Emotion, perpetual emotion
Emotion, perpetual emotion
Emotion, perpetual emotion
Emotion, perpetual emotion
Oo, you got me going
I can't stop, I climb the highest mountain
To the top, I go through fire for you
Swim the ocean wild with this blind devotion
Mama say, mama say, there'll be days
You gonna meet someone and somehow
They are gonna take your heart and sail away
Set you in motion
Emotion, perpetual emotion
Emotion, perpetual emotion
Oo you do what you do, you do
Some kind of voodoo you
Call my name out low
And I come runnin' to you, you
Pull a string and set your puppet in motion
Love is the drug in your potion
So my love, I ask you to be kind
Though love is blind, my love, don't leave my love behind
These things you do, my love
You know they put me through
So please be true, my love
And I'll be true to you
I have lived and loved and I have learned that
Love can be so hot that love can burn
You give your love and love is not returned
The girl can't help it
The girl can't help it
If she walks by the men all stand engrossed
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If she winks an eye bread slices turn to toast
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
Yes, she's got a lot of what they call the most
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
The girl can't help it if she was born to please
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
And if she's got a figure made to squeeze
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
Oh, won't you kindly be aware the girl can't help it
(The girl can't help it)
She mesmerizes every mother's son
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
And if she smiles their steak becomes well done
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
She makes granpa feel like twenty one
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
Well, the girl can't help it if she was born to please
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
And if I go to her on bended knees
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
Oh, won't you kindly be aware
That I can't help it, I just can't help it
'Cause oh, I'm hopin' obviously
That someday the answer will be
The girl can't help it if she's in love with me
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
The girl can't help it
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
She walks by the men all stand in rows
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If she winks an eye bread slices turn to toast
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
Yes, she's got a lot of what they call the most
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
Well, the girl can't help it if she was born to please
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
And if she's got a figure made to squeeze
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
'Cause oh, I'm hopin' obviously
That someday the answer will be
The girl can't help it if she's in love with me
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
The girl can't help it
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
The girl can't help it
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
The girl can't help it
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who finds the money when you pay the rent?
Did you think that money was heaven sent?
Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creeping like a nun
Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlegs
See how they run
Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
Wonders how you manage to feed the rest
Pa, pa, pa
See how they run
Lady Madonna lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head
Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didn't come
Thursday night your stockings needed mending
See how they run
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Once was a time I thought
Love could be sold or bought
Everything fell in place for me
The fashion of passion I rationed with caution
Because of the notion the potion of passion
Had never been passed to me
But since it was Sunday and sunny I went for a stroll
The peanuts and pigeons and people put me in a hole
A blessing refreshing in you did unfold
Dispelling depressing distressing thoughts from my soul
Once was a time I thought
Love could be sold or bought
Everything fell in place for me
The fashion of passion I rationed with caution
Because of the notion the potion of passion
Had never been passed to me
Can't you see
No moon at all
What a night
Even lightning bugs have dimmed their light
Stars have disappeared from sight
And there's no moon at all
Don't make a sound
It's so dark
Even Fido is afraid to bark
What a perfect chance to park
And there's no moon at all
If you need atmosphere
For inspiration dear
One touch will make it clear
Tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere
No moon at all
Up above
This is nothing like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
When there's no moon at all
But since it was Sunday and sunny I went for a stroll
The peanuts and pigeons and people put me in a hole
A blessing refreshing in you did unfold
Dispelling depressing distressing thoughts from my soul
Once was a time I thought
Love could be sold or bought
Everything fell in place for me
The fashion the passion I rationed with caution
Because of the notion the potion of passion
Had never been passed to me
But now with you by my side
I find that I'm so satisfied
Somebody must have lied to me
Maybe if I pray every night
You will come back to me
Maybe if I try every day
You'll come back to stay
Oh maybe
Maybe, maybe, maybe
Oh, maybe if I hold your hand
You will understand
Maybe if I kiss your lips
I'll be at your command
Maybe
Maybe, maybe, maybe
I prayed and prayed
(Come back to me)
To the Lord
To send you back, my love
(Come back, my love)
I found instead
(Come back to me)
You'd come to me
Only in my dreams
Maybe if I pray every night
You'll come back to me, yeah baby
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe if I try every day
You'll come back to stay
Maybe
Maybe, maybe, maybe
Maybe if I pray every night
You will come back to me
Maybe if I try every day
You will come back to stay
Maybe
Maybe, maybe, maybe
Listen to my story every word is true
I'll tell you how we come together
It was fate, it was great, we didn't hesitate
We were all birds of a feather
Until we started somethin'
The party started jumpin'
Jumpin' to the joyful noise
Where we're coming from, we're born to run
Born to run like Nylons
Me and the boys, yeah me and the boys
Me and the boys, oh, me and the boys
Me and the boys, yeah me and the boys
Me and the boys, rock on boys yeah
Yeah, yeah, we get together, we make a little noise
The boys, the boys, the boys, the boys.....
Cookin' in the kitchen with my eyes on the stars
I wonder when I'm gonna get to heaven
Got a place to go to that is not too far
When I get off work at 11:00
Goin' up to the rooftop, can't stop, too hot
One of life's natural joys
Well me and the guys like to harmonize
Beneath the skies
Me and the boys, yeah boys
Yeah boys, yeah boys
Now I come from Carolina down Atlanta way
With a suitcase full of rhythm and blues
You know I love you baby but I just can't stay
Cause I got on my travellin' shoes
Well, I'm gonna do it now, try my best to settle down
But I never could endure
The straight and simple life, it never did seem right
And that's why I'm here tonight and I'm singin' with my
Boys, me and the boys, me and the boys, me and the boys
Me and the boys, me and the boys, me and the boys, me and the boys
Dance, well I can really dance
You ought to see me move across the floor, yeah
Romance, well I took a chance
I didn't know what I had bargained for
Heartbreaks heartaches I just couldn't take
**Stop treating me like a toy
When out of the blue they came to my rescue
Now all I want to do is just a doo-doo-wop
Me and the boys, me and the boys
Me and the boys, me and the boys, me and the boys
Do, do, do you wanna do it?
Do, do, do you wanna dance?
Do, do, do you wanna do it?
Do, do, do you wanna dance?
The book of love's got a brand new page
Latest sensation and it's all the rage

Extra extra, read all about it, love is headline news

Ai no, ai no, corrida
Ai no, ai no, corrida
I hold you, I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl, that's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel
So pinch me, I'm dreamin'
But if it is don't let me know
I'm drowning, don't save me
This is the way I want to go
You see girl, you thrill me, half kill me, that's what you do
Chorus:
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there, your dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought, just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Before I first saw you each day was just another day
Night the lonely interlude just came, then blew away
You know girl, everything was come what may until you fell in my life
This spell that I'm under has caught me in a daze
Your lightning and thunder sets my poor heart ablaze
You see girl, you thrill me, half kill me that's what you do
Chorus
Ai no, ai no, corrida
Ai no, ai no, corrida
Behold, the blue horizon line
We see Orion rising
The stars are ours
The stars are ours tonight
They sparkle and shine so bright
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
The moon that's up in the sky
Is shining for you and I
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
We've come a long way from Andromeda
We've got a long way to go, I know, I know
Interplanetary wanderers
Like comets around the sun we come and we go
The stars are ours tonight
They sparkle and shine so bright
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
The moon that's up in the sky
Is shining for you and I
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
Relax, the galaxies dance and spin
To the music of the spheres
No charted course for the space that we're in
The stars are ours tonight, to light the years
The stars are ours tonight
They sparkle and shine so bright
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
The moon that's up in the sky
Is shining for you and I
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
Behold the blue horizon line
We see Orion rising
She don't love you
You're just a stepping stone
You're just a stepping stone
She's one girl to leave alone
She don't love you
You're just a stepping stone
You're just a stepping stone
Believe me, you're better on your own
The love you think you see
Deep in her eyes is filled with misery
Her love's a lie she's just a woman
But before the main event
She may look like an angel
But she's far from heaven sent
(Beware)
You're just a decoy
(Take care)
To reel the bigger fish in
She'll treat you like a toy
She'll break you in the end
She's playing her own game
A game you can't win
You better, you better, you better
You better watch out boy
You better, you better, you better
You better watch out boy
She don't love you
You're just a stepping stone
You're just a stepping stone
She's one girl to leave alone
She don't love you
You're just a stepping stone
You're just a stepping stone
Believe me, you're better on your own
As soon as another guy catches her eye
You'll see what's lurking behind her disguise
She's an illusion she's not really real
In every neighborhood there is bad and good
Money's tight, prices overblown
They sell ecstasy here on avenue B
One way ticket to the combat zone
The streets are fast and tough and if you're tough enough
Chances are you can make it on your own
Life on overdrive, you could learn to survive
Livin' life in the combat zone
Keep your ear to the ground
Keep your shoulder to the wheel
Keep your finger on the pulse
And you can make it
Keep your eye on the dice
Keep your back to the wall
One step ahead of the game
And you can make it
Here is the place, now is the time
It's up to you
(Get ready now)
You better be on your guard
Sometimes you're blind, you carry on
(Business as usual)
How can we be so hard?
You can run away or, you can choose to stay
Either way, life can chill you to the bone
You know that golden rule, don't be nobody's fool
Play it cool, in the combat zone
Keep your ear to the ground
Keep your shoulder to the wheel
Keep your finger on the pulse
And you can make it
Keep your eye on the dice
Keep your back to the wall
One step ahead of the game
And you can make it
Watch what you say, watch what you do
It's up to you
(Get ready now)
They'll take you for a ride
Before you're bought and sold
Get it up, get it under control
(Get ready now)
There's nowhere you can hide
Keep your ear to the ground
Keep your shoulder to the wheel
Keep your finger on the pulse
And you can make it
Keep your eye on the dice
Keep your back to the wall
One step ahead of the game
And you can make it
Can't people understand there's a world at your command
Can't we trust one another?
What does it take to make you see
We share one destiny and nothing lasts forever
Higher, this could be the vision
That we've both been dreamin' of
Higher, and so much brighter
Oh, baby now let's get down tonight
Ooh baby, I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
Sexual healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual healing baby, is good for me
Sexual healing is something that's good for me
Whenever blue teardrops are fallin'
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby
And honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the thing you're dealing
Ohh I can tell you, darling, that it's sexual healing
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Let's make love tonight
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
'Cos you do it right
Baby, I got sick this mornin'
A sea was stormin' inside of me
Baby, I think I'm capsizin'
The waves are risin' and risin'
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
Sexual healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual healing, baby, it's good for me
Sexual healing is something that's good for me
Well, it's good for me and it's so good to me my baby, ohh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind, soon we'll be making it, honey
I'll be feeling fine, the way you heal me
The way you thrill me, keep me comin' to you
For you to sexually fulfill me
You're my medicine, open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great, I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate, baby
I can't wait for you to operate
And baby, when I should be asleep at night
I stay up and read
And baby, baby, baby, I can't help but feel uptight
For my passion needs
And when I get this feeling
I want sexual healing
When I get this feeling
I want sexual healing
Baby, I can't stand it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get this feeling
I need sexual healing
Ohh, when I get this feeling
I need sexual healing
I gotta have sexual healing, darling
'Cos I'm all alone
And I need sexual healing, darling
Till you come back home
Please don't procrastinate
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles will be miles away
Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow
Have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow
Ah, because the world is round, it turns me on
Because the world is round, ah
Because the wind is high, it blows my mind
Because the wind is high, ah
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Come they told me
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
A newborn King to see
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
To set before the King
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
Rup-a-pum-pum
Rup-a-pum-pum
So to honor Him
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
When we come
Little baby
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
I am a poor boy too
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
That's fit to give a king
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
Rup-a-pum-pum
Rup-a-pum-pum
Shall I play for You
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
On my drum
Mary nodded
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
I played my drum for Him
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
I played my best for Him
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
Rup-a-pum-pum
Rup-a-pum-pum
Then He smiled at me
Pa-rup-a-pum-pum
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the side
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Saviour is Born
Christ the Saviour is Born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord at Thy birth
On the edge of town
I will wait for you
Breaking up a lonely world
I'll be satisfied
Making up another world
With you at my side
On the edge of town
I will wait for you
Breaking up is what we do
We're hurting too much
Making up is what we do
When we're needing to touch
I got ties, so do you
But I can't help myself
Whenever I see you
Running to me with your burning love
Like a wildfire
I'm caught in the flame of your burning love
It grows higher and higher
Breaking up, you say goodbye
And shakin' your heart
Making up another lie
Can't keep us apart
I got ties, so do you
To somebody else
I got ties, so do you
But I can't help myself
Whenever I see you
[Unverified]
Ooh, how it burns me up
To my very soul
Ooh, I can't get enough
When it's burning out of control
What does christmas mean to me, is it more than just a christmas tree
And lights and fancy decorations or a time for celebration
What does christmas mean to me, fresh fallin' snow, a symphony
Or a newborn babe in bethlehem, three wise men beside the lamb
What does christmas mean, is it just a dream
Oh God I hope you hear my plea 'cause it means so much to me
Why did that star shine oh so bright and angels sing all through the night
What do they mean a saviour's born, what miracle happened on that morn
What does christmas mean, is it just a dream
Oh God I hope you hear my plea 'cause it means so much to me
(I'll tell you what it means to me, show you what it how it feels to see the light shine down on me)
Oh santa when you come to call, bring joy and blessings for us all
For the mystery of that birth, but most of all bring peace on earth
What does christmas mean, is it just a dream
Singing, singing, singing, singing, yeah
One more time, boy
When this whole world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb right up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Up on the roof
When I get home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from that hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise down in the street
At night, the stars put on a show for free
And only you can share it all with me
I keep telling you that right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof
And if this whole world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Up on the roof
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, babe, come on, baby, up on the roof
Come on, baby, come on, baby, up on the roof
Come on, baby, come on, baby, up on the roof
Come on, babe, come on, babe, up on the roof
It's the time of the season
When love runs high
In this time give it to me easy
And let me try with pleasured hands
To take you in the sun to promised lands
To show you everyone
It's the time of the season for loving
What's your name? Who's your daddy?
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken any time
To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving
What's your name? Who's your daddy?
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken any time
To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what I really want to know
So long, you don't know where I'm going
So long, you know you done me wrong
So long, 'cause I know I'm all gone
Goodbye, you need to tell me why
Goodbye, you always make me cry
Oh why, why you never satisfied?
Packing my bag and heading out
Don't know where or what about
Taking a long forgotten trip
Don't know why I let it slip
Well, the way the world is now
I don't want to start a row
Baby, you won't believe in love
Wrote you some letters
Oh, take care of yourself
I'll be checking in, oh later
So long, I'm all packed up and on my way
So long, you need me some old sunny day
So long, this time I'm goin', goin' to stay
Goodbye, bye-bye baby
I ain't gonna be comin' home
Don't you know I'm gone?
That boy took my love away
But he'll regret it some day
This boy wants you back again
That boy isn't good for you
Though he may want you too
This boy wants you back again
This boy would be happy just to love you
But oh my, that boy won't be happy
'Til he sees you cry
This boy wouldn't mind the pain
Would always feel the same
If this boy gets you back again
This boy, this boy
That boy won't be happy 'til he sees you cry
This boy wouldn?t mind the pain
Would always seem the same
If this boy gets you back again
It's not the glow you feel when snow appears
It's not the Christmas cards you've sent for years
Not the joyful sound when sleigh bells ring
Or the merry song, children sing
That little gift you send on Christmas Day
Will not bring back the friend you've turned away
So may I suggest the secret of Christmas
Is not the things you do at Christmas time
But the Christmas things you do all year through
That little gift you send on Christmas Day
Will not bring back the friend you've turned away
So may I suggest the secret of Christmas
Is not the things you do at Christmas time
My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day
My cherie amour, distant as the milky way
My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
In a cafe, or sometimes on a crowded street
I'd be near to you, but you never notice me
My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine
Maybe someday, you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only one my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

Man, that kind of man
Some people live to be the life of the party
Lampshade hat and they're away to the races
So many people loving so many lovers
Takin' everybody to some strangers place
Don't get me wrong I've had my share of affairs
I've had some hot nights singin' one night stands
But right up front I think it's only fair
To tell you I've got different plans
That's not the way I am, I'm not that kind of man
It's not that I am shy, I'm just not that kind of guy
So if you feel the same, you're tired of playing games
Then try to understand that I'm not that kind of man
Man, that kind of man
A lot of people take their loving too lightly
They change emotions like they're changing their clothes
They come alive and thrive on new lovers nightly
How they do it I don't know 'cause
That's not the way I am, I'm not that kind of man
It's not that I am shy, I'm just not that kind of guy
So if you feel the same, you're tired of playing games
Then try to understand that I'm not that kind of man
Man, that kind of man
If you see him standing on the edge of the action
You think he's only playing it cool
He's only looking for a little sweet satisfaction
I'm tired of being somebody's fool, oh yeah, yeah
So if you spot me on the fringe of the party
Holding up the walls with hot and hungry eyes
Don't be afraid to say hello to a stranger
You just might like your surprise
That's not the way I am, I'm not that kind of man
It's not that I am shy, I'm just not that kind of guy
So if you feel the same, you're tired of playing games
Then try to understand that I'm not that kind of man
Man, that kind of man, oh, no, no
That's not the way I am, I'm not that kind of man
It's not that I am shy, I'm just not that kind of guy
So if you feel the same, you're tired of playing games
Then try to understand that I'm not that kind of man
Man, that kind of man
That's not the way I am, I'm not that kind of man
I crashed in the jungle while trying to keep a date
With my little girl who was back in the states
I was stranded in the jungle, afraid, alone
Trying to figure a way to get a message back home
But how was I to know that the wreckage of my plane
Had been picked up and spotted and my girl in lover's lane
Meanwhile, back in the states
Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle, sad as he can be
So come on pretty baby, just you and me
Meanwhile, back in the jungle
The boys in the jungle had me on the run
When something heavy hit me like an atomic bomb
When I woke up and my head started to clear
I had a strange feeling I was cooking gear
I smelled something cooking and I looked to see
That's when I found out they was cookin' me
Ooga booga, lemme outta here!
Meanwhile, back in the states
Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle sad as he can be
So come on pretty baby just you and me
Meanwhile, back in the jungle
I jumped out of the pot, I finally got away
I was frantic, worried about what my baby would say
So I jumped in the ocean and started to swim
My chance of surviving was gettin' slim
So I thumbed down a whale that was headed my way
And I reached the states in about half a day
When I got to lover's lane I was almost dead
Heard him talkin' to my baby, and this is what he said
Baby, baby, the man's no good
Baby, baby, should have understood
You can trust me just as long as you please
So come back pretty baby where you used to be
Cause I love you (I love you, I love you, you're fine baby)
Cause I love you (so damn fine)
Cause I love you (I got a job; I have money too)
Cause I love you (did I show you my vehicle)
Cause I love you (I'll take you for a ride)
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
Mother will never understand
Why you had to leave
But the answers you seek
Will never be found at home
The love that you need
Will never be found at home
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Pushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
You were the one
That they'd talk about around town
As they put you down
And as hard as they would try
They'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them
Just to your soul
No, you never cried to them
Just to your soul
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy
Cry, boy, cry
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Took a walk and passed your house late last night
All the shades were pulled and drawn way down tight
From within the dim light cast two silhouettes on the shade
Oh what a lovely couple they made
Put his arms around your waist, held you tight
Kisses I could almost taste in the night
I wondered why I'm not the guy whose silhouette's on the shade
I couldn't hide those tears in my eyes
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes, oh
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes, oh
Lost control and rang your bell, I was sore
Let me in or else I'll beat down your door
When two strangers who had been two silhouettes on the shade
Said to my shock 'you're on the wrong block'
Ran down to your house with wings on my feet
Loved you like I'd never loved you my sweet
Vowed that you and I would be two silhouettes on the shade
All of our days two silhouettes on the shade
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes, oh
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes, oh
I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents beneath the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love, the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
It seems like the other day
That my baby went away
Went away 'cross the sea
Seems like a year ago
Since I watched my baby go
And then this letter came to me
It said that we were through
You found somebody new
Lemme think, lemme think, what can I do?
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no
Remember...
Walkin' in the sand
Walkin' hand in hand
The night was so exciting
Your smile was so inviting
Then you touched my cheek
With your fingertips
Softly, softly we meet with our lips
Whatever happened to
The love that we once knew
The love you swore would be true?
Whatever happened to
The life I gave to you?
What can I do with it now?
I can make it on my own
And if you phone, I won't be home
It's not so hard to live alone
Still my house is not a home
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no
Remember...
Rock 'n' roll lullaby
Rock 'n' roll lullaby
Well, she was just sixteen an hour ago
When I first came to be
So we grew up together
My mama, child and me
Well, the times were bad and she'd get scared
Whenever I would cry
She'd calm my fears and dry my tears
With a rock 'n' roll lullaby
She'd sing, "Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
It's gonna be alright"
She'd be singing like that sha, la, la, la, la, la
You'd better hold on tight
Sing it to me mama, oh, my mama dear, oh yeah
Sing it sweet and clear
Oh, mama let me hear that
Rock 'n' roll lullaby
Well, we made it through the lonely days
But Lord, the nights were long
We dreamed of brighter moments
When mama sang her song
But I can't recall the words at all
It don't make sense to try
But all I knew is lots of love came through
With that rock 'n' roll lullaby
And she'd sing, "Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright now"
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
You'd better hold on tight
I can hear you mama
Oh, my mama, it's gonna be alright
Nothing soothes my soul like the sound of a good old
Rock 'n' roll lullaby
Sing it sweet and clear
I ain't leavin' no stone unturned
Go to the end of the world little girl
Find you and bring you back home
I ain't leavin' no word unsaid
I'm gonna tell you how much I love you
Need you back in my bed
Now if you're down in baltimore
I'll be on the next train
With a suitcase full of memories
Can't we relive 'em again
My whole world is about you
It's just not happening without you
Loneliness is like a wall I can't climb over
Can't dig my way out from under all this
Unhappiness
Chorus
If you could find it in your heart
To give it one more try
I know I could convince you girl
There's no good in goodbye
Our love is lost but we can find it
If we could only get behind it
Maybe you have gone and found
Yourself somebody new
And maybe I should find somebody too
But till I hear it from you baby
Romance
I'll take romance if I can get it
Give me just one night, you won't regret it
This old world's not ready for me
'Cause I live inside of my fantasy
Romance
I'll take romance 'cause it's essential
It's the quintessential element
L O V E and I'm ready for me
'Cause I live inside of my fantasy
Romance, I know it sounds old-fashioned
But the fashion is a passion with me
By chance of falling in love
I love the feeling passionately
Cockeyed and half the way to heaven
Since she said she'd meet me at 11
This old world's not ready for me
'Cause I live inside of my fantasy
Well, well, well
'Cause I live inside of my fantasy
Romance, I know it sounds old-fashioned
But the fashion is a passion with me
By chance of falling in love
I love the feeling passionately
I'll take romance if I can get it
Give me just one night, you won't regret it
This old world's not ready for me
'Cause I live inside of my fantasy
Elizabeth Taylor did it
Oo wee, oh gee, oh well
To be in love is swell
Your love alone is worth the price
To make me feel like it's paradise
You make my life so tender and sweet now
I'm yours alone, like a slave at your feet
Oo wee, oh gee, oh my
I'll love you 'til the day I die
Your love and mine will show the whole world
Just how much one boy can love one girl
Oo wee, oh gee, oh well
To be in love is swell
Oo wee, oh gee, oh my
We all wanna be in a magic life
Move down the road to get somewhere
We all gotta pay and the cost is high
What's yours or mine no time to care
You, you should know
You gotta let it flow
Baby you can't win the fight
Nobody's wrong nobody's right
Nobody's wrong nobody's right
Baby that's the way it goes
And where it stops nobody knows
Nobody knows
I hold on to you with all my will
Until the winds of change begin
So don't let go on the edge of fear
The game will make you play to win
Baby you should know
You gotta let it flow
Baby you can't win the fight
Nobody's wrong nobody's right
Nobody's wrong nobody's right
Baby that's the way it goes
And where it stops nobody know
Nobody knows
You stop you're done
You're in the red zone
You're on the run
You can't go home
You should know
You gotta let it flow
Baby you can't win the fight
Nobody's wrong nobody's right
Nobody's wrong nobody's right
Baby that's the way it goes
And where it stops nobody knows
I've been around the world
Had my pick of any girl
I should be happy but I'm not I should be happy but i'm
Everybody knows my name
But it's just a crazy game
Oh, it's lonely at the top
Listen to the band they're playin' just for me
Look at all the people payin' just for
All the applause and all the praise
All the money I have made
Oh, it's lonely at the top
So take a tip from those who know
Livin' high can bring you low
You should be happy but you're not
Listen all you fools out there
Go on and love me, I don't care
Love Potion #9/Spooky
I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a shop down on 34th and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion #9
I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a shop down on 34th and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion #9
I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I'd been this way since 1956
She stretched out her palm and she made a magic sign
She said 'What you need boy is Love Potion #9'
She bent down, she turned around she gave me a wink
She said 'I'm gonna mix it up right here in the sink'
It smelled like turpentine and looked like Indian Ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion #9
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
She bent down, she turned around, she gave me a wink
She said 'I'm gonna mix it up right here in the sink'
It smelled like turpentine and looked like India Ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion #9
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Whenever I'm in times of trouble
Mama always come to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be, let it be
And in my hour of darkness, she is
Standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
You know I love you
I'll always love you
Even though the tears are fallin' from my eyes
I still remember, baby, when our love was so strong
So go on
Go ahead and kiss him
Go on and kiss him goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, woh goodbye
He doesn't love you the way that I love you
'Cause if he did he wouldn't go and break your heart
He's only flirtin', baby
But my love is so strong
So go on, go ahead and kiss him
Go on and kiss him goodbye
Naa naa naa, hey hey hey, goodbye
Naa naa naa, hey hey hey, goodbye
He's never near you to comfort and cheer you
Even though the tears are fallin', ooh, fallin' from your eyes
He might be thrillin', baby
But my love is ready and willin'
So go on, go ahead and kiss him
Go ahead and kiss him, go ahead and kiss him
Go on and kiss him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, woh, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, woh, goodbye, bye, bye
Naa naa naa, hey hey hey, goodbye
Naa naa naa, hey hey hey, goodbye
Naa naa naa, hey hey hey, goodbye
Naa naa naa, hey hey hey, goodbye, bye, bye
Naa naa naa, hey hey hey, goodbye
Life was so sure, love was so new
And I was so lost inside of me
But somehow you'd be right next to me
Just when I needed you
I had my dreams and you lived them too
And sometimes it got so hard to do
But you always be right there for me
Just when I needed you
So I know what it means to have everything you want
And I know what it means to lose it all
But I don't dare think what my life
Would be like without you
Now I'm so sure and love still feels new
And I'm no longer lost inside of me
Oh yeah, and guess who I find, right by my side
Just when I needed you, yeah yeah, just when I needed you
'Twas in the moon of wintertime, when all the birds had fled,
That mighty Gitchimanitou (sp?) sent angel choirs instead.
Before their light the stars grew dim,
And wandering hunters heard the hymn:
Chorus: "Jesus our King is born. Jesus is born.
In exchelsis deo."
'Twas in a lodge of broken bark the tender babe was found.
A ragged robe of rabbit skin had wrapped his beauty round.
The chiefs from far before him knelt
With gifts of fox and beaver pelt.
Chorus
Oh children of the forest free, oh sons of Manitou,
The Holy Child of earth and Heav'n is born this day for you.
Come kneel before ths radient boy who brings you beauty, peace, and joy.
Hey, girl, I want you to know
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go
Hey, girl, I tell you no lie
Something deep inside of me is going to die
If you say so long, if this is goodbye
Hey, girl, this can't be true
How am I supposed to exist without you?
Hey, girl, now don't put me on
What's gonna happen to me when you're gone?
How will I live? How can I go on? How can I go on?
My, my, hey, girl, now sit yourself down
I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground
And beg you, beg you to stay, don't go away
Hey, hey, girl, no, please don't go away
Hey, hey, hey, girl, no, no, please don't go away
My, my sweet girl, oh, I can't stand it, don't you go, no, no
No, no, no, you gotta believe in me, yeah, don't go away
Don't you go, don't you go, don't you go
I can't understand this feeling I get
When you roll your pretty eyes that way
But I thank my lucky stars I guess you still like what you see
My poor poor heart's got nowhere to go
You looked at me and that's all I know
Got my head in the clouds at the thought of you loving me
Take a walk with the angels they watch you go by
Any heavenly body would fall for a devil like you
Make it a new day, do it all night
When the music is playing and you're holding me tight
I don't need anything but you to make me feel free
When I'm under the power of your persuasive charms
I've got everything I need in your arms
I don't want nobody but you to be loving me
Take a walk with the angels they watch you go by, yeah
Any heavenly body would fall for a devil like you
No need to run, no need to roam
Move it over mama 'cause I found me a home
You've got what it takes to make life sweet as can be
Can't you see
I can't get enough of the way you keep loving me
Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly
Grown man cry
Chorus:
I won't ask you to stay
I can love you when you're far away
Please, don't stop to say goodbye
Unless you want to see a grown man cry
After the party's over
And after the smoke has cleared
Just take a look around
If there's anything you've left behind
It's safe with me, 'cause I will still be here
But I wonder if you know just what it is you wanna
Who you are, where you want to go, you know it's up
To you
Don't be afraid to let it go and leave it all behind
'cause I know it won't come back to me if it isn't
Really mine
Chorus
When the winter comes and you find yourself alone
Without your love
I can send my heart up to the sun and find you from
Above
Right now the only sky I see is a crazy shade of
Grey
But I know those clouds will disappear someday
Seems like you're always leaving; you're on the run
I'd count the times but I can't tell;no I just can't
My foolish heart goes on believing; you're the one
Well there's a light coming from the window
And it shines down on the street
There's some guys standing on the corner
Singin' that good old harmony
And the light coming from the window
Shines on a streetcorner symphony
Let 'em laugh, let 'em sing
Makin' that good old harmony
Chorus:
Soul to soul
Brother to brother
Acappella
Sounds good to me
(repeat>
I just want it understood
The boys brought boogey to the neighbourhood
And they're standing under the light
**? of the night
Singing that good old acappella
Sound that sounds so sweet
Light, let 'em sing
Makin' that good old harmony
Chorus
When I turn out the light
Say goodbye to another night
I'm gonna rest my weary head
Put my bones away to bed
I'm gonna get on my knees and pray to the lord
To give me just one more day
Oh lord, hear my plea
This music means so much to me
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
I know the way you see it
In denial and you won't believe it
You take the easy way
What good is up without the meaning?
I could never go for that
It's something I'd never do
What about you; could it be you
All caught up in the heat of the moment
Maybe baby, maybe you'll see
What you mean, mean to me
Someday, eventually
Since you went away
It's all I can do gettin' through the day
Told me to go with it, go with it baby
Now it don't matter what I do
Something is leading me back to you
I'm gonna go with it, go with it baby
It's not the way you planned it
All gone wrong and you just can't take it
You thought you had control
Of everything you were gettin' into
But things didn't go like that
When you ran into me
'cause that is when your love had a meaning
I never wanna give up the feeling
Chorus
Just go with it
Hear me father when I call thee
Keep me safe with thee tonight
Safe inside these walls of glory
Take me to your heart
Take me to your heart
Take me to your heart
Take me to your heart
Time after time
I tried to contact you
And time after time
I tried to be with you
But you won?t
Take me to your heart
Take me to your heart
Take me to your heart
Take me to your heart
When I?m alone
I think you?re near me
It?s good to pretend
That you are with me
Why don?t you?
Take me to your heart
Take me to your heart
Take me to your heart
