I once went with a belly dancer,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
Once around I didn't stand a chance
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
But, I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better.
Then I went with a gospel singer,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
She tried to wrap me around her finger, now,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
But, I say I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better.
I, I, I,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
I, I, I,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
I once went with a history teacher,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
I really tried but I couldn't reach her,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
Whoa, I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better.
SOLO
Well, let me tell you now, I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better.
I, I, I,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
I, I, I,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
There were some that I can't remember,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
I think I went with Miss November,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
But, I say I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better.
I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better.

After all the spotlights and the flowers
After all the parties and goodbyes
There was something in the air
Something that we realized we would always share
And it was You and I
You and I
After all the music and the madness
After all the late night fantasies
We knew that we would make it through
There was little in our way
Nothing they could do
'Cause it was You and I and promises not broken
You and I and magic memories
After all was said and done they never understood
How we always made it. We knew we always would
'Cause it was You and I
You and I
Now it seems that we are still together
And all the others never made it through
Someday they'll learn our secret way
It isn't such a secret, it isn't hard to do
'Cause it's You and I and promises not broken
You and I and magic memories
After all was said and done they never understood
How we always made it. We knew we always would
'Cause it was You and I
You and I
You and I
By Barry Mann and Cyntha Weil
When the world and I were young,
Just yesterday.
Live was such a simple game,
A child could play.
It was easy then to tell right from wrong.
Easy then to tell weak from strong.
When a man should stand and fight,
Or just go along.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
I remember when the answers seemed so clear
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear.
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
Selling out from compromise
Who to love and who to hate,
The foolish from the wise.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
[Instumental interlude]
It was easy then to know what was fair
When to keep and when to share.
How much to protect your heart
And how much to care.
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white,
Only shades of gray.
Only shades of gray.
Hey, hey, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help I'm falling again.
Play the drum a little louder,
Tell me I can live without her
If I only listen to the band.
Listen to the band!
Weren't they good, they made me happy.
I think I can make it alone.
Oh, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help I'm falling again.
Play the drum a little bit louder,
Tell them they can live without her
If they only listen to the band.
Listen to the band!
Now weren't they good, they made me happy.
I think I can make it alone.
Oh, woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help I'm falling again.
C'mon, play the drums just a little bit louder,
Tell us we can live without her
Now that we have listened to the band.
by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me,
Like the waves out on the blue sea,
If your love has to tie me,
Don't try me, say good-bye.
I wanna be free,
Don't say you love me, say you like me
But when I need you beside me,
Stay close enough to guide me,
Confide in me, whoa-oh-oh.
I wanna hold your hand,
Walk along the sand,
Laughing in the sun,
Always having fun.
Doing all those things
Without any strings to tie me down.
I wanna be free,
Like the warm September wind, babe,
Say you'll always be my friend, babe,
We can make it to the end, babe,
Again, babe, I've gotta say...
I wanna be free,
I wanna be free,
By Gerry Goffin and Russ Titelman
I'll be true to you, yes I will.
I'll be true to you, yes I will.
I won't look twice when the other girls go by.
I'll be true to you, yes I will.
Somehow this time it's all so clear to me.
The way to go is easy to see.
My heart is sure you're the girl I've waited for.
And I'll be true to you, yes I will.
I used to be the kind,
Who said that ev'ry girl's the say
And love was just a game for having fun,
But when I looked at you,
I knew that I was wrong
And that I really could belong to only one.
I'll be true to you, yes I will.
Ev'ry dream that you have, I'll fulfill.
I never promised this to anyone before
But I'll be true to you, yes I will.
Yes, I'll be true to you, yes I will.
By Diane Hilderbrand and Jack Keller
She knows her mind all right, your Auntie Grizelda,
She says she knows my kind, she might, maybe so.
Oh, yeah, she's raised you right, your Auntie Grizelda,
You only know the things she wants you to know.
I know she's having a fit,
She doesn't like me a bit,
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda.
You can't begrudge her style, your Auntie Grizelda,
She couldn't budge a smile and do it for free.
So righteous making fudge, your Auntie Grizelda,
So proper judging others over her tea.
You look just like her you do,
I know by looking at you,
That you've been listening to your Auntie Grizelda.
[ad lib]
Oh, no, don't look at me like Auntie Grizelda
It takes much more to be someone of your own.
You've got to make it free from Auntie Grizelda
Or just like her you'll have to make it alone.
I know she's having a fit,
She doesn't like me a bit,
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda.
Auntie Grizelda, Auntie Grizelda
Its old enough to try and tie you down
So, I just couldn't wait and hang around
You always said must be free
But you couldn't see you were loosing me
And messing up the one good thing we had
CHORUS:
And now I'm going out the way that I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl I wont be back
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
I told myself that things would be ok
You would come around to my way any day
As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldn't chang or be rearranged
I'm picking up the pieces of my life
CHORUS
As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldn't chang or be rearranged
I'm picking up the pieces of my life
CHORUS
Behind me...
by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
(She!) She told me that she loved me,
And like a fool I believed her from the start
(She!) She said she'd never hurt me,
But then she turned around and broke my heart.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
(She!) She devoured all my sweet love,
Took all I had and then she fed me dirt
(She!) She laughed while I was crying
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
And now I know just why she keeps me hanging 'round,
(Hanging 'round)
She needs someone to walk on so her feet don't touch the ground
(Don't touch the ground)
But I love her! (Love her!)
I need her! (Need her!)
I want her! (Want her!)
Yeah! (Yeah!) Yeah! (Yeah!)
Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-She!
SOLO
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong, now
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
(She!) Why am I missing her?
(She!) I should be kissing her!
(She!) Why am I missing her?
(She!) I should be kissing her!
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, can I go too?
This one thing I will vow ya
I'd rather die than to live without ya
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, tell me truly
What did I do to make you leave me?
Whatever it was I didn't mean to
You know I never would try and hurt ya
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
What more, Mary, can I do
To prove my love is truly yours?
I've done more now
Than a clear-thinkin' man would do
Mary, Mary, it's not over
Where you go, I will follow
'Til I win your love again
And walk beside you but until then
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary
Where you goin' to?
Oh Mary,where you goin' to?

I wonder just how long it would be,
Me without you, you without me.
We had a fight last night about something or other,
But it can't be too important if we love one another,
Whoa, true love always seems to take a little bit longer,
But, every time we break up, we make up a little bit stronger.
I wonder just how long it would be,
Me without you, you without me.
SOLO
Let me tell you now,
I wonder just how long it would be,
Me without you, you without me,
Me without you, and you without me,

Look out, here comes tomorrow,
That's when I'll have to choose.
How I wish I could borrow,
Someone else's shoes.
Mary, oh what a sweet girl,
Lips like strawberry pie.
Sandra, the long hair and pig tails,
Can't make up my mind.
I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come
Told them both that I loved them,
Said it, and it was true.
But I can't have both of them
Don't know what to do.
I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come
[Instrumental]
I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.

If you have the time, would you keep me in mind?
Mind you, I only want to treat you kind,
If you're all alone, would you pick up the phone
And dial the number that you know will bring back the glow
That's been gone for such a long, long time?
I feel like I'm just acting like a fool,
Talking to my pillow,
Once a happy fellow, was I,
I know that I'll get over you if I have to,
But do I have to?
I don't want to spend another day
Being so far away from the girl that I love. (Love, love, love)

Flying down the highway, looking for a place to land,
I need to leave the speed in the city,
And people come and go and there's no time to understand,
And I keep moving down the road taking notes in a trembling hand,
I asked Sally to go with me but she made it very clear,
She said, "You've got your problems and I have mine, dear."
Up to the sunlit mountain, down by the silver sea,
Well, the tale is told from memory of a finely woven symphony,
Forever heard without a word to disturb this melody,
Still, I'd like to have someone along to share the air with me,
Oh, Sally, why not come with me, you know I'd like be with you?
You can't be all that busy, you don't have that much to do,
by David Jones & Steve Pitts
Now that the party's over,
Now that the noise is through,
Now that the room is empty,
There's only me and you,
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you.
There were so many people
Trying to talk to you,
Telling you how they need you,
Trying to get to you,
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you.
Thoughts ring through my head,
All the things that you said
Didn't seem to matter early on,
But, now that the people have gone,
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you.
Now that you know how I feel,
Everything's up to you,
Now that the party's over
Tell me what I should do,
I think that I might just fall in love with you, with you,
With you, with you,
With you, with you,

Valleri. I love my Valleri.
There's a girl I know who makes me feel so good.
And I wouldn't live without her, even if I could.
They call her Valleri.
I love my Valleri.

She's the same little girl who used to hang around my door.
But she sure looks different than the way she looked before.
I call her Valleri.
I love my Valleri.

Valleri. I love my Valleri.
I love my Valleri.

By Bill Chadwick and John Chadwick
The king of Zor, he called for war
And the king of Zam, he answered.
They fashioned their weapons one upon one
Ton upon ton, they called for war at the rise of the sun.
Out went the call to one and to all
That echoed and rolled like the thunder.
Trumpets and drums, roar upon roar
More upon more.
Rolling the call of ";Come now to war.";
Throughout the night they fashioned their might
With right on the side of the mighty.
They puzzled their minds plan upon plan
Man upon man
And at dying of dawn the great war began.
They met on the battlefield banner in hand.
They looked out across the vacant land.
And they counted the missing, one upon one,
None upon none.
The war it was over before it begun.
Two little kings playing a game.
They gave a war and nobody came.
And nobody came.
And nobody came.
And nobody came.
And nobody came.

When love comes knockin' at your door
Just open up and let 'im in.
It's gonna be a magic carpet ride;
So little girl now don't you run and hide.
I know that you've been hurt before
But don't you be afraid no more.
Throw off the chains that bind
And leave the past behind;
When love comes knocking at your door.
When love comes knocking at your door
Just open up and let 'im in.
It's gonna be a magic carpet ride;
So little girl now don't you run and hide.
You'll see a rainbow ev'ry day,
The sun will shine in ev'ry way.
Throw off the chains that bind
And leave the past behind;
No need to worry anymore,
When love comes knocking at your door
At your door,
At your door,
At your door.
Ah.
With his fool's gold stacked up all around him
From a killing in the market on the war
The children left King Midas there, as they found him
In his counting house where nothing counts but more
CHORUS:
And he thought he heard the echo of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer
Well, it's travel onto ";maybe next year"; 's places
As a trade-in for a name upon the door
And he pays for every year he cannot buy back with his tears
As he finds out there's been no one keeping score
CHORUS...
by Jeff Barry
Oh, tell me, love and tell me truly,
Do you believe this is forever?
Well, I'll tell you, love, that I believe you,
Oh, when you tell me that you will leave me never.
Oh, tell me, love, are my words a waste?
Tell me, love, are my lips to your taste?
'Cause I want to please you, I want to please you.
And tell me, love, do you know you amaze me?
You keep changing for the better with every passing day,
Well, I'll tell you, love, sometimes it kind of scares me,
I've got to keep on getting to you so you don't get away.
Oh, tell me, love, are my words a waste?
And tell me, love, are my lips to your taste?
'Cause I want to please you, I want to please you.
So, tell me, love,
Please, tell me, love,
Tell me, love.

Do You Feel It Too?
by Jeff Barry & Andy Kim
I'm like a toy balloon and someone cruel has cut the string,
I'm drifting out of sight, my head's too light to find a thing,
Oh, baby, life is like a cartoon movie,
Being with you makes it groovy,
Everything you do is new to me.
And do you feel it, too?
Do you find an added joy in every little thing you do?
Whoa, do you feel it, too?
Do you find the only thing that matters now is me and you?
I can't believe my ears, you know I hear such crazy sounds,
Each time I talk to you and walk with you I'm off the ground,
Oh, baby, love is great, you just can't top it,
Got the ball, we mustn't drop it,
Girl, there ain't a thing can stop it now.
And do you feel it, too?
Do you find an added joy in every little thing you do?
Whoa, do you feel it, too?
Do you find the only thing that matters now is me and you?
Tell me, baby.

Girl, this is goodbye for us,
I'm afraid there's no two ways about it,
Now you say you need my love,
But you'll just have to learn to live without it.
So goes love,
Don't try to understand it,
Oh, so goes love,
It never goes the way you planned it.
When you meant the world to me,
That's the time you said you didn't want me,
You played around in front of me,
Yeah, you did everything you could to taunt me.
So goes love,
Don't try to understand it,
Oh, so goes love,
And, when it dies, you can't disguise it.
It's been said you've made your bed
And now you have to lie in it,
There's no denying it's a shame,
But there's really no one else for you to blame.
Oh, so goes love,
Don't try to understand it,
Oh, so goes love,

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
And it cannot rejoice
Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky
But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye
good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style
Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie
But the porpoise is waiting good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Why is it never enough
No matter what I do?
I gave it all that I've got
And it's always too few
And now you're asking for more
Why do I hesitate?
'Cause I know in the end
That it's always too late
And not enough for you
I've often heard you say
You've got to seize the day
That when your life is gone,
Oh how it's gone for so long
But there are often times
When life is not so kind
And there are those around
Who need your feet on the ground
And it's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance
To fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cause it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you
Oh, I long for all those years
Wasted alone with these endless tears
And it's not enough
It's never enough

Ev'ryone in town knew Mr. Webster;
He worked at the bank for forty years.
And each week Mr. Frizby made his check out
For sixty-eight dollars clear.
And thru the years he thwarted twenty-seven robberies
And each time Frizby promised him a raise.
They gave a retirement party for Mr. Webster
Everyone from the bank was there.
They had a cake and flowers ordered special
And Frizby had a speech prepared.
And a little white box that held a watch with this inscription
";To Mr. Webster, with regards.";
Then came the telegram from Mr. Webster
Said, ";Sorry...stop...Cannot attend..
I've flown away and taken all your money
Wish you were here to help me spend.";
And one by one all the people left the party
And Mr. Frizby locked the door.
Do I have to do this all over again?
Didn't I do it right the first time?
Do I have to do this all over again?
How many times do I have to make this climb?
Didn't I? Didn't I?
Can I see my way to know what's really real
They say time can fix things by itself
I know life's more than just some kind of deal
Won't you tell me what all, when my soul comes off the shelf
Didn't I, oh, didn't I?
Do I have to do this all over again?
Didn't I do it right the first time?
Do I have to do this all over again?
How many times do I have to make this climb?
Didn't I?...

It's my life and I'm takin' over now
It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now
I stumble and I fall
And I think about it all
Then I make amends
But it never ends
And I've just begun to wonder why
And I listen to the songs,
And I read all the words,
And I seem to remember something that I heard
Of a fire and a cave and shadows on the wall
It's my life and I'm takin' over now
It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now
I wanna believe in the miracles
But they mix me up. Then they pass the cup
And I've just begun to look the other way
And I don't want to lean on the stars or on the dreams
On the fantasies or the deities
Don't I think it's time to lean on me?
It's my life and I'm takin' over now
It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
There were tears in her eyes when she gave me the news last night
I tried to disguise all the hurt that I felt inside
She said she'd always like to be my friend
Ooh, what could I say - this was the end
She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't need me no more
We stood by the door and she put her hand in mine
Could have fell through the floor when we said our last goodbye
I just stood and watched her walk away
The love of my life is leaving today
She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't love me no more
Suddenly, she was gone
How sad it feels to be alone
Now there's a stranger in my shoes
Some you win, and some you lose
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na na
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na na
She said she'd always like to be my friend
Ooh, what could I say - is this the end
She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't need me no more
She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico, she's moving in with Rico

Every face that I see
Is all wrapped up in frowns,
And, unfortunately,
It kind of gets me down.
Laugh, 'cause the music is funny,
Yeah, the bass sounds off-beat, ain't that neat,
Laugh, when you lose all your money,
Or you can't find your shoes to cover your feet.
It's not so hard to see
Exactly what I'm after,
Sometimes a tear should fall,
But, I require giggles and chuckles. (Ho-ho-ho)
Laugh, when you're keeping a secret,
And it seems to be known by the rest of the world,
Laugh, when you go to a party,
And you can't tell the boys from the girls.
Every face that I see
Is all wrapped up in frowns,
And, unfortunately,
It kind of gets me down.
Yay-yay-yay, laugh, at the things that are wrong,
If you thinks it's this song, then laugh,
Then laugh,
Then laugh.

I've been standing on the corner all day,
Trying to think of little things to say,
'Cause she walks by every day about this time,
And I can't, I can't get her off of my mind.
I only met her about a week ago,
But, the way she smiled let me know
She could see that maybe we were two-of-a-kind,
And I can't, I can't get her off of my mind.
She's so pretty,
I couldn't believe she'd ever look-a my way,
Ah, but the way I'm feeling,
I'm gonna be stealing that little girl's heart today.
I'm so happy I could almost fly,
And I guess you know the reason why,
I'm walking down the street with her little hand in mine,
And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind.

And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind.
In a long and involved conversation with myself
I saw a precious thing come into view
When I poured through the files taken off my mental shelf
I dusted off some memories of you
Then I thought about the times
When all the world was green
How the pheonix of our love first flapped its silver wings
All the urgency and passion of each new day as it happened
And how it all mellowed as it grew
I remember the times that our laughter would explode
And how you would turn to hide your smile
Then the hours of silence while the perfumed candle glowed
And both of us meandered on for miles
I remember the time I said I really had to go
I remember the tears that filled your eyes
Then I touched your hand and told you that it really was a lie
And though you never knew I did, I cried
It's amazing how time can so softly change your ways
And make you look at things that can't be seen
How the years that roll by can start you listening
Not just to what they say, but what they mean
So forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied
If the razor edge of youth filled love is gone
But we're both a little older, our relationship has grown
Not just in how it's shaped, but how it's shown
So forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied
If the razor edge of youth filled love is gone
But we're both a little older and our relationship has grown
Not just in how it's shaped, but how it's shown
Out of sight, out of mind
It doesn't hold true, in my storybook of you
Turn a page back in time
That's all I can do
In my storybook of you
First in love
Then afraid
Somehow every story must come to an end
Oh, it happened too soon
In my storybook of you
Out of sight, out of mind
It doesn't hold true, in my story book of you
Of you...

From Justus
It breaks my heart to say ";Goodbye";
I know that I deserve to cry
I know that time will see me through
But in this mean time
All I dream about is you
Unlucky stars are in my sky
My fortune teller, she saw me and cried
She said that I might have to wait
My lucky ship is lost
And comin' in too late
Unlucky stars
Unlucky stars
Venus and Mars
Are up in arms
If now it's time to let to
Give me some time to let you know
That I adored you till the end
I couldn't stand another day without a friend
I couldn't stand another day without a friend

I've got a ticket on a ferry ride,
I've got a ticket and it hurts inside,
I wonder if she knows
That I don't really want to go, oh, no,
I still love her so.
I've got a ticket on a ferry ride,
I've got a ticket and it hurts inside,
I never thought the day
Would come when I would say goodbye this way,
Wanted so to stay.
(I've got a ticket on a ferry ride)
I still love her so,
Don't really want to go.
(I've got a ticket on a ferry ride)

I still love her so.
I've got a ticket on a ferry ride,
I've got a ticket and it hurts inside,
I've got a ticket on a ferry ride,

You and I have seen what time does, haven't we?
We both had time to grow, you know,
We've got more growing to do, me and you,
And the rest of them, too.
You can see the changes we've been going through,
Such a pity, what a shame, who can we blame?
You and me, me and you,
And the rest of them, too.
In a year or maybe two,
We'll be gone and someone new will take our place,
There'll be another song,
Another voice, another pretty face.
SOLO
You and I have seen what time does, haven't we?
We both had time to grow, you know,
We've got more growing to do, me and you,
Just a loud mouth Yankee I went down to Mexico.
I didn't have much time to spend, about a week or so.
There I lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so.
But I found myself a-thinkin' when the time had come to go...
CHORUS:
What am I doin' hangin' round?
I should be on that train and gone.
I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone,
What am I doin' hangin' round?
She took me to the garden just for a little walk.
I didn't know much Spanish and there was no time for talk.
Then she told me that she loved me not with words but with a kiss.
And like a fool I kept on thinkin' of a train I could not miss...
CHORUS
Well it's been a year or so, and I want to go back again.
And if I get the money, well I'll ride the same old train.
But I guess your chances come but once and boy I sure missed mine.
And still I can't stop thinkin' when I hear some whistle cryin'....
CHORUS (repeat)

(1...2...3...4...
We're gonna get it this time, man!)
Time and time again,
Naughty girls get me in trouble,
When I fly too high,
Something's bound to burst the bubble.
You say this is love,
Wonder if you're feeling lonely,
Tell me, if you please,
Is this for this evening, only?
Or will it be for a long, long time?
Or just a passing fancy?
Will it be for a long, long time?
I feel as though it can be.
I'll just wait and see,
What tomorrow has to bring me,
A love that is oh-so true,
Or another girl that's free and easy.
SOLO
So, I'll just wait and see,
What tomorrow has to bring me,
A love that is oh-so true,
Or another girl that's free and easy.

And again,

And again,
And again,
And again,
And again,
And again,

Did you buy your tickets for the war game?
Aren't you glad that your sitting in the back?
For the game is deadly-heavy for the players,
Aren't you glad it's a spectator sport?
Can't you hear the cries?
It isn't over,
Can't you smell the fear?
It's all over.
If you want to play the game, you must have training,
Choose your side, pick your toy, but play to win,
Don't be sad if you lose, it isn't over,
Choose a side and begin the game again.
Can't you hear the cries?
It isn't over,
Can't you smell the fear?
It's all over.
Don't have to play the game if you don't want to,
You can sit at home and hear it on the news,
They will show you colored pictures of the killings,
They want you to feel that you're part of it, too.
Can't you hear the cries?
It isn't over,
Don't you smell the fear?
It's all over,
The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song
Seranade the weekend squire, who just came out to mow his lawn
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care
See Mrs. Gray she's proud today because her roses are in bloom
Mr. Green he's so serene, He's got a t.v. in every room
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand
Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray, to places far away
I need a change of scenery
Ta Ta Ta...
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

Know that something very strange
Is happening to my brain.
I'm either feeling very good
Or else I am insane.
The seeds of doubt you planted
Have started to grow wild
But feel that I must yield before
The wisdom of a child
And it's love you bring,
No that I can't deny,
With your wings,
I can learn to fly,
Sweet young thing.
People try to talk to me
Their words are ugly sounds
But I resist all their attempts
To try and bring me down..
Turned on to the sunset,
Like I've never done before.
And I listen for your footsteps
And your know upon the door.
And it's love you bring,
With dreams of bluer skies
All these things,
When I seem them in your eyes
Sweet young thing.
By Tommy Boyce and Steve Venet
I'm gonna pack up my pain,
I been a keepin' in my heart,
I'm gonna catch me the fastest train
And make me a brand new start
But that's okay,
Tomorrow's gonna be another day,
Hey, hey, hey.
And I don't care what they say
Tomorrow's gonna be, tomorrow's gonna be,
Tomorrow's gonna be another day.
Yay, yay, yay,
Yay, yay, yay.
They say there's a lotta fish,
Swimmin' in the deep blue sea,
I'm gonna catch me a pretty one
And she'll be good to me.
But that's okay,
Tomorrow's gonna be another day,
Hey, hey, hey.
And I don't care what they say
Tomorrow's gonna be, tomorrow's gonna be,
Tomorrow's gonna be another day.
Yay, yay, yay,
Yay, yay, yay.
Well, I ain't gonna think about ya,
'Cause it ain't no use no more,
I'm gonna make it fine without ya,
Just like I did before,
I'm on my way.
Tomorrow's gonna be another day,
Hey, hey, hey.
And I don't care what they say
Tomorrow's gonna be, tomorrow's gonna be,
Tomorrow's gonna be another day.
Yay, yay, yay,
Yay, yay, yay.

Riu riu chiu, la guarda ribera;
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera,
Dios guardo el lobo de neustra cordera.
El lobo rabioso la quiso morder,
Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender;
Quisola hazer que no pudiese pecar,
Ni aun original esta Virgen no tuviera.
Riu, riu chiu...
Este qu'es nacido es el gran monarca,
Christo patriarca de carne vestido;
Hemos redemido con se hazer chiquito,
Aunqu'era infinito, finito se hiziera.
Riu, riu chiu...
Translated:
River, roaring river, guard our homes in safety,
God has kept the black wolf from our lamb, our Lady.
God has kept the black wolf from our lamb, our Lady.
Raging mad to bite her, there the wolf did steal,
But our God Almighty defended her with zeal.
Pure He wished to keep Her so She could never sin,
That first sin of man never touched the Virgin sainted.
River, roaring river...
He who's now begotten is our mighty Monarch,
Christ, our Holy Father, in human flesh embodied.
He has brough atonement by being born so humble,
Though He is immortal, as mortal was created.
River, roaring river...

No heartaches felt no longer lonely
Heights of waiting finally won me
Happiness that's all rolled up in you
And now with you as inspriation
I look toward a destination
Sunny bright that once before was blue
I have no more than I did before
But now I've got all that I need
For I love you and I know you love me
So take my hand I'll start my journey
Free from all the helpless worry
That besets a man when he's alone
For strength is mine when we're together
And with you I know I'll never
Have to pass the high road for the low
I have no more than I did before
But now I've got all that I need
'Cause I love you and I know you love me
Yes, I love you and I... know... you....love....me!!!!!!!!

If you think I want the life you choose to live,
I don't think I want the love you've got to give,
If you think my goals could be so trivial and small,
Well, I don't think you know me at all.
Born between the covers of your fashion books,
You think you can make it, girl, on just your looks,
You could never bring me up, between us stands a wall,
No, I don't think you know me at all.
SOLO
Believing in the promise painted in your smile,
I've chased what I was running from, girl, all the while,
I've known you a hundred times in memories I recall,
Still/But, I don't think you know me at all,
