Sail On Lyrics

Artist: The Commodores

SAIL ON
The Commodores

Sail on down the line
Bout a half a mile or so
And a don't really wanna know a
Where you're goin
Maybe once or twice you see
Time after time I tried-a to,
To hold on to what we got
But a now you're goin
And I don't mind
About the things you're gonna say Lord
I gave all my money, and my time
I know it's a shame
But I'm givin you back your name
Yeah, yeah.
Yes I'll be on my way
I won't be back to stay
I guess I'll move along
I'm lookin for a good time.
Sail on down the line,
Ain't it funny how time can gon on-a
friends say they told me so,
But it doesn't matter.
It was plain to see that a small town boy like me
Just-a wasn't your cup of tea,
It was wishful thinkin.
I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy,
And you gave me nothin in return.
You know, it ain't so hard to say,
Would you please just go away.
Yeah, yeah.
I've thrown away the blue
I'm tired of being used,
I want everyone to know
I'm lookin for a good time.
Good time, yeah.
Sail on down the line,
Ain't it funny how time can gon on-a
friends say they told me so,
But it doesn't matter.
It was plain to see that a small town boy like me
Just-a wasn't your cup of tea,
It was wishful thinkin.
I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy,
And you gave me nothin in return.
You know, it ain't so hard to say,
Would you please just go away.
Yeah, yeah.
Got nothin else to lose,
I'm tired of being used,
I want everyone to know
I'm lookin for a good time,
Good time, yeah.
Whoa oh,
Sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good.
Sail on sugar,
Good times never felt so goo.
Sail on.

One of my favorite songs.....I LOVE Lionel Richie (that man is magic when it comes to music).
by David on 11/21/2012 7:28am
Great song, I always liked the lyrics and especially the crescendo near the end. Saw Lionel a dozen years ago and it was probably the best show I have ever seen...the guy oozes talent and really gave Micahel Jackson a run for his money in the '80s!
