"Sleep Tight, Good Night Man"

"Sleep Tight, Good Night Man"



The sandman told me he's done all he can
The situation needs a brand new plan
You've been cryin' all night long
Tossin' and turnin', it's almost dawn

So here I am, I'll help you if I can
Count on me, just take my hand
Close your eyes, leave the rest to me

And you'll have
Sweet dreams that'll last all night
An easy feeling in the mornin' light
Drift away with the touch of my hand
I'm your sleep tight, goodnight man

Soft an' soothin' like a lullaby
I'll kiss the tears from your weary eyes
In the mornin' you will understand
You've been touched by the goodnight man

I'll rock you gently like a rollin' wave
Hold you in my arms until you drift away
Just lay back, and leave the rest to me
And you'll have
Sweet dreams that'll last all night
An easy feeling in the mornin' light
Drift away with the touch of my hand
I'm your sleep tight, goodnight man

I'll rock you gently like a rollin' wave
Hold you in my arms until you drift away
Just lay back, and leave the rest to me
And you'll have
Sweet dreams that'll last all night
An easy feeling in the mornin' light
Drift away with the touch of my hand
I'm your sleep tight, goodnight man
Your sleep tight, goodnight man
I'm your sleep tight, goodnight man

"So Long"

"So Long"



It's been so long, so very long
I wonder what did I do wrong
I've been so sad and blue
Since you said "Baby, we're all through"

If you leave me in this mood
I fear I'm bound to come unglued
Oh to hold you in my arms again
I'll be so lonely until then

Well maybe I've been a bad boy baby
Yes and I've told my share of lies
But baby please forgive me
'Cause it's so hard to realize

You may be gone, never to return
Oh what a bitter lesson to learn
There's only one thing left to do
Baby say so long to you
Baby say so long to you
So long

"So Long Dad"

"So Long Dad"



Home again and the streets are not much cleaner
And the quaint old south side scenery
Is quaint no more, just older than before
Go up the stairs and down the hallway
To my daddy's door

Your son is home dad and he's found a girl
And she's the greatest thing in all the world
I think you'll like her dad, I hope you do
But if you don't that's alright too

What's new dad, do you still work at the drugstore
That true, still polishin' the same floor
I miss my good old dad
My but it's great to be back
Home again, but we won't be living here dad
The smoke makes Jane's eyes tear so bad
And we can't have that, I'll write you where we're at
Janey's uncle owns a bank, I think I'll try my hand at that

So come and see us papa when you can
There'll always be a place for my old man
Just drop by when it's convinient to
Be sure to call before you do

So long dad, la la la la la la la la
So long dad, la la la la la la la la
So long dad, la la la la la la la la
So long dad, la la la la la la la la
So long dad, la la la la la la la la
So long dad, la la la la la la la la

"So Long Mama"

"So Long Mama"



What do you want from me now mama
I picked you up when you were down
All of the time I thought you loved me
You were runnin' all around

You got the wrong information
'Cause it's a bad situation
So you just
Walk yourself right out that door mama
I don't want you anymore

If I said that you'd grown cold lately
That'd be an understated fact
I'd get more lovin' fom an iceberg baby
So before you melt, get off my back

There's gonna be a slight correction
You'd better find a new connection
Get out your spring-a-later shoes
Start payin' your own dues
I don't want you anymore

You strut around town with your nose up in the air
I'll bet you've never seen the ground
You'd better learn how to breath through your ears mama
'Cause if it rained right now you'd drown

To avoid a misinterpretation
It's time you took a long vacation forever
You just walk yourself right out that door mama
I don't want you anymore

What do you want from me now mama
I picked you up when you were down
All of the time I thought you loved me
You were runnin' all around

You got the wrong information
'Cause it's a bad situation
So you just
Walk yourself right out that door mama
I don't want you anymore

So long mama

"Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)"

"Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)"



I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody new
You expect me to be true and keep on loving you
Though I am feeling blue, you think I can't forget you

Until someday, you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody new
Although you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't want you

I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody new
Although you don't want me now
Oh, I'll get along somehow
And then I won't want you

"Someone To Love"

"Someone To Love"



Let me tell you about Rosey, she was a friend of mine
She wore a Batman t-shirt, she always dressed so fine
One day she went walking. It was about midnight.
When the police inspector, he took her for a ride
She said

Everybody needs someone, somebody to love
Everybody needs someone, a little help from above
You can shine it on, we all belong, you can't go wrong
With someone to love

With someone to love

Everybody needs someone, somebody to love
Everybody needs someone, a little help from above
You can shine it on, we all belong, you can't go wrong
With someone to love

Let me tell about Sadie, a lady friend of mine
One late rainy Sunday the preacher man stopped by
He said Sadie, you're evil, take off that evil disguise
As she made her donation, the man began to cry
She said

Everybody needs someone, somebody to love
Everybody needs someone, a little help from above
You can shine it on, we all belong, you can't go wrong
With someone to love

With someone to love

"Something You Can't Buy"

"Something You Can't Buy"



You can buy you a house
And a big shiny car
You can go without
But you won't get to far
'Cause you need someone to see you through
Someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given
And love is somethin' you can't buy

You can wear your fancy clothes
An' all those diamond rings
You can go where you go
But it won't mean a thing
'Till you find someone to see you through
Someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given
And love is somethin' you can't buy

Your world is turnin'
It's turnin' upside down
Don't look behind you
'Cause there's no one around

You get everything you see
And you wonder why
What you got you don't need
And you can't be satisfied
'Till you find someone to see you through
Someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given
And love is somethin' you can't buy

Your world is turnin'
It's turnin' upside down
Don't look behind you
'Cause there's no one around

You get everything you see
And you wonder why
What you got you don't need
And you can't be satisfied
'Till you find someone to see you through
Someone to tell you it's alright
And you get back what you've given
And love is somethin' you can't buy

'Cos you get back what you've given
And love is somethin' you can't buy

You get back what you've given
And love is somethin' you can't buy

"Stars Fell On Alabama"

"Stars Fell On Alabama"



We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama last night

I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama last night

I never planned in my imagination
A situation so heavenly
A wonderland where no one else could enter
And in the centre just you and me, dear

My heart beat like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night

I never planned in my imagination
A situation so heavenly
A wonderland where no one else could enter
And in the centre just you and me, dear

My heart beat like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night

"Stay Young"

"Stay Young"



Aw, don't lose you that light in your eyes
Never to late to love
Never to late to try
When somebody needs you
Give them all you can give
When you live in the love
Your lovin' to live

Stay young keep your wheels in motion
You've got everything that you need
Stay young with your rock an' rollin'
All the best things in life are free

Aw, don't you feel like playin' the fool
Step out of line
Break all the rules
Don't let them tell you
It's not for you
Don't go growin' old
Before you're through

Stay young keep your wheels in motion
You've got everything that you need
Stay young with your rock an' rollin'
All the best things in life are free

Stay young keep your wheels in motion
You've got everything that you need
Stay young with your rock an' rollin'
All the best things in life are free

Stay young keep your wheels in motion
You've got everything that you need
Stay young with your rock an' rollin'
All the best things in life are free

"Stood Up"

"Stood Up"


Well, I've been waitin' ever since eight
Guess my baby's got another date
Stood up, broken-hearted, again

I'll bet she's out havin' a ball
Not even thinkin' of me at all
Stood up, broken-hearted, again

Well, I know just what I oughta do
I oughta find somebody new
But, baby, I couldn't forget about you
Stood up, broken-hearted, again

[Instrumental break]

Why must I always be the one
Left behind never havin' any fun?
Stood up, broken-hearted, again

But I guess I'll go on bein' a fool
Sittin' around just waitin' for you
Stood up, broken-hearted, again

Well, I know just what I oughta do
I oughta find somebody new
But, baby, I couldn't forget about you
Stood up, broken-hearted, again

Stood up, broken-hearted, again
Stood up, broken-hearted, again
