"The love of a women is a wonderful thing (oh yeah), Yeah, the way you treat 'em is a crying shame (oh yeah), I tell you, fella, yeah, it won't be long (oh yeah), Yeah, before these women they all have gone (oh yeah)."

"Hello loneliness, goodbye love I'm tired of being abused & being misused I've had my share of romance, no more for me I'm lockin' up my heart & throwin' away the key."

"Here's our old favorite record I can't stand to hear it anymore Here's some old lingering love It's in my heart and it's tearing it apart."

"'Cause now he's hangin' around my door More happier than before Now you're in misery 'cause you lost him to me Now the hurt's on you, now the hurt's on you Your little scheme backfired, it's true You made bets, any boy you could get."

"Whenever I'm with him Something inside Starts to burning And I'm filled with desire, Could it be the devil in me? Or is this the way love's supposed to be?"

"Lum de Lum de la ey Lum de Lum de la ey This cat named Mickey came from out of town He been spreading this new dance all around And in just a matter of a few days This dance became the new teen craze."

"But when the love light starts shining through his eyes Made me realize I should apologize And when he placed a kiss upon my face Then I knew, oh then I knew that he won my heart."

"Gather round you swingers and friends Help me forget my hurt within About the only girl I ever loved The only one I'm thinkin' of and I've gotta dance to keep from crying."

"You're like quicksand Sinking me deeper in love with you The more I fight it, the deeper in love I get Each time you hold me I feel nothing but happiness It's not safe loving you this way But from your arms, I can't stay."

"Tired of abuses and excuses I've made up my mind Gonna tell him this time We're through, yeah.But everything I plan to say Just seems to fade away Every time I see his face My eyes light up Sparks start to flying."

"Don't be fooled, by the shyness in his eyes Don't you know, he's just a devil in disguise So you better run, run, run, run, run, run Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."

"Listen everybody especially you girls Is it right to be left alone while the one you love is never home? I love too hard my friends sometimes say But I believe, I believe that a woman should be loved that way.But it hurts me so inside To see her treat me so unkind Somebody somewhere tell her it's unfair."

"I saw the saddest thing, other day. When an old man pass my way. Walking the streets so all alone. All because he had no home. But the saddest thing I've ever seen, Is a tear from a woman's eye."

"But in my lonely room Tears I don't have to hide Cause I just lock my door And let myself go and Lay right down and cry."

"Baby, baby, baby Baby don't leave me Ooh, please don't leave me All by myself.I've got this burning, burning, yearning Feelin' inside me Ooh, deep inside me And it hurts so bad."

"Ooh, baby, baby Where did our love go? Ooh, don't you want me Don't you want me no more? Ooh, baby."

"Don't you break my heart 'Cause I sacrifice to make you happy Get nothin' for myself Now you wanna leave me For the love of someone else My pride is all gone, whether right or wrong I believe, baby, you'd better keep on keepin' on."

"Baby, I need your loving Got to have all your loving."

"Darlin' I can't go on without you (and I need you and I want you, baby) This emptiness wont let me live without you (And I need you and I want you, baby) This loneliness inside me darlin' (And I need you and I want you, baby) Makes me feel half alive (And I need you and I)"

"Baby love, my baby love I need you, oh how I need you! But all you do is treat me bad Break my heart and leave me sad Tell me, what did I do wrong? To make you stay away so long?"

"I've been crying, 'cause I'm lonely for you Smiles have all turned to tears But tears won't wash away the fears That you're never ever gonna return To ease the fire that within me burns."

"You are so wonderful That being near you is all I'm living for You show me more kindness in little ways Than I've ever known in all my days Tell me we'll stay together Let me love you forever 'Cause you're a wonderful one You're a wonderful one."

"I needed the shelter of someone's arms And there you were I needed someone to understand my ups and downs And there you were.With sweet love and devotion Deeply touching my emotions I want to stop and thank you baby I want to stop and thank you baby."

"Stop, in the name of love Before you break my heart Stop, in the name of love Before you break my heart. Think it over, think it over."

"Each night as I sleep Into my heart you creep I wake up feeling sorry I met you Hoping soon that I'll forget youWhen I look in the mirror And comb my hair I see your face Just a-smiling there."

"Oh, but now he's back in my arms again Right by my side I got him back in my arms again, So satisfied."

"Sugar pie, honey bunch You know that I love you I can't help myself I love you and nobody else.In and out my life You come and you go Leaving just your picture behind And I kissed it a thousand times."

"You're sweet as a honey bee But like a honey bee stings You've gone and left my heart in pain All you left is our favorite song The one we danced to all night long It used to bring sweet memories Of a tender love that used to be.Now it's the same old song But with a different meaning Since you been gone."

"Whenever you're near I hear a symphony A tender melody Pulling me closer Closer to your arms."

"Ooh, this old heart of mine, been broken thousand times Each time you break away, I fear you're gone to stay Lonely nights that come, memories that go Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more."

"From this old world I try to hide my face But from this loneliness there's no hiding place Inside this cold and empty house, I dwell In darkness with memories I know so well."

"Put yourself in my place If only for a day See if you can stand The awful hurt I feel insideAnd, oh, oh Put yourself in my place For just a little while Live through the loneliness The endless emptiness I go through."

"I need love love To ease my mind I need to find find Someone to call mineBut mama said "You can't hurry love, No you just have to wait" She said "Love don't come easy It's a game of give and take.""

"Now, if you feel that you can't go on All your hope is gone Life is filled with much confusion Happiness is just an illusion And your world is tumblin' down,Darling, reach out, Reach out, I'll be there to love and shelter you I'll be there, I'll always see you through."

"Set me free, why don't cha, baby Get out my life, why don't cha, baby 'Cause you don't really love me You just keep me hangin' on. You don't really need me But you keep me hangin' on You don't really need me But you keep me hangin' on."

"Standing in the shadows of love I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come."

"Oh Jimmy Mack When are you coming back?My arms are missing you My lips feel the same way too I tried so hard to be true Like I promised I'd do.But this boy Keeps coming around He's trying to wear My resistance down."

"Bernadette, People are searching for the kind of love that we possess. Some go on searching their whole life through And never find the love I've found in you."

"Through the mirror of my mind Time after time I see reflections of you and me.Reflections of The way life used to be. Reflections of The love you took from me."

"Give me just a little more time And our love will surely grow.Life's too short to make a mistake Let's think of each other and hesitate Young and impatient we may be There's no need to act foolishly If we part our hearts won't forget it Years from now we'll surely regret it."

"Now that you're gone All that's left is a band of gold All that's left of the dreams I hold Is a band of gold And the memories of what love could be If you were still here with me."
