"Little Girl"

"Little Girl"

Little girl is smart as she can be, woe
Little girl you've made a fool of me, woe.
I believed her when she said she really loved me.
The love was shining in my eyes so couldn't see the lies
In her eyes.

Little girl knows more than she pretends
She knew I wanted to be more than friends.
Every time she hurt me oh how sorry she was,
Yesterday she went to far and now I'm through because I'm wise
To all those lies.

Friends said don't worry now she's sweet and she's kind
Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel all the time
The little things that bothered me I let them go by
And now it's too late to cry.

Little girl it's time that we should part
'Cause little girl now you've broke my heart.
I couldn't help but hear what they had said about you
Now I'm ashamed to tell them that I fell in love you.
They'd laugh at me
Please set me free.

Friends said don't worry now she's sweet and she's kind
Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel all the time.
The little things that bothered me I let them go by
And now it's too late to cry.

Little girl now I'm through with you
'Cause you've got everything you wanted too.
Despite all those things that they said you had done
You had me believin' now that I was the one
In your dreams, instead of your schemes.

Little girl, little girl.....

"Little Red Rider"

"Little Red Rider"

Little Red Rider ride on the railroad
And she rides.
Little Red Rider ride on the railroad
Wave goodbye.
So long, Sunshine,
Ride away.
I know you'll come back some day, line by line.

Little Miss Red's asleep on the railroad
There she goes.
Little Miss Red's asleep on the railroad
No one knows,
That little Miss Red is little Miss Blue
And she looks a lot like you
Around the eyes.

Nobody was home in town.
Nobody was home in town.
Nobody was home in town
In the town I call home.
Somebody said they all had drown.

Bye-bye, sweet miss,
Give me one kiss
And then I'll go.
Bye-bye, sweet miss,
Give me one kiss
Don't let it show.
Then turn your brown eyes to the wall.
Was that message there before you were so wise.

[Instrumental]

Bye-bye, sweet miss,
Give me one kiss
And then I'll go.
Bye-bye, sweet miss,
Give me one kiss
Don't let it show.
Then turn your brown eyes to the wall.
Was that message there before you were so wise.

"Long Title: Do I Have To Do This All Over Again?"

"Long Title: Do I Have To Do This All Over Again?"

Do I have to do this all over again?
Didn't I do it right the first time?
Do I have to do this all over again?
How many times do I have to make this climb?
Didn't I?
Didn't I?

Can I see my way to know what's really real
They say time can fix things by itself
I know life's more than just some kind of deal
Won't you tell me what all, when my soul comes off the shelf
Didn't I, oh, didn't I?

Do I have to do this all over again?
Didn't I do it right the first time?
Do I have to do this all over again?
How many times do I have to make this climb?
Didn't I?...

"Long Way Home"

"Long Way Home"

The other night I took the long way home
Out past the old schoolyard
It's funny how you keep it all inside
Dreams they do die hard

I closed my eyes and I could see your face
Somewhere back in time
One summer night a million miles ago
Back when you were mine

Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows
But don't carve the words in stone
I know it's late
But can't you see I was only
Taking the long way home

Sometimes its easy to get all wrapped up
In trying to be free
And all those dreams I sailed away to find
Were right in front of me

Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows
But don't carve the words in stone
One of these days
You're gonna see I was only
Taking the long way home

Although the letters stopped many years ago
I'll show you even time could not keep this heart
from letting go

The other night I took the long way home
Out past the old schoolyard
It's funny how you keep it all inside
Dreams they do die hard

Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows
But don't leave me here all alone
One of these days
You're gonna see I was only
Taking the long way home

Say yes, say no
But don't leave me here all alone
One of these days
You're gonna see I was only
Taking the long way home
[repeat]

"Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)"

"Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)"

Look out, here comes tomorrow,
That's when I'll have to choose.
How I wish I could borrow,
Someone else's shoes.

Mary, oh what a sweet girl,
Lips like strawberry pie.
Sandra, the long hair and pig tails,
Can't make up my mind.

I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come

Told them both that I loved them,
Said it, and it was true.
But I can't have both of them
Don't know what to do.

I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come

[Instrumental]

I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come

"Looking For The Good Times"

"Looking For The Good Times"

Looking for the good times, baby
Gonna have my fun
Looking for the good times, baby
Girl you can come along with me
Wow, you're gonna see
Just how fine this big old world can be

Looking for the good times, baby
Gonna have a ball
Looking for the good times, baby
You can share it all

There's more to life than you've been living, girl
You can share it all
There's things to do that you ain't thought of yet
You can share it all
So let me be the one to do the giving, girl
You can share it all
You'll find the things you thought you couldn't get

Looking for the good times, baby
Gonna have my fun
Looking for the good times, baby
Girl you can come along with me - with me

Looking for the good times, baby
Gonna have a ball
Looking for the good times, baby,
Girl you can share it all...

"Love Is Only Sleeping"

"Love Is Only Sleeping"

She looked at me
And the emptiness in her eyes was cruel to see
Then she turned away and said,
"Once I loved, but love is dead"
And I whispered, "Sometimes love is only sleeping"

She said, "I cannot cry
And I cannot give or feel or even try"
And her voice was hard and cold
Then her sweet young face looked old
And I whispered, "Sometimes love is only sleeping"

Through the endless days and nights
Could not help but wrap herself in sorrow (sorrow)
Through the endless days and nights
She waited for a shiny new tomorrow
Love was sleeping, sleeping

She looked at me
And her smiling tears were warm and sweet and free
And the moonlight kissed her eyes
As it mingled with our sighs
And she whispered, "Sometimes love is only sleeping"
And she whispered, "Sometimes love is only sleeping"
Only sleeping...

"Love To Love"

"Love To Love"

Love's a thing that needs one 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
A heart that's cold

[Chorus:]
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?

Seems like you keep trying 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

[Chorus 2x]

Why do I love you...?

"Magnolia Simms"

"Magnolia Simms"

Love to me is blue-eyed and blonde.
Oh, that's sweet Magnolia.
Apple pie on the window still warm.
That's my sweet Magnolia

Walking under a sky that's so blue
After rain has fallen.
When she's walking so close by my side
My troubles seem to just run and hide.

[la-dee, da-dum, etc.]

Well, walking under a sky that's so blue
After rain has fallen.
When she's walking so close by my side
My troubles seem to just run and hide.

Magnolia Simms is my little doll.
I can't live without her.
For if she goes my world will just fall.
Stay with me, Magnolia.
[Sound of record skipping]
Stay with me, Magnolia.

"Mary, Mary"

"Mary, Mary"

Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, can I go too.
This one thing I will vow ya,
I'd rather die than to live without ya.
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?

Mary, Mary, tell me truly
What did I do to make you leave me.
Whatever it was I didn't mean to,
You know I never would try and hurt ya.
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?

What more, Mary, can I do
To prove my love is truly yours?
I've done more now than a clear-thinkin' man would do.

Mary, Mary, it's not over.
Where you go, I will follow.
'Til I win your love again
And walk beside you,
But until then.
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?

Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
[Repeat adlib]
