STOP LOOK AND LISTEN
(Joy Byers Johnston)
« © '66 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
When I was a little bitty boy a sittin' on my papa's knee
I still remember every word my papa said to me
Now boy if you ever meet a pretty woman walkin' down the street
You better stop real still look both ways listen or you'll get in trouble
When you see her go struttin' by a givin' you that evil eye
And she got a kinda dreamy look just enough to get you shook
Now boy don't you lose your head you pay attention what your papa said
You better stop real still look both ways listen or you'll get in trouble
She'll drive you crazy with the way she walks
She'll drive you crazy with the way she talks
And you'll think you're gonna lose your mind
Cause that pretty woman looks so fine
And the very first thing you'll know
Zou'll be tellin' her you love her so
You better stop real still

ADAM AND EVIL
(Fred Wise - Randy Starr)
« © '66 Erika Publishing, ASCAP / Nadel Music, ASCAP »
Now Adam and Evil they go hand in hand
Eve taught him sin that's the way it all began
But every time you kiss me my heart pounds like a drum
So trouble is a woman trouble here I come
I'm lonely like Adam you're evil like Eve
I shouldn't take forbidden fruit
Cause I believe I'll be heading straight for heartache
I should cut loose and run
But if loving you means heartache heartache here I come
You're not the angel that I dreamed about
But you're the devil I don't wanna live without
A woman's a woman a man is a man
I can't be free I'm just putty in your hands
Who cares about tomorrow I need your love tonight
And baby if you're evil baby hold me tight
You're not the angel that I dreamed about...
Hold me tight hold me tight hold me tight

ALL THAT I AM
(Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett)
« © '66 Gladys Music, ASCAP / Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP »
All that I am or ever hope to be
Lies in your hands you are my destiny
When you are in my arms I rule the world
And when we're far apart how cruel the world
All that I want is to be near to you
To spend my life making it clear to you
You are my heart my soul my dream come true
All that I am I am because of you
All that I want is to be near to you...
Because of you because of you

NEVER SAY YES
(Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)
« © '66 Cherry River Music, BMI / Pomus Songs, BMI / Mort Shuman Songs, BMI »
Look out now I'm running wild there ain't no holding back this child
I guess you'd say I'm a son of a gun living just for a life of fun
Here's the secret of my success never say yes no no never say yes
Life has taught me one big lesson always keep the girlies guessin'
Tell 'em that you love them so you hate to leave but you gotta go
That's the secret of my success never say yes no no never say yes
It's the oldest scheme in the world and you gotta know how to play it
Tell her yes in so many ways and never ever say it
That's how I keep goin' on here today tomorrow gone
That's the kind of life for me being free as I wanna be
That's the secret of my success never say yes no no never say yes
It's the oldest scheme in the world...
No no never say yes

One love one girl one dream shared by two
Am I ready to fall in love with you

I would be a fool to let you go
Should I could I how I wish I knew
Am I ready to fall in love with you
Should I could I how I wish I knew
Am I ready to fall in love with you fall in love with you

When her motor's warm and she's purrin' sweet
Buddy let me warn you you're on a one-way street
She'll crowd yyou close spin your wheels
Then you're gonna know how it feels to spinout yeah spinout
Better watch those curves never let her steer
If she can shake your nerves boy she can strip your gears
She'll get your heart going fast
Then she'll let you run out of gas so spinout yeah spinout
The road to love is full of danger signs
Too many guys were lost who crossed those double lines
Don't you know she's out to prove she can really score
Never saw parts move boy like that before
To flag you down that's her goal
Scoot before you lose control and spinout spinout
The road to love is full of danger signs...

TOMORROW IS A LONG TIME
(Bob Dylan)
« © '66 Special Rider Music, SESAC »
If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not an endless trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear her heart softly pounding
If only she was lying by me then I'd lie in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the water
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
I can't remember the sound of my own name
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting...
There's beauty in the silver singing river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else could match the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting...
If today was not an endless highway...
Yes and only if my own true love was waiting...

I'll remember you long after this endless summer has gone
I'll be lonely oh so lonely living only you to remember you
I'll remember you your voice as soft as the warm summer breeze
Your sweet laughter mornings after ever after I'll remember you
To your arms someday I'll return to stay till then
I will remember too every bright start we made wishes upon
Love me always promise always ooh you'll remember too
I'll remember you
