Poor Girl
(4:05)
Stevens
This is a story "bout a poor girl, a story that you ought to know
She lives all alone in a one room flat on the street where the lights are low
And every night about the same time, she go and put her glad rags on
Goes to the place where everyone goes to boogaloo all night long
She's a poor girl
Born and raised in the country, she got tired of pushing a plow
She came by train to the city and mother, you should look at her now
With her rattlesnake boots, elephant bag, genuine crocodile hat
Around her neck, to top it off, she even wears a persian cat
She's a poor girl
{Instrumental}
That was the story of the poor girl, but now she uses her head
She's back home workin' on the land instead of playing in bed
The fast life she was living took her as its' prey
Now she's back in the country gettin' fatter every day
She's a poor girl
Money Can't Save Your Soul
(5:31)
Simmonds / Peverett
Well, you got a new man and that's good for you
And you've got alot of money, but what good will that do
When he leaves you on the side and the money falls away
You'll come runnin' back baby, heed what I say
Money can't save your soul, you better leave now while it still ain't old
Money can't ease your mind, come back and leave it all behind
You're in his house and it sure looks fine
With three other girls, but you're the first in line
And what will happen when your time comes 'round?
Money will go and you'll be homeward bound
Money can't save your soul, you better leave now while it still ain't old
Money can't ease your mind, come back and leave it all behind
{Instrumental}

Money can't ease your mind, come back and leave it all behind
oh yeah-hey yeah

Looking In
(5:14)
Simmonds / Peverett
Looking in from the outside, I wish my mind could read the score
Someday a door will open, then I'll know, then I'll see, what I'm striving for
If I could get an answer, if someone would give me a clue
I know I'd feel much better, but I can't find anyone to put my question to
When I'm old and wiser, I'll look back on my youth
Will I be contented? Or will I see nothing but a vain search for the truth?
{Instrumental}
When I'm old and wiser, I'll look back on my youth
Will I be contented? Or will I see nothing but a vain search for the truth?
I wish I knew better baby, my mind wouldn't be so sore
Someday a door will open, then I'll know, then I'll see, what I'm striving for
{Instrumental}

Take It Easy
(5:41)
Simmonds / Peverett
Well I know you're built for action, but you just live your life too fast
If you don't slow down pretty soon, your good days will have passed
So take it easy baby, there ain't no need to worry
The world won't end tonight, so tell me whats the hurry
You shoud enjoy the long, long journey, savor every hill and bend
You're gonna get there sooner or later, so don't worry 'bout the end
Just take it easy baby, there ain't no need to worry
The world won't end tonight, so tell me whats the hurry
You know the law of gravity says what goes up has to come down
And the faster you reach the limit, the sooner you'll come to ground
So, take it easy baby, there ain't no need to worry
The world won't end tonight, so tell me whts the hurry
You know, you shouldn't worry 'bout the future while you are still well in your prime
Just take it as you find it, ad you'll enjoy it every time
Just take it easy baby, there ain't no need to worry
The world won't end tonight, so tell me whats the hurry
Take your time
{Instrumental}

Leavin' Again
(8:26)
Stevens, Peverett
See ya' later alligator
I'm leavin' again, long way to go
It's a sad sad feeling, we already know
Ticket's bought and the contract's signed
It's too late to change my mind
Leavin' again, help me pack my case
I'll be a long long time, in another place
I'm working for something, and it ain't no lie
It could have taken me, a lifetime to buy
{Instrumental}
I'm leavin' again when the night has gone
So lets make love, while to time, time rolls on
Time rolls on to another day
And this time tomorrow I'll be gone so far away
I'm leavin' , leavin'
{Instrumental}
I'm leavin' when the night, the night has gone
So lets make love while the time rolls on
The time rolls on, rolls on to another day
This time tomorrow, I'll be so, so, so far away
I'm leavin', Yes [ ? ], I'm cuttin' out, [ ? ]
Oooh whoa I'm leavin', Ooooh whoaa
