*from 'Foreigner' (1973)*


Verse 1:

                         
There are no words, I can use,
                                          
Because the meaning, still leaves for you to choose.
                                              
And I couldn't stand, to let them be a-bused, by you,  you.

Verse 2:

                       
 Dreams I had just last night;
                       
 Made me scared, white with fright.
                           
But I'm over to that sunnyside road,
                        
 Over to that sunnyside road.

Instrumental 2:

           
       Hey, hey.

Verse 3:

                           
 Fortunes come and fortunes go,
                                          
 But things get better babe; that's one thing I know.
                           
And I'm over to that sunnyside road,
                        
 Over to that sunnyside road.

Verse 4:

                            
Now I have a friend, that I have met,
                                    
Who gives me love and a certain re-spect.
                
 Just a little re-spect;
                                  
 Everybody needs just a little res-pect.
                  
That means you, you,
                         
 You, you, you, you, you, you, you.

Verse 5:

                                 
 And in a little while, our love will spread,
            
To you, you...
                                    
 Ain't no matter who inside this world you know;
                                              
 There'll be some-one who will love you just for who   you are,
                      
Really are, are, are.         for truth!

Verse 6:

                       
 Dreams I had just last night;
                          
 Made me worried; face up to the light.
              
 Face up to the light.
                           
But I'm over to that sunnyside road,
                         
 Over to that sunnyside road.

 Come on now, it's freedom calling;
                                
 Come on over and find yourself.
                         
 Come on now, it's freedom calling;

Verse 8:


 You can live in the largest house,
      
And e-leven apartments too.

 Run your own private plane,
      
And a boat in Malibu.

 But 'till you know deep down,
        
What in-side you really need.

Verse 9:

                     
Well I love you baby, ooh my dear,
                         
And I think about you some-times.
                                       
But when you're with me; boy it chokes my mind.

Verse 11:

                 
 Man must fight for freedom;
                                              
Sure that's what most other people would say.
                 
 Look for a body to lead them;
            
But there's too many to lead them a-way.
       
 Ah......

                  
 Why wait until it's your time to die,
                                            
Before you learn what you were born to do?
                
 Come on now, it's freedom calling;
                                      
But there's only one freedom for you.

Verse 13:

                                        
 Won't you give me your word that you won't laugh?
                               
 'Cos you've been, a saving grace to me.
                   
 And I'd hate to face, a day,
                                         
Without you around; my life would be without sound.

Verse 14:

                                               
 Love, love, love; love must've made you on a Sunday,
                                                 
'Cos you taste to me, as good as God made honey taste, babe.
                                                        
And the sky all glistens with gold when you're talking to me.
                                                         
And the whirling wind, turns to song; why it sets my soul free, free.

                                               
 Love, love, love; love must've made you on a Sunday,
                   
 A....y, ay a...y, ay a...y.

Oh dar-ling; you see my face,
                                            
But it's in my heart; that's where it's taking place.
                                                     
And I couldn't stand, to let it go to waste; can you,    you?

Verse 17:

                        
Oh love, sweet blue love;
                    
No man, can ever get e-nough.
                                                  
But maybe one day, we'll all die in love; will you,  you?

                       
 Oh love, sweet love, my........ love.

Please say you will; don't say you can't.

I knew that I need not look no more.
                         
 I've seen many other girls be-fore,
