Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart

Baby, baby
I’m aware of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you’ll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(think it over) after I’ve been good to you ?
(think it over) after I’ve been sweet to you ?

Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

I’ve known of your
Your secluded nights
I’ve even seen her
Maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection ?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush of to her charms
(think it over) haven’t I been good to you ?
(think it over) haven’t I been sweet to you ?

Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

I’ve tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you’d stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
I’m so afraid I’ll be losing you forever

Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! in the name of love
Before you break my heart

Baby, think it over
Think it over, baby
Ooh, think it over baby…

HER: They say we’re young and we don’t know
We won’t find out until we grow
HIM: Well I don’t know if all that’s true
‘Cause you got me, and baby I got you

HIM: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe

HER: They say our love won’t pay the rent
Before it’s earned, our money’s all been spent
HIM: I guess that’s so, we don’t have a pot
But at least I’m sure of all the things we got

HIM: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe

HIM: I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
HER: And when I’m sad, you’re a clown
And if I get scared, you’re always around

HER: Don’t let them say your hair’s too long
‘Cause I don’t care, with you I can’t go wrong
HIM: Then put your little hand in mine
There ain’t no hill or mountain we can’t climb

HIM: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe

HIM: I got you to hold my hand
HER: I got you to understand
HIM: I got you to walk with me
HER: I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won’t let go
I got you to love me so

BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

Come gather ’round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savln’
Then you better start Swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who
That it’s namin’.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come senators, Congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up rhe hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside
And it is ragin’.
It’Il soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are heyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin’.
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you.

Though I know that evenin’s empire has returned into sand,
Vanished from my hand,
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, I’m branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street’s too dead for dreaming.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin’ ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can’t feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin’.
I’m ready to go anywhere, I’m ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.

Though you might hear laughin’, spinnin’, swingin’ madly across the sun,
It’s not aimed at anyone, it’s just escapin’ on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin’.
And if you hear vague traces of skippin’ reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it’s just a ragged clown behind,
I wouldn’t pay it any mind, it’s just a shadow you’re
Seein’ that he’s chasing.

Then take me disappearin’ through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it’s cold outside
I’ve got the month of May
I guess you’ll say
What can make me feel this way
My girl my girl
Talkin’ ’bout my girl
I’ve got so much honey
The bees envy me
I’ve got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the tree
Well I guess you say
What can make me feel this way
My girl My girl
Talkin’ ’bout my girl
Yeah Yeah
I don’t need no money
Fortune or fame
I’ve got all the riches Baby
One man can claim
Well I guess you say
What can make me feel this way
It’s my girl
Talkin’ ’bout my girl
I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl, I even got the month of May
My girl
Talkin’ ’bout my girl
Talkin’ ’bout
Talkin’ ’bout
My girl…

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.
“Fools” said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.”
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.”
And whisper’d in the sounds of silence.

I can’t get no satisfaction, I can’t get no satisfaction,
‘Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can’t get no, I can’t get no
When I’m drivin’ in my car, and that man comes on the radio;
And he’s tellin’ me more and more about some useless information,
Supposed to fire my imagination.
I can’t get no, oh, no no, no, hey, hey, hey
That’s what I say.
I can’t get no satisfaction…
When I’m watchin’ my T.V., and that man comes on to tell me;
How white my shirts can be,
Well, he can’t be a man,
‘Cause he doesn’t smoke the same cigarettes as me,
I can’t get no, oh, no no, no, hey, hey, hey
That’s what I say.
I can’t get no satisfaction, I can’t get no (girl with action,)
‘Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can’t get no, I can’t get no,
When I’m ridin’ ’round the world, and I’m doin’ this and I’m signin’ that;
And I’m tryin’ to make some girl. Who tells me, baby,
Better come back later next week, ’cause you see I’m on a losing streak,
I can’t get no, oh, no no, no, hey, hey, hey
That’s what I say. I can’t get no, I can’t get no,
I can’t get no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no
satisfaction.

Michelle, ma belle.
These are words that go together well,
my Michelle.
Michelle, ma belle.
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble,
tres bien ensemble.
I love you, I love you, I love you.
That’s all I want to say,
until I find a way.
I will say the only words I know that
you’ll understand.
Michelle, ma belle.
These are words that go together well,
my Michelle.
Michelle, ma belle.
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble,
tres bien ensemble.
I need you, I need you, I need you.
I need to make you see,
oh, what you mean to me.
Until I do I’m hoping you,
will know what I mean.
I love you.
I want you, I want you, I want you.
I think you know by now
I’ll get to you somehow.
Until I do I’m telling you so
you’ll understand
And I will say the only words I know that
you’ll understand, my Michelle.

1965

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay,
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I’m not half to man I used to be,
There’s a shadow hanging over me.
Oh yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go?
I don’t know she woldn’t say.
I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh I believe in yesterday.

All the leaves are brown
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
And the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk
I’ve been for a walk
On a winter’s day
On a winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm
I’d be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin
California dreamin
On such a winter’s day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
Got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
Precher likes the cold

He knows I’m gonna stay
Knows I’m gonna stay
California dreamin
California dreamin
On such a winter’s day

All the leaves are brown
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
And the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk
I’ve been for a walk
On a winter’s day
On a winter’s day
If I didn’t tell her
If I didn’t tell her
I could leave today
I could leave today
California dreamin
California dreamin
On such a winter’s day
California dreaming
On such a winter’s day
California dreaming
On such a winter’s day
