Memphis
Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee.
Help me find a party tried to get in touch with me.
She did not leave her number, but I know who placed the call.
My uncle took the message, and he wrote on the wall.
Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie.
She's the only who'd call me here from Memphis, Tennessee.
Her home is on the south side, high up on the ridge,
just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge.
Help me, information, more than that I cannot add.
Only that I miss her and all the times we had.
But we were torn apart because her ma did not agree,
She tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee.
(repeat)
Last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye.
With hurry-home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eyes.
Marie is only six years old, oh information, please,
try and put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee.

Lucille
Lucille, you don't do your daddy's will.
Lucille, you don't do your daddy's will.
Well, it ain't nothin' to ya,
but I love you still.
Lucille, please come back where you belong.
Lucille, please come back where you belong.
Well, I'm beggin' to ya, baby,
please don't leave me alone.
Ah, well, I woke up this morning,
Lucille was not in sight.
Asked my friends about her,
All their lips were tight.
Lucille, please come back where you belong.
Well, I'm beggin' to ya, baby,
please don't leave me alone.
I'm beggin' to ya, baby,
please don't leave me alone.

You Better Move On
You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love.
You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of.
But who are you to tell who to love?
That's up to her, yes, and the Lord above.
You better move on.
Well, I know you can buy her fancy clothes and a diamond rings.
I believe she'd be happy with me without those things.
Still, you beg me to set her free,
but, my friend, that will never be.
You better move on.
I can't blame you for loving her,
but can't you understand, man, she's my girl?
and I-I-I-I'm never gonna let her go.
'Cuz I-I-I-I love her so.
Well, let me tell you how.
I think you better go; I'm getting mighty mad.
You ask me to give up the only love that I ever had.
Maybe I would, but I love her so.
I'm never gonna let her go.
You better move on. You better move on. You better move on.

I'm Talking About You
Let me tell you about a girl I know.
I met her walking down Lowtown Street.
Well, she's so fine.
Well, I wish she were mine.
I get shook up everytime we meet.
I'm talking about you.
Nobody but you.
I do mean you now.
I'm just trying to get a message to you now.
Let me tell you about a girl I know.
I tell you now, she looked so good.
Well, guys stood still
at such a beautiful build.
She had a face right out of Hollywood.
chorus

Just One Look
Just one look,
that's all it took, yeah.
Just one look, yeah.
Just one look,
and I felt so I'm
in love with you. Oh oh.
I found out
how good it feels
to have your love. Oh oh.
Say you will,
will be mine
forever and always. Oh oh.
Just one look,
and I knew that you were my only one.
I thought I was dreaming,
but I was wrong, yeah yeah yeah.
Oh but I'm gonna keep on scheming
'til I can make you, make you my own.
So you see, I really care.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Just one look and I know
I'll get you someday.
chorus
Just one look, that's all it took, yeah. ...

Keep Off That Friend Of Mine
Keep off that friend of mine.
He's not for you.
He just wants to spin you a line.
That's nothing new.
Just one thought in his mind.
You know he's the kind.
You shoulda known when you met him
or you must be blind.
Seems like only yesterday
that girl was mine in every way.
People couldn't part us if they tried.
Now she's turned her head away.
She's lost her smile, she's not so gay.
Won't you come back to my side?
(repeat)
Keep off that friend of mine ...

Rockin' Robin

tweed-la-dee, tweed-la-da-la-dee,
tweed-la-dee, tweed-la-da-la-dee,
tweet, tweet, tweed-la-dee.
He rocks in the treetops all the day long,
hopppin' and a-boppin' and a-singing his song.
Every little bird, every little bee
loves to hear the robin go tweet-tweet-tweet.
Rockin' Robin, tweet, tweed-la-dee.
Rockin' Robin, tweet, tweed-la-dee.
Yeah, go Rockin' Robin, really gonna rock tonight.
Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee,
every little bird in the old oak tree,
wise old owl, big black crow,
flap their wings saying "Go, bird, go."
chorus
A chief bird standing at the birdbath stand
taught him how to do the bop and it was grand.
Started goin' steady and bless my soul,
he out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole.

It's Only Make-Believe
My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care.
My hopes, my dreams come true. My one and only one you.
No one will ever know how much I love you so.
My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care,
but it's only make-believe.
My hopes, my dreams come true. My life I give for you.
My heart, a wedding ring, my all, my everything.
My heart, I can't control. You ruin my very soul.
My hopes, my prayers, my schemes.
You are my everything, but it's only make-believe.

Bus Stop
Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say,
"Please share my umbrella."
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
under my umbrella.
All that summer we enjoyed it,
wind and rain and shine.
That umbrella we employed it.
By August, she was mine.
Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop.
Sometimes she'd shop,
and she would show me what she'd bought.
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane.
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same.
That's the way the whole thing started.
Silly, but it's true.
Thinking of a sweet romance
beginning in a queue.
Came the sun the ice was melting,
no more sheltering now.
Nice to think that that umbrella
led me to a vow.

Candy Man
Oh come on, baby,
let me take you by the hand.
Oh now, come on, sugar,
let me take you by the hand.
You're for me.
Oh, let me you're own Candy, Candy, Candy Man.
Now, come on, baby,
I love your honey-loving, honey loving ways.
Yeah, now, come on, sweetie,
I love your honey-loving ways.
Yeah, come to me,
Oh, let me be your own Candy, Candy, Candy Man.
Now, hey there, woman.
Gonna treat you right.
Give you candy kisses
every single night.
Candy Man
Candy Man
Candy Man (Candy Man)
Candy Man (Candy Man)
Yeah, you're for me.
Oh, let me be your own Candy, Candy, Candy Man.
Yeah, you're for me.
Oh, let me be your Candy Man.
Candy, Candy Man.

Baby That's All
The night turns to dawn
You're there by my side.
You showed your love.
Baby, that's all. Baby, that's all.
You're all that I want.
For my love you were made.
Please say to me,
"Baby, you're all, all that I want."
Say you love me,
come on home now,
and tell me that you're mine.
Keep me for your own now,
and I will love you all the time.
Baby that's all. Baby that's all
Baby that's all.

I Am a Rock
A winter's day in a deep and dark December.
I am alone.
Gazing from my window to the street below
on a freshly fallen , silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock. I am an island.
Don't talk of love.
Well, I've heard the word before.
It's sleeping in my memory.
Don't disturb the slumber
of feelings that have died.
If I never loved, I never would have cried.
chorus
I build walls,
a fortress deep and mighty,
that none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship.
Friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
chorus
I have my books
and my poetry to protect me.
I am shielded in my armor.
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
chorus
And a rock feels no pain.
And an island never cries
chorus x 2

We're Through
I should be better off without you.
You take pride in making me blue.
I'm telling you, my friend,
it's got to be the end.
We're through.
I told you time and time again.
You told me he was just a friend,
but I found out some way,
he's been out each day
with you.
'Cos you never treat me tenderly.
You got no reason for leaving me,
'cos I can't leave you alone,
'cos I knew from the start
you'd be tearing me apart
sooner or later.
(repeat)
And now my crying days are through.
No longer shed a tear for you.
I'm telling you, my friend,
it's got to be the end.
We're through.
We're through.
We're through.

Don't Run and Hide
Don't run and hide from the people.
Don't run and hide from them all.
Don't run and hide now,
'cos you're only hurting yourself.
Ask me why and I'll tell you things
that you never heard now.
'Bout yourself, what they're saying,
I know that it will hurt you.
Please fight back,
it's important how you accept their lies now.
If you run, you condemn yourself
and they'll realize, now.
Then you'll be hurting me 'cos I'm left on my own
and I've got them to face.
chorus
Stay with me. You'll convince them all
that it isn't true now.
Be with me and we'll prove
just how strong our love can be now.
chorus
Don't run and hide from the people ...
