No Reply
|
This happened once before
When I came to your door,
No reply,
They said it wasn't you
But I saw you
Peep through your window.
I saw the light,
I saw the light.
I know that you saw me
'Cause I looked up to see your face.
I tried to telephone,
They said you were not home,
That's a lie,
'Cause I know where you've been,
I saw you walk in you door.
I nearly died,
I nearly died,
'Cause you walked hand in hand
With another man
In my place.
If I were you
I'd realize
That I love you more that any other guy,
And I'll forgive
That I heard before
When you gave me no reply.
I tried to telephone,
They said you were not home,
That's a lie,
'Cause I know where you've been,
I saw you walk in you door.
I nearly died,
I nearly died,
'Cause you walked hand in hand
With another man
In my place.
No reply, no reply. |

I'm a Loser
|
I'm a loser,
I'm a loser,
I'm not what appear to be.
Of all the love I have won or have lost,
There is one love I should never have crossed.
She was a girl in a million, my friend,
I should have knows she would win in the end.
I'm a loser,
And I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a loser,
And I'm not what I appear to be.
Although I laugh and I act like a clown,
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown.
My tears are falling like rain from the sky,
Is it for her or myself that I cry.
I'm a loser,
And I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a loser,
And I'm not what I appear to be.
What have I done to deserve such a fate,
I realize I have left it too late.
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall,
I'm telling you so that won't lose all.
I'm a loser,
And I lost someone who's near to me.
I'm a loser,
And I'm not what I appear to be. |

Baby's in Black
|
Oh dear what can I do,
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me oh what can I do.
She thinks of him
And so she dresses in black
And though he'll never come back,
She dressed in black.
Oh dear what can I do,
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me oh what can I do.
I think of her
But she thinks only of him,
And though it's only a whim,
She think's of him.
Oh how long will it take
Till she sees the mistake she has made,
Oh dear what can I do,
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me oh what can I do.
She thinks of him
And so she dresses in black
And though he'll never come back,
She dressed in black.
Oh dear what can I do,
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me oh what can I do. |

Rock and Roll Music
|
Just let me hear some of that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock'n'roll music
If you wanna dance with me, if you wanna dance with me.
I've got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beaty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony.
That's why I go for that
Rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock'n'roll music
If you wanna dance with me, if you wanna dance with me.
I took my loved one over'cross the tracks
So she can hear my man a wail a sax
I must admit they have a rocking band
Man, they were going like a hurrican.
That's why I go for that
Rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock'n'roll music
If you wanna dance with me, if you wanna dance with me.
Way down south they had a jubilee
The jokey folks they had jainboree
They're drinking home brew from a water cup
The folks dancing got all chook up
And started playing that
Rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock'n'roll music
If you wanna dance with me, if you wanna dance with me.
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
I'm in the wood to hear a mambo
It's way too early for a congo
So keep a rocking that piano
That's why I go for that
Rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock'n'roll music
If you wanna dance with me, if you wanna dance with me |

I'll Follow the Sun
|
One day you'll look
To see I've gone,
For tomorrow may rain,
So I'll follow the sun.
Some day you'll know
I was the one.
But tomorrow may rain,
So I'll follow the sun.
And now the time has come,
And so, my love
I must go.
And though I lose a friend
In the end
You will know oh,
One day you'll find
That I have gone.
But tomorrow may rain,
So I'll follow the sun. |

Mr. Moonlight
|
You came to me one summer night
And from your beam you made my dream
And from the world you send my girl
And from above you send us love
And now she is mine, I think you're fine
'Cos we love you, Mister Moonlight
Mister Moonlight, come again please
Here I am on my knees begging if you please
And the night you don't come my way, oh
Pray and pray for each day
'Cause we love you, Mister Moonlight
And the night you don't come my way, oh
Pray and pray more each day
'Cause we love you, Mister Moonlight
Mister Moonlight, come again please
Here I am on my knees begging if you please
And the night you don't come my way, oh
Pray and pray for each day
'Cause we love you, Mister Moonlight
Mister Moonlight! Mister Moonlight! |

People tell me I'm lucky.
Yes, I know I'm a lucky guy.

I Don't Want to Spoil the Party
|
I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go.
I would hate my disappointment to show.
There's nothing for me here,
So I will disappear
If the turns up while I'm gone please let me know.
I've had a drink of two and I don't care.
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there.
I wonder what went wrong,
I've waited far too long.
I think I'll take a walk and look for her.
Though tonight she's made me sad,
I still love her.
If I find her I'll be glad,
I still love her.
I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go.
I would hate my disappointment to show.
There's nothing for me here,
So I will disappear
If the turns up while I'm gone please let me know.
Though tonight she's made me sad,
I still love her.
If I find her I'll be glad,
I still love her.
I've had a drink of two and I don't care.
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there.
I wonder what went wrong,
I've waited far too long.
I think I'll take a walk and look for her. |

What You're Doing
|
Look what you're doing, I'm feeling blue and lonely
Would it be so much to ask of you what you're doing to me?
You got me running and there's no fun in it
Why should it be so much to ask of you what you're doing to me?
I've been waiting here for you, wond'ring what you're gonna do.
Should you need a love that's true, it's me.
Please stop your lying, you got me crying girl
Why should it be so much to ask of you what you're doing to me?
I've been waiting here for you, wond'ring what you're gonna do.
Should you need a love that's true, it's me.
Please stop your lying, you got me crying girl
Why should it be so much to ask of you what you're doing to me?
What you're doing to me?

Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby
|
When I took some honey from a trip
Dress it up and they called it me
Everybody's trying to be my baby,
Everybody's trying to be my baby,
Everybody's trying to be my baby now
I dreamed last night at half past four
Five women knocking on my door
Everybody's trying to be my baby,
Everybody's trying to be my baby,
Everybody's trying to be my baby now
When out last night I did say late
Before I got home I had a nineteen date.
Everybody's trying to be my baby,
Everybody's trying to be my baby,
Everybody's trying to be my baby now
When out last night I did say late
Before I got home I had a nineteen date.
Everybody's trying to be my baby,
Everybody's trying to be my baby,
Everybody's trying to be my baby now
When I took some honey from a trip
Dress it up and they called it me
Everybody's trying to be my baby,
Everybody's trying to be my baby,
Everybody's trying to be my baby now |
