Very Best Of Drifters lyrics

Na,na,na,na,na,na late at nite
Na,na,na,na,na,na late at nite

I have counted everyday since you've been away
It seemed like a thousand years
and at na,na,na,na,na,na,late at night
na,na,na,na,na,na late at night
I'll sit and count the tears

I have counted all your lies all your alibis
I'm a guy believes just what he hears
and at na,na,na,na,na,na,late at night

Everybody knows you came with him but another girl caught his eye-ee-eye (I'll take you home)
Now you're sitting there all alone watching them dance by (I'll take you home)
And I know you're wondering what you'll do if he doesn't come back to you
But, don't worry, I'll take you home so, little girl, don't you be blue

Go and find the kind of girl
Who thinks you're the only ..guy in the world
No more half-hearted kisses, that's bad enough
Whoa-oh-oh no more teardrops, no more (one-way love)
No, no more (one-way love)

Don't look for someone who likes to love fast
Ya know that kind of love will never last
If she's fast and furious, aww, that can be tough

(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)

Well, I've got a girl and Ruby is her name (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
She don't love me but I love her just the same (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, Ruby, Ruby, I'm-a want ya
Like a ghost I'm-a gonna haunt ya
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine? (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby baby)

You can dance ev'ry dance with the guy who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile ev'ry smile for the man who held your hand 'neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me mmmm

Oh, I know that the music's fine like sparkling wine go and have your fun

(Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful)

All you have to do is touch my hand
To show that you understand
And something happens to me that's some kind of wonderful

Ev'ry time my little world seems blue
I-I just have to look at you
And everything seems to be some kind of wonderful

Here I stand, watching the tide go outSo all alone and blueJust dreaming dreams of youI watched your ship as it sailed out to seaTaking all my dreamsAnd taking all of me

(Bo-bo, doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(There she goes) (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(There she goes) (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Bo-bo) (doo-doot-doo-doo)
(Bo-bo) (doo-doo-doo-doo)

There goes my baby, movin' on down the line
Wonder where, wonder where, wonder where she is bound?
I broke her heart and made her cry
Now I'm alone, so all alone
What can I do, what can I do?

This magic moment, so different and so newWas like any other until I kissed youAnd then it happened, it took me by surpriseI knew that you felt it too, by the look in your eyes

Oh when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roofAnd your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proofUnder the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeahOn a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now

When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)

(Vaya con dios, my darlin', vaya con dios, vaya con dios, my love)

Now the hacienda is so dark, the town is sleeping
Now the time has come to part, the time for weeping
(Vaya con dios, my darlin', vaya con dios, vaya con dios, my love)

Now the village mission bell's softly ringing (bung, bung, bung)
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear them singing (bung, bung, bung)

AAHHOW
OH OH OH OH OH YEH

YOU'RE MORE THAN A NUMBER IN MY LITTLE RED BOOK
YOU'RE MORE THAN A ONE NIGHT DATE
ALL I HAD TO TAKE ME WAS JUST ONE LOOK
MY HEART BEGAN A THUMPING BABE YOU HAD IT JUMPING

YOU'RE MORE THAN A NUMBER IN MY LITTLE RED BOOK
YOU'RE MORE THAN A ONE NIGHT STAND
IN CASE YOU GET TO THINKING THAT YOU'VE BEEN TOOK
YOU'RE MORE THAN A NUMBER WRITTEN IN MY LITTLE RED BOOK

It's a sin for you to get a mexican divorce

Down below el paso lies juarez
Mexico is different, like a travel folder says
Cross the rio grande and you will find
An old adobe house
Where you leave your past behind

One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me
Takes no time, for you to get
A mexican divorce

As i came into this lonely house last night

Oh, the boardwalk's deserted
There's nobody down by the sho-o-o-o-ore
And the ferris wheel ride isn't turning around any m-o-ore-ore-ore
The heat wave and the crowds are just old new-ooh-ews
But I've still got some sand in my shoes

(Sand in my shoes)
Brings mem'ries of the salty air
(Sand in my shoes)
Whoa-uh-oh-oh the blanket that we used to share
How we fell in love down by the sea-ee

You know, the landlord rang my front door bell--
I let it ring for a long, long spell--
I looked through the window, I peeked through the blind,
And asked him to tell me what was on his mind.
He said, "Money, honey!
Money, honey!
Money, honey,
If you wanna get along with me."

I was cleaned and skinned and so hard-pressed--
I called the woman that I love the best--
