Every time
we turn the lights down
Just wanna go
that extra mile for you
Public display
of affection
Seems like no one else
in the room
We can get down
like there's no one around
They keep on watchin'
We keep on rockin'
Cameras are flashing
while we're dirty dancing
They keep watchin'
Feels like they're
probably saying
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
The center of attention
Even when I'm up
against the wall
You've got me
in a crazy position
If you're on a mission
You got my permission
We can get down
like there's no one around
We keep on rockin'
We keep on rockin'
Oh, cameras are flashing
While we're dirty dancing
We keep rockin'
They're saying,
we hear 'em
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Even when I'm up
against the wall
Gimme more
Well, I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days
These days
These days I seem
to think a lot
About the things that
I forgot to do
And all the times
I had the chance
To
Yeah, I've stopped
my rambling
I don't do
too much gambling
These days
These days
These days I seem
to think a lot
About the changes
came about my way
And I wonder
if I've seen other
Highways
I had a lover
I don't think
I'd risk another
These days
These days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that
I have made in song
It's just that
I've been losing
So long
La, la, la, la
La
La, la
I've stopped my dreaming
I don't do
too much scheming
These days
These days
These days I sit
on corner stones
And count the time
in quarter tones to ten
Please don't confront me
with my failures
I had not forgotten them
La, la, la, la
La
La, la
Anyone who's ever
had a heart
Wouldn't turn around
and break it
And anyone who's ever
played a part
Wouldn't turn around
and hate it
Sweet Jane
Mm, Sweet Jane
Sweet, sweet Jane
You're waiting
for Jimmy down in the alley
You're waiting there
for him to come back home
And you're waiting down
on the corner
And thinking of ways
to get back home
Mm, Sweet Jane
Sweet, Sweet Jane
Uh
Sweet, Sweet Jane,
uh-huh
Anyone who's ever
had a dream
Anyone who's ever
played a part
Anyone who's ever
been lonely
Ooh, and anyone who's
had to split apart
Oh
Sweet Jane
Mm, Sweet Jane
Sweet, Sweet Jane
Heavenly widened roses
Seem to whisper to me
When you smile
Heavenly widened roses
Seem to whisper to me
When you smile
La, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la
Mm
Sweet Jane
Sweet, Sweet Jane
Oh
Yes I understand
Every life must end
Oh-oh
As we sit alone
I know someday we must go
Uh-huh
Oh, I'm a lucky man
To count on both hands
The ones I love
Some folks just have one
And others,
they've got none
Uh-huh
Stay with me
Let's just breathe
Practiced on my sins
Never gonna let me win
Uh-huh
Under everything
Is just another human being
Oh-oh
Yeah, I don't want to hurt
There's so much
in this world
To make me bleed
Stay with me
Oh
You're all I see
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't,
I'm a fool, you see
No one knows this
more than me
As I come clean
I wonder every day
As I look upon your face
Ah-ah
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take
Oh, oh
Nothing you would take
Oh
Everything you gave
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't,
I'm a fool, you see
No one knows this
more than me
As I come clean
Ah-ah
Ah
Nothing you would take
Oh
Everything you gave
Hold me till I die
Meet you on the other side
For 27 years
I've been trying
To believe and confide in
Different people I found
And some of them
got closer than others
Some wouldn't even bother
Then you came around
I didn't really know
what to call you
You didn't know me at all
I was happy to explain
I never really knew
how to move you
So I tried
to intrude through
Little holes
in your veins
And I saw you
But that's not
an invitation
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know
How to connect
So I disconnect
You always seem to know
where to find me
And I'm still here
behind you
In the corner of your eye
I've never really
learned how to love you
But I know that I love you
Through the hole in the sky
Where I see you
And that's not
an invitation
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know
How to connect
So I disconnect
Ah, ah, ah
Ah
Ah, ah
Ooh, that's not
an invitation
It's not a threat
If you want communication
I disconnect
I'm talking and talking
But I don't know
How to connect
And I hold
The record
for being patient
Ooh
With your kind
of hesitation
I need you, you want me
But I don't know
How to connect
So I disconnect
So I disconnect
Both: I got so high
that I saw Jesus
He said it's
all gonna be okay
You just need me
in your heart
Tennessee Whiskey and love
I got so high
that I saw Jesus
Yeah, they talk
about the rivers running dry
How pretty soon
there won't be any water
Left to turn to wine
Like a drunkard
at the wedding
both: Blindly raising
Armageddon
So, I'ma getting high
I got so high
that I saw Jesus
He said it's
all gonna be okay
You just need me
in your heart
Tennessee Whiskey and love
I got so high
that I saw Jesus
Yeah, Joseph lost his job
to a machine
And Mary lost her mind
to lines of code
You can't see
If the angels
are the AI
They're gonna burn
this whole thing down
Mm, I'm gonna burn
one down right now
both: I got so high
that I saw Jesus
He said it's
all gonna be okay
All gonna be
You just need
me in your heart
Tennessee Whiskey and love
I got so high
that I saw Jesus
And sometimes,
it hurts too much to look
Like Moses
and the burning bush
I tried to turn away,
but I could see
He said, "Fathers,
don't forsake your sons
"There's so much kingdom
left to come
Just let it fill your lungs
before you leave"
I got so high
that I saw Jesus
He said it's
all gonna be okay
You just need
me in your heart
Tennessee Whiskey and love
I got so high
that I saw Jesus
I got so high
that I saw Jesus
I got so high
that I saw Jesus
Na, na, na-na, na
It's been a long night
And the mirror's
tellin' me to go home
But it's been a long time
Since I felt this good
on my own
Lotta years went by
With my hands tied up
in your ropes
Forever and ever, no more
The midnight sky
is the road I'm takin'
Head high up in the clouds
I was born to run,
I don't belong to anyone
Oh, no
I don't need
to be loved by you
Fire in my lungs
Can't bite the devil
on my tongue
Oh, no
I don't need
to be loved by you
See my lips on her mouth
Everybody's talking now,
baby
Ooh, you know it's true,
yeah
I was born to run
I don't belong to anyone
Oh, no
I don't need to be
Loved by you
La, la, la-la, la
She got her hair
pulled back
'Cause the sweat's drippin'
off of her face
Said it ain't so bad
If I wanna make
a couple mistakes
Ooh, you should
know right now
That I never
stay put in one place
Forever and ever, no more
The midnight sky
is the road I'm takin'
Head high up in the clouds
I was born to run,
I don't belong to anyone
Oh, no
I don't need
to be loved by you
Fire in my lungs
Can't bite the devil
on my tongue
Oh, no
I don't need
to be loved by you
See my lips on her mouth
Everybody's talking now,
baby
Ooh, you know it's true
I was born to run
I don't belong to anyone
Oh, no
I don't need
to be loved by you
Ooh, I don't hide
blurry eyes
Like you
Like you
I was born to run,
I don't belong to anyone
Oh, no
I don't need
to be loved by you
Fire in my lungs
Can't bite the devil
on my tongue
Oh, no
I don't need
to be loved by you
See his hands
'round my waist
Thought you'd never
be replaced, baby
Ooh, you know it's true
Yeah
I was born to run
I don't belong to anyone
Oh, no
I don't need
to be loved by you
Yeah
La, la, la-la, la
Oh, you know it's true
You know it's true
Loved by you
