Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
|
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
|
No, no
|
Where did all the blue skies go?
|
Poison is the wind
|
That blows from the north, west, south and east
|
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
|
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
|
No, no
|
Oil wasted on the oceans and our seas
|
Fish full of mercury
|
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
|
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
|
No, no
|
Radiation underground and in the sky
|
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
|
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
|
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
|
No, no
|
What about this over-crowded land
|
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
|
I want you
|
The right way
|
I want you
|
But I want you to want me too
|
Said I want you to love me
|
Just like I want you
|
Oh, I'll give you all the love
|
You want in return sweet darlin'
|
Your happiness is all I crave
|
Ooh, it's too bad - it's just too sad
|
You don't want me now
|
But I'm gonna change
|
Your mind someway, somehow, baby
|
I want you
|
The right way
|
I want you
|
But I want you to want me too
|
Said I want you to love me
|
Just like I want you
|
A one way love is just fantasy
|
Oh, sugar
|
To share is precious pure and fair, ooh
|
Don't play with something
|
You should cherish for your life, baby
|
Don't you want to care?
|
Lonely?
|
I'm there
|
