It's not my fault - if you're not falling in love with me
it's not my fault - if a future love you can't see
I should have known I could never win your hand
I know I can't hold your heart with just a wedding band
I'm just a fool in your broken chain of hearts
each one is falling now and I can't hold the parts
I guess you're one of those fond to be free
Have you ever been lonely?
Have you ever been blue?
Have you ever loved someone
Just as I love you?
Can't you see I'm sorry
For each mistake I've made?
Can't you see I've changed dear?
Can't you see I've paid?
Be a little forgiving
Take me back to your heart
How can I go on living
While we're apart?
If you knew what I've been through
Then you'd know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely?
Have you ever been blue?
I've got a soft place in my heart for you
and the dreams it's caused no one will ever know
I guess you know dear - my love has always been true
now there's nothing left to say or do but go
These bitter tears I've shed for you - are all in vain
but if you decide you want me back again
Just come back dear and I'll no longer be so blue
Tell me how to keep your love
You know how I need your love
Tell me how you keep the love
Within your heart from me
Don't you know that I love you?
Let me show why I'm true blue
When I know our love is true
Don't keep your love from me
If you would say to me today
The time for love is now
Could I sway your love my way?
Then I say tell me how
Tell me how to keep your love
You know how I need your love
Tell me how you keep the love
Within your heart from me
If you would say to me today
The time for love is now
Could I sway your love my way?
Then I say tell me how
Tell me how to keep your love
You know how I need your love
Tell me how you keep the love
Within your heart from me
Tell me how you keep the love
Do you think of me darlin'
while we're many miles apart
oh please be true to me my darlin'
for you are the flower of my heart
Many nights I've sat alone
and I've worried over you
but I'll never worry dear
if your love is true
Please come back to me my darlin'
cause I can't live while we're apart
Please come back to me my darlin'
for you are the flower of my heart
Many nights I've sat alone
and I've worried over you
but I'll never worry dear
if your love is true
Please come back to me my darlin'
for I can't live while we're apart
come back - come back to me my darlin'
Hold me close and tell me how you feel
Tell me love is real
Words of love you, whisper soft and true
Darling, I love you
Let me hear you say the words I want to hear
Darling, when you're near
Words of love you, whisper soft and true
Take your time, I can wait
For all the love
I know will be mine
If you take your time
Take your time, though it's late
Heart strings will sing
Like a string of twine
If you take your time
Take your time, and take mine too
I have time to spend
Take your time, go with me through
Times 'til all times end
Take your time, I can wait
For all the love
I know will be mine
If you take your time
Take your time and take mine too
I have time to spend
Take your time, go with me through
Times 'til all times end
Take your time, I can wait
For all the love
I know will be mine
If you take your time
I want you to me take me where I belong
where hearts have been broken - with a kiss and a song
spend the rest of my days dear - without any cares
everyone understands me - in the valley of tears
Soft words have been spoken - so sweet and low
but my mind is made up and I must go
spend the rest of my days dear - without any cares
Well, I ain't nothin' but a man in love
I ain't nothin' but a man in love
the girls they say I'm their only one
they even say I'm a modern Don Juan
Well, there ain't but a-one thing puzzlin' me
I got a girl and she can't see
I want only to make her mine
well, she thinks I'm just handing her a line
Oh, I love her so
I'll never - ever let her go
Well, you say you're mine
But baby you don't show it
You'd better fly right 'cause before you know it
I'm gonna set my foot right down on you
Gonna stop your struttin' baby 'til you say you're through
I'm gonna turn you around
And put you upside down
If that don't stop your runnin' around
I'm gonna set my foot right down on you
Gonna stop your struttin' baby 'til you say you're through
Ah well, you tell me this
And you tell me that
How come your dog bites me instead of that other cat
I'm gonna set my foot right down on you
Gonna stop your struttin' baby 'til you say you're through
I'm gonna turn you around
And put you upside down
If that don't stop your slippin' around
I'm gonna set my foot right down on you
What to do now that she doesn't want me
That's what haunts me, what to do?
What to do to keep from feeling lonely
Want her only, what to do?
The record hops and all the happy times we had
The soda shop, the walks to school now make me sad, oh
What to do I know my heartache showin'
Still not knowin', what to do?
The record hops and all the happy times we had
The soda shop, the walks to school now make me sad, oh
What to do I know my heartache showin'
There comes a time for everybody
When true love will come your way
There comes a time for everybody
That's what they tell me, that's what they say
I didn't hear them say a word
Of when that time will be
I only know that what they say
Has not come true for me
You just keep waiting
And love will come your way
That's what they tell me, that's what they say
There comes a time for everybody
When true love will come your way
There comes a time for everybody
That's what they tell me, that's what they say
I didn't hear them say a word
Of when that time will be
I only know that what they say
Has not come true for me
You just keep waiting
And love will come your way
That's what they tell me, that's what they say
Stayin' at home, waitin' for you
Just won't get it 'cause you say we're through
Well, I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well, if you're not here but baby, I don't care
'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love
Playin' the field, all day long
Since I found out, I was wrong
Well, I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well, if you're not here but baby, I don't care
'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love
Caught myself, thinkin' of you
You can't love me and another one too
Well, I'm lookin' for someone to love
Yeah, I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well, if you're not here but baby, I don't care
'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love
Drunk man, street car
Foot slip, there you are
Well, I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well, if you're not here but baby, I don't care
'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well, if you see old Annie, better give her a lift
'Cause Annie? s been a workin' on a midnight shift
If Annie puts her hair up on her head
Paints them lips up bright, bright red
Wears that dress that fits real tight
Starts stayin? out 'til the middle of the night
Says that a friend gave her a lift
Well, Annie? s been a workin? on a midnight shift
If she acts a little funny, seems a little strange
Starts spendin? your money for brand new things
Tells you that she wants to use the car
Never explains what she wants it for
Brother, there just ain? t no 'Ifs'
'Cause Annie? s been a workin? on a midnight shift
Well, early in the morning when the sun comes up
You look at old Annie and she looks kinda rough
You tell her,? Honey, get on out of that bed?
She says,? Leave me alone, I? m just about dead?
Brother, there just ain? t no 'Ifs'
'Cause Annie? s been a workin? on a midnight shift
If you got a good mama that? s stayin? at home
You? d better enjoy it 'cause it won? t last long
When you think everything? s all right
She starts slippin? round in the middle of the night
Brother, there just ain? t no 'Ifs'
It`s so easy to fall in love.
It`s so easy to fall in love.
People tell me love`s for fools.
So, here I go, breaking all the rules.
It seems so easy,
oh so doggone easy,
it seems so easy.
Where you`re concerned, my heart has learned.
It`s so easy to fall in love.

It seems so easy,
oh so doggone easy,

Where you`re concerned, my heart has learned.
It`s so easy to fall in love.
Well all right, so I'm being foolish
Well all right, let people know
About the dreams and wishes you wish
And the night when lights are low
Well all right, well all right
We'll live and love with all our might
Well all right, well all right
Our lifetime love will be all right
Well all right, so I'm going steady
It's all right when people say
That those foolish kids can't be ready
For the love that comes their way
Well all right, well all right
We'll live and love with all our might
Well all right, well all right
Our lifetime love will be all right
Well all right, well all right
We'll live and love with all our might
Well all right, well all right

Sweethearts you and I
Wait till the sun shines, Nellie

Down Lover's Lane we'll wander
Sweethearts you and I

One lonely night at this drive-in
(One lonely night at this drive-in)
And now I know what a fool I? ve been
(And now I know what a fool I? ve been)
She was to meet me
(An empty cup, a broken date)
We had a date
(A broken date, an empty cup)
A date at seven, I dreamed of heaven
Now it? s way past eight
She just drove by with another guy
(She just drove by with another guy)
No wonder I can? t help but cry
(No wonder I, by and by)
An empty cup, a broken date
Now it? s way past eight
An empty cup, a broken date
To think she never cared
(An empty cup, a broken date)
Just tears me up
(A broken date, an empty cup)
Now all I have to show for love
Is this empty cup
Just like this Coke my love is gone
(Just like this Coke my love is gone)
I? ve hit the bottom now I? m all alone
Strange things take place in my moondreams
as the lonely and loveless hours go by
your face takes its place in every moonbeam
moondreams bring thoughts gentle as a sigh
Moondreams can be a sensation
moondreams may be fascination
love can be our destination
you and I can share this dream
Wishing for you in my moondreams
as the lonely and loveless hours go by
will do until you can share all my dreams
Oh, girl on my mind
Please come back to me
I love you with all my heart
With you I want to be
I want you to be near me
Is that too much to ask?
Oh, girl on my mind

You are the one and the only
You are mine to have and to love
No one could ask for more
You're mine to adore
Girl on my mind

Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey

Everyone said, go ahead and her
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey

You don't like crazy music
You don't like rockin' bands
You just wanna go to the movie show
And sit there holdin' hands
You're so square
Baby I don't care
I don't know why my heart skips
I only know it does
I don't know why, I love you baby
I guess it's just because
You're so square
Baby I don't care
You don't know any dance steps that I do
I only know I love you and I do, I do, I do, I do
I don't know why my heart skips
I only know it does
I don't know why, I love you baby
I guess it's just because
You're so square

and I know, it's got me reelin',
I'm so glad that you're leaving you love for me.Rave on, rave on and tell me, tell me not to be lonely,
I should have reconsidered all those things I said I'd do
so now I'm changing all those changes
that I made when I left you
Sweetheart I'm changing all those changes
that I made when I left you
because I made those changes when I thought you were untrue
But now you're gone - I've found I'm wrong
there's nothing I can do
except to change up all those changes
that I made when I left you
I didn't stop to think - I just left without a care
and know I know you're gone and I can't find you anywhere
I should have reconsidered all those things I said I'd do
so now I'm changing all those changes
Dearest - though you're the nearest to my heart
please don't ever - umm ya

You scold and you were so bold

You may be a million miles away

I love you - I love you
Come home - keep me from these sleepless nights

Well, my old car's a rollin' down the line
Thoughts of my baby runnin' through my mind
She's a-waitin' for me and I gotta be on time
I gotta roll roll roll, I gotta roll roll roll
Well, the white marker's flying off the road below
When I'm really flying low
My baby's waiting, I can't go slow
I gotta roll roll roll, I gotta roll roll roll
Well, the big policeman pulled along side of me
He said, "Boy, you ain't quite as fast as me"
I showed him a picture of that baby of mine
He said, "Boy, you gotta roll on down that line"
Well, my old car's a rollin' down the line
Thoughts of my baby runnin' through my mind
She's a-waitin' for me and I gotta be on time
I gotta roll roll roll, I gotta roll roll roll

Wishing
That I could see you every day
Wishing
That I could steal your heart away
Dreaming
Of the time I can hold you tight
Wishing
That the time would come tonight
I've been hoping all along
Things would turn out right
If I could find the wishing star
Then I would spend the night
Wishing
That I could see you every day
Wishing
That I could steal your heart away
I've been hoping all along
Things would turn out right
If I could find the wishing star
Then I would spend the night

Blue Monday
(Bartholomew / Domino)
Blue Monday, how I hate Blue Monday
Got to work like a slave all day
Here come Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
I'm so tired that I've no time to play
Here come Wednesday, I'm beat to my socks
My gal calls, and I tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard workin' day
And Friday I get my pay
Saturday mornin', oh Saturday mornin'
All my tiredness has gone all away
Find my money meet my honey
And go out on the town to play
Sunday mornin' my head is bad
But it's worth it for the time that I've had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess
Saturday mornin', oh Saturday mornin'
All my tiredness has gone all away
Find my money meet my honey
And go out on the town to play
Sunday mornin' my head is bad
But it's worth it for the time that I've had
But I've got to get my rest
blue days, black nights, blue tears keep on falling for you dear,now you're gone.blue days, black nights, my heart keeps on calling for you dearand you alone.memories of you make me sorryi gave you reason to doubt me

i would miss you the way i doand now somehow i know i will pay for the timesi have made you bluememories of you make me sorryi gave you reason to doubt me
Lonesome tears, sad and blue
I shed lonesome tears for you
Guess you know I know why
I cried when you said, "Goodbye"
When you left and you said, "I'm gone"
Lonesome tears fell all night long
Yes, you know I know why
I cried when you said, "Goodbye"
You left me here all alone
Hear me talkin', won't you come back home?
Love me like you did before
Now need I tell you more?
Lonesome tears, sad and blue
I shed lonesome tears for you
Guess you know I know why
I cried when you said, "Goodbye"
You left me here all alone
Hear me talkin', won't you come back home?
Love me like you did before
Now need I tell you more?
Lonesome tears, sad and blue
I shed lonesome tears for you
Guess you know I know why
Crying, waiting, hoping, you'll come back
I just can't seem to get you off my mind
Crying, waiting, hoping, you'll come back
You're the one I love and I think about you all the time
Crying', my tears keep fallin' all night long
Waitin' it seems so useless, I know it's wrong
To keep crying, waiting, hoping, you'll come back
Maybe someday soon, things will change and you'll be mine
Crying', my tears keep fallin' all night long
Waitin' it seems so useless, I know it's wrong
To keep crying, waiting, hoping, you'll come back
Maybe someday soon, things will change and you'll be mine

Send me your picture - send it my dear
so I can hold it - pretend you are near
Can't you send me your kisses - I can feel their touch
I need you so badly - I miss you so much
My days are so lonely - my nights are so blue
It's too late, she's gone
It's too late, my baby's gone
Wish I had told her, she was my only one
But it's too late, she's gone
It's a weak man that cries
So I guess I'd best dry my eyes
Guess I will miss her more than any one
But it's too late, she's gone
She's gone, yes, she's gone
She's gone, my, my baby's gone
She's gone, yes, she's gone
Where can my baby be
I wonder does she know
When she left me, it hurt me so
I need your lovin', please don't make me weep
Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me
It's funny honey, you don't care
You never listen to my prayer
Maybe baby, you will love me someday
Well, you are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
When someday you want me, well-a, I'll be there, wait and amp see
Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me
Oh well, you are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
When someday you want me, well-a, I'll be there, wait and amp see
Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me
well get out from that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
get out from that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans
well roll my breakfast 'cause I'm a hungry man
when you wear those dresses the sun comes shinin' through
when you wear those dresses the sun comes shinin' through
I cant believe my eyes, all of this belongs to you
I said shake, rattle and roll
shake, rattle and roll
shake, rattle and roll
shake, rattle and roll
well you never do nothin' to save your doggone soul
way over the hill and wigged out underneath
way over the hill and wigged out underneath
you make me roll my eyes baby make me grit my teeth
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a sea-food store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a sea-food store
Well that'll be the day
When you say good-bye
Yea that'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave
You know it's a lie
'cause that'll be the day
When I die
Well you give me all your lovin'
And your turtle dovin'
All your hugs and kisses and your money too
Well uh you know you love me baby
Still you tell me maybe
That someday well I'll be blue
Well that'll be the day

When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave
You know it's a lie
'cause that'll be the day

He shot it at your heart
So if we ever part then I'll leave you
You sit and hold me and you
Tell me boldly

Well that'll be the day
When you say good-bye

When you make me cry

When I die

Mailman, bring me no more blues
mailman, bring me no more blues
one little letter is all I can use
She wrote me only one sad line
told me she's no longer mine
Mr. Mailman - that'll do for some time
Cry - like never before
so hard - couldn' cry no more
shoo shoo mailman - stay away from my door
Mailman, bring me no more blues
mailman, bring me no more blues
Blue days - black nights
blue tears keep on fallin' - for you dear
now you're gone
blue days - black nights
my heart keeps on calling for you dear
and you alone
Memories of you make me sorry
I gave you reason to doubt me
but now you're gone and I am left here all alone
with blue memories - I think of you
Blue days - black nights
I didn't realize I would miss you
the way I do
and now somehow I know I will pay
I?m just sittin? here reminiscin'
Wonderin' who you?ve been kissin?
Baby, wo oh baby
I?ve been wonderin' all around
There must be a new guy in town
You don?t love me anymore
I?ll get over you baby
Although my heart?s still sore
Well, you know my heart?s still sore
When I think of all the lies you told
To that young man my heart you sold
You?re a cheater and a mean mistreater
When I think of all the fun we had
Kinda makes me feel so sad
I?m lonely for your love
And the longest day I live
It?s only you that I?ll be thinkin' of
You know I?m thinkin? of
One day while I was eating down at Smokey Joe's cafe
A-sittin' there readin' down at Smokey Joe's cafe
A chicken walked in through the door
That I had never seen before
At least I never saw her down at Smokey Joe's cafe
And it scared me when she sat right down next to me
Her knees were almost touching mine at Smokey Joe's cafe
A chill was runnin' down my spine at Smokey Joe's cafe
I could smell her sweet perfume
She smiled and made my heart go boom
And everybody room at Smokey Joe's cafe
They said "be careful - that chick belongs to Smokey Joe"
And from behind the counter - I saw a man
A chef's hat on his head and a knife in his hand
He grabbed me by the collar and began to shout
"you better eat up all your beans, boy and clear right on out!"
Well, I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's cafe
And so I'll never see again at Smokey Joe's cafe
I'd rather eat my chili beans at Jim's or Jack's or John's or Gene's
Than take my chances eating down at Smokey Joe's cafe
