A Certain Girl

There's a certain girl I've been in love with a long, long time.
(What's her name?) I can't tell you. (No!)
I can't reveal her name until I've got her.
(What's her name?) I can't tell you. (No!)
Well, I've tried to get her time and time again.
We just end up as nothing but friends.

Well one day, I'm gonna wake up and say,
"I'll do anything just to be your slave."

Evil hearted you
You al...ways try to put me down
With the things you do
And words...you spread around
Against me

Evil hearted you
You kept kidding me around
With your phony smile
And with...your sorrent songs
Smilin', you got me
You leave me on till all hope is gone
Persuadin', degradin'
On my knees I try to please

But I love you, just the same
And I want you, to remain
By my side, and you'll see
Just how much you...mean to me

For your love (3x)
I'd give you everything and more and that's for sure      (for your love)
I'd bring you diamond rings and things right to your door (for your love)

For your love
To thrill you with delight, I'd give you diamonds bright
Double takes I will excite, make you dream of me at night
for your love (3x)

For your love,
For your love
I would give the stars above
For your love,
For your love
I would give you all I could

I'd give the moon if it were mine to give (for your love)
I'd give the stars and the sun for I live (for your love)
For your love
 
 

Meeting people along my way,
Seemingly alone one day,
But the reality of things,
That my dreaming always brings.

Happenings ten years time ago,
Situations we really know,
But the knowing is in the mind,
Sinking deep into the whirl of time.
Sinking deep into the whirl of time.

Walking in the room I see,
Things that mean a lot to me.
Why they do I never know,
Memories don't strike me so.
Memories don't strike me so.

It seems to me I've been here before,
The sounds I heard, and the sights I saw.
Was it real, was it in my dreams?
I need to know what it all means.

Happenings ten years time ago,
Situations we really know,
But the knowing is in the mind,
Sinking deep into the whirl of time.
Sinking deep into the whirl of time.

Sick at heart and lonely,
Deep in dark despair.
Thinking one thought only,
Where is she tell me where.

And if she says to you
She doesn't love me
Just give her my message
Tell her of my plea

And I know if she had me back again,
Well I would never make her sad.
I've gotta heart full of soul.

She's been gone such a long time
Longer than I can bear
But if she says she wants me
Tell her that I'll be there

And if she says to you
She doesn't love me
Just give her my message
Tell her of my plea.

And I know if she had me back again,
Well I would never make her sad.
I've gotta heart full of soul.
 
 

Yeah the bells have tolled,
And my baby caught that train and gone.
Oh the bells have tolled,
And my baby caught that train and gone.
Well it's all my fault,
I must have done somebody wrong.

Well it's all my fault,
And I just can't explain.
Yes it's all my fault,
And I just can't explain,
Gonna get me a new [doll?]
So maybe my luck will change.

My baby's [treating me that my life would change?]
I've been goin' around,
And now look at me,
Done somebody wrong,
Well it's all my fault,
I must have done somebody wrong.
 
 

I got a Maserati G.T.
With snakeskin upholstery.
I got a charge account at Goldblatt's,
But I ain't got you.

I got a closet full of clothes,
But no matter where it goes,
It keeps a ring in the nose,
But I ain't got you.

I got a tavern and a liquor store.
I play the numbers, yeah, four forty-four.
I got a mojo, yeah, don't you know,
I'm all dressed up with no place to go.

I got women to the right of me.
I got women to the left of me.
I got women all around me,
But I ain't got you.
No, I ain't got you.

Early in the morning, 'bout the break of day,
That's when my baby went away.
Come back, baby, I wish you would,
Try and love me, you won't do no good.

Walking and a-kissing late at night;
I tell you now baby, I feel just right.
Come now baby, whatcha trying to do?
Trying to love me and some other man, too.

Come now baby, give me one more chance.
You know I still love you, want to give you romance.
Yeah romance, all night long, in my arms, woah yeah.

Early in the morning, 'bout the break of day,
That's when my baby went away.
Come back, baby, I wish you would,
Try and love me, you won't do no good.

You know baby that I love you so.
You know, pretty baby, it hurts me to see you go.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
 
 

You pretty women,
Standing in line,
Make love to babe,
In my own time
'Cause I'm a man,
turned 21,
I spell M - A - N, man
Don't back down,
To Kansas too
Bring back a pretty girl,
Just like you,
'Cause I'm a man
I spell m, a, n, man
 
 

I'm not talking,
Well that's all I got to say.
Used to think I knew it,
Man I sure outgrew it.
Things like idle chatter,
Ain't the things that matter,
That's one thing I can do without.

I'm not talking,
Well that's all I got to say.
Things I say at midnight,
I ain't gonna say 'em in daylight.
I reached the final conclusion,
And all this persecution,
Don't call me, baby, I'll call you.

I'm not talking,
Well that's all I got to say.
Things I say at midnight,
I ain't gonna say 'em in daylight.
I reached the final conclusion,
And all this persecution,
That's one thing I can do without.

I'm not talking,
Well that's all I got to say.
If I said things were awful,
It might just be unlawful.
If I said things were splendid,
You might just be offended.
That's one thing I can do without.
 
 

Little games are for little boys,
I'm growing up and changing all my toys,
Aeroplanes, motor cars, goldfish in old jam-jars,
I just don't play these games no more.
Little games are for little boys,
Loving games are for bigger boys,
Parties in Chelsea flats,
Mixing with kinky cats,
Are games I wanna play some more.

Ooh, what they're doing to me,
Darling it's so plain to see,
My temperature's rising,
But that's not surprising,
When you do what you do to me.

Little games are for little boys,
I found out there are other joys,
Marjory, Josephine, Susie and Catherine,
They help me in my little games.

My, my, my, my, my, my, my,
Play my little games,
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,
Say I need you, I need you...

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Cars and girls are easy come by in this day and age
Laughing joking drinking smoking
Till I've spent my wage.

When I was young people spoke of immorality
All the things they said
Were wrong are what I want to be.

Over under sideways down.
Hey, backwards forwards square and 'round.
Over under sideways down.
Hey, backwards forwards square and round.
When will it end, when will it end.

Hey! Hey!
I find comment 'bout my looks irrelativity
Think I'll go and have some fun 'cos it's all for free
I'm not searching for a reason to enjoy myself
Seems it's better done
Than argued with somebody else.

Over under sideways down.
Hey, backwards forwards square and round.
Over under sideways down.
Hey, backwards forwards square and round.
When will it end, when will it end.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Pennsylvania snow is pretty thick,
Michigan ain't where I get my kicks.

Texas is fine but it gets too hot,
And New York City's not a place to stop.

New Orleans is the home of the blues,
But California's my home with Mary Hughes.

Down in Mississippi I'm told is nice,
And all the meals there, they come with rice.

Oregon and Iowa are not for me,
The Colorado mountains are something you must see.

But back in California there's nothing to lose,
'Cos everything's swinging there with Mary Hughes.

You say hop and I'll hop,
You say stop and I'll stop,
You say come and I come,
Oh anything you say I'm like a hunk of clay.

I'm just like putty,
Putty in your hands ah-ah,
Well ah-ah.

With one wave of your hand,
I'm your slave to command,
But I'm glad it's OK,
Oh anything you say I'm like a hunk of clay.

I'm just like putty,
Putty in your hands ah-ah,
Well ah-ah.

You can stretch me until I'm ten feet tall,
Or cut me down to the size of a rubber ball.
You can use me, abuse me, but never remove me,
Without your love I ain't nothing at all.
Oh well ah.

They say I'm a fool,
'Cos you treat me so cruel,
But I'll go on this way.
Oh anything you say I'm like a hunk of clay.

I'm just like putty,
Putty in your hands ah-ah,
Oh ah-ah.

You can stretch me until I'm ten feet tall,

You can use me, abuse me, but never refuse me,
Without your love I ain't nothing at all.
Oh well ah.

Shapes of things before my eyes,
Just teach me to despise.
Will time make men more wise?
Here within my lonely frame,
My eyes just heard my brain.
But will it seem the same?

(Come Tomorrow) Will I be older?
(Come Tomorrow) May be a soldier.
(Come Tomorrow) May I be bolder than today?

Now the trees are almost green.
But will they still be seen?
When time and tide have been.
Fall into your passing hands.
Please don't destroy these lands.
Don't make them desert sands.

(Come Tomorrow) Will I be older?
(Come Tomorrow) May be a soldier.
(Come Tomorrow) May I be bolder than today?

See the stars come fallin' down from the sky
Gently passing, they kiss your tears when you cry
See the wind come softly blowing your hair from your face
See the rain hide away disgrace
Still I'm sad

For myself, my tears just fall into dust
Day will dry them, night will find they are lost
Now I find the wind is blowing time into my heart
Let the rain blow as far as we are apart
How I'm sad
How I'm sad
How I'm sad

Strollin' on,
'Cos it's all gone,
The reason why.
You made me cry,
By tellin' me,
You didn't see.
The future bore,
Our love no more.
If you want to know,
I love you so,
And I don't want to let you go.

I'm strollin' on,
Gonna make you see.
I'm strollin' on,
You'll find you really love me.
I'm strollin' on,
Be your turn to cry.
I'm strollin' on,
You wish you'd never lied.
You're going to change your mind,
But you ain't gonna find,
Any more of my kind.

Can you judge a man,
By the way he wears his hair?
Can you red his mind,
By the clothes that he wears?
Or can you see a bad man, by the patch on his tie?

Well then,
Mister you're a better man than I
Mister you're a better man than I
Oh, Mister you're a better man than I
Well, Mister you're a better man than I

Could you tell a wise man,
By the way he speaks or spells?
Is this more important,
Than the stories that he tells?
And call a man a fool, if for wealth he doesn't strive?

Well then,
Mister you're a better man than I
Yeah, Mister you're a better man than I
Well, Mister you're a better man than I
Yeah, Mister you're a better man than I

Can you condemn a man,
If your faith he doesn't hold?
Say the color of his skin,
Is the color of his soul?
Or could you say that men, walking in country all must die?

Well, Mister you're a better man than I
Yeah, Mister you're a better man than I
Well, Mister you're a better man than I
Yeah, Mister you're a better man than I
