When I look into your big brown eyes
It's so very plain to see
#01)
We'll settle down in a bamboo hut
And he will be my own little coconut
Then we'll be beachcombin' royalty
#02)
Without a warning
You broke my heart
You took it, darling
And you tore it apart
#03)
When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can't do no wrong
#04)
Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sigh
#05)
You changed like night and day
Just upped and walked away
When she came along
#06)
Alone and far away from home
A boy stands in a foreign land
Lonely is he, and in the dark he wipes away a tear
#07)
Wait until the war is over
And we're both a little older
#08)
If you want him to be
The very part of you
Make you want to breathe
Here's the thing to do
#09)
Hey, baby
Could you maybe
Have some love for me?
If you think so
Then, well, I'll know
All my possibilities
#10)
Through these walls so thin
I hear my neighbors when
They say "She don't love him, she don't love him"
They say my heart's in danger
'Cause you're leaving me
For the love of a stranger
#11)
Gee, girl
Why can't I make you see, girl?
Just what you mean to me, girl
Then you would know I'd never go away without you
#12)
On your mark (on your mark)
Get set (get set)
Now ready (ready)
Go!
#13)
Compliments to you
From all the people we meet
#14)
I see you standin' in the alleys and the hallways (wait a second!)
You're gone now
I run to touch you but you vanish through the doorways
#15)
That my four little children will not come up
In the same young days that I came up within
But they will be judged on the basis of the content of their character
Not the color of their skin
#16)
And as I take your hand
Say that you'll be mine tonight
#17)
Well, I guess I've had my day
And you let me go my way
Now it's me who has to pay
#18)
He said, you'd be surprised at the things you do now
That you're still gonna do
Oh, but you will
#19)
A long time ago, now, now sweet thing
I made a big mistake, honey
I say, I said goodbye (bye-bye, bye-bye, bye)
#20)
It's a light and tumble journey
From the East Side to the Park
Just a fine and fancy ramble
#21)
You gotta hug 'em (hug 'em)
Then you kiss 'em (kiss 'em)
You gotta love 'em (love 'em)
Then you miss them (miss them)
#22)
The childhood part of my life wasn't very pretty
See, I was born and raised in the slums of a city
It was a one-room shack that slept ten other children beside me
We hardly had enough food or room to sleep
#23)
To hear her say
"Darling, I do"
#24)
The roses all have left your cheek
I watched them fade away and die
Your voice is sad when you speak
And tears bedim your lovin' eyes
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
Wearin' pearls and a diamond ring
Got bracelets on her arm and ever'thing
#T1)
I've been watching you for days, now, baby
I just love your sexy ways, now, baby
You know my love will never stop, now, baby
Just put your lovin' in my box, baby
#T2)
