And let me drink to a love I thought was mine
A love I thought was true to me
But now I'm drinking to a memory
#01)
Hold ya tight
Gotta need ya so
With all my might
I gotta squeeze ya
Hold ya tight
Because
I love ya so
#02)
(Say you love me)
Darling, say we'll never part
Your love for me, dear, stays in my heart
Tell me why-y-y-y should I make you sigh
#03)
Run your hand
Through your hair
Paint your face
With despair
That's your lot in life
#04)
The way you hug me
The way you squeeze me
The way you kiss me (smack!)
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
#05)
When your luck is battin' zero
Get your chin up off the floor
Mister, you can be a hero
You can open any door
#06)
Since I can't love you right, baby
I don't have to love you at all
#07)
Don't know what a slide rule is for
But I know that one and one is two
#08)
Just because I don't do the dance they way they want me to
Can't they see that I'm in a different bag?
#09)
Oh, can't you hear the angels callin'
Oh, yeah
Listen!
Shinin' through eternity
As it was, so it shall be, yeah
#10)
I've laid in a ghetto flat cold and numb
I've heard the rats tell the bedbugs to give the roaches some
#11)
Mom and papa told me, "Son, you'd better watch yourself"
If they knew about
#12)
What can I say now?
Being sorry's just not good enough
I wouldn't blame you if you hurt me now
The way I hurt you then
But who else can I turn to?
Baby, I'm begging you
Please reach out to a dying man
And let him live again
#13)
She don't feed me peanut butter
She knows that I can't take
#14)
(Oh, you take) West Street, East Street, North Avenue
#15)
All this aggravation ain't satisfactionin' me
#16)
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire
I got a cobra snake for a necktie
#17)
The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
Folks were watching from the windows, everybody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
#18)
Just I and my friend
We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles
#19)
If you want some lovin', yeah, that I'll give to you (yes, yes, to you)
If you want some huggin', baby, I can hug some, too (yes, yes, oh)
Rrrrrowww!
All I want, baby, is some parts of you (yes, yes, of you)
Just a little bit of 'tention (yes, yes, from you)
You know will see me through (yes, yes, me through)
'Cause you know you're my kind
And I want you to be mine
Rrrrrowww!
#20)
But it's knowing that you're looking back that's really killing me
#21)
That's a question I'm still unable to answer
'Cause I can't stop my love for you
(Yum diddy-yum diddy-yum)
(Yum diddy-yum diddy-yum)
#22)
I would cry more
Than anyone should ever be allowed to cry over anyone or anything
(Anyone or anything)
So please love me more
Than anyone should ever be allowed to love anyone or anything
(Anyone or anything)
#23)
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
#24)
Has he taken (has he taken) any time (any time)
(To show) to show you what you need to live?
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
I'm young, I know
But even so
I know a thing or two
I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot
#T1)
She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind at play
