Stephen Bishop - On and On lyrics

rate me

(Stephen Bishop)

Down in Jamaica

they got lots of pretty women

Steal your money

then they break your heart

Lonesome Sue

She's in love with ol' Sam

She take him from the fire

into the frying pan

On and on

She just keeps on trying

and she smiles

when she feels like crying

On and on...

Poor ol' Jimmy

Sits alone in the moonlight

He saw his woman kiss another man

So he takes a ladder

Steals the stars from the sky

Puts on Sinatra

and starts to cry

CHORUS

When the first time

is the last time

It can make you feel so bad

But if you know it

Show it

Hold on tight

Don't let her say, "Goodnight"

I got the sun on my shoulders

and my toes in the sand

My woman's left me for some other man

Aw, but I don't care

I'll just dream and stay tan

Toss up my heart

to see where it lands

On and on...

I just keep on trying

and I smile

when I feel like dying

On and on...
