Lyrics

I've had so much help from you all, and I thank you for that. I probably won't be adding any more lyrics to this page - there's a lot here! If you don't see it, I don't have it. Please don't email me asking for it. I lost some of the credits here, so I apologize if you don't see your name beside a song you sent me.

If you're looking for a lyric that isn't on this page, try here.


It's Not Unusual

It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
but when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry, oh I wanna' die

It's not unusual to go out at any time
but when I see you out and about it's such a crime
if you should ever want to be loved by anyone, It's not unusual
it happens every day no matter what you say

you find it happens all the time
love will never do what you want it to
why can't this crazy love be mine

It's not unusual, to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual, to be sad with anyone
but if I ever find that you've changed at anytime
it's not unusual
to find out that I'm in love with you
whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh


You need love like I do
From The RELOAD Album

Tom Jones with Heather Small

 Well, well, well 

It seems like it was only yesterday
When my Momma told me don’t fall in love with the first girl that comes your way
She was pretty and nice but I took her advice and passed her by
Years have passed and it don’t look like loves gonna give me a second try

Boy the look on your face tells me you understand
Could it be your love life, like mine needs a helping hand
 

Yeah You need love like I do, don’t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I’m looking at you

I know it aint fit and proper for a girl to talk this way
But I can’t cope with this loneliness, not one more dog-gone day
Every day has been an uphill climb to keeping my hopes afloat
Judging by your silence boy, you must be in the same boat

And again now 

You need love like I do, don’t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I’m looking at you  - well, well, well, well,
You need love like I do, don’t you?
It seems like I’m looking in the mirror, when I’m looking at you

I can’t begin to tell how many night times have been all lonely,
Come on tell me girl does it ever happen to you?
I’m gonna tell you something and believe me it aint no joke,
My love life is just like a sinking boat

I can understand a person being without money
But surely there isn’t a reason for a person to be without love.
Listen to me now; I’m a girl and you’re a guy

Yes it’s true
Come on lets give love a try

He he damn

You need love like I do, don’t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I’m looking at you

You find that true love is a dream that everyone wants to come true
Can’t you see its up to us to make this dream come true

Yeah! You need love like I do, don’t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I’m looking at you  - well, well, well
You need love like I do, don’t you?
Well It seems like I’m looking in the mirror, when I’m looking at you

Aint it true, Aint it true, Aint it true, Aint it true, Aint it true,
Yes, its true, yes its true, true, true

You need love like I do, don’t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I’m looking at you
You need love like I do, don’t you?
Well, it seems like I’m looking in the mirror, when I’m looking at you

 You need love like I do, don’t you?
I can tell by the way you look, when I’m looking at you,
You need love like I do, don’t you?
Well It seems like I’m looking in the mirror, when I’m looking at you.
 

Aint it true girl, I’m in love, I’m in love cause I need you, and I need you too.


It's Just A Matter Of Time

Someday, some way, you'll realize that you've been blind 
Yes, darling, you're going to need me again
It's just a matter of time

Go on, go on, until you reach the end of the line
But I know you'll pass my way again
It's just a matter of time

After I gave you everything I had You laughed and called me a clown
Remember, in your search for fortune and fame
What goes up must come down

I know, I know that one day you'll wake up and find
That my love was a true love
 It's just a matter of time


With These Hands

With these hands, I will cling to you
I'm yours forever and a day.
With these hands, I will bring to you
A tender love as warm as May.

With this heart I will sing to you
Long after stars have lost their glow
And with these hands, I'll provide for you
Should there be a stormy sea
I'll turn the tide for you

And I'll never
No, I'll never let you go.


Memphis Tennessee

Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee


My Prayer

When the twilight is gone and no songbirds are singing
When the twilight is gone you come into my heart
And here in my heart you will stay while I pray

My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day in a dream that’s divine
My prayer is a rapture in blueWith the world far away
and your lips close to mine

Tonight while our hearts are aglow
Oh, Why don’t you to tell me the words that I’m longing to know

My prayer and the answer you give
May they still be the same for as long as we live
That you’ll always be there

at the end of my prayer


Spanish Harlem

 There is a rose in Spanish Harlem 
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem 
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun 
It only comes out when the moon is on the run And all the stars are gleaming 
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete 
But soft and sweet and dreamin'

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem 
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem 
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul 
And starts a fire there and then I lose control I have to beg your pardon 
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden 
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden 
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem


The Anniversary Song

 Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed
We vowed our true love, though a word wasn't said
The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies
Except for the few that were there in your eyes

Dear, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Two hearts gently beating, murmuring low 
"Darling, I love you so"

The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn 
The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on
Could we but recall that sweet moment sublime
We'd find that our love is unaltered by time

 Dear, as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Two hearts gently beating, murmuring low 
"Darling, I love you so"


DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS
thanks to Newton Zago

Woman, I can remember a woman
Warm were her kisses and tender was she
Lying there in my arms
Why, why did you deceive me so
What devil inside made you go ,when I needed you most of all

Daughter of darkness Stay out of my life, my life
You took my heart, you broke it apart, Daughter of darkness 
Daughter of darkness Please leave me alone forever
Daughter of darkness gone is the love That we shared together

Heaven, we had our own kind of heaven
Sharing together, the magic of love In a world of our own
Then oh so suddenly you were gone
The love I depended upon disappeared when you went away

Daughter of darkness stay out of my life, my life
You took my heart, you broke it apart Oh daughter of darkness
Daughter of darkness leave me alone forever
Daughter of darkness gone is the love 
That we shared together


Green, Green Grass Of Home
thanks to Newton Zago

The old home town looks the same,
As I step down from the train
And there to greet me is my mamma and my poppa
Down the road I look, and there runs Mary,
Hair of gold, lips like cherries,
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they'll all come to meet me, Arms a-reachin', smilin' sweetly,
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

The old house is still standin,'Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree, That I used to play on.
Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary,
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Then I awake and look around me,
At the four gray walls that surround me,
And I realize .Yes I was only dreaming,
For there's a guard and a sad old padre,
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak,
And at last I'll touch the green green grass of home


Till
thanks to Newton Zago

You are my reason to live All I own I would give 
Just to have you adore me

Till the moon deserts the sky Till the all the seas run dry Till then I'll worship you 
Till the tropic sun turns cold Till this young world grows old
My darling, I'll adore you

You are my reason to live All I own I would give 
Just to have you adore me

Till the rivers flow upstream Till lovers cease to dream .Till then I'm yours, be mine 


You've Got a Friend
thanks to Newton Zago

You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am
I'll come running, running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, honey
All you got to do is call and I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.

When you're down and troubled and you need some love care
And nothing . No, nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there 
To brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am
I'll come running, running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, baby
All you got to do is call and I'll be there
You've got a friend.


Ebb Tide
thanks to Newton Zago

First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea And the sea is very still once more

So I rush to your side
Like the on coming tide
With one burning thought Will your arms open wide
At last we're face to face And as we kiss through an embrace

I can tell, I can feel You are love, your are real 
Really mine in the rain In the dark, in the sun 
Like the tide at its ebb I'm at peace in the web of your arms


Who’s Gonna Take You Home Tonight
thanks to Newton Zago

There’s a place you go after dark
Where you sell your haunted heart
In the shadows you look for the friend
Who’ll take you where the sidewalks ends

And it’s a sad affair
You reach out but no one’s there

Tell me who’s gonna take you home tonight
Take your hand and hold you tight
Who’ll be the one to make it right
And promise you paradise
Tell me who’s gonna take you home tonight
Turn the darkness into light
And wipe away the tears you cry
Just another stranger
Will be taking you home tonight

You couldn’t see that love was the price
What happened to the light in your eyes
Broken dreams fall at your feet
You stand alone on a dead end street

So who’s gonna hear you prayer
Look around there’s no one there
He’ll tell you dreams come true
And take you to some rented room
But when the blinds are drawn
Another angel will fall

I guess it’s in your blood
One love just ain’t enough

Tell me who’s gonna take you home tonight
Take your hand and hold you tight
Who’ll be the one to make it right
And promise you paradise
Tell me who’s gonna take you home tonight
Turn the darkness into light
And wipe away the tears you cry
Just another stranger
Will be taking you home tonight


Thunderball

He always runs while others walk,
he acts while other men just talk,
he looks at this world and wants it all,
so, he strikes like thunderball.

He knows the meaning of success;
his needs are more so he gives less;
they call him the winner who takes all,
and he strikes like thunderball.

Any women he wants he'll get,
he will brake any heart without regreat.
His days of asking are all gone.
His fight goes on and on and on,
but he thinks that the fight is worth it all,
so he strikes like thunderbaaaaaaaaall.


TWO BROTHERS (thanks Kris)

Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
Two brothers on their way
One wore blue
And one wore grey

One wore blue and one wore grey
As they marched along the way
A fife and drum began to play
All on a beautiful morning

One was gentle, one was kind
One was gentle, one was kind
One came home, one stayed behind
A cannonball don't pay no mind

A cannonball don't pay no mind
Though you're gentle or you're kind
It don't think of the folks behind
All on a beautiful morning

Two girls waiting by the railroad track
Two girls waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
One wore blue, and one wore black

One wore blue, and one wore black
Waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
All on a beautiful morning

One wore blue, and one wore black
Waiting by the railroad track
For their darlings to come back
All on a beautiful morning

All on a beautiful morning


GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY (thanks Kris)

An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and windy day,
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
Come rushin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw.

Yipie i ay Yipie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath you could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
He saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry

Yipie i ay Yipie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky.

Their face is gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked
with sweat
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'aint caught 'em yet
'cause they've got to ride forever in the range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire as they ride hard hear them cry

Yipie i ay Yipie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky.

The riders leaned on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from hell a riding on our range
Then cow-boy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Tryin' to catch this devil herd.... a-cross these endless
skies.

Yipie i ay Yipie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky.
Ghost riders in the sky.
Ghost riders in the sky.


Kiss
thanks to Janet Satchfield

You don't have to be beautiful
To turn me on
I just need your body, baby
From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me
I'll show you what it's all about

You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your KISS

You got to not talk dirty, baby
If you wanna impress me
You can't be too flirty, mama
I know how to undress me
I want to be your fantasy
Maybe, you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me
We could have a real good time

You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your KISS

I think I'd better dance now.....

Women, not girls, rule my world
I said they rule my world
Act your age woman, not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl?
You don't have to watch Dynasty
To have an attitude
You just leave it all up to me
My love will be your food

You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign, I'm more compatible with,
I just want your extra time and your KISS


Love Me Tonight

I know that it's late and I really must leave you alone
But you're too good to hold that I feel such a long way from home
Yes I know that our love is too new, But I promise Its going to be true
Please let me stay and don't you send me away Oh no no

Aaahh
Tell me baby that you need me, say you'll never leave me
Love me tonight
Hold me now my heart is aching, until the dawn is breaking
Love me tonight
Something is burning inside, something that can't be denied
I can't let you out of my sight, darling
Love me tonight
Let me love you baby
Let me love you baby
Baby love me tonight

I've waited so long for the girl of my dreams to appear
And now I can hardly believe that you really are here
Here in my arms you belong, how can this feeling be wrong
Darling be kind for I'm out of my mind over you

Aaahh
Tell me baby that you need me, say you'll never leave me
Love me tonight
Baby now the pain is stronger, I can't wait a moment longer
Love me tonight
Something is burning inside, something that can't be denied
I can't let you out of my sight darling
Love me tonight
Let me love you baby
Let me love you baby
Baby love me tonight

Love me To ni-i-i-i-ght!


She's a Lady

Well she's all you'd ever want,
She's the kind they'd like to flaunt and take to dinner.
Well she always knows her place.
She's got style, she's got grace, She's a winner.

She's a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa, She's a Lady.
Talkin' about that little lady, and the lady is mine.

Well she's never in the way
Something always nice to say, Oh what a blessing.
I can leave her on her own
Knowing she's okay alone, and there's no messing.

She's a lady. Whoa, whoa, whoa. She's a lady.
Talkin' about that little lady, and the lady is mine.

Well she never asks for very much and I don't refuse her.
Always treat her with respect, I never would abuse her.
What she's got is hard to find, and I don't want to lose her
Help me build a mansion from my little pile of clay. Hey, hey, hey.

Well she knows what I'm about,
She can take what I dish out, and that's not easy,
Well she knows me through and through,
She knows just what to do, and how to please me.

She's a lady. Whoa, whoa, whoa. She's a lady.
Talkin' about that little lady and the lady is mine.

Yeah yeah yeah She's a Lady
Listen to me baby, She's a Lady
Whoa whoa whoa, She's a Lady
And the Lady is mine

Yeah yeah yeah She's a Lady
Talkin about this little lady
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa and the lady is mine
Yeah yeah She's a Lady
And the Lady is mine.


The Rose (by Gordon Mills)

My love said to me,
"A hero you'll be,
If you bring me the rose of love."
So, today I must go where the wide riv-ers flow
Down from the hills above.
From beginning to end,
Who will guide me, my friend,
For the difficult task that she chose?
Will the sun and the rain,
From whose bosom I came,
Show me the way to The Rose?
For my true love I yearn,
But I'll never, ever return,
Till I find where that red lady grows.
When i find her, I'll sing,
And the mission bells will ring
the news that I've captured The Rose.


Once Upon A Time (by Gordon Mills)

Once upon a time there was an Eden,
woa
Once upon a time Adam and Eve,
A ...fell in love
Um...they fell in love
Like you and I
Like you and I

Once upon a time there was Delilah,
um
Once upon a time the devil and she
A...tempted man
Oh yes...a tempted man.
A..just like you
Are tempting me

Once upon a time
I knew just what to do
But that was long before
I met you, yes,
Once upon a time
I knew just what to do
But now I've fallen in love
Oh yes, I've fallen in love with you.


My Elusive Dreams by Curly Putman and Billy Sherrill (added 10/25/97, thanks to Pauline Buchanan)

You followed me to Texas, you followed me to Utah,
We didn't find it there so we moved on.
Then you went with me to A-la-bam',
Things looked good in Birmingham,
We didn't find it there so we moved on.
I know you're tired of fol-low-ing
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things,
My elusive dreams.

You had my child in Memphis then I heard of work in Nashville,
But we didn't find it there so we moved on.
To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska,
We didn't find it there so we moved on.
I know you're tired of fol-low-ing
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things,
My elusive dreams.

Now we've left A-las-ka because thewas no gold mine,
But this time only two of us moved on.
And now all we have is each other and a little memory
To cling to and still you won't let me go on alone.
I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things,
My elusive dreams.


I'll Never Fall In Love Again (added 8/30/97 - thanks Blue!)

Tom Jones as sung on "The Tenth Anniversary Album"

I've been in love so many times
Thought I knew the score
But now you've treated me so wrong
I can't take anymore
And it looks like
I'm never gonna fall in love again

Fall in love, I'm never gonna fall in love
I mean it
Fall in love again

All those things I heard about you
I thought they were only lies
But when I caught you in his arms
I just broke down and cried
And it looks like
I'm never gonna fall in love again

Fall in love, no, I'm never gonna fall in love
I mean it, I mean it
Fall in love again

I gave my heart so easily
I cast aside my pride
But when you fell for someone else, baby
I broke up all inside
And it looks like <sob>
I'm never gonna fall in love again

That's why I'm a-singin' it
Fall in love, no, I'm never gonna fall in love
Please don't make me
Fall in love again

I Couldn't Say Goodbye (added 8/6/97 - thanks Kris!)

I watch you as you're sleeping
As I'm standing at the door
I don't want to let you go
But I can't hold on anymore

I just can't find the strength
To say I'm leaving you
It's over now, it's over now
And there's nothing I can do

I couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't stand the pain
Couldn't watch you cry
Knowing that your heart would break

So I let you sleep
Till the morning light
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Telling you that I
I couldn't say goodbye

I'm walking down this rainy street
Thinking you're awake by now
As you read my letter
And the tears fall from your eyes

Just know I tried to make it work
It just wasn't meant to be
I needed you, I needed you
But not the way you needed me

I couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't stand the pain
Couldn't watch you cry
Knowing that your heart would break

So I let you sleep
Till the morning light
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Telling you that I
I couldn't say goodbye

I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't want to make you cry
It's over now, yes it's over now
I just couldn't say goodbye

I couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't stand the pain
Couldn't watch you cry
Knowing that your heart would break

So I let you sleep
Till the morning light
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Telling you that I
I couldn't say goodbye


I (Who Have Nothing) (added 8/6/98- thanks Kris!)

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I'm just a no one,
With nothing to give you but Oh
I Love You

He, He buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But believe me, dear when I say,
That he can give you the world,
But he'll never love you the way
I Love You

He can take you anyplace he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you, go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling it's I
Who Loves you
I Love You
I Love You
I Love You


The Young New Mexican Puppeteer (added 8/6/97 - thanks Kris!)

In a town near Albequerqe
Lived a most concerned young boy
He said lately I have noticed
Folks don't live with peace and joy

With frowns and worry on their faces
They're lost and don't know where to go
He said I'll get the people straightened
By putting on a puppet show

The young New Mexican puppeteer
He saw the people all lived in fear
He thought that maybe they'd listen to
A puppet telling them what to do

You know he got some string and he got some wood
He did some carving and he was good
And folks came running so they could hear
The young New Mexican puppeteer

First he carved out young Abe Lincoln
Abe will teach 'em civil rights
Then a king named Martin Luther
So they'd recall his peacefull fight

Old Mark Twain, his wit and wisdom
Will surely show them life is fun
But he smiled with satisfaction
When the prince of peace was done

The young New Mexican puppeteer
He saw the people all lived in fear
He thought that maybe they'd listen to
A puppet telling them what to do

You know he got some string and he got some wood
He did some carving and he was good
And folks came running so they could hear
The young New Mexican puppeteer

Now his puppet shows were clever
And he made the people laugh
When he got across the message
To walk along lifes open path

They built him his own puppet theatre
Decked out with spotlights yellow and red
And then they wrote him up in all the papers
And this is what the story said

It said...

The young New Mexican puppeteer
He saw the people all lived in fear
He thought that maybe they would listen to
A puppet telling them what to do

You know he got some string and he got some wood
He did some carving and he was good
And folks came running so they could hear
The young New Mexican puppeteer

Funny How Time Slips Away (added 7/30/97- thanks Pauline!)

Well, hel-lo there-
My it's been a long, long time.
How'm I do-in?
Oh I guess that I'm doin' fine.
It's been so long now
And it seems that it was on-ly yes-ter-day.
Gee, ain't it funny
How time slips away.

How's your new love
I hope that he's doin' fine.
Heard you told him
Thaat you'd love him till the end of time.
Now, that's the same thing that you told me,
Seems like just the other day
Gee, ain't it funny how time slips away.

Gotta go now,
Guess I'll see you around,
Don't know when tho',
Never know when I'll be back in town.
But remember what I tell you
That in time you're gonna pay
And it's surprising how time slips away.


Funny, Familiar, Forgotten Feelings (added 7/30/97 - thanks Pauline!)

Last night, quietly, she walked through my mind
As I lay searching for sleep.
Her soft hand reached out, she whispered my name
As she brushed a tear from my cheek.
And then those funny familiar forgotten feelings
started walkin' all over my mind.
It's sad, so sad to watch love go bad,
but a true love would not have gone wrong.
I'm just thankful for the good times we've had
for without them I could not go on,
With all these funny familiar forgotten feelings
walkin' all over my mind.
I must go on, be strong,
tho' a million teardrops may fall,
Before these funny familiar forgotten feelings
stop walk' all over my mind.


I Wanna Get Back With You (added 3/7/97 - thanks OMissNora!)

I was a fool to say the things I said,
I just lost my head.
Made you cry, made you go,
I didn't mean to be so cold.
I had no right mistreating you that way
And oh, how could I know the price I'd pay?

Sorry I ever caused you pain.
Sorry I, sorry I said those hurtful things.
But baby, all that really matters now is

I wanna get back with you.
Just give me one more try.
I wanna get back with you.
Just stop this hurt inside.
I gotta get back with you.

I been walking down these cold and lonely streets.
I been losing sleep
Had to prove I was strong but every night,
Every night just proved me wrong.
Had to think I had heaven right here in my hand
And oh, just let it slip away like sand.

Oh, gimme one chance to make it right.
One more chance, one more chance back in your light.
'Cause baby, all that really matters now is

I wanna get back with you.
Hold me just like before.
I wanna get back with you.
Taking me somewhere warm.
I gotta get back with you.

Baby, I'd give my soul
Just to hold one more time,
Just to look in your eyes.
'Cause right now I'm half alive
No matter what I do
There's no living without you,
can't you see baby?

I wanna get back with you.
Just give me one more try.
I wanna get back with you.
Just stop this hurt inside.
I gotta get back with you.
Hold me just like before.
Taking me somewhere warm.
I wanna get back with you, babe.
I wanna get back with you, baby.
I wanna get back!
I gotta get back with you!
Oh, take me back!


Try to Remember (added 3/7/97 - thanks OMissNora!)

Try to remember the kind of September
when life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
when grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
when you were a tender and callow fellow,
Try to remember and if you remember the follow.

Try to remember when life was so tender
that no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender that
dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender that
love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember and if you remember then follow.

Deep in December it's nice to remember
altho you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
without the hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
the fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow.


Help Yourself (added 6/24/97 - thanks Donna luv!)

Love is like candy on a shelf
You want to taste and help yourself
The sweetest things are there for you
Help yourself, take a few
That's what I want you to do.

We're always told repeatedly
The very best in life is free
And if you want to prove it's true
Baby I'm telling you
This is what you should do

Just help yourself to my lips
To my arms just say the word, and they are yours
Just help yourself to the love,
In my heart your smile has opened up the door
The greatest wealth that exists in the world,
Could never buy what I can give
Just help yourself to my lips
To my arms, and then lets really start to live

Allllllllll right. Yeah

My heart has love enough for two
More than enough for me and you
I'm rich with love, a millionaire
I've so much, it's unfair
Why don't you take a share

Just help yourself to my lips
To my arms just say the word, and they are yours
Just help yourself to the love,
In my heart your smile has opened up the door
The greatest wealth that exists in the world
Could never buy what I can give
So help yourself to my lips, to my arms
And then lets really start to live

Just help yourself to my lips
To my arms just say the word, and they are yours
Just help yourself to the love
In my heart your smile............(fade)


Delilah

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
I could see that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free

At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I cross the street to her house and she opened the door

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my Delilah
Why, why, why Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more

(insert trumpet solo here)

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
