This week I’m in Wells, in Somerset, not to be mistaken with Wells in Somerset. Toby's channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/tobydolier?sub_confirmation=1 You may think that this picturesque location is a town but it’s not a town, it's a city and that’s because it has a cathedral. In fact it’s the smallest city in the UK. Wells Cathedral is actually relatively new, it was built in 2009. The architect, Mrs Maureen Tucker gave the finished building it’s “aged” look by dabbing the brick work with tea bags. Many have accused Well’s residents of being xenophobic and intolerant of other cultures which is why it may surprise you that Wells was the first place in the UK to regular produce curry. The first one they brought out in England was the vegetable bhuna, other dishes followed in subsequent years. No visit to Wells would be complete without a visit to Bakwell Manor, the former home of the late Mr Kipling. Guest to the manor house often report seeing the ghost of the famous baker who, in life, was exceedingly good at making cakes. __________ Music: http://audiojungle.net/item/spanish-rhythmic-guitar/151349 / http://audiojungle.net/item/spanish-summer-dance/2421901 Stock video: http://videohive.net/item/indian-curry-vegetables-with-couscous/4765614

St. Petersburg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3ISUUO0CSo Kyoto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd1wzlwtKJ0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lake Louise - City Video Guide Lake Louise is just 200 km from Banff and Banff National Park. While most creatures are hibernating in the winter, Lake Louise is just coming to life. Frozen waterfalls, alpine woodlands, and plenty of chances to play on the snow all make Lake Louise an ideal place to visit during winter time. Lake Louise tourism opportunities are a dream come true for snow lovers. The Lake Louis ski area has a whopping 42 acres of mountain terrain and well over 100 marked trails. Snowboarders are also welcome to make their way down the mountain. What better way to do some Lake Louise sightseeing than on the back of a dogsled? Dogsledding is a true adventure, taking you through forest trails. Once you’ve had your fill of the slopes, slow things down with an ice skating excursion or snowshoe across the frozen lake. Enjoy Lake Louise tours in a horse drawn carriage, where you can soak up the chilled air and have a magical winter experience. While you have your choice of accommodations, none quite compare to the Fairmont Chateau, which sits right on the shore of the lake and is exquisitely outfitted.

Travel video about destination Tunisia. Tunis is a North African city with a long history. After the Hasfides and Osmans, the Spanish Moors came but then had to give way to French colonial rule until present day Independence. In the old town, there are more than 700 historic monuments which include 200 palaces, a colourful variety of buildings and numerous mosques.Among shoreline lava rock is the entrance to the Ghar El-Kebir, a collection of sandstone grottos. During Roman times, thousands of slaves were forced to bring building material for Carthage and El Djem from subterranean shafts. In Sousse, the simple fort of Ribat is probably the oldest Islamic building in North Africa, in which Muslim soldiers lived in monastery-like isolation and in the town’s Archaeological Museum there is a fantastic range of mosaics, predominantly from Punic and Roman excavations. Gabes is an oasis town which overflows with luxuriant floral splendour. By horse and carriage visitors can travel through one of the most beautiful maritime oases in Tunisia where, under 500,000 date palms, tobacco, henna, pumpkins, apricots and bananas thrive. The focal point of important caravan routes and trading centre for goods from Libya and Black Africa, Medenine is a very charming and lively city. Its reinforced honeycomb-shaped caves were the extraordinary-looking buildings that many will recall from the film ‘Star Wars’. The Sahara is the largest desert on earth, with different landscapes such as rock deserts, salt deserts and serene oases. Kebili is located on the edge of a huge salt lake and is a typical desert village with a green oasis and Artesian springs which provide water for its fruit and vegetable gardens. Nefta is also a green paradise in the desert, an oasis town that boasts no less than 152 Artesian wells. Dougga contains Tunisia’s most important ruins which nestle in the hills among shimmering olive trees and poppy fields. Endless deserts and fertile oases, busy towns and isolated mountain regions, Roman temples and Muslim mosques: Tunisia is tempting!

This video for Banff National Park Vacation Travel Guide is one of our older productions, but we wanted to share it with you to get some feedback on how these older clips compare to the more recent travel guides we’ve shot. Below are some links to those recent videos. Feel free to compare with this clip and comment below to let us know which ones you prefer, and what else you’d love to see from Expedia on YouTube! St. Petersburg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3ISUUO0CSo Kyoto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd1wzlwtKJ0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you imagine the Canadian Rockies, Banff National Park is likely the image that comes to mind. While a beautiful location for hiking and relaxation during the summer, this 2,500 square mile alpine mountain sanctuary comes alive during the winter. Snowy forests, glacier-carved lakes, and icefields set the scene in this, Canada’s first national park. Your Banff National Park tour begins in Banff itself, a resort town with a casual atmosphere, loaded with bars and restaurants, and continues into the park’s vast outdoor space, which is often utilized for winter activities. Whether you’re an experienced skier or are new to the sport, you’ll find thousands of acres of slopes to carve up. Take lessons in town or at one of the resorts dotting the mountains, or, if you’re not sure about skiing, try snowshoeing and hiking through the pristine wilderness. Embark on the Johnston Canyon Ice Walk for one of the most astonishing views of nature you’ll ever see…or book a sleigh ride or dog sledding ride for an adventure straight out of a storybook. Ready to really appreciate some natural beauty? Your Banff National Park sightseeing will lead you to the Banff Gondola and let it take you to the summit for a view of Bow Valley and the surrounding Rocky Mountains. We promise you’ve never seen anything like it. What will you do at Banff National Park?

Wells is a cathedral city and civil parish in the Mendip district of Somerset, England, on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills. Although the population recorded in the 2001 census is 10,406, it has had city status since 1205. It is the second smallest English city in terms of area and population after the City of London although, unlike the latter, Wells is not part of a larger metropolitan conurbation, and is consequently described in some sources as being England's smallest city.
The name Wells derives from the three wells dedicated to Saint Andrew, one in the market place and two within the grounds of the Bishop's Palace and cathedral. There was a small Roman settlement around the wells, but its importance grew under the Saxons when King Ine of Wessex founded a minster church in 704, around which the settlement grew. Wells became a trading centre and involved in cloth making before its involvement in both the English Civil War and the Monmouth Rebellion during the 17th century. In the 19th century, transport infrastructure improved with stations on three different railway lines.
Mary Esther Wells (May 13, 1943 – July 26, 1992) was an American singer who helped to define the emerging sound of Motown in the early 1960s. Along with The Miracles, The Temptations, The Supremes, and the Four Tops, Wells was said to have been part of the charge in black music onto radio stations and record shelves of mainstream America, "bridging the color lines in music at the time."
With a string of hit singles composed mainly by Smokey Robinson, including "Two Lovers" (1962), the Grammy-nominated "You Beat Me to the Punch" (1962) and her signature hit, "My Guy" (1964), she became recognized as "The Queen of Motown" until her departure from the company in 1964, at the height of her popularity. She was one of Motown's first singing superstars.
Mary Esther Wells was born near Detroit's Wayne State University on May 13, 1943, to a mother who worked as a domestic and an absentee father. One of three children, she contracted spinal meningitis at the age of two and struggled with partial blindness, deafness in one ear and temporary paralysis. During her early years, Wells lived in a poor residential Detroit district. By age 12, she was helping her mother with house cleaning work. She described the ordeal years later:
Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr. (April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984), better known by his stage name Marvin Gaye (he added the 'e' as a young man), was an acclaimed American singer-songwriter and musician with a three-octave vocal range, who achieved major success in the 1960s and 1970s as an artist for the Motown Records label. He was shot dead by his father on April 1, 1984.
Starting his career as a member of the doo-wop group The Moonglows in the late 1950s, he ventured into a solo career after the group disbanded in 1960, signing with Motown Records subsidiary, Tamla. He started off as a session drummer, but later ranked as the label's top-selling solo artist during the 1960s. He was crowned "The Prince of Motown" and "The Prince of Soul". because of solo hits such as "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)", "Ain't That Peculiar", "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," and his duet singles with singers such as Mary Wells and Tammi Terrell.
His work in the early- and mid-1970s included the albums, What's Going On, Let's Get It On, and I Want You, which helped influence the quiet storm, urban adult contemporary, and slow jam genres. After a self-imposed European exile in the early 1980s, Gaye returned on the 1982 Grammy-Award winning hit, "Sexual Healing" and the Midnight Love album before his death.
When I became of age my mother called me to her side,
she said,"Son, you're growing up now pretty soon you'll take a bride.
And then she said, "Just because you've become a young man now,
there's still somethings that you don't understand now;
before you ask some girl for her hand now
keep your freedom for as long as you can now."
My mama told me, "You better shop around,
Oh yeah, you better shop around."
(shop, shop around)
Ah, there's somethings that I want you to know now.
Just as sure as the winds gonna blow now
women come and the women gonna go, now
before you tell em that you love em so now.
My mama told me, "You better shop around,
Oh yeah, you better shop around."
(shop, shop around)
A-try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don't be sold on the very first one.
A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
a-try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'.
Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
make sure she's in love with-a you now.
My mama told me, "You better shop around."
Oo yeah, A-try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don't be sold on the very first one.
A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
a-try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'.
Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
make sure she's in love with-a you now.
Make sure that her love is true now.
I hate to see you feelin' sad and blue now."
My mama told me, "You better shop around.
(shop around)
My mama told me, "You better shop around.
(shop around)
My mama told me, "You better shop around.
Once upon a time I almost lost my mind
I was lonely, so lonely
Once upon a time
Hoping every day things would go my way
Then you came into my life
Now everything is fine
I never knew what love could do till I met you
Now everything is oh so cozy
Now my skies are blue all because of you
I'm so glad; I was lonely
The sweet things you do to me
Like holding my hand
When I'm low, you let me know
You always understand
And I love the way you love
It makes me feel so fine
I love the way you love
Because I know you're all mine
I'll never do you wrong
I'll never make you cry
If you stop lovin' me
I know that I'll just die
Because I love the way you love
It makes me feel so fine
I love the way you love
Because I know you're mine, all mine
Folks tell me now and then, find somebody new
I don't care what the people may say
I'm sticking right here with you
Because I love the way you love
It makes me feel so fine
I love the way you love
Because I know you're mine, all mine
Folks tell me now and then, find somebody new
I don't care what the people may say
I'm sticking right here with you
Because I love the way you love
It makes me feel so fine
I love the way you love
Laughing boy (ha ha ha ha ha)
that's what they used to call you
before you found a new love to take my place
(ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
laughing boy (ha ha ha ha ha)
that's what they used to call you
you always wore a smile upon your face
(ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
but as i look at you now, i know that somehow
the smile you're wearing is untrue
laughing boy (laughing boy), i think you're blue
Your new love (your new love)
she really must have hurt you
she really must have filled your heart with pain
'cause i know you well (know you well)
and you could never fool me
i know that somehow you're not the same
(la la la la la la la la)
as i look at you now, i know that somehow
when you say you're happy, you're lying
laughing boy (laughing boy), i believe you've been crying
(instrumental)
(la la la la la la la la)
don't you know that it's true, i still love you
just as much as i did before
so laughing boy (come on home)
come on home, laughing boy (come on home)
come on home, laughing boy (come on home)
What's the matter with you, baby, what's the matter?
What did I do wrong?
Do you really wanna know?
I wanna know, what's the matter with you, baby?
You know that you done me wrong
Sorry, didn't mean no harm
Oh baby, let me take you out tonight
Make every little thing alright
You know you told me
There would never be another
And you know you lied
When you lied, you hurt me baby
When I left and I went away
I didn't know how much I loved you until today
Oh baby, leavin' me wasn't right
And now you wanna take me out tonight
Mary, won't you let me get on your good side?
If I did that, Marvin, it would hurt my pride
Hey, let me make it up to you if I can
I can't do it, don't you understand?
What's the matter with you, baby, what's the matter?
I told you that you done me wrong
Well, can you forgive me, Mary, please forgive me?
I'll try, but it's gonna take some time
Hurry up, hurry up, 'fore I lose my mind
I've got a feelin' everything is gonna work all right
To lose you would be like losing the air I breathe
Would be like losing the flowers in May
The light of the day
I don't think I could find my way if I should lose you
It would be like losing my very soul
You're the only one I'll ever hold dear to my heart
Please don't let us part
But baby, if you keep foolin' 'round with every girl in town
I'm gonna have to put you down
I'm gonna have to lose you before you make me lose my mind
I'm gonna have to leave you behind
I'm tired of you cheatin' & lyin'
I'm tired of bein' blue & cryin'
At first, you know, I had to choose you
But now I'm gonna have to lose you
(instrumental)
(repeat previous verse)
(repeat & fade):
Some other girls are filling your head with jive
So now you're acting like you don?t know that I?m alive
Love, you better wake up, yeah, before we break up
And you lose me, look to me, the one who really loves you
Susie only wants you until the day
That she?ll again have her true love whose far, far away
So love, you better wake up, yeah, before we break up
And you lose me, look to me, the one who really loves you
Jenny only wants you 'cause she thinks she has to have everyone
Minnie only wants you 'cause she think that hurting me would be fun
Silly Lilly, you know she doesn?t really want you with a love that?s true
In fact, there?s no other girl in this whole wide world
Who can love you like I do
They get tired of you and they're gonna put you down
Then they ain?t gonna want you hanging around
So love, you better wake up, yeah, before we break up
And you lose me, look to me, the one who really loves you
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah
You had the sweetest boy in the world
Without a doubt you were the envy of every girl
You're the kind that's never satisfied
You want every boy to pass you by
But the tables turned (the tables turned)
'Cause his words tell you're done
Now the hurt's on you
Your little scheme backfired, it's true
You thought it was fun to make the boys run
You lost the sweetest boy that you had that time
The sweetest boy that you had
'Cause now he's hangin' around my door
More happier than before
Now you're in misery 'cause you lost him to me
Now the hurt's on you, now the hurt's on you
Your little scheme backfired, it's true
You made bets, any boy you could get
You lost the sweetest boy that you had that time
The sweetest boy that you had
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Yes, your loss is my gain
'Cause straight into my arms he came
You want every boy to pass you by
Now the hurt's on you, now the hurt's on you
Your little scheme backfired, it's true
Now tears of regret just covered your face
You lost the sweetest boy that you had that time
The sweetest boy that you had
You lost the sweetest boy that you had that time
That day, I first saw you passing by
I wanted to know your name but I was much too shy
But I was looking at you so hard
Until you must have had a hunch
So you came up to me and asked me my name
You beat me to the punch that time
You beat me to the punch
You beat me to the punch
After I hadn't known you for it seems like a long, long time
I wanted, wanted to ask you, would you please, please be mine
Whenever you came around, my heart would pound
So you must have had a hunch
So you came up to me and asked me to be yours
You beat me to the punch one more time
You beat me to the punch
You beat me to the punch, yeah
Since I love you, I thought you would be true
And love me tender
So I let my heart surrender
To you, yes, I did
But I found out beyond a doubt one day, boy, you were a playboy
Who would go away and leave me blue
So I ain't gonna wait around for you to put me down
This time I'm gonna play my hunch
And walk away this very day
And beat you to the punch this time
And beat you to the punch this time
I'll beat you to the punch, yes, I will
Well well well well
Let's get together and go for a walk in the park
And while we're walking we can steal a little kiss in the dark
I wanna walk with you (I wanna walk with you)
I wanna talk with you (I wanna talk with you)
But it's up you to say "Come on baby"
If you don't hurry up I'll go crazy
'Cause a walk in the park all alone is just no fun
What two can easily do, what two can easily do
Is so hard to be done by one
I'm sure that you know that I love you with all of my heart
But a love that's true really takes two to start
I wanna do my share (I wanna do my share)
To show you that I care (to show you that I care)
'Cause a one-sided love will never do
You gotta show me that you love me too
'Cause falling in love all alone is just no fun
One can build a love affair slowly
Two can build a love affair fast
One can make a love get started
Two can make it last
So come on and take me by the hand
Lead me up to the preacher man
Together we can do all the things that should be done
What two can easily do, what two can easily do
Is so hard to be done by one
What two can easily do, what two can easily do
Well, I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed
Two lovers and I love them both the same
Let me tell you 'bout my first lover
He's sweet and kind and he's mine all mine
He treats me good like a lover should
And makes me love him
I really, really love him, oh I love him so
And I'll do everything I can to let him know
But I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed
Two lovers and I love them both the same
Let me tell you 'bout my other lover
Well, you know, he treats me bad, makes me sad
Makes me cry but still I can't deny
That I love him, I really, really love him, oh I love him so
And I'll do everything I can to let him know
Darlin', well, don't you know I can tell
Whenever I look at you that you think that I'm untrue?
'Cause I say that I love two but I really, really do
'Cause you're a split personality
And in reality, both of them are you, baby
Well, I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed
Two lovers and I love them both the same
She's not a bad girl because she made me see
Oh how love could be
But she's a bad girl because she wants to be free
She wants to be free
She's not a bad girl to look at
Finer than fine, she said she was mine
But she's a bad girl because it was only a line
I, I bragged to the boys about the girl that I, I had
It broke me up to find out she was bad
And my only wish is that I wish I could make
A bad, bad girl be good
She wasn't a bad girl at first, so good at the start
But now we must part
Oh yes she's a bad girl because she's breaking my heart
Oh, she's breaking my heart
(Bad girl because)
Your conscience has got a hold on you, uh huh huh
You're thinkin' of things you used to do, un huh huh
Things that caused me pain, uh huh huh
Things you can't explain
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Ain't it the truth now, baby
You're hurting deep down inside, uh huh huh
You got a painful look that's in your eyes, yeah yeah yeah 'cause
You remember when, uh huh huh
I said 'You want me back again'
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Oh oh oh I know you need my love
Now that everyone has put you down
But that's the story of a love you always needed
When it ain't around
Now you think that you will get me back, uh huh huh
But don't you bet your life on that, no no no 'cause
You did me wrong before, uh huh huh
I don't want you no more
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Ain't it the truth now, baby
(Instrumental)
'Cause you did me wrong before, uh huh huh
I don't want you no more
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Ain't it the truth now, baby
I don't want you no more
So I don't need your love
(Repeat & fade):
You, you are my, my one desire
You make the sky seem so much brighter
There is something I know
I can't live without you
Oh I can't live without you
Oh underneath a summer sky
All I can see, all I can see is a tear in your eye
No need of crying
You are the only boy for me
Oh every day, oh & every night, I hold you tight
& then you, you kiss me & you squeeze me
With all, with all of your might
Oh you are, you are my one desire
You make the sky seem, seem so much brighter
There is something I know
I can't live without you
Whisper you love me boy
Say the words you seldom say
You love me more
Each passing day
Whisper you love me boy
Just the way you used to do
When our love was true
It's been so long
Since you held me in your arms
Ooh, the joy it brings
Hearing you say sweet things
Whisper you love me boy
Make it sound soft and dear
Tender and sincere
Whisper you love me boy
Say it in your sweet way
The things I seldom hear you say
You used to say
You love me the most
But now you hardly ever hold me close
Whisper you love me boy
Whisper, whisper
She left you last night
And today you called me on the phone
Asked me, if you could come over?
'Cause you didn't want to be alone
So, you want me to stand in for her
And be the love of your next act
But this time I play the part so well
There'll be no need for her coming back, 'cause
You know that I'm your old stand-by
You know that you can call on me
I know the part so well that you can hardly tell
That she's left you in misery
I know you only called me
'Cause you needed company
'Cause once again she's left you
And your heart's in misery, but
You know that I'm your old stand-by
You know that you can call on me
I know the part so well that you can hardly tell
That she's left you in misery
I don't wanna be your old stand-by
I wanna be with you permanently
I'm gonna play the part from the depths of my heart
And you won't need nobody but me
I don't wanna be your old stand-by
I wanna be with you permanently
I'm gonna play the part from the depths of my heart
And you won't need nobody but me
I don't wanna be your old stand-by
I wanna be with you permanently
I'm gonna play the part from the depths of my heart
And you won't need nobody but me
It would be easier to take the wet from water or the dry from sand
Than for anyone to try to separate us or stop us from holding hands, 'cause...
I love you, I love you from the bottom of my heart
& what love has joined together, what love has joined together
Can nobody take it apart
It would be easier to take the cold from the snow or the heat from fire
Than for anyone to take me love from you 'cause you're my heart's desire, &...
I love you, I love you from the bottom of my heart
& what love has joined together, what love has joined together
Can nobody take it apart
Even if they separate us 1000 miles apart
We will still be together in each other's hearts
It would be easier to change all the seasons of the year
Than for anyone to change the way I feel about you; I love you dear
I love you, I love you from the bottom of my heart
& what love has joined together, what love has joined together
Can nobody take it apart
Oh oh boy, oh oh boy
Don't let him sway you away from me
Don't let him say bad things about me
Don't let him tell you that I'm no good for you, oh no boy
Hes only tryin to break us up, tryin to make you mad
Hes about to make you lose the best love you've ever had
Oh oh boy, use your head, oh oh boy
Listen to your heart & not his words
I knew from the start that he was against us
Please don't think that I've been untrue to you, oh no boy
Although he treats you nice & claims to be your friend
Hes always askin me if he can call me now & then
Oh oh boy, use your head, oh oh boy
I tell that you must have faith in me
Give me your trust & I'll never betray you
But don't let him say I'm not the girl for you, oh no boy
Hes only jealous, can't you read between the lines?
Every time you turn your back hes tryin to break your time
Oh oh boy, use your head, oh oh boy, use your head
Don't let him say bad things about me
Tell him you're no good without me
I took your love and said, "Goodbye"
Stayed away, my darling and made you cry
If you turn me away, yeah yeah, all I can say
Is that two wrongs don't make a right
I broke your heart, you know it's true
Now I'm back begging you
Not to turn me away 'cause all I can say
Is that two wrongs don't make a right
Now is your chance to do me wrong
And to tell me that this is the end
Now, my darling, if you can forgive until the longest day I live
I'll never make that same mistake again
I took your love and said goodbye
I stayed away, my darling and made you cry
'Cause if you turn me away baby, yeah yeah, all I can say
Is that two wrongs don't make a right
Please don't turn me away baby, 'cause all I can say
Is that two wrongs don't make a right
You know if you turn, you just turn me away, all I can say
Some other girls are filling your head with jive
So, now you're acting like you don't know I'm alive
Love, you better wake up
Yeah, before we break up
And you lose me, little me
The one who really loves you
Suzie, only wants you until the day
(Only wants you until the day)
That she'll again have her true love
Who's far, far, away
(Her true love who's far away)
(Wake up)
So, love you better wake up
Yeah, before we break up
And you lose me, little me

Ginny only wants you,
'Cause she thinks she has to have everyone
Minnie, only wants you
'Cause she thinks that hurting me would be fun
Oh, oh, oh
Silly Lilly, you know she doesn't really
Want you with a love that's true
In fact, there's no other girl
In this whole wide world
Who can love you like I do
They get tired of you
Then they're gonna put ya down
(Put you down, put you down)
They ain't gonna want you hangin' around
(Hangin' around, hangin' around)
(Wake up)
So, love you better wake up
Yeah, before we break up
And you lose me, little me
The one who really loves you

You say you love me, and I believe you do
You really really love me 'cause I love you
I don't wanna take a chance
I don't wanna take a chance
I don't wanna take a chance and come out
Oh, and come out, and come out
Only losin' in
I still remember the last love I had
Left me so blue and oh so sad
But I just wanna let you know
I don't wanna take a chance
I don't wanna take a chance
I don't wanna take a chance and come out
Oh, and come out, and come out
Only losin' in
I've had lonely days oh and lonely nights
That's something that I don't wanna go through, no no
Just give my heart some time
And I know I'll make up mind
When I give it up, I'm gonna give it up to you
You, you you you
One day, baby, when my heart is stronger
And I'll have this fear no longer
Maybe then I'll come running to you
But right now
I don't wanna take a chance
I don't wanna take a chance
I don't wanna take a chance and come out
Oh, and come out, and come out
Laughing Boy (ha ha ha ha ha)
That's what they used to call you
Before you found a new love to take my place
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Laughing Boy (ha ha ha ha ha)
That's what they used to call you
You always wore a smile upon your face
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
But as I look at you now, I know that somehow
The smile you're wearing is untrue
Laughing Boy (Laughing Boy), I think you're blue
Your new love (your new love)
She really must have hurt you
She really must have filled your heart with pain
'Cause I know you well (know you well)
And you could never fool me
I know that somehow you're not the same
(La la la la la la la la)
As I look at you now, I know that somehow
When you say you're happy, you're lying
Laughing Boy (Laughing Boy), I believe you've been crying
(La la la la la la la la)
Don't you know that it's true, I still love you
Just as much as I did before
So Laughing Boy (come on home)
Come on home, Laughing Boy (come on home)
Come on home, Laughing Boy (come on home)
Nothing you could say

Like the birds of a feather
We stick together
I'm tellin' you from the start

Nothing you could buy
Could make me tell a lie to my guy

As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste to be exact
He's my ideal as a matter of fact
No muscle bound man
Could take my hand from my guy
No handsome face
Could ever take the place of my guy
He may not be a movie star
But when it comes to being happy we are
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy
No muscle bound man
Could take my hand from my guy
No handsome face
Could ever take the place of my guy
He may not be a movie star
But when it comes to being happy we are
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy

Who could take me away from my guy

Your love was sweet as wine, any I know so
Don't come back runnin' or knockin' on my front door

Now you're gonna want my love today
Well, bye bye baby
Wo bye bye baby, don't you know oh
Bye bye baby, wo, don't need your love
Yeah yeah, I don't want you, baby

(Baby, honey)
Can't you see you're losing me?
I can't take this misery that you're dishing out to me
The confidence I had in you is gone 'cause you've been untrue
Baby, please, can't you see you're gonna lose me?
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see you're gonna lose me?
Tears I cried, tears I hide
Your other love I know of
She's pretty, I must confess, but for you will she do her best?
Will she give you a love that's true, one truer than I gave to you?
Baby, please, why don't you come on & see about me?
'Cause I can't stand this misery that you're dishin' out to me
Baby, honey
I can't stand this awful pain that's runnin' through my heart
It's tearin' me apart
Come on & ease the pain; it's drivin' me insane
Baby, please, can't you see you're gonna lose me?
Hey baby, ooo honey
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see you're gonna lose me?
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see you're gonna lose me?
I miss a bunch of memories; come on & see about me
I've got a story (story)
I've got a story that I wanna tell you
I've got a story about a boy I know
Who gave all his love to a girl I know
& said that she wouldn't have to worry
No more (no more) no more (no more)
Now he was so faithful (faithful)
Really faithful to his love you see ee
But she was so ungrateful
When she took his love & went out every night
With some other guy; she knew that wasn't right
Now she's sorry
But it's too late, oh it's much too late (too late)
(x2):
When he left her she cried
Tears fell from her eyes
Had she known she loved him so
She never would have let him go
Now it was me (me)
It was me who lost a real true lover
So you see
If you've got a love that's really true to you
From my story, you know just what to do
You'd better love him or treat him good or treat him right
Hold him tight, talk to him right, all day & night
Day without sun, stars without night
Moon without glow, what a lonely sight
CHORUS:
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd see
Me without you (me without you)
Or you without me (you without me), yeah
Birds without song, trees without ground
Man without words, words without a sound
(Chorus)
We vowed to always be as one till the end of time
But now that you've left me, it doesn't seem real somehow
Summer without children running wild, winter without pain, yeah
Summer without heat & a caribou without a game
(Chorus)
You without me (me without you)
Lonely lonely sight (you without me)
Can't you see me cryin', baby? (Me without you)
There's no one mind (you without me)
Come on now, come-a come-a come-a
Come on now, come-a come-a come-a
Come to me, I love you only
Come to me, I'm so lonely
Come to me, I love you only, baby
Well, you said you'll be comin' whenever I need you
& you can bet I'm gonna please you
So come runnin', 'cause now I need you baby
Hey hey, you know I miss you baby
Well, come when the lights are burnin' low
I wanna hear you knock on my door
Tell me baby that you love me so
Love me, love me, love me till you care no more
Come to me, oh I miss you
Come to me, I wanna kiss you
Come to me, oh I miss you baby
Hey hey, you know I miss you baby
(instrumental)
(repeat previous verse)
You that I, I miss you baby
(He's a lover)
Some people talk about my guy
They say he always acts so shy
But I tell you truthfully
When he's all alone with me
He's a lover, yeah
(He's a lover)
He's kind of quiet in a crowd
He never likes to come on loud
But when all the people go
& we turn the lights down low
He's a lover, yeah
Bridge:
When we're alone, he knows the sweetest things to say
He holds me close & loves me in his own sweet way
(He's a lover)
So let them talk about my guy
& let them think he's kind of shy
But I love him like he is
& the secret's mine & his
He's a lover, yeah
(Sax solo, with backup singing title twice)
(Repeat bridge & verse 3)
(Oh yeah) my sweet lover
(Oh yeah) quiet lover
Strange love, I'm experiencing a strange love
And all those funny funny things you do
They only drive me closer
And closer to you, yeah
Strange romance, they say I'll never ever ever ever have a chance
But every time I close my eyes
And try to realize it I find it harder
And harder to do
I wonder, I wonder if he ever thinks about me
And if it's so, I wanna know 'cause
Every day I love him more and more
Strange, strange affair, keep hoping that someday, one day you'll care
Enough to come into my arms so that I can give you
All my and all my, all my love, all my love, all my love, all my love
(Hey hey, my baby's such a sweet thing) (x2)
He's oh such a sweet thing, my baby, oh yeah
Happiness to me he brings, my baby, uh huh
When he takes me in his arms & squeezes me so tight
I feel this growin' squeezin' with all of his might
& he's oh such a sweet thing, he's oh such a sweet thing
He'll never, no never dream of leavin' me blue, oh no
He really loves m-me, & I know it's sincere & true, oh yeah
To keep us all on space, I'll do anything it takes
Any sacrifice to me I'll surely run & hurt
& he's oh such a sweet thing, he's oh such a sweet thing
Sunny thing, yeah
He's sweet to me like honey from a bee
The way he speaks of love is oh so heavenly
& he's oh such a sweet thing, he's oh such a sweet thing
He assures me of his love each & every day, my baby
There is no doubt in my mind of anything he say, oh no
Whenever I'm in need of good advice
He's always freely giving, I never have to ask twice
& he's oh such a sweet thing, he's oh such a sweet thing
My baby, such a sweet thing, yeah
Operator, operator
I'm so glad that you rang my phone
Operator, operator
I'm so glad that you found me home
I can hear my long gone lover
I've waited such a long, long time
So please, operator put him on the line
I want him on the line, I want him on the line
I wanna talk to that long gone lover of mine
Operator, operator, there is static in my line
Did he say that his love was true?
Did he say that his love was mine?
Did he say he was coming home?
Did he say where he has been?
I can't hear a word he's saying
If you keep buttin' in, you keep buttin' in
You keep buttin' in
I wanna know if he's comin' home again
It shouldn't take this much time
To clear my mind, ease my mind
Oh operator, please get straight
It's unfair to make me wait any longer
My curiosity is stronger don't you know
That it's wrong, oh so wrong
Operator, operator, this is very strange
What is the hold up here? Doesn't he have the change
Oh please operator, if he don't have another dime
Reverse the charge to me, put him on the line
I want him on the line, I want him on the line
I wanna talk to that long gone lover of mine
She may dress & she may pose
She may strut in her fancy clothes
But she don't love you
No she don't love you
No she don't love you like I do
Can't you see, can't you see that you are blind? Oh yeah
It's really me, it's really me; you should be mine
& I'm slowly but surely losing my mind
She may dress & she may pose
She may strut in her fancy clothes
But she don't know how to love you
She don't know how to love you
She don't know how to please you either, baby, like I do
You know it's true, you know it's true, you're just a fool, oh yeah
To throw away, to throw away a love that's true
But I'll carry on & I'll be around when she's gone
She may dress & she may pose
She may strut in all those fancy clothes
But she don't know how to love you
No she don't love you
She don't know how to love you like I do
(repeat & fade):
Oh you know she may
She may dress & she may pose
She may strut in her fancy clothes
But she don't love you
No she don't love you
Come on now, come-a come-a come-a
Come on now, come-a come-a come-a
Come to me, I love you only
Come to me, I'm so lonely
Come to me, I love you only, baby
Well, you said you'll be comin' whenever I need you
& you can bet I'm gonna please you
So come runnin', 'cause now I need you baby
Hey hey, you know I miss you baby
Well, come when the lights are burnin' low
I wanna hear you knock on my door
Tell me baby that you love me so
Love me, love me, love me till you care no more
Come to me, oh I miss you
Come to me, I wanna kiss you
Come to me, oh I miss you baby
Hey hey, you know I miss you baby
(instrumental)
(repeat previous verse)
You that I, I miss you baby
Come on, come on
Your conscience has got a hold on you, uh huh huh
You're thinkin' of things you used to do, un huh huh
Things that caused me pain, uh huh huh
Things you can't explain
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Ain't it the truth now, baby
You're hurting deep down inside, uh huh huh
You got a painful look that's in your eyes, yeah yeah yeah 'cause
You remember when, uh huh huh
I said 'You want me back again'
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Oh oh oh I know you need my love
Now that everyone has put you down
But that's the story of a love you always needed
When it ain't around
Now you think that you will get me back, uh huh huh
But don't you bet your life on that, no no no 'cause
You did me wrong before, uh huh huh
I don't want you no more
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Ain't it the truth now, baby
(Instrumental)
'Cause you did me wrong before, uh huh huh
I don't want you no more
Ain't it the truth now, baby
Ain't it the truth now, baby
I don't want you no more
So I don't need your love
(Repeat & fade):
Now ain't it the truth now, baby
To lose you would be like losing the air I breathe
Would be like losing the flowers in May
The light of the day
I don't think I could find my way if I should lose you
It would be like losing my very soul
You're the only one I'll ever hold dear to my heart
Please don't let us part
But baby, if you keep foolin' 'round with every girl in town
I'm gonna have to put you down
I'm gonna have to lose you before you make me lose my mind
I'm gonna have to leave you behind
I'm tired of you cheatin' & lyin'
I'm tired of bein' blue & cryin'
At first, you know, I had to choose you
But now I'm gonna have to lose you
(instrumental)
(repeat previous verse)
(repeat & fade):
I'm gonna have to lose you
We-e-ell, you know you took my heart & broke it apart
Why didn't I, baby, yeah yeah, didn't I know from the start?
You know you took my love, threw it away
Now you're gonna want my love today
Well, bye bye baby
Well I thought your love was oh so true
& you know me, baby, started lovin' you
You know you took my love, threw it away
Now you're gonna want my love today
Well, bye bye baby
Wo
(x2):
Your love was sweet as wine, any I know so
Don't come back runnin' or knockin' on my front door
Well you said that I was your only girl
& there was no other, yeah, in this whole wide world
You know you took my love, threw it away
Now you're gonna want my love today
Well, bye bye baby
Wo bye bye baby, don't you know oh
Bye bye baby, wo, don't need your love
Yeah yeah, I don't want you, baby
Bye bye baby, yeah, bye bye baby
