MAKE ME KNOW IT
(Otis Blackwell)
« © '60 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
You say that you love me and swear it to be true
But if you care to come over here and make me know we'd do
Come on now (make me know it) then go ahead and show it
But if you care to come over here and make me know we'd do
You say you've got kisses and swear that they're brand new
I think that's fine if you ain't lyin' but make me know we'd do
Come on now (make me know it) then go ahead and show it
I think that's fine if you ain't lyin' but make me know we'd do
You won't have no trouble proving it to me
Come right along you'll find me helpful as can be
You say you wanna hold me and stick to me like glue
Well here's to see it seeing's believing make me know we'd do
Come on now (make me know it) then go ahead and show it
I say here's to see it seeing's believing make me know we'd do
You won't have no trouble proving it to me
Come right along you'll find me helpful as can be
You say you wanna hold me...

FEVER
(John Davenport - Eddie Cooley)
« © '60 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Never know how much I love you never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever when you kiss me fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning fever all through the night
Sun lights up the daytime moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name and you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me fever when you kiss me...
Everybody's got the fever that is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing fever started long ago
Romeo loved Juliet Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her he said Juliet baby you're my flame
Thou giveth fever when we kisses fever with Thy flaming youth
Fever I'm on fire fever you have burnt for soothe
Captain Smith and Pocahontas had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him she said daddy oh don't you dare
He gives me fever with his kisses fever when he holds me tight
Fever I'm his Mrs daddy won't you treat him right
Now you listened to my story here's the point that I have made
Kids were born to give you fever bring it fahrenheit or seantigrade
We give you fever when you kiss 'em fever when you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle what a lovely way to burn
Ehat a lovely way to burn what a lovely way to burn

GIRL OF MY BEST FRIEND
(Beverly Ross - Sam Bobrick)
« © '60 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
The way she walks the way she talks how long can I pretend
Oh I can't help it I'm in love with the girl of my best friend
Her lovely hair her skin so fair I could go on and never end
Oh I can't help it I'm in love with the girl of my best friend
I want to tell her how I love her so and hold her in my arms but then
What if she got real mad and told him so I could never face either one again
Oh the way they kiss their happiness will my aching heart ever mend
Oh will I always be in love with the girl of my best friend

DIRTY DIRTY FEELING
(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
« © '60 Jerry Leiber Music, ASCAP / Mike Stoller Music, ASCAP »
I've got a dirty dirty feeling dirty feeling goin' on
You know I almost hit the ceiling when I wake up and you were gone
I took you in when you were hungry and now you could run out on me
I'm gonna help you little darling that ain't the way it's gonna be
I hear you're pretty good at runnin' but pretty soon you'll slip and fall
That's when I'll drag you home with me girl I'm gonna chain you to the wall
[ guitar ]
You know I'm looking for you baby I ain 't gonna tell you laying down
I heard that you were cooking baby way on the other side of town
I've got a dirty dirty feeling...

THRILL OF YOUR LOVE
(Stan Kesler)
« © '60 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
I have wished for the wealth of a great millionaire
I have reached for a bright star above
But the thrill of them all to me seems so small
When compared to the thrill of your love
I'd rather give everything that I own in this world
Than to be all alone and unloved
For no earthly price can know sacrifice
Is too much to give for your love
I'd rather give everything...

SOLDIER BOY
(David Jones - Theodore Williams)
« © '60 Edward B Marks Music, BMI »
Soldier boy why feel blue don't you believe that she would be true
It's written in the book that she was meant for only you
Soldier boy tell me why do you cry when you return she'll rush to your side
It's written in the book that she was meant for only you
So prove your love is true she'll be there to say I do
And if you go see her then she'll make you understand
While you're gone oh try to believe her love for you is really for real
It's written in the book that she was meant for only you
So prove your love is true...

SUCH A NIGHT
(Lincoln Chase)
« © '54 Embassy Music, BMI »
It was a night oh what a night it was really was such a night
The moon was bright oh how bright it was really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Oh when she kissed me I had to fall in love
Oh it was a kiss oh what a kiss it was really was such a kiss
Oh how she could kiss oh what a kiss it was really was such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips sets me afire
I reminisce and I'm filled with desire
But I'd give my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember I'll always remember
Oh it was a night oh what a night it was really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart fell in love and the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss the kiss in the moonlight
Oh such a kiss such a night
Oh it was a night oh what a night...
But I'd give my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember I'll always remember
Oh it was a night oh what a night...
Why she's gone gone gone yes she's gone gone gone
Came the dawn dawn dawn and my love was gone...

GIRL NEXT DOOR WENT A WALKIN'
(Bill Rice - Thomas Wayne)
« © '60 Regent Music, BMI / Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
The girl next door went a walkin' she found the boy she likes
She wanted to get married settle down for life
The girl next door went a walkin' she knew it was alright
She came home at half past ten late every night
The girl next door went a walkin' she found the boy she likes
She wanted to get married settle down for life
She didn't know love was so grand she never took love second hand
But to my surprise she thought that love was paradise
The girl next door went a walkin'...
The girl next door went a walkin'...
The girl next door went a walkin'...

LIKE A BABY
(Jesse Stone)
« © '60 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
You gave me love to enjoy like a bright shiny toy to a baby
No matter what you would do I depend on you like a baby
One thing I know I love you yes I loved you like a baby
It was a fool that you took and I fell cause you look like a baby
To lover's ways I was blind cause I just had a mind like a baby
You're just a flirt and I had to be her guide like a baby
I need you so I need you so
The day I found I am alive then I broke down and cried like a baby
Well it was then I could see you were playing with me like a baby
Well you can bet that some day I'll forget just like a baby
