide your heart. lyrics taken from careful listening.
Now Ive known for a while
Theres been something going on
And Ive been getting the impression
That Im not the only one
And if thats the way you want it
Than youll have to make a-new
So listen til I tell you
Just what Im gonna do
I dont want you to lie to me
cause I wont take it anymore
And if I find that youve cheat on me
Im just gonna walk right out the door
(chorus)
Im not foolin
Im not foolin anymore
Ive got my eyes wide open
Gonna even up the score
Im not foolin
No, Im not foolin
Im not foolin
Oh no anymore
I cant stop thinking how
You hurt me once before
And Im acting kinda crazy
cause I feel so insecure
cause I gave you all the loving
That a man could ever need
Im a one-man-woman
Thats the way Ill always be
You gotta try to understand
Why its just gotta be this way
And if you know whats good for you
Youd better take notice of what I say
(repeat chorus 6 times...and ad libs)

You Ain't Foolin' Nobody
(Vince Gill / Reed Nielson)
Why don't you come clean, baby
I know what you're goin' through
You must think I'm some kind of crazy
Well, honey I'm just worried 'bout you.
You look so much like your mama
And I'm sorry for you that she's gone
And if she was here she sould tell ya
Don't lose sight of what's right or what's wrong.
Chorus:
'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause baby, teh talk gets around
You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town.
Well, I hope your conscience is listening
When you're out runnin' at night
All it takes is one bad decision
To haunt you the rest of your life.
Chorus:

Seems so crazy, but I guess its true
Girl, youve really got a hold on me
Well Ive been hurt before
So now I must be sure
Are you feelin it too
Maybe this time its true
Or am I foolin myself
Once again
Ive got to know for sure
That Im not foolin myself
Once again
cause I couldnt stand the pain
Findin out it really wasnt true
I was foolin myself
Into lovin you
If youre still in love with someone else
Girl, you know its gonna break my heart
But I just cant let go
So now Ive got to know
Is it love that you feel
Maybe this time its real
Or am I foolin myself
Once again
Ive got to know for sure
That Im not foolin myself
Once again
cause I couldnt stand the pain
Findin out it really wasnt true
I was foolin myself
Into lovin you
Am I foolin myself
Once again
Ive got to know for sure
That Im not foolin myself
Once again

Findin out it really wasnt true

You let me follow you around
It helped your status in the town
Well I didnt know your name
Theres no truth in what you claim
So I think you better stop this foolin round
I think its called a lesson learned
When one so close suddenly turns
Leaves you standing on your own
Got no place to call your home
So I think you better stop this foolin round
Now its my time to make amends
Hope my message dont offend
And I hope this doesnt drive you round the bend
Leaves you standing on your own
Got no place to call your home
So I think you better stop this foolin round
Yes, I think you better stop this foolin round
Yes, I think you better stop this foolin round

This one way city

Its such a pity, honey
Thats it for you
cause lately its been so hard
Ive been make ends meet
And honey, your heads a
One way street
And I gotta go the other way
Theres nothing over here

Im glad to know you
You know your brother spike
Hes on the level
But you always lookin
Like youre mad at the devil
Dont say I cop a tude

Your fruits are rotten
You know I work so hard to keep it alive
Now all I hear from you

Lately its been so hard
Now to make ends meet
And honey, your heads a
One way street
And Im goin on the other way
Yes I do!
And lately its been so hard
To make ends meet
And honey, your heads a
One way street
And I really been feelin
Like I could be movin on
Your heads like a one way street
Youre foolin everybody you meet

I try to keep you out of my heart
But somehow I find
Trying to keep you out of my heart
Im out of my mind
I tell myself Im through with you
And Ill having nothing more to do with you
I stay away, but every day
Im just foolin myself
Tell my friends that I dont care
I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair
But all know it ist so
Im just foolin myself
And evry time I pass
And see my face in a looking glass
I tip my hat and say
How do you do, you fool
Youre trowing your life away
Im acting gay
Im acting proud
And every time I see you in a crowd
I may pretend
But in the end

Its Not A Song
Day turns to night, and I turn into bed.
Cant get to sleep; somethings in my head.
Pacing the floor, I try to force a rhyme.
Why do I fear this time?
Its not a song till it touches your heart.
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
Its not a song.
Now close your eyes; look into your hand.
What do you see?
Life is our song, to give and learn to take.
Time will not wait.
Oh, wont you please come dance,
While the songs still playing,
Wont be long till the silence falls.
Its not a song till it touches your heart. (its not a song.)
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
Its not a song.
Its not a song till it touches your heart. (its not a song.)
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
Its not a song.
Its not a song till it touches your heart. (its not a song.)
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
Its not a song.
Its not a song till it touches your heart. (its not a song.)

Whats Up With That
Well how much blues do you use
Before you use it up
And how many fools take a chance
Before they hit it lucky
Tomorrows wanna be the day
It never seem to work that way
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Everybody want a little more
Than they think they got
But what you might think it is,
Might really not be, baby
Pick it up or leave it lay
It always seem to slip away
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Now how high will a river get
Before it overflows
And how long is the hole to china
It dont really know

Theres always gonna be a doubt

Cant Get Over You
Ive heard it said before,
That you dont care no more,
You just pick up tracks,
And dont look back,
And walk right out that door.
I tell my friends its easy,
Shes never on my mind.....
My life is so much better
Since that day I said good-bye
And i tell myself Im free
But Im only foolin me
Cause no matter what I do...
I cant get over you
Well I tried to hide my pain,
With a taste of fast lane,
But aint no use... to shake you loose...
I still feel the same
I thought I could forget you
But that was just a lie,
Im just not the same without you...
I dont even want to try....
And i tell myself Im free
But Im only foolin me
Cause no matter what I do...
I cant get over you
I cant get over you
Solo:
Bridge:
I dont know how it started
I dont know where I stand
I just want to be back in your arms once again
And i tell myself Im free
But Im only foolin me
Cause no matter what I do...

Sweet love rollin across my mind again.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.
You gotta stop foolin around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
Starlight, your eyes are lookin out so far away.
Constellation in the sky is smiling down on me, I wonder, wonder why.
I can feel youre so real, I can see youre so near
And the you run.
You gotta stop foolin around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.
Moonglow, come light the way up to my window.
As you roll across the night dont tell noby that I told you so.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

Two men on the street
Drinking something cheap
No home, no family
Its cold, nowhere to sleep
Passers-by never catch their eye
Anywhere, one man drinks, the other swears
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(aaaah) you know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong

Someones son always dies
No one shakes his hand
He dont understand

Why did I change my mind?
Then hands on hips

Space
I see it inside your eyes,
Feel it in your soul.
A part of you is moving on,
The other half is gone.
I dont know what you want from me,
No, you lock it all inside.
I try to give you everything,
But theres nothing else that I can hide.
Weve been trying so long.
Youve been pushing too hard.
You should say whats wrong and echo whats right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
When you and I all alone, it feels so damn crowded.
The house we share is not a home when youre inside it.
So, now, I go and pack my things, girl,
I must be moving on.
I couldnt stand to face you,
So i, I guess thats why I wrote this song.
Youve been trying so long.
Weve been pushing too hard.
You should say whats wrong and echo whats right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
Oh, oh, oh, weve been trying so long.
Youve been pushing too hard.
You should say whats wrong and echo whats right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
You need a little space and I need mine.
