Body And Soul

Joe Jackson Body And Soul Lyrics
1.The Verdict

Did you do me right?
Did i do right by you?
When i bared my soul it seems you did not hear
Can this be true?
Am i fool to fight?
I could do just what you say
But i'm following my heart and that takes me another way
It's not easy when there's no one one giving prizes at the end

Waiting in the wings
Wishing that the band would start to play
As the show begins
Wonder what the critics have to say

Waiting
Waiting
For the verdict

Some people live so fast
They're so scared of getting old
Some people keep on working
All they do is line their graves with gold
We don''t know what happens when we die
We only know we die too soon
But we have to try or else our world becomes a waiting room
Would you testify for me?
I think i'd do the same for you

Waiting in the dark
Waiting for the phone to ring all day
My witness disappears
Wonder what the jury has to say

Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting


2.Cha Cha Loco

You've tied the knot
Don't bite the hand or it won't feed
What she ain't got
Is sure to make sure you don't need
You can't go back
You've booked the band
So take your partner by the hand

Baile
Enjoy the food - so many courses
Baile
Enjoy the dance - they don't shoot horses
Baile
Cha cha loco

You like the dress
It's out of mothballs once a year
The good champagne
Tomorrow night it's back to beer
But now you're here, you'll dance all night
But never get the steps quite right

Baile
Enjoy the food - so many courses
Baile
Enjoy the dance - they don't shoot horses
Baile
Cha cha loco

Cha cha cha loco
Cha cha cha loco
Cha cha cha loco
Cha cha cha loco
Cha cha cha loco
Cha cha cha loco
Cha cha cha loco

Baile
Enjoy the food - so many courses
Baile
Enjoy the dance - they don't shoot horses
Baile
Cha cha loco


3.Not Here, Not Now

These words of love
So hard for me to find
How can i change my mind
If you can only lie?
These shattered dreams
I try to build again
But looks could kill again
And i'm too young to die

Smiling faces all around us
You don't want to make a scene
Not here, not now
And i don't want to cry

We drink the wine
Like we were really friends
But can our sadness end
And words turn into play?
We dress so fine
And step out on the town
And friends may gather round
But soon will turn away

Smiling faces all around us
You don't want to make a scene
Not here, not now
And i don't want to cry

Smiling faces all around us
You don't want to make a scene
Not here, not now
And i don't want to cry


4.You Can't Get What You Want(Till You Know What You Want)

Sometimes you start feelin' so lost and lonely
Then you'll find it's all been in your mind
Sometimes you think someone is the one and only
Can't you see, it could be you and me?
But if there's any doubt
Then i think i'll leave it out

'cause i'll tell you one thing
You can't get what you want
Till you know what you want
Said you can't get what you want
Till you know what you want

Sometimes you keep busy reaching out for something
You don't care, there's always something there
Sometimes you can't see that all you need is one thing
If it's right, you could sleep at night
But it can take some time
But at least i'm here in line

'cause i'll tell you one thing
You can't get what you want
Till you know what you want
Said you can't get what you want
Till you know what you want

Sometimes you can't see that all you need is one thing
If it's right, you could sleep at night
But it can take some time
But at least i'm here in line

'cause i'll tell you one thing
You can't get what you want
Till you know what you want
Said you can't get what you want
Till you know what you want


5.Go For It

Everybody's wasting time
Everybody stands in line
Think of babe ruth
And you think of hot dogs and beer
But if he could hit a home run so could you
And your weight is just nowhere near
Am i making myself quite clear?

Is that the best you can do?
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it
If that's the best you can do
Get out of my place
Take anyone's place
Come last in the race, but
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it

The clock is ticking on the wall
Everybody has to take a fall
Think of ray charles
And you think of sunglasses at night
But if he can play piano so can you
And you can tell black from white
Can you tell me that i'm not right?

Is that the best you can do?
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it
If that's the best you can do
Get out of my life
Be anyone's life
And do what you like, but
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it

Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it

Think of babe ruth
And you think of hot dogs and beer
But if he could hit a home run so could you
And your weight is just nowhere near
Am i making myself quite clear?

Is that the best you can do?
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it
If that's the best you can do
Get out of your shell, be anyone's pal
Do bad or do well, but
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it

7.Happy Ending

I'm in a movie
Where boy meets girl
What happens to me
In this brave new world

Do i listen to my heart, do i listen to my head?
So i look at what i see, or remember what i read?
When i tell you how i feel, do i wonder what i've said?

Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone
Anyone can be so hard hearted
But everyone
Still everbody wants a happy ending

It's not so easy, it's '84 now
How tough must we be to ask for more now?
Do i listen to my head, do i listen to my heart?
Do i try to feel the same as i feel when we're apart?
Do i think about the end when it's only just the start?

Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone
Anyone can be so hard hearted
But everyone
Still everbody wants a happy ending

I get so scared when i see the end but it's against our case
Each movie so far this year ends up with someone crying
Or even someone dying

Do i listen to my head, do i listen to my heart?
Do i try to feel the same as i feel when we're apart?
Do i think about the end when it's only just the start?

Is there nothing we can do about it, anyone
Anyone can be so hard hearted
But everyone
Still everbody wants a happy ending


8.Be My Number Two

Won't you be my number two
Me and number one are through
There won't be too much to do
Just smile when i feel blue

And there's not much left of me
What you get is what you see
Is it worth the energy
I leave it up to you

And if you got something to say to me
Don't try to play your funny games on me
I know that it's really not fair of me
But my heart's seen too much action

And every time i look at you
You'll be who i want you to
And i'll do what i can do
To make a dream or two come true
If you'll be my
If you be my number two


9.Heart Of Ice

Take a knife
Cut out this heart of ice
Hold it high
Walk into the sun
