"Linda"

"Linda"



(Linda, Linda, I wish you were mine)

When I go to sleep
I never count sheep
I count all the charms about Linda
And lately it seems
in all of my dreams
I walk with my arms about Linda.

But what good does it do me
For Linda doesn't know I exist
I can't have feeling blue me
'Cause just think of all the lovin' I've missed.

We pass on the street
My heart skips a beat
I say to myself hello Linda
If only she'd smile
I'd stop her a while
And then I would get to know Linda.

But miracle still happened
And when my lucky star begins to shine
With one lucky break
I'll make Linda mine.

We pass on the street
My heart skips a beat
I say to myself hello Linda
If only she'd smile
I'd stop her a while
And then I would get to know Linda.

But miracle still happened
And when my lucky star begins to shine
With one lucky break
I'll make Linda mine...

"Little Ole Dime"

"Little Ole Dime"



Little ole dime
You're the last of a pocket full
I put all the others in this telephone
I've called all over town for a lost love
Let this last number be the right one.

Little ole dime
You're my last chance to find her
And I'm placing all my last hopes on you
Let me tell her I'll always be waitin'
Just in case things don't work out with someone new.

Little ole dime
Please don't disappoint me
I can't call anymore
You're my last dime
Tomorrow she'll be gone
With her new love
And I've just got to talk to her
One more time.

Little ole dime
As you leave my shakin' fingers
I pray I'll hear her answer the phone
The sound of her voice will ease my heartaches
Even though I know tommorow she'll be gone.

Little ole dime
Here you go after the others
If she answers or not it's still goodbye
I'm almost afraid to dial the number
If she isn't there I know I'm gonna cry.

Little ole dime
Plea-ease don't disappoint me
I can't call anymore
You're my last dime
Tommorow she'll be gone
With her new love
And I've just got to talk to her one more time...

"Lonely Music"

"Lonely Music"



An empty glass
Another coin in the jukebox
This pain inside
Keeps hurtin' on and on
The music starts
A blue-blue song is playin'
You don't need me anymore
Now I'm alone.

But the guy
Who writes that lonely music
Needs lonely hearts like mine
That he can write about
As the words tell their story
How I miss you
This lonely music
Keeps reminding me of you.

So talk to me
Talk to me, oh lonely music
It tells me I'm a fool
For trusting you
Just can't hold back the tears
Any longer
This lonely music
Keeps reminding me of you.

So talk to me
Talk to me, oh lonely music
It tells me I'm a fool
For trusting you
And as the words tell their story
How I miss you
This lonely music
Keeps reminding me of you...

"Losing Your Love"

"Losing Your Love"



I filled up my pockets with money
Big trophies I've hung on my wall
My mansion sits high on the hilltop
And the world is impressed by it all.

But to me always all this glory is worries
And I've not been successful enough
For while I was thrilling the whole wide world
I was losing your love.

I forgot to kiss you
And hold to your charms
Success seems like nothing
To these empty arms.

All this time I've been gaining a treasure
That I can even speak partly of
For while I was thrilling the whole wide world
I was losing your love.

Slowly losing your love...

"Love Me A Little Bit More"

"Love Me A Little Bit More"



Tease me a little bit, squeeze me a little bit.
Love me a little bit more
Love me a little bit, can't get enough of it,
Tell me I'm the one you adore.

I'm in a pettin' mood, you've got me hooked for good
I'm yours and that's for sure
Squeeze me a little bit, tease me a little bit,
Love me a little bit more.

Mommy warned me
I'd meet girls who'd make me feel like this
But she never mentioned these
Crazy flip-flops my heart does when we kiss.

Oh, what a shape I'm in, you've got me in a spin
Never felt this way before
You make a livin', seem just like a pretty dream
Love me a little bit more.

Love me a little bit, kiss me and never quit,
You know I want it that way
I dream of a honeymoon, it can't be too soon,
Just can't wait for the day.

I want to share your life, want you to be my wife
A feeling I can't ignore
Crazy 'bout your charms, want you in my arms
Love me a little bit more.

The first day when you smiled at me
You had me on your string
You got me building my dreams
Around the month of June and a wedding ring.

Love me a little bit, can't get enough of it,
I'm standing at your door
Love me all the time, say you'll be only mine
Love me a little bit more.

Mommy warned me
I'd meet girls who'd make me feel like this
But she never mentioned these
Crazy flip-flops my heart does when we kiss.

Oh, what a shape I'm in, you've got me in a spin
Never felt this way before
You make a livin', seem just like a pretty dream
Love me a little bit more...

"Make Me Wonderful In Her Eyes"

"Make Me Wonderful In Her Eyes"



As I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And for someone more dear to me
Than words can tell or eyes can see.

Expose my heart and lay it bare
Let her see the love that's there
Use your power so great and wise
Make me wonderful in her eyes.

Every night I bow my head
And say a prayer for daily bread
Tonight I ask for a greater prize
Make me wonderful in her eyes.

Let her look at me
Through the eyes of love
And treasure me
To the stars above.

Let her know how strong the need
As earth needs rain for strength to seed
Make her love the night and day
You always answer when I pray.

Touch her heart with tenderness
And let me feel completely blessed

Let her vision come behold
The mirror of my very soul
Reflect our love to twice it's size
And make me wonderful in her eyes.
Make me wonderful in her eyes...

"Making Believe"

"Making Believe"



Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
I'll always dream, though I'll never own you
Making believe, that's all I can do

I can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe, I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you, just making believe

I'm making believe that I never lost you
But my happy hours I find are so few
My plans for the future will never come true, now
I'm making believe, what else can I do?

I can't hold you close, darling, when you're not with me
You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe, I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you, making believe

"Margie"

"Margie"



Margie, I'm always thinking of you, Margie
I'll tell the world I love you
Don't forget your promise to me
I have thought of home and ring and everything.

For Margie, you've been my inspiration
Days are never blue
After all is said and done there is really only one
And Margie, Margie it's you.

(Margie, I'm always thinking of you, Margie)
(I'll tell the world I love you)

Home and ring and everything.

For Margie, you've been my inspiration
Days are never blue
After all is said and done there is only one
And Margie, Margie it's you.

Now Margie, you've been my inspiration
Days are never blue
After all it's said and done there is only one
And Margie, Margie it's you...

"Maria Elena"

"Maria Elena"



Maria Elena, you're the answer to a prayer
Maria Elena, can't you see how much I care?
To me your voice is like the echo of a sigh
And when you're near my heart can't speak above a sigh.

Maria Elena, say that we will never part
Maria Elena, take me to your heart
A love like mine is great enough for two
To share this love is really all I ask of you.

Maria Elena, say that we will never part
Maria Elena, take me to your heart
A love like mine is great enough for two
To share this love is really all I ask of you...

"Marie"

"Marie"



Marie, the dawn is breaking
Marie, you'll soon be waking
To find your heart is aching
And tears will fall as you recall

The night in all its splendor
A kiss, kiss, kiss, so very tender
The words, won't you surrender to me?
Hey Marie

Hey, Marie, the dawn is breaking
Marie, you'll soon be waking
To find your heart is aching
And tears will fall as you recall
