\b\fs32 It's always something, gettin in the way of what I want to do. It's always something, gettin in the way of what I want to do. It's always something. Most of the time it's you. When I get up in the morning, gonna pack my bags and go. When I get up in the morning, gonna pack my bags and go. Gonna ride that Amtrack train, All the way to Mexico. It's one thing or another, every time I call your name. It's one thing or another, every time I call your name. It's one thing or another, And you're never to blame. \par It's always something, gettin in the way of what I want to do. It's always something, gettin in the way of what I want to do. It's always something. Money the Law or You.

Different times. Different places. Different people but the same ole faces. Everybody's stoned again. Up all night, Now it's mornin' Party party when you should be snorin'. Everybody's stoned again. \par Cocaine, runnin' through my brain. Whisky, about to do the same. Come on down, join in. Everybody's here to get stoned again. I've been here, And I've been there. But I ain't never been nowhere, Somebody wasn't tryin' to get stoned again.

Somebody once said, but I don't recall who. You've got to stick it to them before they stick it to you. And you know that it ain't right, but it's happening anyway. In every walk of life, You see it going down every day. A knife in the back. Oh a knife in your back. And it's always a friend, with thier hand upon the blade. And the scars that they leave, stay with you till the grave. Well it doesn't matter why, and it doesn't matter who. It doesn't matter where or when, no matter what you do. Oh a knife in your back. Another knife in the back. And we've all got it coming No body gets awa... ya, a, a...ya, a, a. I heard that revenge, was a dish best served cold. But I'm not so sure. That's just what I've been told. And the lessen to be learned. That's a mystery to me. And the moral of the story, sometimes you just can't see. A knife in the back. Oh a knife in your back.

\pard\fs32 I've had a lot of lovers, But I've only had one love. And I want to tell you darling, it's you I'm thinking of. From the moment that I wake-up, Till I go to sleep each night. I thank my lucky stars you're in my life. Did you know that you're my best friend? The best I've ever had. I know that you will stand by me, through the good and through the bad. And I want you, to remember, I will always be true. I've had a lot of lovers but none like you. So tell me, what's a poor soul to do. When they fall in love with someone like you. I could take you in my arms. Surrender to your charms. Hope you feel the same way too. I thought I knew what love was, but then you came along. You turned my whole life upside-down but I know where I belong. And you know that I never, ever really had a clue. I've had a lot of lovers but none like you. And I want you to remember, I will always be true. I've had a lot of lovers but none like you.

If Jesus comes a knockin' , are you gonna let him in? If Jesus comes a knockin' , are you gonna let him in? Well, he looks a little greasy. And you don't know where he's been. If Jesus comes a knockin' , what's he gonna find? If Jesus comes a knockin' , what's he gonna find? You can offer him a juice box. He'll just turn it into wine. If Jesus comes a knockin' , What 'cha gonna do? If Jesus comes a knockin' , What 'cha gonna do? Oh it's plain to see. He's not the man you thought he'd be.
