Whoa, oh mercy mercy me

Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no no

Where did all the blue skies go?

Poison is the wind that blows

From the north and south and east



Oh mercy mercy me

Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no no

Oil wasted on the oceans and our seas

Ah, fish full of mercury



Ah-ha, ah mercy mercy me

Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no no

Radiation underground and in the sky

Animals and birds who live nearby all die



Whoa mercy mercy me

Oh, things ain't what they used to be

What about this overcrowded land

How much more abuse from man can she stand?



I want you the right way

I want you, but I want you to want me too

Want you to want me baby

Just like I want you



Oh I'll give you all the love that you want in return, sweet darling

Your happyness is all I crave

It's too bad, it's just too sad

You don't want me no more

But I'm gonna change your mind

Some way somehow baby



I want you the right way

I want you, but I want you to want me too

I want you to want me baby

Just like I want you, ooh



Well one way love is just a fantasy, ah sugar

To share is precious, pure and fair, ooh

Don't play with something you should cherish for life, baby

Don't you wanna care?

Lonely out there



I want you the right way

I want you, but I want you to want me too

Want you to want me baby

Just like I want you, ooh
