(Chorus) What do I know? What do I know? What do I know about love? What do I know? What do I know? What do I know about love? Get yourself into situations Disappointed by your expectations All kinds of things go on without explanations What do I know about love? Bible says / man and woman were created together They got separated-now they’re out searching for each other Through the turbulence and stormy weather What do I know about love? What do I know? What do I know? What do I know about love? What do I know? What does anybody know? What do I know about love? hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey what do I know about love? You fall all in love-you fly so high get shot down and then you pick yourself up - dust yourself off and do the whole thing over again Sometimes it’s serious -sometimes it’s play Watch your mouth-be careful what you say-you know why? Words can come back and bite you some day What do I know about love? What do I know? What do I know? What do I know about love? What do I know? What does anybody know? What do I know about love? hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey what do I know about love? One day you’ll meet your destiny She’s gonna drive you crazy-make you happy as can be Hey hey hey hey Hey hey hey hey Love is G-d’s great mystery what do I know about love? What do I know? What do I know? What do I know about love? What do I know? What do I know? What do I know about love?

I went to sleep a little late one night Got up in the morning had a terrible fright-you know Somebody dressed me Somebody dressed me Somebody dressed me as I lay sleeping one night They put the hat on my head socks on my toes the pants were pressed they weren’t even my clothes Somebody dressed me Somebody dressed me Some midnight valet snuck in and got away as I lay sleeping I had a hounds tooth jacket and a herringbone vest The two tone wing tip shoes were the best looked in the mirror, much to my surprise everything fit and was a perfect size The shirt was blue The socks were too I didn’t know who hey-was it you who dressed me? Somebody dressed me Somebody dressed me as I lay sleeping one night I took those clothes on back to the store got a cash refund who could ask for more Went on home feelin' sublime sayin’, ”tomorrow gonna have me a real good time” I went to sleep a little late the next night got up in the morning, had a worser fright somebody dressed me -again somebody dressed me Same clothes as before-the money was gone from my draw as I lay sleeping I guess it’s destiny these clothes were meant for me Anybody wanna buy a size 38 jacket? hounds tooth

Is It All Right Now? 03:58
lyrics

I saw your picture in the magazine It made me smile to see you I remember when you were a teenage queen All the girls wanted to be you Even then you were a different kind When other girls were chasing love You had something else on your mind Did you get what you want Was it worth all the trouble Is it all right now? I always loved you I guess Did you get what you need Did you hurt anybody Is it all right now? Now that you’re a big success Now you’re a star and a famous model I hear you’re no longer on the bottle I’m glad you beat that bad addiction Your life’s been full of sad affliction It said in the interview that though you’re well known There’s no one you’re close to You still feel alone Did you get what you want Was it worth all the trouble Is it all right now? I always loved you baby Did you get what you need Did you hurt anybody Is it all right now? - Is it all right now? Now that you’re a big success Did you get what you want Was it worth all the trouble Is it all right now? I always loved you I guess - I always loved you Did you get what you need Did you hurt anybody Is it all right now? Now that you’re a big success I remember when we were younger You said you’d make your dreams come true - dreams come true If we were to meet now I wonder would I feel like back then still not good enough for you? Did you get what you want Was it worth all the trouble Is it all right now? - Is it all right now? I always loved you baby Did you get what you need Did you hurt anybody Is it all right now? - Is it all right now? Now that you’re a big success Did you get what you want Was it worth all the trouble Is it all right now? - Is it all right now? I always loved you I guess -I always loved you Did you get what you need Did you hurt anybody Is it all right now? Now that you’re a big --- success

I need someone resourceful gracious and bright who understands silence when I’m wrapped up tight faithful and steady comes through in the clutch mmm---Is that asking too much? She knows my quirks takes things in stride and when nothing works between us she stays for the ride She’s easy to talk to won’t stand for nonsense and such mmm-Is that asking too much? She knows when to let things be she has nothing against a little fantasy Has her friends stands on her own got a life when she’s alone doesn’t drive herself crazy thinking bout what she hasn’t got mmm---is that asking an awful lot? mmm---is that asking too much? when the love is strong everything is clear and she doesn’t mind when time to time I have to disappear mmm---Is that asking too much? mmm---Is that asking too much?

I apologize for any tears I might have caused to flow from your eyes my love I apologize But we were kind of young and had such crazy dreams what mistakes we could make I apologize But I’ll never be sorry ‘bout the love that we shared You know how I loved you you know how I cared And nights when I’m alone feelin’ kind of scared I think of callin’ you to see if you forgive me too ‘Cause I forgive you for any pain that might have come my way from things you’d say My old friend i forgive you And I’ll always remember how time after time we laughed just like children our hearts seemed to rhyme Now nights when I’m alone it feels like such a crime I think of calling you to see if you remember too ‘Cause I apologize for any hurt that might still linger on deep inside my old love Goodbye

Carry Me 05:05

Some people fall by the wayside they have no comfort their lives feel so strange Other travelers manage a free ride They’ve learned how to fly on the wings of change Some people still look for their birthplace they search far and wide though it’s quite near Then there’s children who smile when they get older cause they’ve had their shelter they have no fear Carry me, carry me Lord love your children and carry me across the doubts and the mysteries so strange Carry me softly on the wings of change Some people they sit in their misery quiet and they’re angry their lives won’t arrange Other travelers live in the fullness of a life spent in feeling feeling the wings of change Carry me, carry me Lord love your children and carry me across the doubts and the mysteries so strange Carry me softly on the wings of change Carry me softly on the wings on the wings of change

about

From Phillip:
In the highest reaches of the Heavens our souls are engraved with a mission, a meaning, a something to do when we are born on this Earth. Whatever that something is becomes our music, our song. And with that song, we travel through life to our particular corner of the universe, and in that place, we are empowered to bring a light that only we can bring.
