When you were lonely, you needed a man
Someone to lean on, well I understand
It's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
Nights can be empty, nights can be cold
So you were looking for someone to hold
That's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
I was so lonesome, I was blue
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
Always thought you knew the reason why
I only wanted a little love affair
Now I can see you are beginning to care
But baby, believe me
It's better to forget me
Men are toys in the game that you play
When you get tired, you throw them away
That's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
Falling in love with a woman like you
Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do
It's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
I was so lonesome, I was blue
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
Always thought you knew the reason why
I only wanted a little love affair
Now I can see you are beginning to care
But baby, believe me
It's better to forget me

Everybody screamed when I kissed the teacher
And they must have thought they dreamed when I kissed the teacher
All my friends at school
They had never seen the teacher blush, he looked like a fool
Nearly petrified ?cos he was taken by surprise
When I kissed the teacher
Couldn?t quite believe his eyes, when I kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then he just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright
I was in a trance when I kissed the teacher
Suddenly I took the chance when I kissed the teacher
Leaning over me, he was trying to explain the laws of geometry
And I couldn?t help it, I just had to kiss the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright
What a crazy day, when I kissed the teacher
All my sense had flown away when I kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then he just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him)

Here's to us, one more toast and then we'll pay the bill
Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill
Birds of passage, you and me, we fly instinctively
When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks
Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex
We're still strivin' for the sky, no taste for humble pie
Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
It's so strange when you're down and lyin' on the floor
How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
Clear-headed and open-eyed with nothin' left untried
Standin' calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
There's no hurry any more when all is said and done
Standin' calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
There's no hurry any more when all is said and done

Went to buy me a paper
At the local newsstand
And then I heard them
Laugh and say
"Look, they're gonna go flying
Way up to the moon now
Hey, what's it good for anyway?"
So I said, "Fellas
Like to ask you a thing if I may"
"What about Livingstone?
What about all those men
Who have sacrificed
Their lives to lead the way?"
"Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
Traveling up the Nile?
Putting themselves on test?
Didn't that help the rest?
Wasn't it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?"
And all of those fellas
At the local newsstand
Didn't know what to answer
Or what to say
So I told them about him
That he was just like
One of those spacemen in his way
And if you laugh at them
Then there's only a thing I can say
"What about Livingstone?
What about all those men
Who have sacrificed
Their lives to lead the way?"
"Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
Traveling up the Nile?
Putting themselves on test?
Didn't that help the rest?
Wasn't it worth it then?"
"What about Livingstone?
What about all those men
Who have sacrificed
Their lives to lead the way?"
"Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
Traveling up the Nile?
Putting themselves on test?
Didn't that help the rest?
Wasn't it worth it then?"
"What about Livingstone?
What about all those men
Who have sacrificed
Their lives to lead the way?"

My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose -
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

You move like a flame of fire
Your eyes like a flash of lightning
The answer to all desire
And I'm gonna tame you, wild thing
You'd better watch out
I said you'd better watch out, watch out
Anywhere you go I'll find you watch out
I'll be staying close behind you
And I'm tired of waiting
Yes, it's driving me crazy
And my patience is fading
Oh, you'd better watch out
I said, "You'd better watch out"
It's been kind of funny lately
You act like I was a stranger
I think you're beginning to hate me
But then you're a girl in danger
You'd better watch out
Ooh, I said you'd better watch out watch out
Anywhere you go I'll find you watch out
I'll be staying close behind you
And I've tired of waiting
Yes, it's driving me crazy
And my patience is fading
So, you'd better watch out
Yes, I said, "You'd better watch out"
Watch out, watch out
And I'm tired of waiting
Yes, it's driving me crazy
And my patience is fading
I said, "You'd better watch out"
Oh, girl you'd better watch out
Ah, you'd better watch out
Ooh, ah, you'd better watch out
