California Dreamin'
|
|
All the leaves are brown And the sky is grey I've been for a walk On a winter's day I'd be safe and warm If I was in L.A. California dreamin' On such a winter's day Stopped into a church I passed along the way Well, I got down on my knees And I pretend to pray You know the preacher likes the cold He knows I'm gonna stay California dreamin' On such a winter's day All the leaves are brown And the sky is grey I've been for a walk On a winter's day If I didn't tell her I could leave today California dreamin' On such a winter's day California dreaming' On such a winter's day California dreaming' On such a winter's day |

Somebody Groovy
|
|
I need somebody groovy, Someone who's able to move me, yeah. (yeah) They gotta move me like they should. And when I find somebody, yeah, I'm gonna treat em' good. (No) Don't need no imitations! (No) Can't use my imagination, no! (Yeah... yeah) They gotta move me like they should. And when I find somebody, yeah, I'm gonna treat em' good. Oh, please, please believe me; I need someone to relieve me. Yeah, (yeah, yeah) they gotta move me like they should. And when I find somebody, yeah, I'm gonna treat em' good. I need somebody groovy, Someone who really can move me, yeah. (yeah) Yeah, they gotta move me like they should. And when I find somebody, yeah, I'm gonna treat em' good. And when I find somebody, yeah, I'm gonna treat em' good. |

Go Where You Wanna Go
|
|
You gotta go where you wanna go, Do what you wanna do With whoever you wanna do it with. You gotta go where you wanna go, And do what you wanna do With whoever you wanna do it with. You don't understand That a girl like me can love just one man. Three thousand miles, that's how far you'll go. And you said to me "Please don't follow". Cause you gotta go where you wanna go And do what you wanna do With whoever you wanna do it with. Babe, you gotta go where you wanna go And do what you wanna do With whoever you wanna do it with. You don't understand That a girl like me can love just one man. You've been gone a week, and I tried so hard Not to be the crying kind - Not to be the girl you left behind. You gotta go where you wanna go And do what you wanna do With whoever you wanna do it with. You gotta go where you wanna go (Go where you want) And do what you wanna do (Do what you want) With whoever you wanna do it with. You gotta go where you wanna go (Go where you want) And do what you wanna do (Do what you want) With whoever you wanna do it with. |

Got a Feelin'
|
|
Got a feelin' that I'm wasting time on you babe; Got a feelin' that you've been untrue. I got a feelin' that you're stealin' All the love I thought I was giving to you. Baby, it's true. Got a feelin' that you're playing some game with me babe; Got a feelin' that you just can't see. If you're entertaining any thought that you're gaining By causing me all of this pain and making me blue The joke's on you. When I get to feeling that you're stealing love And I don't know why, baby, It makes me so discouraged I finally get the courage not to cry, babe, Or even try, babe. Got a feelin' that I'm wasting time on you babe; Got a feelin' that you've been untrue. I got a feelin' that you're stealin' All the love I thought I was giving to you. Baby, it's true; the joke's on you. Baby it's true; the joke's on you. |

I Saw Her Again
|
|
I saw her again last night, And you know that I shouldn't Just string her along; it's just not right If I couldn't I wouldn't. But what can I do; I'm lonely too. And it makes me feel so good to know She'll never leave me. I'm in way over my head; Now she thinks that I love her (yeah, yeah) Because that's what I said Though I never think of her. (No, no, never think of her) But what can I do? I'm lonely too. And it makes me feel so good to know (And it makes me feel so good to know...) She'll never leave me. Every time I see that girl, You know I wanna lay down and die. But I really need that girl Though I'm living a lie; (Though I'm living a lie...) It makes me wanna cry I saw her again last night, And you know that I shouldn't Just string her along; it's just not right. If I couldn't then I wouldn't, But what can I do, I'm lonely too. And it makes me feel so good to know She'll never leave me. (to know... know) But what can I do? I'm lonely too. Yeah, and it makes me feel so good to know She'll never leave me. Every time I see that girl, You know I wanna lay down and die. But I really need that girl Though I'm living a lie (Though I'm living a lie...) It makes me wanna cry. I saw her... I saw her again last night. And you know that I shouldn't (no, no) Just string her along; it's just not right. If I couldn't, I wouldn't; I'm in way over my head (you say...) Now she thinks that I love her (yeah, yeah) Because that's what I said... |

Look Through My Window
|
|
And the rain beats on my roof... And it does not ask for proof... It's not that lovers are unkind; She always said there'd come a time When one would leave and one stay behind. We both knew people sometimes change And lovers sometimes rearrange; And nothing's quite as sure as change - And the rain beats on my roof... Look through my window To the street below; See the people hurrying by With someone to meet, some place to go - And I know I should let go... She always said "I'm not like you; When love is dead, for me it's through And I will find and love someone new." (And I will find somebody new) Look through my window, yeah, To the street below; See the people hurrying by With someone to meet, some place to go - And I know I should let go... I must admit she knew her mind; And it will not take her long to find Another place where the sun will shine (Another place where the sun will shine) (Where the sun will shine, sun will shine...) And the rain beats on my roof If I still require proof... Well, the rain beats on my roof (She's gone) If I still require proof... (She's gone) Well, the rain beats on my roof (Look through my window) If I still require proof... |

Words of Love
|
|
Words of love, so soft and tender, Won't win a girl's heart anymore. If you love her,then you must send her Somewhere where she's never been before. Worn out phrases and longing gazes Won't get you where you want to go. (No!) Words of love, soft and tender, Won't win her... You oughta know by now (you oughta know by now). You oughta know (you oughta know); You oughta know by now - (you oughta know by now) Words of love, soft and tender, Won't win her anymore. You oughta know by now (you oughta know by now). You oughta know (you oughta know); You oughta know by now - (you oughta know by now) Words of love, soft and tender, Won't win a girls heart anymore. If you love her, then you must send her Somewhere where she's never been before. Worn out phrases and longing gazes Won't get you where you want to go. Words of love, soft and tender, Won't win her anymore, anymore. |

Dedicated to the One I Love
|
|
While I'm far away from you, my baby, I know it's hard for you, my baby, Because it's hard for me, my baby, And the darkest hour is just before dawn - Each night before you go to bed, my baby, Whisper a little prayer for me my baby. And tell all the stars above This is dedicated to the one I love. Love can never be exactly like we want it to be. I could be satisfied knowing you love me. There's one thing I want you to do especially for me - And it's something that everybody needs. While I'm far away from you, my baby, Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby, Because it's hard for me, my baby, And the darkest hour is just before dawn. If there's one thing I want you to do especially for me Then it's something that everybody needs... Each night before you go to bed, my baby, Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby, And tell all the stars above - This is dedicated to the one I love. This is dedicated (to the one I love) This is dedicated to the one I love This is dedicated (to the one I love) This is dedicated... |

Creeque Alley
|
|
John and Mitchie were gettin' kind of itchy Just to leave the folk music behind; Zal and Denny workin' for a penny Tryin' to get a fish on the line. In a coffee house Sebastian sat, And after every number they'd pass the hat. McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher in L.A., You know where that's at. And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass. Zallie said, "Denny, you know there aren't many Who can sing a song the way that you do; let's go south." Denny said, Zallie, golly, don't you think that I wish I could play guitar like you." Zal, Denny, and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl) And after every number they'd pass the hat. McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher in L.A., You know where that's at. And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass. When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swathmore But she changed her mind one day. Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike, "Take me to New York right away." When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps; Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps. McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher But that's what they were aimin' at. And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass. Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps - Don't you work as hard as you play. Make up, break up, everything is shake up; Guess it had to be that way. Sebastian and Zal formed the 'Spoonful; Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful. McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in L.A., You know where that's at. And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass. Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted, And Mitchie wants to go to the sea. Cass can't make it; she says we'll have to fake it - We knew she'd come eventually. Greasin' on American Express cards; Tents low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard. Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations Can't go on indefinitely. And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality... |

I Call Your Name
|
|
I call your name but you're not there. Was I to blame for being unfair? Don't you know I can't sleep at night Since you've been gone. I never weep at night; I can't go on. Don't you know I can't take it; I don't know who can. I'm not gonna make it; I'm not that kind of man Don't you know I can't sleep at night. But just the same, I never weep at night; I call your name. (John... John...) Don't you know I can't take it; I don't know who can. I'm not gonna make it; I'm not that kind of man. Don't you know I can't sleep at night. But just the same, I never weep at night; I call your name. I never weep at night; I call your name. |

Twelve Thirty
|
|
I used to live in New York City; Everything there was dark and dirty. Outside my window was a steeple With a clock that always said twelve-thirty. Young girls are coming to the canyon, And in the mornings I can see them walking. I can no longer keep my blinds drawn, And I can't keep myself from talking. At first so strange to feel so friendly - To say good morning and really mean it - To feel these changes happening in me, But not to notice till I feel it. Young girls are coming to the canyon, And in the mornings I can see them walking. I can no longer keep my blinds drawn, And I can't keep myself from talking. Cloudy waters cast no reflection; Images of beauty lie there stagnant. Vibrations bounce in no direction, And lie there shattered into fragments. Young girls are coming to the canyon, (Young girls are in the canyon) And in the mornings I can see them walking. (In the mornings I can see them walking) I can no longer keep my blinds drawn, (Can no longer keep my blinds drawn) And I can't keep myself from talking... |

Straight Shooter
|
|
Don't get me mad; don't tell no lie. Don't make me sad; don't pass me by. Baby are you holding, holding anything but me? 'Cause I'm a real straight shooter, if you know what I mean. You can bring me love; you can hang around. You can bring me up; don't you bring me down. Baby are you holding, holding anything but me? 'Cause I'm a real straight shooter, if you know what I mean. I've been searching all night, just to find what I'm looking for. Baby, baby, treat me right, or I won't come round your door No more! You can bring me love; you can hang around. You can bring me up; don't you bring me down. Baby are you holding, holding anything but me? 'Cause I'm a real straight shooter, if you know what I mean. I've been searching all night, just to find what I'm looking for. Baby, baby, treat me right, or I won't come round your door No more! Don't get me mad; don't tell no lie. Don't get me sad; just get me high. Baby, what your holding, half of that belongs to me. 'Cause I'm a real straight shooter (Baby, don't you get me down...) I'm a real straight shooter... (I've been searching all night long...) I'm a real straight shooter (baby) if you know what I mean - If you know what I mean. |

Hey Girl
|
|
Hey, girl, I know he's put you down For every new love that he has found. Hey, girl, I know your feelin' sad - Sad and blue. And you think the trouble's not in him; The trouble's in you. (No!) I know he's only tryin' to score. I've seen him, I've seen him breakin' hearts before. Don't try to put him down. (Don't let him get you down.) He's the boy I want around (He's not the only boy around) And you - you shouldn't be so blue. I know there'll be another time. But I'll be his. (No, you'll be mine.) Hey, girl, although your feelin' sad... (I'm sad! I'm...) Sad and blue! Just remember while your feelin' bad, I'm waiting for you, yeah. Don't try to put him down! (Don't let him get you down) He's the boy I want around and you. (You know I'll always be around.) And you - you shouldn't be so blue. |

Glad to Be Unhappy
|
|
Fools rush in, so here I am Awfully glad to be unhappy. I can't win, but here I am More than glad to be unhappy. Unrequited love's a bore, yeah, And I've got it pretty bad. But for someone you adore, It's a pleasure to be sad. Like a straying baby lamb With no mama and no papa, I'm so unhappy, yeah. Unrequited love's a bore, yeah, And I've got it pretty bad. But for someone you adore, It's a pleasure to be sad. Like a straying baby lamb With no mama and no papa, I'm so unhappy, yeah... But oh so glad |

Dancing Bear
|
|
I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep All black from head to foot From climbing in them chimneys And cleaning out that soot. With a broom and ladder and pail, The darkened walls I scale - And far.. and high... I see a patch of sky. I'd rather be the gypsy (I'd rather be the gypsy) Whose camped at the edge of town - (Camped at the edge of town) The one who has the dancing bear That follows him around. And he lifts his big foot up; He puts his big foot down And bows... and twirls... And dances 'round and 'round. I found I was a cabin boy last night as I did dream - Bound upon a magic ship for a land I'd never seen. And the moon she filled our sails; And the stars they steered our course; And on our bow there was a golden horse. The queen eats fruit and candy; the bishop nuts and cheese And when I am a grown man, I'll taste just what I please - The honey from the bee, the shellfish from the sea, The earth, the wind, a girl, someone to share these things with me. I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep... (I'd rather be the gypsy, etc...) (I dreamed I was a cabin boy, etc...) |

Safe in My Garden
|
|
Safe in my garden, An ancient flower blooms. And the scent from its nature Slowly squares my room; And its perfume being such that it's causing me to swoon. Could it be we were hot-wired (Safe in my garden, an ancient flower blooms...) Late one night while very tired? They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it. (And the scent from its nature slowly squares my room...) With a bottle in each hand; too late to try to understand. We don't care where it lands - we just throw it. Somebody take us away... Somebody take us away... Safe in my garden, (Could it be we were hot-wired late one night while very tired...) An ancient flower blooms. (They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it...) And the scent from its nature (With a bottle in each hand; too late to try to understand...) Slowly squares my room. (We don't care where it lands - we just throw it...) (Somebody take us away...) And it's perfume being such That it's causing me to swoon. When you go out in the street, (Safe in our garden...) So many hassles with the heat; No one there can fill your desire. (And the scent...) Cops out with the megaphones, Telling people stay inside their home. Man, can't they see the world's on fire? Somebody take us away... take us away... Safe in our garden, An ancient flower blooms. And the scent from its nature... (Cops out with the megaphones; Tellin' people stay inside their homes.) Man, the world's on fire.) Slowly squares my room. Take us away... take us away... |

Dream a Little Dream of Me
|
|
Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you" Birds singing in the sycamore tree Dream a little dream of me Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me While I'm alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on, dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me |

Midnight Voyage
|
|
On a midnight voyage, One that has no ending; And it's sending me The things that I need. Far away from shore (how far?) Further than I've been before; But I feel the strength of the new sea. (Of a midnight voyage for just what you need...) Dreams come and go, And I sift through them. Love (love) starts to grow From the thoughts that I find within them. On a midnight voyage, Searching for my pleasure; Reaching with my mind for something I've dreamed. (Reaching with your mind for something you've dreamed) Loves come and go And I dream through them; Dreams (dreams) start to flow From the love that I find within them. On a midnight voyage, One that has no ending; And it's sending me Right into my mind. On... On a midnight voyage... Come on, let's take a midnight voyage; Let me take you on a little trip. Come on, come on, Woah, come on... Would you dare to take a little journey? All aboard; all ashore. At your leisure take a pleasure trip. I'm sure; you're sure. Everybody needs a pleasure trip, My friend, my friend... |

For the Love of Ivy
|
|
I never thought I'd try for the love of Ivy; I never thought I'd cry for the love of Ivy. Somebody hide me from the love, the love of Ivy. It takes up all of your time to fall in love with Ivy. (Here cometh Ivy... Ivy) If I gathered all my means (all my means) In a pile beside me (in a pile), It wouldn't help to fill my dreams (fill my dreams) For the love of Ivy. Money cannot buy me - Buy for me the love of Ivy. I'm not the kind of guy who falls in love with Ivy. Ivy... For the love of (Ivy)... for the love of Ivy, yeah. For the Love of (Ivy)... for the love of Ivy, yeah. Yeah, for the love of (Ivy)... for the love of Ivy... Yeah, yeah... For the love of Ivy... for the love of Ivy... For the love of Ivy... for the love of Ivy... If I gathered all my means In a pile beside me, It wouldn't help to fill my dreams For the love of Ivy. Somebody hide me, From the love, the love, the love, the love... It takes up all of your to fall in love with Ivy. For the love of (Ivy)... for the love of Ivy, yeah. (For the love of Ivy...) For the Love of (Ivy)... for the love of Ivy, yeah, yeah. (For the love of Ivy...) Yeah, for the love of (Ivy)... for the love of Ivy... (For the love of Ivy..) For the love of Ivy... (Ivy, darling, darling...) For the love of Ivy... (I would surely die for Ivy; Darling, darling Ivy...) Ivy, yeah... For the love Ivy (Ivy is the one that I adore..) For the love of Ivy... Ivy...

Do You Wanna Dance

Do you wanna dance under the moon light; Squeeze me all through the night? Oh, baby, do you wanna dance? Do you wanna dance and hold my hand; Tell me I'm your lover man? Oh, baby, do you wanna dance? Do you wanna dance and make romance? C'mon pretty baby and take a chance. Hey, baby, baby, do you wanna dance? (Do you...) Do you wanna dance? (Do you...) Do you wanna dance? (Do you...) Do you, do you wanna dance? Do you wanna dance under the moon light; Squeeze me all through the night? Oh, baby, do you wanna dance? (Do you...) Do you wanna dance? (Do you...) Do you wanna dance? (Do you...) Do you do you wanna dance? (Do you...) Do you wanna dance? Do you wanna dance? (Do you wanna dance?) Will you take a chance?(Do you wanna dance?) Will hold my hand? (Do you wanna dance?) At least let me be your lover man! (Do you wanna dance?) Can I hold your hand? (Do you wanna dance?) Let me be your lover man! (Do you wanna dance?) Can I hold your hand? (Do you wanna dance?) |

My Girl
|
|
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day; And when it's cold outside, I've got the month of May. I guess you'll say What can make me feel this way? My girl - I'm talking 'bout my girl. I've got so much honey the bees envy me; I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the tree. I guess you'll say What can make me feel this way? My girl - I'm talking 'bout my girl. Hey, hey, hey... Hey, hey, hey... I don't need money, fortune, or fame; I got all the riches, baby, that one man can claim. I guess you'll say What can make me feel this way? My girl (my girl, my girl) - talking 'bout my girl (Hey, hey, hey - hey, hey, hey) I've got so much honey the bees envy me (Hey, hey, hey - hey, hey, hey) I got a sweeter song than the birds in the tree (Hey, hey, hey - hey, hey, hey) Don't need no fortune, no money or fame (Hey, hey, hey...) But when I got my girl... |

Shooting Star
|
|
You were a shooting star, weren't you, 'Till moon dust came along and burned you? You ought to do what you do, you ought to do. You ought to do what you do, you ought to do. Across the milky way, waving - You know your heart is worth saving. You ought to do what you do, you ought to do. You ought to do what you do, you ought to do. Your name in northern lights, glowing; You know your mind is worth blowing. You ought to do what you do, you ought to do. |
