Sam Cooke [보컬]

Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up-a New York way
Where the people are so gay
Twistin' the night away-ay
Here they have a lot of fun
Puttin' trouble on the run
Man, you find the old and young
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evenin' clothes
How he got here, I don't know, but
Man, you oughta see him go
Twistin' the night away-ay
He's dancin' with the chick in slacks
She's a-movin' up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothin' like
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Let's twist a while!
Lean up, lean back
Lean up, lean back
Watusi, now fly, now twist
They're twistin' the night away
Here's a fella in bluejeans
Dancin' with a older Queen
Who's dolled up in-a diamond rings and
Twistin' the night away-ay
Man, you oughta see her go
Twistin' to the rock and roll
Here you find the young and old
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', man, everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin', they're twistin' the night away
One more time!
Lean up, lean back
Lean up, lean back
Watusi, now fly, now twist
They're twistin' the night away

Darling you send me
I know you send me
Darling you send me
Honest you do, honest you do
Honest you do, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You thrill me
I know you, you, you thrill me
Darling you, you, you, you thrill me
Honest you do

At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You, you, you, you send me
I know you send me
I know you send me
Honest you do

Whoa-oh-oh, whenever I'm with you
I know, I know, I know when I'm near you
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do, honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, I know-oh-oh-oh

I know, I know, I know, when you hold me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whenever you kiss me
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do

At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home

I know, I know, I know, you send me
I know you send me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, you you you you send me
Honest you do

All of my life, yes all of my life
I've waited, waited, waited for you
I dreamed and dreamed and thought and schemed
For someone, someone, someone like you
Now that you're here, please my dear
Don't ever, ever, ever go

All of my life, yes all of my life
I've dreamed and longed for you so
Once a voice whispered inside me:
Wait for someone who's true
Don't love another for love is forever
And no one else will do

Now that you're here, I'm happy my dear
I've waited, waited, waited, waited for you
All of my life, yes all of my life
I've dreamed and dreamed of you
I've waited for you all of my life

Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
You heard me sing a prayer
For someone I really care for

Then suddenly there appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
Then I heard somebody whisper:
?Please adore me!“ and when I looked
The moon had turned to gold

Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Come a rain storm put your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snow storm you can get a little heat
Comes love nothing can be done
Comes a fire then you know just what to do
Blow a tire You can buy another shoe
Comes love nothing can be done
Don’t try hidin?
'Cause there isn’t any use
You’ll start slidin?
When your heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache see the dentist right away
Comes love nothing can be done!

Comes a heat wave you can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons you can hide behind the door
Comes love Nothing can be done
Comes the measles you can quarantine the room
Comes a mousie you can chase it with a broom
Comes love nothing can be done
That’s all brother
If you’ve ever been in love
That’s all brother
You know what I’m speaking of!
Comes a nightmare you can always stay awake
Comes depression you may get another break
Comes love nothing can be done!

I say I'll move the mountains
And I'll move the mountains
If she wants them out of the way
Crazy she calls me
Sure I'm crazy
Crazy in love I say

I say I'll go through fire
And I'll go through fire
As she wants it so it shall be
Crazy she calls me
Sure I'm crazy
Crazy in love you see

Like the winds shakes the bows
She moves me with a smile
The difficult I'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say I care forever and I care forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy she calls me
Sure I'm cracy
Crazy in love am I

(background singers)
I say I care forever and I'll care forever
If I have to hold up the sky

Crazy she calls me
Sure I'm cracy
Crazy in love am I

God bless the child, the child that's got his own
Them that's got shall get
them that's not you lose
So the bible says and it still is news
mama may have, papa may have
but God bless the child that got it's own
God bless the child that got it's own

Yes, the strong gets more
while the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
mama may have, papa may have
but God bless the child that got it's own
God bless the child that got it's own

When you've got money
you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When it's gone spending ends
They don't come no more
Which relations give, crust of bread and such
You can help yourself but don't take too much

mama may have, papa may have
but God bless the child that got it's own
God bless the child that got it's own

I cover the waterfont
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me

I cover the waterfront
I search of my love
And I’m guided by the starlit sky above

Here am I, patiently waiting
Hoping and longing O, how I yearn
Where are you, are you forgetting
Do you remember, will you return

I cover the waterfont
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me

I cover the waterfont
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me

I cover the waterfront
I search of my love
And I’m guided by the starlit sky above

Here am I, patiently waiting
Hoping and longing O, how I yearn
Where are you, are you forgetting
Do you remember, will you return

I cover the waterfont
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me

Here am I, patiently waiting
Hoping and longing O, how I yearn
Where are you, are you forgetting
Do you remember, will you return

I cover the waterfront

I don't know why
but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something
I've never had
Never had no kissin', o
what I've been missing
Lover girl, o where can you be

The night is cold
and I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul
just to call my own
got a moon above me
but no one to love
Lover girl, o where can you be

I've heard it said
that the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a pruger?
that you make love to me
Strange as it seems
someday we'll meet
and you dry all my tears
then whisper sweet little things in my ear
Hugging and kissing
oh what we've been missing
Lover girl, o where can you be
Lover girl, o where can you be

The night is like a lovely tune
beware my foolish heart
How wise the ever constant moon
take care my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
that's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
when you're lost in the magic of a kiss
her lips are much too close to mine
beware my foolish heart
But should her eager lips meet mine
then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Nor a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
my foolish heart

I never cared for simple things like love
June and old place
may face was terribly blank
Two things concerning l'amour
I'm really, really not for sure

For I'm not the guy who kid about love
For I'm not the guy who kid about fortunes and such
Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now
I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now

I'm a new man, better than Cassanova at his best
With a new heart a brand new start
I'm so proud I'm busting my best
So I'm a guy who turned out a lover
So I'm guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now

I'm a new man, better than Cassanova at his best
With a new heart a brand new start
I'm so proud I'm busting my best
So I'm a guy who turned out a lover
So I'm guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now

Not much to look at, nothing to see
I'm glad I'm living, and I'm lucky to be
But I got a woman crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way

ain't got a dollar, can't save a cent
She never holler, she'd live in a tent
I've got that woman mad about me
She's funny that way

Though she loves to work and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better off if I went away

But why should I leave her?, Why should I go?
She'd be unhappy without me I know
I've got that woman crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way

I've got that woman mad about me

she's funny that way

In my solitude you haunt me
with memories of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
with memories that never die
I sit in my chair, I feel despair
No one can be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad
In my solitude I pray
dear Lord above send back my love

In a quaint caravan there's a lady they call the gypsy
She can look in the future and drive away all your fears
Everyone of your fears
Everyting will come right if you'll omly believe the gypsy
She could tell at a glance that my heart was so full of tears

She looked in my hand and told me my love was always true
But yet in my hearts I knew dear somebody else was kissing you
But I'll go there again caise I want to believe the gypsy
That my lover is true and will come back to me someday

She looked in my hand and told me my love was always true
But yet in my hearts I knew dear somebody else was kissing you
But I'll go there again caise I want to believe the gypsy
That my lover is true and will come back to me someday

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
They can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off-key
The way your haunt my dreams
They can't take that away from me

We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep the memory of
But I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we dance 'til three
The way you changed my life
No, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me

Without a warning
the blues walked in this morning
And circled round my lonely room
I didn't know why I had
that sad and lonely feeling
'till my baby called and said it's through
Yesterday I sang a love song
but today I sing the blues

I know the explanation
but that's no constellation
No matter how your love
you can lose
and since I lost
I rather walk around and worry
I guess I've walked the darkest avenue

Yesterday I sang a love song
but today I sing the blues
Now it strikes me kind of funny
how life can be this way
We were lovers last night honey
but not in love today
Now it strikes me kind of funny
how faith can be unfair
it seems that I'm the one
to lose in every love affair
Yes it must be written for me
That I should be the one to always lose
Yesterday I sang a love song
but today I sing the blues

Now it strikes me kind of funny
how life can be this way
We were lovers last night honey
but not in love today
Now it strikes me kind of funny
how faith can be unfair
it seems that I'm the one
to lose in every love affair
Yes it must be written for me
That I should be the one to always lose
Yesterday I sang a love song
but today I sing the blues

When I fall in love It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun,
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
When I give my heart It will be completely,
Or I'll never give my heart,
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you.

When I fall in love It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun,
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
When I give my heart It will be completely,
Or I'll never give my heart,
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you.

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh-oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)

I know I laughed when you left
But now I know I only hurt myself
Oh-oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)

I'll give you jewellery and money, too
That ain't all, that ain't all I'll do for you
Oh, if you bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)

You know I'll always be your slave
'Til I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh honey, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)

One more thing
I tried to treat you right
But you stayed out, stayed out at night
But I forgive you, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)...

(Hoh! Ah!) I hear something saying (Hoh! Ah!)

(Hoh! Ah!)(Well don't you know)
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, ga-ang
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, gang

All day long they're singing (Hoh! Ah!)

(Well don't you know)
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, ga-ang
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, gang

All day long they work so hard till the sun is going down
Working on the highways and byways and wearing, wearing a frown
You hear they moaning their lives away
Then you hear somebody say

That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, ga-ang
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, gang

Can't you hear them singing, mmm (Hoh! Ah!)
I'm going home one of these days
I'm going home, see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I gotta work right here

(Well don't you know)
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, ga-ang
That's the sound of the men,
Working on the chain, gang

All day long they're singing, mmm (Hoh! Ah!)
My work is so hard
Give me water
I'm thirsty, my work is so hard
Woah ooo
My work is so hard

Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, for me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now, I don't mean to bother you
But I'm in distress
There's danger of me losing all of my happiness
For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist
And this you can fix

So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

I promise I wll love her until eternity
I know between the two of us her heart we can steal
Help me if you will

So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now, Cupid
Don't you hear me
Calling you?
I need you
Cupid
Help me
I need you
Cupid
Don't fail

Feel it, feel it

Baby when the band is playing and that solid beat
O, make you wanna move, make you wanna groove
make you wanna pat your feet
Don't fight it, don't fight, feel it

No, now when we dance close together
with your cheeck close to mine
and you begin to feel, a funny little thrill
moving up your spine
Don't fight it, don't fight, feel it

Baby, when the swinging music, makes you wanna flip
Don't be in pain, trying to restrain
go ahead and move your hips

Baby when you're dancing near me
and I feel I wanna tease
And when I do, the feeling gets you
when you feel you wanna squeeze
Don't fight it, don't fight, feel it
feel it (many times)

Baby, when the swinging music, makes you wanna flip
Don't be in pain, trying to restrain
go ahead and move your hips
Baby when you're dancing near me
and I feel I wanna tease
And when I do, the feeling gets you
when you feel you wanna squeeze
Don't fight it, don't fight, feel it

We're having a party

So listen, Mr. DJ

If I go, a million miles away
I'd write a letter, each and everyday
'Cause honey nothing, nothing can ever change this love I have for you

Mmmmmm, make me weep
And you can make me cry
See me coming
And you can pass me by
But honey, nothing, nothing can ever change this love I have for you

Wo-oh-oh, you're the apple of my eye, you're cherry pie
And oh you're, 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

But if you wanted, to leave me and roam
When you got back, I'd just say welcome home
'Cause honey nothing, nothing, nothing can ever change this, love I have, for you
Wo-oh-oh-oh...

(Musical Interlude)

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know that nothing, nothing, nothing can ever
Change the love I have for you.

Somebody have mercy and tell me what is wrong with me
Somebody have mercy and tell me what is wrong with me
Sometimes I don't know how I stand the things this woman do to me

Let me tell you
When I think about how she do me
The tears fall down like rain, like rain
When I think about how she do me
The tears fall down like rain, like rain
When I think i've got her chained down
She starts actin' up again

Oh let me tell you
I'm goin' down to the bus station
With a suitcase in my hand, yes I am
I'm goin' down to the bus station
With a suitcase in my hand, yes I am
I'm gonna grab me an armful of greyhound
And ride just as close I can
Do that thing for me now

Somebody have mercy I wonder what is wrong with me, lord have mercy
Somebody have mercy I wonder what is wrong with me, yeah

I'm a little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for day
I'm a little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for day
Keep everything in the barnyard,
Upset in every way

Dogs begin to bark now,
And the hounds begin to howl
Dogs begin to bark now,
And the hounds begin to howl
Watch out stray cat,
The little red rooster's on the prowl

If you see the little red rooster
Won't you please drive him home
If you see the little red rooster
Won't you please drive him home
Been no peace in the barnyard
Since that little red rooster's been gone

I'm a little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for day
I'm a little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for day
Keep everything in the barnyard,
Upset in every way

But honey, nothing, nothing can ever change this love I have for you

Wo-oh-oh, you're the apple of my eye, you're cherry pie
And oh you're, 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

But if you wanted, to leave me and roam
When you got back, I'd just say welcome home
'Cause honey nothing, nothing, nothing can ever change this, love I have, for you
Wo-oh-oh-oh...

(Musical Interlude)

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know that nothing, nothing, nothing can ever
Change the love I have for you.

She was only sixteen, only sixteen.
I loved her so,
but she was too young to fall in love
and I was too young to know.
We'd laugh and we'd sing and do the little things
that made my heart glow,
but she was too young to fall in love
and I was too young to know.
Why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again,
but I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year sinve then.
She was only sixteen, only sixteen,
with eyes that would glow,
but she was too young to fall in love
and I was too young to know.
Then why did you give your heart so fast.
Oh, it never will happen agiain
but I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year sinve then.
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
with eyes that would glow,
but she was too young to fall in love
and I was too young to know.
But shw was too young to fall in love
and I was too young to know.

Send me some lovin'
Oh send it I pray
How can I love you
When you're far away?

Send me your picture
Send it my dear
So I can hold it
Pretend you are here

Can you send me your kisses?
I still feel their touch
I need you so badly
I miss you so much

My days are so lonely
My nights are so blue
I'm here and I'm lonely
I'm waitin' for you

Shake!
Shake!
Shake!
Shake!

Listen

Listen while I talk to you
I tell you what we're gonna do
There's a new thing that's going around
And I'll tell you what they're puttin' down

Just move your body all around
And just shake
Oh, mamma
Shake
Thats the way to do it
Shake
Oh, you're looking good now
Shake
Yeah, ha

Shake it like a bowl of soup
And make your body loop de loop
Put your hands on your hips
And kinda let your backbone slip
Move your body like a whip
And just shake!

Umm, that's doing it
Shake
Yeah, you're looking good now
Shake
Go on, do it baby
Shake
Yeah, Ohh

A ring-a-ling-a-ling
Honey, shakin' is the latest thing
And if you wanna swing
Just loosen up them shoulders

And if you wanna really roll
You got to do the thing with soul
Shake the shake with all your might
Oh, if you do it, do it right
Just make your body loose and light
And kinda shake
Oh, honey

Shake
Hoooo
Shake
Oh, that's the way to do it
Shake
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-yeah

Alright

Oh, you're doing it now honey

C'mon, loosen up them shoulders

Got to do the thing with soul
Shake the shake with all your might
Now, if you do it, do it right
Make your body loose and light
And just shake

Oh, I like to do it
Shake
Make me feel good now
Shake
All gone baby
Shake
Don't be shy now
Shake
Dance, with you mama
Shake
Don't, do it baby

Summertime
and the living is easy.
Fish are jumping
And the cotton is high

Your daddy’s rich
And your ma is so good-looking

so Hush, little baby
Don’t you cry!
Um,um,um

One of these mornings
You’re gonna rise up singing,
then you spread your wings,
and take to the sky,

But until that morning
there is nothing’s can harm you,
no,no,no,
Daddy & mammy standing by
Um, Um,Um,Um

Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up-a New York way
Where the people are so gay
Twistin' the night away-ay
Here they have a lot of fun
Puttin' trouble on the run
Man, you find the old and young
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evenin' clothes
How he got here, I don't know, but
Man, you oughta see him go
Twistin' the night away-ay
He's dancin' with the chick in slacks
She's a-movin' up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothin' like
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Let's twist a while!
Lean up, lean back
Lean up, lean back
Watusi, now fly, now twist
They're twistin' the night away
Here's a fella in bluejeans
Dancin' with a older Queen
Who's dolled up in-a diamond rings and
Twistin' the night away-ay
Man, you oughta see her go
Twistin' to the rock and roll
Here you find the young and old
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', man, everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin', they're twistin' the night away
One more time!
Lean up, lean back
Lean up, lean back
Watusi, now fly, now twist
They're twistin' the night away

A fish was made to swim in the ocean
A boat was made to sale on the sea
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me
You were made for me.
A grape was made to grow on a vine
An apple was made to grow on a tree
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me

We'll have our quarrels and you will upset me
But what can I do?
You've been mine ever since I met you and I'll never leave you
No I'll never leave you
As sure as there’s a heaven up above me,
From you I know I'll never be free.
As sure as there are stars above,

Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause i just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

I got in town a month ago, I seen a lotta girls since then
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em but as yet I haven't met 'em
That's why I'm in the shape I'm in

Here another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Another fella told me he had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of being my deliverance, she had a strange resemblance
to a cat named Frankenstein

Here's another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
How I wish I had some chick to talk to
I'm in an awful way

(Here it is another weekend and I ain't got nobody
Man if I was back home I'd be swinging
Two chicks on my arm
Aww yeah
Listen to me huh)

It's hard on a fella, when he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey to help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town

Here it's another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
How I wish I had some chick to talk to
I'm in an awful way

(chorus to fade)

Baby won't you please come home
Cause your bed is alone
I have tried so hard in vain
Nevermore to call your name
When you left, you broke my heart
Oh darling, why do have to part
Every hour in the day you can hear me say
Baby, won't you please come home

I mean, baby, won't you please come home
Cause your dad is so alone
I tried so hard in vain
Nevernomore to call you name
Now when you left me, you just broke my heart
Why did we have to part
Every hour in the day people way across the street
If you loved me, you better come home

Baby, baby, baby
You got me cryin' in my sleep
Baby, baby, baby
You got me cryin' in my sleep
Oh you let the other fellas
Steal your love away from me

Baby, baby, baby

Baby, baby, baby

Oh you got me so unhappy
And honey you're the one to blame

Let me tell ya 'bout it

I gave you time
I gave you love
I thought we went together like a hand in glove
You took my love
You took my time
And now you make me think you're tryin' to take my mind

Baby, baby, baby
Why don't you stop your evil ways?
Oh you're makin' me unhappy
You've got me cryin' night and day

Let me tell the story

I try to go
To sleep at night
But all I do is toss and turn till broad daylight
My pillow's wet
From cryin' tears
I feel a little better when your picture's near

Baby, baby, baby
I've got your picture in my arms
Oh, I'm givin' it my kisses
And my love until you come
But meanwhile

Baby, baby, baby
You got me cryin' in my sleep
Baby, baby, baby

Steal your love away from me

Come a rain storm put your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snow storm you can get a little heat
Comes love nothing can be done
Comes a fire then you know just what to do
Blow a tire You can buy another shoe
Comes love nothing can be done
Don’t try hidin?
'Cause there isn’t any use
You’ll start slidin?
When your heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache see the dentist right away
Comes love nothing can be done!

Comes a heat wave you can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons you can hide behind the door
Comes love Nothing can be done
Comes the measles you can quarantine the room
Comes a mousie you can chase it with a broom
Comes love nothing can be done
That’s all brother
If you’ve ever been in love
That’s all brother
You know what I’m speaking of!
Comes a nightmare you can always stay awake
Comes depression you may get another break
Comes love nothing can be done!

Crazy in love am I

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well you can cry me a river
Cry me a river

You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was true, too plebeian being
Told me you were through with me and

And now you say you love me
Well just prove you do
Come and cry me a river
Cry cry me a river
Cause I cried a river over you

Come on and cry me a river
Cry cry me a river

Don´t cry on my shoulder
For somebody else
While I´m dancing this dance with you
O, don´t cry on my shoulder
About someone you knew
I told you I am in love with you

You try to tell me that
You love me yet
How come while were dancing
Our eyes never met

Don´t cry on my shoulder
For somebody else
While I´m dancing this dance with you

And oh pretty baby
Don´t cry on my shoulder
For somebody else
While I´m dancing this twist with you

And oh, pretty baby
O, don´t cry on my shoulder
About someone you knew
I told you I am in love
At least I mean to tell you I am on love with you

Ah, you try to tell me that
You love me yet
How come while were dancing
Our eyes never met

Don´t cry on my shoulder
For somebody else
While I´m dancing this dance with you

Do that thing one more time

Missed the saturday dance
I heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore

Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
I don't get around much anymore

Darling I guess, my mind is more at ease
But nevertheless why stir up old memories

Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
I don't get around much anymore

O, I miss that saturday dance
But I heared they flooded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore

So I thought I'd visit the club
But I only got as far as the door
Someone will have asked me about you
I don't get around much anymore

Darling I guess, my mind is more at ease
But nevertheless why stir up old memories

Been invited on dates
might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
I don't get around much anymore

I'm driftin'
I'm driftin'
Like a ship out on the sea
I'm driftin'
I'm driftin'
I'm driftin'
Like a ship out on the sea
No, I ain't got nobody
In the world to care for me

If my baby would only take me back again, back again
If my baby would only take me back again, back again

I know I'm a good for nothing
And I haven't got no friends
Listen to me, honey
I gave you all my money
Tell me tell me tell me tell me
What more can I do
Didn't I give tou all my money?
Now tell me what more can I do!
I'll realize you're a good little girl
But it seems that you won't be true

Seems like I got to tell you
Baby, bye bye
Bye bye, baby
Listen to me
I know you gonna miss me
This time you gonna be
The one to cry

Everybody loves to cha cha cha
Little children loves to cha cha cha
They like to cha cha cha
They like to cha cha cha
Everybody loves to cha cha cha

I took my baby to the hop last night
And much to my surprise
When we got there she hit me with the news
Right between the eyes

Well, she said she could't do the cha cha cha
She said she couldn't do the cha cha cha
She couldn't cha cha cha
She couldn't cha cha cha
My baby couldn't do the cha cha cha

I told her not to worry
They'll play some other dance
But we sat there for an hour and a half
And we never got the chance

'Cause, every song they played was the cha cha cha
Every song that played was the cha cha cha
It was the cha cha cha
It was the cha cha cha
Every number was the cha cha cha

I told her not to worry
Theres only one thing we can do
Baby if you'll let me take you by the hand
I'm going to teach this dance to you

And then I taught her one, two cha cha cha
Three, four cha cha cha
And up now cha cha cha
Back now cha cha cha
Turn now cha cha cha
Back now cha cha cha
I taught my baby how to cha cha cha

We kept on dancing
And was I surprised, for you see
After we practiced for a little while
She was doing it better than me

Now, my baby loves to do the cha cha cha
She loves to do the cha cha cha
She loves to cha cha cha
She loves to cha cha cha
My baby loves to do the cha cha cha

Now here we go one, two cha cha cha
Three, four cha cha cha...

I know why I waited
know why I've been blue
I've been praying for someone, baby
exactly like you
why should we spend money, on a show or two
while no one does those love scenes, baby
exactly like you

you make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
you seem to understand
each foolish little dream I'm dreaming
and the schemes I'm scheming

now I know why mother taught me to be true
she meant me for someone, baby
exactly like you

just like you, baby, oh
just like you
mother meant me for someone exactly like you

I know why I waited
know why I been blue
I've been waiting for someone, baby
exactly like you
why should we spend money on a show or two
while no one does those love scenes, baby
exactly like you

you make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
you seem to understand
each foolish little dream I'm dreaming
and the schemes I'm scheming
now I know why mother taught me to be true
she meant me for someone
exactly like you

just like you, baby, just like you
mother meant me for someone exactly like you
just like you, baby, pretty just like you
mother meant me for someone exactly like you

I often think off the life 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

Oh yeah, living in a fool's paradise

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart

I love you
And you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part

I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling, I'm never lonely
Whenever you are in sight

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart

Oh, at last I've awaken
To see what you've done
What can I do
But pack up and run

Now, I know the rules
Get yourself another fool

You said that you love me
I was yours to command
But your kind of love
My heart couldn't stand

Use me for a tool
Get yourself another fool

And now, now that we're through
You say you meant to be true
Oh, but deep down in your heart I know
That our love could never grow

I tried to believe you
That we'd never part
But your kind of love
Broke my poor heart

No I know the rules
Get yourself another fool

Get yourself another fool

Hold on just a little bit longer

But I say

Hold on just a little bit longer

and let your love be stronger

His arms, oh his arms may be so tempting

cause I'll be coming back to you

Oh, hold on pretty baby,

Baby, like I, like I did before
Now forgive me, darling, I was wrong
For with you baby I belong
I won't cheat on you no more

I ain't gonna cheat on you no more
Baby, please don't walk out that door
Now drop those bags and say you'll stay
I love you baby 'til my dying day
I won't cheat on you no more

I know the grass ain't greener on the other side
The cat that told me that he's your light
When I was 'cross the street with his Jezebel
He was over here just ringing your bell

I won't cheat on you no more
Baby, like I, like I done before
Now I'll be faithful and I'll be true
Do anything that you want me to
I won't cheat on you no more

I ain't gonna cheat on you baby
I'll be faithful and true, do anything you want me to
I ain't gonna cheat on you no more, uh uh, oh yeah

I found out the grass ain't greener on the other side
The cat that told me that he's your light
When I was 'cross the street with his Jezebel
He was over here just ringing your bell

I won't cheat on you no more
Baby, please don't walk out that door
Don't you know that I'll be faithful and I'll be true
Do anything that you want me to
I won't cheat on you no more

I belong to your heart
you alone can possess me
no one else can caress me
I belong to your heart

I belong to your heart
with devotion unseen
every part of my being
is a part of your heart

and when you reach out for me
your two arms are a magnet
and I'm caught in the dragent
oh but who wants to be free
and when you kiss me I know
that for now and all time
I just have to be yours my love
you just have to be mine

I belong to your heart
like the sun to the day
like the stars to the night
I belong to your heart
as I kneel at your throne
say you love me alone
let me hear from your heart my love
that I belong

Baby please don't you drive me away
Baby please don't you drive me away
Now, you know I need you, want you by my side
My love for you I'll never hide
Now if you love you will hear my plea
Put me out and that's the end of me
Baby please don't you drive me away

One more thing honey
You know I want you, I love you so
I never, never, never, never, never let you go
Baby, please don't you drive me away, oh yeah

Oh please, please don't you drive me away
Don't you hear me telling you?
Don't drive me away

Let me tell you
You know I need you, want you by my side
My love for you I'll never hide

Won't you love me, won't you hear my plea?
Put me out and that's the end of me
Baby please don't you drive me away

I wish you bluebirds in the spring
to give your heart a son to sing.
And then a kiss oh but more than this,
I wish you love.

And in July a lemonade to cool you in some leafy glade.
I wish you health oh and more than wealth. I wish you love.
My breaking heart and I agree that you and I will never be.
So with my best my very best I am ‘ setn’ you free
Oh honey.

I wish you shelter from the storm.
A cozy fire to keep you worm.
Oh but most of all I wish you love.
But most of all when snowflakes fall I wish you love.
But most of all when snowflakes fall I wish you love.

I didn't sleep a wink all night long
Waitin' by my telephone
You said you'd call me 'bout a quarter to ten
But you went and stood me up again

I don't know what you're gonna do, but
I'm gonna forget about you, yeah

I'm gonna take your picture off my wall
And then I'm goin' out and have a ball
Too many fishes in the deep blue sea
For me to let you make a fool of me

I don't know what you're gonna do, but
I'm gonna forget about you

Please don't tell me that you're sorry
Don't give me the same old line
I know for a fact if I took you back
You'd make me lose my mind, baby

And if I lost it, it would be my fault
So I think it's time we called a halt
I've had as much of you as I can stand
Instead of me mistreat some other man

I don't know what you're gonna do, but
I'm gonna forget about you

Baby, I'm gonna take your picture off my wall
Then I'm goin' out and have a ball
Too many fishes in the deep blue sea
For me to let you make a fool of me

I don't know what you're gonna do, but
I'm gonna forget about you

Yeah, forget about you baby
I'm gonna forget about you
I'm gonna forget about you, baby
I'm gonna forget about you

as I walk down the street
everyone that I meet
gives me a friendly hello
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so

the birds in every tree
they are so neighborly
they sing wherever I go
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so

but if you ask the amount
in my bank account
I'll have to admit I'm kinda slipping
but that don't bother me
'cause confidentialy

and when the day is through
each night I hurry to
home where my love waits, I know
I guess I'm, I gotta be a lucky so and so

but if you ask the amount

Believe me when I say it's alright
Long as I know, long as I know that you love me

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'
To take my mind off you

You left me for a new love
You found out it wasn't a true love
Now that he is gone
Lets go steady one more time

Please don't cry
You've got to be strong, dear
I know he was wrong, dear
But now that he's gone

I know he was wrong to come to the dance
With another girl, the way that he did
I knew he was wrong when he took your love from me
After all, he was once my best friend

Thats all in the past
Let's forget you
He'll never hurt you
I won't let him
Now that he's gone
Let's go steady one more time

Yes he was wrong to come to the dance
With another girl, the way that he did
I knew he was wrong when he took your love from me
After all, he was once my best friend

Thats all in the past
Let's forget him
He'll never hurt you
I won't let him
Now that he's gone
Let's go steady one more time

Little girl
You're the one girl for me
Little girl
You're as sweet as can be

Just a glance at you meant
Love from the start
And oh, what a thrill came
Into my heart

Little girl
With your cute little ways
I am yours
For the rest of my days

And this great big world
Will be divine
Little girl
When you are mine, oh mine, yeah

And this great big world
Will be divine
Little girl
When you're mine, oh mine

I'm a little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for day
I'm a little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for day
Keep everything in the barnyard,
Upset in every way

Dogs begin to bark now,
And the hounds begin to howl
Dogs begin to bark now,
And the hounds begin to howl
Watch out stray cat,
The little red rooster's on the prowl

If you see the little red rooster
Won't you please drive him home
If you see the little red rooster
Won't you please drive him home
Been no peace in the barnyard
Since that little red rooster's been gone

I'm a little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for day
I'm a little red rooster,
Too lazy to crow for day
Keep everything in the barnyard,
Upset in every way

Love without devotion
can never be true
You can show emotion
in the little things you do
Words when kindly spoken
can make dreams seem true
But more than words can say
are the little things you do
(the little things you do)

A tender touch can mean so much
A card, a letter when away
Each little smile is so worthwhile
to show affection each day
Love can be so tender and always be true
But love must have assurance
by those little things you do
(Love must have assurance and you can make it true)
By the little tings you do

I live on a lonely island in the heart of the city
I live on a lonely island there isn't any hope for me
I tell you my heart is broken, it's a shame have pity
I might as well be shipwrecked in the middle of the sea

Nobody will believe me
Nobody seems to care
How lonely, how lonely can you be
I walk around the city
My heart sends out a flare
Baby, baby, baby won't you rescue me

I'm lost and lookin' for my baby
Wonder why my baby can't be found
I'm lost and lookin' for my baby
Lord knows my baby ain't around

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

Crying for my baby, crying all alone
I'm lost and a-calling for my baby
Baby won't you please come home
I'm lost and a-calling for my baby
I need you 'cause I'm so alone

Love me for I need someone to hold me tight
For I feel so lonely tonight
All I ask is that you, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me, oh

Till I hear a thousand drums roar
I ask for this and nothing more
All I ask is that you, love me, love me
Oh, I need someone to love me

Oh, love me when I'm sad
Love me when I'm lonely
Love me when I'm glad
And love me only just love me, oh

Till we make time stand still
Till our hearts beat as one and they will

Beat as one if you'll just love me, love me
Oh, I need someone to love me, love me
I need someone to love me, love me, love me, love me
