I Saw Her Standing There
Paul, spoken:
One, two, three, four!
Well, she was just
seventeen,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance
with another, wo,
When I Saw Her Standing
There.
Well, she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with
her.
She wouldn't dance with
another, woo,
When I Saw Her Standing
There.
Well my heart went boom
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in
mi-een, -een.
Well, we danced through
the night
And we held each other
tight,
And before too long
I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance
with another, Oh,
Since I Saw Her Standing
There.
Well my heart went boom
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in
mi-een, -een.
Oh, we danced through
the night
And we held each other
tight,
And before too long
I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance
with another, Oh,
Since I Saw Her Standing
There.
Oh, since I Saw Her Standing
There.
Yeah, well since I Saw
Her Standing There.
Misery
The world is treating
me bad,
Misery.
I'm the kind of guy
Who never used to cry;
The world is treating
me bad,
Misery.
I've lost her now for
sure;
I won't see her no more.
It's gonna be a drag,
Misery.
I'll remember all the
little things we've done.
Can't she see she'll
always be the only one,
Only one.
Send her back to me
'Cause ev'ryone can see
Without her I will be
In Misery.
I'll remember all the
little things we've done.
She'll remember and she'll
miss her only one,
Lonely one.
Send her back to me
'Cause ev'ryone can see
Without her I will be
In Misery.
Ooh, in Misery.
Ooh, my Misery.
Lalalalala, Misery.

All of my life
I've been searching
For a girl to love me
Like I love you.
Oh, now,
But ev'ry girl I've ever
had
Breaks my heart and leaves
me sad.

I dream of your first
kiss and then,
I feel upon my lips again,
A Taste Of Honey
(A Taste Of Honey)
Tasting much sweeter
than wine.

And you.
There's A Place
There Is A Place
Where I can go
When I feel low,
When I feel blue.
And it's my mind,
And there's no time
When I'm alone.
I think of you,
And things you do
Go 'round my head,
The things you've said,
Like "I love you,
Only you".
In my mind there's no
sorrow.
Don't you know that it's
so?
There'll be no sad tomorrow.
Don't you know that it's
so?
There Is A Place
Where I can go
When I feel low,
