Lyrics
It Doesn't Matter - by Bob Abbott | Published by Abbsong Music, BMI
Verse
Make friends with the Chinese, and sell out the Jews
Pull the plug on the ocean, and light the nuclear fuse
you can do anything, good or bad
but I know something, baby we’ve been had
Chorus
It doesn’t matter, no it doesn’t matter
No it doesn’t matter, no it doesn’t matter
Verse
You can have a girlfriend, or be a drag
You can live with the monkeys, go to church with your dad
to the beach on Monday, or watch TV
it doesn’t matter baby, it’s not up to me
Chorus
It doesn’t matter, no it doesn’t matter
No it doesn’t matter, no it doesn’t matter
Verse
Well the nature, of the human mind
Nobody understands it, not even Einstein
So have lunch with the premier, or go for a ride
roll down your windows baby, air-condition the sky
Chorus
It doesn’t matter, no it doesn’t matter
Nothin’ nothin’ matters, it doesn’t matter
It doesn’t matter, nothin’ nothin’ matters
It doesn’t matter yeah, yeah
Got To Get Back - by Bob Abbott | Published by Abbsong Music, BMI
Verse
All the way from California I have come
Burnt across the desert facing the eastern sun
Chorus
Got to get back got to get back I think I’m late
Got to get back got to get back, back today
Verse
Goodbye, goodbye Los Angeles you’ve got me on the run
Why do you make me feel like I’m losin’ when I’ve really won
Chorus
Got to get back got to get back I think I’m late
Got to get back got to get back back today
Bridge
Day after day rolls by they add up to weeks
How can I function now when I’m clouded with dreams, dreams yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Verse
Goodbye, goodbye Los Angeles you’ve got me on the run
Why do you make me feel like I’m losin’ when I’ve really won
Chorus
Got to get back got to get back I think I’m late
Got to get back got to get back, back today
Bridge
Day after day rolls by they add up to weeks
How can I function now when I’m clouded with dreams, dreams, yeah
Verse
Crossed the state line and dropped down into New Mexico
Send our your banners put up your flags your boy is coming home, home
Chorus
Got to get back got to get back get out of my way
Got to get back got to get back gotta get
Got to get back got to get back gotta get
Got to get back got to get back back today
You Can Cry - by Bob Abbott and Jack Brown | Published by Abbsong Music, BMI
Verse
You can cry, break your leg, kiss the stars baby, but we’ll still be dead
Wash my sheets, make my bed, live together, but still hang your head
Verse
Don’t be sorry, don’t say please, ‘cause you’re so good, at playing the tease
Sacrifice, make it right, open your heart, yeah do it for spite
Verse
You say tomorrow, I say today, sorry for everything, is all you say
I want forever, you want to play, okay baby well I can’t stay
Verse
We’re all alone, separate lives, it’s all over now baby, except goodbye,
Yes I drink all day, thoughts of you, daylight, new light, someone new, someone new
Do You Need The Words - by Bob Abbott | Published by Abbsong Music, BMI
Verse
We all know what they say about love
We’ll have our kicks and let it die
But girl I want more than that
Let’s take our time and make it right
Verse
As I lie here with the ceiling staring back at me
And though you’re silent, I know you’re awake
There no need for apologies
No excuse for those tears in your eyes
Chorus
Don’t give me those words
Don’t give me those words
Verse
The weather report said it’s gonna rain all night
And though I’m tired, I can’t fall asleep
If I could just get you out of my mind
And meet you later in a dream
Verse
Maybe we’re cruising along at different speeds
And maybe I just need more time
Can’t we get past this and see how it plays out
But I don’t wanna hurt you, I don’t wanna fight
Chorus
Don’t give me those words
I can’t handle those words
Do you need those words
Don’t give me those words
Don’t give me those words
Verse
I suppose tomorrow I’ll be leaving you
But I really don’t know why
Do I have to lie here and out guess your mind
Why can’t we make up or at least try
Chorus
Don’t give me those words
I can’t handle those words
Do you need those words
Don’t give me those words
Don’t give me those words
Verse
I suppose tomorrow I’ll be leaving you
But I really don’t know why
Do I have to lie here and out guess your mind
Why can’t we make up or at least try
Chorus
Don’t tell me those words
Don’t tell me those words
Don’t say those words
Don’t give me those words
Can’t handle those words
Don’t tell me those words
