Girl, there's a better life for me and you
#01)
If I give my heart to you
I must be sure from the very start
That you would love me more than her
#02)
When you say that you love me, Honey
When you really mean my money
#03)
More than the meadow so green and still
More than the mulberries on the hill
More than the buds on a May apple tree
#04)
Well, I was rollin' down the highway
T' see my baby Ruth
Car broke down
Tire blew out
Found a telephone booth
I tried to call my honey
#05)
I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on channel two
#06)
You know that
My love is growing stronger
And I can wait no longer
Been saving my love just for you
#07)
You took me away from the rest of the world
When you taught me to love you like this
Now I hang by a thread in the canyon of doom
But I still can be saved by your kiss
#08)
Just let it remain a secret
But, Darling, I love you so
No wonder, no wonder I wonder
#09)
Some people like to rock
Some people like to roll
But movin' and a-groovin's gonna satisfy my soul
#10)
I love that jive
Just wind me up and I'll come alive
Throw me a woman with a style and grace
Then stand back, Buddy, and give me space
#11)
I still ask my friends what to do
But it seems they don't know
How to bring, how to bring you back
They say, "What made him go?"
#12)
Your silver beams
Can lead the way to golden dreams
So shine, shine, please shine
#13)
Hold me close, hold me tight
Make me thrill with delight
Let me know where I stand from the start
#14)
I'm now on her list
I'm just another fool that couldn't resist
#15)
Don't you worry about what's on your mind, oh my
I'm in no hurry, I can take my time, oh my
#16)
Should I give up and say it's over
You know I never could
Our love was much too good
I can't sit back and watch it die
#17)
And then we'll move on
But we will remember
Long after Saturday's gone
#18)
There's a new world somewhere
They call the promised land
And I'll be there someday
If you will hold my hand
#19)
You were my first love
And you'll be my last love
I will never make you blue
I'll be true to you
#20)
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary
#21)
Listen to me
Cynthia and Jerry got a message they're sayin'
All the squares go home
#22)
He's awful nice
It's paradise
I hope I'm not his decoy
#23)
I've waited so long for you to write me
But just a memory's all that's left of you
#24)
The sweet sixteen
The moments in between
That New Year's Eve we won't forget
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
I told my mama
And my dad
What I had
Was the sweetest
And the neatest
Little girl
In the world
#T1)
Holy Father up above
Please protect the boy I love
Keep him strong and keep him pure
For he's the one I love, I'm sure
#T2)
