GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #469 (GOLQ469)
Hello all, and a Happy (belated) New Year! And welcome to GOLQ 469.
All entries in the main part of the quiz have something in common, but
the tie-breakers are unrelated to this. One of the tie-breakers is
especially fitting.
Have fun!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
But I'm gonna show you what I'm worth
(I'm gonna show you what I'm worth)
Hey, I'll bring you down to earth
#01)
To see how he does it
When he breaks your heart to bits
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine
#02)
You took my heart because
You thought you could use it
Just like a little toy
You battered and bruised it
#03)
Have you ever been lonely, lonely
Have you ever been sad
Did you ever really, really love someone
And really need them bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
#04)
A song of you (a song of you)
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines
#05)
Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more
But I hope that you compree
All the things you mean to me
#06)
Doin' ten to twenty hard
Swingin' twelve pounds in the yard
Every day, every day
#07)
Gotta go now
Guess I'll see you around
Don't know when though
Never know when I'll be back in town
But I remember what I told you
That in time you're gonna pay
#08)
I won't make you cry anymore
I'll always love you my love
For eternity
#09)
Don't know if it's day or night
You've got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time
#10)
I thought I was dreaming
But I was wrong, yeah yeah yeah
Oh, but I'm gonna keep on scheming
#11)
Lined up and waiting
For that next big set outside
Nothing can stop it
'Cause you've just gotta
#12)
Outside her window
A pretty bird comes to play
And I know I cried, I cried a tear
#13)
I saw you dancing with another
My heart was breaking with each beat
'Cause no one knew that I still loved you
And that I willed you here with me
#14)
I move your pictures
From my wall
And I replace them
Both large and small
#15)
Girl have you ever been hungry
So hungry that you had no pride?
Well I got that feeling
That biting, gnawing deep inside
#16)
All my love belongs to you
Please put your faith in me
You'll see how true I'll be
#17)
We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
#18)
I used to try and fly away
Upon the flood of dreams
Tasting all the good and bad
From on the serpent's tree
#19)
If I was the sun way up there
I'd go with love most everywhere
I'll be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know that I'm still around
#20)
You trusted him and gave him your love
A love he proved unworthy of
#21)
They say you like to cheat
They say you're just a little flirt
And if I fall for you
I'm surely gonna get hurt
#22)
Everybody says, "Be strong", but I just can't take it
Every time I look at you I feel funny inside, yeah
I've been meaning to ask you this
For such a long, long time
#23)
Don't have to change your color of hair
The clothes you wear, they all become you so
#24)
In my lonely, lonely room
There's nothing left but the past
(Nothin' but the past)
I think of how our love used to be
And why it didn't last
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
Laughing like a clown
Don't care who's around
I can't really see
No one's pushin' me
I'm as free as I can wanna be
#T1)
Up with the sun Monday
I'm on the run Tuesday
Wednesday's the same
All of the day through
#T2)
