Oh, oh, baby you can walk, you can talk just like me
You can walk, you can talk just like me
You can look, tell me what you see
You can look, you won't see nothing like me
If you look around the world

Oh, baby you can walk, you can talk just like me
With a little practice you can walk like, talk just like me
If that's what you wanna do
Well you can look, you'll walk in circles around me
But first, I'll walk in circles around you
But first, I'll walk around the world

I'm walking 'round the world
I...you can
I'll walk in circles around you
But first, show me what you can do

I will fight, will fight with my heart
I will fight, will fight with understanding
In my mind the weather never changes
Skill overcomes difficult situations

A straight line exists between me and the good thing
I have found the line and its direction is known to me
Absolute trust keeps me going in the right direction
Any intrusion is met with a heart full of the good thing

Try to compare what I am presenting
You will meet with much frustration
Try to find...similar situation
You will always find the same solution

As the heart finds the good thing, the feeling is multiplied
Add the will to the strength, and it equals conviction
As we economize, efficiency is multiplied
To the extent I am determined the result is the good thing
So I say:
I have adopted this and made it my own
Cut back the weakness, reinforce what is strong

Warning sign, warning sign
I see it, but I pay it no mind
Hear my voice, hear my voice
It's saying something and it's not very nice
Pay attention, pay attention
I'm talking to you and I hope you're concentrating
I've got money now, I've got money now
C'mon baby, c'mon baby

Warning sign of things to come (take it over, take it over)
Someone's talking on my telephone (when we're older, when we're older)
Hear my voice, move my hair
I move it around a lot, but I don't care (what I remember)

Warning sign, warning sign
Look at my hair, I like the design
It's the truth, it's the truth
Your glassy eyes and your open mouth
Take it easy, take it easy
It's a natural thing and you have to relax
I've got money now, I've got money now
C'mon baby, c'mon baby

Warning sign of things to come (turn me over, turn me over)
Love is here but I guess it's gone now (hurry up babe, hurry up)
Hear my voice, move my hair
I move it around a lot, but I don't care

Do you remember
What it is that you remember
Baby remember
Baby remember

"Damn that television...what a bad picture"
"Don't get upset, it's not a major disaster"
"There's nothing on tonight," he said, "I don't know what's the matter!"
"Nothing's ever on," she said, "so...I don't know why you bother."

We've heard this little scene, we've heard it many times
People fighting over little things and wasting precious time
They might be better off...I think...the way it seems to me
Making up their own shows, which might be better than T.V.

(Chorus)
Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations
Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations
They've enlisted all their family
They've enlisted all their friends
It helped save their relationship
And made it work again...

Their show gets real high ratings, they think they have a hit
There might even be a spinoff, but they're not sure 'bout that
If they ever watch T.V. again, it'd be too soon for them
Bob never yells about the picture now, he's having too much fun

(Chorus)
Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations
Bob is on the street today, scouting up locations
They've enlisted all their family
They've enlisted all their friends
It helped save their relationship
And made it work again...

So think about this little scene, apply it to your life
If your work isn't what you love, then something isn't right
Just look at Bob and Judy, they're happy as can be
Inventing situations, putting them on T.V.

(Chorus)
Judy's in the bedroom, inventing situations
Bob is on the street today, he's having a vacation
They've enlisted all their family
They've enlisted all their friends
It helped save their relationship
And made it work again...

I'm painting, I'm painting again
I'm painting, I'm painting again
I'm cleaning, I'm cleaning again
I'm cleaning, I'm cleaning my brain

Pretty soon now I will be bitter
Pretty soon now will be a quitter
Pretty soon now I will be bitter
You can't see it 'til it's finished

I don't have to prove...that I am creative!
I don't have to prove...that I am creative!
All my pictures are confused
And now I'm going to take me to you

I think that we can signify our love now
Ooh girl, you can initiate an impulse of love

Stay hungry, stay hungry, stay hungry
Move a muscle, move a muscle, move a muscle
Make a motion, make a motion, make a motion
Pull it tighter, pull it tighter, pull it tighter
Double beatin', double beatin', double beatin'
Double beatin', double beatin', double beatin'
Palpitation, palpitation, palpitation
Stay hungry, stay hungry, stay hungry

Here's that rhythm again
Here's my shoulder blade
Here's the sound I made
Here's the picture I saved
Here I am

I don't know why I love her like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know can you'll tell me
I really love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
take me to the river, dip me in the water
wash your feet out x3

I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is an ocean that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I would regret

I wanna know can you'll tell me
I really love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water

Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I can't, till I can't, till i can't, till i can't

I don't know why I love you like I do
All the trouble you put me through
Sixteen candles blown on my wall
here am I the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know can you'll tell me
I really love to stay
Take me to the river,drop me in the water
Dip me in the water , drop me to the river
dip me in the water
drop me in the river
push me in the water

I see the shapes
I remember from maps
I see the shoreline
I see the whitecaps
A baseball diamond, nice weather down there
I see the school and the houses where the kids are
Places to park by the factories and buildings
Restaurants and bars for later in the evening
Then we come to the farmlands, and the undeveloped areas
And I have learned how these things work together
I see the parkway that passes through them all
And I have learned how to look at these things and I say

(Chorus)
I wouldn't live there if you paid me
I wouldn't live like that, no siree!
I wouldn't do the things the way those people do
I wouldn't live there if you paid me to

I guess it's healthy, I guess the air is clean
I guess those people have fun with their neighbors and friends
Look at that kitchen and all of that food
Look at them eat it, I guess it tastes real good

They buy it in the farmlands
Then they bring it to the store
They put it in the car trunks
Then they bring it back home

(Chorus)
And I say, I wouldn't live there if you paid me
I wouldn't live like that, no siree!
I wouldn't do the things the way those people do
I wouldn't live there if you paid me to

I'm tired of looking out the window of the airplane
I'm tired of traveling, I want to be somewhere
It's not even worth talking
About those people down there

Goo Goo Ga Ga Ga
Goo Goo Ga Ga Ga

(Repeat to fade)
