THE CRYSTALS

Oh Yeah Maybe Baby
(Phil Spector/Hank Hunter)

Oh you make me lovesick, that's for sure
& I've got a funny feeling, I don't wanna find a cure &
Oh yeah maybe baby, I'm falling in love

I don't need a doctor, need no pills
But I've got a funny feeling & a fever & the chills &
Oh yeah maybe baby, I'm falling in love with you

Give me all your kisses, hold me in your arms
'Cause I've grown susceptible to your many charms

Got the heebie-jeebies, got the shake
& I've got a funny feeling, that is just-a what it takes &
Oh yeah maybe baby, I'm falling in love with you

(instrumental)

Oh yeah maybe baby, I'm falling in love with you

What A Nice Way To Turn 17
(Jack Keller/Larry Kolber)

My birthday candles have all gone out
The party's through & I'm alone with you
What a nice way to turn 17

I feel your sweet lips against my cheek
The lights are off, your shoulder feels so soft
What a nice way to turn 17

My friends all bought me so many gifts
But yours is the one I'm proudest of
A golden heart inscribed to me
"Happy birthday with all my love"

It feels like heaven here in your arms
Don't let me go, 'cause gee, I love, oh I love you so
What a nice way to turn 17
I'm 17

No One Ever Tells You
(Phil Spector/Gerry Goffin/Carole King)

When you're a little girl, the future looks so bright
No one ever tells you that it hurts to live
& things don't always have to turn out right

No one ever tells you 'bout love & how it can make you cry
No one ever tells you how your heart can break
When someone that you love tells you goodbye

(instrumental)

& when the pain begins & the teardrops start to burn
No one ever tells you how it hurts to live
No one tells you you just live & learn

(drums, fading out)

I Love You Eddie
(Phil Spector/Hank Hunter)

(Hey hey hey, hey hey hey)

I love you, Eddie, but so does Betty
'Cause you're such a handsome guy
Who's gonna kiss you? Who's gonna miss you?
Who's gonna laugh, & who's gonna cry?
(I love you Eddie, but so does Betty)

I love you, Eddie, but so does Betty
Tell me, which one will it be?
Make no mistake now, one heart will break now
Do you love her, or do you love me?
(I love you Eddie, but so does Betty)

Last night you took her to a movie show
Tonight you took me to a dance
Each day I'm hopin' that you'll let me know
That I've got the very best chance

(repeat verse 2)

Wo wo wo (hey hey hey, hey hey hey)
Wo wo wo (I love you Eddie, but so does Betty)

Another Country, Another World
(Phil Spector/Doc Pomus)

(La la la la la la, la la la la)
Oh he's from another country, living in another world

I fell in love the other night
You know, it was love at first sight
& though I love him so
I can't let him know just how I feel

(La la la la la la, la la la la)
'Cause he's from another country, living in another world

My friends all tell me that I'm wrong
To love a guy who don't belong
But try as I may try
I can't tell them why I feel this way

(La la la la la la, la la la la)
Yes he's from another country, living in another world

(instrumental)

But I would give my world
Just to be his girl, oh yes I would

(La la la la la la, la la la la)
'Cause he's from another country, living in another world
(repeat & fade):
(La la la la la la, la la la la)

Please Hurt Me
(Gerry Goffin/Carole King)

If you gotta hurt somebody, please hurt me
& if you gotta break a heart, then please break mine
I won't cry if you deceive me
I'll take it with a smile
I know someday you will leave me
But at least I'll have you for a while
So darlin', if you gotta hurt somebody, please hurt me
& if I have to be a plaything, that's what I'll be
Please hurt me, oh please hurt me
Come on & please hurt me
Why don't you please hurt me
..& fade

Look In My Eyes
(Richard Barrett)

Look in my eyes & tell me you love, love me
Tell me you want, want me
Or darling, I'll be gone, gone

Look in my eyes & tell me that you're my one heartbeat
& that our love will always be
Or darling, I'll be gone, gone

(over backing "oooo's"):
You said more time, so open your heart, mine
Now speak to me: do you want me?
I don't ask much for your touch
Help & love me, please
Or darling, set me free

(repeat verse 1)
("ooohs," fading out)

Heartbreaker
(this & all subsequent songs by Phil Spector/Jeff Barry/Ellie Greenwich)

Heartbreaker, hip shaker, troublemaker
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
That's the boy I'm waiting for
'Cause he'll grow up someday
I know he treats me mean, but he's 17
He thinks he's gotta act that way
Oh yeah, he's a...

Heartbreaker, hip shaker, troublemaker
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Don't you know he winks his eye
At every girl he sees, yeah
He's a flirt, all right; he stays out all night
They call him Mr. B-A-D

But I don't care; I love that boy
From the very first time I kissed him
So I have to wait until
He gets it out of his system (yeah yeah yeah yah)
Oh yeah, he's a...

(repeat verse 1)

Don't you know he winks his eye
At every girl he sees, yeah
He's a flirt, all right; he stays out all night
They call him Mr. B-A-D
Oh yeah, he's a...

(repeat & fade):
Heartbreaker, hip shaker, troublemaker
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Little Boy

Little boy, you probably don't know it
But on the night we met, you stole my heart away
Little boy, can't help it if I show it
But I wish that you would love me too
Just as much as I love you
Then I know you would see
That you were meant for me
Little boy, please let me be your little girl

Little boy, I hope you do believe me
'Cause it would break my heart if you should walk away
Little boy, just say you'll never leave me
& I'll give my heart & soul to you
Then you'll see our love is true
Yes, & I know you'll see
How much you mean to me
Little boy, please let me be your little girl

I just want to go every place that you go
& do everything that you do
I just want to know everyone that you know
Then spend my whole life loving you

(instrumental)

Yes, & I know you'll see
How much you mean to me
Little boy, please let me be your little girl

(repeat title & fade)

Girls Can Tell

Girls can tell if boys are true
By the things they say & do
& I can tell that you'll be true to me
Don't you know it means so much
When I feel your tender touch
When you say that I look real fine
When you put your hand in mine
We will always be together
Stay in love forever, girls can tell

Girls can tell if things are right
When they've kisses a boy goodnight
& I can tell that you're just right for me
When it's time for you to go
Gee I'll always miss you so
I gotta kiss you one more time
I gotta hear you say you're mine
We will always be together
Stay in love forever, girls can tell

Every day I'll love you more
Than I did the day before
Listen, I will make you see
Just how much you mean to me

Every time I look at you
I just don't know what to do &
I wanna hold you tight
I wanna see you every night
'Cause the stars that shine above me
I can say you love me, girls can tell

All Grown Up

When I'm all grown up, ain't no baby no more
I can do the things I couldn't do before
No more pony tails, I'll wear my hair up high
Because I'm 17, & that's the reason why

CHORUS:
Now I'm all grown up & I'll go where I wanna go
See who I wanna see, stay out late
I'm all grown up & I'll do what I wanna do
Be what I wanna be, gee I can hardly wait

Well I'm goin' on dates every Saturday night
& if he wants a kiss, I might say "All right"
I gotta have me fun & I'll be ready to go
I'm gonna go downtown, I'm gonna fill the floor

(chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus)

Gee, I can hardly wait
(scat singing, fading out)
