FALLIN'

(Howard Greenfield - Neil Sedaka) « © '58 Careers Music, BMI »
I got the feelin' I'm fallin' like a star up in the blue
Like I was fallin' off Niagra in a paddle boat canoe
I got the feelin' I'm a fallin' and it's all because of you

Like I was walkin' on a tight rope ooh swingin' in the breeze
And though I tried to keep my balance when I weaken in my knees
I got the feelin' I'm a fallin' oh lover help me please

Like a leaf falls from the branch like a rock from an avalanche
Like the rain on a stormy day I never thought I'd fall this way

I thought that love could never touch me yeah I was ridin' high
But then my ivory tower toppled and it tumbled from the sky
I got the feelin' I'm a fallin' love you're the reason why

Like a liner that he married for like the walls of Jericho
Like Delilah's holy town and samson tore it down

I thought that love could never touch me...
[ guitar ] Like a liner that he married for...
Honey you're the reason why ah love you're the reason why
Oooh you're the reason why

HARD HEADED WOMAN

(Claude Demetrius) « © '58 Gladys Music, ASCAP »
Well a hard headed woman a soft hearted man
Been the cause of trouble ever since the world began

Oh yeah ever since the world began ah oh oh oh oh
A hard headed woman is a thorn in the side of man

Now Adam said to Eve listen here to me
Don't you let me catch you messin' round that apple tree

Oh yeah ever since the world began...
[ guitar ] Now Samson told Delilah loud and clear
Keep your cotton pickin' fingers out of my curly hair

Oh yeah ever since the world began...
[ piano ] Well I heard about a king who's doing swell
Till he started playin' with that evil Jezabel

Oh yeah ever since the world began...

IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE

(Paul Anka) « © '59 Chrysalis Standards, BMI »
There you go and baby here am I
Oh well you left me here so I could sit and cry
Oh will you apology what have you done to me
But it really doesn't matter anymore

Do you remember baby last September
When you held me tight each and every night
Oh well you was so dazy how you drove me crazy
But it really doesn't matter anymore

There's no use in me of cryin'
I've done everything and now I keep on tryin'
I've thrown away my nights wasted all my days over you
You'll go your way I'll go mine now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new and baby we'll say we're through
Honey you won't matter anymore
[ guitar ] Do you remember baby last September...
There's no use in me of cryin'...
No sugar you won't matter anymore

LOST WEEKEND

(Wayne P.Walker) « © '60 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
Every day is a lost weekend every day since my baby said goodbye
Every day is a lost weekend I feel just like crawling off somewhere to die

Just like a clown I played around too many times I was untrue
I still remember your parting words were if you need me I'll call you
Every day is a lost weekend every day since my baby said goodbye
[ guitar ] Just like a clown I played around...

Well I'm choking choking on heartaches
I feel just like crawling off somewhere to die
I feel just like crawling off somewhere to die

MAN WE HAD A PARTY

(Jessie Mae Robinson) « © '60 MPL Music, ASCAP »
Everybody came from miles around uptown downtown way across town
Yeah man we had a party ooh talk about a party
We did a little singin' a whole lotta swingin'
Man we had a party tonight
[ guitar ] Honky tonky Joe let us all know
He came to have some fun and put us on a show
Yeah man we had a party...
[ guitar ] We put some records on the hi-fi machine
The lights were down low it was really quite a scene
Yeah man we had a party...

Everyone was happy no one was sad
If you missed the blast then it's really too bad
Cause man we had a party...
