IT'S NOW OR NEVER

(Aaron Schroeder - Wally Gold - Edoardo DiCapua) « © '60 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
It's now or never come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late
It's now or never my love won't wait

When I first saw you with your smile so tender
My heart was captured my soul surrendered
I've spent the lifetime waiting for the right time
Now that you're near the time is here at last

It's now or never come hold me tight...

Just like a willow we would cry an ocean
If we lost true love and sweet devotion
Your lips excite me let your arms invite me
For who knows when we'll meet again this way

It's now or never come hold me tight...
It's now or never my love won't wait
It's now or never my love won't wait
It's now or never my love won't wait

STUCK ON YOU

(Aaron Schroeder - Leslie McFarland) « © '60 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP / Rachel's Own Music, ASCAP »
You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake a shake a sugar but you'll never shake me
Uh huh no sirree oh no
I'm gonna stick like glue stick because I'm stuck on you

I'm gonna run my fingers through your long black hair
A squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
Uh huh no sirree oh no
I'm gonna stick like glue stick because I'm stuck on you

Hide in the kitchen hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
Cause once I catch you and the kissing starts
A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart
I'm gonna take a tiger from this daddy's side
That's how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh huh no sirree oh no
I'm gonna stick like glue stick because I'm stuck on you

Hide in the kitchen hide in the hall...
I'm gonna stick like glue yeah yeah because I'm stuck on you
I'm gonna stick like glue yeah yeah because I'm stuck on you

FAME AND FORTUNE

(Ben Weisman - Fred Wise) « © '60 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Erika Publishing, ASCAP »
Fame and fortune how empty they can be
But when I hold you in my arms that's a heaven to me
Who cares for fame and fortune they're only passing things
But the touch of your lips on mine makes me feel like a king

Your kind of love is a treasure I hold
It's so much greater than silver or gold
I know that I have nothing if you should go away
But to know that your love me brings fame and fortune my way
But to know that your love me brings fame and fortune my way

I GOTTA KNOW

(Paul Evans - Matt Williams) « © '60 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP / Port Music, ASCAP »
Get up in the morning feeling mighty weak
A tossin' and a turnin' well I ain't had no sleep
Oh baby what road's our love taking to romance or to heartbreaking
Won't you say which way you're gonna go I gotta know gotta know gotta know

Nine and nine make fourteen four and four make nine
The clock is striking thirteen I think I lost my mind
You know it's gettin' aggravatin' how long can I keep waitin'
Tell me if you love me yer or no I gotta know gotta know gotta know

Oh how much I need you have pity on this heart of mine
Well if you need and want me too
I'll be your one and only till the end of time
Saw the fortune teller had my fortune read
She sent me to the doctor who sent me straight to bed
He said I'm lonesome and I'm lovesick I've got my mind on lipstick
Will you kiss away my cares and woe I gotta know gotta know gotta know

Oh how much I need you...
(I gotta know gotta know gotta know I gotta know gotta know gotta know)

SURRENDER

(Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman) « © '60 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
When we kiss my heart's on fire burning with a strange desire
And I know each time I kiss you that your heart's on the fire too

So my darling please surrender all your love so warm and tender
Let me hold you in my arms dear while the moon shines bright above
All the stars will tell the story of our love and all its glory
Let us take this night of magic and make it at night of love

Won't you please surrender to me your lips your arms your heart dear
Be mine forever be mine tonight

I FEEL SO BAD

(Chuck Willis) « © '61 Berkshire Music, BMI / Chuck Willis Music, BMI / Elvis Presley Music, BMI »
Feel so bad like a ballgame on a rainy day
Feel so bad like a ballgame on a rainy day
Yes I got my rain check shake my head and walk away

Ooooh people that's the way I feel
Ooooh people that's the way I feel
Sometimes I think I want then again I think I won't

Sometimes I want to stay here then again I want to leave here
Times I want to leave here then again I want to stay
Yes I got my trainfare pack my grip and ride away
[ sax ] Oh people that's the way I feel...

ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT

(Roy Turk - Lou Handman) « © '26 Bourne Co, ASCAP / Cromwell Music, ASCAP »
Are you lonesome tonight do you miss me tonight
Are you sorry we drifted apart
Does your memory stray to a bright summer day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart

Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there
Is your heart filled with pain shall I come back again
Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight

I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said the world's a stage and each must play a part
Fate had me playing In Love with you as my sweetheart
Act one was where we met I loved you at first glance
You read your lines so cleverly and never missed a cue then came act two
You seemed to change you acted strange and why I'll never know
Honey you lied when you said you loved me and I had no cause to doubt you
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies than to go on living without you
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there with emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me then they can bring the curtain down

Is your heart filled with pain shall I come back again
Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight

MARIE'S THE NAME HIS LATEST FLAME

(Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman) « © '61 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
A very old friend came by today
Cause he was telling everyone in town
Of 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 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 eternaly
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside were burning...
Would you believe that yesterday
Yeah Marie's the name of his latest flame
Oh Marie's the name of his latest flame

LITTLE SISTER

(Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman) « © '61 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Little sister don't you little sister don't you
Little sister don't you kiss me once or twice and say it's very nice
And then you run
Little sister don't you do what your big sister done

Well I dated your big sister and I took her to the show
I went for some candy along came Jim Dandy
And they snuck right out the door

Little sister don't you...

Everytime I see your sister well she's got somebody new
She's mean and she's eveil like a little old Boll Weevil
Guess I'll try my love with you

Little sister don't you...

Well I used to pull your pigtails and pinch your turned up nose
But you've been a growing and baby it's been showing
From your head down to your toes

Little sister don't you...
Little sister don't you do what your big sister done

GOOD LUCK CHARM

(Aaron Schroeder - Wally Gold) « © '61 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP / Rachel's Own Music, ASCAP »
Uh huh uh huh oh yeah

Don't want a four leaf clover don't want an old horse shoe
Want your kiss cause I just can't miss with a good luck charm like you

Come on and be my little good luck charm uh huh you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm a hanging on my arm
To have to have to hold to hold tonight

Don't want a silver dollar rabbit's foot on a string
The happiness in your warm caress no rabbit's foot can bring

Come on and be my little good luck charm...

Uh huh uh huh oh yeah uh huh uh huh tonight

I found a lucky penny I'd toss it across the bay
Your love is worth all the gold on earth no wonder that I say

Come on and be my little good luck charm...
Uh huh uh huh oh yeah uh huh uh huh

ANYTHING THAT'S PART OF YOU

(Don Robertson) « © '61 Don Robertson Music, ASCAP »
I memorize the note you sent go all the places that we went
I seem to search the whole day through for anything that's part of you

I kept a ribbon from your hair a breath of perfume lingers there
It helps to cheer me when I'm blue anything that's part of you

Oh how it hurts to miss you so
When I know you don't love me anymore
To go on needing you knowing you don't need me
No reason left for me to live what can I take what can I give
When I'd give all of someone new for anything that's part of you

SHE'S NOT YOU

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller - Doc Pomus) « © '62 Jerry Leiber Music, ASCAP / Mike Stoller Music, ASCAP »
Her hair is soft and her eyes are oh so blue
She's all the things a girl should be but she's not you
She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue
She's everything a man could want but she's not you

And when we're dancing it almost feel insane
I've got to stop myself from whispering your name
She even kisses me like you used to do
And it's just breaking my heart cause she's not you
[ piano ] And it's just breaking my heart cause she's not you

And when we're dancing...
And it's just breaking my heart cause she's not you
