Oh! Look At Me Now
02:35
|
|||
|
I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!
I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!
I'm a new man better than casanova at his best
With a new heart and a brand new start
Why I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest
So I'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!
And I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get form your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!
I'm a new man better than casanova at his very best
With a new heart and a brand new start
I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest
So I'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
Look at me now!

When Your Lover Has Gone
04:04
|
|||
|
What good is the scheming
The planning and dreaming
That come with each new love affair
The dreams that you cherish
So often may perish
And leave you with castles in air
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

Candy

Candy, I call my sugar Candy
Because I'm sweet on Candy
And Candy's sweet on me
She understands me
My understanding Candy
And Candy's always handy
When I need sympathy
I wish that there were four of her
So I could love much more of her
She has taken my complete heart
Got a sweet tooth for my sweetheart
Candy, it's gonna be just dandy
The day I take my Candy
And make her mine, all mine

I Get a Kick Out of You
04:47
|
|||
|
My story is much to sad to be told
But practically everything leaves me totally cold
The only exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui
Then I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true?
That I get a
Kick! Out of you
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see, you obviously do not adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I Get A Kick Out Of You

Marie
03:52
|
|||
|
Marie comes into my mind like a song
And then I find she is gone
Marie. It was not to be
But you see in my memory
She lives on
She would do anything for me
If I'm lucky someday I will see
Her coming back to me
Marie never was my own
Though she's flown
I am not alone
She's in me

Holding hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
It's nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?

Ain't No Use
04:53
|
|||
|
There ain't no use
In hanging 'round
No, there ain't no use
I'm gonna put you down
There's no room left in my heart
For you
Ain't no use
For you to cry
Ain't no use
This is goodbye
You done me wrong
So many times
Now I'm through
The best years of my life
You just wasted away
You caused so many tears
Now the time has come when you must pay
Ain't no more for you say
Ain't no more for you to say
Just take your love and go away
And it's time
We can leave
Don't return
Baby, it ain't no use
If you leave, don't return
'Cause it just ain't no use

Somebody Loves Me
03:50
|
|||
|
Somebody loves me, I wonder who,
I wonder who she can be.
Somebody loves me, I wish I knew,
Who can she be worries me.
For every girl who passes me I shout, " Hey, maybe
You were meant to be my loving baby. "
Somebody loves me, I wonder who,
Maybe it's you.

Sweet Lorraine
04:05
|
|||
|
I've just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo choy
When I met my sweet Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
She's got a pair of eyes
That are brighter than the summer sky
When you see them, you'll realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine
Now when it's rainin', I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle
Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine

The Tender Trap
03:27
|
|||
|
You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap

There are many many crazy things
That will keep me loving you
And with your permission
May I list a few
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No they can't take that away from me
We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No they can't take that away from me
