ONLY THE LONELY

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely

Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feelin' ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely
Know I cried and cried for you

Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance - You gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah


BLUE BAYOU

I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou

Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
Workin' till the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

I'm goin' back some day, come what may, to Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou
All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
That familiar sunrise thru sleepy eyes how happy I'd be

Oh, to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on Blue Bayou

I'm goin' back some day, gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Ah, that girl of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Ah, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside

I'll never be blue, my dreams come true
On Blue Bayou

THE CROWD

I go out with the crowd, I play the game
Pretending out loud but it don’t seem the same
For the heart of the crowd is gone from sight
My part of the crowd is not with me tonight

I remember the prom, every dance with you
All the crazy things that we used to do
Sometimes we’d wait for a chance
And then we’d steal away
From the crowd and the dance to our hideaway

Aww, but you’re gone and it’s not the same old game
I fall apart each time I hear your name
Guess I’ll go along with the crowd, I’ll make believe
That you’ll come back to me, run back to me
Hurry back to the crow-ow-ow-owd a-and me-e-e-e-e.

PRETTY PAPER

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by

Should you stop?, better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue


CANDY MAN

Come on baby, let me take you by the hand
come on sugar, let me take you by the hand
go for me, let me be,
all your own candy, your candy, candy man

come on baby, I love your honey lovin ways
baby sweet thing, I love your honey lovin, your honey lovin ways
come to me, let me be
all your own candy, your candy, candy man

Come on woman, gonna treat you right
give you candy kisses every single night

candy man, candy man, candy man, candy man,

go for me, let me be
all your own candy, your candy, candy man.


MAMA

Mama, just had to call, oh Mama
Your baby boy just had his heart
Broken in two, She said we're through
But to send her best to you.
Oh Mama, I'd like to run to you Mama
I'd come home today, leave right away
But things won't work that way
Gotta stay, and be a man
If I can, Oh Mama.

No Mom, I don't know I called her tonight
No, not at home, yeah, you're probably right
Yes I'll take care of myself. no I'll be alright
I'll go to bed early tonight.
Oh Mama, tell Dad I think of him, Mama
How's Uncle Joe, my puppy Go-Go
Tell them hello, Oh I'd better go
But good gosh, I loved her so.

Oh Mama, Don't worry so much, darling Mama
Now Mama don't cry, just say goodbye
Can't have us both in tears well Mom, you know me
Yes I'll always be your baby through all the years.


WORKING FOR THE MAN

Hey now
You better listen to me every one of you
We got a lot of lot of lot of lot of work to do
Forget about your women
And that water can
Today you're working for the man

Well pick up your feet
We got a deadline to meet
I'm gonna see you make it on time
Oh, don't relax
I want elbows and backs
I wanna see everybody from behind

'Cause you're working for the man
Working for the man
Ya gotta make him a hand
A' working for the man

So I'm pickin' em' up
And I'm layin' 'em down

I believe he's gonna work me into the ground
I pulled to the left, and I heaved to the right
I outta kill him but it wouldn't be right

'Cause I'm working for the man
A working for the man
I gotta make him a hand
A working for the man

Well the bossman's daughter sneaks me water
Everytime her daddy's down the line
She says "Meet me tonight,
Love me right
And everything's gonna be fine."

So I slave all day, without much pay
I'm just abiding my time
'Cause the company and the daughter, you see

They both gonna be all mine
Yeah I'm gonna be the man
Gonna be the man
Gotta make him a hand

If Iam gonna be the man
Working for the man
Working for the man
I gotta make him a hand
A working for the man


FALLING

I'm faling, I'm falling
Falling in love with you

Baby come closer, closer to me
And listen, listen so carefully
Remember all the nights that I told you
I loved you

It wasn't true, I used you, and you were
Just someone new
To thrill this lonely heart of mine
I was lying all the time

Pretending to be falling in love with you
But it's different now, I've kissed you now
So forgive me, forgive me somehow
Hold me tight for tonight, and tell me true
If you still love me
Say that you love me
Don't leave me now
Now that I'm falling for you

I'm falling, I'm falling
Falling in love
Falling in love with you


RUNNING SCARED

Just runnin' scared each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin' scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you

Just runnin' scared, feelin' low
Runnin' scared, you love him so
Just runnin' scared, afraid to lose
If he came back which one would you choose

Then all at once he was standing there
So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking, which one would it be
You turned around and walked away with me.


BLUE ANGEL

(sha la la, dooby wah, dum dum dum, yeh yeh, um)
(sha la la, dooby wah, dum dum dum, yeh yeh)

Oh blue angel, don't you cry just because he said goodbye
Oh, ahh ahh ahh no-oo don't cry

Oh blue angel, have no fear brush away lonely teardrops
Hey hey, whoa whoa, oo (yeh yeh, dum wah wah wah wah)

Well, love's precious flame can just burn in vain
But you're not to blame
You thought love was a game, oh such a shame

But don't you cry, don't sigh
I'll tell you why, I'll never say goodbye--blue angel
(sha la la, dooby wah, dum dum dum, yeh yeh, um wah wah wah wah)

We'll have lovin' so fine, magic moments divine
If you'll just say you're mine I'll love you till the end of ti-i-ime

Don't you worry your pretty head
I'll never let you do-ow-ow-ow-ow-own
I'll always be arou-ou-ou-ou-ound, blue angel

(sha la la, dooby wah, dum dum dum, yeh yeh, um)
Blu-ue an-an-gel  (sha la la)


LOVE STAR

Love Star, oh star of love have you forgotten me?
I'm so lonely for someone to love
Love Star, oh star of love look down so you may see
Someone for me like I'm dreaming of

You see because my heart is shy
Somehow love has passed me by
And noone knows how much I cry
When I'm all alone for a love of my own

Love Star, they say for every heart a love star shines
So please, please shine for mine and let me find my love.

You see because my heart is shy
Somehow love has passed me by
And noone knows how much I cry
When I'm all alone for a love of my own

Love Star, they say for every heart a love star shines
So please, please shine for mine and let me find my love.


EVERGREEN

Sometimes love will bloom in the springtime
Then like flowers in summer it will grow
Then must fade away in the winter
When the cold winds begin to blow

But when it's evergreen, evergreen
It will last through the summer and winter too
When love is evergreen, evergreen
Like my love for you

So hold my hand and tell me
You'll be mine through laughter or through tears
Then let the whole world see, our love will be
Evergreen through all the years

For when it's evergreen, evergreen
It will last through the summer and winter too
When love is evergreen, evergreen
Like my love for you

BORNE ON THE WIND

Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind
Between the sunset and the dawn.
So tenderly your memory
Lingers with me on and on

Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind
You are still with me it seems
A life to live, a love to give,
And you will live in my dreams.

You don’t love me,
But you love for me to be in love with you.
You led me on,lured me on
But when I fell you were gone.

Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind,
Now a song in my heart.
A soft refrain you will remain
to live again and again

Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind,
Borne on the wind.


UPTOWN

Uptown, in penhouse number three
Uptown, there lives a doll just made for me
She's the finest thing that you've ever seen, oh ho ha

Uptown, I see her most every day
Uptown, but she never ever looks my way
I'm just a bellhop, you see I can't stop
And tell her what I wanna say

That one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever-lovin' honey
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes
And then I'll be
Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me

Yeah, one of these days, I'm gonna have money
She'll wanna be my ever-lovin' honey
It won't be long, just wait and see
I'll have a big car, fine clothes
And then I'll be
Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me
