Live at Radio City Music Hall - 2003 (Expanded 20th Anniversary Edition - The Last Concert)

2023

[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm gon’ take my time and sing this thing right
Can I do that? (Yeah)
Should I do that? (Yeah)
Then I will, then I will, then I will, ooh yeah
The story goes
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, dwee dee dee dee, yeah
And oh, oh, oh, oh, ho
Well
[Verse 1]
A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sitting there
But oh, a chair is not a house, and a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight
Good morning, good evening, good afternoon, hello, bye-bye, baby, yeah
What I mean is
[Verse 2]
A room is a still a room
Even when there’s nothing there but gloom
But oh, a room is not a house, and a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart
[Bridge]
Now and then, I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
And when it ends, it ends in tears
[Verse 3]
Pretty little darling, have a heart, yeah, baby
And don't let one mistake keep us apart
I was wrong and I know it — forgive me, honey
'Cause I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs, when I turn the key
Oh, please be there, saying that you're still in love
Ooh, you're sure in love with me, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs and turn the key
Oh baby, please be there, and still in love
I said still in love, oh yeah
Please be still in love with me, oh yeah, oh
Are you gonna be in love with me?
I want you and need you to be, yeah, hey
Still in love with me
Say you’re gonna be in love with only me
It’s driving me crazy to think that my baby
Wouldn't be still in love with me
Are you gonna be, say you’re gonna be
Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
Well well, well well
Still in love, so in love with me
And if you're gonna be, say that you’re gonna be, yeah
Still in love with...with me, yeah, yeah
With me, oh, oh oh oh, love
Be still in love with me, yeah, yeah, yeah
