Words and music by John Kay and Michael Palmer



Tell me what you've got to give me

Tell me what you've got that's free

All I want is all you got, hey

You would do the same to me



That's all I seem to hear, day in, day out

Where it not for your sweet love, I'd scream and shout



Every day's a new beginning

But every night the same old end

Will the good times really come again

Will a dollar buy a quarter

Will a quarter buy some time

Time enough to save the Five and Dime



Somebody, tell me it's all right (it's all right)

To believe that it's all over

Tell me it's o.k. (it's o.k.)

Happy days are on their way



All I ever want ( to feel right)

Is the best of everything (come tomorrow)

All I ever need (it's o.k.)

Is a perfect world today
