"Break It To Me Gently"

"Break It To Me Gently"


Look at me, I'm in my glory
Like a child, who loves a story pinching myself just to see
If you're really here with me
Nothing good can last for long
So when you feel like moving on
Break it to me gently.
How I wish that we could make
Love for as long as it can take
Wear each other out, and then
Stop and start it all again
All my life I dreamt of this
And if a dream is all this is
Break it to me gently.
And, I don't want to sound a bore
What will be will be I know
But there's no harm in asking
For when you have a beauty rare
Why can it not be everlasting.
Is it true what I hear whispered
You get tired of men so quick
That it's now become a standing joke
How long will the next one cope
If there isn't the doubt
And I'm the next to be kicked out
Break it to me gently.
And, I don't want to sound a bore
What will be will be I know
But there's no harm in asking
You've been through all this before
Could this one not be ever-lasting.
Optimistic though I am
Things will remain the way they stand
Nevertheless there is this fear
You might one day disappear
I just hope that if it's true
You will have the decency to
Break it to me gently
If and when the time arrives
Don't just leave me high and dry
Break it to me gently.

"Breakfast Dinner And Tea"

"Breakfast Dinner And Tea"


All I ever get from you is breakfast dinner and tea
Served with all the love that you possess
So tomorrow I'll be off with nothing left in me
Bar a helping of your tenderness

People said before we met how good you could be
Especially at well that they didn't say
So I let my imagination get the better of me
Not thinking that I would regret that very day

Now I'm mixed up with a girl
Who believe me cooks like a pro
But outside of that
It's no good at what she should be, loving me

Now I'm mixed up with a girl
Who believe me cooks like a pro
But outside of that
It's no good at what she should be
All I ever get from you is breakfast dinner and tea
Served with all the love that you possess
So tomorrow I'll be off with nothing left in me
Bar a helping of your tenderness

All I ever get from you is breakfast dinner and tea
Breakfast dinner and tea

"But I'm Not / Outro"

"But I'm Not / Outro"


Don't you ever change your mind
Don't you ever be unkind
To me some say that
(You're a fool)
Well, I'm not
You might think that I'm a fool but I'm not

If I take you to a dance
Don't let me catch you holding hands
With other boys they think I'm cruel
Well, I'm not
You might think that I'm being cruel but I'm not

It's worth a little thought to think of how I fought for you
Even so you know I caught for you
Every bad dream you had and threw them away
There'll come a day when I know you will say
All the things I said to you were the best things too

So don't you ever change your mind
And don't you ever be unkind
To me some say that
(You're a fool)
Well, I'm not, no, no, no, no
You might think that I'm a fool, but I'm not

It's worth a little thought to think of how I fought for you
Even so you know I caught for you
Every bad dream you had and threw them away
There'll come a day when I know you will say
All the things I said to you were the best things too

So don't you ever change your mind
And don't you ever be unkind
To me some say that
(You're a fool)
Well, I'm not, no, no, no, no
You might think that I'm a fool, but I'm not

I'm not quite finished yet
I'm not quite finished yet
I nearly am you understand
But I'm not quite finished yet

There's another side to go before I go
Thought I'd let you know
Thought I'd let you know

"Bye-Bye"

"Bye-Bye"


I've only this to say to you know why
Good bye, bye bye
My loneliness endears it but so do I
Good bye, bye bye
You'd think by now that somehow
You'd have changed
Long range no change
Forget me now you know how I will you
Will you please do?

I've only this to say to you know why
Good bye, bye bye

Forget me now you know how I will you
Will you please do?

I don't know why
Sometimes I lie
Other times I tell the truth
Sometimes even out of spite
I'm uncouth

"Call On Me"

"Call On Me"


When you're feeling blue
You don't know what to do
Just call on me
I'll make it worth your while

I'll always be at home
You'll never be alone
As long as I'm there with you
By your side

Now when the moon is high
Above there in the sky
Just knock upon my door
And I'll be with you

No matter where you go
Just come and let me know
I hold your hand
And when alone I'll kiss you

With you I feel happy
When I know that I'll never change my mind
With me you can be
Any hour (any hour), day or night (day or night)
Call on me girl, (call on me)
Anytime you like, like

So if you feel today
You'd rather get away
To some place where you know
You won't be lonely

Just call on me and see
How happy you will be
I'll make you feel
You life's just for me only

With you I feel happy
When I know that I'll never change my mind
With me you can be
Any hour (any hour), day or night (day or night)
Call on me girl, (call on me)
Anytime you like, like

So if you feel today
You'd rather get away
To some place where you know
You won't be lonely

Just call on me and see
How happy you will be
I'll make you feel
You life's just for me only

And from all of us here
It's goodbye
I'll now hand you over to the A-side

I hope you enjoyed my little B
If you haven't well what can I say
Except I hope that you like the A
If you haven't well what can I say
Except I hope that you like the A

"Came And Went"

"Came And Went"


When you needed money
You came to me
It was no problem
That was plain to see
Yet when I needed some company
You promised you'd pay me a call
But you came and went so quickly
I didn't know
You had been here at all
When there was a war on
You came crawling to me
There seemed no better place
That you'd rather be
Yet when it was over you told me
You'd come back and pay me a call
But you came and went so quickly
I didn't know
You had been here at all
What does it mean
What does it prove
If I get my
Own back on you
Revenge is sweet
But so are peas
And not the ones
Alphabetically
My hands are cold
Legs are like ice
I'm on the beach
Weather is nice
The wind comes up
It starts to snow
My hands get warm
My feet they glow
Oh I can remember
Things you used to say
But what sticks in my mind most
Is the way
You hurt me so much
When you left me
Although you promised you'd pay me a call
But you came and went so quickly
I didn't know
You had been here at all

"Came To See Me Yesterday"

"Came To See Me Yesterday"


If I ask you politely
What it is your going to be
When you grow up you tall me
A woman
Came to see me yesterday,
In the merry month of September
I took a trip to see
All the things I was going to be

A famous movie star
With a two hundred foot car
That will only carry two people

Came to see me yesterday
In the merry month of July
I'll fly anywhere you want me to
Just tell me when and

You won't mind if I don't find
What I am looking for
What I am looking for

Is a bicycle made for one
Hundred people to sit on
Plus a carriage made for two people
Came to see me yesterday,
In the merry month of July
I'll fly anywhere you want me to
Just tell me when and

You won't mind if I don't find
What I am looking for
What I am looking for

Is a bicycle made far one
Hundred people to sit on
Plus a carriage made for two people
Came to see me yesterday
In the merry month of marching
Side by side and back to back
I think it's fair to say that's that.

"Can I Go With You"

"Can I Go With You"


The day you came my way
I was such a fool to say
All the things I said about you just to make you jealous
But I've learnt my lesson then
Now I'm prepared to start again
If I promise to be true
Can I go with you
Whenever you're around
All the boys I know are found
Trying to be the one to hold you by the hand
But I feel if it's O.K.
Only one thing I can say
If I promise to be true
Can I go with you
Can I take you by the hand
Can I love you
Please tell me
Please tell me
Can I go with you
If you think I'm a fool
Let me tell you there's no rule
That can stop me wanting you
And I do, so help me
I won't feel like having fun
Till you say that I'm the one
So if I promise to be true
Can I go with you
If I promise to be true
Can I go with you

"Can't Find My Way Home"

"Can't Find My Way Home"


Nothing you can do or say
After the fact
Even with experience
Which I don't lack
I'm like a little lamb
That I can't find my way home.
Read about it talked about it
Even asked
Wanted it to happen
And now it has
I'm a little lamb
That I can't find my way home.
Samson and Delilah
Even beauty and the beast
Have about as much in common
As chalk to cheese
Yet it didn't seem to matter
All that they were really after
Is this thing I am in.
Why in spite of warning voices which I heed
Why instead a suit of armour I don't need
I'm like a little lamb
That can't find my way home.
I don't understand it
It's impossible to say
I've been out with girls before
But never felt this way
Where do I go for advice
A lamb with wool over his eyes
Sitting here
Full of hear
They say that all in love is fair
I don't agree
Here am I in love and look what
It's done to me
For like a little lamb
That can find my way

"Can't Get Enough Of You"

"Can't Get Enough Of You"


There's nothing in the world that I'd like more
Than to be left standing outside your door,
Where perhaps I might be asked to come in
There I could very easily demonstrate
Of what now appears to be my fate,
You see I'm hooked on something
And it's not heroin

Oh I just can't get enough of you,
No, I can't get enough what am I gonna do,
I've tried every trick in the book that's going,
Now I've decided that they're not worth knowing,
My predicament is as simple as this,
I'm not satisfied and the reason is
I just can't get enough of you

My experience of life so far,
Has been to say the least, not the least bizarre,
I mean I work for a living, eight hours a day,
I don't smoke or drink, except a little wine,
The friends that I have are the genuine kind,
I think I'm fairly rational, in a moderate way,
Yet I can't get enough of you,

No, I can't get enough, what am I gonna do,
I've had other women but they don't move me,
You're the only one who can see right through me,
What you've got I can't explain,
Other than to tell I wouldn't complain,
I just can't get enough of you,
No I can't get enough of you,
I just can't get enough, what am I gonna do,
Like Oliver Twist said when he asked for more, I happen
To like what you gave me before,

My condition is rather unique,
I'm suffering from the world's first lovely disease
I just can't get enough of you,
No I can't get enough of you,
Can't get enough of you
