20 Greatest Hits-Live lyrics

O Connie, O Connie,
I miss you so.
Where have you gone to?
O Connie O
My Connie
O Connie O

My darling, my darling,
What changed your mind?
My heart is broken,
I'm hurting so,
My Connie O.

Wasn't it yesterday I held you tight?
Why did you run away just before our wedding night?

O Connie, O Connie,
I miss you so.
Where have you gone to?
O Connie O
My Connie
O Connie O

CHORUS
My eyes adored ya
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored ya
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored ya
So close, so close and yet so far

Carried your books from school
Playin' "make-believe you're married to me"
You were fifth-grade, I was sixth
When we came to be
Walkin' home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay

Oh, what a night.
Late December back in '63.
What a very special time for me,
'Cause I remember what a night.

Oh, what a night.
You know, I didn't even know her name,
But I was never gonna be the same.
What a lady. What a night.

Oh, I. I got a funny feeling when she walked
In the room and I,
As I recall it ended much too soon.

Oh, what a night,
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me.

Oh don't it hurt deep inside
To see someone do something to her
Oh don't it pain to see someone cry
How especially if that someone is her

Silence is golden, but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still see

Talking is cheap people follow like sheep
Even though there is no where to go
How could she tell he decieved her so well
Pity she'll be the last one to know

Livin' (livin') is dyin' (dyin') 'cause love you left me cryin'.
Now there's no use tryin' to go on.
Each night and day baby.
Pretendin' there'll be a happy endin'.
Burning down deep inside.
Got a heart break that I can't hide.

I'm not the proud one.
I need you.
I'm beggin' to you baby please.
You're the proud one.
Believe me.
This big man is down on his knees.
Baby please.

Repeat 8x
(You're ready now)

When I met you, you were too young,
to hang around where the groupies hung,
to swing and dance where the swingers swung,

Well you're ready now, mmmm you're ready now,
You're ready now, girl, you're ready now.

You grew up fast like over-night,
you sure have changed, girl, you're out of sight,
you wanna swing and dance all night,

You're just too good to be true;
Can't take my eyes off of you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch;
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived,
I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true;
Can't take my eyes off of you.

Pardon the way that I stare:
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak;
There are no words left to speak.

Oh, what a night
Late December back in sixty-three
What a very special time for me
As I remember what a night.

Oh, what a night
You know I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night.

Oh I, I got a funny feelin' when she walked in the room
Yeah my, as I recall it ended much too soon.

Oh, what a night
Hypnotizin', mesmerizing me

I solve my problems and I see the light
We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger we can go to far
We start believing now that we can be what we are

Grease is the word

They think our love is just a growing pain
Why don't they understand, It's just a crying shame
Their lips are lying only real is real
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what feel

I solve my problems and I see the light
We gotta plug and think, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger we can go too far
We start believing now that we can be who we are

Grease is the word

They think our love is just a growing pain
Why don't they understand? It's just a crying shame.
Their lips are lying, only real is real
We stop the fight right now we got to be what we feel

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so far away

Carried your books from school,
Playing make-believe you're married to me:
You were fifth grade, I was sixth
When we came to be
Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay,

Our day will come and we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy falling in love can bring.
No one can tell me that I'm too young to know;
I love you so and you love me.
Our day will come if we just wait a while.
No tears for us, think love and wear a smile.
Our dreams have magic because we'll always stay
In love this way, our day will come.

Swearin' to god
There's no one else on earth I'd rather be
Mmmmmm, Swearin' to god
You made me see, so I believed in you
Oh, you've been fillin' my cup
Til' I'm runnin' over with joy
From you heaven sent love
Just touch me again
I'm king of all men and reigning from above

Swearin' to god (swearin' to god)
Your mistress of the world and all I am
(Don't tell the angels)

If you hate me after what I say
Can't put it off any longer
I just gotta tell you anyway

Bye bye baby, baby good-bye
(Bye baby, baby bye bye)
Bye bye baby, baby don't make me cry
(Bye baby, baby bye bye)

You're the one girl in town I'd marry
Girl I'd marry you now if I were free
I wish it could be

I could love you but why begin it
Cause there ain't any future in it

Loneliness is the coat you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
Tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Baby

Emptiness is the place you're in
Nothing to lose, but no more to win

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
Tears are always clouding your eyes

Oh I can see there ain't no room for me
You're only holding out your heart in sympathy
If there's another man, then girl I understand
Go on and take his hand and don't you worry bout me

I'll be blue and I'll be crying too
But girl you know I only want what's best for you
What good is all my pride if our true love has died
Go on and be his bride and don't you worry bout me
