Hey-hey, baby, hey-hey, now Please don't say we're through #04) Are you sure that I'm not the one? Is your love real or only fun? #05) I feel so good And knock-knock-knock on wood Yeah, I'm in a whirl I just love that girl #06) Baby, honey, don't leave me worried, oh, oh Yeah, baby, honey, don't leave me worried, oh #07) Can't get the car, my marks ain't been so good My love life just ain't swingin' like it should #08) Uncertain, he tags along behind Uncertain, 'til she makes up his mind #09) Our trips to the ocean were so much fun Remember the games we almost won #10) Every chance you get, you seem to hurt me more and more But each hurt makes my love stronger than before #11) Now, some of us would rather cuss And make a fuss Than to bring about a little trust #12) How can you ask me to try and get by with just one little kiss? (One little kiss) The kissin' you do, I need a second helpin' too (Need a second helpin', need a second helpin' too) #13) Although I'll still live on But so lonely I'll be #14) No, I won't be afraid Oh, I won't be afraid #15) Was I surprised, yeah Was I surprised, no not at all #16) We were all alone You told me that you cared (you told me that you cared) And I never will forget How happy I was that we were there #17) Here's our old favorite record I can't stand to hear it anymore Here's some old lingering love It's in my heart and it's tearin' it apart #18) Remember the night I met you? We danced until a quarter to two You held my hands and you kissed my lips Baby, what you tryin' to do-woo-woo-woo? #19) "Don't put your faith in love, my boy" My father said to me #20) You told me lies, now it's Your turn to cry, cry, cry #21) For blue-blooded girls of independent means We'd ride in limousines Their chauffeurs would drive #22) Spend his very last dime Tryin' to hold on to what he needs #23) We went to Mama and showed her my diamond ring She said "My poor little baby You must be crazy To think of such a thing" #24) Now, you kissed me and you rocked my soul Don't come around knockin' rock and roll #25) ------------ Tie-Breakers ------------ Smokin' marijuana is more fun than drinkin' beer But a friend of ours was captured and they gave him thirty years Maybe we should raise our voices, ask somebody why But demonstrations are a drag, besides we're much too high #T1) Linda's got looks Jean reads books Cindy can sew But I'd rather know #T2) ============================================================================ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please fill in the following information (append at the end of each line): Name(s) = E-mail address = Age(s) [will be published if provided] = Number of people (including you) who contributed to your answers = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
