Albert Hammond - It Never Rains in California

 

Seems it never rain in Southern California

Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before

It never rains in California

But girl, don't they warn ya

It pours man it pours.

Out of work, I'm out of my head

Out of self respect I'm out of bread

I'm under loved I'm under fed

I wanna go home

 

The melancholy-ness, the fact everyone lies to you, the fact things are never good or as they should be. Yup. Thats today.

Avril Lavigne - Unwanted

 

All they did was walk over

Start off by shaking your hands

That's how it went

I had a smile on my face

and I sat up straight

 

Oh yeah yeah

I wanted to know you

I wanted to show you

 

~*Chorus*~

 

You don't know me

Don't ignore me

You don't want me there

You just shut me out

You don't know me

Don't ignore me

If you had your way

You'd just shut me up

Make me go away

 

No i just don't understand why you

Wont talk to me it hurts that i'm

So unwanted for nothing don't

Talk words against me

 

I wanted to know you

I wanted to show you

 

~*Chorus*~

You don't know me

Don't ignore me

You don't want me there

You just shut me out

You don't know me

Don't ignore me

If you had your way

You'd just shut me up

Make me go away

 

I tried to belong it didn't seem wrong

My head aches

It's been so long

I write this song, that's what it takes

 

~*Chorus*~

You don't know me

Don't ignore me

You don't want me there

You just shut me out

You don't know me

Don't ignore me

If you had your way

You'd just shut me up

Make me go away

 

~*Chorus*~

You don't know me

Don't ignore me

You don't want me there

You just shut me out

You don't know me

Don't ignore me

If you had your way

You'd just shut me up

Make me go away

Make me go away yeh yeh yeh

Make me go away

 

Only one that came to mind..can't think of anymore at the moment.

Bjork - Innocence, out 23rd July!

 

 

I once had no fears

None at all

And then when

I had some

 

To my surprise

I grew to like both

Scared or Brave

Without them

 

The thrill of fear

Thought I'd never admit it

The thrill of fear

Now greatly enjoyed with courage

 

When I once was

Untouchable

Innocence roared

Still amazes

 

When I once was

Innocent

It's still here

But in different places

 

Neurosis

Only

Attaches

Itself to

Fertile

Ground

Where it can flourish

 

The thrill of fear

Thought I'd never admit it

The thrill of fear

Now greatly enjoyed with courage

 

When I once was

 

Fearless

Innocence roared

Still amazes

 

Untouchable

Innocence

It's still here

But in different places

Fear is a powerful drug

Overcome it and

You think that you can do

Anything!

 

Should I

Save myself

For later

Or generously give?

 

Fear of

Losing

Energy

Is draining

 

It locks up your chest

Shuts down the heart

Miserly

And stingy

Let's open up : share!

 

When I once was

Fearless

Innocence roared

Still amazes

 

Untouchable

Innocence

It's still here

But in different places

Primus - John The Fisherman

 

When he was young you'd not find him doing well in school,

His mind would turn unto the waters.

Always the focus of adolescent ridicule,

He has no time for farmers daughters.

Alienated from the clique society,

A lonely boy finds peace in fishing.

His mother says John this is not the way life's supposed to be.

Dont you see the life that you are missing?

And he says...

When I grow up I want to be,

One of the harvesters of the sea.

I think before my days are done,

I want to be a fisherman.

 

Now years gone by we find the man that rules the sea.

He sets out on a dark may morning.

To bring his catch back to this small community.

He doesn't see the danger dawning.

Four hours up, oh the ocean swelled and swelled,

The fog rolled in it started raining.

The starboard bow, oh my God were going down!

They do not hear his frantic mayday.

And he says

When I grow up I want to be,

One of the harvesters of the sea.

I think before my days are done,

I want to be a fisherman.

I'll live and die a fisherman.

Calling John the Fisherman.

Calling John the Fisherman.

We're calling John the Fisherman.

Hey There Delilah

Hey there Delilah

What's it like in New York City?

I'm a thousand miles away

But girl tonight you look so pretty

Yes you do

Times Square can't shine as bright as you

I swear it's true

 

Hey there Delilah

Don't you worry about the distance

I'm right there if you get lonely

Give this song another listen

Close your eyes

Listen to my voice it's my disguise

I'm by your side

 

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

What you do to me

 

Hey there Delilah

I know times are getting hard

But just believe me girl

Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar

We'll have it good

We'll have the life we knew we would

My word is good

 

Hey there Delilah

I've got so much left to say

If every simple song I wrote to you

Would take your breath away

I'd write it all

Even more in love with me you'd fall

We'd have it all

 

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

 

A thousand miles seems pretty far

But they've got planes and trains and cars

I'd walk to you if I had no other way

Our friends would all make fun of us

and we'll just laugh along because we know

That none of them have felt this way

Delilah I can promise you

That by the time we get through

The world will never ever be the same

And you're to blame

 

Hey there Delilah

You be good and don't you miss me

Two more years and you'll be done with school

And I'll be making history like I do

You'll know it's all because of you

We can do whatever we want to

Hey there Delilah here's to you

This ones for you

 

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

What you do to me.

 

It's so...so...sweet! :smile:

Silverchair - Anthem For The Year 2000

 

We are the youth, we'll take your fascism away.

We are the youth, apologise for another day.

We are the youth, and politicians are so sure.

We are the youth, and we are knocking on death's door.

 

Never knew we were living in a world with a world that could be so sure,

Never knew we were living in a world with a mind that could be so small.

Never knew we were living in a world and the world is an open court,

Maybe we don't want to live in a world where innocence is so short.

Jimmy Eat World - The Middle

 

Hey

Don't write yourself off yet

It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on

Just try your best

Try everything you can

And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away

 

It just takes some time

Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride

Everything everything will be just fine

Everything everything will be all right

 

Hey you know they're all the same

You know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in

Live right now

Ya just be yourself

It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else

 

It just takes some time

Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride

Everything everything will be just fine

Everything everything will be all right

 

Do your best

Do everything you can

Don't you worry what their bitter hearts are going to say

The Fall of Troy - F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X.

 

Slow down this is slippin' through my mind,

This conversation has run out of time.

Honey I know you know what I mean,

And that's the one thing that you soon will find.

 

I know that you really wanna go,

My mind is runnin' outta gas just relax,

And recap, and relapse.

Tonight, my bodies jumpin' and I,

Go through the motions and I'm leaving on this journey,

Maybe someday I'll come running home to you.

 

I don't wanna see the day, my words cannot make it safe.

(Come running home! Come running home!)

Her heart in my hands, it's too bad, no regrets...

I don't wanna see the day, her tears are falling on my grave.

(Come running home! Come running home!)

This is my one chance to take back, no regrets...

 

Let's go! I just wanna let you know,

This situation leaves me outta breath.

We'll drive till the love that's in your eyes,

Drops to the ground and unravels like a thread...

 

I know that you really wanna go,

I only think about her, must get to her, cannot lose her.

You know that I will not let this die,

Life support systems and my mind on

Rewind and rewind and rewind...

 

I don't wanna see the day, my words cannot make it safe.

(Come running home! Come running home!)

Her heart in my hands, it's too bad, no regrets...

I don't wanna see the day, her tears are falling on my grave.

(Come running home! Come running home!)

This is my one chance to take back, no regrets...

 

I don't wanna see the day, my words cannot make it safe.

Her heart in my hands, it's too bad, no regrets...

I don't wanna see the day, her tears are falling on my grave.

This is my one chance (my one chance, my one chance)

The Perishers - Pills

 

I hope my smile

can distract you

I hope my fists

can fight for two

So it never has to show

And you’ll never know

 

I hope my love

can blind you

I hope my arms

can bind you

So you’ll never have to see

What we’ve grown to be

 

One may think

we’re alright

But we need pills

to sleep at night

We need lies

to make it through the day

We’re not ok

 

One may think

we’re doing fine

But if I had to lay it on the line

We’re losing ground

with every passing day

We’re not ok

 

But that’s one thing

I would never

One thing I would never

That’s one thing

I would never say to you

 

 

(its all in the chorus and sounds better being sung all melancholic like)

Let me know that I've done wrong

When I've known this all along

I go around a time or two

Just to waste my time with you

 

Tell me all that you've thrown away

Find out games you don't wanna play

You are the only one that needs to know

 

I'll keep you my dirty little secret

(Dirty little secret)

Don't tell anyone or you`ll be just another regret

(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)

My dirty little secret

Who has to know

 

When we live such fragile lives

It's the best way we survive

I go around a time or two

Just to waste my time with you

 

Tell me all that you've thrown away

find out games you don't wanna play

you are the only one that needs to know

 

I'll keep you my dirty little secret

(Dirty little secret)

Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret

(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)

My dirty little secret

 

Who has to know

The way she feels inside (inside)

Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)

These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie)

And now I try to lie

It's eating me apart

Trace this life out

 

I'll keep you my dirty little secret

(Dirty little secret)

Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret

(Just another regret)

 

I'll keep you my dirty little secret

(Dirty little secret)

Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret

(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)

My dirty little secret

Dirty little secret

Dirty little secret

House Wife's Lament

 

One day I was walking,

I heard a complaining,

I saw a poor woman

The picture of gloom.

She gazed in the mud

On her doorstep (’twas raining),

And this was her song

As she wielded her broom:

 

Chorus:

 

O life is a trial,

And love is a trouble,

Beauty will fade

And riches will flee,

Wages will dwindle

And taxes will double

And nothing is as I

Would wish it to be.â€

 

In March it is mud,

It’s slush in December,

The midsummer breezes

Are loaded with dust.

In fall the leaves litter,

In muddy November

The wallpaper rots

And the candlesticks rust.

 

Chorus:

 

It’s sweeping at six

And i’s dusting at seven,

It’s victuals at eight

And it’s dishes at nine.

It’s potting and panning

From ten to eleven.

We scarce break our fast

Till we plan how to dine.

 

Chorus:

 

Last night in my dreams

I was stationed forever,

On a far distant rock

In the midst of the sea.

My one task of life

Was a ceaseless endeavor,

To brush off the waves

As they swept over me.

He says depressingly;

 

Whatever poison is in this bottle will leave me broken sore and stiff.

But it's the genie at the bottom who I'm sucking at.

He owes me one last wish.

SO HERES A present to let you know I still exist.

I hope the next boy that you kiss has something terribly contagious on his lips.

 

But I got a plan. Drink for forty days and forty nights.

A sip for every second-hand tick.

And for every time you fed me the line,

“you mean so much to me...”. I'm without you.

 

Tell all the English boys you meet about the American boy back in the states.

The American boy you used to date.

Who would do anything you say.

Tell all the English boys you meet about the American boy back in the states.

The American boy you used to date.

Who would do anything you say.

 

And even if her plane crashes tonight she'll find some way to disappoint me,

by not burning in the wreckage, or drowning at the bottom of the sea.

“Jess, I still taste you, thus reserve my right to hate you.”

And all this empty space that you create does nothing for my flawless sense of style.

its 8:45. The weather is getting better by the hour.

I hope it rains there all the time.

And if you ever said you miss me then don't say you never lied.

I'm without you.

 

Tell all the English boys you meet about the American boy back in the states.

Garbage - Bleed Like Me

 

Avalanche is sullen and too thin

She starves herself to rid herself of sin

And the kick is so divine when she sees bones beneath her skin

And she says:

Hey baby can you bleed like me?

C'mon baby can you bleed like me

 

Chris is all dressed up and acting coy

Painted like a brand new Christmas toy

He's trying to figure out if he's a girl or he's a boy

He says:

Hey baby can you bleed like me?

C'mon baby can you bleed like me

 

Doodle takes Dad's scissors to her skin

And when she does relief comes setting in

While she hides the scars she's making underneath her pretty clothes

She sings:

Hey baby can you bleed like me?

C'mon baby can you bleed like me

 

Therapy is Speedie's brand new drug

Dancing with the devil's past has never been too fun

It's better off than trying to take a bullet from a gun

And she cries:

Hey baby can you bleed like me?

C'mon baby can you bleed like me

 

JT gets all fucked up in some karaoke bar

After two drinks he's a loser after three drinks he's a star

Getting all nostalgic as he sings "I Will Survive"

Hey baby can you bleed like me?

C'mon baby can you bleed like me

Hey baby can you bleed like me?

Oh, c'mon baby can you bleed like me

 

You should see my scars

You should see my scars

You should see my scars

You should see my scars

 

And try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend

Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend

Just try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend

Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend

 

You should see my scars

You should see my scars

Go on and close the curtains

'Cos all we need is candlelight

You and me and bottle of wine

Gonna hold you tonight

Now I know I'm going away

And how I wish that I could stay

So take this wine and drink with me

And let's delay our misery

Save tonight

And fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow

And it burns like me for you

Last Years Man

 

The rain falls down on last years man,

That's a jews harp on the table,

That's a crayon in his hand.

And the corners of the blueprint are ruined since they rolled

Far past the stems of thumbtacks

That still throw shadows on the wood.

 

And the skylight is like skin for a drum Ill never mend

And all the rain falls down amen

On the works of last years man.

 

_

I met a lady, she was playing with her soldiers in the dark

Oh one by one she had to tell them

That her name was joan of arc.

I was in that army, yes I stayed a little while;

I want to thank you, joan of arc,

For treating me so well.

 

And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight;

All these wounded boys you lie beside,

Goodnight, my friends, goodnight.

 

_

I came upon a wedding that old families had contrived;

Bethlehem the bridegroom,

Babylon the bride.

Great babylon was naked, oh she stood there trembling for me,

And bethlehem inflamed us both

Like the shy one at some orgy.

 

And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil

That I had to draw aside to see

The serpent beat it's tail.

 

_

Some women wait for jesus, and some women wait for cain

So I hang upon my altar

And I hoist my axe again.

And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began

When jesus was the honeymoon

And cain was just a man.

 

And we read from pleasant bibles that are bound in blood and skin

That the wilderness is gathering

All its children back again.

 

_

The rain falls down on last years man,

An hour has gone by

And he has not moved his hand.

But everything will happen if he only gives the word;

The lovers will rise up

And the mountains touch the ground.

 

But the skylight is like skin for a drum Ill never mend

And all the rain falls down amen

On the works of last years man.

Arctic Monkeys - Only Ones Who Know

 

In a foreign place, the saving grace was the feeling,

That it was a heart that he was stealing,

Oh he was ready to impress and the fierce excitement,

The eyes are bright he couldnt wait to get away,

I bet the juliet was just the icing on the cake,

Make no mistake no,

 

And even if somehow we could have shown you the place you wanted,

 

Well I'm sure you could have made it that bit better on your own,

And I bet she told a million people that she'd stay in touch,

Well all the little promises they dont mean much,

When theres memories to be made,

And I hope you're holding hands by new years eve,

They made it far too easy to believe,

That true romance cant be acheived these days,

 

And even if somebody could have shown you the place you wanted,

Well I sure you could have made it that bit better on your own,

You are the only ones who know...

Wyclef Jean feat. The Rock - It Doesn't Matter

 

Yo this is the Rock kicking it with the Refugee camp

And you're bout to smell what the Rock is cooking

 

Yo this is strictly a club record

Dedicated to everybody who used to stand outside in the cold

When the LFEX was spinning at the Red Zone

Putting it down

And the tired bouncers would not let me in

Know what I'm saying?

 

Yo, yo, yo, yo

I got fifty Bentley's in the West Indies

(It doesn't matter)

I got a pocket full of cheese and a garden full of trees

(It doesn't matter)

I just won the bingo bought a crib in Rio

(It doesn't matter)

Cause if you ain't sharing, people ain't caring

Come up in the hood and take everything you're wearing

 

Back in the days it was all about the clubs

And the so-called thugs used to dance the break for love

The girls, they wouldn't say HEY!

Unless you bought them champagne like it was their birthday

Me I used to hustle my way in

I'm on the guest list plus five!

Who's performing tonight?

He said Shabba

Mister Lover that be needy and selective

(Someone jump The Rock's up in here)

Disrespect emcees and catch a smack in your left ear

Light up like Vegas when its time to gamble

Girls scream for me like I was part of the Beatles

But I'm not honey

But I could be your Paul McCartney

An ebony or ivory into my Jacuzzi

Foundation like Cool Hirth as DJ Red Alert go berserk

The needle ain't skip the record jerked

Cause y'all jumpin' too hard

(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

 

I got fifty Bentley's in the West Indies

(It doesn't matter)

I got a pocket full of cheese and a garden full of trees

(It doesn't matter)

What? I just won the bingo bought a crib in Rio

(It doesn't matter)

Yo cause if you ain't sharing, people ain't caring

Come up in the hood and take everything you're wearing

Yo Rock I just bought a fresh Bentley

(It doesn't matter you just bought a fresh Bentley)

 

How many of y'all ever been to a barbecue

And you always got an Uncle Juan that wanna show you

How all the dances go

And they start it off like this

Electric side on the dance floor

Freaky-deaky like Studio 54

GIRLS!! Until the IRS raids it

Drug money get converted into music

The dope man becomes an entertainer

Leave that crack alone!

I told the customers

I'm into bigger and better things Mr. Fiend

You want a hit?

Give me a guitar and a drum machine

And the crowd will scream loud when the bass thump

I can smell it in the air, the smell is funk

Excuse me I gotta cough

Girl you in so much ice you could freeze New York

You're man must really love you

What does he do for a living?

(He works on Wall Street he's only home two nights a week)

That's when she said a little too much conversation

I think she want to indulge in lyrical masturbation

So I proceeded with the compensation, I said

Can I offer you a glass of Merrill Mrs. No Name?

(Let's get it straight huh, my name's Veronica)

She had the ass the size of South America

She said ain't you that kid that sing Guantanamera

Way before Ricky Martin started Livin' La Vida Loca

What hood you come from?

I was raised in Brooklyn, but did my studies in Jerusalem

The New Jerusalem yeah that's short for New Jersey

Checked my watch it was a quarter to three

Slid to her crib when we opened the door

Her man was on the bottle waiting for her with the 44

 

Now what it look like, it ain't really that

(It doesn't matter)

So he cocked the gat at my top hat

(It doesn't matter)

Are you crazy? You was married!

(It doesn't matter)

Cause if you ain't sharing, people ain't caring

Come up in your hood and take everything you're wearing

 

Yeah that's when shorty walked up to her man

And she said I gotta go I can't be here no more

And she said this

 

Take me home, to the place

I belong at the Refugee Camp

And the Booga basement

That's where I live, oh

 

Come on

Yo Rock I sold like seventeen million records

(It doesn't matter how many records you've sold)

Alright I'm with, yo check it out

You wanna go get diamond rings

(It doesn't matter if the Rock wants to go get diamond rings or not)

Man listen, listen

I just got two new Grammy's man

(It doesn't matter about your Grammy's)

 

It doesn't matter!

 

Song fecking takes me back, man. Takes me BACK!

Posted

I read you and God I'm good at it I'm so spot on

Chord shapes in air go press that dissonance if you dare

And you breathing in finesse an innocent

From her partying

 

And I'm high enough from all the waiting

To ride a wave on your inhaling

And I'm high enough from all the waiting

To ride a wave on your inhaling

'Cause I love you no?

Can't help but love, you know...

 

What part of no don't you understand I've told you before

To just get off my case this isn't happening stop this now

And I where was I? I have to be somewhere

Now where did I put it?

 

And I'm high enough from all the waiting

To ride a wave on your inhaling

And I'm high enough from all the waiting

To ride a wave on your inhaling

'Cause I love you no?

Can't help but love you, no...

 

Is this it is this it is this it?

 

Yes hello we're back and we're taking calls

Now what was the question?

 

And I'm high enough from all the waiting

To ride a wave on your inhaling

And I'm high enough from all the waiting

To ride a wave on your inhaling

'Cause I love you no?

Can't help but love you, no...

In The Ghetto

 

As the snow flies

On a cold and gray chicago mornin

A poor little baby child is born

In the ghetto

And his mama cries

cause if theres one thing that she dont need

Its another hungry mouth to feed

In the ghetto

 

People, dont you understand

The child needs a helping hand

Or hell grow to be an angry young man some day

Take a look at you and me,

Are we too blind to see,

Do we simply turn our heads

And look the other way

 

Well the world turns

And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

In the ghetto

 

And his hunger burns

So he starts to roam the streets at night

And he learns how to steal

And he learns how to fight

In the ghetto

 

Then one night in desperation

A young man breaks away

He buys a gun, steals a car,

Tries to run, but he dont get far

And his mama cries

 

As a crowd gathers round an angry young man

Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

In the ghetto

 

As her young man dies,

On a cold and gray chicago mornin,

Another little baby child is born

In the ghetto

Turn it inside out so I can see

The part of you that's drifting over me

And when I wake you're never there

But when I sleep you're everywhere

You're everywhere

 

Just tell me how I got this far

Just tell me why you're here and who you are

'Cause every time I look

you're never there

And every time I sleep

you're always there

 

'Cause you're everywhere to me

And when I close my eyes it's you I see

You're everything I know

that makes me believe

I'm not alone

I'm not alone

 

I recognize the way you make me feel

It's hard to think that

you might not be real

I sense it now, the water's getting deep

I try to wash the pain away from me

Away from me

 

'Cause you're everywhere to me

And when I close my eyes it's you I see

You're everything I know

that makes me believe

I'm not alone

I'm not alone

 

I am not alone

Whoa, oh, oooh, oh

 

And when I touch your hand

It's then I understand

The beauty that's within

It's now that we begin

You always light my way

I hope there never comes a day

No matter where I go

I always feel you so

 

'Cause you're everywhere to me

And when I close my eyes it's you I see

You're everything I know

that makes me believe

I'm not alone

'Cause you're everywhere to me

And when I catch my breath

it's you I breathe

You're everything I know

that makes me believe

I'm not alone

 

You're in everyone I see

So tell me

Do you see me?

All this talk of getting old

It's getting me down my love

Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown

This time I'm comin' down

 

And I hope you're thinking of me

As you lay down on your side

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

But I know I'm on a losing streak

'Cause I passed down my old street

And if you wanna show, then just let me know

And I'll sing in your ear again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too

Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

 

All this talk of getting old

It's getting me down my love

Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown

This time I'm comin' down

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too

Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

 

But if you wanna show, just let me know

And I'll sing in your ear again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

 

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down

No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

I'm never coming down, I'm never going down

No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

Andy Williams - You're Just Too Good to be True

 

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

And 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

So if you feel like I feel

Please let me know that it's real

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

 

I love you baby and if it's quite all right

I need you baby to warm the lonely nights

I love you baby, trust in me when I say

Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray

 

Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay

And let me love you baby, let me love you

 

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

And I thank God I'm alive

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

 

 

 

 

 

Classic!
