Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #380
Recordings #01-25 were from 1955 through 1969
Due 5:00 p.m. EDT (GMT-4) on Sunday, September 30, 2018
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wrote a song about her
How wrong could I be
Oh, well, she went and found another
She found another lover
She didn't even bother
To say goodbye to me
#01)
"Dear love, I've done you wrong, now I must set you free
No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin
I just couldn't tell you that guy was just a friend"
#02)
So you're walking away, so you wanna call it a day
Think of how I'm trying to keep our love
To keep our love from dying, oh, if you should go
Though I hurt you, I still love you baby
And I, I, I let you down
I, I ran around
#03)
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together, to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
#04)
Oh-oh-oh, how I cried your wedding day
Li-i-ike, like my heart would break
Now-ow you regret, mmm, your wedding day
Now-ow-ow you pay for your sad mistake
#05)
Well, every girl I ever loved
Always stepped right on my feet
I thought I had a friend once
But he kicked out my teeth
#06)
I wonder why she left me
Why did she leave me
So all alone
So all alone
#07)
I tried and I tried (I tried and I tried)
Not to hurt you bad (not to hurt you bad)
I tried so hard (I tried so hard)
Oh not to give in (not to give in)
But I lost my head and I lost my heart
And I lost your love to him
#08)
Now it begins, now that you're gone
Needles and pins, twilight till dawn
Watching that clock till you return
Lighting that torch and watching it burn
#09)
And no one even cared
Now it's just a memory
It's just a thought
If something's sold then
Something's bought
Poor old Nick, he never sold
He wouldn't leave 'til he was told
#10)
Here I am, all by myself
Watching him with someone else
And he doesn't even know I'm here
Wish I could hold back me tears, 'cause
#11)
And now we've left Alaska
Because there was no gold mine
(But this time only two of us moves on
Now all we have is each other
And a little memory to cling to)
#12)
Saddest thing in the whole wide world
See your baby with another girl
#13)
I thought we had a love so strong,
It would take a lifetime to break us apart, oh yeah
I found out today I was wrong,
And my reward was a broken heart, oh
#14)
People all around but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart
No use in holding other hands
For I'd be holding only emptiness
#15)
Spoken:
Your mother's here, standing right behind me
She never could resist looking over my shoulder as I write
Your leaving has been very difficult for her
A father they say, worries about his son but
For his daughter, he has dreams
#16)
Well, I've been waiting ever since eight
Guess my baby's got another date
#17)
You called me on the telephone
And said "Now Suzie dear
You're being mighty silly
In believin' all you hear
You know I love you only
So Suzie save your breath"
But since my name was Cindy Lou
#18)
I go to places we used to go
But I know she'll never show
She hurt me so much inside
#19)
She used to be my gi-ir-ir-ir-ir-ir-ir-irl
But now there's nothing left to say
She only wanted me for play
I learned my lesson fast
But now I know at last
#20)
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your li-i-ips
#21)
Well, he's a star now and he's gone for good
Livin' in a mansion in Hollywood
That movie queen, she stole my guy
When I pass the theater I have to cry
#22)
You persuaded me to love you,
And I did,
But instead of tenderness, I found heartache instead
Into your arms I fell, so unaware
Of the loneliness that was waiting there
#23)
The house that we built was once filled with laughter
But I changed that laughter to tears
And now I live in a world without sunshine
Oh how I wish you were here
#24)
I'm so lonesome for you, it's a crime
Going to a movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
When I'm not with you
#25)
-------------
Tie-Breakers
-------------
Spoken: "Gee Cathy, I don't want to hurt ya
Oh, I had a lot of fun with you last summer
I know I should have told you, but well I've got a steady girl
She went away for the summer, and well, maybe I was a little lonesome
But you'll find another guy
Look, it was only a summer romance and summer's over now"
Oh, you're so heartless and cruel
But, I'll always love you, like a fool
#T1)
My friends all tell me,
"She'll be back, she'll be back, she'll be back, wait and see."
Uh-huh, I'll be here waiting till eternity
I cry, yes I cry, while she's not mine
And just think, just think what she said to me
She told me she would always walk the line
It hurts, and I know it shows
#T2)
