You took my kisses and all my love
You taught me how to care
Am I to be just remnant of a one side love affair

All you took
I gladly gave
There is nothing left for me to save

All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me

1937

Once he dressed in tweads and drapes
On the rolls royce car
Now he seems quite out of place
Like a fallen star
While I worry
Plan and sceme
Over what to do
Can't help feeling
It's a dream
He's just too good to be true

I'm not much to look at
I'm nothing to see
I'm glad I'm living on a dime
And lucky to be
But I've got a man crazy for me
He's funny that way

I ain't got a dollar
Can't save a cent
He doesn't hollar
He'd live in a tent
I've got that man mad about me
He's funny that way

Lord he loves work and slave
For me every day
He'd be so much better off
If I went away
But why should I leave him
Why should I go
He'd be un happy
Without me I know
I've got that man crazy for me
He's funny that way

Bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
If you cry I think my heart would break,
That would be much more than I could take.
And if I saw a tear fall from your eye,
Darling don't you know that I would die.
True love, true love,
true love, true love.
Bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
If you cry I don't know what I'll do,
Baby cause I'm so in love with you.
And if I knew that I had caused you pain,
My tears would fall like the rain.
True love, true love,
true love, true love.
Bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom,
bom, bom, bom

Baby let me be
your lovin' teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck
and lead me anywhere
Oh let me be (oh let him be)
Your teddy bear

I don't wanna be a tiger
'Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
'Cause lions ain't the kind you love enough
Just wanna be, your teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck

Oh let me be (oh let him be)

Baby let me be, around you every night
Run your fingers through my hair
And cuddle me real tight
Oh let me be (oh let him be)

A very old friend came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone in town
About the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

When you're all alone and blue
No one to tell your troubles to
Remember me, I'm the one who loves you

When this world has turned you down
And not a true friend can be found
Remember me, I'm the one who loves you

And through all kinds of weather
You'll find I'll never change
Through the sunshine and the shadows
I'll always be the same

We're together right or wrong
Where you go I'll tag along
Remember me, I'm the one who loves you

(And through all kinds of weather
You'll find I'll never change)
Through the sunshine and the shadows
I'll always be the same

We're together right or wrong

Remember me, I'm the one who loves you
Remember me, I'm the one who loves you

Do you or don't you love me
Such an easy question
Why can't I get an answer
Tell me, will you or won't you need me
Such an easy question
Why can't I get an answer

All you do is give a sigh
And beat around the bush
Can it be that you're too shy
To give yourself a little old push
Can you or can't you tell me yes
It's such an easy question
Why can't I get an answer

baby, when we break up from a quarrel or a fight
i can't wait to have you back and hold you, oh, so tight
tell me why, i want to know-oh-oh
tell me why is it so-oh-oh
that the best part of breaking up is when you're making up
best part of breaking up is when you're making up
but, after breaking up, be sure you're making up with me

every time you leave, i get those teardrops in my eyes
but they seem to go away when you apologize
tell me why, i want to know-oh-oh
tell me why is it so-oh-oh
that the best part of breaking up is when you're making up
best part of breaking up is when you're making up
but, after breaking up, be sure you're making up with me

c'mon, baby, c'mon baby
don't say maybe
well, it makes no difference who was wrong
just as long as i'll be with you

baby, i'll be lonely till you're back where you should be
but, baby, i belong to you and you belong to me
tell me why, i want to know-oh-oh
tell me why is it so-oh-oh
that the best part of breaking up is when you're making up
best part of breaking up is when you're making up
but, after breaking up, be sure you're making up with

You don't like crazy music.
You don't like rockin' bands.
You just wanna go to a movie show,
And sit there holdin' hands.
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care.

You don't like hotrod racin'
Or drivin' late at night.
You just wanna park where it's nice and dark.
You just wanna hold me tight.
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care.

You don't know any dance steps that are new,
But no one else could love me like you do, do, do, do.

I don't know why my heart flips.
I only know it does.
I wonder why I love you, baby.
I guess it's just because
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care.
