Tonight You're Gonna Fall In Love With Me
They say that you will never settle down
They say that you just have to run around
But they don't realize you're in for a big surprise
Tonight you're gonna fall in love with me
I'm gonna treat you like you're a king (you're a king)
To win your lovin' I'll do anything (anything)
I'm gonna treat you fine, I'm gonna make you mine
Tonight you're gonna fall in love with me
All the girls are after you, it really shows (that you know)
But tonight I'll hold you tight & you will be (he will be)
In love with me (in love with me)
Before you know it, you will be my guy (be my guy)
My friends will turn their heads when we walk by (we walk by)
One kiss will be the start, one kiss will win your heart
(repeat & fade):
Tonight you're gonna fall in love with me
Everybody tells me I'm
A fool & I'm just wastin' time
To love someone who's not in love with me
Friends all say that I'm a dope
To stay in love when there's no hope
But I'm a dope who loves him hopelessly
CHORUS:
What can I do? Hey, what can I say?
Each time I try to say goodbye
His lips get in the way
Oh yeah, his lips get in the way
He says my love don't mean a thing
But still he keeps me on a string
I'm just someone he likes to have around
I say I want no more of this
But then he stops me with a kiss
I can't resist him though he puts me down
(chorus)
Everybody calls me fool
They say "Hey girl, go back to school
& learn the things that every girl should know"
But I guess I've got no brains
Because my foolish heart remains
I just can't break the chains & let him go, no no
(chorus)
(repeat title & fade)
I went to a movie with some girlfriends of mine
I saw a handsome boy on the ticket line
He followed us up into the balcony
& he sat down right beside me
(male voice): Hey girl, what's your name?
(Shirley): Shhh! I'm watchin' the movie
(male voice): My name's Steve, what's yours?
(Shirley): Shhh! I'm watchin' the movie
I really wanted to meet that guy
But it wasn't right & so I acted shy
Right in the middle of a kissing scene
He brought me a drink from the soda machine
Steve: Come on baby, let's leave this place
Shirley: Shhh! I'm watchin' the movie
Steve: Oh come on, come on, let's go
Shirley: Oh well, all right
He seemed so nice I decided to go
He took my hand & said "Let's go"
Now we go together to the movie show
'Cause he's my guy & I dig him so
We sit way back in the balcony
But when I wanna talk he says to me
Steve: Shhh! I'm watchin' the movie
Shirley: Oh please, come on, Steve
Steve: Oh come on, let me watch it
Shirley: Plese, let's...
Steve: It's just about over
Shirley: But I wanna walk with you

March! Hold your head up high
March! You'll find another guy
Another guy, wo oh
I told my friends that you were so fine
& they told me that you'd be unkind
I guess I was wrong, as you proved yesterday
I guess they were right when they used to say
"You'll be sorry, you'll be sorry"
I was a fool to believe in you
& I was a fool, but what could I do?
That had me goin' with your gentle ways
& I never listened when my friends would say
"You'll be sorry, you'll be sorry"
Oh now that you left me, my friends all tell me:
March! Hold your head up high
March! You'll find another guy
Another guy, wo oh
(high-pitched, like barks): Oh oh oh! Oh oh oh!
"You'll be sorry, you'll be sorry"
Ooo now that you left me, my friends all tell me:
(repeat & fade):
March! Hold your head up high
March! You'll find another guy
Another guy, wo oh
Love that man, love that man, love that man, love that man
He's always complaining about this & that
& when we go out, he forgets to take off his hat
He's not the fancy kind, but I'm so glad he's mine
I just love that man, I love that man
Sometimes I wait for him late at night
He never thinks to call to say he's all right
I'm mad on the man, but I'm glad when he comes home
'Cause I love that man, I just love that man
He never does what he's supposed to when he ought to
Yet least when I expect it, he says "Look what I brought you"
Oh you can see what he means to me & understand why
I just love that man, you know I just love that man
Love that man, I just love that man
I guess I could never ever let him go, no
I tell him over & over I love him so
To me he means the world, & I'm glad to be his girl
I just love that man, I just love that man
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
...& fade
I Met Him On A Sunday
(Coley/Harris/Lee/Owens)
(Doo ronde ronde ronde pa pa
Doo ronde ronde ronde pa pa
Doo ronde ronde ronde pa pa
Doo oo oo oo ooo)
Well I met him on a Sunday (oooooo)
& I missed him on Monday (oooooo)
Well I found him on a Tuesday (oooooo)
& I dated him a Wednesday (oooooo)
Well I kissed him on a Thursday (oooooo)
& he didn't come Friday (oooooo)
When he showed up Saturday (oooooo)
I said "Bye bye baby"
("Doo ronde ronde," etc.)
(repeat Thursday through Saturday lines)
("Doo ronde ronde," etc.)
Not sure girl, been gone for long long still
& now the Romeos are knocking & ringin' my bell
They just keep hangin' around
Steady to right to break me down
CHORUS:
Oh but their ain't gonna be no love
No no no no no no no no
There ain't gonna be no love
Till my baby comes home
Temptation comes creeping into my mind
I'm only human & I'm feelin' weak sometimes
When you're waitin' for a special guy
You wanted to trust & satisfy
(chorus)
(scat singing by backup; Shirley sings too soft here to be discernable)
(repeat chorus & fade)
Baby, is there a world without you?
What could there be without you?
For every time it seems you're gone
Somewhere you've been sighted
The more you hold me tight
The less I wanna go to sleep
There's a world of sorrow, want no tomorrow
Oh what would I be whenever I'm left without you?
Shades of blue, shades of blue
Baby, is there a world without you?
What could there be without you?
You know, there's something about the things you do
Oh something about the things you say
'Cause I've been missing you
Lonely boy, you know oh oh
There's a world of sorrow, want no tomorrow
Oh what would I be whenever I'm left without you?
Shades of blue, shades of blue, shades of blue
(repeat & fade):
Baby, baby
(Look away, look away, look away, look away)
Turn your head & walk on (don't stop) when you see me alone
Don't you bother to say "Good day"
'Cause I do believe I'm makin' out OK
Don't stare at the tears in my eyes
Don't you think that I've got a ridin' sigh
(Look away, look away) when you do me
(Look away, look away) 'cause I just like to be
Turn your head & do some (can't you see) that I'm tryin' to be strong
Don't you look at me like that
Don't you know that you're bringin' all the mem'ries back
This far I do my friends so well
But when you look in my eyes, I'm gonna mope & die
(Look away, look away) when you bump into me
(Look away, look away) just pretend you don't see me
Nobody knows it but you
So keep it a secret; they treat us cruel
If my friends were as cold as ice
It'd all be my friends', not my price
(Look away, look away) don't you look at me
(Look away, look away) you'd better let me be
Don't let me know what, what buddy's up for you
You're a fool, you're broken in 2
(Look away, look away) keep on walkin'
(Look away, look away) just start to talkin'
(Look away, look away)
...& fade
Don't Go Home (My Little Darling)
Don't go home, my little darlin'
Please don't leave the party yet
Don't go home, my little darlin'
Now that we have finally met
Can't you see I came to the party
'Cause I knew that you'd be here
Dance with me & stay at the party
So that I can hold you near
Don't go home, my little darlin'
Please don't leave the party yet
Don't go home, my little darlin'
Now that we have finally met
I have waited long for the party
'Cause I knew we'd finally met
When I saw you here at the party
Something made my world complete
(x3):
Stay just a little bit longer
Please, just a little bit longer
(repeat & fade):
Don't go home, my little darlin'
Please don't leave the party yet
Don't go home, my little darlin'
Now that we have finally met
(Sha la la la la la la la la la, sha la la la la la la la la la)
Come on baby, won't you come with me?
There's so many things for us to see
There's a heaven made behind each door
We'll see things we never saw before, & we'll sing
CHORUS:
(Sha la la la la la la la la la, sha la la la la la la la la la)
Baby, baby, you & I will be seein'...
Bright shiny colors so strange & new
Bright shiny colors I'll see with you
Bright shiny colors, that's what I'll say
Bright shiny colors run through my head
(Sha la la la la la la la la la, sha la la la la la la la la la)
(instrumental)
People's faces painted just like clowns
We'll ride elevators up & down
We'll go places no one ever goes
We'll go walking on our own rainbows, & we'll sing
(repeat chorus & fade)
(Wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo)
All my life I'm gonna love you just as much as I can
& no one's made me ever think so much as anyone, man
CHORUS:
Too much of a good thing can never hurt anybody, baby
& you've got a real good thing with me
So move a little closer, come closer to me, & you'll see
Too much of a good thing never, can never hurt anybody, baby
& you've got a real good thing with me
Oh baby, oh baby
I was savin' all my love until the day I met you
& I'm gonna give it all to you until I get you
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(repeat chorus & fade)
I thought I'd found the right guy, but another girl caught his eye
When he turned his back on me, oh I thought I'd die
I'm just a-hanging on; most of my hope is gone
Lonely nights still linger since he slipped through my fingers
Last-minute miracle is all I can hope for
I'm getting hysterical, praying he'll walk through the door
I didn't miss heartache at last, oh heartbreak in my own past
(Last-minute miracle) is all I can hope for (last-minute miracle)
This infatuation can't last in his heart; I'm anticipatin' makin' a
new start
If I can't share in his sweet lips, my life will cease to exist
Last-minute miracle is all I can hope for
Giving my love to a stranger, leaving my heart in danger
All hope's fading away; please let him come back to stay
(Last-minute miracle) is all I can hope for
(Last-minute miracle) hey hey hey
(Last-minute miracle) is all I can hope for (last-minute miracle)
I need some love so fast in this confusion, this heart wearing the pain
Never have I been so disillusioned; when I ever love again
Last-minute miracle is all I can hope for
I'm getting hysterical, praying he'll walk through the door
I didn't miss heartache at last, oh heartbreak in my own past
(Last-minute miracle) is all I can hope for
(Last-minute miracle) is all I do
(Last-minute miracle) I'm beggin' you please
(Last-minute miracle) last-minute miracle
...& fade
No doubt about it, I'm in love & can't do nothin' about it
I can't concentrate on, on nothin' I do
My mind's always, always on you
& my achin' heart's laughin' back the blues
My heart's laughin' back at the blues
No doubt about it, when you skip down the street & shout about it
Oh when you find yourself singin' a summer song
In the pourin' rain, & you walk on
'Cause you walk along unaware of the rain
Singin' a song like a lovebird in spring
Oh I love you, there's no doubt about my love
Oh baby I love you
No doubt about it, I'm in love & love everything about it
Because everything about love is true
All that you love is you & only you
Baby, it's you, only you & only you
Baby, it's you, only you & only you
(applause)
You made a mistake, boy, when you took my love for granted
Now you hold a hurting heart that's been disenchanted
You're tellin' everyone that it's just you & me (just you &
me)
But you were so wrong (you were so wrong)
To assume that I'd be; listen to me baby
Wait till I give the signal, then go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
Wait till I give the signal, then go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
You've covered too much ground; you're too demandin'
It's time to slow you down; you've got a bad understandin'
You didn't stop to get things clear; things aren't what they really
appear
Now you're drownin', drownin' (drownin', drownin')
In your own tears; listen to me baby
Wait till I give the signal, then go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
Wait till I give the signal, then go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
Baby, why can't you hear me? Baby, why can't you hear me?
You've covered too much ground; you've got a bad understandin'
It's time to slow you down; you're too demandin'
You didn't stop to get things clear; things aren't what they really
appear
Now you're drownin', drownin' (drownin', drownin')
Now you're drownin', drownin', in your own tears
Ooo yeah, listen to me baby
(repeat & fade):
Wait till I give the signal, then go ahead
Don't talk about love, boy; it's not what I'm thinkin' of, boy
I had love before, yeah; I don't want it no more
CHORUS:
I just want a good good time, just show me a good good time
& I'll show you a good good time
& there'll be no heartaches or heartbreak
Oh everything will be fine
I'm gonna be wild & free now, that's how I'm gonna be now
No time to get down, no; I don't wanna be bound
(chorus)
Oh just swing me around & around & around; don't stop dancing
Faster & faster & don't stop to talk about love romancin'
Oh I wanna laugh & be gay; it's been so long since I've been that
way
So if there's nothin' to see, boy, then you're not the one for me,
boy
Even though you're fine, yeah, love ain't on my mind
(chorus)
(repeat & fade):
& there'll be no heartaches or heartbreak
Oh everything will be fine
You'll Know When The Right Boy Comes Along
My mother told me the day would come
When I would want to love someone
She sat me down on her knee
& this is what she said to me:
She said "You'll know when the right boy comes along
You won't necessarily be weak or strong
Your heart'll skip & your knees'll get weak
Oh you'll know he's the one when you hear him speak
& the first time he tells you you're gonna know
He was well worth waiting for
Don't you worry, now don't you cry, don't you worry"
She said "You'll know when the right boy comes along
You won't necessarily be weak or strong"
Will he be mine? I wanna know if the boy to find
"& the only way you'll know if his love is true
Is when he's gonna tell you he'll love only you
So don't you worry, now don't you cry, don't you worry"
"All the stars in the sky gonna shine very bright
All the night in his arms hold you tight
Chapel bells gonna ring & the birds gonna sing
So till you're asking older days (remember what your mama say)"
(repeat verse 1)
(repeat & fade):
Don't you worry, now don't you cry,
Hey baby, I should have known from the very start
That this love we had didn't last
You got crossroads in your heart
They're goin' north yeah yeah oh
They're goin' north, south, east & west
I thought your love was true
& now my love will never do
Hey hey baby, hey hey baby
I found out, without a doubt
You got crossroads in your heart
You went north to get a little kissin'
You went south to get a few hugs
You went east to get what you were missin'
You went west to get my love
Hey hey baby, hey hey baby
Hey hey baby
You got crossroads in your heart
(instrumental)
Go north, north & south, go east, east & west
You know right right right from wrong
& lovin' you, I do love every
Hey hey baby, hey hey baby
I found out, without a doubt
You got crossroads in your heart
Go north, north & south, go east, east & west
You know right right right from wrong
& lovin' you, I do love every
(repeat & fade):
Hey hey baby
