Words and Music by Rick Nielsen

It's not the way you look, no.
It's not the way you walk.
Your eyes are so very good.
You know they're clear and bright,
It's not the color of your hair.

Big eyes
I keep fallin' for those big eyes.
They keep calling my name, big eyes.
I keep fallin' for those big eyes.
They keep calling my name.

You're such a losing cause.
Why don't you go get lost?
Who says you write the laws?
You're such a losing cause,
Go on and get out of here.

Big eyes
I keep fallin' for those big eyes.
They keep calling my name.

You're such a losing cause.
Why don't you go get lost?
Who says you write the laws?
You're such a losing cause,
Go on and get out of here.

It's not the way you look, no.
It's not the way you walk.
Your eyes are so very good.
You know they're clear and bright,
It's not the color of your hair.

Big eyes
I keep fallin' for those big eyes.
(Repeat alternate endings)

They keep calling my name.
(Repeat 4X)

Big eyes, I keep falling for those big eyes.
They keep calling my name.
Big eyes, I keep falling for those big eyes.
I keep calling your name.

Big Eyes.

Words and music by rick nielsen
Downed, downed out of my head
'round, 'round out of my head

I'm gonna live on a mountain
Way down under in australia
It's either that or suicide
It's such a strange strain on you
Ooh, i got a mind
Over you it's not the first time
Ooh, i got a mind

Rainbow's crawling on a midday sun
But i've been lucky you're the only one
Sunday's calling, you'll be number one
It's such a strange strain on you
Ooh, you think of jesus christ
You walk on water but don't bet your life, oh no
All you walk is a fine line
It's such a strange strain on you

Downed, downed out of my head
'round, 'round out of my head

Too many people want to save the world
Another problem is it a boy or girl
Some say the weekend is the only world
It's such a strange strain on you
Ooh, i've got a mind
Over you it's not the first time
All you walk is a fine line
It's such a strange strain on you

Downed, downed out of my head
'round, 'round out of my head
Downed, downed out of my head
'round, 'round out of my head

(repeat to coda)

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me

I'll shine up my old brown shoes
I put on a brand new shirt
I get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin', cryin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin', cryin')

Feelin' all alone without a friend
You know you feel like dyin' (dyin', dyin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin', cryin')

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me

I'll shine up my old brown shoes
I put on a brand new shirt
I get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin', cryin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin'

Feelin' all alone without a friend
You know you feel like dyin' (dyin', dyin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin', cryin')

Feelin' all alone without a friend
You know you feel like dyin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin', cryin')
Ooh

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me

Please don't go,
Please don't go away from me
Please don't go,
Please don't go away from me

I got my breakfast in bed
You're big stuff in Chicago, so get in bed
This bedroom's only 12 by 10

You're all talk,
You're all talk

I got your number for a real good time
Take the phone off the hook and watch you go wild
They say you go nuts and that's what I like

You're all talk,
You're all talk

Please don't go,
Please don't go away from me
Please don't go,
Please don't go away from me

I got your number for a real good time
Take the phone off the hook and watch you go wild
They say you go nuts and that's what I like

You're all talk,
You're all talk
You're all talk,
You're all talk
You're all talk,
You're all talk
You're all talk,
You're all talk

Oh Caroline
My life shined when you walked in
Oh Caroline
My world shined when you came in

And if i go all over the world
I wouldn't find another lover like you
And if i knew a million girls, Caroline

Go to the end of the world for your love
Go to the end of the world for your love

Oh Caroline
My heart shined when you came in
Oh Caroline
Life means more since you came in

And if i go all over the world
I wouldn't find another lover like you
And if i knew a million girls, Caroline

(go to the end of the world) for your love
(go to the end of the world) for your love
(go to the end of the world) for your love, love, love oh Caroline
(go to the end of the world) for your love

Can you feel my heart strings?
They're on fire
You threw it all away

(go to the end of the world) oh Caroline, oh Caroline
(go to the end of the world) love, love, love, love oh Caroline
(go to the end of the world) love
(go to the end of the world) for your love, love.

I've been north,
I've been east to the california beach
There's only one place i know where to find you
And all you southern girls got a way with your words
And you show it
You say hump and i'll jump
You say go and i'll know
Waste no time getting
So close to you
And you'll never run way
When you find out why i wanted to find you

Ooh baby need some brand new shoes
Get out on the street
You got nothing to lose
You rock me and your crazy
And everyone says it, yeah yeah
Southern girls, you got nothing to lose
Southern girls, you got nothing to lose

I've been up i've been down
I've been weak i've been strong
But i never met someone like you
And you'll never run away
When you find why i wanted to find you
You say hump and i'll jump
You say go and i'll know
Waste no time getting

Oh, it's so good to see you
I couldn't wait another day
Oh, i hope everyone missed you
You know they want you to stay

Home in one month
Couldn't feel better if i tried
Won't even write
It's better that'll be a surprise
I can't expect to be a household word
I don't mind, just let me inside
I don't expect to be seen or heard
I won't mind, i've nothin' to hide

Oh, it's so good to see you
I couldn't wait another day
So good to see you
Oh, i hope everyone missed you
You know they want you to stay

Home in one week
Gettin' so much closer all the time
Seems like overnight
It's better that'll be a surprise

We shouldn't get to be too close friends
I don't mind, i've nothin' to hide
We couldn't get to be too close friends
You won't mind if you've nothin' to hide

Oh, it's so good to see you
I couldn't wait another day
So good to see you
Oh, i hope everyone missed you
You know they want you to stay

Don't stop to think what you're doin'
I'll surprise you anytime
Don't stop to do what you're thinkin'
You're just wastin' your time

Ooh, it's so good to see you
I couldn't wait another day
So good to see you
Oh, i hope everyone missed you
I really want you to stay
