"I Never Thought I'd Get This Lonely"

"I Never Thought I'd Get This Lonely"

I never thought I'd get this lonely
I never thought I'd feel this way, way
Daytime, nighttime, mean nothing to me
Wrong time, right time, what can it believe me?
I love you.

I never thought I'd feel this low-down
I never thought I'd feel this way
Since you left me, heaven help me, what am I to do?
Who will need me? Who will feed me? When I'm through with you?
Do you still love me? Please, say you do.

I never thought I'd feel this empty
I never thought I'd have to pay, yeah
I'm bottom hungry for your lovin', thirsty for your wet
While the glow of love is growin', how can one forget so quickly?
Believe me, I'm sorry, woe is.

I never thought I'd feel this guilty
But now it's just too late to mend
Why I could say I'm sorry for a lifetime
But in the end it still would be the end.

I never thought I'd feel this empty
I never thought I'd have to pay, yeah
God, I'm hungry for your lovin', thirsty for your wet
While the glow of love is growin', how can one forget so quickly?
Believe me, leave me, I'm sorry.

Then she said: 'Oh'
I never thought I'd feel this guilty
But now it's just too late to mend, oh yeah
I could say I'm sorry for a lifetime
But in the end it still would be the end.

"I Said Goodbye To Me"

"I Said Goodbye To Me"

I said goodbye to me,
I looked in the mirror,
then I began to cry.
I'll leave my things behind for all to see,
and hope that she will understand why.
Ending the game is like changing the name of your favorite song.
Step out of rhyme for the very first time and the song is gone.
There's nothing left to say,
I'll pack up my memories then I'll walk away.
I hope I'm doing right, but by tonight,
the horse and coach will be on his way.
I said goodbye to me,
I looked in the mirror,
then I began to cry.
I'll leave my things behind for all to see,
and hope that she will understand why.

"I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now"

"I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now"

You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long-ago
And each has meant heaven to you
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn
And have sworn to them all you'd be true
You have kissed 'neath the moon while the world seemed in tune,
Then you've left her to hunt a new game.
Does it ever occur to you later my boy, that she's prob'ly doing the same?

If you want to feel wretched and lonely and blue,
Just imagine the girl you love best
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
From the lips that you once fondly pressed
But the world moves apace and the loves of today
Flit away with a smile and a tear,
So you can never tell who's kissing her now
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year.

I wonder who's kissing her now, I wonder who's teaching her how,
I wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs, telling lies.
I wonder who's buying the wine for lips that I used to call mine.
I wonder if she ever tells him of me, I wonder who's kissing her now.

"I'd Rather Be Dead"

"I'd Rather Be Dead"

I'd rather be dead--I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead--I'd rather be dead
I said dead than wet my bed
Oh, I'd rather be gone--Than carry on
I'd rather go away--Than feel this way
Oh, I'd rather be there--Where you haven't got a care
And you're better off dead--Though it doesn't seem fair
Oh, I'd rather be dead--I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead--I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed
[Ladies]
I'd rather keep my health--and dress myself
But you're better off dead than sitting on a shelf
[Men]
I'll tie my tie 'till the day I die
But if I have to be fed then I'd rather be dead
And when he takes my hand on the very last day
I will understand because it's better that way
Oh! It's nice to be alive--When the dream comes true
You'll be better off dead--It could happen to you
Oh! I'd rather be dead--I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead--I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed
(Alright! Give yourselves a big hand!)
[Clapping]

"I'll Be Home"

"I'll Be Home"

I'll be home, I'll be home
When your nights are troubled and you're all alone
When you're feelin' down and need some sympathy
And there's no one else around to keep you company
Remember baby, you can always count on me
I'll be home, I'll be home, I'll be home.

I'll be home, I'll be home
Wherever you may wander and wherever you may roam
You come back and I'll be waiting here for you
'Cause no one else will ever love you the way I do
I'll be here to comfort you and see you through
I'll be home, I'll be home, I'll be home.

"I'll Never Leave You"

"I'll Never Leave You"

Some nights I go to sleep without you
The river's far too deep without you
I can't make it alone, I need you by my side.

Some nights I spend alone without you
The river's far too wide without you
I can't make it alone, I need you by my side.

I'll never leave you alone,
I'll never leave just a memory.
I'll never leave you alone in the garden
Where nothing grows.
I love you so much baby.

I'll never leave you alone,
I'll never leave just a memory.
I'll never leave you alone in the garden
Where nothing grows.
I love you so much baby.

"I'll Take A Tango"

"I'll Take A Tango"

Deep down in my soul I hate rock and roll
And I don't like the way that them drummers beat on them drums
They always hum along, out of tune
But I can see Valentino and me when I hear a tango.

Electric guitars have gone about as far as electric guitars can go
If you're talking 'bout loud man, it's more than I can stand
You can go down the hole with your sweet rock and roll
I'll take a tango.

I can see me dancing
Oh, I'll glide across the floor.

You know, down in my soul I hate rock and roll
And I don't like the way that them drummers beat on them drums
They always hum along, out of tune
But I can see Valentino and me when I hear a tango
Yeah, I can see Valentino and me when I hear a tango
Yeah, I can see Marlon Brando and me when I hear a tango.

"I'm Always Chasing Rainbows"

"I'm Always Chasing Rainbows"

I'm always chasing rainbows
Watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky.

Some fellas look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain
Some fellas make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain, believe me.

I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain.

Some fellas look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain
Some fellas make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain, believe me.

I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain.

It certainly isn't yours

I've got it!
Got it!
It's right down here
And it's just where you want it.
I've got it!
Got it!
Keeping it under a key and locket.
It's mine to give to whomever I choose
And no one can lose
And you just can't pay enough
For this wonderful stuff I use
Can't cover my dues
First you spread your two knees open wide
Think of England, left come inside
I've got it
Got it!
I can tell by the bulge in your pocket
You've got it!
Got it!
Keeping it under a key and locket.
I can't afford what you want to pay
But I am here to say it's a lovely day.
Yes I am here to say it's a lovely day
But I don't love you
Now let's get straight to the point
Got no time to mess around with you
Listen! You know the routine
Put it in the nightstand
Four hundred
Oooooooo oooo o o oo o o o o
Well alright then
Got change for a twenty
You know I've got it

It's down here in your hole in my pocket
Now it's down to the green in your wallet
It's mine to give
And to give it away
But you just can't pay enough for me
Because You know what I've got
I mean I think you know
I mean if I like you that's one thing
But this ain't gonna be no freebee
I don't want you to get all happy inside
And not pay for this ride
Do you know what I mean?
Say would you like to here Tenderly
Well that's different Now
Hey, I like the color of your stuff
Now that these business transactions are over
We can begin
Well my goodness!
Will you take a look at that
Woooooo
All shiny and purple and everything
It's getting larger by the minute
Hey you know something
On second thought
I think I would greatly appreciate it
If you put that thing away
Or put it someplace else
What if I gave you five dollars just to leave this room
[fading out]
I mean ah..
Hey! Listen! I am not just kidding around
I've got some friends downstairs and they got it.
You know what I mean?
Pretty soon there will be a knock on the door
And nah nah nah nah nah and you know you'll be in for something
Hey! Now don't get to friendly. Hey! No! Wait!

"It Had To Be You"

"It Had To Be You"

Why do I do, just as you say
Why must I just, give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don't I try - to forget

It must have been, that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying: "I have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn't fall - 'til we met

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found - the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you

Some others I've seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
