"Beginning To See The Light"
==============================
album _The Velvet Underground_
(The Velvet Underground, 1969)
written by Lou Reed
==============================
Well I'm beginning to see the light
Well I'm beginning to see the light
Some people work very hard
but still they never get it right
Well I'm beginning to see the light
want to tell all you people now
Now-now baby, I'm beginning to see the light
Hey now baby, I'm beginning to see the light
Wine in the morning
and some breakfast at night
Well I'm beginning to see the light
Here we go again
playing the fool again
Here we go again
acting hard again, all right
Well I'm beginning to see the light
I want to tell you, ooohhh
Hey now baby, I'm beginning to see the light
here it comes a softer now
I wore my teeth in my hands
so I could mess the hair of the night, a-ha-ha
Hey, well I'm beginning to see the light
Now-now-now-now-now-now-now-now baby
I'm beginning to see the light now, it's coming softer
Hey now baby, I'm beginning to see the light
I met myself in a dream
and I just wanted to tell you everything was all right
Hey now baby, I'm beginning to see the light
Here comes two of you
which one will you choose
One is black and one is blue
don't know just what to do, all right
Well I'm beginning to see the light
oh now here she comes, ooohhh
Yeah-yeah baby, I'm beginning to see the light, oh
Some people work very hard
but still they never get it right
Well I'm beginning to see the light
oh, it's getting a little softer in the end now
Now-now baby, I'm beginning to see the light
oh, it's coming round again
Hey now-now-now baby, I'm beginning to see the light
one more time
There are problems in these times
but, ooohhh, none of them are mine
Oh baby, I'm beginning to see the light
Here we go again
I thought that you were my friend
Here we go again
I thought that you were my friend
How does it feel to be loved
How does it feel to be loved
How does it feel to be loved, oh
How does it feel to be loved
How does it feel to be loved
How does it feel to be loved
How does it feel to be loved

here's the lyrics to "Beginning to see the light"
from the 1969 Live album
that has some minor differences to the original version
Well, I'm beginning to see the light
Well, I'm beginning to see the light
Some people work very hard
But still they never do it right
Well, I'm beginning to see the light
Well, I'm beginning to see the light
Well, I'm beginning to see the light
A little wine in the morning
And some breakfast at night
Well, I'm beginning to see the light
Here we go again
Playing the fool again
Here we go again
Acting hard again, all right
Well, I'm beginning to see the light, here she comes, whooo-hooo
Well, I'm beginning to see the light
I wore my teeth in my hands
So that I could mess up the hair of the night
Well, I'm beginning to see the light
Yeah now baby, I'm beginning to see the light, see the light
Well, I'm beginning to see the light
I met myself in a dream
And I just wanna tell you it was all right
Well, I'm beginning to see the light
Here comes two of you
Which one will you choose
One is black and one is blue
Don't know just what to do, all right
Yeah now baby, I'm beginning to, oh, see the light now
it's comin' round
Hey, I'm beginning to see the light
Some people work very hard
But still they never do it right
Well, I'm beginning to see the light
Yeah now baby, I'm beginning to see the light, oh see the light
Oh baby, I'm beginning to see the light, see the light
There are problems in these times
But whooo, none of them are mine
Well, I'm beginning to see the light
Here we go again
I thought that you were my friend
Here we go again
I thought that you were my friend
How does it feel to be loved
How does it feel to be loved
How does it feel to be loved, hey, somebody tell me please
How does it feel to be loved, allright
How does it feel to be loved, oh oh
