Subject: Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #37

_____________________________________________________________________________

When you smile, I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you
I'm glad I got to know you
#01)

Happiness is what I long for
Loneliness is why I cry
For you I've made my mind a slave
And now it's up to you
#02)

I looked into the muddy waters and what did I see
I saw a lonely, lonely face just lookin' back at me
Tears in his eyes and a prayer on his lips
And the glove of his lost love at his fingertips
#03)

I love you
I love you
Are you too far above me to hear?
#04)

Oh you carry me through
All of life's little burdens
I'd be lost without you
#05)

You gave me all your love
But I misused it
I never knew how lonely loneliness could be
And now I need you dear as you once needed me
#06)

You know I'm jealous of you
And yet you seem to try
To go out of your way to be unkind
#07)

When we marry, we will have a time you never saw
I will be so happy I will kiss me mother-in-law (phooey)
Children by the dozen in an old tobacco hut
One for every palm tree and coconut (hurry up now)
#08)

I've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone
Yes, winter's comin' on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
#09)

I blocked the path of his retreat
He turned and stepped into the street
A dozen guns spit fire and lead
A moment later he laid dead
#10)

Each night I sit alone and tell myself
That I will fall in love with someone else
I guess I'm wasting time
But I've got to clear my mind
#11)

Come on baby, don't you be shy
You know that I love you, let me tell you why
You got a heart, I know that it's true
I couldn't love you any more than I do
#12)

If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charm
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I found in your arms
#13)

You scare my girl
You eat my cheese
You even drink my wine
I've tried so hard to catch you
But you trick me all the time
#14)

I know I was wrong
But I was just a fool
Too blind to see
You were the only girl for me-e-e
#15)

Stop the game (stop the game)
Got too much to lose (too much to lose)
If you stop me again
That's when we might end
So please don't refuse (please don't refuse)
#16)

And when we're dancin'
It almost feels the same
I've gotta stop myself from whispering your name
#17)

With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide?
At last, we're face to face
And as we kiss through an embrace
#18)

They've forgotten when they were young
And the way they tried to be free
All they say is "this young generation
Is just not the way it used to be"
#19)

The nights when you don't sleep
That whole night you're cryin'
But you can't forget her
Soon you even stop tryin'
#20)

They say a man should never cry
But when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
#21)

If I see you tomorrow
On some street in town
Pardon me if I don't say hello
I belong to another
It wouldn't look so good
To know someone I'm not supposed to know
#22)

Called up some girl I used to know
After I heard her say hello
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you've gone, it happens every day
#23)

Once more I feel your kisses
Once more I know what bliss is
Comes dawn, my darling, you're gone
#24)

She said "no one is better than I"
And I know I'm just an average guy
No football hero or a smooth Don Juan
Got empty pockets, just say I'm a poor man's son
#25)

tie breakers:

If that diamond ring don't shine
He gonna take it to a private eye
And if that private eye can't see
He better not take the ring from me
#TB1)

I have cried so much for you (for you my dear)
I have almost died for you (for you my dear)
I hope you do decide (to be my love)
Then you will realize (that you belong to me)
#TB2)
