Oh girl
I looked you over once or twice
I think that you are very nice
And you're just meant for me
Oh girl
I think you got a messed up mind
But if you will take the time
Baby i can set you free
Well I'm not trying to be
What i am not
But i think what you need
Is what i got
Girl I'm no philosopher
But i can offer you that cure
To mend your broken heart
I know that you are not blind
I know you see my messed up mind
Yes, you see my broken heart too
So won't you
Bring your heart and
Your mind that's out
On the run
Fuse them with my broken
Heart, in my mind
We'll be one.
Girl i looked you over once or twice
I think that you are very nice
And you're just meant for me
Girl i think you got a messed up mind
Now that you know yours is
Just like mine
Baby, won't you set me free

You Are On My Mind
You are on my mind
The echo of your laughter flowing through me
Sitting by a mountain fire
And wishing you were in my arms
And loving me completely
Rocky mountain highs are very nice
But you are gone and nothing's quite the same
L.A. is so far away and I can't
Stand another day
Without you by my side
Though I've tried, tried, tried
You are on my mind
You are everything a woman could be
Consequently I believe that no one
Else could take your place if you
Should ever leave me
I'll be coming home again to you
And look upon the woman that I love
There is nothing I can say that celebrates
The special way you keep me satisfied
Pretty girl
(break)
Feeling just a little lonely
Wishing you were in my arms
Yeah.....
You are on my mind
The echo of your laughter flowing through me
Sitting by a mountain fire
And wishing you were in my arms
And loving me completely
Rocky mountain highs are very nice
But you are gone and nothing's quite the same
L.A. is so far away and i can't
Stand another day
Without you by my side
Though I've tried, tried, tried.
The echo of your laughter flowing through me
Sitting by a mountain fire
And wishing you were in my arms
And loving me completely
Rocky mountain highs are very nice
But you are gone and nothing's quite the same
L.A. is so far away and I can't
Stand another day
Without you by my side
Though I've tried, tried, tried
You are on my mind
You are everything a woman could be
Consequently I believe that no one
Else could take your place if you
Should ever leave me
I'll be coming home again to you
And look upon the woman that I love
There is nothing I can say that celebrates
The special way you keep me satisfied
Pretty girl
(break)
Feeling just a little lonely
Wishing you were in my arms
Yeah.....
You are on my mind
The echo of your laughter flowing through me
Sitting by a mountain fire
And wishing you were in my arms
And loving me completely
Rocky mountain highs are very nice
But you are gone and nothing's quite the same
L.A. is so far away and i can't
Stand another day
Without you by my side
Though I've tried, tried, tried.

If You Leave Me Now
If you leave me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooh-ooh, no, baby please don't go
And if you leave me now
You'll take away the very heart of me
Ooh-ooh, no, baby please don't go
Ooh-ooh, girl, I just want you to stay
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret
The things we said today
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret
The things we said today
If you leave me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooh-ooh, no, baby please don't go
Ooh, girl, just got to have you by my side
Ooh-ooh, no, baby please don't go
Ooh, my, my, I just got to have your loving (hey, hey)
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooh-ooh, no, baby please don't go
And if you leave me now
You'll take away the very heart of me
Ooh-ooh, no, baby please don't go
Ooh-ooh, girl, I just want you to stay
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret
The things we said today
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret

If you leave me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooh-ooh, no, baby please don't go
Ooh, girl, just got to have you by my side
Ooh-ooh, no, baby please don't go
Ooh, my, my, I just got to have your loving (hey, hey)

Together Again
The lonely days I spend away from you
Sometimes seem like they will never end
But then I picture the glow of your smiling face
And I can make it through the lonely days
And nights until I'm
Home
With you
Where we
Can see
And feel
Our love
Together again
My friend
The lonely nights I spend away from you
Are filled with memories of your dancing eyes
I feel I can make it through another day
Knowing that you'll be waiting to kiss me
Tenderly when I get home
Sometimes seem like they will never end
But then I picture the glow of your smiling face
And I can make it through the lonely days
And nights until I'm
Home
With you
Where we
Can see
And feel
Our love
Together again
My friend
The lonely nights I spend away from you
Are filled with memories of your dancing eyes
I feel I can make it through another day
Knowing that you'll be waiting to kiss me
Tenderly when I get home

Another Rainy Day In New York City
Another rainy day in New York City
Softly sweet, so silently it falls
As crosstown traffic crawls
Memories in my way in New York City
Tender, tough, too tragic to be true
And nothing i can do
City workers cheer
The taxis disappear
Another rainy day in New York City
Another spacey stay in New York city
High up in an overpriced hotel
The view is really swell
Windy, wet and gray in New york City
No one here i really want to see
Old friends and family
So suddenly serene
The air is fresh and clean
Another rainy day in New York City
Softly sweet, so silently it falls
As crosstown traffic crawls
Memories in my way in New York City
Tender, tough, too tragic to be true
And nothing i can do
City workers cheer
The taxis disappear
Another rainy day in New York City
Another spacey stay in New York city
High up in an overpriced hotel
The view is really swell
Windy, wet and gray in New york City
No one here i really want to see
Old friends and family
So suddenly serene
The air is fresh and clean
Another rainy day in New York City

Mama Mama
I can feel the magic
Suddenly it's all around
I can see it clearly
I can even hear the sound
It's all so new to me
I'm not the same
If this is love - it's words i feel
Then you're to blame - but can't explain
Mama mama when you look at me
I see love in your eyes
Mama mama softly sweet tender love in your eyes
You are all I live for
Maybe that's enough to say
And you're the one I wrote this song for
Everywhere & everyway
Suddenly it's all around
I can see it clearly
I can even hear the sound
It's all so new to me
I'm not the same
If this is love - it's words i feel
Then you're to blame - but can't explain
Mama mama when you look at me
I see love in your eyes
Mama mama softly sweet tender love in your eyes
You are all I live for
Maybe that's enough to say
And you're the one I wrote this song for
Everywhere & everyway

Scrapbook
Six sets smoked on Saturdays
At Barnaby's on State
Countless California calls
We could not stand the wait
We played the pier on Venice beach
The crowd called out for more
Zappa and the Mothers next
We finished with a roar
Jimi was so kind to us
Had us on the tour
We got some education
Like we never got before
Around the world in twenty days
We played most every night
Jet-lag, girls, strange languages
Everyone began to fight
Lowdown at the Caribou
All rumors aside
Was we could never get together
Not unless we tried
Summer with the Beach Boys
We got sand all in our shoes
Made some special music
Everybody sang the blues
At Barnaby's on State
Countless California calls
We could not stand the wait
We played the pier on Venice beach
The crowd called out for more
Zappa and the Mothers next
We finished with a roar
Jimi was so kind to us
Had us on the tour
We got some education
Like we never got before
Around the world in twenty days
We played most every night
Jet-lag, girls, strange languages
Everyone began to fight
Lowdown at the Caribou
All rumors aside
Was we could never get together
Not unless we tried
Summer with the Beach Boys
We got sand all in our shoes
Made some special music
Everybody sang the blues

Gently Ill Wake You
Come to me, baby mine
And I'll make love to you
Just when the sun begins to shine
On the morning dew
I've been gone, far away
The days they seemed like years
Right by your side I'm gonna stay
Kiss away your tears
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
And I'll make sweet love to you
Hold me tight, don't let go
We'll dream the whole day through
I missed you more than you could know
I love only you
Come to me, baby mine
And I'll make love to you
Just when the sun begins to shine
On the morning dew
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
And I'll make sweet love to you
And I'll make love to you
Just when the sun begins to shine
On the morning dew
I've been gone, far away
The days they seemed like years
Right by your side I'm gonna stay
Kiss away your tears
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
And I'll make sweet love to you
Hold me tight, don't let go
We'll dream the whole day through
I missed you more than you could know
I love only you
Come to me, baby mine
And I'll make love to you
Just when the sun begins to shine
On the morning dew
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
Gently I'll wake you
I won't hardly shake you
And I'll make sweet love to you

You get me feeling so hot
Mama, I'm your buttercup

It's getting hotter and I
Don't know if I'll ever stop
Baby

You get it up
You get it up

Hope For Love
Here i go again
Why does the ghost of love still haunt me
It's all been cried about before
It's all been cried about before
Yes, it's all been cried about before
Still it's everywhere
Is it crying to be heard
Don't think you've had your say
Don't think you've had your say
Yes, don't you think you've seen your day
I don't know
No i don't
Don't i know
I don't know
Don't i know
No i don't
I don't know
Not knowing if it's love
Is better than no thoughts of love at all
But it's been cried about before
I guess I'll cry for it some more
It's just the hope for love once more
It's just the hope for love once more
Why does the ghost of love still haunt me
It's all been cried about before
It's all been cried about before
Yes, it's all been cried about before
Still it's everywhere
Is it crying to be heard
Don't think you've had your say
Don't think you've had your say
Yes, don't you think you've seen your day
I don't know
No i don't
Don't i know
I don't know
Don't i know
No i don't
I don't know
Not knowing if it's love
Is better than no thoughts of love at all
But it's been cried about before
I guess I'll cry for it some more
It's just the hope for love once more
It's just the hope for love once more

It was recorded at Caribou Ranch and it was released by Columbia Records on June 14, 1976. The album made it to number three on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on June 21, 1976, a week after its release. It was the band's first album to be certified platinum, on September 14, 1976, and has since been certified multi-platinum. In honor of the group's platinum album achievement, Columbia Records awarded the group a 25-pound bar of pure platinum, made by Cartier. (Billboard magazine reported it as a 30-pound bar.)[Note 1]
