Makin' It Easy
Raspberries
by David Smalley
Just got into town on a midnight plane
After this is over I'll be leavin' again
Somebody wants to put the pin on me
She's sayin' that it's mine but I know that can't be
Makin' it easy for me to be movin' on
Makin' it easy for me to be a long time gone
Met her at a job, was a Friday night
She was sittin' in the front row lookin' outasight!
Sang my song to her all about romance
Ooh, we got together and she took a chance
Makin' it easy for me to be movin' on
Makin' it easy for me to be a long time gone
Ya know I left that town, they're all the same
I was doin' all right til the letter came
She said, "I'm sorry, baby, but just the same,
I got to find somebody to take the blame, oh yeah."
I said, "What's this, babe? You know I got no time
To be worryin' 'bout a problem that I know ain't mine.
You've had too many lovers to know it's me
You better find somebody else, I wanna be free."
Makin' it easy for me to be movin' on
Makin' it easy for me to be a long time gone
Makin' it easy for me to be movin' on
Makin' it easy for me to be a long time gone
Makin' it easy, I got to be movin' on
Makin' it easy, makin' it easy
Get It Moving
Raspberries
by David Smalley
Baby, don't you know that I couldn't share you
So, if you're coming back we'll get things straight
I've been so lost since the day you left me
I never thought that I'd have to wait
Get it moving back my way
Oh, I couldn't live another day without your love
Get it moving, yeah
You said you didn't want a love that would tie you
You needed time and would I wait
It's been too long that I've got to tell you
I need it all, I can't be second rate
Get it moving back my way
Oh, I couldn't live another day without your love
Get it moving back my way
I need your loving more each day
Get it moving back my way
I won't be happy til I know you'll stay
You said you didn't want a love that would tie you
You needed time and would I wait
It's been too long that I've got to tell you
I need it all, I can't be second rate
Get it moving back my way
Oh, I couldn't live another day without your love
All Through the Night
Raspberries
by Eric Carmen & Michael McBride
Hey there, sugar, let me buy you a drink
Won't you tell me your last name
I won't recognize you tonight
'Cause you just won't look the same
Well I could live for an hour or two
Trying to find someone just like you
Why don't you sit right down
Hhave a double, and I'll get to know ya
All through the night
If you decide it'll be all right
Gonna make you sweat til the sheets are wet
Now don't say I didn't warn ya, no
All through the night
If you play your hand just right
You're gonna know my bed
Take my head
And hitchhike home in the morning
Oh yeah
You feel so soft and you taste so sweet
Like cold wine in mid-July
Well yeah, by this time when you're drunk at five
And the drinks sure got me high
Now that I've already had ya
I'm gettin' bored with the idle chat
'bout the place you live, what you do all day
Well honey, it doesn't matter, no
All through the night
If you decide it'll be all right
Gonna make you sweat til the sheets are wet
Now don't say I didn't warn ya
All through the night
If you play your hand just right
You're gonna know my bed
Take my head
And hitchhike home in the morning
Oh yeah
All through the night
If you decide it'll be all right
Gonna make you sweat til the sheets are wet
Now don't say I didn't warn ya, no
All through the night
If you play your hand just right
You're gonna know my bed
Take my head
And hitchhike home in the morning
Oh yeah
If we meet again, baby, who knows when
In some smoke-filled, sleazy bar
Don't be surprised, if between the flies
I can't tell which one you are
You all look just the same
And I never could remember names
So if you say hello, and I still don't know
Well, honey, that's such a shame
All through the night
If you decide it'll be all right
Gonna make you sweat til the sheets are wet
Now don't say I didn't warn ya
All through the night
If you play your hand just right
You're gonna know my bed
Take my head
And hitchhike home in the morning
You're gonna know my bed
Take my head
And hitchhike home in the morning
Money Down
Raspberries

Never laid my money down
Little woman think I got a heart of stone
'Cause I just wanna love 'em and leave 'em alone
Money down!
Lotta funky women been tryin' to scare me
Tell me that they'll leave me if I ain't true

Ya know that when they leave it ain't me that's blue
Little woman can't ya see I'm bound to roam
And I got no fears about livin' alone

I Can Hardly Believe You're Mine
Raspberries
by Scott McCarl & Eric Carmen
Darlin', I was feelin' something missing in my life
Never sharing, never caring to try
Then you touched me and you made me feel
So different, so alive
I was nowhere til you opened my eyes
Oh baby, I can hardly believe you're mine, yeah
Baby, I can hardly believe you're mine
Ooh, Darlin', when you're lyin' here beneath me
All I know is I love you more than I'll ever show
But you greet me without words it seems
And still, the feeling grows
I was nowhere til your love touched my soul
Oh baby, I can hardly believe you're mine, yeah
Baby, I can hardly believe you're mine
Loved you so long, girl
How my heart would beat for you
So much, it felt nice
Now I've found you
You're surrounding my heart
With sweet, sweet everlasting love
Yes, you greet me without words it seems
And still, the feeling grows
I was nowhere til your love touched my soul
Baby, I can hardly believe you're mine
Baby, I can hardly believe you're mine
Well I can hardly believe
Baby, I can hardly believe you're mine
Can't believe that you're mine
Baby, I can hardly believe you're mine
Cry
Raspberries
Cry if you feel lonely
And you know you can't make the grade
Now that you realize you should have stayed
And if you feel the way I do
I want you to cry your eyes out
I'm cryin' too
Never thought I'd ever see the day
I'd be happy to set you free
But you made a foo-ool out of me
Now you're crying "baby take me back"
But I never wanted you to leave
But you made a foo-ool out of me
You made a foo-ool out of me
With you in my life all I want to do is love
With you in my life you are all I'm thinking of
I hope you know I've never felt this way
And as long as you're true to me in my life you'll stay
I'll give you happiness; a little boy, a little girl
Another boy, another girl, and love
With you in my life all I want to do is love
With you in my life you are all I'm thinking of
I hope you know I've never felt this way
Once I could find my way
But that was yesterday
Believe me, it's not easy
I am waiting
Another day goes by
You ask me why I cry
Believe me, it's not easy
I've been waiting all my life
I said "I've been waiting all my life
For love to show her face"
When will I know, how will I know
Where to take my place?
When love was in her eyes
I had to pass it by
Believe me, it's not easy
I'd been waiting all my life
She said "I've been waiting all my life
For love to show his face"
When will I know, how will I know
Where to take my place?
Once I could find my way
But that was yesterday
Believe me, it's not easy
When we started it was a lot of fun
And the times we had I'll never forget
But now I'm older and wiser and a bit of a miser
And it's crazy but I don't want to quit
Ain't it a shame, the party's over
Yeah, we couldn't keep foolin' around
Ain't it a shame, the party's over
Yeah, we got to keep our feet on the ground
Broken-hearted, it ain't a lot of fun
Though I have to I can never forget
And so I'm older and brighter and a bad criticizer
And I'm crazy but I don't give a shit
Ain't it a shame, the party's over
Yeah, we couldn't keep foolin' around
Ain't it a shame, the party's over
Yeah, we got to keep our feet on the ground
My old lady don't see a lot of love
But my guitar, I give it all it can get
So if the moment ain't rowdy, I'll party all night
And call me crazy, but I ain't gonna quit
Won't you let me get to know you?
Given the time I could show you
How good it feels to be in love
Nice to have someone thinking of you
If I had the chance with you
I'd ask for the last dance with you
We'd dance away into the night
Know that you shouldn't be sharing
All of those nights with your mother
Staring at you staring at her
Thinking of places you wish you were
If I had the chance with you
I'd ask for the last dance with you
We'd dance away into the night
Couldn't you give me a chance for a while?
Given the time I know I could make you smile
And once you let me get to know you
And give me the time and I show you
How good it feels to be in love
At night you'll have someone thinking of you
If I had the chance with you
I'd ask for the last dance with you
We'd dance away into the night
When I get my chance with you
I'll make enough romance for two
I can't sleep nights
Wishing you were here beside me
Can't help feeling
That's the way it ought to be
You know we could run (run, run) away
But I couldn't bear
To hear the things they'd say, oh no
Baby, let's pretend that tonight could live forever
If we close our eyes and believe it might come true
Baby, let's pretend we could always [1,4: be 2,3: live]
together
But for now just let me spend the night with you
Somehow, someday
Things are gonna be so different
Don't cry, someway
I promise it'll be allright
So now that we're all alone
I couldn't bear
To leave to take you home, oh no
So take me now
My love can't wait
We're almost there now, darlin', darlin'
Hold me (hold me), hold me (hold me)
Can't you see it's not easy?
Can't you see it's not fair?
Can't you see that I'm cryin'?
Can't you see that I care?
You got my love if you want it
Just let me know and it's there
Don't you know that it's hard to get over a heartbreak
It's not easy to do
Hard to get over a heartbreak
That's why I'm counting on you
Can't you see I've been lonely?
Can't you see I've been down?
Can't you see I tried ev'rything?
There's just no love to be found
You got my heart if you want it
But please don't fool around
Don't you know that it's hard to get over a heartbreak
It's not so easy to do
Hard to get over a heartbreak
I need your love to pull through
I didn't know it would end this way
How could you do it to me?
It didn't hurt you to say goodbye
But oh, it's killing me!
Can't you see it's not easy?
Can't you see it's not fair?
Can't you see that I'm cryin'?
Can't you see that I care?
You got my love If you want it
Just let me know and it's there
Don't you know that it's hard to get over a heartbreak
It's not easy to do
Hard to get over a heartbreak
come on!
When I think of all your lovin' it makes me shiver
'Cause when I get home
Just wait 'til I get you alone
Ecstasy
When you touch me I'm in ecstasy
No one else could do the things you do
Let me please you too
Tonight
Ecstasy
When you kiss me I'm in ecstasy
No one else could make me feel this way
Tell me that you'll stay
Tonight
When you wrap your love around me and move so gently,
yeah
I feel it begin
Don't stop, I can feel my head spinning
Baby, baby, I just wanna make you
Feel the way I do
You got my backbone shakin'
And my poor heart's breakin' in two
Stay tonight
Well it's all been said, it's over now, I guess that I should leave
'Cause there's nothin' left for me to do except to set you free
So let me leave now before I cry, I'll just go back to my room and hide
And never let no one else inside to do this again
But if you change your mind, won't you take some time
And let me know that you still want me too
'Cause I'll wait night and day until you say
That you have changed your mind, won't you change your mind
If you should change your mind, oh yeah
Well I tried so hard to be the one that you were dreaming of
But I guess it wasn't quite enough to make you fall in love
So walk away, leave me by myself and let me crawl back into my shell
And be the me that I do so well before I met you
But if you change your mind won't you take some time
And let me know that you still want me too
'Cause I'll wait night and day until you say
That you have changed your mind, won't you change your mind
If you should change your mind, oh yeah
I'll be waitin' at home, just call me up on the phone
And I'll be by your side, there's no reason to hide
If you need me just call, don't you worry at all
But if this is the end and I can't see you again
I just can't carry on, it's so hard when you're gone
It's so hard when you're gone, oh oh, oh oh, oh no, oh
Baby don't leave, oh baby, baby don't go, oh baby don't go
But if you change your mind, won't you take some time
And let me know that you still want me too
'Cause I'll wait night and day until you say
That you have changed your mind, won't you change your mind
If you should change your mind, oh yeah
But if you change your mind, won't you take some time
And let me know that you still want me too
'Cause I'll wait night and day until you say
That you have changed your mind, won't you change your mind
If you should change your mind, oh yeah
But if you change your mind, won't you take some time
And let me know that you still want me too
'Cause I'll wait night and day until you say
That you have changed your mind, won't you change your mind
Back beat boogie got a hold on me

Twisting like a top
I never want to stop tonight
You surely look like a magazine

'Cause when that rhythm and blues electrifies my shoes
I get the message like it came by cable, hey

I gotta jump and get up on the table
'Cause when that rhythm and blues electrifies my shoes
I get the message like it came by cable
Back beat boogie got a hold on me

So come on, hold me tight
One, two, three, four
When you smiled at me
And I saw your eyes
All I ever wanted to be
Was in your arms tonight
You looked too young to know about romance
Oh, yes you did
But when you smiled, I had to take a chance
I had to take a chance and be with you
Tonight
I'll be with you tonight
Tonight
You'll love me too tonight
Woh baby, tonight
I'm making love to you
Woh, tonight
Bop-om-doo-doh-woh-mop-shoo
Woh, tonight
You're gonna love me too
tonight
Woh, tonight
I don't know myself
If it's wrong or right
All I know is what I can feel
So be my love tonight
You looked too young to know about romance
Oh, you know what I mean
But when you smiled, I had to take a chance
I had to take a chance and be with you
Woh, tonight
Won't you let me sleep with you, baby
Woh, tonight
I just wanna make you feel good inside, baby
Woh, tonight
Let me feel the love that's in you
Woh, tonight
Come on, come on, come on, come on
and let me
Come on, baby
Used to feel so fucking optimistic till she said goodbye
Never thought a love like ours could die
Told myself, I'd never love another all I want is friends
But when we met, I felt it all again
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had a chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
Every evening, I would watch the sunset end another day
Let the night time wash my blues away
Buried my romantic inclination deep inside of me
Till I fell for you immoderately
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had a chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
I remember all the good times
And the bad times spent together
Why remember all the old times
When the new times look much better, much better?
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had a chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
And if I had a chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
Raspberries - Should I Wait
Don't you know you're gonna lose
If you love somebody that don't love you?
You'll believe him when he's untrue
But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two
I've let it happen much too long
Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own?
It's me who's loved you for so long
If he hurts you with his lies
Don't let it take too long to open your eyes
You're gonna see through his disguise
But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two
I'm tired of tryin' to play it cool
Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own?
The one you love is just a fool
If I had the chance I'd make you see
When you fall in love how it should be
A love that makes you sad can only turn out bad
So I'll be hangin' 'round until you're free
Don't you know you're gonna lose
If you love somebody that don't love you?
You'll believe him when he's untrue
But I can't bear seein' him break your heart in two
I've let it happen much too long
Should I wait, hopin' you'll find out on your own?
Well I know it sounds funny
But I'm not in it for the money, no
I don't need no reputation
And I'm not in it for the show
I just want a hit record, yeah
Wanna hear it on the radio
Want a big hit record, yeah
One that everybody's got to know
Well if the program director don't pull it
It's time to get back the bullet
So bring the group down to the station
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
I've been tryin' to write the lyric
Non-offensive but satiric too
And if you put it in the A-slot
It's just got to make a mint for you
I fit those words to a good melody
Amazing how success has been ignoring me
So long
I use my bread making demos all day
Writing in the night while in my head I hear
The record play
Hear it play
Hit record, yeah
Wanna hit record, yeah
It`s time to leave, this party`s boring
I`d rather be alone with you
I found a place where we can go
Just the two of us will know
`Cause there`s some things I`d like to do
Ooo, I want to
Woo you all night on the beach
`Cause we got all summer to learn how to love
On the beach
They don`t expect us `til tomorrow
I`ll have us back again by two
We`ll take the car and slip away
There`ll be no one there to say
Just what we should and shouldn`t do
Ooo, I want to
Oh, I want to
Woo you all night on the beach
`Cause we got all summer to learn how to love
On the beach (on the beach)
I`ve waited so long to be there
We`ll take the highway, just outside the city
`Cause the night`s young and you`re so pretty, yeah
Ooo, I wanna... ooo, I wanna... oh, I wanna
Woo you all night on the beach
`Cause we got all summer to learn how to love
If we were older
We wouldn't have to be worried tonight
Baby oh, I wanna be with you
So bad, (yes, I wanna be with you)
Oh, baby (oh, I wanna be with you)
Oh yeah (yeah, I wanna be with you)
Well tonight's (tonight) the night
We always knew it would feel so right
So come on baby, I just wanna be with you
Someday's a long time
And we've been waiting so long to be here
Baby oh, I wanna be with you
So bad, (yes, I wanna be with you)
Oh, baby (oh, I wanna be with you)
Oh yeah (yeah, I wanna be with you)
Well tonight's (tonight) the night
We always knew it would feel so right
So come on baby, I just wanna be with you
Hold me tight
Our love could live forever after tonight
If you believe that what we're doing is right
Close your eyes and be still
Baby oh, I wanna be with you
So bad, (yes, I wanna be with you)
Oh, baby (oh, I wanna be with you)
Oh yeah (yeah, I wanna be with you)
Well tonight's (tonight) the night
We always knew it would feel so right
So come on baby, I just wanna be with you
I can't begin to count the times
I have been by myself
I lie awake my lonely room
Tells me there's no one else, no one else
I reach for the light it shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light it shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been
I tell myself I'm better off
No one can have me now
I see your crumpled photograph
It makes me laugh out loud, laugh out loud
I reach for the light it shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light it shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been
And I wish I could forget
How good you look, tonight
When you smiled at me
And walked away with him, oh, oh no
I reach for the light it shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light it shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been
I reach for the light, now
(I reach for the light)
I tell myself I'm better off
No one can hurt me now
(I reach for the light)
I see your crumpled photograph
It makes me laugh out loud
(I reach for the light)
I lay wake my lonely room
Tells me there's no one there
(I reach for the light)
I just can't stay [Incomprehensible]
My old man says success is the measure
Maybe so but I don't need the pressure
Not right now 'cause I got enough
Teachers tell me I don't lack the brains
Ask if I'm under some kind of strain
Well, that's too much and I really can't take it
They all say that I'm not getting younger
And I better make up my mind
Man, you'd think I was committin' some kinda crime
'Cause I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
But I want it now
When I talk they just don't wanna listen
Then they push me to make some decision
I can't wait and they wonder why
Everyone says I've got no direction
They want me sent to a house of correction
That's too much when I really can't take it
When I try to relieve my frustration
Seems like nothing I can do is right
My mind is aching and I'm sick of being so uptight
'Cause I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
But I want it now
All my life they complained that I'm just a dreamer
But I can't make a move when they wound my pride
When they say it must stop
[Incomprehensible] pull me
I don't know what to do
[Incomprehensible] a cell door
Some one give me a clue
'Cause I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
But I want it now, I want it now
Oh, give it to me
I can remember Summer skies and your eyes
And in September, when I first realized
That I needed you to be
The other half of me
And my love long locked inside itself
Had finally been set free
I can remember Autumm skies and goodbyes
Hurting so badly that I thought I would die
But the more things seem to change
The more they stay the same
And the lonely ones get lonelier
With every passing day
From the day we met I knew that I should
Never let you
Get a hold on me 'cause noe you see I
Can't forget you
Oh I, I can remember midsummer skies
Love in your eyes
In the Spring, the sun will shine and make the
Ice surrender
But it will not warm my heart as long as
I remember
And I, I will remember midsummer skies
Love in your eyes
And I, I will remember the times I've cried
Since you say goodbye
I nearly died when you said,
"I, I can't let you down anymore
So I guess this goodbye"
What, what did you do it for?
Everytime I think of you and him together
I break down and cry
Oh I, I can remember the tears I've cried
Since you say goodbye
I can remember
OH I, I can remember midsummer skies
Love in your eyes
And I, I can remember the times I've cried
I never knew how complete love could be
Till she kissed me and said
Baby, please, go all the way
It feels so right
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go
I couldn't say what I wanted to say
Till she whispered, I love you
So, please, go all the way
It feels so right
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go
[Instrumental Interlude]
Before her love
I was cruel and mean
I had a hole in the place
Where my heart should have been
But now I've changed
And it feels so strange
I come alive when she does
All those things to me
And she says
(Come on), come on
(Come on)
(Come on), come on
(Come on)
I need you (come on)
I love you (come on)
I need you (come on)
(Come on)
Please, go all the way
It feels so right
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close
Long hot days
We'll be catchin' the rays
(Oh baby) Long hot days
We'll be catchin' the rays
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast
When school lets out
And the summer's here
We'll have some time for the sun
Throw my notebooks out
And put my car in gear
'Cause we'll be havin' some fun
Drivin' around
(Long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(Long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast,
With my girl by my side
We can go for a ride
To find a place we can dance
And when it gets real dark
We can stop in the park
And have a backseat romance
Drivin' around
(Long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(Long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast,
I'm drivin' around, yeah
I'll be waitin' all through the year
Just to get you alone with nobody near
Baby don't be late
'Cause I just can't wait
All I wanna do is make love to you
With my girl by my side
We can go for a ride
To find a place we can dance
And when it gets real dark
We can stop in the park
And have a backseat romance, yeah
Drivin' around
(Long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(Long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast,
I'm drivin' around, oh yeah
Drivin' around
(Long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
Don't want to drive your love away from me
Don't want to waste your time
You're here and there and far away from me
I'm so alone, it's just a crime
If you could lie here by my side at night
If you could chase away my blues
You'd understand just how it feels at night
To have to stand inside my shoes
Don't want to say goodbye
Don't want to let you see me cry
Still, I don't want you to live a lie
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
And maybe you'll love me
Don't want to drive your love away from me
Don't want to waste your time
You're here and there and far away from me
I'm so alone, it's just a crime
Don't want to say goodbye
Don't want to let you see me cry
Still, I don't want you to live a lie
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
And maybe you'll love me
Maybe you'll love me
Maybe you'll love me
Get up in the morning, check out the weather
If it looks like sun, I get my things together
Throw some cutoffs on
Got my tank-top and tennises now and head for the beach
Well, I'm drivin' down the highway
Losin' all my patience, pushin' all the buttons
Tryin' to find a station with a screamin' jock
Turnin' out my daily ration of
(Cruisin' music, sure good music)
To put the fun back in summertime
I need some cruisin' music to make everything alright
Well, I'm flyin' down the freeway
Floatin' like a feather
I've got my windows rolled down
In the hot summer weather
With my radio up loud
Nothing makes me feel better
Than some good rock 'n' roll
(Good good, good rock and roll)
Those suntanned girls are lookin' outta sight
A beach-drenched chick would never get uptight
'Cause when the sun goes down
We'll be dancin' through the night and singin'
(Cruisin' music, sure good music)
To put the pop back in summertime
I need some cruisin' music to make everythin' alright
It's time you heard some happy music
God knows this world could really use a little sunshine
So won't you make mine
(Yeah)
You know I need some more of that
(Cruisin' music, sure good music)
To put the fun back in summertime
I need some cruisin' music to make everything alright
(Cruisin' music, sure good music)
To put the fun back in summertime
It Seemed So Easy
Raspberries
by David Smalley & Eric Carmen
Remember our love, babe
Remember the good days
The days when we both
Thought it would stay
Just thinkin' about you
So warm there beside me
I'd look in your eyes
And then you'd say
Words of love to me
Of how it would always be
And how the cloudy days
Had all gone by
But now I'm wonderin', babe
If it was all a lie
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
I'm trying to see, baby
How it's gonna be
It's useless I know
Each day goes so slow
But I'll always try, babe
Can't accept your goodbye
I'll remember your voice
So soft as you'd sigh
Worlds of love to me
Of how it would always be
And how the cloudy days
Had all gone by
But now I'm wonderin', babe
If it was all a lie
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
If I could stop
Tell my heart not to love you
I'd have no reason to go on
I'm trying to see, babe
How it's gonna be
It's useless I know
Each day goes so slow
But I'll always try, babe
Can't accept your goodbye
I'll remember your voice
So soft as you'd sigh
Words of love to me
Of how it would always be
And how the cloudy days
Had all gone by
But now I'm wonderin', babe
If it was all a lie
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
Because it seemed so easy
When I see the way she looks at him
Hurts so bad, you know it's such a sin
To see her love him while I just walk on by
(Nobody knows) what it does to me
(Nobody knows) no one could ever see
Nobody knows what it does to me
Now those tender looks upon her face
Are meant for someone else who's in my place
And he's her lover the way I used to be
I can see her dancing with someone else
Holding him so close while I'm by myself
I just want to hit him but that won't do
All I know is I've got to find some way
I can get to you
When I see the way she holds his hand
It burns inside me, I can't understand
How could she love him the way she once loved me
Might As Well
Raspberries
by Wally Bryson
Might as well give in, have to say it's true
Can't believe it's happened to me
But ooh, I'm glad it's you
I guess you were the one from the start
And try as I may, I can't say that we'll part
So I might as well, give in and say I love you
All the times before, all the love we'd make
I was so afraid of emotions, I could only take
You were there from the start
And try as I may, I can't say that we'll part
So I might as well, give in and say I love you
Ooh, ooh...
All of my other loves made me so sad
Don't want to find out that lovin' you,
Needin' you makes me feel bad
Might as well give in, have to say it's true
Can't believe it's happened to me
But ooh, I'm glad it's you
I guess you were the one from the start
And try as I may, I can't say that we'll part
So I might as well give in and say I love you
Goin' nowhere tonight mama,
I'm gonna be stayin' home
You walked out a week ago,
And I'm here sittin' by my telephone
Hopin' you might change your mind
Feelin' sorry I was so unkind
Goin' nowhere tonight mama,
Can't take it no more
I called your number and your daddy said,
You've just gone out the door
How could you throw it all away?
I'd never thought I'd see the day when I'd be...
Goin' nowhere tonight mama,
I'm gonna be stayin' home
You walked out a week ago,
And I'm here sittin' by my telephone
Hopin' you might change your mind
Feelin' sorry I was so unkind
Goin' nowhere tonight mama
Goin' nowhere tonight mama
