She goes downtown in a pair of old blue jeans
(Little Miss Go-Go, Little Miss Go-Go)
She's the kind of girl who knows what bein' dry means
Little Miss Go-Go, Little Miss Go-Go
Oooo ooo ooo ooo, well, look at her go
Yeah, look at her go
She heads for the beach with the radio on full blast
(Little Miss Go-Go, Little Miss Go-Go)
She skis with ease down a snow-filled mountain pass
Little Miss Go-Go, Little Miss Go-Go
Oooo ooo ooo ooo, well, look at her go
She can find her fun 'most any place
(She has fun now any place)
Stayin' at home or goin' to a hot dog race
The guys are standin' in line to take her out
(Little Miss Go-Go, Little Miss Go-Go)
She knows what to do when the band plays "Twist & Shout"
Little Miss Go-Go, Little Miss Go-Go
Oooo ooo ooo ooo, well, look at her go
(instrumental)
Little Miss Go-Go, Little Miss Go-Go
Oooo ooo ooo ooo, well, look at her go
(repeat verse 3)
(repeat & fade):
Well, look at her go
Doin' The Flake
(Leon Russell/Leslie/Gary Lewis)
(Bass voice: Flake, flake, do the flake, do the flake, flake, flake)
(Other backup voices sing same)
Everybody from miles around
Comes out dancin' when they hear this sound
Crazy new dance that's the top of the town
It's the flake
You get Peggy & I'll get Sue
We'll head on down to Malibu
All our friends will be there too
Doin' the flake
Surf, sand, sun & fun
Makes the day at Malibu Run
Stop, listen when you hear that beat
It's easy to do, just move your feet
Shootin' the curl till the surf's all gone
Dance in the sand with your baggies on
Grab yourself a chick & swing along
To the flake
(same backup routine as at beginning)
I Don't Wanna Say Goodnight
(P.F. Sloan/Bart)
Baby, here we are; somehow I knew I'd feel like this
It's a funny thing that I had a hunch we couldn't miss
I should've tried to keep you from knowin'
But how can I stop my love from showin'?
CHORUS:
I don't wanna say goodnight (no no no no)
I don't wanna say goodnight
Baby, please don't make me
Was it the way you smiled the first time you caught me looking at you?
Or is it just tonight that's makin' me feel the way I do?
It's gettin' late & I should be goin'
But I can't stop my love from showin'
(chorus)
Don't send me away when I've been waitin' so long to hold you in my arms
Baby, here we are; somehow I knew it would be like this
It's a funny thing that I had a hunch we couldn't miss
I should've tried to keep you from knowin'
But it's too late now, you really got me goin'
(repeat & fade):
I don't wanna say goodnight (no no no no)
She doesn't know my name
She couldn't feel the same
Got no fortune, got no fame
But she's not to blame
'Cause I'm a guy who's very commonplace
I was born to be another face in a crowd
I met her yesterday
Couldn't think of what to say
So she turned & walked away
It happens every day
'Cause I'm the kind who'd never find a place
I was born to be another face in a crowd
A guy like me never has, has a chance
'Cause I don't rate a second glance
There's millions just like me
Waitin' for a chance to be
Someone who is worthy of
A young girl's love
(repeat & fade):
& I'm so tired of bein' commonplace
I don't wanna be another face in a crowd
Autumn
(P.F. Sloan/Steve Barri)
You could search the whole world over
But you'd never find
A girl so easy to fall in love with
But so hard to get off your mind
I knew the first day that I saw her
I'd soon be living my life for her
CHORUS:
Autumn, Autumn (Autumn)
How your name has touched my heart
Autumn (stay beside me), Autumn (close beside me)
Say we'll never part
She's so completely different
From other girls I have known
She does the things you'd expect her to do
But in a way that's all her own
You don't know what she does to me
When she's makin' love to me
(chorus)
I thought I had life down pat
Love 'em, leave 'em & be on my way
(Love 'em, leave 'em)
But girl, since you gave your love to me
In your arms is where I'll stay
(repeat chorus & fade)
My Heart's Symphony
(arranged by Leon Russell/Glen Hardin)
When you told me that you loved me
And I thought I could tell that you did
My heart told me all was well
From the deepest part of me
There came a melody
Complete with harmony
As my heart played for me a symphony
(instrumental)
I remember all the times
You told me that you were mine
And I remember what it did to me
From the deepest part of me
There came a melody
Complete with harmony
As my heart played for me a symphony
(instrumental)
But when I read your goodbye note
When I read the things you wrote
When I knew that you had gone from me
From the deepest part of me
Came tones of tragedy
No trace of harmony
No symphony
For there was no heart left in me
Tina
(Snuff Garrett/Leon Russell/Gary Lewis/Curtis)
Tina, I held you in my arms & the world stood still
& all at once I realized my heart's at the mercy of your will
Tina, I kissed your tender lips & fell under your spell
I'm so devoted to you 'cause I love you & I always will
(x2):
'Cause you hypnotized me & made me your slave
A slave to your kisses, a slave to your kind lovin' ways
Tina, you thrilled me with your touch & I can't get free
Free from the chains of love that I pray will soon bind you to me
Where Will The Words Come From
(Sonny Curtis/Glen Hardin)
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't love you anymore?
When I command my lips to say
"It's over now, please go away"
Will the words be there
Or will they fail me like they've always done before?
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't want you, I don't love you anymore?
What happened to the love we had when it went away?
Did it change itself into a cloud & become a rainy day?
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't want you, I don't love you anymore?
(instrumental)
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't love you anymore?
When I search inside my soul
For words to tell of love grown cold
Will the words be there
Or will they fail me like they've always done before?
Where will the words come from
When I tell you I don't want you, I don't love you anymore?
Way Way Out
(songwriting credits unavailable)
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
We're gonna take a trip, girl
So slip into somethin' slinky & smooth
Just wave the world goodbye, let's fly
'Cause girl, I've got a whole lot to prove
I need to show you I know you & me
Were meant to go the whole route
If you stick with me, girl
You'll see what the game of love's all about
I'm gonna put a smile upon your face
Get ready now, you'd better brace yourself
We're gonna take a trip in outer space
Fly now, we'll be back later, girl
Come on & go with me
& you'll see what the game of love's all about
It's way way out, way way out
Way way out, way way out
Time to pack your bag, just grab my hand
& let me show you the way
I've nominated you the girl who
I would like to lead me astray
I'm gonna prove to you that love is groovy
So you'd better watch out
I'm gonna hold you, kiss you
Teach you what the game of love's all about
The moment that I saw you in the crowd
I planned to take you into orbit, girl
I'm gonna get us lost inside a cloud
'Cause that's the only way to fly
So put your trust in me
& you'll see what the game of love's all about
It's...
(repeat & fade):
Way way out, way way out
The Loser (With A Broken Heart)
(Don Nix/Leon Russell)
Have I got the right to call myself a man
Or will I go livin' up to my name again?
When I get the chance to love I let it pass
It's not the first I lost & it won't be the last
CHORUS:
'Cause I'm a (loser) with a broken heart
(Loser) tearin' me apart
(Loser) & The Loser is my name
When I use my heart just like a stepping stone
& when it's torn apart I feel so all alone
Feelin' sorry for myself is all I do
Things don't ever turn out like I want 'em to
(chorus)
I'm not asking much from love
Not expecting much from love
If just once I could win
I could fall in love again
In the end I know that I will always choose
I have only one direction I can choose:
Stay & let me treat her like the fool I am
Have I got the right to call myself a man?
'Cause I'm a (loser) with a broken heart
(Loser) tearin' me apart (loser)
...& fade
Girls In Love
(Alan Gordon/Gary Bonner)
Speaking of all those girls in love
With a guy in their eye, they're lookin' so adorable
Gee, I want one for me
Since the world's made of all those girls in love
It's a factuality one is bound to fall in love with me one day
Bridge:
You gotta live each day with this logical philosophy
Come with me; she'll come in time
'Cause I found out that love is not supposed to be mine
Till I find her & I'll find her
If I fall in love & the girl's in love
Then I wait for the day when I say that I'm thinkin' I do
If the girl's in love too
(instrumental)
(repeat bridge & verse 3)
Jill
(Alan Gordon/Gary Bonner)
Jill, between you & me
I can see the gleam in your eyes
& I can hardly wait to see you, Jill
Just as if you were here
I can hear your voice softly call
But no, no Jill is here at all
My love is only a dream away
Jill is only a dream
All my life, I've done crazy things
Gonna find a bird that sings to me
La la you, la la la, ooo oooooo
Jill, are you thinking of me?
I'll be thinking of you
All my life
(instrumental)
La la you, la la la, ooo oooooo
Jill, are you thinking of me?
I'll be thinking of you
All my life
(3 whispers of "Jill")
Let's Be More Than Friends
(Ted Daryll)
From the very day I met you, it was love at first glance
So I planned & schemed, prayed & dreamed for just one little
chance
Well, today my wish came true
& I find myself alone with you
Oh baby, let's be more than friends tonight
I remember people tell me it was just a waste of time
That a guy like me could never win a girl that was so fine
& I said they'd change their song
But it's up to you to prove them wrong
Baby, let's be more than friends tonight
Let's be more than friends tonight
(instrumental)
& I said they'd change their song
But it's up to you to prove them wrong
Baby, let's be more than friends tonight
(repeat & fade):
Let's be more than friends tonight
When Summer Is Gone
(S. Curtis)
I値l see you in September
When summer is gone
Have a good time but remember
I値l be waiting back home.
And when you go out dating
With some guy all alone
Just remember I値l be waiting
When summer is gone.
When the warm June night surrounds you
Don稚 fall under his spell;
When he puts his arms around you
Remember that I love you so well.
And I値l see you in September
When summer is gone
Have a good time but remember
Come back to me when summer is gone.
When the warm June night surrounds you
Don稚 fall under his spell
When he puts his arms around you
Remember that I love you so well.
And I値l see you in September
When summer is gone
Have a good time but remember
Come back to me when summer is gone
