LYRICS:


(Oh yeah)
(Ooh)

Mr. Big Stuff
Who do you think you are?
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love

Now, because you wear all those fancy clothes (oh yeah)
And have a big, fine car, oh yes you do now,
Do you think I can afford to give you my love? (oh yeah)
You think you're higher than every star above

Mr. Big Stuff
Who do you think you are?
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love

Now, I know all the girls I've seen you with
I know you broke their hearts one after another now, bit by bit
You made 'em cry, many poor girls cry
When they tried to keep you happy, they just tried to keep you satisfied

Mr. Big Stuff, tell me, tell me
Who do you think you are?
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love

BREAK

I'd rather give my love to a poor guy that has a love that's true (oh yeah)
Than to be fooled around and get hurt by you
'Cause when I give my love, I want love in return (oh yeah)
Now, I know this is a lesson, Mr. Big Stuff, you haven't learned

Mr. Big Stuff, tell me
Who do you think you are?
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna break my heart
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna make me cry
(repeat and fade out)

LYRICS:


Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom (Ten, Nine Eight, Seven, Six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (Five, Four, Three, Two)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (One, Liftoff)

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much... she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.

LYRICS:


You're givin' me love that I've always wanted
Show me how you really care-are-are
And my reward to you baby
Is that I'll be there-ere-ere
You're givin' me love like a river overflowing
You give me joy and happine-e-ess
I wanna say thank you baby
For the loving feeling that you share-are-are-are-are

I thank you (for showing me the way)
I thank you (for love's harmony)
I thank you (things that you do)
I thank you (for always bein' you)

Mmm-hmmm-mmm-hmmm

There's something that I've been feeling
Feelin' like you're on a clou-ou-oud
And when I'm around you baby
The volume of the feelin' is lou-ou-ou-ou-oud
And my heart beats just like a drum
Look how far we've co-o-ome, so far, baby
I feel like you're never arou-ou-ou-ou-ound

I thank you (for showing me the way)
I thank you (for love's harmony)
I thank you (things that you do)
I thank you (for always bein' you)

Oh-oh-I, oh-oh-I-I-ee-I, I thank you
I-I-I-I, I-I-I, I-I, yeah-eah-eah

You show me love, you show me the way
You're showin' me love each and every day
You show me love, you show me the way
You're showin' me love each and every day
I-I thank you (you show me love), I do, I do (you show me the way)
I-I-I-I (you're showing me love each and every day)

I thank you (for showing me the way)
I thank you (for love's harmony)
I thank you (things that you do)
I thank you (for always bein' you) (fade)
