Welcome to the next installment of the Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz series.
This time the quiz contains two major themes, which belong to the same

Good luck!

I don't care what the world might say
I'm gonna love you any old way
And although you let me down, baby, my my my
Deep down in my heart I feel that nobody else but you
And I don't care what my mother and father might say
And I don't care if the world talk about me, darling
Ooh, sometimes sometimes I just sit in my lonely room
And I moan all to myself
Why don't you come back home
#01)

Now, Genghis Khan
He could not keep
All his kings
Supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it
#02)

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
#03)

Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen
And a crashing blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Louisiana fellow to the Promised Land
#04)

Hey, the roof is leakin'
And the rains fallin' on my head, it won't stop
The roof is leakin'
And the rain's fallin' on my head, I need a mop
I cried so hard, teardrops on my bed
#05)

Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it, too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you
#06)

You told me
That you would leave me here in tears
Now you're gone
And hours seem like years
#07)

Now he's up there in Alaska
Diggin' in the cold cold ground
The greedy fool is lookin'
For the gold I never found
It serves him right and no one here is missing him
#08)

Life without love is mighty empty
But confession's good for the soul
I'd rather have love that I can cling to
Than have the world and all of it's gold
#09)

I'm living fast and dangerously
But I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
That's when I wanna see the lights of town
#10)

Now a feller whose darling proved untrue
Took her life but he lost his too
Now he swings where the little birdie sings
#11)

This got to end someday
I can't go on this way
Living in the past
Forget about sorrow
And live for tomorrow
This is all I ask
#12)

It brings back memories
Of days that I once knew
The days I spent with you
#13)

Early in the morning
Before the crack of dawn
I'm sittin' here thinkin'
Oh why was I born
I'm so broken hearted
I just can't go on
#14)

I give him all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love him too
#15)

You took the laughter from this world of mine
And thanks to you the sun will never shine
Walked the floor so much
Wore out my shoes
#16)

Honey I saw you last night
Another man's arms holding you tight
Nobody knows what I feel inside
All I know I walked away and cried
#17)

Well, there's nothin' that you ain't tried
To fill the emptiness inside
When you come back down, girl
Still ain't feelin' right
#18)

When you see my baby
Walking down the street
Do an old friend a favor
Ask him how he's doing
Does he look the same
#19)

You might like to hear my organ
I said, "Ride, Sally, Ride," now
#20)

I don't wanna go to the party with you
I don't wanna go to the dance
I don't wanna go anywhere with you
#21)

How many times will she fall for his line
Should I tell her or should I keep cool
And if I tried, I know she'd say I lied
Mind your business, don't hurt her, you fool
#22)

Every time I go out and come home
I can hear my mama say
"Son, how come every time you come home
You come from that-a way
What's up there that ain't down here
That's leading you astray
Tried my best to raise you right
But you've gone the wicked way"
#23)

I want you close to me
That's all I know
I want you all the time
Because darling I love you so
#24)

But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
#25)

Tie-Breakers:

Now my room has got two windows
But the sunshine never comes through
You know it's always dark and dreary
Since I broke off baby with you
#T1)

Here in the gloom
Of my lonely room
I hold her handkerchief
And smell her sweet perfume
#T2)
