Got the one room suite in the downtown motel. Got a lovely view. Classic shot of the parking lot. An off ramp of route 72. . Half flat six pack of lukewarm beer.
I was a fool to care. I was a fool to care. I was a fool to care. But I don't care even if I was a fool. I'm still in love with you. . Had I listened to the grapevine.
Once I was young yesterday. Perhaps danced with Jim and Paul and kissed some other chaps. Once I was young but never was naive. I thought I had a trick or two up my imaginary sleeve.
I got holy children to show me the light,. Singing hallelujah, brother how about you?. Yeah, we got holy scriptures here. That prove us to be right,. In believing out loud what we wish to be true..
How sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you. . I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were. I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were.
How sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you. . I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were. I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were.
I grew up in your hometown, at least began to grow. I hadn't got to my first shave before the body blow. Egyptians in the courtyard, my family in chains.
Mama makes the music and she makes the news. She dances all night in her golden shoes. She's high flying. Going, going , gone. She'll be halfway to heaven by.
You ain't nothing but a hound dog. Crying all the time.. You ain't nothing but a hound dog. Crying all the time.. Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit.
That limousine in which you made the scene suits you to a 'T'. If all you want to be is somebody that don't never walk.. That big chateau where you want to go in the south of France,.
Dream, Dream Lover. Dream, Dream Lover. . Every night I hope and pray. A Dream Lover will come my way,. A girl to hold in my arms. And know the magic of her charms.
Those magic men the Magi. Some people call them wise. Or Oriental, even kings. Well anyway, those guys. They visited with Jesus. They sure enjoyed their stay.
Father, let us build a boat and sail away. There's nothing for you here. And brother, let us throw our lot out upon the sea. It's been done before. . I'm thinking 'bout a broken heart.
Hey mister that's me up on the jukebox. I'm the one that's singing this sad song. Well I cry every time that you slip in one more dime. And let the boy singing this sad one, one more time.
She's been afraid to go out. She's afraid of the knock on her door. There's always a shade of a doubt. She can never be sure. Who comes to call. Maybe the friend of a friend of a friend.
Paris' rooftops were lovely to see. Switzerland's vertical landscape. Crossed my mind's eye just now. Canada's shoreline has been calling out to me. But it's been too long a time.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas. Let your heart be light. From now on, our troubles will be out of sight. Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
We've seen some hard times, hard times,. Holding it together ain't always easy.. An angry man, hungry woman,. They're driving each other crazy.. It's so low down, show down,.
Note: hidden track.. . Oh money, oh money, oh where have you gone?. I need me some money to have me some fun. Gonna pick up my guitar and write me some hits.
Hey girls, gather round. Listen to what I'm puttin' down. Hey, baby, I'm your handy man. I'm not the kind that uses pencil or rule. I'm handy with the love and I'm no fool.
