She'll turn the music on you, you won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow, she got Bette Davis eyes
And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll let you take her home, it works her appetite
She'll lay you on the throne, she got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you, roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you, when she snows you
Hope you're pleased with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes
And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes...
Someday, when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Love is like a dying amber
And only memories remain
And through the ages I remember
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Chantilly Lace and a pretty face
And a ponytail hangin down,
A wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk,
Made the world go 'round.
Ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl
To make me act so funny, make me spend my money.
Make me feel real loose like a long necked goose,
Like a girl - ah baby that's what I like!
What's that baby?
But - but - but - oh, honey
But - oh baby you know what I like
[repeat]
What's that honey
Pick you up at eight? And dont be late?
But baby I ain't got no money honey
Ha ha ha ha ha oh all right honey, you know what I like
[repeat]
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a King
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
Down On The Corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile,
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.
[repeat]
[repeat]
You don't need a penny just to hang around,
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner there's a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boy.
[repeat]
[repeat]
[repeat]
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on sugar let me know.
If you really need me
Just reach out and touch meCcome on honey tell me so
Tell me so baby
He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on honey let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on honey tell me so
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
His heart's beating like a drum
'Cos at last he's got this girl home
Relax baby now we are alone
They wake at dawn 'cos all the birds are singing
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other neither one's complaining
He says I sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee
Never mind sugar we can watch the early movie
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on honey tell me so
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you really, really, really, really need me
Just let me know
Just reach out and touch me
If you really want me
Just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on sugar let me know
If you, if you, if you really need me
Just come on and tell me so
Two hearts, two hearts that beat as one.
Our lives have just begun.
Forever, I'll hold you close in my arms,
I can't resist your charm.
My love, I'll be a fool, for you I'm sure,
You know I don't mind.
Cause you, you mean the world to me.
Oh, I know I've found in you, my endless love.
And love, I'll be that fool, for you, I'm sure.
You know I don't mind.
And yes, you'll be the only one.
Cause no one can deny,
This love I have its fine.
I'll give it all to you,
My love, my love, my endless love.
(Chorus)
But don't tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
You can tell your Ma I moved to Arkansas
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway
Or tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows I'm not O.K.
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today
(Repeat chorus to end)
You see, my love is alive It's like a seed that only needs the
thought of you to grow. So if you feel the need for company,
please, my darling, let it be me. I may not be able to express
the depth of the love I feel for you, but a writer put it very
nicely when he was away from the one he loved. He sat down and
wrote these words
No wind, (No wind) no rain, (no rain)
Nor winter's cold
Can stop me, babe (oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you're my goal
No wind, no rain,
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go
I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You'll always have me
And if you should miss my love
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (One more time)
Ain't no river wild enough (Say it again)
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you
I'll pretend that I'm kissing
The lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you
All my loving I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you
All my loving I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true
All my loving, all my loving ooh
All my loving I will send to you
And so it was that later, yeah
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And I would not let her be, oh, oh yeah
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And oh, and my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed
And so it was that later, oh
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale, oh yeah
Oh, and so it was, yeah, oh later
The miller told his tale
Yeah her face was kinda ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale, oh yeah
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
CHORUS:
And when we get behind closed doors
Then she lets her hair hang down
And she makes me glad I'm a man
Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors.
My, behind closed doors.
My baby makes me smile, Lord don't she make me smile
She's never too far away or too tired to say "I want you"
She's always a lady, just like a lady should be
But when they turn out the lights, she's still a baby to me.
Repeat chorus
Sold the house we once planned together
And said goodbye to folks we once knew
Then I moved to the faraway city trying hard to forget about you
Burning bridges behind me...
(chorus:
Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown
He's a clown, that Charlie Brown
He's gonna get caught; just you wait and see
(Why's everybody always pickin' on me?)
That's him on his knees, I know that's him
Yellin' 7 come 11 down in the boys' gym
(chorus)
Who's always writing on the wall?
Who's always goofin' in the hall?
Who's always throwin' spit balls?
Guess who (Who, me?) Yeah, you!
Who walks in the classroom, cool and slow?
Who calls the English teacher Daddy-O?
(chorus)
Well a way down yonder on the chatahoochie,
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim,
And I learnt who I was
Alotta 'bout livin' and a little bout love
AwwHaa
Well we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy,
I was willin',
But she wasn't ready
So I settled for a burger and a grape snowcone,
Dropped her off early, but I didn't go home
Down by the river on a friday night,
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women,
Never hadda plan justa livin' for the minute
Well a way down yonder on the chatahoochie,
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim,
And I learnt who I was.
Alotta 'bout livin' and a little 'bout love
Well a way down yonder on the chatahoochie
(short fiddle solo)
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie.
(short fiddle solo)
We layed rubber on a georia asphalt,
We gotta little crazy but we never got caught
Well we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy,
I was willin'
But she wasn't ready
So I settled for a burger and a grape snowcone,
I dropped her off early, but I didn't go home
Down by the river on a friday night,
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women,
Never hadda plan justa livin' for the minute
Yeah a way down yonder on the chatahoochie,
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim,
And I learnt who I was
Alotta 'bout livin' and a little bout love
Alotta bout livin' and a little bout love
Yeaaah-Heeee
That's right
Love, love me darlin'
Come and go with me
Please don't send me
'way beyond the sea
I need you, darlin'
So come go with me
Chorus
Come, come, come, come
Come into my heart
Tell me, darlin'
We will never part
I need you, darlin'
So come go with me
Yes, I need you
Yes, I really need you
Please say you'll never leave me
Well, say, you never
Yes, you really neve
You never give me a chance
Chorus
Repeat all
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wonderin' what in the world did I do?
I'm crazy
For thinkin' that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for cryin'
And crazy for tryin'
And I'm crazy for lovin' you
Crazy
For thinkin' that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for cryin'
And crazy for tryin'
And I'm crazy for lovin' you
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where all good people go to pray
I prayed the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day
I searched and I searched but I couldn't find
No way on earth to find peace of mind
Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
Yes, we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord
You'll search and you'll search but you'll never find
No way on earth to find peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Then your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find a way
I never did fit in to well with the folks you knew
and it's plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you
so you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do
and you turned away from the love I offered you
repeat chorus
I see your picture in the news most every day
you're the chosen girl of the social world, so the stories say
but a paper smile only lasts a while then it fades away
and the love we knew will come home to you someday
repeat chorus
Baby, babe I meet you same place
Same time,where we can, oh, get together and
Ease up our mind
Oh, do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight, baby
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Get down, get down, get down, get down
Get down tonight baby
We wo wo wo wo wo wo wo
Get down, get down, get down, get down
Get down tonight
Na na na na na na

She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
And she loves him in spite of his ways that she don't understand
And through teardrops and laughter they'll pass through this world hand in hand
This good hearted woman in love with her good timin' man
[guitar]
Now he likes the night life and bright lights and good timin' friends
And when the party's all over she'll welcome him back home again
Though she don't understand him but she does the best that she can

Away, away, away down south in Dixie
Away, away, away down south in Dixie
