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.


Anna (Go To Him)

Anna,
You call and ask me, girl,
To set you free, girl.
You say he loves you more than me,
So I will set you free,
Go with him. (Anna)
Go with him. (Anna)

Anna,
Girl, before you go now,
I want you to know, now
That I still love you so.
But if he loves you more,
Go with him.
Go with him.

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.
What am I,
What am I,
Supposed to do?

Oh, Anna,
Just one more thing, girl,
You give back your ring to me,
And I will set you free.
Go with him.
Go with him.

All of my life
I've been searching
For a girl to love me

Supposed to do?

And I will set you free.
Go with him. (Anna)
Go with him. (Anna)
You can go with him, girl, (Anna)
Go with him.

Chains

Chains,
My baby's got me locked up in Chains,
And they ain't the kind
That you can see.
Woah, these Chains of love
Got a hold on me, yeah.

Chains,
Well, I can't break away from these chains,
Can't run around
'Cause I'm not free.
Woah, these Chains of love
Won't let me be, yeah.

I love you,

My happiness still makes me cry.
And in ti-yi-yi-yi-yime,
You'll understand the reason why.

If I cry, it's not because I'm sad,
But you're the only love that I've ever had.

I can't believe
It's happened to me,
I can't conceive
Of any more misery.

A Taste Of Honey

A Taste Of Honey,
Tasting much sweeter than wine.
(Doo dood-n' doo)
(Doo dood-n' doo)

I dream of your first kiss and then,

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,
When I feel blue.
And it's my mind,
And there's no time
When I'm alone.

There's A Place.
There's A Place.
There's A Place.
There's A Place.
