"Lost In Hollywood"

"Lost In Hollywood"



I get up in the morning and I go to work
I try to keep busy but I feel the hurt
I see you around me ev'rywhere I turn
But you're gone - lost in Hollywood

You got up one morning,
Said you had to go
You would've gone
Even if I told you "no"
And all I could say was,
"Baby just take it slow,
You take care,
Don't get lost in Hollywood"

You had your dream, you had to find it
I begged you, "Girl, please don't go"
Now when I call to find if you're in
The answer always is "no"

You had to make it on your own
Just had to do it all alone for a while
Was not a lot that I could say
You had to have it your own way,
I suppose
Like some river that flows to the sea

And I should've known
That in time you would be leaving me
Leaving me

Hey, has anybody seen my girl
She's lost in Hollywood

Hey, has anybody seen my girl
She's lost in Hollywood

I get home in the evening
But I just can't sleep
I lay on your pillow
And I feel your heat
And ev'rything here
Just keeps on reminding me
That you're gone - lost in Hollywood

I walk the streets, it sounds of laughter
But I hear only the pain
The morning comes,
The sunshine greets me
But I feel only the rain

But something gets me through the day
Something in my heart keeps saying to me
I just know you can't be far away
When you come home
Ev'rything's going to work out okay
Okay

Hey, has anybody seen my girl
She's lost in Hollywood

Hey, has anybody seen my girl
She's lost in Hollywood

If you know where to find her
Then kindly remind her
While searching for finer
She's left love behind her
Yeah

Hey, has anybody seen my girl
She's lost in Hollywood

Hey, has anybody seen my girl
She's lost in Hollywood

"Louie, Louie"

"Louie, Louie"




Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
Louie, Louie, me gotta go.

A fine little girl, she wait for me.
Me catch the ship across the sea.
I sailed the ship all alone
I never think I'll make it home.

Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
Louie, Louie, me gotta go.

Three nights and days we sailed the sea.
Me think of girl constantly.
On the ship I dream she there.
I smell the rose in her hair.

Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
Louie, Louie, me gotta go.

Me see Jamaican moon above.
It won't be long me see me love
Me take her in my arms and then I tell her
I never leave again.

Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
Louie, Louie, me gotta go.

"Love Burns"

"Love Burns"



See what you do
You make me act so crazy
I'm overcome, I know
Stealin' my own show
For your love

And who am I now, Clown or Casanova
I'm never sure with you
And what more can I do

For your love burns
Warmer than you know
When love burns,
Never let it go away

And where do we go
Find a road to lead us
I'm searching in your eyes
A world beyond the skies

For your love burns
Brighter than you know
When love burns,
Never let it go away

Love burns
Brighter than you know
Oh, love burns
Never let it go away

Love burns when the spirit is wounded
Cut deep by the sound of rejection
Love burns in the soul of the seeker
Blue shadows in every direction

Love burns when the heart is uncovered
In the rage of the coldly storm
Love burns
Through the night and the morning
Till the frozen heart is warm
Love burns
Love burns
Love burns
Love burns

"Love Doesn't Live Here Anymore"

"Love Doesn't Live Here Anymore"



How can I stay in this place
All that I see is her face
And every room just seems to haunt me

Why would she throw love away
Guess there's no reason to stay
Maybe it's time to close the door

Darlin',
Love it doesn't live here anymore
Why can't it be like before
I know that she still wants me
Tell me why, why did she have to go
Love doesn't live here, I know

I thought our love would go on
But somehow she knew all along
That we could never find an answer

Putting an end to our plans
Leaving my heart in my hands
Saying goodbye is such a chore

Darlin',
Love doesn't live here anymore
Why can't it be like before
I know that she still wants me
Tell me why, why did she have to go
Love doesn't live here

And we had something,
There can be no doubt
Now there's nothing left to talk about
She's the one thing I can't live without
How can I leave it all behind

And how could she throw love away
Guess there's no reason to stay
Maybe it's time to close the door

Darlin',
Love doesn't live here anymore
Why can't it be like before
I know that she still wants me
Tell me why, why did she have to go

Love doesn't live here anymore
Why can't it be like before
I know that she still wants me

Tell me why, why did she have to go
Love doesn't live here,
I know
I know
I know
I know

"Love On The Rocks"

"Love On The Rocks"



Love on the rocks ain't no surprise
Pour me a drink,
And I'll tell you some lies
Got nothing to lose,
So you just sing the blues, all the time

Gave you my heart, gave you my soul
You left me alone here
With nothing to hold
Yesterday's gone
Now all I want is a smile

First they say they want you
How they really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in a storm

When they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say,
You've got to leave, just get away
We all know the song

You need what you need
You can say what you want
Not much you can do
When the feeling is gone
May be blue skies above,
But it's cool
When your love's on the rocks

First they say they want you
How they really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in a storm

And when they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say
You got to leave, just get away
We all know the song

Love on the rocks
Ain't no big surprise
Just pour me a drink
And I'll tell you my lies
Yesterday 's gone
Now all I want is a smile.....

"Love Potion Number Nine"

"Love Potion Number Nine"



I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy
With the gold cap tooth
She's got a pad down at 34th and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion #9

I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm
And she made a magic sign
She said
"Whatcha need is
A bottle of Love Potion #9"
She bent down and turned around
And gave me a wink
She said I'm gonna make it up
Right here in the sink
It smelled like turpentine
And looked like India ink
I held my nose
I closed my eyes
I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissing everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop
Down at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of
Love Potion #9

She bent down and turned around
And gave me a wink
She said I'm gonna make it up
Right here in the sink
It smelled like turpentine
And looked like India ink
I held my breath and closed my eyes
I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop
Down on 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9

"Love Song"
(originally by Lesley Duncan)



The words I have to say
Maybe will be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do

Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
Now it's really up to you

Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom's the lesson we learned
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom's the lesson we learned
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

"Love To Love"

"Love To Love"



Love's a thing that needs wants to thrive on
Then it grows
At least that's what I've been told
You can't love someone
If you find that all you get in return
Is a heart that's cold

They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way
But if it's true
Why do I love you

Seems like you keep tryin' to break me
You do things designed just to make me cry
And I've heard if warm lips don't touch you
Love won't grow no matter
How much you try

They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way
But if it's true
Why do I love you

They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way
But if it's true
Why do I love you

Why do I love you
Like I do

"Love With The Proper Stranger"

"Love With The Proper Stranger"



I could fall in love with the proper stranger
If I heard the bells and the banjos ring
If two certain eyes with the look of danger
Smiled a welcome warm as spring

If the beating in my heart
Sounded out a warning
"Don't let her,"
"Don't let her walk through the door"
"This is the one you've been waiting for"
Oh, yes, I'd know
However wild it seems,
You know I'd know

And I'd whisper
"Come take my hand, proper stranger"
"Don't go through life as a stranger"
"For I'm a poor proper stranger, too"

"Don't let her,"
"Don't let her walk through the door"
"This is the one you've been waiting for"
Oh, yes, I'd know
However wild it seems,
You know I'd know

And I'd whisper
"Come take my hand, proper stranger"
"Don't go through life as a stranger"
"For I'm a poor proper stranger, too"

"Love's Own Song"

"Love's Own Song"



Me and you
We were two
And we did anything we ever wanted to
You and I
We could fly
And we saw the world through lovers' eyes

For a while it was all that we needed
For a while we were love's own song
Tell me now
Tell me how this could ever happen
You are the one
That showed me right from wrong
Come on home to me, babe
You know that I love you
Remember you and me
We were love's own song

It was true
Love was new
And no one could ever tell us what to do
Love was ours
We took it far
Yeah, we even touched the sky
And outshined the stars

For a while we made love's sweet music
For a while we were love's own song
Tell me now
Tell me how this could ever happen
I turned around and reached for you
And baby, you were gone
Please don't make me plead
You know that I love you
I remember you and me
We were love's own song

Tell me now
Tell me how this could ever happen
I turned around and reached for you
And baby, you were gone
Please don't make me plead
You know that I love you
Remember you and me
We were love's own song
We were love's own song
We were love's own song
We were love's own song, yeah

Remember you and me
We were love's own song
We were love's own song
We were love's own song
We were love's own song, yeah

Remember you and me
We were love's own song
We were love's own song
We were love's own song
We were love's own song, yeah
