"Once Upon A Time"
(with Mary Wells)

"Once Upon A Time"
(with Mary Wells)



Once upon a time I almost lost my mind
I was lonely, so lonely
Once upon a time

Hoping every day things would go my way
Then you came into my life
Now everything is fine

I never knew what love could do till I met you
Now everything is oh so cozy
Now my skies are blue all because of you
I'm so glad; I was lonely
Once upon a time

"One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)"

"One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)"



It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set 'em' up Joe, I got a little story
I think you should know
We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I know the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music
Easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but it's not
In a gentleman's code
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You'd never know it, but buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things I'd like to say
And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me
Till it's talked away
Well that's how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin'
Anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
But this torch that I found, It's gotta be drowned
Or it's gonna explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

"One More Heartache"

"One More Heartache"


One more heartache, I can't take it
My heart is carryin' such a heavy load
One more ache would break it
Just like the camel with the heavy back
One last straw was added, they say it broke the camel's back

Ah (ah) ah (ah)
I can't take it, I can't stand it

One more heartache, it would turn me right around
First you build my hopes up high and then you let me down
Like the house you built from toothpicks stacked upon the kitchen table
One last toothpick tore it down; the foundation was not able

Ah (ah) ah (ah)
I can't take it, I can't stand it
No no no baby

Oh baby, one more heartache would be too much load
I'm fed up with the heartaches; one more and I will explode
Like the toy balloon that's filled with as much air as it can take
One more puff of air and that balloon has got to burst

Ah (ah) ah (ah)
I can't take it, I can't stand it
No, honey, not another
[...and fade]

"Only A Lonely Man Would Know"

"Only A Lonely Man Would Know"



Ooh, once I thought that
Love was a toy for girls and boys
I never gave my heart
I just played the part right from the start

Then there was you, sweet you
With a love that I knew, I knew was true
But in my pride, I left you, baby
Oh, just hangin' on, now love has gone

Oh, only a lonely man would know
The bitter tears I've cried since I lost you darlin'
Since you said goodbye

Only a lonely man would know
The hurt inside of me, since I left my pride
Make a fool of me

Ask any lonely man, you see, darlin'
Walk up and ask any lonely man like me, baby

Ooh, foolishly girl, I broke your heart
Now we're apart
Now, in my lonely room, I
Just reminisce, long for your kiss

And through my lonely tears
I can see ahead long lonely years
Without your love
My world, my world's at an end

Blinds closin' in, now, I know
Oh, what I was too slow in learnin'
Oh, now I know
No that I'm all alone, my heart is yearnin'

Oh, only a lonely man would know
The bitter tears I've cried since I lost you darlin'
Since you said goodbye

Ask any lonely man, you see, baby
Go on and ask him, baby

Only a lonely man would know
The bitter tears I've cried since I lost you darlin'
Since you said goodbye

Ooh, only a lonely man would know
The hurt inside

"People"
(originally by Barbra Streisand)

"People"
(originally by Barbra Streisand)



People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children, needing other children
And yet letting a grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
With one person one very special person
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world

"Piece Of Clay"

"Piece Of Clay"



Father stop, criticizin' your son
Mother please, leave your daughters alone
Don't you see that's what wrong
With the world, with the world today

Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay
Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay

We all talked of kindness
But it's only, only a word, truly
Brother turn on a sister
In this cruel, cruel world

That's what's wrong
With oh, in this world today

Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay
Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay

Somebody to play with
Wanna mold you, wanna mold you
Shape you like they wanna
Wanna to do their thing

Children are told, to give not just to take
If we were all children,
You know the world
Will be a better place, oh

Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay
We should all love each other
Love and take one another
We should all love each other
Love and not hate, oh

Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay, yeah
Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay

True everybody wants somebody
To mold them, shape them own way
Everybody wants somebody
Try to make it
Or do their, do their thing

Everybody wants takes somebody
Got to make it do their thing
Everybody wants somebody
To be their own piece of clay

Everybody wants somebody, somebody
To be their own piece of clay

"Pretty Little Baby"

"Pretty Little Baby"


Darling, please stay, don't go away
(If you leave me)
What a heartache, for heaven's sake
(Don't you need me?)
Don't leave me blue of wanting you
(How could I live?)
Don't be untrue, what could I do?

[Chorus:]
(Don't you know you)
You gave me the world, little girl
When you gave me your love
So if you take your love
You take my world with you too

Hey look at me, now can't you see
(Tears in my eyes)
Hear what I say, stay here, I pray
(Never leave me)
Why must I plead, you know I need
(All your loving)
Don't put me down, keep me around

[Chorus]

And I say, baby, pretty little baby
Don't leave me
Baby, pretty little baby

Darlin', you give me your joy, am I your toy
(Cracked and broken)
I always share your every care
(Wishin', hopin')
All through the years we have no fears
(Now I'm cryin')
You leave the tears fallin' for years

[Chorus]

And I say, baby, pretty little baby
Don't leave me
Baby, pretty little baby
[...and fade]
