Valotte

Julian Lennon Valotte Lyrics
1.Valotte

Written:Julian Lennon/Justin Clayton/Carlton Morales

Sitting on the doorstep of the house I can't afford,
I can feel you there
Thinking of a reason, well, it's really not very hard
to love you even though you nearly lost my heart
How can I explain the meaning of our love?
It fits so tight, closer than a glove
Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong?
'Cause I've felt it all along

I can see your face in the mirrors of my mind
Will you still be there?
We're really not so clever as we seem to think we are
We've always got our troubles so we solve them in the bar
As the days go by, we seem to drift apart
If I could only find a way to keep hold of your heart

Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong?
'Cause I've felt it all along

Sitting in the valley as I watch the sun go down
I can see you there.
Thinking of a reason, well, it's really not very hard
to love you even though you nearly lost my heart
When will we know when the change is gonna come?
I've got a good feeling and it's coming from the sun

Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong
We'll stick together 'cause we're strong


2.O.K. For You

Written:J.Lennon/J.Clayton/C.Morales/C.Luggeri

You don't make me feel like I used to do, Oh no
'cause I've already seen the other side of you, Oh yeah
Look at me while you're smiling through your lies
Swear blind, they ain't nothing you can hide.
It's O.K. for you
'cause it's O.K., O.K.
It's O.K. for you,
there ain't nothing to disguise
You suck me in, and then you spit me out
It makes me wanna scream, and it makes me wanna shout.

I don't need you now like I used to do, Oh no
'cause I've found another girl who's completely true, Oh yeah
Turn away, try to catch me with your spies
Mirror cracks, see the devil in your eyes.

It's O.K. for you
'cause it's O.K., O.K.
It's O.K. for you
there ain't nothing to disguise
You suck me in, and then you spit me out
It makes me wanna scream and it makes me wanna shout.

It's O.K. for you
'cause it's O.K., O.K.
It's O.K. for you,
there ain't nothing you can hide
You suck me in, and then you spit me out
It makes me wanna scream, and it makes me wanna shout.

Da da doo da doo da da doo da
da da doo da doo da da doo da
da da doo da da da da da da da

Da da doo da doo da da doo da
da da doo da doo da da doo da
da da doo da da da da da da da.....


3.On The Phone

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

I'm on the phone once again
I feel like callin' ev'ryone I know
I called my girl twice last night
She always cries when we have a fight

Ooh, I'm down on my luck again
I really don't know what to do
Yes, I'm down on my luck again
and I don't know what to do
But baby, I'll call you as soon as I get home

I'm on my own once again
I feel the need to be with someone
All my friends have been and gone
My girl's at home and she's all alone

Ooh, I'm down on my luck again
I really don't know what to do
Yes, I'm down on my luck again
and I don't know what to do
But baby, I'll call you as soon as I get home

I'm on the phone once again
I feel like callin' ev'ryone I know
I called my girl twice last night
She always cries when we have a fight

Ooh, I'm down on my luck again
I really don't know what to do
Yes, I'm down on my luck again
and I don't know what to do

Yes, I'm down on my luck again
and I don't know what to do

Yes, I'm down on my luck again
and I don't know what to do

But baby, I'll call you as soon as I get home

Doot doot doo da...
Doot doot doo da...
Doot doot doo da da da da

Doot doot doo da...
Doot doot doo da...
Doot doot doo da da da da....


4.Space

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

I'm walking in the air,
and it feels just like I'm sleeping
You know, I can't touch the ground now
because you'd hear the creaking

Space is like the heavens
A place of peace and stillness
Space is my heaven...Woh

I can see the planets turning,
It's like something that's not true
I'm really sure I must be dreaming
'cause I'm here from out of the blue

Space is like the heavens
A place of peace and stillness
Space is my heaven...Woh

Space is like the heavens
A place of peace and stillness
Space is my heaven...Woh


5.Well I Don't Know

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

Look up as I lie in bed,
feeling the presence of the dead
I get a feeling from your stare,
this is something that we know
I hear you
Do you hear me?
There's something I've got to ask,
are you part of my family tree?

Well, I don't know
but I'm curious all the same
I've been thinking for some time now
Please tell me why you came

Is it something else in you,
or is it something passing through?
Does it show you any light,
or does it tell you what to write?

'Cause I feel you
Do you feel me?
There's something I've got to ask,
will you become part of me?

Well, I don't know
but I'm curious all the same
I've been thinking for some time now
Please tell me why you came

Please tell me why you came...

When my heart has skipped a beat,
I feel it's someone I'm gonna meet
Is this just my imagination,
or have I built my own creation?

I'm near you,
and you're near me
There's something I've got to ask,
is there life after death for me?

Well, I don't know
but I'm curious all the same
I've been thinking for some time now
Please tell me why you came

Please tell me why you came...


6.Too Late For Goodbyes

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

Ever since you've been leaving me
I've been wanting to cry
Now I know how it feels for you
I've been wanting to die
But it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes
Time has gone since I've been with you
We've been starting to die
Now it seems you don't care for me
and I don't understand why
But it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes

Ever since you've been far away
I've been wanting to fly
Now I know what you meant to me
I'm the one who should cry
And it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes

Ever since you've been leaving me
I've been wanting to cry
Now I know how it feels for you
I've been wanting to die
But it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes

Ooh... Ah.....

Dit dit dit dit doo
ba da ba da ba da ba... ba
ba ba ba ba ba... ba ba ba ba ba... ba


7.Lonely

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

When I wake up in the morning
with the sun above my head
I pull the blinds down slowly
The room seems almost dead
And I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
Yes, I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again

I get up quickly,
like a flash of light
I put my clothes on,
neat and right
I work all day,
I work at night
When do I find out
what I'm doing right?

And I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
Yes, I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again

The time has come
when I need to change
I don't know what to do
I'm really restless
My nerves are breaking
The lying feeling's coming through

And I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
Yes, I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again


8.Say You're Wrong

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

You say you love me, but I think you're wrong
We've had times in the past when we weren't so strong
Well, I don't know which way to turn
And I don't know which way to turn
The times have changed, I can read your face
There's been so many lies and no tears with your cries
Well I don't know which way to turn
And I don't know which way to turn

I've been ashamed for so many years
I don't know how to cope when you bring out the tears
And I don't know which way to turn
'Cause I don't know which end to burn

I love you more than a man could say
We've been through a lot
gone our sep'rate ways
'Cause I don't know which way to turn
And I don't know which way to turn

I said I love you, well, I do
I don't know whether I'm wrong or whether I'm right
or which way to turn
And I don't know which way to turn


9.Jesse

Lyrics:China Burton
Music:China Burton

Jesse's in a new low rider outside Frank's Drive-in
He's there with Juanita and the gang but nodding out again
Jesse you're a fool to yourself
'cause you won't stop
You can't take it with you
Jesse you're losing yourself
Ooh....Don't be a fool again
There may not be a next time
Ooh....Don't be a fool again...Jesse

Jesse, there's a whole world out there
that you can't ignore
But nickel bags and chrome-lined cars
is that all that you are?
Jesse, you can't get their respect if you don't stop
you don't even want to
Jesse, you're losing yourself

Ooh....Don't be a fool again
There may not be a next time
Ooh....Don't be a fool again...Jesse

Jesse's in a new low rider outside Frank's Drive-in
He's there with Juanita and the gang but nodding out again
Jesse you're a fool to yourself
'cause you won't stop
You don't even want to
Jesse you're losing yourself

Ooh....Don't be a fool again
There may not be a next time
Ooh....Don't be a fool again...Jesse

Ooh....Don't be a fool again
There may not be a next time
Ooh....Don't be a fool again...


10.Let Me Be

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

You say you've got problems
I've got them myself
But you depend on me to help you out
Please, let me be
Some people tell me you're moving away
I've been assured that you're going to stay...

So please let me be
Please let me be

Some people tell me you're moving away
I've been assured that you're going to stay...

So please let me be
Please let me be


11.Big Mama

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

Ouh, Ouh
She's a pretty big woman
She's out to get your hide
She's the kind of woman
That you wouldn't wanna sit beside
If you don't do your job now
She'll be right on your trail
But if your one of big mama's
You know it's not wise to fail
Big Mama's gonna find you
You know she's big and strong
Big Mama's gonna get you
But only if you're wrong

You're a naughty girl now
You haven't been as good as you should
You've been messing around with Big Mama
And now she's gonna taste your blood
You've been hanging around with the bad boys
Playing on the wrong side of town
You've been up, down, in, out
And Big Mama knows that you're the clown

Big Mama's gonna find you
She's got you by the throat
Big Mama's gonna kill you and there's no anecdote

So you're dead and buried
What's it like under the dirt?
If you'd only realize
it's just white work being the flirt
There's no one you can blame
For what's been done to you
And if you feel ashamed now
There's only one thing that you can do

Go and see Big Mama
Tell her what it's all about
Plead with Big Mama
Better hope that she don't shout

Mother's gonna come and get you
Mother's gonna get you now
Mother's gonna come and get you
Gonna come get you now

Crawl back to mama
On your hands and knees
You know that mama don't forget that she's so hard to please
Big Mama didn't like you, so walk away and cry
The moral of this story is, once bitten twice shy


12.Bebop

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

Naah... Help Me Baby
You need me and I need you
We've been coming around together
And I saw you before you saw me
I've been moving around forever
'Cause I'm a good guy (good guy)
And all you have to do is talk to me

Walking down the street
and you say hello to me
I keep waving to you, while you pass by
I can see it in your eyes
That you like my strange disguise
But underneath my cover you're my lover

'Cause I'm a good guy (good guy)
And all you have to do is talk to me

Talk to me
Look at me
And talk to me
Look at me

You can say I showed you 'round
made a pass and played around
but I'll be telling you baby 'be clever'
We'll be drinking in the park, playing games until it's dark
and you'll be loving it baby, and I'll tell ya

'Cause I'm a good guy (good guy)
And all you have to do is talk to me

Sleeping at your place
Showing people what we mean
and she's the cutest thing you'll ever see she's just like me
Now she's growing up real strong
Shows you can't be too wrong
When you say the pretty baby's so clever

'Cause I'm a good guy (good guy)
and all you have to do is talk to me

The family's going good
Like you know just how it should
And everything's been working out real fine
Life's getting better
You can see that for yourself
So I can show you now just how to do it

'Cause I'm a good guy (good guy)
and all you have to do is talk to me

The hairs are getting grayer
Kind of slow and then fade away
But as long as we keep moving we'll be alright
Our pace is getting slower
We only stop when we fall over
but we're still running around just like our baby

Because I'm a good guy (good guy)
and all you've got to do is talk to me

Because I'm a good guy (good guy)
and all you've got to do is talk to me

The days go so fast
We've not got long to last
And we've had a good life that's how it's meant to be
And now God is taking over
And we're really getting closer
Let's hope that our whole life will flourish like a tree

I'm a good guy (good guy)
and all you've got to do is talk to me
