• “But there never seems to be enough timeTo do the things you want to do, once you find them.I've looked around enough to knowThat you're the one I want to go through time with.”
• “But tomorrow's a dream away and today has turned to dust.Your silver tongue has turned to clay and your golden rule to rust.If that's the way that you want it well that's the way I want it more,Cause there'll be one less set of footprints on your floor in the mornin'.Oh there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor in the mornin'.”
• “Well, the South side of Chicago is the baddest part of town.And if you go down there, you better just bewareOf a man named Leroy Brown.Now, Leroy, more than trouble,You see, he stands, about, six foot four.All the downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover",All the men just call him "Sir" (Right on).And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown,The baddest man in the whole damn town.Badder than old King Kong,Meaner than a junkyard dog.”
• “But it doesn't have to be that way;What we had should never have ended.I'll be dropping by today.We could easily get it together tonight,It's only right.”
