When I said I needed you, you said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you, and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone and I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me, I can't help but love you
But believe me, I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory, life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness, there's nothing left to feel
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me, I can't help but love you
But believe me, I'll never tie you down
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me....
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me, believe me

You Don't Have To Cry Composer(s): Stephen Stills Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash
In the morning when you rise Do you think of me and how you left me cryin'? Are you thinkin' of telephones And managers and where you got to be at noon?
You are living a reality I left years ago it quite nearly killed me In the long run it will make you cry Make you crazy and old before your time
And the difference between me and you I won't argue right or wrong but I have time to cry my baby You don't have to cry I said cry my baby you don't have to cry I said cry my baby you don't have to cry

You Don't Have To Be In The Army To Fight In The War
You Don't Have To Be In The Army To Fight In The War Composer(s): Ray Dorset Performer(s): Mungo Jerry
When your girlfriend asks you 'round to her house and you meet her folks and they say that your hair's too long and you're not their kind of bloke they grab you by the collar and they throw you through the door You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
Well, you're working very hard to get promotion in your job but arrive late on morning just because you missed the bus the foreman says "You're fired, because your punctuality's poor" You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
Then you go into a hotel to get put up for the night and they say that you can't stay there, just because your shirt ain't white you're tired and you hungry, and you cannot walk no more You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
Ain't no money, ain't no woman, ain't no roof above your head so you lay down in the park, and you wish that you were dead the fuzz says you are trespassing, and kicks you in the jaw You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
The fuzz says you are trespassing and kicks you in the jaw You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war You don't have to be ...........(fade out)

I got some troubles but they won't last I'm gonna lay right down here in the grass And pretty soon all my troubles will pass 'cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town

Yesterday it rained in Tennessee I heard it also rained in Tallahassee But not a drop fell on little old me 'cause I was in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town
If I had a million dollars or ten I'd give to ya, world, and then You'd go away and let me spend My life in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town la-la-la-la ...

You don't bring me flowers You don't sing me love songs You hardly talk to me anymore When you come through the door At the end of the day
I remember when You couldn't wait to love me Used to hate to leave me Now after lovin' me late at night When it's good for you And you're feeling alright Well you just roll over And you turn out the light And you don't bring me flowers anymore
It used to be so natural To talk about forever But 'used to be's' don't count anymore They just lay on the floor 'Til we sweep them away
And baby, I remember All the things you taught me I learned how to laugh And I learned how to cry Well I learned how to love Even learned how to lie You'd think I could learn How to tell you goodbye 'Cause you don't bring me flowers anymore
