----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend
If it makes you feel all right
#01)
I keep straining my ears to hear a sound
Maybe someone is digging underground
#02)
With music and words I've been playing
For you I have written a song
To be sure that you'll know what I am saying
I'll translate as I go along
#03)
You'd better be smart
You've gotta make up your mind
Stop breaking my heart
And leave the others behind
#04)
I couldn't sleep a wink for tryin'
I saw the rising of the sun
And all night long my heart was cryin'
#05)
Well, I been a-doing my homework all week long
And now the house is empty and my folks are gone
#06)
Why I want you
Heaven knows
Who will love you
With a love true
#07)
She's my sugartime baby
I'm her lollipop
#08)
Everybody knows
That Baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
#09)
I've been made blue
I've been lied to
#10)
Yeah, today is gonna, gonna be the day
I want you all to understand
Now I am a man
#11)
When idle gossip pulls your arm
And the clouds of doubt begin to form
#12)
And when our year has ended
And I have gone away
You'll often speak about me
#13)
Climbed up on a ladder
To get a better view
And bless my soul to my surprise
My darling, it was you
#14)
Meet the gang at Joe's Café
If she's willing
We'll go steady right away
#15)
A wailin' song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand
#16)
Thought I was in love before
And then you moved in next door
#17)
And when we've had a few more days (when we've had a few more days)
I wonder if I'll get to say (wonder if I'll get to say)
#18)
I love your face (it's in the right place)
I love your mind (that's very kind)
#19)
Now, Samson told Delilah
Loud and clear
Keep your cotton-pickin' fingers out my curly hair
Oh, yeah
#20)
To really live, you must almost die
And it happened just that way with me
#21)
Win a little
Lose a little
And maybe sing the blues a little
#22)
Your kisses taste like it's goodbye
My eyes know they're gonna cry
#23)
Please write me one line
Tell me your love is still only mine
#24)
I'm writing this letter
To someone unknown
So if you should find it
And if you're alone
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
-------------
He resembles George Harrison of the Beatles
But he wears his hair tied in a small bow at the back
#T1)
Now my mother and my father
They might hear if I stay here too long
One kiss and we'll part
Then you better be going
Although I hate to see you go
#T2)
