Too good to be forgotten
Too good to be forgotten.
Benny was a boy I met while walking home one day
He made me forget my marbles
He said he had another game to play.
One thing led to another
Now what more can T sar?
Just one of the reasons why I got him by my side today.
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Too good to be forgotten
I'll never let him get away.
One in a million people
Shout it from the highest steeple.
He's just one of the few
Got my mind
Got my life wrapped up in love!
Well
His hair was shiny
Long and black
It smelled so sweet and bright
I thought of him and dreamed of him all night affer night.
I love the ground he walks on
The very air he breathes
I ain't never gonna leave him 'cause I am as happy as Ican be.
He's just too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say? . . .
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Too good to be forgotten
I'Il never let him get away.
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Too good to be forgotten
I'll never let him get away.
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Fifty million'reasons why I'll never let him get away.
He was too good to be forgotten
Now what more can I say?
Too good to be forgotten
Close my eyes and count to ten
I go to work and back again
There ain't nothing in between
The things the lonely do
I go thumbing through the invites
Always settle for the low lights
I don't like to fill my life
With things the lonely do
I don't try to understand the talk at parties
'Cause I'm never free
I don't try to make believe the invitations
Are meant for me
Oh, independence always looked fine
So one day I thought I'd make it mine
But I never talk about
The things the lonely do
Are you lonely too
I don't try to understand the talk at parties
'Cause I'm never free
I don't try to make believe the invitations
Are meant for me
Oh, independence always looked fine
So one day I thought I'd make it mine
But I never talk about
The things the lonely do
Close my eyes and count to ten
I go to work and back again
There ain't nothing in between
The things the lonely do
There ain't nothing in between
The things the lonely do
There ain't nothing in between
No, nothing

(Are you lonely too)

Vernon will meet me when the Boeing lands
Keys to the MG will be in his hand
Adjust to the driving and I'm on my way
It's all on the right side of Montego Bay
Sing out
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh
Come sing me la
Come sing me Montego Bay
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh
And Gillian will meet me like a brother would
I think I remember but it's twice as good
Like how cool the rum is from his silver tray
I thirst to be thirsty in Montego Bay
Sing out
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh
Come sing me la
Come sing me Montego Bay
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh
I lay on the Lilo 'til I'm lobster red
I still feel the motion here at home in bed
I tell you it's hard for me to stay away
You ain't been till you've been high in Montego Bay
Sing out
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh
Come sing me la
Come sing me Montego Bay
You blow so hot, then you blow cold
When I make adjustments to your vertical hold
You hit the roof, then you hit the floor
You keep me dancing 'til my feet get sore
Baby, you're so excitable
I don't care if you get me into trouble
Baby, you're so excitable
Won't you share some excitement with me tonight
I want to stay in, you want to go out
I get nervous when you scream and shout
You blow your top, I'll mend your fuse
You make me offers that I can't refuse
Baby, you're so excitable
I don't care if you get me into trouble
Baby, you're so excitable
I don't want you to change your ways
I'm happy to follow your star
I'll just take you the way that you are
Baby, you're so excitable
I don't care if you get me into trouble
Baby, you're so excitable
I don't want you to change your ways
I'm happy to follow your star
I'll just take you the way that you are
Take a look at the state I'm in
I'm drowning and a-trailing
I hang on 'cause I can't let go
One look at you and I can't say no
Baby, you're so excitable
I don't care if you get me into trouble
Baby, you're so excitable
Won't you share some excitement with me tonight
Baby, you're so excitable
I don't care if you get me into trouble
Baby, you're so excitable
Won't you share some excitement with me tonight

Can't get no gyro
Smoking in a bar in Cairo
So I'm doing all I can
For the big man in Cairo
I'm on the heavy manners in the daytime
But on the hula, hula in the night
With no milkshake and no handshake
Sleeping in the morning like a tourist
Working for the dummy all the time
With me big wheel and me high heel

hear the rain fall
december morning
how i want you bad
take my chances
on your weaknesses
hope you find i’m all you want.
in a city where lovers come to walk
walk along the river’s busy shores
to a city where the prairies meet the pines
meet the pines…
the conversation ended at the bar
i wrapped a hopeful thought around my neck to keep me warm.
i was greeted by a maze of speculation
you are mine
i fell in love with your tori
but you didn’t grow to like mine very much
back to the point…
here’s something worth mentionning:
it’s less about a stage and more about
fear
about fear
how our twenties drive us mad
how we’re losing all our favorite stars
making conclusions as we go
well, here’s one
these similar interests
they taste like conviction
or inspiration at one a.m.
i tell you what –
here’s something worth mentioning
i want you to be better
without fear.
of how your twenties drive you mad
how you’re losing all your favorite stars
making conclusions as you go
well, here’s one
what do you expect from me, after these takes … after this
what do you dream .. in the afternoon ..
i'll never know .. .what's in your head.
out past the cars on the railway
out past the city's finery
we see our breath and connection
underneath these gravel lines.
you …. you stole a page from the blanks
how do you weigh all of our fears
typical, isn't it typical
that someone like me would invite you in
we took a drive in the country
your photographs were never mine
slapped in the face by the questions
posed by these gravel lines
out past the cars on the railway
out past the city's finery
we see our breath and connection
they say we don't remember days
it's the moments we recall
for me it's the silences that seem to erode, erode…
i guess you didn't know what to say back then
has turned to now
and I'm still
i'm still left wondering how I fit in
what part have I played in your life
you're unhappy with the cards you've been dealt
you can fold that hand anytime
and try, try one more time
to say
to shape the silences
we never could seem to connect
a futile pursuit was evident
with our different objectives, interests and ways,
ways of doing ..
but in every leaf is a pattern of the tree
in turn that must mean there's a history
a history
of you in me ... wrapped up in me.
what part have I played in your life
you're unhappy with the cards you've been dealt
you can fold that hand anytime
and try, try one more time for my sake
i know you were younger then, and maybe naïve
but making excuses is not on our side
'cause I don't even know how to say "love"
it's like walking for the very first time
we will never know the damage we've done ...
the price we have paid
for the silence
in this lifetime….
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he marries her then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart
But if you make an ugly woman your wife
you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Sax solo
Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Spoken:
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
