She's Only a Baby Herself - Smokey Robinson

He wondered how she'd take it When he said goodbye Thought she might do some cryin' Lose some sleep at night But he had no idea When he hit the road That without him in her life She'd let herself go She let herself go on a single's cruise To vegas once then honolulu Let herself go to new york city A week at the spa Came back knocked out pretty When he said he didn't love her no more She let herself go She poured her heart and soul into their three bedroom ranch Spent her days raisin' babies ironing his pants Came home one day from the grocery store And found his note And without him there to stop her She let herself go Let herself go on her first blind date Had the time of her life With some friends at the lake Let herself go buy a brand new car Drove to the beach He'd always said was too far Sand sure felt good between her toes To vegas once... honolulu... new york city Came back... Knocked out pretty... bought a brand new car 2002 10

Monday mornin' - it's time to get up Two cups of coffee and she runs for the bus Looks in the window and fixes her hair Nobody notices and nobody cares She admits it ain't no kinda life Workin' 9 to 5 you know... She's only happy when she's dancin' There ain't no place she'd rather be When she's dancin' Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies When Friday evenin' finally rolls around She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown Goes to a place they call "The Ball And Chain" Nothin' matters until Monday so she goes insane Well it's a bitch tryin' to make ends meet But that's the way the story goes She's only happy when she's dancin' There ain't nothin' makes her feel so free When she's dancin' The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see Solo She ain't got much but she got independence Ya - she's doin' alright His eyes are on her as the evenin's endin' But she ain't goin' for no mystery Because nobody rides for free She's only happy when she's dancin' Dancin' - there ain't no place she'd rather be When she's dancin' Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies - dancin'

So you ventured out into the new world To spread your seed in every land you could find To take by force whatever you could get your hands on You said, "We're gonna take whatever place On the map my finger lands on" We'll show them savages who's calling all the shots We'll give them education which they could have got without us We'll strip the land and force her to put out And if we don't get what we want we'll put it in her mouth This is really hard I think we're gonna need some slaves We'll drag some people back to here And we'll make them dig their very own graves We'll give them clothes and teach them to behave And they will like it or else Because "God" obviously want it that way This shoud destroy their spirits and crush their sense of self And when we see the effect this has We'll blame it on the people themselves And if they complain, we'll pour an Oceans worth of sugar and drugs on top And then we'll get some bald guy wearing a suit To go on TV and berate them when they cannot stop And we'll shun the ones who do not get the Christian diseases Like cancer, MS, heart failure Lou Gehrig's Codependency and diabetes We know which ones come from our father in the sky And we know which ones were designed by the "other guy" That thing in the White House is beholden to a deity It's the same one we are and it's name is the economy Imaginary numbers dance like Vegas showgirls in his head And when the veil is lifted You're gonna wish that you were dead And now we've gotten all the things we could ever want Like cars, milk frothers, crime and book from self-help authors And coal and diamonds, buildings, oil and lots of steel And every moment was worth it I'm sorry, that's just how I feel Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have That's the only baby that bitch could have Don't look so glum there's no reason to feel sad 'Cause baby, that's the only baby that bitch could've ever have Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have That's the only baby that bitch could have Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have Yeah, that's the only baby that bitch could have Yeah, that's the only baby that bitch could have Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have That's the only baby that bitch could have Yeah, that's the only baby that bitch could have Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have That's the only baby that bitch could have

新しい季節は なぜかせつない日々で 河原の道を自転車で 走る君を追いかけた 思い出のレコードと 大げさなエピソードを 疲れた肩にぶらさげて しかめつら まぶしそうに 同じセリフ 同じ時 思わず口にするような ありふれたこの魔法で つくり上げたよ 誰も触われない 二人だけの国 君の手を離さぬように 大きな力で 空に浮かべたら ルララ 宇宙の風に乗る 片隅に捨てられて 呼吸をやめない猫も どこか似ている 抱き上げて 無理矢理に頬よせるよ いつもの交差点で 見上げた丸い窓は うす汚れてる ぎりぎりの 三日月も僕を見てた 待ちぶせた夢のほとり 驚いた君の瞳 そして僕ら今ここで 生まれ変わるよ 誰も触われない 二人だけの国 終わらない歌ばらまいて 大きな力で 空に浮かべたら ルララ 宇宙の風に乗る 大きな力で 空に浮かべたら ルララ 宇宙の風に乗る ルララ 宇宙の風に乗る
