I've heard them say love was a wonderful things
Something you couldn't hide on a shelf
But for me they no longer have to explain
Because I know for myself
He awakens each morn with a smile on his face
When a boy is in love
And the world to him is a beatiful place
When a boy is in love
He's up and he's gone
There's no breakfast for him
Cause he lives on the love of his sweet little gem
The days not through, though it's not very long
Before he must talk to his girl on the phone
That's how it is when a boy falls in love
His girl's voice on the phone brings him wondrous delight
When a boy is in love
If there's been any darkness, it all fades from sight
When a boys in love
He can hardly wait til the moment they meet
For he knows when he sees her his day will be complete
When they're finally alone and he kisses her lips
The world sings a love song and his heart turns a flip
That's how it is when a boy falls in love
At the end of the day the time comes they must part
The strings of regret tear away at his heart
And late in the night as he sleeps on his bed
Visions of her sweet song, how they dance in his head
And before you know he is buying a ring
To capture forever that sweet darling thing
That's how it is when a boy falls in love
That's how it is when a boy falls in love
Your my girl you're so sweet
Honey you can't be beat
I love you, I love you
Most of allI believe you can rock you can roll

Honey, you're mine,all mine

That's why I'm in the shape I'm in Ohh
Another fella told me, he had a sister that looked so fine.
Instead of being my deliverance, she had a strong resemblance to a
Cat named Frankenstein
Chorus

A cherry when it's bloomin', ain't got no stone

A ring when it's rollin', it has no end
And oh, a baby when it's sleepin', there's no cryin'

Honey, when he promised you that fur coat
A baby could have seen through that
Now you were the believer, he wasn't the deceiver
He was just talkin' trash
Now when he promised you the fur coat that day
He was just tryin' to make things go his way
And honey, you were the believer, he wasn't the deceiver
He was just talkin' trash
Listen to me
Now when I bought my car, the salesman
Told me it'll do a hundred fifty flat
I thought I had a hot potato but then I found out later
He was just talkin' trash
Baby, when I bought the car, I was willing to bet
I thought that it would run like a new Corvette
Well, I thought I had a hot potato but then I found out later
That he was just talkin' trash
Now this phrase was made for honest Abe's
Who can't live up to promises they made
Let me show you just how life is
When you tell someone about our chat
I'll bet a nickel to a dollar the first thing they will holler is
"He was just talkin' trash"
Baby, but I must admit that you're kinda cute
And it would be sorta nice to talk some trash to you
I'll bet a nickel to a dollar, the first thing they'll holler
Is Sam was just talkin' trash
Yeah, I'll bet a nickel to a dollar, the first thing they'll holler
Is he was just talkin' trash

A story about my girl

Because she's the sweetest thing in this whole world

And she hires two nurses, one to hold my hand
The other one to rub my head
Sugar dumpling, you're my baby
I love you in every way
(Sugar dumpling)
Sugar dumpling, you're my baby
My love grows stronger everyday
(Everyday)
Oh, whenever I tell her, "Honey I'm hungry"
Now go and fix me something to eat
This girl rushes in the kitchen and fixes me a dinner
With seven different kinds of meat
If I call her up at two o'clock in the morning
And say, "Come on over if you can"
Before I hang up the telephone, she's sitting beside me
With a cup of coffee in her hand
Sugar dumpling, you're my baby

And I got a short time to go
Where to they go
Smoke rings I blow each night
Oh, where to they go
Those circles of blue and white
I wonder, why do they sing
To picture a dream above, above
Above, above, above
Then why do they fade
My phantom parade of love
Puff, puff, puff
Oh, you can puff your cares away
Puff, puff, puff
Night and day
Blow, blow them into air
Silky little rings
Oh, little smoke rings I love
Please take me above with you
One more thing I wanna know is
Where do they end
The smoke rings I send on a high
Where are they hurled
When they've kissed the world goodbye
Let me tell you that
I'd give my life to laugh at this strife
Below, below, below
Down here below, for I'd be a king
I'd follow each ring I blow
So little smoke rings I love

I'd make you see I loved you somehow
If I could only see you one more time
So please say you'll let me see you
Five minutes all alone
It's so hard to make you understand
Talking on the phone
I'd like you to know, I know, I was wrong
I'd like you to know my love is still strong
Jee, but I'd like to see you one more time
La, la, la
La, la, la
If I go
A million miles away
I'd write a letter
Each and every day
'Cuz honey nothin', nothin'
Can change this love I have for you
Make me weep
You can make me cry
See me comin'
And you can pass me by
But honey nothin', nothin'
Can change the love I have for you
You're the apple of my eye
You're cherry pie
And oh you're cake and ice cream
Oh you're sugar and spice
And everything nice
You're the girl of my, my, my, my dreams
If you wanted
To leave me and roam
When you got back
I'd just say "Welcome home"
'Cuz honey nothin', nothin'
Can change this love I have for you
I know that nothin', nothin'
I've got a girl and, man, she's, oh, so fine
Someday I'd like to make her mine, oh, mine

When I want to sweet talk
All she wants to do is dance
Let me tell you
She likes the movin' and a groovin'
Man, she likes the movin' and a groovin'
Rock in the night out and the day in
She likes the swishin' and the swayin'
Oh, she like the movin' and a grovin'
Watch her move, move, move, move
Ask her to a movie, just the other day
Try to make her relax, in a different way
It didn't pay, I didn't even stand a chance
She said, you go to movie
I think that I'd rather dance
She made it plain to me
She likes the movin' and a groovin'
She likes the movin and a groovin
Rock in the night out and the day in
She likes the swishin' and the swayin'
Man, she like the movin' and a groovin'
Watch her move, move, move, move
I've got the situation well in hand
I found out that if I'm going to be man
I've gotta be a man
If I'm gonna stand a chance
If I'm gonna make her my woman
I've just got to learn and dance
Now you wanna see me
I'm doing the movin' and a grovin'
I'm doing the movin' and a grovin'
We're rockin' the night out and the day in
We're doing the swishin' and the swayin'

Wonder why my baby can't be found
I'm lost and a-lookin' for my baby
Lord knows my baby ain't around
So I'm lost and a-lookin' for my baby
Wonder why my baby can't be found
Lost and a-searching for my baby

Laughin' and clownin'
Just to keep from cryin'
I'm laughin' and clownin'
Just to keep from cryin'
I keep on tryin' to hide the fact
I've got a worried mind
Let me tell you, being life of the party
Seemed to be my role
Since you left me, baby, being life of the party
Seemed to be my role
I keep on tryin' to hide my feelings
Trying to hide my soul
Let me tell you what I do, I stand in the doorway
Watchin' all the girls go through
You might not believe me, baby, but I stand in the doorway
Watchin' all the girls go through
I keep on tryin' to me find someone
To take my mind off you, tickle 'em for me
I keep on laughin' and clownin'
I was a wanderer
Far away from God
I had sorrow in my bosom
And my way was mighty hard
Then I heard that gospel story
How He came down from His throne in glory

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
At least, that's the way the story goes
Frankie bought everything for Johnny
From his sports car to his Ivy League clothes
Oh, he was a man alright
Oh, but he was doing a wrong
Just to show you what can happen
A friend came running to Frankie
Said, "You know I wouldn't tell you no lie
I saw your man riding in his Jaguar
With a chick named Mary Bley"
Oh and if he was your man honey
Let me tell you he was doing you wrong
Let me tell the story
Frankie ran around the corner
And peeped in a swinging place
And there she saw Johnny with a woman
He had his arm around her waist, oh he was a man alright
But Frankie could see that he was doing a wrong
And oh let me tell you, Frankie reached down in her pocketbook
And up with a long 44, she shot once, twice, three times
And Johnny fell on the hardwood floor
Oh he was a man alright
But she shot him because he was doing a-wrong
But the last thing he told her was
Frankie, you know I love you why?
Honey why did you do that?
Frankie, I was telling her about you
Frankie, you know I love you
Frankie, you know that I love you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah and now Frankie
Frankie you know good well that I love you
Frankie I'll always love you baby
Frankie, you know I can't do without you
Frankie, you know I love you
I'm your man and although I was doing you wrong
Wrong wrong let me tell you
Frankie baby you know I love you baby
If I could see your tender smile
And hold you close just a little while
I'd want this love to last forever
And if one day your trembling hands
Will touch my lips, I'll understand
And want this love to last forever
Why, why, why won't you tell me
Tell me the way you feel
Why, why, why
Why won't you hold me
And tell me that this love is real
If I look in your eyes and see
That you shared a tear for me
I'd want this love to last forever
But then, maybe I'll get tired of trying
To make you love me too
And then you'll want this love to last forever
Why, why, why won't you tell me
Tell me the way you feel
Why, why, why
Why won't you hold me
And tell me that this love is real
If I look in your eyes and see
That you shared a tear for me
I'd want this love to last forever
But then, maybe I'll get tired of trying
To make you love me too
I often think off the live I've led
And oh, it's a wonder, I ain't dead
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living is a fool's paradise
My mother told me and my father told me too
Said my child, it's all catch up with you
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living in a fool's paradise
Though I've learned my lesson
Like all fools I've met
Oh, I've learned things in this life
That I haven't forgotten yet
My father told me, my mother said it right
Said my son, you're ruining your life
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living in a fool's paradise

You're liable for to see him here any old time

Oh, and just like the river I've been running ever since.
It's been a long, a long time coming but I know
A change go'n come, oh yes it will.
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there; beyond the sky.
It's been a long, a long time coming but I know
A change go'n come, oh yes it will.
I go to the movies and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around.
It's been a long, a long time coming but I know
A change go'n come, oh yes it will.
Then I go to my brother,
And I say, "Brother, help me please."
But he winds up knockin' me, back down on my knees.

long
But now I think I'm able to carry on.
It's been a long, a long time coming but I know
