Look at Yourself
Album - 1971 - Debaser id 13850

I see you running, don't know what you're running from.
Nobody's comin', what'd you do that was so wrong.

Look back and turn back, look at yourself.
Don't be afraid, just look at yourself.

If you need assistance, or if all you need is love.
There's no point in hidin', tell me what you're frightened of.

You got a friend, just look at yourself.
Don't be afraid, just look at yourself.

Album: Look at Yourself

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love,
With the strength of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
At the sound of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm and the night behind me
And a road of my own
With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la...

I was looking for love in the strangest places
There wasn't a stone that I left unturned
I must have tried more than a thousand faces
But not one was aware of the fire that burned

In my heart, In my mind, In my soul
La la la la...

In my heart, In my mind, In my soul
La la la la... La la la la...

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love,
With the strength of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
At the sound of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm and the night behind me
And a road of my own
With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la...

I thought noone could keep us from sharing the rest of our lives.
Like a fool I believed you were true and had no disguise.
There's a clear blue sky outside and the summer is fine,
but with tears in my eyes I'm no longer pretending you're mine.
It's the same ugly story of a woman abusing a man.
So I have to forget you though I'm not even sure if I can.
There's a clear blue sky outside and the summer is fine,
but with tears in my eyes I'm no longer pretending you're mine.
It's the same ugly story of a woman abusing a man.
So I have to forget you though I'm not even sure if I can.
There's a clear blue sky outside and the summer is fine,
but with tears in my eyes I'm no longer pretending you're mine.

You're looking at me like I must be mad,
but I've been through all this before.
You'll kick and kick until I'm down,
so don't think of comin' past my door.
Oh No!
You think love is such a pain.
So the more it hurts the more you laugh.
Just take it and shake it up and down,
till you think you've had enough.
But you won't get enough of my love.
If you want to carry on the same old way,
treatin' everyone like a piece of dirt.
Just take it and break it and throw it away.
There won't be anyone left to hurt.
North, south, east and west,
wherever you go you'll find the same.
And the only way you'll ever learn,
just realize that you're to blame.

So you think you found a way of living
that prevents you losing any sleep.
Well, my friend, take this that I'm giving.
It's your piece of mind you aught to keep.
You'll run into trouble, for sure,
by living behind a locked door.
Well, you run the risk of being taunted
by doing what you want to do.
Or do you prefer to have your whole life haunted
by the ones who choose to care for you?
Where are their motives, my friend?
Take care your still there again.
Watch out for winter, it'll bite you with cold.
Black spirits trying hard to bribe you with gold.
Would you steal a nickel from a blind man?
Well right now, I do believe you would.
It's not the thought of you doing it that hurts me,
it's the mind behind it that's no good.
If this is your way, I don't want to know.
There's only so far I can go.
I won't go no further - not for you or anyone.
I have my own ideas of what should be done.
What should be done.
What should be done.
What should be done.

Lovely little lady, you've got me on the run.
You're a love machine and you say that I'm your gun.
But I don't care, cause I've got to know...
You said you were a loser, the kind that came up rusted.
So I had to try hard to satisfy your thirst.
But I don't care, cause I've got to know...
The only time she's happy is when the bullets fly.
and she'll make you feel you're better than any other guy.
But I don't care, cause I've got to know...
Lovely little lady, you've got me on the run.
You're a love machine and I'm trying to be your gun.
