I'M STEPPING OUT
By John Lennon
A one, a two, a one, two, three, four!
This here is the story about a househusband who, you know,
Just want to get out of the house, has been looking at you,
You, know, the kids, days and days, he's been watching the kitchen
And screwing around or whatever it has to be till he's gone crazy!
Woke up this morning, blues around my head.
No need to ask the reason why.
Went to the kitchen and lit a cigarette,
Blew my worries to the sky.
If it don't feel right, you don't have to do it.
Just leave a message on the phone and tell them to screw it.
And after all is said and done,
You can't go pleasin' ev'ryone so screw it.
Baby's sleeping, the cats have all been blessed,
Ain't nothing doing on TV (some old repeat!)
Put on my spacesuit, I got to look my best,
I'm going out to do the city.
Boogie!
One more!
I'm stepping out, hold it down,
I'm stepping out, I'm stepping out,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get out!
I'm stepping out, babe, just for a while.
Ain't been out for days! Got to do it tonight!
Give me a break! Give me a break! Gotta get out!
Gotta get out!
Just for a while, just for the night.
I'll be in before one, or two, or three.
Goodbye.
SLEEPLESS NIGHT
By Yoko Ono
Mm, oh!
Sleepless night, moon is bright,
All I'm asking for is three minute love.
Oh, legs!
What am I gonna do with my legs?
They're so hot, they won't stay on the cot and they're screaming!
Ah, head!
What am I gonna do with my head?
It's so light, it just gives me fright,
It's full of champagne and dreams.
This brush must sell like crazy!
I mean, there's a lot of lonely people out there, you know.
I wanna go to the ball, I wanna give it all,
I wanna take it all.
Oh, oh, oh.
Sleepless night,
All I'm asking for is...
What am I asking for?
I DON'T WANNA FACE IT
By John Lennon
Okay, let's go!
Un, deux, ein, zwei, hickle pickle!
Say you're looking for a place to go,
Where nobody knows your name.
You're looking for oblivion
With one eye on the hall of fame.
I don't wanna face it, oh no,
I don't wanna face it, no, no, no, no.
Well, I can dish it out, but I just can't take it.
Say you're looking for some peace and love,
Leader of a big old band.
You wanna save humanity,
But it's people that you just can't stand.
I don't wanna face it, oh no,
I don't wanna face it, no, no, no, no.
Well, I can sing for my supper, but I just can't make it.
Well, now you're looking for a world of truth,
Tryin' to find a better way.
The time has come to see yourself,
You always look the other way.
I don't wanna face it, oh no,
I don't wanna face it, no, no, no, no.
Well, I can see the promised land and I know I can make it.
Ah-ooh!
I don't wanna face it.
I just can't face it no more!
Ev'ry time I look in the mirror I don't see anybody there!
DON'T BE SCARED
By Yoko Ono
Don't be scared, don't be scared,
Don't be scared to love (to love, to love).
Better to love than never love at all.
Don't be scared.
Don't be (don't be) shy (shy),
Don't be (don't be) shy (shy),
Don't be (don't be) shy (shy) to tell (to tell, to tell, to tell).
You may lose the chance to tell.
Don't be shy.
When your hearts are lit,
Drop your survival kit.
Then you never have to run or split.
Sun in the east,
Moon in the west.
Boat's moving slow (slow, slow, slow),
There's no land in sight at all,
Away we go.
Don't be (don't be) scared (scared),
Don't be (don't be) scared (scared),
Don't be (don't be) scared (scared) to love (to love, to love, to love).
It's better to love than never love at all,
So don't be scared.
NOBODY TOLD ME
By John Lennon
Three, four!
Ev'rybody's talking and no one says a word,
Ev'rybody's making love and no one really cares.
There's nazis in the bathroom, just below the stairs.
Always something happening and nothing going on,
There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot.
They're starving back in China, so finish what you got.
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Strange days indeed,
Strange days indeed.
Ev'rybody's runnin' and no one makes a move,
Ev'ryone's a winner and no one seems to lose.
There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu.
Ev'rybody's flying and no one leaves the ground,
Ev'rybody's crying and no one makes a sound.
There's a place for us in movies, you just gotta lay around.
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Strange days indeed,
Most peculiar, mama!
Ev'rybody's smoking and no one's getting high,
Ev'rybody's flying and never touch the sky.
There's UFO's over New York and I ain't too surprised.
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Strange days indeed,
Most peculiar, mama, roll!
O' SANITY
By Yoko Ono
Mm, dum, doo, dum,
Mm, dum, doo, da-da, dum.
It's only sane to be insane,
Psychotic builds a castle and neurotic lives in it.
I don't know what to do with my sanity
When the world's at a verge of calamity.
O' sanity, o' sanity,
What am I to do with you?
Drink up, shoot up, anything you please,
But she's always standing behind me like a devil in hell.
O' sanity, o' sanity,
Why don't you let me go?
Let go, let go,
Cut it out!
BORROWED TIME
By John Lennon
When I was younger, ah-hah,
Living confusion and deep despair.
When I was younger, ah-hah,
Living illusion of freedom and power.
When I was younger, ah-hah,
Full of ideals and broken dreams, my friend.
When I was younger, ah-hah,
Ev'rything simple, but not so clear.
Living on borrowed time,
Without a thought for tomorrow.
Living on borrowed time,
Without a thought for tomorrow.
Now I am older, uh-huh,
The more I see the less I know for sure.
Now I am older, ah-hah,
The future is brighter and now is the hour.
Good to be older, uh-huh,
Would not exchange a singe day or year.
Good to be older, ah-hah (mm, babe!),
Less complications, ev'rything clear.
"Oh yes, it all seemed so bloody easier then.
You know, like what to wear, very serious like,
You know, am I gonna get the little pimples?
Does she really love me, all that crap.
But now I don't bother about that shit no more,
I know she loves me! All I gotta bother about is standing up".
Our love so strong,
Our love so frail,
Our love forever.
Konnani kireina
Anatano me.
Your eyes, so beautiful,
Your eyes.
(FORGIVE ME) MY LITTLE FLOWER PRINCESS
By John Lennon
Two, one, two, three, four.
Forgive me, my little flower princess,
For crushing your delicateness.
Forgive me, uh, uh, uh, forgive me.
Forgive me, my little flower princess,
Forgive me, forgive me.
And I know there is no way to repay you,
Whatever it takes I will try to,
The rest of my life I will thank you,
Thank you, thank you,
My little...
If you forgive me, my little flower princess,
Never too late, unless...
You can for...
Mm, mm...
Time is on our side,
Let's not waste another minute,
'Cause I love you, my little friend,
I really love you.
Give me just one more chance and I'll show you,
Take up the dance where we left off,
The rest of our life is the...
My little...
I'm home!
LET ME COUNT THE WAYS
By Yoko Ono
Let me count the ways how I love you,
It's like that gentle wind you feel at dawn,
It's like that first sun that hits the dew,
It's like that cloud with a gold lining telling us softly
That it'll be a good day, a good day for us.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Let me count the ways how I miss you,
It's like that oak tree in my childhood garden,
It's like that first summer I spent in Egypt,
It's like that warm evening you read to me
Both knowing deeply that it's a good time,
A good time for us.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Let me count the ways how I see you,
It's like that lake in the mountain you heard about,
It's like that autumn sky that stays so blue,
It's like that air around me that holds me so gently,
Whispering strongly
That you're always there, always for me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
GROW OLD WITH ME
By John Lennon
Grow old along with me,
The best is yet to be.
When our time has come,
We will be as one.
God bless our love,
God bless our love.
Grow old along with me,
Two branches of one tree.
Face the setting sun
When the day is done.
God bless our love,
God bless our love.
Spending our lives together,
Man and wife together,
World without end,
World without end.
Grow old along with me,
Whatever fate decrees.
We will see it through
For our love is true.
God bless our love,
God bless our love.
YOU'RE THE ONE
By Yoko Ono
Mountains may move, river may run,
But you make me be myself, you make me be.
How do I tell you?
How do I tell you're the one?
Stars may move, time may run,
But you make me free myself, you make me free.
How do I tell you?
How do I tell you're the one, you're the one?
In the world eye we were laurel and hardy,
In our minds we were heathcliff and cathy.
In a moment of wisdom we were a wizard and a witch,
In a moment of freedom we were don quixote and santo.
In reality we were just a boy and a girl who never looked back.
How could I tell you?
How could I tell you?
You're the one,
You're the one,
You're the one,
