Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send them to me, the homeless
Send them to me, the tempest-tost,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door
I lift my lamp
I lift my lamp
I lift my lamp
I lift my lamp
I lift my lamp to my brothers
I lift my lamp to my sisters
I lift my lamp to the Mother
I lift my lamp for each other
I lift my lamp beside the golden door

[1] I love you, baby…although I probably shouldn’t!
I tried to leave you, once…well, you know I just couldn’t.
My love is strong…you know I can’t restrain it.
I don’t believe it’s wrong even though I can’t explain it.
If you believe it’s a sin I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive it.
We only get this life we’re in, I think we owe it to ourselves to live it.
[2] I love you, baby, and though I can’t command it,
I want to squeeze you, sugar, ‘til you tell me that you just can’t stand it.
When we’re apart you know I’m driven to distraction;
I get a heavy heart thinkin’ ‘bout a little midnight action.
If you didn’t exist my mind would do gymnastics trying to invent you.
And on Sunday morning I pump my fist and thank the Lord above that he sent you.
[3] I love you, baby, and though I don’t recommend it,
the rule that keeps me from you might not break, but I think I’m gonna bend it.
If you want to drop by, you know my back door’s open;
Just tell a little white lie (It might not work, but again, here’s hopin’).
If I don’t get to see you real soon I just might lose my capacity for reason.
You’re like huntin’ duck, my dear, some say it tastes a little better when it’s not in season….

There might be a chance
That I’m falling for you
There’s not a lot
I wouldn’t do for you
There may come a time
When you won’t find
Me as lovely
But between now and then
Maybe you could find it in
Your heart to love me
Colors bled into themselves
And the world grew so much smaller
Then suddenly
It was only you and I
There might be a chance
You don’t feel the same way
There are a lot
Of soothing words we could say
Maybe in another time
Circumstance will find
Us together
But even if not then
The memory is in
Our hearts forever
Colors bled into themselves
And the world grew so much smaller
Then suddenly
It was only you and I
