You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness
Like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby
I know it

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa...

Now there's no welcome look
In your eyes when I reach for you
And now you're starting to
Criticize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying, baby
'Cause baby,
Something beautiful is dying

LyricsYou lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa

Baby, baby,
I get down on my knees
And pray to you
If you would only love me
Like you used to do

We had a love, a love,
A love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't
Don't let it slip away

Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, whoa...

You've lost the lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost the lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone

Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone

When this old world
Starts a getting me down
And people are just too much
For me to face
I'll 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
Don't bother me,
Let me tell you now
When I come home
Feeling tired and beat
I'll go up
Where the air is fresh and sweet
I'll get far away
From the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise
Down in the street

LyricsOn the roof,
That's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish
To make it so
Let's go up on the roof
Look at those stars darlin'

At night the stars
They put on a show for free
And, darling,
You can share it all with me
I keep on telling you
That right smack dab
In the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble proof

And if this world
Starts a getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof
Way up on the roof


. . .



I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy
With the gold cap tooth
She's got a pad down at 34th and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion #9

I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm
And she made a magic sign
She said
"Whatcha need is
A bottle of Love Potion #9"
She bent down and turned around
And gave me a wink
She said I'm gonna make it up
Right here in the sink
It smelled like turpentine
And looked like India ink
I held my nose
I closed my eyes
LyricsI took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissing everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop
Down at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of
Love Potion #9

She bent down and turned around
And gave me a wink
She said I'm gonna make it up
Right here in the sink
It smelled like turpentine
And looked like India ink
I held my breath and closed my eyes
I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop
Down on 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9
Love Potion #9

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moments pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sight?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night
Meets the the morning sun?
I'd like to know if your love
Is love I can be sure of

So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow?


. . .



You know I can be found
Sitting home all alone,
If you can't come around,
At least please telephone
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true

Baby, if I made you mad
For something I might have said,
Please, let's forget the past
The future looks bright ahead
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true

I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of

Don't stop thinking of me
Don't make me feel this way
Come on over here and love me
You know what I want you to say
Lyrics
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Why should we be apart?
I really really love you baby,
Cross my heart

Let's walk up to the preacher
And let us both say I do
Then you'll know you'll have me
And I'll know I'll have you too

Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true

I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of
Don't be cruel To a heart that's true
Don't you be cruel
To a heart that's true
Don't you be cruel
To a heart that's true

There she was
Just a-walkin' down the street
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Poppin' her fingers
And shufflin' her feet,
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
She looked good,
She looked fine,
She looked good, she looked fine
And I nearly lost my mind.

Before I knew it
She was walkin' next to me.
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
She took my hand
Just as natural as can be,
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
LyricsWe walked on,
To my door,
We walked on to my door,
Then we kissed a little more

I knew we were falling in love
I told her all the things
That I'd been dreamin' of
Now we're together
Nearly every single day,
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
We're so happy
And that how we're gonna stay,
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
I'm hers
She's mine
Well I'm hers, she's mine
Wedding bells are gonna chime

I knew we were falling in love,
I told her all the things
That I'd been dreamin' of.
We're togther
Nearly every single day
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
And we're so happy
And that how we're gonna stay
Singin'
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do

I'm hers
She's mine
I'm hers, she's mine
Wedding bells are gonna chime
Do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do

I,
I who have nothing I,
I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one
With nothing to give you darlin'
But, oh
I love you

He,
He buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But, believe me, dear, when I say
That he can give you the world
But he'll never love the way
I love you

He can take you any place he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you
With my nose pressed up against
LyricsThe window pane
I love you I

I who have nothing I
I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms
Of somebody else
When, darling, it's I
Who loves you
I love you
I love you
I who have nothing

Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I'm going back
To find some peace of mind
In San Jose

L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week maybe two,
They'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years
How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas

You can really breathe in San Jose
They've got a lot of space
There'll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
LyricsI'm going back
To find some peace of mind
In San Jose

Fame and fortunes a magnet
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart
You are never alone
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away

I got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?

L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week maybe two
They'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years
How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas

I got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Can't wait to get back home
To San Jose


. . .



Don't make me over
Now that I can't
Make it without you
Don't make me over
I wouldn't change
One thing about you

Don't pick on the things
I say,
The things I do
Just love me with all my faults,
The way that I love you
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Now that I'd do anything for you
Don't make me over
Now that you know how I adore you

Just take me inside your arms
And hold me tight
LyricsAnd always be by my side,
If I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me
At your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do

Just take me inside your arms
And hold me tight
And always be by my side,
Even if I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
No, don't make me over
Now that
You've got me at your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do
Accept me for what I am babe
Accept me for the things I do

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do

When you were a little girl
You had a rag doll
The only doll you've ever owned
Now I love you
Just the way you loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown

And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper baby, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day
Do I love you my, oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby
Baby, baby, baby

When you were a young girl
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful
As that puppy
LyricsYou know I'll never let you down

Cause it goes on and on
Like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby
And heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby
As it grows

Do I love you my, oh my
River deep, mountain high
And if I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby
Baby, baby, baby

I love you baby
Like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby
Like a robin loves to sing
And I love you baby
Like a schoolboy loves his pi
And I love you baby
River deep, mountain high

Do I love you my, oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby
Baby, baby, baby

When I'm feeling blue,
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
And then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me,
I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing
In my ear
Wouldn't you agree
Baby you and me
Got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love

Anytime you want to
You can turn me on to
Anything you want to
Anytime at all
When I taste your lips,
Ooh I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldn't you agree
LyricsBaby you and me
We got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love

I love you
I love you
I love you it's true
When I'm feeling blue,
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
And then I'm not so blue
When I'm in your arms,
Nothing seems to matter
If the whole world could shatter,
I don't care

Wouldn't you agree
Baby you and me
We got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one,
It's never seen the sun
It only comes out
When the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming

It's growing in the street
Right up through the concrete
Soft and dreamin'

I found a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal
That look down in my soul
And starts a fire there
And then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon

I'm going to pick that rose
LyricsAnd watch her as she grows
In my garden

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one,
It's never seen the sun
It only comes out
When the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
I'm going to pick that rose
And watch her as she grows
In my garden


. . .



If you wanted that star
That shines so brightly
To match the stardust in your eyes
Darling,
I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the sky

I would give
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

If you needed the dream
To keep you smilin'
I'd tell the sandman you were blue
And I'd ask him
To keep that sand a-pilin'
Until your dreams had all come true
LyricsAnd I would give
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

If you wanted a love to last forever
Then I would send my love your way
And my love'd not only last forever
But forever and a day
'Cause I would give
Sweets for my sweet,
sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go


. . .



Tonight's the night I've waited for
Because you're not a baby anymore
You've turned into the prettiest girl
I've ever seen
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen

What happened to that funny face
My little tomboy
Now wears satin and lace
I can't believe my eyes
You're just a teenage dream
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen

When you were only six
You had a big brother
Then when you were ten
You didn't like each other
When you were thirteen
You were my funny valentine
But since you've grown up
Your future is sewn up
LyricsFrom now on you're gonna be fine

So if I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up
Before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl
I've ever seen
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen

If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up
Before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl
I've ever seen
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen

Happy Birthday sweet sixteen
Sha la la la la la la la la
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen
Sha la la la la la la la la
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen
Sha la la la la la la la la
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen
Sha la la la la la la la la
Happy Birthday sweet sixteen

Each night we meet and talk about you
We reminisce about the things
You used to do
We just sit around broken hearted
'Cause all of us are still in love with you

Oh, yes we're ten lonely guys
With ten broken hearts
We thought your lies were true
Yes we're ten lonely guys
With tears in our eyes
Ten lonely guys who still love you

Eddie was the first one to hold you
Jerry was the first to taste your kiss
Then came Lackie, Stan, Richie,
Neil, Bobby, Wes, and Cliff
And Larry was the last one on your list

Oh, yes we're ten lonely guys
With ten broken hearts
LyricsWe thought your lies were true
Yes we're just ten lonely guys
With tears in our eyes
Ten lonely guys who still love you

The footsteps at the door
Can mean just one thing
Someone else has been a fool for you
One more guy who wants to tell his story
One more guy
Who knows what we've been through

Oh, yeah we're ten lonely guys
With ten broken hearts
We thought your lies were true
Yes we're just ten lonely guys
With tears in our eyes
And tonight we'll set a chair
For someone new


. . .



You can dance-every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye,
And let him hold you tight
You can smile, every smile for the man
Who held your hand
Beneath the candle light
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me

Oh, I know that the music's fine
Like sparklin' wine,
Go and have your fun
Laugh and sing,
But when we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me

Baby don't you know I love you so
LyricsCan't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you oh so much

You can dance, go and carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks, if you're all alone
Can he take you home
You better tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
And you better save the last dance for me

Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
