GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #416 (GOLQ416)
Welcome to the September edition of the quiz.
Other than my usual Grim Reaper motif, there are no other themes this time.
The two tie-breakers are peripherally related (a pretty useless hint, I know).
Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
They say he doesn't love me
But they don't know
He makes me feel so happy
When I'm feelin' low
#01)
Without going out of your door
You can know all things on earth
Without looking out of your window
You can know the ways of heaven
#02)
Gather 'round me, buddies,
Hold your glasses high
#03)
Sometimes we quarrel
And maybe we'll fight
But then we make up
The following night
#04)
We had a quarrel the other day
And I just let you walk away
#05)
Cheetah turns and says "Hey, Boy"
Give me rockin' stuff, man
The kind that makes me go
#06)
I'll pay my fare and ride the bumper car
Those funny cars won't make the teardrops start
#07)
Like him, I am doubtful
That your love is true
But if you decide to call on me
#08)
Turn off the tears, girl
I don't care anymore
You can save all your lies
'Cause I've heard them all before
#09)
Well, I never tell him that he is so unfair
'Cause he loves me and I know it
But he's just afraid to show it
#10)
Oh, it's easy to say to strangers
That we played a game from the start
It's easy to lie to strangers
#11)
And when I told her
Her kisses were not like before
#12)
She saves the world
There's no one bolder
She does all this
And never gets any older
#13)
Ah, twist them hips (twist them hips)
Let your backbone slip (let your backbone slip)
Now, move your feet (move your feet)
Get on the beat (get on the beat)
#14)
I know you're mad
'Cause I was wrong
But that's no reason
To say "so long"
#15)
I'm just as blue as a sad old song
Night and day, everything go wrong
There's only one thing left for me to do
Try not to think about you
#16)
I tried to take the chance
To feel the thrill of romance and love
And I let my foolish heart become enchanted by starlight above
#17)
And Mr. Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?
#18)
Didn't you know
It wouldn't be so easy
Letting you go
#19)
Come back baby, 'cause I'm all alone
Come back darlin', 'cause I-I need your love
Come back, 'cause I wanna love ya
Girl, I wanna love ya tonight
#20)
When you hold me in your arms so tight
You let me know everything's all right
#21)
Girl, why should it be
That you don't notice me
Can I dance with you?
#22)
Tell me you'll be true
If I should lose you
What could I do?
#23)
Now, you step to the left, baby
Step to the right, now
#24)
My alibi
Is tellin' people I don't care for you
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
You're actin' funny
Spendin' all my money
You're out there playin'
Your high-class games
#T1)
Well, you may go to college
You may go to school
You may have a big Cadillac
But don't you be nobody's fool
#T2)
