The Road Is Rocky: Complete Studio Masters 1956-1971 lyrics

Well look-a here baby

You've been playin' up to me

But, we both know that it just can't be

You told me that you loved me

But now I can see
That's a-where you told an f-i-b (Rock!)

Well now givin' me that sweet talk

A-changed my mind

'Cause I just found you out in the nick of time

You told me that you wanted me to be your turtle dove

Yes I love baby, well-ah, I really love ya
Yes I love baby, well-ah, I really love ya
Yes I love baby, well-ah, I really love ya
Wop, wop, wop-wop-wop
Well you say that you love me
But you know it’s not true
Anything for you baby, I would do
My love, my life, I’d give you my all
If for only me you’d fall..all...all
Yes I love baby, well-ah, I really love ya

Woman love, hey hey hey, woman love, hey hey
Woman love, hey hey hey, woman love, hey hey

Well I went to my good doctor not so long ago
A-walkin’ in a circle and moanin’ low
He looked at me and said, good lord above, son,
You need a vaccination of a-woman love.

Well I’m lookin’ for a woman with a one track mind

(Won't you) Wear my ring on your finger

Wear my love within your heart

And say you'll always be

As much in love with me as at the start.

(Won't you) Wear my ring on your finger

And make this solemn vow

That you'll will always be

As much in love with me as you are now.

And when we're old and we're grey

We'll still have this day

I’m all alone, so come on home baby, right now
(come-on home) right now (come-on home)
I’m all alone, so come on home baby, right now
(come-on home) right now (come-on home)
Well, now don’t fool around
Honey, don’t you let me down, come on home
(come-on home) come on home (come-on home)

I want a thrill, I need a chill baby, right now

Well I’ve led an evil life, so they say
But I’ll out run the devil on judgement day, I said
Move, hot-rod, move man!
Move, hot-rod, move man!
Move hot-rod, move me on down the the line, oh yeah!

Well me and the devil, at a stop light
He started rollin’, I was out of sight, I said
Move, hot-rod, move man!
Move, hot-rod, move man!

Oh, I got a gal and her name is jane
All the kids call her "couldn’t tame"
Always boppin’ ’round the town
Every bit all of her pound

She jumps giggles and shouts, go!
Jumps, giggles and shouts, go!
Jumps, giggles and shouts, go!
Jumps, giggles and shouts, go!
Jumps, giggles and shouts
(jump, cliff, jump jump)

Oh, I got a girl and her name is lizzy

Important words
That mean a lot
They say, say
I love you.

Important words
That’s all I’ve got
They say, say
I love you.

The days, the nights, the hours
We spent makin’ plans
Have made both of us feel the same
Since we first held hands...

Important words
They say I love you
They say, say
I do

(important words)
That say I love you
They say, say
I do

You took away my lovely dreams
But I don’t need those things at all
You took away the kisses that I love
You took away most everything
But I don’t miss one single thing
But i, I sure miss you

I miss you every morning
I miss you every night
I miss you most of all when
I wanna be loved just right
You took away most everything
But I don’t miss one single thing

Wa-wo wa-wo-wa, wa-wo wa-wo-wa
Wa-wo wa-wo-wa, wa-wo wa-wo-wa
Wa-wo wa-wo-wa, wa-wo wa-wo-wa

Well, I got baby, she’s still in her teens (wa-wo wa-wo-wa)
I got a baby, man she’s a real hep queen (wa-wo wa-wo-wa)
I got a baby, she so good to me (wa-wo wa-wo-wa)

I got a baby (I got a baby), sweet baby (I got a baby)
I got a baby (I got a baby), sweet baby (I got a baby)

Well ... hold me baby, hold me baby
Hold me baby, hold me baby
Hold me baby, hold your love for me

But, rock rock, rock a baby
Rock rock, rock a baby
Rock rock, rock a baby
Rock rock, rock a baby
Rock me baby, rock me all night long (rock, baby, rock)

Yeah, hug me baby, hug me baby
Hug me baby, hug me baby
Hug me baby, hug me all the time

But, rock rock, rock a baby
Rock rock, rock a baby

Gotta tell you baby, everything’s alright
Well I told you baby, where I was last night
But no matter what I say baby, you can’t see the light
Gotta tell you baby, promises I kept
Well, I told you baby, sorta step by step
But no matter what I say baby, I’ll live without your help.

Gonna back up baby and start all over again
Gonna back up baby and start all over again

(eddie cochran starts background) well-oh, well-oh wop, whip-whip-whip
Well-oh, well-oh wop, whip-whip-whip
Well-oh, well-oh wop, whip-whip-whip
Well-oh, well-oh wop, whip-whip-whip
Well-oh, well-oh wop, whip-whip-whip
Well-oh, well-oh wop, whip-whip-whip
Well-oh, well-oh wop, whip-whip-whip
Well-oh, well-oh wop, whip-whip-whip
Well-oh, well-oh wop, whip-whip-whip

Flea brain, (flea brain) hop-hop-hop
Flea brain, (flea brain) a-rock-rock-rock
Flea brain, she’s got a hole in her head
If she wasn’t good lookin’, she’d be better off dead.

There’s a brand new lassie moved in down the block
She’s got a classy chassy and she knows how to rock
Stacked just right from her head to her shoe

(one day, two days, three, four, five)
A-that’s how long that she’s been gone
And that’s a long time
Five days, five days
Since you walked out the door
Won’t you please come home
I couldn’t stand five more

Well the first day after she left me
I laughed and told my friends
That he’d be back before
The sun is settin’ low again
Five days, five days

Cruisin', lookin' for my gal

I'm cruisin', goin' don't know where

I'm cruisin', lookin' for my gal

I'm cruisin' for to bruise him bad
That man with her is gonna get

Cruisin', got to find my gal

I'm cruisin', goin' here and there

I'm cruisin', got to find my gal

I'm cruisin' for to fight that man

With her will have tonight. (Cruise!)

Crusin', ought to find my cat

Cat man’s a-coming, you better look out
Cat man’s a-comin’, running about
Cat man’s a-comin’, lookin’ for a girl
Better hide your sister man!

"c" is for the crazy hairdo that he wears around
"a" is for the arms, that he’ll sneak around your waist
"t" is for the taste of lips belong to you
Cat man, cat man!

(talking intro by dickie and wee willie:)
"hey cat, where are ya goin’ man? "
"man, I’m going down to bop street"
"tell me cat, where’s that di-rection? "
"man, ain’t you heard? they got one of ’em in every town"
"real cool"

Ba-a-op street, ba-a-op street

Well, we’re gonna dance in the street tonight
Well now dance in the street tonight
We’re gonna dance to the beat to the heart of the sweet
We’re gonna dance in the street tonight

Well, we’re gonna find a street that’s-a hard to use
Cars in a circle and I’ll kick off my shoes
Turn on the radio and leave on the light

My friends tried to tell me, but they were too late, yeah

What a fool I was to fall for your bait, yeah

You drive me crazy, kiss-a-me baby, I don't mean maybe

Double talkin' baby, please make up your mind

Oh-oh-oh-oh, first you said you would, if you just could, yeah

Then you said you could if you just would, yeah

You drive me crazy, kiss me baby, I don't mean maybe

(Walkin'...walkin'...walkin', ah-ah)

(Walkin'...walkin'...walkin', ah-ah)

Step by step, street by street

Talkin' to all the friends we meet
Step by step, street by street

Talkin' to all the friends we meet

Honey, won't you tell me when

Baby, we can meet again

It's been such fun, walkin' home from school with you

Baby, I have to let you know-oh

Well I heard John say, "Man, she's my gal"

I heard another say, "Man, she my pal"

Well John jumped up, then he screamed

"Well-she's may gal, man, and that I mean"

Well, who-who, who slapped John?

Who-who, who slapped John?

Baby, who slapped John when the lights went low-oh?

Who-who, who slapped John?
