My old flame
I can't even think of her name
But it's funny now and then
How my thoughts go flashing back again
To my old flame
My old flame
My new lovers all seem so tame
'Cause I haven't met a girl
So magnificent or elegant
As my old flame
I've met so many who had fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Some who took me up to the sky's
But their attempts at love
Were only imitations of
My old flame
I can't even think of her name
But I'll never be the same
Until I discover what became
Of my old flame
My old flame
I can't even think of her name
But I'll never be the same
Until I discover what became
Of my old flame
My old flame
When whippoorwills call and evening is nigh
I hurry to my, my blue heaven
A turn to the right, you see a little white light
Will lead you to my, my blue heaven
You'll see a smilin' face, a fireplace, a cozy room
A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom
Just baby and me, oh how happy we'll be
Together in my, my blue heaven
You'll see a smilin' face, a fireplace, a cozy room
A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom
Just baby and me, oh how happy we'll be
Together in my, my blue heaven
We're happy in my, my blue heaven
We're happy in my, happy in my blue heaven
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer
Well, I went upon a mountain
I looked down in the sea
I seen the crowds and the fishes
Doing the be bop beep
Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer
Well, I'm standing on the corner
With a bucket in my hand
I'm a waitin' for a woman
That ain't got no man
Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer
Well, me and my baby
We bought a Ford
And now we sit together
On the running board
Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yes, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer
I Wanna Be Loved
Ricky Nelson
Music by Johnny Green Lyrics by Billy Rose and Edward Heyman
I wanna be loved with inspiration,
I wanna be loved starting tonight.
Instead of merely holding conversation
Hold me tight!
I wanna be loved, I crave affection,
Those kisses of yours, I'd gladly share,
I want your eyes to shine in my direction.
Make me care!
I want the kind of romance that should be strong
And equally as tender.
I only ask for the chance to knowthe meaning
Of the word "surrender"
I wanna be thrilled by only you, dear,
I wanna be thrilled by your caress.
I wanna find each dream of mine come true, dear,I wanna be loved!
I wanna be loved with inspiration,
I wanna be loved starting tonight.
Instead of merely holding conversation
Hold me tight!
I wanna be kissed until I tingle,
I wanna be kissed, starting tonight,
Embrace me till our heartbeats intermingle,
Wrong or right.
I'm in the mood to adore,
I'm ready for that well known turtle doving,
I'm in no mood to resist,
And I insist the world owes me a loving
I wanna be thrilled to desperation,
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight.
With ev'ry kind of wonderful sensation,
I wanna be loved!

String along, that's all I am is just your
String along, someone that you just seem to
Bring along whenever you are all alone, need some company
You always turn to me
String along (string along), that's all I do is sorta
String along (string along), you never seem to notice
I'm along, I just want you to want me, too
A Teenager's Romance
Ricky Nelson
Music and lyrics by David Gillam
"A Teenager's Romance" was on the flip side of "I'm Walking" and
entered the charts. After that, every episode of Ozzie and Harriet
ended with Ricky and his combo playing a rock 'n' roll tune.
Bah, bah, bah, but
Bah, bah, bah, but
Bah, bah, bah, bah. bah. bah, but
Do do do do do do
Bah, bah, bah, but
Bah, bah, bah, but
Bah, bah, bah, bah. bah. bah, but
A teenager's romance is fickled or true
A teenager's romance is red hot or blue
You're either in misery or high on a crest
A teenager's romance is like all the rest
They tell us we're different
We haven't the right
To decide for ourselves, dear
What's black and what's white
Keep saying you love me
And they'll look upon
A teenager's romance
That goes on and on
A Teenage Idol
Ricky Nelson
Music and lyrics by Jack Lewis
Some people call me a teenage idol
Some people say they envy me
I guess they got no way of knowing
How lonesome I can be
I need somebody to be my baby
Someone to tell my troubles to
I've got no time to ever find her
Cause I'm just passing through
I travel around from town to lonely town
I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone
If I find fortune and fame and lots of people know my name
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone
I get no rest when I'm feeling weary
I got to pack my bags and go
I got to be somewhere tomorrow
To smile and do my show
I travel around from town to lonely town
I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone
If I find fortune and fame and lots of people know my name
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone
Some people call me a teenage idol
Some people say they envy me
I guess they got no way of knowing
How lonesome I can be
How lonesome I can be

There’s nothing I can say,

Young emotions are mixed emotions
For it's a world where love and confusion reign
A world of hope and laughter and tears and pain
At times a gentle breeze in a hurricane
A world full of doubt but love works it out
Young emotions are strange emotions
For though we're brave, sometimes we are so afraid
But knowing there are memories to be made
We'll face each new tomorrow, dear, undismayed
For our love will keep us together
And our love will help us to weather
These young emotions
[Instrumental first line]
For though we're brave, sometimes we are so afraid
But knowing there are memories to be made
We'll face each new tomorrow, dear, undismayed
For our love will keep us together
And our love will help us to weather

***, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now
Yes, ma'm, we've decided
No ma'm, we ain't gonna hide it
Yes, ma'm, you're invited now
By the way, by the way
When we walk up to the preacher I'll say
Yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now

By the way, by the way
When we run into the preacher I'll say
I'll say yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now
A Wonder Like You
- Artist: Ricky Nelson
- peak Billboard position # 11 in 1961
- Words and Music by Jerry Fuller
I've seen the snow-white mountains of Alaska
I've sailed along the rivers of Peru
I've seen the world and all its Seven Wonders
But I've never seen a wonder like you
I've stood upon the pyramids of Egypt
Far away across the ocean blue
I've seen the island beauties of Hawaii
But I've never seen a beauty like you
I've gazed at the White Cliffs Of Dover
There's not a place I didn't see
Now that my travels are over
I wish you had been there with me
I've seen the pretty dancing girls of Siam
The happy Polynesian people, too
But they're not as happy as I am
'cause they haven't got a wonder like you
It's up to you
Because I've done everything I can
I hope that you
Will say that I'm your lovin' man
Make up your mind
And do what you're gonna do
Well you know how I feel
So I'm leaving it up to you
It's all so clear
That I would give everything I own
To have you near
Never leave me all alone
I need your love
So, darling, please be fair
Let me know where I stand
And I hope that you say you care
Well I've laid my cards on the table
And its oh so plain to see
That I'm ready, willing and able
To love you faithfully
It's up to you
No, it's not for me to say
You love me too
Oh, but I hope you feel that way
Make up your mind
And do what you're gonna do
Well you know how I feel
So I'm leaving it up to you
[Instrumental]
Make up your mind
And do what you're gonna do
Well you know how I feel
So I'm leaving it up to you
It's up to you
Darling, it's up to you
Baby, it's up to you
Darling, it's up to you
Baby, it's up to you
Darling. it's up to you
Baby, it's up to you
I'm Walking
Ricky Nelson
Music and lyrics by Antoine Domino and Dave Bartholomew
Ricky decided to record Fats Domino's "I'm Walking" because it contained
the only two chords he knew how to play. He sang the song at the end of
the TV show on April 10, 1957.
I'm walking, yes indeed I'm talking
For you and me and I'm hoping
That you'll come back to me
I'm lonely as I can be
And I've waited for your company
And I'm hoping that you'll come back to me
Whatcha gonna do when the well runs dry
You gonna run away and hide
I'm gonna run right by your side
For you, pretty baby, I'd even die
I'm walking, yes indeed I'm talking
For you and me and I'm hoping
That you'll come back to me
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love
My heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Just open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Well open up your heart and let this fool rush in
I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away
I must follow you
Ever since you touched my hand I know
The near you I always must be
And nothing can keep you from me
You are my destiny
I love you, I love you, I love you
And where you go I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow
You'll always be my true love, my true love, my true
love
From now until forever, forever, forever
I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away, away from my love
I love you, I love you, I love you
And where you go I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow
You'll always be my true love, my true love, my true
love
From now until forever, forever, forever
I will follow you
Follow you wherever you may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
keep me away, away from my love
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When the skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
So please don't take
My sunshine
Away
The other night dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke dear
I was mistaken
And I held
My head
And cried
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When the skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine
Away
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When the skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine
Away
I been a-waitin' in school all day long
A-waitin' on the bell to ring so I can go home
Throw my books on the table, pick up the telephone
"Hello, baby, let's get somethin' goin'"
Headin' down to the drugstore to get a soda pop
Throw a nickel in the jukebox, then we start to rock
My school gal baby, gonna tell ya some news
You sure look good in them baby-doll shoes
Well, it's a-one, two, a-pull off my shoes
A-three, four, get out on the floor
A-five, six, come get your kicks
Down on the corner of Lincoln and a-forty-six, yeah
I've been a-waitin' in school all day long
A-waitin' on the bell to ring so I could go home
Throw my books on the table, pick up the telephone
"Hello, baby, let's get somethin' goin'"
Headin' down to the drugstore to get a soda pop
Throw a nickel in the jukebox, then we start to rock
My school gal baby, gonna tell ya some news

Down on the corner of Lincoln and a-forty-six
You gotta move, start rockin', baby
A rockin', rockin', baby
Gonna rock all night, rock all night
Don't you know that I'm lost without your love
And I just keep dreamin' of
The way that it used to be
So satisfied
Yeah honey but ever since you've been gone
Well I just can't along
Oh I can't get along without you, baby
Hoh, right by my side
You know you took, took my heart
Yeah, you took it and you tore it apart
Well I just couldn't keep ya
Even though I tried
Don't you know I tried
And I really really love you so
How much you'll never never know
And I can't get along without you, baby
Hoh, right by my side
You know that in your arms is where I long to be
Ahh, yessireee
And I hope someday I'm gonna find me a way
To bring you back home to me
And when you left me all alone
Oh, I sat right down and I cried
'Cause I can't get along without you, baby
Hoh, right by my side
Just gotta be right by my side
Oh yeah
[BRIDGE]
Well in your arms is where I long to be
Ah yessiree
And I hope someday I'm gonna find me a way
To bring you back home to me
Now when you left me all alone
Oh I sat right down and I cried
'Cause I can't get along without you, baby
Hoh, right by my side
Just gotta be right by my side
In the mornin', right by my side
In the evenin', right my side
In the between time, right my side
After breakfast, right my side
Higher than the mountains, taller than the trees
Bigger than the moon above, deeper than the seas
Oh, that's how I feel now my love is real
Yeah, I'm old enough to love
Stronger than the winds that blow, brighter than the sun
Greater than the stars that glow, you're my only one
Holding you, holding you close now at last I know
Yes, I'm old enough to love
Higher than the mountains, taller than the trees
Bigger than the moon above, deeper than the seas
Oh, that's how I feel now my love is real
Yes, I'm old enough to love
I could never be loved by anyone sweeter than you
And I could never belong to anyone sweeter than you
With you to stand beside me I'll never be alone
And what more could I long for than to have you for my own
My only desire is loving you eternally
For no, no other love could ever mean so much to me
So if you say you love me forever I'll be true
And what more could I long for than to live my life {with you}
I could never be loved by anyone sweeter than you
And I could never belong to anyone {sweeter than you}
Everybody's got somebody carin'
Everybody's got alove they're sharin'
Everybody, everybody but me
Everybody is gettin' ready
Everybody is goin' steady
Everybody, everybody but me
I stay home on Friday night, go to bed at eight
On Saturday nights I'm all alone
'Cause I don't have a date
Everybody's out romancin'
Havin' fun and goin' dancin'
Everybody, everybody but me
I stay home on Friday night, go to bed at eight
On Saturday nights I'm all alone
'Cause I don't have a date
Everybody's out romancin'
Havin' fun and goin' dancin'

Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train
Brought my baby back home
Train, train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
Train, train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
Well it took my baby
But it never will again
No, not again
Train, train, comin' down, down the line
Train, train, comin' down, down the line
Well it's bringin' my baby
'Cause she's mine all mine
Train, train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
Train, train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
Well it took my baby
But it never will again
Oh no, not again
Train, train, oh yeah
Well it took my baby
But it never will again
I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody new
You expect me to be true and keep on loving you
Though I am feeling blue, you think I can't forget you
Until someday, you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody new
Although you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't want you
I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody new
Although you don't want me now
Oh, I'll get along somehow
And then I won't want you
When I get to thinking about the past
And all of the good things that were too good to last
I cry in my heart for each little part
Of yesterday's love
A few tender moments when heaven was mine
The vows that you whispered
With each kiss was divine
How empty they seem, they're lost in a dream
With yesterday's love
Somewhere I lost you along the way
Lost without knowing the price that I'd pay
I can't help but wonder how things would have been
If I could start over and try it again
But love has its problems and bridges to burn
You have to cross over and you never return
For dreams have their day and then fade away
With yesterday's love
Yesterday's love
True love (your love)
True love (your love)
True love baby that's what you give me
True love (your love)
True love (your love)
True love baby that's what you give me

Another boy has made you change
When I'm around you're acting strange
You don't love me anymore and I can tell
I can tell
Maybe you can't bring yourself to tell me of him
After thinking about the love we used to share
When you're holing me I know, your're thinking of him
No you don't love me anymore and I can tell
Tell her you need her
Tell her you love her
Don't let another say
The words you should have said
Or you'll be
One boy to late to hold her tight
One boy to late to hold everynight
And kiss her in the moonlight
One boy to late for happiness
One boy who'll never hear her answer yes
And never know her sweet caress
Tell her you need her
Tell her you love her
Don't let another say
The words you should have said
Or you'll be
One boy to late and lonely too
One boy who didn't whisper I love you
So tell her now, tell her now
Tell her now
Before I do
So tell her now, tell her now
Tell her now
Before I do
Well you're so fine, got you on my mind
That's a real good sign, be my steady date
Well baby I sit with you, I don't know what to do
Would you dance, make romance, if I asked you to
Why don't you be mine, love me all the time
Baby don't say why, 'cause I'm a little bit shy
I think of you no matter where I'm at
School or at the drugstore where we met
The day I carved your name upon my desk
And told all the fellas that like you to
That you're the girl that I love best
Well I won't forget this night, the kiss that held me tight
I took my chance, made romance, everything turned out right
'Cause you're so fine, got you on my mind
That's a real good sign, don't hesitate, be my steady date
I think of you no matter where I'm at
School or at the drugstore where we met
The day I carved your name upon my desk
And told all the fellas that like you to
That you're the girl that I love best
Well I won't forget this night, the kiss that held me tight
I took my chance, made romance, everything turned out right
'Cause you're so fine, got you on my mind
That's a real good sign, don't hesitate, be my steady date

It's a young world
When you're in love, you're in a young world
So take my hand and let me show you
Just how true young love can be
And whoa-uh-oh
It's a young world
And if you'll tell me you're my one girl
You'll make my whole life worth livin'
Just by givin' your love to me
All of the world is a treasure
When you have someone to care
Promise me your love for-e-ver
We'll have the whole world to sh-a-are
And it's a young world
When you're in love, you' re in a young world
If you believe what I've told you
Let me hold you, say you love me
All of the world is a treasure
When you have someone to care
Promise me your love for-e-ver
We'll have the whole world to sh-a-are
And it's a young world
When you're in love, you' re in a young world
If you believe what I've told you
Let me hold you, say you love me
It's a young world, whoa-oh-oh

FADE
Playin' in a bar
We were tryin' to get up
They kept pullin' us down
Said we loved the sound
If you could just play somethin' we could dance to
Play us another one
Like the other ones
Like the ones on the radio
Don't go slow
Get on with the show
And I said
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance till you take a chance
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance
Listen to the song
You can move your feet
If you listen to your heartbeat
Close your eyes
Let your body go
Here comes another one
Like the other ones
Like the ones on the radio
Here we go
Get on with the show
And I said
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance till you take a chance
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance
Here comes another one
Like the other ones
Like the ones on the radio
Here we go
Get on with the show
And I said
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance till you take a chance
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance
And I said
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance till you take a chance
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance
If you can't dance
If you can't dance
If you can't dance
I spend a night in the chair
Thinking she'll be there but she never comes
And I wake up and wipe the smile from my eyes
And I rise
To face another day without her
It's just no good anymore
When you walk through the door of an empty room
And then you go inside and set a table for one
It's no fun
To spend another day without her
We burst a pretty baloon, took us to the moon
Such a beautiful thing, but it's ended now
And it sounds like a lie if I say I'd rather die
Then live wihout her
Love is a beautiful thing when it knows
How to swing and groove like a clock
But the hands on the clock tell the lovers to part
And it's breakin' my heart
To spend another day without her
Can't go on without her
It's all wrong without her
Can't go on without her
It's all wrong without her
Can't go on without her
It's all wrong without her
Have you ever wanted to steal a kiss
Have you ever wanted to try
But you let her get you scared to death
And got you so mad you could cry
Well I'm sorry for you
But I really don't know why
'Cause you'll never know what you're missin' til you try
'Til You try
Have you ever wanted to hold her tight
But you couldn't get up the nerve
So you waited untill she had to go
And got just what you deserved
Did she smile at you
And you never did no why
Well you'll never know what you're missin' til you try
'Til you try
You'll never know what you're missin' til you try
'Til you try
You'll never know what you're missin', that's no lie
That's no lie
So you'd better listen to what I say
If you want some kissin' tonight
Go ahead and hold her close to you
And kiss her with all of your might
You better give her the word
Before she leaves you high and dry
'Cause you'll never know what you're missin' til you try
'Til you try
Well you'll never know what you're missin' til you try
'Til you try
You'll never know what you're missin' and that's no lie
That's no lie
So you'd better listen to what I say
If you want some kissin' tonight
Go ahead and hold her close to you
And kiss her with all of your might
You better give her the word
Before she leaves you high and dry
Because you'll never know what you're missin' til you try
'Til you try
'Cause you'll never know what you're missin' til you try
'Til you try
When you walk through the rain together
Then you kiss and you know you're in love
When the moon and the stars get together
And they smile from the Heaven's above
You'll never, oh no you'll never
You'll never fall in love
When you stroll hand in hand in the moonlight
And you feel that your heart's beat as one
When you take her in your arms on a June night
And you kiss and you know she's the one
Then you'll never, oh no you'll never
You'll never fall in love again
You've been searching for a lifetime
And wishing on a star
For this one girl to call your own
You finally found that someone
And now you'll never roam
When you walk through the rain together
Then you kiss and you know you're in love
When the moon and the stars get together
And they smile from the Heaven's above
You'll never, oh no you'll never
You'll never fall in love again
You just tear me up when you smile at me
And then my head starts buzzin' like a honey bee
My eyes won't focus and I'm so upset
I sit here shakin' in a cold, cold sweat
You're makin' a fool out of me
That's pretty easy to see
You just tear me up everytime we kiss
I never thought that love could ever be like this
I guess you know that I'm in love with you
I wish you'd tell me that you love me too
You're foolin' around with my heart
Please don't you tear me apart
Everytime you kiss me
I tremble like a little ol' pup
When you put your arms around me
Baby, you tear me up
I just wanna know if you love me too
'Cause if you leave me now
I don't know what I'll do
I'm so in love that I can hardly speak
My head is spinnin' and I'm feelin' weak
So won't you consider my plea
Don't take advantage of me
Everytime you kiss me
I tremble like a little ol' pup
When you put your arms around me
Baby, you tear me up
I just wanna know if you love me too
'Cause if you leave me now
I don't know what I'll do
I'm so in love that I can hardly speak
My head is spinnin' and I'm feelin' weak
So won't you consider my plea
Don't take advantage of me
No don't take advantage of me
Don't take advantage of me
I've got a girl, she's a regular date
When she's good she's good & when she's bad she's great
Do you know what I mean?
(I know what you mean)
Do you know what I mean?
(I see what you mean)
If you had a girl like mine, you'd know what I mean
She looks cool in a sweater & cordeuroys
She loves them bent but she likes fickle boys
Do you know what I mean?
(I know what you mean)
Do you know what I mean?
(I see what you mean)
If you had a girl like mine, you'd know what I mean
[Bridge:]
She likes to be around me; she knows where I stand
I'm so glad she found me; she finds me every time she can, yeah
Every evenin' when we're doin' our thing
She stays home 'cause she likes it in
Do you know what I mean?
(I know what you mean)
Do you know what I mean?
(I see what you mean)
If you had a girl like mine, you'd know what I mean
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Every evenin' when we're doin' our thing
She stays home 'cause she likes it in
Do you know what I mean?
(I know what you mean)
Do you know what I mean?
(I see what you mean)
If you had a girl like mine, you'd know what I mean
If you had a girl like mine, you'd know what I mean
If you had a girl like mine, you'd know what I mean
(I know what you mean)
The news is out all over town
That you've been seen out runnin' around
I know that I should leave but then
I just can't go on, you win again
This heart of mine could never see
What everybody knows but me
Just trusting you was my great sin
What can I do, you win again
I'm sorry for your victim now
'Cause soon his head, like mine, will bow
He'll give his heart, but all in vain
Seen it written and I've heard it told
That a man does things for gold
Drives him crazy and it makes him old
Before his time
Sittin' 'round waitin' for the rainbow's end
Wastin' time and loosin' friends
Never knowin' that it ends before his eyes
But those of us who seek the truth
Will be there when she rides
Talkin' 'bout wings
To carry us over the water
Talkin' 'bout wings
Pickin' us up by the waves
Aw, so many things can breed misunderstandin'
We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings
Once met a man and his words were wise
And he looked me in the eyes
he said brother don't you compromise
What you feel
All things figure in a bigger plan
And it's up to veryman
Just to do the best to reach his own ideals
And build a world around himself
And live it like he feels
Talkin' 'bout wings
To carry us over the water
Talkin' 'bout wings
Pickin' us up by the waves
Aw, so many things can breed misunderstandin'
We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings
Talkin' 'bout wings
To carry us over the water
Talkin' 'bout wings
Pickin' us up by the waves
Aw, so many things can breed misunderstandin'
We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings
Talkin' 'bout wings
To carry us over the water
Talkin' 'bout wings
Pickin' us up by the waves
Aw, so many things can breed misunderstandin'
We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings
Well come on over baby, whole lotta shakin' goin' on
I said come on over baby, baby you can't go wrong
We ain't fakin', whole lotta shakin' goin' on
Well I said come on over baby, we got a chicken in the barn

Oh baby a whole lotta shakin' goin on
Go one time now
Shake it baby, shake, shake it baby shake
Ooh shake babe, come on babe, shake baby shake
Come on over, whole lotta shakin' goin' on
Like bright lightning
It happened from above
You sent me down somebody
Somebody to love
My life was stormy skies
Emptiness and pain
You sent your sunshine down
To drive away the rain
When the sun shined its face on me
It brought me happiness
When the sun shined its face on me
It brought me gladness
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Just like a summer sun
Chased away the nightime
It felt so lonely then
Now it's just the right time
And when you touched my hand
The sun began to shine
And when you smiled at me
I knew that love was mine
When the sun shined its face on me
It brought me happiness
When the sun shined its face on me
It brought me gladness
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
When the sun shined its face on me
It brought me happiness
When the sun shined its face on me
It brought me gladness
Oh yeah
When the sun shined its face on me
It brought me happiness
When the sun shined its face on me
It brought me gladness
When the sun shined its face on me
It brought me happiness
When the sun shined its face on me
It brought me gladness

How does one decide
If the tactics he's using can satisfy
Truly believin'
Tryin' over and over and over again
Livin in hopes that someday he'll be in with a winner
When should one change his mind
And jump the fence, for the dollar sign
It's a sad thing, it's a bad thing
It's so neccessary
This cold world wants your values to become monetary
Why, why, why, what is success
Is it doin' your own thing
Or should you join the rest
Or if you truly believe
Should you try over and over and over again
Livin in hopes that someday you'll be in with a winner
How does one decide
The tactics he's using can satisfy
It's a sad thing, it's a bad thing
It's so neccessary
This cold world forces values to become monetary
What comes next
Aw, do you break my heart
When do the teardrops start
Why do we have to part
What comes next
Will you be leavin' now
Will I start grievin' now
What comes next
Love is so new to me
So you better tell me
I can't seem to figure out what's goin' on
I thought you needed me from the way you held me
But now I know my thinkin' was all wrong
What comes next
Aw, do you break my heart
When do the teardrops start
Why do we have to part
What comes next
Will you be leavin' now
Will I start grievin' now
What comes next
First came the plans we made
And we really had some
But then you said they needed to be changed
That it was not your fault
But you found someone
And that love is something no one can explain
What comes next
Aw you just broke my heart
And now my teradrops start
Looks like we're gonna part
What comes next
I see you're leavin' now
It's true I'm grievin' now
What comes next
What comes next
What comes next
Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in
Miracles I guess
Still happen now and then
Step into my heart
Leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world
Built with you in mind
Knock and the door will open
Seek and you will find
Ask and you'll be given
The key to this world of mine
I'll be waiting here
With my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world
Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world
Well I'm walkin' down the line

My feet'l be a flyin'
To tell about my troubled mind

When she's better only time will tell
Well I'm walkin' down the line

To tell about my troubled mind
I been a-waitin' in school all day long
A-waitin' on the bell to ring so I can go home
Throw my books on the table, pick up the telephone
'Hello, baby, let's get somethin' goin''
Headin' down to the drugstore to get a soda pop
Throw a nickel in the jukebox, then we start to rock
My school gal baby, gonna tell ya some news
You sure look good in them baby-doll shoes
Well, it's a-one, two, a-pull off my shoes
Three, four, get out on the floor
Five, six, come get your kicks
Down on the corner of Lincoln and a-forty-six
[Spoken:] Yeah!
[Instrumental break]

You gotta move, start rockin' baby
A rockin', rockin' baby
Gonna rock all night, rock all night
Just wait 'n' see
[Spoken:] Yeah!!
Why does everybody sing the same old song to me
I've heard it before so wake me up when you're done
Voices of doom, intent on reformin' me
Relentlessly informin' me that I am a bum
Wait till next year, wait till next year
You've noticed, I guess, that my clothes are a mess
And by this time next year I should care even less
Thanks for the advice, you cut me up real quick
Everyone's so nice it makes me sick
Go ahead and find another dog to kick
Why do you do it, why don't you all leave me alone
If you don't approve of me, go home
You're world is restricted and I've been evicted
Condemned and convicted for being myself
They never stop whinin' if my shoes need shinin'
My manners need refinin' and they're anxious to help
Wait till next year, wait till next year
I've got an image to nurse, and a role to rehearse
And by this time next year I should be even worse
Take me to the night I'm tippin'
Topsy-turvy, upside-down
Hold me tight and tell me what you sish for
There is no one here around
You may sing song my sweet smiles
Regardless of the cities careless frown
Come watch the no-colours fade
Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn
In blissful wonderments enchantment
You can lift my wings softly to flight
Whirling, twirling, puppy-warm
Before the flashing cloaks of darkness gone
Come see the no-colours fade
Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn
A prince charming I'll be, on two white steeds
To give you dappled diamond crowns
And climb your towers sleeping beauty
'Fore you ever know I've left the ground
You can wear a Cinderella, Snow-White
Alice Wonderland gown
Come watch the no-colours fade
Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn
But if I seem to wander off in dream-like looks
Please let me settle slowly
It's only me just staring out at you
A seeming stranger speaking holy
I don't mean to wake you up
It's only loneliness just coming on
So let the colours fade
Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn
Like shadows bursting into mist
Behind echoes of this nonsense song
It's just a chasing, whispering trail of secret steps
Oh see them laughing on
There's magic in the sleepiness
Of waking to a childish sounding yawn
Come watch the no-colours fade
Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn
I've been travelin' over mountains
Even through the valley's too
I've been travelin' night and day
Runnin' all the way
Baby tryin' to get to you
Ever since I read your letters
Where you said you loved me true
I've been travelin' night and day
Runnin' all the way
Baby tryin' to get to you
When I read your lovin' letters
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us
But they didn't mean a thing
I just had to reach you baby
'Spite of all that I've been through
I kept travelin' night and day
Runnin' all the way
Baby tryin' to get to you
When I read your lovin' letters
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us
But they didn't mean a thing
I just had to reach you baby
'Spite of all that I've been through
I kept travelin' night and day
Runnin' all the way
Baby tryin' to get to you
I kept travelin' night and day
Runnin' all the way
Baby tryin' to get to you
Today's teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows and
Tomorrow's rainbows I will share, share with you
So dry your eyes little girl dry your eyes
And we're gonna see skies of blue
Had a tough time gettin' started
Maybe just a little down hearted
All you got to do is count to ten
Maybe you'd be smiling when
Today's teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows and
Tomorrow's rainbows I will share, share with you
So dry your eyes little girl dry your eyes
And we're gonna see skies of blue
Gonna be just love and gladness
Don't wanna hear nothing bout sadness
Come a little closer come to me
With each kiss you're gonna see
There you are lonely as can be
Still you keep resisting me
Won't you please try to see it my way
Just for once try to see it my way
I want the best for you.
Tell me how I can make you see that I understand
Let me lend a helping hand
Won't you please try to see it my way
Just for once try to see it my way
And I will see you through.
Don't you know the most important thing
that someone can be taught
Is that living is learning to share
It soon may be too late for us
So don't turn away from those who show they care.
Come on and take my hand, let me lead the way
I won't let you go astray
Won't you please try to see it my way
I'm so sure if you see it my way
It's gonna be so fine
So wonderful and fine
Now while there still is time
Try to see it my way.
[Alt:]
There you go, heading for a fall
- Must you be a know-it-all
Don't you know you can't go wrong if you do it my way
- Angie, please let me do it my way, I know what's right for me.
Can't you see that you'll soon be back on your lonely shelf
- Won't you let me be myself
Everything will turn out right if you do it my way
- Angie, please let me do it my way, That's how it has to be.
Don't you know it doesn't make you one iota less a man
To accept what a woman can give
- I know you've done a lot for me, But playin' it safe
That's not the way to live.
Come on and take my hand, let me see you through
- I know now what I must do
I'm afraid that you'll get hurt if you do it your way
-I'm so sure if I do it my way it's gonna be so fine
So wonderful and fine
Now while there still is time
Try to see it my way...
There you are lonely as can be

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow...
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made us mellow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
And follow...
Just you know why
Why you and I
Will by and by
Know true love ways
Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And we'll know why
Just you and I
Know true love ways
Throughout the days
Our true love ways
Will bring us joys to share
With those who really care
Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And we'll know why
Just you and I
Know true love ways
True love ways
I give to you and you give to me
True love, true love
And on and on it will always be
True love, true love
For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true
For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true
You know the reason you act the way you do
And so do I, and so do I babe
I've seen the little things
You've never shown me to
Why should I cry babe
Had you only heard me calling
From the rainbows nimbo of now
Where you never let me take you
Halfway to some strange power
You can tell the hour that comes
Bringing all that we can borrow
So close your eyes to the hands
Upon the clock
There is no time, no such thing as time babe
You sit so closely to the door
Counting on the knock
There are no signs babe
If you could only see the thousands
Of the days I'm standing in between
All because you hold my hand so tightly
As we both walk and we laugh
We talk all about tomorrow
We laughed about it, tomorrow
We talked about it, tomorrow
We laughed about it, tomorrow
We talked about it, tomorrow
This train I ride is movin'
It's rolling down the line, yeah, yeah
Can't you feel it
It's comin' in on time
I'm leaving Colorado
Riding on a cloud, now, now
Over mountain tops and feeling might proud
It's been a long time since I held you close to me
Singing songs and makin' love is where I wanna be, yeah
So long Carson City
I'll be back someday, yeah yeah,
This train I'm ridin' has got the right of way
I can hardly wait till I hold you close to me
Singing songs and makin' love is where I wanna be, yeah
This train I ride is movin'
It's rolling down the line, now, now
Can't you feel it
It's comin' in on time
You gave me so many things to remember you by
Like a heart full of emptiness like tears in my eyes
When my heartaches all have gone
It will be because you gave me so much leavin' alone
I've got everything I'll need to remember you
I've got all the things you gave me
And you gave me quite a few
Got a heart full of emptiness, got tears in my eyes
I got wall to wall sadness, I can walk on while I cry
You gave me so many things to remember you by
Like a heart full of emptiness like tears in my eyes
When my heartaches all have gone
It will be because you gave me so much leavin' alone
But I wish you hadn't give me this solitude
It's a gift that keeps on givin' after you've gone
Gone, gone, gone, when my heartaches all have gone
It will be because you gave me so much leavin' alone
If you're in the mood for something different and new
There's a pants suit we have on sale and it's just made for you
-Oh no, what will the neighbors say?
Don't worry lady, they're gonna love it
There's a miniskirt that hardly covers your thighs
If you just pull your tummy in I'm sure it's just your size
- Oh no, what will my husband say?
Don't worry lady, he's gonna love it
I know just what to do
And before I'm through
You'll be dressed right in fashion
- Do me a favor, don't do me favors please
I won't expose any part of you but your knees
It isn't very hard to become a Mod
All you need is passion
- I've got passion to get rid of you
We have furs for fun in orange, purple and red
There's a wig on a mannikin that should be on your head
- Oh no, not even if it's free
Don't worry lady
- Oh please, people will laugh at me
Don't worry lady, they're gonna love it
They're gonna love it
--- Instrumental ---
In the morning when I wake and see your picture
In the afternoon when I meet our old friends
When I sit and have myself a lonely supper
Right up untill the blue, blue night ends
There's not a minute that it doesn't hurt me
How could you desert me, break my heart this way
And even when I'm sleeping, you come into my dreams
There's not a minute that it doesn't hurt
There's not a minute that it doesn't hurt
When I see two lovers run to meet each other
When I think of all our dreams that won't come true
When I realize I'll never love another
So many things dear, remind me of you
There's not a minute that it doesn't hurt me
How could you desert me, break my heart this way
And even when I'm sleeping, you come into my dreams
There's not a minute that it doesn't hurt
There's not a minute that it doesn't hurt
I know you think I'm crazy, cryin' out lazy
Winning days are through
Am I mistaken, have you been taking
More than you can use
And by the way, the loser babe is you
I hear you think I'm used, overworked and abused
If what you say is true
Why'd ya do me, I thought ya knew me
I've never been your fool
And by the way, the loser babe is you
It's a losers game, playing to win
It's all over before you begin
It's another day when you clear it away
It's just a lonely rendevouz with an old friend
And by the way the loser babe is you
It's a losers game, playing to win
It's all over before you begin
It's another day when you clear it away
It's just a lonely rendevouz with an old friend
I never meant any harm, I don't want to alarm you
You broke the only rule
Am I mistaken, have you been taking
More than you can use
And by the way the loser babe is you
By the way the loser babe is you
By the way the loser babe is you
The saddest sounds are the words goodbye
The softest sounds are the tears I cry
You walked away, and then I found
A heart that breaks is the loneliest sound
The cruelest sound that I have known
Is the silence when I'm left alone
You broke my heart and turned me down
And now I've heard the loneliest sound
The words that you found someone new
Keep pounding and pounding in my brain
And your footsteps as you walk, you walk away
Keep adding, adding to my pain
The happiest sound I'll never hear
Are just three words, oh I love you my dear
So I guess I'll hang around
Hearing just the loneliest sound
Drives me crazy
Can't stand it anymore
Aw it's getting to me
Well, I got a gal her name is Shirley Lee
Yeah, I got a little woman her name is Shirley Lee
Well, Shirley Lee, you're the one for me
Well, Shirley Lee, you know Shirley Lee, yeah Shirley Lee
Well Shirley Lee, yeah Shirley Lee you're the one for me
Yeah!
Well, come to me baby, come to me baby now
Yeah, come to me baby, come to me baby now
Well, come to me baby, I'll love you somehow
Well, Shirley Lee, you know Shirley Lee, yeah Shirley Lee
Well Shirley Lee, yeah Shirley Lee you're the one for me
Yeah!
Well, I got a gal her name is Shirley Lee
Yeah, I got a little woman her name is Shirley Lee
Well, Shirley Lee, you're the one for me
Well, Shirley Lee, you know Shirley Lee, yeah Shirley Lee
Ooh, Shirley Lee, yeah Shirley Lee you're the one for me
This is my last time around
And I don't know where I'm bound
But I'm leavin' now, so don't look back at me
It's hard to pretend that you'd love me again
When there's nothing left inside for you to see
And I thank you for the love you've given me my friend
I don't know where I'm goin', but I won't see you again
Don't ask me how I know
But I've been here before
And the things that seem important, aren't you see
I know you don't believe in my philosophy
But I thank you for the love you've given me
So goodbye my love, I know you were my friend
I don't know where I'm goin', but I won't see you again
The love that you've given me, I thank you for my friend
I don't know where I'm goin', but I won't see you again
I know you don't believe in my philosophy
But I thank you for the love you've given me
This is my last time around
And I don't know where I'm bound
But I'm leavin' now, so don't look back at me
So goodbye my love, I know you were my friend
I don't know where I'm goin', but I won't see you again
See ya later, baby
Each time I hold you when I feel good, uh huh
You know I do, uh-huh
When I'm away from you
I feel like you want me to
Ya put your arms around me and I get

That same old feelin'
If I lose that feelin' guess I'll die
Each time you kiss me when I feel good, uh-huh
You know I do, uh-huh
Don't you ever leave me
If you do you'll grieve me
Gonna wrap you in my arms real tight
And get that feelin'

Gotta have that feelin'
If I lose that feelin' guess I'll die
Guess I'll die, guess I'll do
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Do you ever wonder where she is
Do you ever want to know
Did the lady's love stay with you
When you told her to go
Where did she go when you left her
And who is she thinking of
And do the lady's laughing eyes
Still look for love
Listen, the lady stayed with me this evening
The lady talked to me until dawn
The lady stayed with me and said
To tell you she's gone
Where did she run when you told her
And what did she have to say
And does the lady's love of life
Still get in your way
Well listen, the lady stayed with me this evening
The lady talked to me until dawn
The lady stayed with me and said
To tell you she's gone
Do you ever wonder where she is
Do you ever want to know
Did the lady's love stay with you
When you told her to go
Listen, the lady stayed with me this evening
The lady talked to me until dawn
The lady stayed with me and said
To tell you she's gone
The lady stayed with me this evening
The lady talked to me until dawn
The lady stayed with me and said
To tell you she's gone
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some
Mistletoe help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And ev'ry mother's
Child is gonna spy to see if
Reindeer really know how to fly
And so, I'm offering this
Simple phrase to kids from
One to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times
Many ways; 'Merry Christmas to you'
I just can't tell how much I love you
You know that I will tell you true
You're my baby, don't mean maybe
That's why I love you like I do
When you touch me, my hearts on fire
You kiss me and my lips are too
You're my baby, don't mean maybe
That's why I love you like I do
I never thought this would happen
Little girl, no not to me
But now you've set my heart tappin'
Everyone can plainly see
Now that we'll always be together
I'll never ever make you blue
You're my baby, don't mean maybe
That's why I love you like I do
I never thought this would happen
Little girl, no not to me
But now you've set my heart tappin'
Everyone can plainly see
When you touch me, my hearts on fire
You kiss me and my lips are too
You're my baby, don't mean maybe
That's why I love you like I do
You're my baby, don't mean maybe
That's why I love you like I do
You're my baby, I don't mean maybe
That's why I love you like I do
Well that's alright mama
That's alright with you
Any way you do, well that's alright
That's alright
That's alright now mama, any way you do
Well mama she done told me
Papa done told me too
Son, that girl you're foolin' with
She ain't no good for you
Well that's alright
That's alright
That's alright now mama, any way you do
I'm leavin' town my baby
Leavin' town for sure
Then you won't be bothered with me
Hangin' 'round your door
Well that's alright
That's alright
That's alright now mama, any way you do
Well that's alright now mama, any way you do
Hello mister mailman, thank you for the letter
It's from my baby far away
But wait mister mailman, this couldn't be my letter
Baby never writes this way
She didn't say I love you or I'm thinking of you
She didn't say sincerely or I miss you dearly
At the end was just goodbye my friend
Just a note
That's all she wrote
But look mister mailman, look at the writing,
There could be no mistake
I just didn't think the hand that wrote such sweet things
Would make my poor heart break
She didn't say I love you or I'm thinking of you
She didn't say sincerely or I miss you dearly
At the end was just goodbye my friend
Just a note
That's all she wrote
So please mister mailman, take away the letter
It's just a sad memory
You know mister mailman
The sooner I forget her
The better off I'll be
She didn't say I love you or I'm thinking of you
She didn't say sincerely or I miss you dearly
At the end was just goodbye my friend
Just a note
That's all she wrote
That's all she wrote
That's all she wrote
I can only give you love that lasts forever
And a promise to be near each time you call
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That's all, that's all
I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall
And a love who's burning light
Will warm the winter night
That's all, that's all
There are those I am sure who have told you
They would give you the world for a toy
All I have are these arms to enfold you
And a love even time can't destroy
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return dear
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small
Say it's me that you'll adore
For now and evermore
That's all, that's all
The April walk through fields and farms
And then I held you in my arms
But most of all, I still recall
That warm summer night
The autumn hayride, the frosty breeze
The fading colour of the trees
But through the fall, I still recall
That warm summer night
Through all my life, I can't forget
That moonlit picnic by the sea
We left the others far behind
And then you gave your love to me
The winter sleighride through falling snow
A kiss beneath the mistletoe
Through cold December, I still remember
That warm summer night
Through all my life, I can't forget
That moonlit picnic by the sea
We left the others far behind
And then you gave your love to me
The winter sleighride through falling snow
A kiss beneath the mistletoe
Through cold December, I still remember
That warm summer night
Thank you Lord for lovin' me
For givin' me the chance so I could see
The love that you feel inside for me
You're everything I want you to be
And I thank you, my Lord
Thank you Lord for bein' there
You take me through life and you always care
I think about the times I needed you
You were always there to see me through
And I thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, Lord
Thank you Lord you're my friend
You give me the strength to start over again
When life becomes hard, no ones seems to care
I reach out for you and you're always there
And I thank you my lord
Thank you Lord for lovin' me
For givin' me the chance so I could see
The love that you feel inside for me
You're everything I want you to be
And I thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
When I'm feelin down and out
And I wonder what life is all about
And when you feel like cryin out
And there's no one left to cry about
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord
I want to thank you, my Lord...
Some people call me a teenage idol
Some people say they envy me
I guess they got no way of knowing
How lonesome I can be
I need somebody to be my baby
Someone to tell my troubles to
I've got no time to ever find her
Cause I'm just passing through
I travel around from town to lonely town
I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone
If I find fortune and fame and lots of people know my name
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone
I get no rest when I'm feeling weary
I got to pack my bags and go
I got to be somewhere tomorrow
To smile and do my show
I travel around from town to lonely town
I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone
If I find fortune and fame and lots of people know my name
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone
Some people call me a teenage idol
Some people say they envy me
I guess they got no way of knowing
How lonesome I can be
How lonesome I can be
Thank you, thank you darling for everything you gave to me
Not just for the broken heart, but the precious memory
I remember darlin' everything we used to do
Walkin' together hand in hand, and the first time I kissed you
I said thank you, thank you darling for everything you gave to me
Not just for the broken heart, but the precious memory
I remember darling, the time I brought you home to late
We were so afraid, afraid it would be our very last date
I said thank you, thank you darling for everything you gave to me
Not just for the broken heart, but the precious memory
I said thank you, thank you darling
Thank you, thank you darling
They say men are such fools
And a woman must forgive them
I know I was wrong
Forgive me
Won't you give me one more chance
Take a broken heart
Make a broken heart smile again
I'm in love with you
Say you love me too
And take my arms
Take my lips
Take my tears away and love me
Come back to my arms
Believe me, if you leave me I will die
Take a broken heart
Make a broken heart smile again
I'm in love with you
Say you love me too, sweetheart
Come back to my arms
Believe me, if you leave me I will die
Take a broken heart
Make a broken heart smile again
I'm in love with you
I got a house on stilts and a five dollar bill
Sitting on the banks of a muddy, muddy bayou
That's a lot better than the streets of crowded cars
Pawnshops, friendly neighbourood bars
But your mom and your papa won't let me come a courtin'
Says I can't make a good livin' for the child
But the fish bite good and the crawfish are plenty
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride
I got a pain, can't run, and your papa's got a big dog
Snappin' at my heels, get away you mangey hound
But the lights still burnin' and the ladders by the window
I take a chance, gonna make another round
But your mom and your papa won't let me come a courtin'
Says I can't make a good livin' for the child
But the fish bite good and the crawfish are plenty

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh! Your Daddy's rich and your Ma is good lookin'
So, hush little baby, don't you cry...
One of these mornin's you're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky
But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standin' by...
But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standin' by...
Standing by...
Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feelin' that somethin' aint right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wonderin' why I get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Well I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wonderin' what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep the smile from my face
And I'm wanderin' all around the place
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Well you started out with nothin'
And you found out that you're somethin' man
And you're friends they all come callin'
Slap you on the back and say...
I'm tryin' to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
If I could I'd go to sleep on the floor
But I don't think I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feelin' that somethin' aint right
If I could I'd go to sleep on the floor
But I don't think I could take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
When I was a little bitty boy
Sittin' on my papa's knee
I still remember
Every word my papa said to me
Now boy if you ever meet
A pretty woman walkin' down the street
You'd better stop real still
Look both ways
Listen, or you'll get into trouble
When you see her go struttin' by
Givin' you that evil eye
If she's got a kind of dreamy look
Just enough to get you shook
Now boy, don't you lose your head
Pay attention (to) what your papa said
You'd better stop real still
Look both ways
Listen, or you'll get into trouble
She'll drive ya crazy with the way she walks
She'll drive ya crazy with the way she talks
And you'll think you're gonna lose your mind
because a pretty woman looks so fine
And the very first thing you know
You'll be tellin' her you love her, so
You'd better stop real still
Look both ways
Listen, or you'll get into trouble
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....
Well I hear that you've been sneakin' around on me
But honey that's not the way it's gonna be
Well I told you once, and I warned you twice
If you want my love you gotta be nice
And stop that crazy sneakin' around on me
Well let your conscience be your guide you know you're wrong
I'm not gonna take this messin' around to long
When you start cheatin' a love affair
It's not gonna get you anywhere
'Cause one of these days you'll up and find me gone
Well I know somethin' you better find out
Listen to what I've been talkin' about
When you started cheatin' on me
Foolin' around with TNT
Well I hear you've been sneakin' around the place
Somebody is tryin' to lead our love astray
Well I'll tell you somethin' you oughtta know
This messin' around's just gotta go
'Cause one of these days I'll up and walk away
Well I know somethin' you better find out
Listen to what I've been talkin' about
When you started cheatin' on me
Foolin' around with TNT
Well I hear you've been sneakin' around the place
Somebody is tryin' to lead our love astray
Well I'll tell you somethin' you oughtta know
This messin' around's just gotta go
'Cause one of these days I'll up and walk away
Well I hear that you've been sneakin' around on me
Well I hear that you've been sneakin' around on me
Well I hear that you've been sneakin' around on me
You can find the street I live on
Just take a walk on a sunny day
Pass a house where the window's shinin'
Listen well and you'll hear me say
Come on in
Stop by my window
Keep knockin' at my door
Stop by my window
And you'll here me say
It's a perfect day
So why don't you stay with me
You can find the love I'm feeling
It's for the girl who will walk my way
Here I am got a funny feeling
I can tell you'll be here today
And you will
Stop by my window
Keep knockin' at my door
Stop by my window
And you'll here me say
It's a perfect day
So why don't you stay with me
What a day for window shopping
You're the girl at my window stopping

And I can be found
If you'll just
Stop by my window
Keep knockin' at my door
Stop by my window
Keep knockin' at my door
Stop by my window
Keep knockin' at my door
We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama last night
I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama last night
I never planned in my imagination
A situation so heavenly
A wonderland where no one else could enter
And in the centre just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night
I never planned in my imagination
A situation so heavenly
A wonderland where no one else could enter
And in the centre just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night
You can buy you a house
And a big shiny car
You can go without
But you won't get to far
'Cause you need someone to see you through
Someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given
And love is somethin' you can't buy
You can wear your fancy clothes
An' all those diamond rings
You can go where you go
But it won't mean a thing
'Till you find someone to see you through
Someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given
And love is somethin' you can't buy
Your world is turnin'
It's turnin' upside down
Don't look behind you
'Cause there's no one around
You get everything you see
And you wonder why
What you got you don't need
And you can't be satisfied
'Till you find someone to see you through
Someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given
And love is somethin' you can't buy
Your world is turnin'
It's turnin' upside down
Don't look behind you
'Cause there's no one around
You get everything you see
And you wonder why
What you got you don't need
And you can't be satisfied
'Till you find someone to see you through
Someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given
And love is somethin' you can't buy
'Cos you get back what you've given
And love is somethin' you can't buy
You get back what you've given
And love is somethin' you can't buy
Just to tell you that she's sorry
But she loves me more than you
Did you do all the good things I said
Don't worry 'cause you do
She made promises to you
Promises of good things to come
But they never do
Will you try to make believe
It's not as easy as it seems
You forget about all the promises
But you can't stop your dreams
She made promises to you
Promises of good things to come
But they never do
Does it mean that much to you
Go through the changes that you do
I could be satisfied
But she's never try
Does it mean that much to you
Go through the changes that you do
I could be satisfied
But she's never try
Would you ask me what to do
My advice to you today
Is to tell her how you really feel
Or you'll have some dues to pay
She made promises to you
Promises of good things to come
But they never do
Let me tell you about Rosey, she was a friend of mine
She wore a Batman t-shirt, she always dressed so fine
One day she went walking. It was about midnight.
When the police inspector, he took her for a ride
She said
Everybody needs someone, somebody to love
Everybody needs someone, a little help from above
You can shine it on, we all belong, you can't go wrong
With someone to love
With someone to love
Everybody needs someone, somebody to love
Everybody needs someone, a little help from above
You can shine it on, we all belong, you can't go wrong
With someone to love
Let me tell about Sadie, a lady friend of mine
One late rainy Sunday the preacher man stopped by
He said Sadie, you're evil, take off that evil disguise
As she made her donation, the man began to cry
She said
Everybody needs someone, somebody to love
Everybody needs someone, a little help from above
You can shine it on, we all belong, you can't go wrong
With someone to love
With someone to love
How long before the train goes by
It never seems to get here
How long before the train goes by
Will I just sit here forever
How long
Time and time I've tried to speak
But no one seems to listen
And life's too short to carry on
So I guess I'll just sit here and listen
How long
Time goes so slowly when you want to go
And you can't find a reason to leave
I think you know what it's doing to me
And that's fine, if that's what you wanna see
How long before the train goes by
It never seems to get here
How long before the train goes by
Will I just sit here forever
How long
How long
The sandman told me he's done all he can
The situation needs a brand new plan
You've been cryin' all night long
Tossin' and turnin', it's almost dawn
So here I am, I'll help you if I can
Count on me, just take my hand
Close your eyes, leave the rest to me
And you'll have
Sweet dreams that'll last all night
An easy feeling in the mornin' light
Drift away with the touch of my hand
I'm your sleep tight, goodnight man
Soft an' soothin' like a lullaby
I'll kiss the tears from your weary eyes
In the mornin' you will understand
You've been touched by the goodnight man
I'll rock you gently like a rollin' wave
Hold you in my arms untill you drift away
Just lay back, and leave the rest to me
And you'll have
Sweet dreams that'll last all night
An easy feeling in the mornin' light
Drift away with the touch of my hand
I'm your sleep tight, goodnight man
I'll rock you gently like a rollin' wave
Hold you in my arms untill you drift away
Just lay back, and leave the rest to me
And you'll have
Sweet dreams that'll last all night
An easy feeling in the mornin' light
Drift away with the touch of my hand
I'm your sleep tight, goodnight man
Your sleep tight, goodnight man
I'm your sleep tight, goodnight man

I don't have plans and schemes
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
And I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
I don't have happiness and I guess
I never will ever again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
Mmm, since I don't have you
I'm gonna throw my raincoat in the river
Gonna toss my umbrella in the sea
The sun's gonna sine like never before
Ain't gonna rain, gonna rain no more
Now my baby's comin' back to me
Oh can't you see my raincoat in the river
Floatin' down, forever out of sight
For every drop of rain that fell on my face
I know we'll share another sweet embrace
Now she'll be back in my arms tonight
Now the rain's been drippin', drip drop a drippin'
every day you've been away
Now the rain is stoppin' no more drip drip droppin'
You're back to stay, that's why I say
I'm gonna throw my raincoat in the river
Gonna toss my umbrella in the sea
The sun's gonna sine like never before
Ain't gonna rain, gonna rain no more
Now my baby's comin' back to me
Now the rain's been drippin', drip drop a drippin'
every day you've been away
Now the rain is stoppin' no more drip drip droppin'
You're back to stay, that's why I say
I'm gonna throw my raincoat in the river
Gonna toss my umbrella in the sea
The sun's gonna sine like never before
Ain't gonna rain, gonna rain no more
Now my baby's comin' back to me woh, oh yeah
Now my baby's comin' back to me
Well I've been a little lazy, been a little crazy
On the road most of my life
Got me some stories, moments of glory
But it cost me the love of my life
Now I'm stuck in this small town, without a soul around
Who understands the things that I've done
It's to late for the game, so if it's all the same
Won't you send me somebody to love
Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love
Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love
I've been all 'round the world, and known so many girls
Had more than my share of good times
I'm quick with a whip, I just roll when I'm hit
Move on to friendlier clime's
And love when it leaves you, will burn you then freeze you
I shiver to think that she's gone
It's to late for the game, so if it's all the same
Won't you send me somebody to love
Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love
Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love
You can send in the clowns and all the girls in their gowns
They'd fill me for a night or two
When it gets this low and I'm scrapin' my soul
I need someone I can talk to
Oh so won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love
Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love
Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love
Oh won't you send me somebody, send me somebody
Send me somebody to love
Say you love me, say you do
And I'll spend my life loving you too
When today is just a memory
My heart will still belong to you
Say you love me too, say you do
You're my every dream come true
Let me share them all with you
I'll be yours my whole life through
Now and always, I love you
Say you love me, say you do
And I'll spend my life loving you too
When today is just a memory
My heart will still belong to you
Say you love me too, say you do
Say you love me too, say you do

Sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settles in the nest
It's time for a cowboy to dream
Purple light in the canyon
That is where I long to be
With my three good companions
Just my rifle, my pony and me
Gonna hang my sombrero
On the limb of a tree
Coming home sweet my darling
Just my rifle, my pony and me
Whippoorwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarillo
Just my rifle, my pony and me
No more cows to be ropin'
No more strays will I see
'round the bend shell be waitin
For my rifle, my pony and me
For my rifle, my pony and me
