On and On
Stephen Bishop (c) 1975

                             
Down in Jamaica they got lots of pretty women
                                
Steal your money then they break your heart
                                 
Lonesome Sue, she's in love with ol' Sam
                                       
She take him from the fire into the fryin' pan

CHORUS:
  
  On and on
           
  She just keeps on trying
                                  
  And she smiles when she feels like crying
                             
  On and on, on and on, on and on

                             
Poor ol' Jimmy sits alone in the moonlight
                           
Saw his woman kiss another man
                                            
So he takes a ladder, steals the stars from the sky
                        
Puts on Sinatra and starts to cry
[repeat Chorus]

TAG:
                            
    When the first time is the last time
                      
    It can make you feel so bad
                     
    But if you know it, show it
                                        
    Hold on tight, don't let her say "Goodnight."

                             
I got the sun on my shoulders and my toes in the sand
                           
My woman's left me for some other man
                                            
Ah, but I don't care -- I'll just dream and stay tanned
                        
Toss up my heart and see where it lands.
