Why torture yourself, when you know you're in love
Throw your pride in the ocean and be happy beneath the stars above
Confess your feelings to the one's you love
And let's live, before it's too late
Let's live

Why deprive yourself, of the wonders of life
Time is getting shorter, there's no reason for those lonely nights
If you don't, if you don't love me, you'll miss the boat

Once again,
Here am I wrapped up in a dream, I'm about to lose my mind
Over you, I've done it again

Once again,
I sit alone wondering and worrying all night long
Over you, I've done it again

I've been in love before
I've been hurt before
I thought I was through with being a fool
But I ended in the same shoes once more

Once again,
I sit alone wondering and worrying all night long

Train whistle blowin' around the bend
But I can hear it comin' in
That's the train my baby's on
But now she's gonna bring her home

Got a letter yesterday
This is what she had to say
Meet me at the station a quarter to ten
Let's try it over again

Waitin' at the station happy as can be, now
Waitin' at the station for my baby
My lonely nights are over from this day on

For every boy, there's a girl
And I know somewhere in this world
There must be somebody
There must be somebody, for me, for me

I pray at night alone in my sleep
That someday my lover I'll meet
Cuz I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely
There must be somebody for me, for me

I pray at night that you'll come back to me
I love you with all my heart and soul
Darling, I would never make you cry

Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart
It's about to drive me insane

Oh why she's never on time
She should have been here since a quarter 'til nine
What could be keeping her so long
Well is she in another mans arms

Do we still have our date
I won't know until it's too late
Could be my bad luck
Maybe she done stood me up

She thinks that I'm lame

Don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' don't cry
I'll not say my last good bye
Whoa, so don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' don't cry
Cuz I'll return someday

So don't weep, don't weep, little darlin' no, no don't weep
My heart tells me you're in love with me
Whoa, so don't weep, don't weep, little darlin' don't weep
Cuz I'll return someday soon

There's a new girl in my neighborhood
She's a sweet little thing, she looks real good
She gets everybody's attention around
They call her sweet little mama

All the boys wink when they see her
Even the girls smile when they meet her
Everybody's trying to be first
To hold sweet little mama

She got a certain secret in her smile
That makes you wanna stay awhile

Every time the telephone rings I hold my breath
Hoping that it's you, I'm scared to death
Phone went ring, my crippled heart cried
Let it be you, on the line
Then a voice say hello, can I speak to Joe?
Wrong number, I'm sorry, good bye

Pity the fool who loves you so
If you found someone new, don't let me know
The phone rang once again, my heart skipped a beat

(hey little Alice, hey little Alice)
I know a little girl lives down the street (hey little Alice)
She's a rockin' little mama, and she sure is sweet (hey little Alice)
She comes out early with the rising sun (hey little Alice)
She comes back in the evening when the day is done (hey little Alice)
Night time comes and she's out again (hey little Alice)

Every day along about noon
Oh how I'm dreaming of the day that I'll be home soon

And every day along about one
Oh how I remember how we used to have fun

And every day along about two
Whoa how I'm so lonely in a world so blue

And every day now along about three
When I'm dreaming of a day that I'll be free

And every day along about four
But I cry, whoa I cry, till I can cry no more

Get out of my life, leave me alone
Don't write me no letter, don't call me on the phone
Well, I'm trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go

You played a game, I was a fool
When I see you with someone else, I just keep my cool
And now I'm trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go

Well I'm alone now, as long as I could

How many times must I say I love you
How many times must I say I love you, love you
You treat me so cold honey
You opened my nose, honey
And then you laughed, uh huh, uh huh
You made me feel bad, uh huh, uh huh
You made me cry honey
I wanted to die

How many times must I say I'm sorry
How many times must I say I'm sorry, sorry
You treat me so cold honey
You opened my nose honey

You can go, go , go
Cuz I know, know, know
I have found another love to take your place

Down down down came the tears
Since you went away and left me here
But up, up, up went my love, love, love
I have found another love to take your place

Fast, fast, fast went the train
That took you to the arms of another man
But you can go, go, go
Cuz I know, know, know

I can hear the bells are ringing
I can hear the angels singing
My darling has left me
Whoa, somebody please help me
Cause I need someone to show me the way

Whoa, I can hear the people say
As I kneel and start to pray
His darling has left him
Whoa I want to tell you, somebody, somebody, help him
Cuz he needs someone to show him the way, whoa

For at night when I think of you dear

You take a bumble bee and match him with a doorbell, and whatcha got (humdinger)
hear what I say (humdinger)
Whoever threw the whiskey in the bottom of the well, he was a (humdinger)
say what I say now (humdinger)

I saw the boys come from land and a sea, come along just to go and see, to see the (humdinger)
said what I say (humdinger)
Whoa now (humdinger)
Uh - huh - huh

Even though we're apart you're still right here in my heart
Your hands are still in mine, I can still hear you whispering words divine

I can feel your warm embrace, just the thought of it puts a smile upon my face
But my imagination, whoa I said it's so strong, but reality keep assuring me I'm all alone

But now from my lips comes a song, with tears in my eyes,

When you hold me close, honey, you're the most, baby, you set my soul on fire
Ever since I met you, honey I had to get you, you have been my one desire

How could I help but love you with a love so true, you send cold chills down my spine
If we would ever part, it wouldn't be your fault, yeah, it would be all mine

There'll be some slow walkin'
Gonna be some sad talkin'
There'll be some flowers bringin'
Gonna be some sad singin'
Over you, I say over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we're through

There'll be some long black limousines
People peepin' from their window screens
Parade of cars with their headlights on
All of that will be goin' on
Over you, I said over you

( G. Davis, Jr , L. Diamond )

I play the game of the modern romeo but never in my life did I see
A woman as square as a pool table and twice as green
I gave you all of my money and all of my loving too
But now you're goin' around just a telling everybody that I made a fool of you
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above, help me to save your love

( A. Neville )

Too many, too many mornings, gotta wake up soon
Too many, too many mornings, whoa Lord gotta wake up soon
Oh and eat my breakfast by the light of the moon

It was late, very late last summer, when I first got my time
Whoa it was late, very very late last summer you know when I, I first got my time
My buddy got one hundred years, thank the Lord I just got ninety-nine

( G. Davis, Jr )

You said he was just an old acquaintance that you knew a long time ago
I could tell when he held you in his arms, you seemed spellbound by his charms
No need to try, you can't deny, that look in your eyes spelled love, love, love, love
L O V E, L O V E, L O V E was all I saw, it was love, love, love, love
And I used to call you on the telephone

( G. Davis, Jr )

Since you're gone with your guy
I feel as though I want cry
But a man ant supposed to shed a tear
If only you were here (you've gone away baby), if only you were here (you've gone away baby)

If only if you were here I'd lie for you, darling I'd die for you
Please say you're coming home

Since you've gone away
Been working hard while you're at play

(Lee Diamond, George Davis)

There's no need for you to worry about anything
Who can say what the future gonna bring
But if you worry about tomorrow
It will only bring you sorrow

Go out and have a good time
For this world is so fine
Go out and have a good time
This world is so fine
This world is so fine

Hold your head up high
Face the future with a smile
Things'll be better

Is it possible maybe to have a love so strong
That nothing could ever compare
I'm holding back nothing just for the look in your eyes
So baby don't be surprised

Well I want to know what makes your world go round
And I want to hear your voice for the sound
A love that defines all I've had in mind
Now I'm holding back nothing for the look in your eyes
