Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
There is a house in New Orleans
My mother was a tailor
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Oh mother, tell your children
Well I've got one foot on the platform
Well there is a house in New Orleans
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
Mama, take this badge off of me
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Mama, put my guns in the ground
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
There's a hero
There's an answer
And then a hero comes along
So when you feel like hope is gone
It's a long road
You can find love
And then a hero comes along
So when you feel like hope is gone
Lord knows
Hold on
And then a hero comes along
So when you feel like hope is gone
Mariah Carey

Here we are
Here we are
There's nothing I can do
*******************************
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
They call it the rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And oh God, I know I'm one
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamlin' man
Way down in New Orleans
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time that he's satisfied
Is when he's all a-drunk
Not to do as I have done
And spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house of the rising sun
The other foot on the train
And I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
They call the rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And oh God, I know I'm one
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
All your reindeer armies, are all going home.
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Face to face
We forget, time and place
Hold me now
Don't let go
Though it hurts and we both know
The time we spend together's gonna fly
And everything you do to me
Is gonna feel so right
Baby when you're loving me
I feel like I could cry
'Cause there's nothing I can do
To keep from loving you
All alone
Trembling hearts, beating strong
Reaching out, a breathless kiss
I never thought could feel like this
I want to stop the time from passing by
I wanna close my eyes and feel your lips are touching mine
Baby when you're close to me
I want you more each time
And there's nothing I can do, to keep from loving you
I'm helpless in your arms
Oh baby what you do
I'm in love, this is it
There's no turning back this time
No no no
Here we are
Once again
But this time we're only friends
Funny world
Sometimes lies
Become the game, when love's the prize
And though no one knows what's going on inside
And all the love I feel for you
Is something I should hide
When I have you close to me
The feeling's so sublime
That there's nothing I can do
To keep from loving you
No, no, no, Can't keep from loving you baby no, no, no
