You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it

You made me happy sometimes
You made me glad
But there were times
You made me feel so bad

You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you

You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you

I saw her standin' on the corner
A yellow ribbon in her hair
I couldn't stop myself from shoutin
Look a-there Look a-there
Look a-there Look a-there

Young blood, young blood, young blood
I can't get you out of my mind

I took one look and I was fractured
I tried to walk but I was lame
I tried to talk but I just stuttered
What's your name What's your name
What's your name What's your name

Young blood, young blood, young blood
I can't get you out of my mind

What crazy stuff She looked so tough
I had to follow her all the way home
Then things went bad; I met her dad
He said, "You'd better leave my daughter alone"

I couldn't sleep a wink for tryin'
I saw the rising of the sun
And all night my heart was cryin'
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one, you're the one

Young blood, young blood, young blood
I can't get you out of my mind

You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so
And anyone could tell, you think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one, who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips, and longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend, that's all I've ever been
No you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart ached with the love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance you might have loved me too

You gave your hand to me, and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away, beside a lucky guy
To never never know the one who loves you so
No you don't know me

You gave your hand to me, and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away, beside a lucky guy
To never never know the one who loves you so
No you don't know me

1958

I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue
I held my breath and watched the western sunsets golden hue
I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green
But you're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

You're the nearest thing to heaven yes you are
I have searched for happiness so long and far
But my search for love was through the day that I found you
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven yes you are

I confess that I've been tempted by a luring magic charms
When the smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms
But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do
You're the nearest thing to heaven darlin' you

You're the nearest thing to heaven...
[ guitar ]
I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away
I love the pretty flowers but they cannot buy the worth
Cause you're the nearest thing to heaven on this earth

You're the nearest thing to heaven...

And longs to kiss your lips, and longs to hold you tight

IF YOU HAVEN`T GOT A SWEETIE

YOU HAVEN`T GOT SOMEONE

TO LOVE,

IF YOU HAVEN`T GOT A SWEETIE,

HERE`S THE REASON WHY

YOU HAVEN`T GOT

SOMEONE TO LOVE.

YOU GOTTA BE

A TOUCHDOWN GETTER,

IF YOU WANNA GET

A BABY TO PET.

THE FACT THAT YOU ARE RICH

OR HANDSOME

WON`T GET YOU ANYTHING

IN CURLS;

YOU GOTTA BE A FOOTBALL HERO

TO GET ALONG

WITH THE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS.


[patter verse]:

EV`RY FEMALE FLAMING YOUTH

GOES FOR GAGLE,

GRANGE AND BOOTH,

FRIEDMAN,

IF THE GIRLS ARE

WHAT YOU WANNA GET,

MAN,

HURRY

A TRIPLE THREAT,

MAN.


[Chorus 2]:

YOU GOTTA BE A FOOTBALL HERO

IN SPITE OF ALL

A MILLION DOLLARS CAN DO,

A TACKLE OR TWO

WILL MEAN MORE TO YOU.

IF YOU CAN

MAKE THE WINNING TOUCHDOWN,

YOU`LL NEVER

HAVE TO BUY THEM PEARLS;

YOU GOTTA BE A FOOTBALL HERO

TO GET ALONG

WITH THE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS.

I'm not a poet,
How well i know it,
I've never been a raver,
But when i speak of you,
I rave a bit, its true.

I'm wild about you,
I'm lost without you,
You give my life its flavor,
What sugar does for tea,
Thats what you do for me.

You're the cream in my coffee,
You're the salt in my stew
You will always be my necessity,
I'd be lost without you.

You're the starch in my collar,
You're the lace in my shoe
You will always be my necessity,
I'd be lost without you.

Most girls tell love tales,
And each phrase dovetails
You've heard each known way,
This way is my own way:

You're the sail of my loveboat,
You're the captain and crew,
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you.

You're the cream in my coffee,
You're the salt in my stew
You will always be my necessity,
I'd be lost without you.

You will always be my necessity,
I'd be lost without you.

You are my life savor,
You bring out that certain flavor,
So dear, this is clear, dear,
You're my worcestershire, dear!

You're the sail in my loveboat,
You're the captain and crew,
You will always be my necessity,
I'd be lost without you.

You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you.
You
Sweet, Adorable You

1956

I love that hair, long an' black
Hangin' down to the middle of your back
Don't cut it off whatever you do
I need it to run my fingers through
'Cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Don't mean maybe, you're my baby
Got me a dollar that I saved
Saved it up for a rainy day
Everybody's callin' for bills that's due
But they don't catch me, I'll spend it on you
'Cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Don't mean maybe, you're my baby

Got me a guitar, got a six strings
And a picker to make 'em ring
Every string's gotta know what to do
'Cause I'm gonna use 'em to serenade you
'Cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Don't mean maybe, you're my baby

Well I had me a gal, she said she's mine
But she run around on me all the time
Now she's gone an' I'm glad we're through
'Cause I-I'm plum-flipped over you
'Cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Don't mean maybe, you're my baby

Oh, baby-baby, yeah you're my baby
Well I don't mean maybe
You drive me crazy
I love you baby, you're my babydoll

1955

You're a heartbreaker,
You're a love faker,
A heartbreaker playing with fire.
You're a tear snatcher,
You're a quarrel patcher,
But you can't break my heart anymore,
For I just found someone else who's sure to take your place.
Someone I can always trust and to fill this empty space.

You're a heartbreaker,
You're a love faker,
But you can't break my heart anymore.

You're a smooth talker,
You're a real cool walker,
But now you have talked out of turn.
You're a high stepper,
You're a eye-catcher,
But you won't catch my glances anymore.
For I just found someone else who's sure to take your place,
Someone I can always trust and to fill this empty space.

You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker,
But you can't break my heart anymore.

You're a heart breaker
You're a love faker,
A heartbreaker playing with fire.
You're a tear snatcher,
You're a quarrel patcher,
But you can't break my heart anymore.
For I've just found someone else who's sure to take your place.
Someone I can always trust and to fill this empty space.

You're a heartbreaker,
You're a love faker,
But you can't break my heart anymore.

Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spendin' cash
If you don't scrub that kitchen floor
You ain't gonna rock and roll no more
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Just finish cleanin' up your room
Let's see that dust fly with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don't go out Friday night
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

You just put on your coat and hat
And walk yourself to the laundromat
And when you finish doin' that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Don't you give me no dirty looks
Your father's hip; he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
You ain't got time to take a ride
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak

you turned the tables on me
and now I'm falling for you
you turned the tables on me
i can't believe that it's true
I always thought when you brought
the lovely presents you brought
why hadn't you brought me more
but now if you'd come
I'd welcome anything from
the 5 and 10 cent store

you used to call me the top
you put me up on the throne
you let me fall with a drop
and now I'm out on my own
but after thinking it over and over
i got what was coming to me
just like the sting of a bee
you turned the tables on me

you used to call me the top
you put me up on the throne
you let me fall with a drop
and now I'm out on my own
but after thinking it over and over

you turned the tables on me
