LOOKING BACK

(Clyde Otis - Brook Benton - Belford Hendricks) « © '59 Clyde Otis Music, BMI / Ensign Music, BMI »
Looking back over my life
I can see where where I caused you strife
But I know oh yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again

Looking back over my deeds
I can see signs that a wise man heeds
Oh if I had just one more chance
I know I'd never make that same mistake again

Once my cup was overflowing
But I I gave nothing in return
But I can I can begin to tell you
What a lesson what a lesson I've learned

Looking back over the slate
I can see love as it turn to hate
But I know oh yes I know
I know I'd never I'd never make that same mistake again

I ALMOST LOST MY MIND

(Ivory Joe Hunter) « © '49 Unichappell Music, BMI »
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
My head's been in a spin since she left me behind

I went to see a gypsy to have my fortune read
I went to see a gypsy to have my fortune read
I hung my head in sorrow when she said what she said

Well I can tell you people the news was not so good
I can you people the news was not so good
This time your baby's left you this time she's gone for good

She said this time your baby's left you
And buddy this time she's gone for good

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 yeah
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 and fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name cause I know you're gonna treat me right

You give me fever when you kiss me...

Now listen to me baby and hear every word I say
No one can love you like I do cause they don't know how to love you my way

You give me fever when you kiss me...

Well now you've heard my story here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever bring it fahrenheit or seantigrade

They give you fever yeah when you kiss 'em fever when you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle what a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn fever gonna make you burn

WHAT A DREAM

(Chuck Willis) « © '61 Berkshire Music, BMI / Chuck Willis Music, BMI »
(Dream dream dream dream dream)

Woke up this morning and I looked around
So disappointed I laid back down
Oh what a dream oh what a dream I had last night

Dreamed that I held you in my arms
But I'm still waiting for that day to come
Oh what a dream oh what a dream I had last night

Dreamed we were walking down the aisle
The organ was playing Here Comes the Bride
You looked up at me you began to smile
When I looked around everybody began to cry

I opened my eyes and you weren't there
All of my happiness just disappeared
Oh what a dream oh what a dream I had last night
Oh what a dream oh what a dream I had last night
Oh what a dream oh what a dream

IT'S TOO LATE

(Chuck Willis) « © '62 Unichappell Music, BMI / Tideland Music, BMI / Chuck Willis Music, BMI »
It's too late she's gone it's too late my baby's gone
Wish I had told her she was my only one
Lord it's too late she's gone

It's a weak man who cries so I guess I better dry my eyes
Yes I will miss her more than anyone
But it's too late she's gone

She's gone oh my baby's gone she's gone my baby's gone
She's gone yes she's gone oh where where can my baby be

I wonder wonder does she know when she loved me oh it hurt me so
I need you loving please don't make me wait
And tell me it's not too late
[ strings ] I need you loving please don't make me wait
And tell me it's not too late
