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.

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 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.

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?)

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.

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.

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.
