Oh my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin' and it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now they don't mean a thing
Every place I'll go I'll think of you
Every song I'll sing I'll sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me...
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the time I won't have to say
So kiss me and smile for me...

Just because I asked a friend about you
Just because I spoke your name somewhere
Just because I rang your number by mistake today
You think I still care
Perhaps you're happy thinking I still need you
Don't let that silly notion bring you cheer
Oh how could you ever be so foolish
And where would you get such idea
Just because I asked a friend about you
Just because I spoke your name somewhere
Just because I'm not the happy one I used to be
You think I still care
[ instrumental ]
And perhaps you're happy thinking I still need you...
Just because I asked a friend about you
Just because I spoke your name somewhere
Just because I rang your number by mistake today
You think I still care
You think I still care

Somewhere out there you're striking matches
Trying to build a fire with wet wood
Meanwhile at home a fire is burning
A fire that would warm you if it could
Keep the home fires burning, don't let the flame die down
If you could see the darkness when you're not around
A fire will burn out of control or die when left alone
So keep the home fires burning and it's always warm at home
A fire that you leave unattended
May feed on any fuel it can find
There is always someone who is willing
To tend the fire that you have left behind
Keep the home fires burning don't let the flame die down
If you could see the darkness when you're not around
A fire will burn out of control or die when left alone
So keep the home fires burning and it's always warm at home
Keep the home fires burning and it's always warm at home

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it baby
But baby baby I know it
You've lost that lovin' feelin' oh that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin' now it's gone gone gone oh yes
There's no lonesome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And you're starting to criticize every every little thing that I do
It makes me just feel like crying baby
cause baby something beautiful's dying
You've lost that lovin' feelin' oh that lovin' feelin'...
Baby baby I get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do oh
We had a love a love that you don't find every day
So don't don't don't throw it away
Bring back that lovin' feelin' oh that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin' now it's gone gone gone oh yes

Left a good job in the city
Workin' real hard every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' about the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Copped a lotta cane in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'...
[ instrumental ]
If you come down to the river
Bet you're gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turnin'...
Rollin' on the river
Rollin' on the river
Rollin' on the river
Rollin' on the river
Rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river
